Alas, far from being a "dead thread", this issue is still alive and well. (EliteBook 8470p here, on both Debian 9.4 and Ubuntu 18.04)

Sadly, the "Tapping" option that works for libinput touchpad...

Ya, that's probably what I'll do.

But a patched version of Moonlight would be DE-independent, I should think...

Nah, I've been ticked off about Netflix's not supporting Linux for a while, but it wasn't really a pressing matter until I discovered Win XP's EOL next year.

We have a family of 7, so...

Hopefully Ubuntu will offer it in the Restricted or Multiverse repositories, somewhat in the vein of the paid Software Center apps, or the closed-source codecs (e.g., libmp3lame,...

@coldraven

Yeah, Netflix is actually the only site I've ever seen that uses Silverlight, and it's really the only reason I ever installed Silverlight (bet you dollars to donuts that Netflix...

I didn't assume it wouldn't wok without trying it. In fact, I went into it with the concept of it not working hardly on my mind at all. But, nonetheless, all it did was eat up my CPU cycles for 10...

I've read about the issue of Netflix not supporting Linux (first, they said "there's no Silverlight." Moonlight was pointed out, they said "there's no DRM." The Linux community offered support, and...

Ha, yeah - I "accidentally" the hard drive on the old laptop (messing around with GParted, fdisk, and parted.. on an NTFS partition with a bad sector ;_;) so I installed Kubuntu to see what would...

I've always heard people saying that they dislike Unity, so they're switching to GNOME/Openbox/KDE/etc.

BUT - I can almost never get a straight answer on why it's so bad.

Some things I've...

I was just wondering if it would be possible to run another Linux distribution (e.g., Arch,) in a chrooted environment.

What got me thinking about this was the Ubuntu distro, Crouton, which runs...

I've been trying to record a film, where the video is my desktop, and the audio is from my Webcam, but I can't seem to feed the right arguments to RecordMydesktop to get the audio working.

The...

#-oOh, now I see how xboxdrv works!

What do I type to remap the + pad? Currently, my command looks like this:


sudo xboxdrv -s --type xbox360 \
--deadzone 9000 \
--dpad-as-button \...

I got a wired XBox 360 afterglow controller from a friend, and I set it up, but for some reason VBA doesn't recognize it.

Any ideas? I am competent with command-line work, and have already...

I actually have no experience coding in C++ (I'm currently learning Python,) and I've never experimented with OpenGL, but after reading that article, I can't see why the reference to...

I couldn't get anything out of that thread, but I did look into OGLRender.cpp and here's a snippet of the code:


static void OGLLoadEntryPoints_Legacy(){ // THIS IS LINE 152

I've been trying to get DeSmuME installed, and the versions in the official repos are incredibly stale, so I decided to compile it myself. Sadly, it's not working.

After installing the packages...

You, sir, are amazing.

The amdconfig command returned errors (I'd tried to manually remove fglrx, by deleting every shared object I could find that had fglrx in the name...) but the logfile said I...

Hooray, my entire Ubuntu installation is destroyed! There's absolutely no GUI, even on the login screen, and TTY7 (the one that usually has the graphical login screen) just had the usual system boot...

I can't delete my comments or edit/flag/delete posts at all in Firefox. I think may have mentioned it in a meta somewhere, but I think it either died or got closed as Too Localized.. Doesn't matter...

Okay, so the only option is an open-source driver. That's all right, because the idea of using the proprietary one kind of grossed me out anyway.

Where can I find this open-source driver then?...

I'm trying to record some sound from a flash game that has a rather neat soundtrack, so I start the game up, and then run this in the terminal:

arecord -f cd -t raw | oggenc - -r -o...

I have a Radeon HD 4350 graphics card, and it's not working in Ubuntu. At all. Even after installing the proprietary Fglrx driver and rebooting, the Graphics section of of the system details panel...

It's been my experience that the recent updates of Firefox have seemed more sluggish, even after removing all add-ons. In fact, that's what prompted me to start using Chromium in the first place. I...

I personally would love to see Chromium added as the default for Ubuntu - I was one of FF's biggest fans, and it will always have a special spot in my heart (and my hard drive ;),) but the fact is,...

Aha. Thanks.

Everything's working now. :popcorn:
