I recently installed 'stl-thumb' as a thumbnailer plugin to the file managers, but I notice that it isn't converting all files with the .stl extension. Upon closer inspection using the shell 'file...

I'm trying to figure out how to configure a SIM7000a model for a wwan connection. I activated an AT&T prepaid card and they say the apn should be set to 'phone'. I have verified with AT commands that...

I have been playing Minecraft on my HP Pavillion for over 2 years and suddenly the other day it started crashing. When I went through the logs, I found an error that when I search it on google is...

lol, and vino is broken in 18.04 (no vino-preferences to be found anywhere! Yay!!!!)

I was able to manually disable it via dconf-editor and it's default configuration is installed as a user based...

same session as console? From the login prompt? Or do you have to log in first before it's enabled/listening?

Are there any other vnc servers besides x11vnc that will allow ubuntu to use VNC to the system without creating a new session / using the existing console view? Raspberry pi's can do it with jessie...

as an aside, I got the program to work in a windows 7 virtual box with access to /dev/ttyUSB0 as com1. but I would still be curious about any suggestions for using wine.

I was able to learn from...

I'm trying to run a small development app for a rather specific voice-recognition embedded device (Veeer EasyVR) and it has a helper program to help you program the chip on the device. When run in...

I'm running into similar problems and it seems that the new gdm3 may create a new display when a user logs in. I'm still digging into how one might access that or if there's a recommended way to...

I recently upgraded to 15.04 then re-installed cinnamon from the default repository. Now whenever I place a file of any kind in the ~/Desktop folder, the icon appears twice. One of the icons is...

I'm having nightmares with various systems connecting via ssh. The systems are behind a router and each has a block of ports forwarded to each. e.g. the machine on 192.168.x.22 has 22000-22999 and so...

I am running into this now also after upgrading to 13. Where is the setting for the lock screen clock so I can switch it to AM/PM also?

FYI: for the record, my old lock screen did not have a clock...

I ran into this also using cinnamon as my desktop. I dinkered around quite a bit and installed a number of other window managers to try assuming cinnamon itself was broke. This ultimately ended up...

Same question - where is it now? It appears to have moved again. no rhythmbox (or anything else starting with an 'r') anywhere in ~/.local/share on my box

for the record, I managed to come up with a short term fix. I was launching wine from the cinnamon launcher for a given app. (I get the error spam on any wine program I've tried yet)

So I took the...

Whenever I run anything in wine, I get the following error spam continues the entire time the program is running until it fills up the hard drive and the .xsessions-errors becomes absolutely HUGE!

I have an ubuntu 12.10 install and I wanted to try using the cinnamon desktop on it, so i installed v1.6.7

It works fine with two monitors but only shows a panel on the primary monitor. I checked...

Ummmm ok, so how do you set it up in xbmc? I start mine up and it stretches the xmbc screen across half of both monitors and runs slower than crap because of the crossover. Mouse navigation is almost...

I used to use an xdmcp login on my old ubuntu and just installed ubuntu 11.10 on one of my laptops to learn it doesn't use gdm anymore, but uses lightdm. I can't seem to get xdmcp to connect now and...

as I understand it, tun is in the kernel

I've been arriving at a similar conclusion after similar searching. I picked up a SB 16 PCI the other day and although I can see the midi port and can seem to send data to it with aconnect, no sound...
