The netflix-desktop app has been updated several times to include a variety of "behind the scenes" features. I don't have a lot of time to work on it, but it does integrate with pipelight and use...

Awesome, thanks so much!

I have a bluetooth mouse for my System76 laptop now, so I'd like to have the machine automatically enable bluetooth on startup/resume from suspend. Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks!

If you update the netflix-desktop package to the latest version (0.7.0) and wipe the profile folder (rm -Rf ~/.wine-browser) then when you relaunch netflix-desktop it should automatically create a...

You can use both on Ubuntu now:

Please try running the following command:

dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
If it does not output "i386" then that means that Multi-Arch support is disabled. You can enable Multi-Arch by:

That's as much a function of the graphics card as anything else. Wine has a lot of trouble with AMD graphics cards in some games. I run Diablo III just great on my gazp6, but that doesn't mean...

Do you know if these new laptops can play Diablo III decently under Wine? If they're able to do that then my friend would probably be ok with it. I'm not sure if he wants this one for himself or...

I assume you guys looked into providing Bumblebee with nVidia boxes and decided that wouldn't work. I'm really glad I got my laptop when I did, thinking about what it used to be like using an ATI...

Is there any chance this will be resolved in the near future? One of my friends is planning on getting a new laptop and there's no way he'll get one without a good graphics card.

Are you using 32-bit or 64-bit? I haven't had any problems with the desktop player in some time, but I can possibly help you investigate the problem.

I originally bought a System76 laptop at the end of 2007 and it's getting to where it's on its last legs. I'm pretty sure that a significant factor in that is that I've been putting it in a backpack...

Try changing the default ALSA audio device.

I haven't visited the forum in a while and I decided to pop on by. Hopefully, this visit will be helpful for tracking down your problem as I have a SERP3 where suspend works on 10.04. It appears...

"~/" means "the home folder" (/home/<username>). Also, any files that start with a period are hidden. So if you open a text editor (such as "gedit": Accessories | gedit Text Editor) and then try to...

No problem, glad it worked.

I'm going to guess that you're running 64-bit Ubuntu and a 32-bit flashplayer, try changing the flash_location to:
/var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so

Well, I have no idea why - but starting with a fresh registry fixed it. I did all sorts of things (like import a fresh registry on top of my existing one) and the only thing that worked was to...

Hmmm, what settings do you have under DirectSound on the audio tab? This is really bizarre, because absolutely everything else I run under Wine the sound works great.

I don't have any sound when I try the game, how is your sound setup?

Did you ever figure out a way to change this behavior?

I have a smaller screen resolution, I set it to the darkest setting, I reduce the transmit power on my wireless, and I set the cpufreq to reduce power as much as possible.

HA-HA! That's it, please run "sudo fdisk /dev/sda" and type "p" (enter) to list partitions (it should show the same list). Now repeat the following for each parition:
1) Type "t" (command to...

GRUB problems are fixable, personally I recommend using google until you get the commands correct and get it going.

Things I've remembered doing in the past:
1) Using "find /boot/grub/stage1" to...

Your partition layout has not changed but if you're trying to instruct GRUB to use (hd0,0) as the location for the configuration files then it will fail. NTFS and Swap partitions cannot contain the...
