I have followed the instructions very closely, but I can't get the OpenGL renderer changed to AMD VEGAM. No matter what I do, it stays llvmpipe, what is a software renderer.

I am testing certain connection setups with JACK, and I use the QjackCtl application to setup JACK and start/stop the JACK server. I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

I am not well acquainted with all...

Thanks, I was missing the tweak tool where I can choose between the themes!

Hi,

I like the look of Ubuntu GNOME (http://ubuntugnome.org/). With that I mean the icons and fonts and desktop/lockscreen backgrounds, etc. But I have the "default" kind of Ubuntu installed, the...

Somehow I managed to mess up my system and now at startup I am faced with terminal login screen. I survive by logging on, then I do "sudo rmmod nvidia" and following with "sudo lightdm start", and...

Oh, boy.

Since the wise approach involves full backup, there's little point in breaking my neck trying to set it all up so that Windows install actually works and nothing else is broken.

Hello,

Ok, here's this weird request, shame on me, I know :)
So, I want to install Windows 7 on my laptop, alongside the Ubuntu 12.04 that is running there right now. For gaming, obviously, cause...

Ubuntu 11.10, Classic desktop.

Hello,

I've upgraded from Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 to 11.04 to 11.10.

I've discovered that keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+[Right/Left arrow] to select by words not working in the Unity desktop. The...

The installation might be non-trivial, but the good news is it's working.

That file is pretty big and that would be kind of weird to publicly post all my LAN IPs. I can confirm that when I do
$ ping internal.domain.name, I see it properly resolved and the ping itself is...

It's just more convenient to refer to PCs in the LAN (including the virtual machines with individual IP addresses), using a human-readable ID. So, I keep a list of local IP addresses in my hosts...

Attached is the console output, it's too big to be politely inserted in the message body.



Well, if I replace the IP address with the Windows box NetBIOS name, it fails to find it with error...

Hello,

Why is that

$ sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.0.100/http -o username=myUsr,password=myPwd ./FolderName

works on my Ubuntu 11.10, while

$ sudo mount -t cifs //domain.name/http -o...

Ok, figured this out by myself. There was an apache config conflict, and the config without mod_python enabled took over the config with mod_python enabled.

Hello,

Sorry if this is too general forum space where to ask such question, but I didn't find more appropriate one.

Well, I can't get my Apache2 to process Python *.py files. I checked numerous...

Ok, did what you say,

Now the newly created folders in /opt/gamename/saves are still owned by the user who created them (as it should be), but the group is correctly set to "games" now. So, that's...

Thanks for the reply,

I already had the savegames folder group set to "games", and the group permissions set to "read+write". However, the savegame folders created in there by other user accounts...

Hello,

I'd like to set up a simple game on my kids' PC, so that they can share the savegames etc. I've moved the game folder to /opt/gamename, assigned to the folder group "games", and changed the...

Hello,

My Ubuntu 11.04 started to act bad: it gives the login screen, let's me open my pwd, but, shortly after the Enter is clicked, instead of loading the desktop manager, it pops the login...

Hi,

I have acer TravelMate 5760G Laptop, with Nvidia GeForce GT 540M graphics on it.
Unfortunately, I can not get it to run with Nvidia drivers, what prohibits to run it with OpenGL. I need to...

Thanks, I'll go and check the manual how the screen works.

Hello,

Time to time I need to access my work PC from home. It is running Ubuntu 10.04. Typically it has several virtual machines running on VirtualBox, and typically I access remotely those VMs...
