I had an identical problem with my installation of Xubuntu.

After reading your output from /var/sys/log, I installed the following two packages on a hunch and restarted: gnome-settings-daemon and...

An even more elegant solution:

make your entry in startup applications read "tomboy --quiet".

Thanks for the howto! Worked like a charm for me.

However, I upgraded from ext2 to ext4. I made one modification to step three in order to make the upgrade, and I thought I'd share it:

@ clemyeats, your suggestion worked, but couldn't help picking at the problem. i managed to get software-properties to work by editing the "/etc/lsb-release" file. i replaced the contents with...

i think i have the same problem. fooman: the problem is not updating the repositories, the problem is trying to open the software sources program:

i had the same problem, with "exec: 9: -a: not found". i edited the file "/usr/local/bin/giver" and changed line 9 from

Well, the thread title pretty much sums it up. Gufw (Graphical uncomplicated firewall) is a GUI for ufw. It makes sense to me. If ufw is supposed to make firewall setup easier, Gufw would take it...

i found this page on the community ubuntu documentation website. it gives some instructions on compiling an ubuntu kernel with badRAM built in.

the instructions are fairly in depth, so i won't...

do you have desktop effects turned on? it's possible you turned negative mode on by accident.

if so, try hitting <super>+n (the super key is also known as the windows key). this toggles negative...

UN Security Resolution 242, one more piece of the Middle East's rocky history.

i had the same problem. for anyone else with this error, this is what i did to solve it:

1. in the /var/lib/dpkg directory: i replaced "available", "diversions", "statoverride", and "status" with...

to anyone wondering the answer to this: no, you shouldn't have to. most GNOME based programs should run out of the box with PA. exceptions include: Audacity, Skype and Flash. I've also heard of...

Okay, so this is actually two ideas, but they are related. First, i think that ubuntu should replace ESD with PA. it's a far superior sound system, albeit with some issues at the moment.

second,...

another person made a gutsy package of the old deskbar here. the version is "higher" than the one in the repos, so it won't get overwritten by updates. it has some glitches though. restarting GDM...

as ripfox and extremecarver mention, the 'intel' driver *just works*. hitting ctl-alt-backspace with the s-video cable attached is enough to make it work, no switching of xorg files nescessary. ...

this new intel driver - is it the one installed by default in feisty, or do i have to install it myself?

:p

i may be a little slow on the uptake at times, but i'm not suicidal!

edit: just saw dbbolton's post

the artwiz fonts aren't appearing on my GNOME system. any idea what gives?

i don't know if it's relevant, but when I was installing the package, aptitude produced this warning:
