Hi folks,

I've recently bought a high DPI ultrabook (1080p on 13"). My question: is there any method to do some scaling on Ubuntu (without decreasing the resolution, of course), or should I go...

I used Nod32 on Linux for a month (free testing), it's cool like on Windows, but I hadn't have a single issue on Ubuntu, not even a warning! There are viruses for Linux, of course, but this case you...

I like dual panel file managers more, but the default file manager "Nautilus" is pretty good for everyday tasks. You will see all your drives, can attach drives on servers via SSH or FTP. The 3.6...

It's maybe because the system tries to install new AMD/ATI drivers, which no longer support your card (I'm not sure if your VGA is supported or not). I had the same problem! Give this PPA a try! ;)...

I think that it's possible that whenever you log in to a gnome session (Unity, Gnome Shell), the DE overwrites some settings. If you really like Openbox, give Lubuntu a try without the LXDE DE (or a...

Thanks, this really works! I've found it on the packagers site: https://launchpad.net/~makson96/+archive/fglrx
This will downgrade X and patch the kernel module to the kernel version 3.5 ;)

Hi,

I have an ATI HD4500. Is there any way to install the ATI/AMD driver on Ubunu 12.10? On 12.04 everything was fine, but now I can't game and my VGA gets sometimes loud :( I could use the AMD...

It's a cool program indeed! I think the solution will be some hack on Udev rules or something like that, but there must be an easier way to assign the emitted scan-codes to these simple desktop...

Both Lubuntu and Xubuntu (LXDE and XFCE desktop environtments) are good lightweight alternatives for "normal" Ubuntu with Unity or Gnome Shell. Check out their homepage and try the one you like the...

Hi guys,

recently i bought a Logitech Wireless Touchpad. Most of the multi-touch functions works well out of box, but it would be really nice to be able to switch desktops using the 4 fingered...

My solution was to build a "custom" system from the ubuntu-core image. It's really not difficult! Just follow a guide to install your desired DE and after that install everything you/your wife...

Sure thing! You should create an extended partition instead of many primaries. (You will be able to have 3 primaries and an extended) For example you can store all your linux stuff on a single...

An ATI driver install should't affect your other (LAN/WLAN) drivers! Try removing the driver through jockey (and than install it again), don't forget to reboot. You can also try the new beta AMD...

This live tool used to fix my grub problems: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/rescatux/ Just boot it from a pendrive and follow the instructions ;)

Good luck with Ubuntu!

Hi guys,


I run into a problem: I would like to import and open a CSV file with specific settings (UTF encoding, ";" as separator, etc...), but I just can't get a working macro file and I don't...

Hi guys,

I just read about posix shared memory (ATI video card), and wondering, how could this affect the video performance of my HD4500 card. Should I try to install an official ATI driver from...

Hi,
check out this website: http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXPanel
Search your config file (in ~/.config/lxpanel/LXDE) for the line like this:


margin=0 # margin: margin to the edge of the...

You can try Screenlets, but a conky is a much more elegant solution! Search for some simple scripts, try them and modify them to your own needs, it's not to difficult ;)

yes, you need to type them into the terminal, and maybe post it here, so we can see what could be wrong with your hardware ;) the command 'lsusb' listst your USB ports and devices, the 'lspci' your...

The easyest way is to switch the phone to USB mode, then it will be work as a simple flash drive, letting you transfer data and stuff.

What are you searching for? USB? PCI?

Try 'lsusb' or 'lspci' etc :)

Try to make some free space, resizing NTFS partitions, and then create your SWAP and root. Don't worry about /dev/sda, if it's your only hard drive (not partition), it should be ok ;)

Have you ticked/unticked the "run in terminal" option? I don't really know mono anyway, maybe there should be an option too to lauch exe-s without terminal.

Hi all,

I've a Lubuntu 11.10 with Openbox installed, and I also applied some icon themes. Most of the applications respect it, but for example the terminals, Firefox and Thunderbird don't want to...

HI guys, I've just installed my DCP-165C cups driver, and it works fine for me. But the scan drivers don't, the brscan can't see my device... I've got all the needed drivers installed, and added the ...
