I use multiple desktops (in openbox), and have a working basic conky running. Does anyone know how to start conky so that it appears only on the first desktop? I have been searching the net for two...
I could be very wrong, but from your post I gather you are trying to run a windows game. If that is correct, you can try to run it in wine, available in system>administration>synaptic package...
I had a similar situation with a different graphics card. In my case, I needed to get to the shutdown messages (I think cntl-alt-del worked, or by running sudo shutdown -h now in a terminal). The...
Ditto, here. Empathy did work after the initial install, but adding Pidgin 2.7 caused everything to break (except for the messenger app in yahoo mail).
Purged Pidgin; purged Empathy; reinstalled...
apdc: It could be that you need to install a small program named "dpkg" You can get this in the repositories using synaptic (hit search, enter dpkg in the search box, then choose search the name...
Another good (and relatively painless) choice is to install tilda. It is in the repos, and you can simply search for that name in synaptic. Or, you can run
sudo apt-get install tilda
It has...
First, let me say this looks like a great piece of work. Add me as a +1 on that score.
However, I have a few (embarrassing) questions concerning the meaning/use of some gui options.
My...
Thanks, foadumf. For the benefit of others, this does not seem to be an Ubuntu problem. All distributions are suffering from the same "broken after upgrade" problem.
I'd suggest to the mods that...
I am at a disadvantage because I had skipped Gutsy. I do, however, have the same network card, and in Feisty it used the same iwl3945 driver. I experienced no card/driver related problems.
It...
A "slow" internet connection may, in fact, be an ipv6 issue. The "fix" is simple:
gksu gedit /etc/hosts
after you enter your password, the file will appear in your text editor. Now comment...
I guess misery does love company. I feel much better after having read this thread.
This kernel update borked my install, too, and in strange and mysterious ways: nautilus hung on "creating...
I just ran into this after doing an update to Hardy (64 bit). No desktop icons, no ability to right-click, etc. Renaming the .gnome2 folder did the trick.
Strange thing is, none of the...
Make sure FF us updated (assuming you are using Hardy with FF3). Next, you can disable (file) indexing --
System > Preferences >Control Center - - it is at the bottom under "Other." That might...
I don't know of any way that you can "downgrade" in a way similar to an upgrade. That leaves you with onely one option: start the Feisty CD and install a fresh copy.
BTW, I had some problems...
w4ngsta07:
you need to make a script executable before you can run it.
The easiest way is right-click the file, open the permissions tab, and and down at the bottom check the box that says...
Stream:
Interesting, indeed. More interesting is that fooling around trying to cix it, I installed some things that had configuration conflicts, making it worse. The idle core tem was over 70 C...
Intel Core2Duo in a Lenovo laptop also runs full tilt with no apps running (both cores). The CPU scaling monitor reports "frequency scaling not supported." Strange, as it worked perfectly in Feisty
You can also install FF2, and use that when you can't afford to deal with whatever problems FF3 is giving you. Keeping FF3 on the system will allow for automatic update notices that may cure your...

My laptop has a working dual boot setup with XP and Feisty. I am looking to change that to a dual boot with Hardy (replacing XP) and my working Feisty setup. Feisty has separate root and home...
I second the OP's request for information. I've seen some really entertaining videos showing effects with compiz, plus a ton of screenshots, but nowhere is there enough information to reproduce...
Perhaps a bit of personal experience will help you judge:
I've had at least one active linux installation running for the past ten years (in addition to all those MS releases). On the linux side...
OK, here's the short story. Keeping your data (and /home) on separate partitions keeps those files safe in cases of reinstall and upgrade. So, it does make sense. But I agree, if the drive fails...
Thanks UB. I was concerned more with oossible boot problems -- remnants of windows in the MBR, for example.
Most of the posts on dual booting involve getting ubuntu and windows playing nicely,...
