I’m not aware of any particular problem with formatting larger drives, as long as they are under the 2TB limitation of FAT32. Do you mean to say you have used Ubuntu’s standard formatting utility...
I tried different kernels, to no avail. Sometimes it made it impossible to get X running at all. Perhaps on those occasions reinstalling the Nvidia drivers would have helped.
I use both GNOME...
I recently did an update, which included a kernel update, and now Ubuntu will not start up cleanly. I get the ‘low-graphics mode’ warning. I find that if I choose to fall back to a terminal, the...
Yes, it presumably is a problem with downloading via https.
Using SSH, I made my girlfriend’s machine download an XPI file for me, transferred it to my own machine, and installed it. No problem....
Are you using the 64-bit edition of Ubuntu too?
I’ve also tried disabling even those extensions that are installed system-wide via .deb packages. Still doesn’t work.
My girlfriend’s 32-bit machine can update/install extensions just fine.
As I understand it, the OP created a new profile. But I’ve already said that I created a whole new system account, and then ran Firefox. This necessarily creates a new Firefox profile.
Just to...
I created a fresh account:
sudo adduser test
ssh -Y test@localhost
firefox
I still couldn’t add extensions.
I’ve filed a bug:
He didn’t ask about case-sensitivity at the system level. He asked whether Nautilus was capable of ignoring case.
Runbei, I've just looked at my own files in Nautilus, and case is ignored. I am...
A couple of days ago, I did two things: I upgraded to Karmic, and I reorganised my home folder into a new encrypted drive.
One of these things has made it impossible to update or install...
It doesn’t have to be, but the question is whether it does. Do you have the knowledge that Thunderbird/Enigmail in particular makes sure it rights no temporary file?
I made reference to...
Well, maybe. It depends. Do such programs save temporary files only in the user’s directory? What about /tmp/? Or somewhere else within the system?
What if I don’t want to slow down my account...
Recently I’ve been reading about encryption and it’s all fascinating stuff. I’ve read stuff that says that it’s no good encrypting things unless you make sure you shred the decrypted versions.

I believe that this fix is probably out of date by now. Advances in the Linux kernel probably make it unnecessary.
Type ‘uname -a’ on the command line. What is the output?
Hi,
I’m looking for some basic hints to get started with writing some sort of script that will do what I myself can do with my mouse, my keyboard and my web browser, but automatically.
For...
I may be getting the wrong end of the stick here, but I think that this (entered on the command line) might fix it:
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 40976EAF437D05B5
Aha. I've found the problem. It's a non-standard use of a drop-down list.
It used to be that Kdenlive didn't work for me at all. Today, I downloaded it again and gave it another chance. The GUI seems to have been improved a bit since I last saw it. I found it not too...
I've found that if you set the project directory as ~/mystuff/mybooklet, then PNMs will be dumped into that directory, but the PDF will be in ~/mystuff.
I logged into my account on my computer this morning, and my Sticky Notes had disappeared! Or more accurately, the notes are there on my desktop, but wiped blank.
There was important info there!...
The thing is, italics and bold are features of the Roman alphabet, not Han characters. It is right that these fonts don't bother with them.
Either use fake bold and slanted characters, or abstain...
I too have this problem. I have installed Flash 10 on my Kubuntu Intrepid 64-bit machine, and it works fine in Firefox, but there is only a placeholder in Konqueror. I would really like to be able...
Don't be such a killjoy.
In the end, I decided to buy a new, 500GB drive.
I connected it, and started to rearrange my data. I inserted the XP installation CD again in order to complete the installation. This time, I was...
OK, thanks for the tip to use testdisk. I've recorded a log; here it is attached.
I think I'll go out and buy a new hard drive so I can back stuff up before I make any more repair attempts.
