Is there a way to disable it temporarily? Normally I want power saving. It's only when I'm watching a movie in my browser that I need to disable it. Surely someone must have come up with some kind of...

Since I installed Lucid I have found that when I drag a window to the top of the screen in KDE, unless I do so very carefully and gently, it maximises and fills the screen. How do I stop this...

I've switched from networkmanager to wicd and I don't have any problem any more.

Ah. Thanks!

The strange thing is, recently I've not noticed these messages any more, and in the settings the notifications are already disabled. Spooky :D

And sorry for not noticing and...

Will there ever be compose key and 3rd level chooser sanity? I've been having terrible problems with these not functioning properly, and they seem to be getting worse. I have filed bug reports in the...

Hello,

Does anyone have a suggestion for a very simple tool I could use to manage sales leads?

I said CRM in the title of this thread, but I don't really need anything that full-featured. All I...

Ah. It seems to have corrected itself after a reboot.

Out of the blue, after using PulseAudio for quite a long time, it suddenly decided to use the (non-existent) digital audio output of my sound card instead of the analog one. How do I make it change...

How can I stop my wifi roaming when I don't want it to? I connect to the internet through one of a number of hotspots in my area, all with the same name. Frequently, sometimes several times an hour,...

I'm having a persistent problem with my wireless connection getting dropped in favour of another access point with the same SSID but a different ESSID. AFAIK this can't be disabled while...

I have started using the Kopete Facebook plugin and now I end up getting dozens of very distracting pop-up messages every time Kopete checks in with the server, telling me who has come on-/gone...

I have managed to work around the problem, at least this once, using the following procedure. Most likely some of the following steps aren't necessary, so you may be able to simplify it somewhat:

i am having a problem with skype that i wasn't having before, and afaik skype hasn't been upgraded recently, so something else presumably has changed.

because of driver issues i have to use an...

Thanks for replying :)

For some jobs a pdf will probably do, but for others they specifically state they want a word doc. Sending both won't work because I can't rely on the recipient to print the...

I have to send CVs to people as Word docs. I compose them using Linux Libertine font. This means that if I send them as they are, they will almost certainly be viewed in a completely inappropriate...

Setting swappiness to 10 in /etc/sysctl.conf and rebooting has made a world of difference. At the moment it doesn't look like I'll need to go lower than 10, but we'll see.

I'll give noatime a try...

@philinux: Thanks for that. I've specified vm.swappiness=10 in /etc/sysctl.conf. We'll see what happens when I reboot.

That said, I seem to have more than one thing going on here. I've still been...

I have 3GB ram on my laptop, which means that most of the time I can manage fine without needing to use swap memory. However occasionally I have hit the limit and found my machine thrashing itself...

I've got a generic mass storage device, but I see absolutely nothing in Amarok 2 to do with dealing with it: no settings, no panel, no nothing. This no matter whether I start off with the device...

The fault is definitely not with Amarok because I can assign the media control keys to KWin actions and run into the same behavour.

I'm tempted just to knock it all on the head because I have...

I had keytouch already running (although I don't remember installing it). I've tried uninstalling it, but that leaves things exactly the same; The XF86MediaNext key works, but the other three still...

Yes it does. Here is what xev tells me as the other user:

Thanks once again for your help!

I tried the suggestion, but it didn't work unfortunately.

I've noticed that even though the KDE keyboard controls recognise the keys for what they are supposed...

So if it's designed for games, why is it often taking up 1-2% of my CPU when I'm not playing any games? Does it do anything important, or can I safely disable it?

Thanks for replying!

dmesg|grep atkbd.c gives me nothing.

I'm not quite clear what you mean about the system just not knowing what the keys mean. I can set the keybindings in the KDE keyboard...
