Never mind, not really fixed. Now everything in the dash is off-center and ugly.
Somehow some settings got messed up (I didn't delete those files, so G-d knows how). I fixed it by running
gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Interface text-scale-factor 1.0
gsettings set...
I was hoping that there would be some kind of program someone had written to handle this situation. It would certainly be possible to write a script that would do it (even I could make a bad one),...
I would like to bind super-tap to synapse in Lubuntu, having it behave essentially like the dash in Ubuntu, while still retaining the ability to use super's shortcuts etc. Is there any package that...
I was playing around with trying to start X sessions and at some point made the mistake of attempting a start an X session as root from my home directory, which prevented me from logging into a...
You can also use two different user accounts, which results in a different set of weird interactions. You can share a wine prefix as I describe here (the answer from today/this year) to help with...
Running Ubuntu 16.04 with the xfce4 package installed, I was able to hit ctrl-alt-f2, log in to my the same user account, and run
xinit /usr/bin/xfce4-session -- :1 vt2
There were some...
I recently did a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04 on my Macbook Pro 11,2, replacing Ubuntu 14.04. Thus far, it has given me nothing but grief. This post is about the notification bar.
When my...
I ran
wine C:\ Program\ Files\ \(x86\)\\SSI\\Reach\ For\ The\ Stars\\reach\ for\ the\ stars.exe
Running

I was trying to play an old game (the 2000 version of Reach For The Stars, which does not have a WineHQ page), and I found that I can open it by launching it from nautilus using "Open With Wine...
I fixed it by running
sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source
and then reinstalling by downloading the package manually from the repository using my Ubuntu USB stick, then booting into my main...

Update: I still can't use wifi on my standard Ubuntu installation. I *can* use wifi when I boot up Ubuntu from a boot disk, so it's not a hardware issue. When I boot Ubuntu from my USB stick, I can...
My wifi has been acting up, so I ordered a USB wifi adapter off the internet for my Macbook Pro 11,2. The adapter didn't work on Ubuntu out of the box (though it claims to work on Linux), but while...
Here's the solution I came up with for now:
Run
echo "pointer = 0 0 0 4 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0" ~/.togglebuttons
and then make a script called ~/.toggleclicks containing the lines
On my old computer (an ASUS), there were buttons to turn the trackpad on and off, which was very useful because I'm apt to accidentally click on things when I don't want to, and sometimes I'm in a...
I do a lot of vector editing with Inkscape and end up needing to do batch processing of the images to change formats and mess with colors and stuff. I always have used Imagemagick for that when...
Several months ago when I acquired this Macbook Pro, I followed some guide that I've never been able to find to map my command keys to behave like control keys and the control key to behave like a...
qpdfview seems to meet my needs, after enabling Settings>Behavior>Auto-refresh and disabling Settings>Graphics>Decorate Links.
I'm currently using Ubuntu 14.04 and evince.
I'm working on a huge paper in LaTeX, and I view it on the computer by using pdflatex to make it a pdf. I recently added hyperlinks to the equation...
I figured out how to use the application switcher gesture (not that i really want to). But I still find it annoying that it doesn't immediately disappear after becoming inactive.
I have been having issues with scrolling, and also the application switcher sometimes comes up when I don't want it to and didn't want it (I am aware of the multitouch gesture), and is very difficult...
I'm unlikely to switch before 16.04, but I was wondering if anyone knows how configurable Unity 8's window manager etc will be? I am sure that I will miss the glory of ccsm... The loss of wobbly...
I ended up getting the Macbook Pro. The Thinkpad L is fundamentally a better machine for the money (although obviously the Macbook Pro is a nicer machine, but the price point is quite high),...
