In answer to my own question - in case anyone finds this through Google - I simply needed to install indicator-appmenu, thus:
sudo apt-get install indicator-appmenu
Not sure why this thread is labelled as Lubuntu. I'm actually using normal Ubuntu, and can't work out how to change it.
I've just upgraded from Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid to Precise, but I don't have global menubars in any applications - the menus remain stubbornly attached to individual windows instead. I've tried...
Have you tried using the right-hand Alt key? Confusingly, the left key does something different.
Open System Monitor (I think it's installed by default; if not, install it) and look at the Memory and Swap History section of the Resources tab.
If you buy one today from Apple, it will be a 4.2 Mac. It's impossible to guarantee that Apple won't have suddenly decided to change supplier for some components, but that seems unlikely.
Based...
I should say, though, that a fresh installation is usually much faster - 5 minutes to download and burn the USB stick and another 10 to install it. Upgrading can take several hours on a slower PC,...
When it's released, you'll be prompted to upgrade within a day or two. If you're feeling impatient, you can upgrade to the latest daily release with the command
sudo update-manager -d
You might...
petelox1, Zeleran, jrm7262: Ubuntu 12.04 will be out in a metter of days. 11.10 needs significant tweaking and, if you're struggling to make things work immediately, you're probably best to wait for...
That works for me on a MacBook Air 4,2. The alternative is to tap and hold with two fingers, and then to use a third finger to click.
The wiki is the best place to look. To the best of my knowledge it's firly up to date.
Have you tried choosing an earlier kernel from the startup menu? If that works, open Synaptic (you might need to install it first) and remove the latest kernel (linux-image-3.0.0-15-generic).
I...
From memory, the script is fussy about whether the USB stick is mounted before you start. I think then it expects it to be mounted, but I might be wrong.
The easiest way to ensure it's mounted is...
It works perfectly for me using the default driver (I've never bothered with mtrack) but I found that it was essential to adjust the trackpad's sensitivity to get a really good experience. Scrolling...
I'd be wary of deleting OS X, as, without it, you won't be able to snag any future firmware updates. I'm no OS X expert - like you, I use Ubuntu almost exclusively - but, when I needed to release...
Suspend is usually working fine here, but there seem to be one or two programs that disrupt it. If someone has logged in and run one of those programs, trackpad clicks are sometimes disabled on...
@berryman77, that's a huge difference! I'll add something to the wiki when I get a chance.
berryman77, I'm on exactly the same kernel. And my laptop's running a little cooler today at 49C - no warmer than in OS X and the fan's at the minimum 2000RPM.
I have added...
Yes, Unity 3D with Compiz. My temperatures were taken during a little light web browsing, but I never see the temperature rising by more than a couple of degrees during normal usage(Minecraft...
berryman77, how warm is your room? These are the readings for my 13" i5 Air on an unusually balmy November evening in Wales - it feels like maybe 21C in my kitchen:
No problems with overheating...
I can't say that I've noticed flickering in a terminal session, but Intel's Sandy Bridge graphics drivers are defnitely not as mature as I'd like. My kids have noticed a similar flickering in...
Do you have an xorg.conf file? If so, does it explicitly reference the mtrack module. If so, try removing that section.
Another possibility would be to run the post install script again.
I'm not close enough to the inner workings of the post-install script to answer all of the questions that have been raised in the past few days, but here are a few hints that might help you to start...
It works from a live USB session for me.
