GNOME certainly hasn't made the upgrade from 2.x to 3.x smooth, but this problem was finally fixed in Nautilus 3.x, as far as I can tell anyway.

Good I'm glad you got it working, as I was otherwise stumped. And Bugzilla isn't the easiest thing to navigate for a mere mortal. Yes, it's true that Launchpad ignores failed builds, but so many...

Wow. Your problem is similar to mine, only waaaaaaaaay more amplified! Based on your previous posts I was testing stuff to see if I could recreate your problem, but I now see that I was going in...

This is not the same problem I have. I see that the b's are all shaped like the same symbol, and you say it happens outside of FF. I am willing to bet it's some sort of locale issue or font...

Hard to say. I'm using an Intel chip as well. With the Nvidia driver installed I have to use Compiz. When I use Metacity I eventually get lots of graphical glitches and have to restart. On the...

This "distortion" also happens to me, especially in text boxes and in the add-on manager. I haven't noticed it outside of Firefox, but sometimes restarting doesn't fix it and I have to log out and...

Glad to help!

Aha! Yes, you should delete all references to compiz in /opt, especially "compiz-decorator", if it exists. Once you do that then log out and in. Everything should return to normal.

If it...

No, all your settings will remain intact. Reinstalling will only affect the system files (libs, binaries,etc.), none of which are your settings. Packages when installed/uninstalled should never...

Hm. Try typing this into a terminal:

ls /usr/bin | grep compiz

If you see a compiz++ entry among the results then it installed in /usr instead of /usr/local. It has to be somewhere:)

I am...

Yes, the same thing happened to me. Did you delete the items in /usr/local/* that related to Compiz? Your settings will always be there and stored in ~/.gconf unless you do something to them,...

Actually, it's not obscure. It's very simple! The compiz++ script installs the new version of Compiz (0.9), which is a total re-write and will make it's official appearance in Ubuntu 11.04. It...

I don't have all the answers, but if you have a dual core processor, which I assume you do, you need to have 2 cpu frequency applets, each set to the appropriate processor in their settings. 1.6 +...

Glad I could help! I should probably provide a bit more information.

Before moving to Mint I never used Ubuntu's update utility or Ubuntu Software Center. I only used Synaptic, so I don't know...

As I mentioned previously, I too have moved to Mint 10. My desktop computer has been on for 2 days and is still working fine.

Mint comes with it's own updater. In this updater there is a feature...

Even with the new kernel the OS still eventually became unusable. I have uninstalled Ubuntu 10.10 64bit (for the 2nd time!) and am now using Mint 10 32bit. Everything seems to be working fine,...

You may be right. I spoke quickly, I had only been using the new kernel a short time.

After leaving my computer on for 24 hours with kernel rc8 and Metacity w/compositing enabled I am still not...

Installing the latest kernel seems to have fixed it for me too. For what it's worth, I tried EVERYTHING before I installed the new kernel. I even re-installed the entire OS.

I have tried the rc5...

Just running "gnome-terminal" plus the command won't work.

As for using "gnome-terminal -e" plus the command, I use it on a regular basis, mostly in mygtkmenu and shell scripts.

Another way is to create a shell script with

gnome-terminal -ebefore your command. that should work with any command. For example, create a new text file and name to "top" or "top.sh". Then put...
