1- On Ubuntu 13.10, I decided to set up Gnome 3 to test the 3.10 components. So, I added the official ppa by

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get...

I guess it's a bug, that I have to report. Will do soon.


There's no alternate setup basically now; it's all in the Live CD. It's pretty simple to upgrade using a Live CD, but an Internet...

I have a Lenovo S10-3t with Ubuntu 12.10 installed. Knowing that I have limited Internet access where the machine is (and will be), my 13.04 upgrade ways seem to be as limited. Here's the issue I...

You can use a simple GUI for that; NTFS Configuration Tool

sudo apt-get install ntfs-config

Then launch it from your dash menu or from Terminal

gksudo ntfs-config

Grub Customizer is good gui tool to configure grub including changing the background with few clicks.
Unfortunately, it's not available using the official repositories provided by Ubuntu. So, you'll...

ha ha it always happens indeed; great that u can now hear your "muted" videos on Youtube =)

- These messages are not of any significance.
- What's important here is that "ALSA-Plugin" appearing in sound preferences means that Flash plugin is using PulseAudio and it's configured properly....

mm..OK let's make sure that the problem is as I diagnosed.
1- Play any Youtube video and check if ALSA plug-in appears in the "Sound Preferences" Application's tab
System>>Preferences>>Sound then...

So, it will be...

I have actually purged 0.9.4 and compiled 0.8.8 instead. Now, DockBarX is working pretty much as intended and I have to be honest, the overall Compiz performance has improved a lot.

I have just upgraded from Maverick to Natty. After the upgrade I updated my PPA's to the Natty ones. DockBarX was one of these applications updated but after it has been updated the window previews...

Dockbarx is really helpful to get the same Windows7 previews and also those "Jump lists"

check the installation instructions Andrew, of Webupd8, made here.

So, the problem was that ur system was starting only in the low graphics mode.


And after the update u can actually reach the login window, but when u enter ur password it reappears again.

The repositories seem extra fine. That's y I suggest we turn to the starting point;


- What kind of update? u mean upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10? or just installed the updates offered in 10.04?

I would definitely like someone to help me, if I were in ur place. =)


Of course if u mess around usually with adding PPAs to ur repositories, there's a high probability that u have lots of PPAs...

Do u have any Xorg PPAs enabled?
