Is there a tool available in ubuntu that can access the firmware on a usb drive? Or this is too esoteric (and I am at the mercy of PATRIOT)? I am only guessing that this is some firmware setting...

What is the meaning of "Mode Sense" in the dmesg output? I'm wondering if this is the culprit, and is there a way to disable it.

The normal-functioning 16GB PATRIOT:

I just purchased this PATRIOT 16GB Axle tonight. The first thing that I did was to change the fs label from "patriot" to "pinky" (because they come in black and pink, and I already have a black one,...

So, I got this no-contract LG Optimus Q Android phone at Walmart. I am instantly fascinated (my first smartphone), but immensely annoyed with all of the trachphone crapware that runs in the...

Thank you, dcstar. Unfortunately, I don't understand networking well enough to make use of that information. (I've never even heard of UDP; thank god Ubuntu is strong in the...

Thank you, nothingspecial.

So, I suppose that I will just have to shutdown and restart occassionally (about once per week) ...

Could it be that I just have a knack for choosing hardware that...

Thank you for the explanation, lovinglinux. I think that makes sense to me.

Olle, do you actually know how to make window maximized by default (for all new documents)? I saw the -f switch in the --help-all, but I would prefer to have it maximized rather than fullscreen. (I...

Is there a way to change this thread's tag from "lubuntu" to just plain "ubuntu"? I don't use LXDE (which I'm assuming is the "l" in "lubuntu".)

Thank you for the link, lovinglinux. I will try those "tweaks" one-at-a-time (which may take me a while).

I still would like to have a better understanding of why I experience the particular...

Thank you very much for the reply, marinara.

I certainly don't reset the keyboard layout on purpose, and I don't open any menus when this happens. I haven't figured out how to recreate the...

I run Lucid Live on a netbook. Is there a way to set Evince (pdf viewer) to always launch to maximized window by default? I tried to find a gconf setting, and looked around in the hidden folders...

I run Lucid Live on a netbook. I use the standard Firefox web browser.

Very often, when I click a hyperlink, the only thing that happens is that I see the status bar at the bottom right of the...

I am running Ubuntu Lucid Live from an external flash storage. I use two different netbooks: toshiba mini nb505 and gateway lt2805u. Lucid usually runs fine with only various minor glitches (like...

Apparently, the first Debian Squeeze DVD is larger than 4 GB, and apparently this is a problem for various downloaders.

I first tried wget, but it stopped at 4.0 GB.

Then, I tried curl, but...

I'm not sure what you mean by "format", wildmanne, but probably that is what I'm talking about. There is apparently a style for webpages, maybe CSS or something; I don't claim to understand how that...

Thanks, ysangkok. However, I should have clarified: I want Firefox to do less rather than more to load pages, so Greasemonkey is a bad solution for me. I've found that setting No Style helps a bit,...

Thanks for responding, Temujin.

I am having this issue on a Toshiba Mini NB505-N508 (a netbook).

I do understand that there may be hardware driver issues. (Indeed I have already encountered,...

Does anyone know how to set (change) the default pagestyle in firefox?

I can select my desired pagestyle from the View > Page Style menu; however, this is reset every time I launch a new instance...

This did not work for me. I already had these settings from the beginning. Every time I connect to my wireless router, I am asked for a password (not the key, but a password that I had to choose...

I'm running the Lucid release.

When my battery is fully charged according to the power indicator and then the external power supply is disconnected, a message and dialog box both pop up claiming...

I found this thread in a google search for a related "feature", and it reminded me how much I also love the new "theme" of ubuntu. Shamefully, I also tried to remove the envelope and x bubble icons...

So a string is not the same as a pointer to a character array?

Is there a (simple/buitlin) way to test the input stream to see if the first character is a newline? This seems kind of strange, but...
