I definitely disagree with your first point. You should always make something visible to start if it can be adjusted to not be visible. That way, people can easily see it and decide if they want it...
Try downloading the Bumblebee drivers: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee
Whatever was going on must have been fixed in an update as this is no longer a problem.
I was able to resolve this issue by downloading the Bumblebee drivers to work with Optimus.
One thing in 12.04 that really annoys me about the application switcher is that it groups applications together when more than one window is open. For example, say I have two word documents open. If...
Unfortunately they haven't responded to my email yet. Does anyone have any more ideas?
I just sent them an email. Hopefully they will be able to figure it out. Thanks :)
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
For a long time I had a problem being stuck in Unity 2D. I found out that it was because of the Optimus driver, so I disabled it through the BIOS menu. However that made my GPU continually overheat....
Ok so the problem is definitely the GPU. I was watching the temperatures last night and the temps for the GPU would skyrocket whenever I did anything graphically taxing like watching a youtube video....
I have a Dell Latitude E6420 with a Intel® Core™ i5-2520M CPU @ 2.50GHz × 4 CPU and a NVS 4200M/PCIe/SSE2 GPU. Everything has been really good so far. I had to disable Optimus in the BIOS which...
Chromium Web Browser is Google Chrome
I have only tried OpenShot, but I'm really liking it so far. I would definitely recommend it.
Gotcha. Well if you want some more desktop environments to experiment with, check out this website: http://modifyubuntu.com/#de
I'm not exactly sure. I had a whole bunch of different drivers installed from when I was trying to get Unity3D to work, so I'm not sure which drivers are in use. The GPU is an Nvidia though.
Just...
I don't know what kind of CPU you have, but if you have an intel CPU, odds are it has an Optimus GPU built in and this can be causing problems by forcing the system into Unity2D as opposed to...
That is a pretty excellent quote.
Just make sure you don't edit something that you don't know what it does. If you don't know what something does, research it before modifying it. As long as you...
Well you can change the login screen again now in 12.04. Thanks to everyone who helped here.
I've added the programs you suggested and through Psensor (hddtemp) it shows that my GPU is in the high 50's and low 60's while temp1 is at 25C and /dev/sdais at 36C. Could it be the GPU that is...
This sounds like a great and easy alternative to creating a custom Live CD/USB. This is something that will definitely be useful for reinstallation or installation on another machine.
This is an excellent topic. I was hoping that there was a way to do this. I have Ubuntu on my Laptop and plan on putting it on the next Desktop that I get. I was dreading having to install all of my...
There are a few programs you can download that give you some more customization options in Ubuntu: Advanced Settings, Ubuntu Tweak, My Unity, and CompicConfig Settings Manager. The last one you need...
I think I saw some stat that said Linux will be shipping on 5% of computers this coming year, so Linux is definitely starting to gain some ground and get the support it deserves.
I just thought I would add that I agree with the other people who have said that it is best to just disable Optimus, if possible. If that is still an option in the Asus BIOS, I highly recommend...
