Not a dual boot. Only OS installed is Ubuntu 9.10. Also, I tried changing display dimensions, no luck. I don't believe it to be a graphics problem since I can't even run Nautilus to browse files.
I had a bad Nautilus problem come up on my laptop today. All of my desktop icons are gone, although the files are still there when I look from the command line. When I try to go to "Places ->...

Ubuntu is reporting that my drive is failing, but I'm suspicious it's a program bug. The tool is reporting that my drive is 18.6 years old. So, either my drive is reporting false information, or...
Does anyone know of any plans to change this back to the original "FAST" user switcher? This is killing me. Doesn't anyone else have a problem with this?
The new 9.10 release messed up the user switcher applet. My wife and I switch sessions quickly through the switcher applet, but now her name is not listed when we try to switch. We have to click on...
OK, the problem has been solved. My hard drive was going bad and was having read errors. It just so happened that the corrupted portions of the HD were affecting gconf. When I tried reinstalling...

I've been using Ubuntu for about 1.5 years now, and I really like it. I believe the two major areas of limitation are:

No, didn't work. Thanks for the suggestion though.
I just updated Java through the update manager, only to find that it broke my MATLAB GUI. Now, when I try to start matlab, the Matlab splash screen appears, then disappears, and matlab falls back to...

Does anyone know why I have to restart X (CTRL+ALT+BKSP) to get a projector to work with Ubuntu? I have to plug in the projector, then restart X, then re-login, then restart my presentation. I was...
When I plug a USB drive into my machine, it tries to mount it, but fails because I at one time changed the mount point to something like "Doughy's". I think the apostrophe is screwing it up.

I fixed the problem. I used the synaptic package manager to uninstall the totem-xine package and replaced it by installing totem-gstreamer.
I guess xine and gstreamer are two backend packages for...
When I try to play AVI videos using the Totem movie player, the sound quality is really fuzzy and cuts in and out. I tried opening the same files with MPlayer and the sound is good.
Does anyone...
