While I absolutely love everything else about Kubuntu 12.10, there's one minor-yet-annoying bug I've yet to figure out: audio lags if I tell KDE to prefer my USB headset (a Microsoft LifeChat...

These are mostly minor nags, but still:



Compiz sucking performance of stuff like games. I know Unity's essentially just a Compiz plugin, but it's sort of disappointing how Ubuntu's de-facto...

Wish I could, but I'm actually running into the same problem myself. :lol:

I have a Broadcom B4318 wireless card, and while I can get Ubuntu to boot from live media by blacklisting the wireless card, I'm wondering if it's possible to install the proper drivers (manually, I...

Quick question: would the blacklist for GRUB be permanent or does it only take effect for the session that it's entered? I want to know because I'm unsure whether blacklisting my wireless chip would...

You sure? Were you able to boot into a 12.04 live session even without firmware? I've found that 12.04 is the first version of Ubuntu to just flat-out refuse to boot thanks to my desktop's wireless...

Possibly, though I'm not entirely sure since Atheros is supposed to have excellent Linux support. I wouldn't doubt that your Broadcom ethernet card would be the culprit though; I would suggest...

Do you have a Broadcom wireless chip? That's what was causing my live USB to freeze... I had to blacklist it by adding "blacklist.b43=yes" to my boot options (accessed by either F6 or TAB at the boot...

Mhm, I actually have the proper drivers and firmware files backed up on an external drive, so would simply installing the drivers/firmware make my card work or would I need to deblacklist the card...

Thank you! I am curious though: would blacklisting my wireless card carry over to an actual install or would it only persist for the live session? If it does carry over: how would I go about...

Thanks, though I'd prefer to run it natively rather than through Wine. At least Quake III Gold should work...

Mostly out of curiosity, and since I saw that my boxed copy of Unreal Tournament GOTY Edition supports Linux natively, I thought I'd give it the old college try since A: it looks fun, and B: I wanted...

And just as quickly Skype got borked, something's got it working perfectly again. :D Marking as [SOLVED].

Hmm... didn't seem to work for me. I find it peculiar, especially that up to a couple of weeks ago, Skype worked flawlessly for me, even better than in Windows, as a matter of fact. Maybe an update...

Yeah, two posts in about an hour, shocking. :p

Anyways, this problem's been bugging me for the past couple of weeks: Skype no longer seems to want to cooperate or integrate with Ubuntu's settings...

Never mind, found the problem; it was my CMOS time that was off. Marking as solved.

I've got a weird problem with the clock in Unity: it seems to be five hours behind where it needs to be even though I have the time set up to be synced over NTC. Any way to fix this?

Anyone know of a way to stop Chromium from scrolling down when the spacebar is pressed, especially if a plugin is focused? I find it really irritating, and the bug seems to be Linux-specific.

So this is a somewhat well-known problem with Wine and Unity, then? I had it, it annoyed me to the point that I switched to using KDE as my default desktop. GNOME Shell also doesn't suffer from this...

I'm running Skype 2.2 on Kubuntu 11.10, and despite the release notes for Skype stating that it works better with themes like Oxygen, it still looks like Plastik from KDE3. Anyone know how to get...

Amarok 1.4, as well as KDE3 in general, has been absorbed by the Trinity team. http://www.trinitydesktop.org/
While they don't have anything for Oneiric yet, they are working on getting 11.10...

sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool
in the terminal. This might drag in GNOME Shell as a dependency though, but you don't have to use GNOME Shell to use the tool.

Alright, I got my 11.04 machine upgraded to 11.10 today, and while everything else is as smooth as butter, there's one rather annoying bug that's stuck around since 11.04: Ubuntu Software Center...

Thanks, but I got sound working with Flash. Turns out that regular Flash in the default Ubuntu repos works fine, for some reason. Now the only real issue I have is getting my USB headset to work...

I found time this morning to do a clean reinstall of Ubuntu, and decided to go with Kubuntu 64-bit. So far, everything seems to work... everything, that is, except sound in Flash. I installed Flash...
