I've got a new Galaxy Nexus (ordered it from the UK unlocked for the T-Mobile network) and I'm liking it a lot so far. (I'm upgrading from a Nokia N900 with a broken USB port so I'm pretty happy...

Hi all, I get a useless corrupted pink/purple screen on my Dell Inspiron E1505 when I try to boot up the Ubuntu i386 10.10 desktop Live CD. It happens right after the little keyboard and human icon....

I did a few tweaks to my Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000 settings and thought I would share them. These tips would probably be helpful to anyone with a driver that uses the pwc module (Phillips Web Cams)....

That microsoft download worked for me too. I just downloaded it and ran it with "$ wine vcredist_x86.exe" and I was able to log into WoW without problem. Thanks community for this very quick fix!

I have the same problem of the sound in other programs not working while Skype is running. It it also the case that if other programs are making sound, Skype will not work. I don't have the option of...

Hi folks, I was wondering if there was a nice mencoder command to cut a small clip out of an HDTV recording. The recording was made on MythTV and is just the raw stream off the antenna recorded with...

Haha, Octave is fine, I just did something hilariously stupid. I named my script plot.m. I guess that will teach me.

Hi all, I just installed the octave3.0 package on my fresh 8.04.1 installation and it is pretty bugged. I put in a simple script and it executed it in a continuous loop for no apparent reason.

Thanks for responding. If you mean "System>>Administration>>Restricted Drivers Manager", yes it is. I'm using 7.04, maybe there is an option now for "Hardware Drivers" instead? It was enabled before...

Hi all, I've had a pre-installled Ubuntu Dell Inspiron laptop for a little over a year. The wireless worked fine until recently, but now my wireless card does not show up under the "Connections" tab...

Okay, I actually fixed it. My problem was that the mic recording was muted, and it was the input called "front mic" not "mic." I was able to add the recording channels to the volume control by double...

I have the same chipset and have had no luck getting the mic to work with skype. The mic is working to where I can actually hear what the mic records on the speakers, but the skype test call does not...

I had this problem too and was able to fix it with the iwconfig command. Okay, now here's a question: why does this bug exist? Why is the default setting 1M?

I just recently upgraded my computer with a wireless adapter card from 7.04 to 8.04, and now have a serious network throughput problem. Okay, here is my setup, bear with me:

3 computers, 1...

Sure, the window comes up, but all the buttons are greyed out for me. This seems like it is because this new "unlock" feature to get sudo privileges wasn't incorporated into 'shares-admin' so it just...

How do you adjust permissions?

Does the partition that WoW is on use an NTFS filesystem?

When you tried to umount did it say that the device is busy?

If you have room, you might try to just copy all of the contents of the CDs onto your hard drive and install from the drive. I haven't...

Take a deep breath. We are here to help.

In regards to points 1 and 2:

The Wine program uses a fake windows drive to install and run programs that are installed using Wine. This fake drive...

Thanks for the info about the ActiveX stuff. I've changed the top post to reflect this. I added a line to run the 'wine' command without an argument after installing so that ~/.wine...

I checked the packages I have installed, and I have libgl1-mesa-dev 6.3.2-0ubuntu6breezy1 rather than the other one, so you might try manually installing this particular package. You...

I don't know much about Automatix, but I suspect it installs the binary package for wine. This method is specifically a patched source method of installing wine.

Ahh! Sorry for the build-dep typo, dep is short for dependency. That step is "experimental", I thought it might be a quick way to install all the packages wine needs to be compiled. Another way is to...

I would get the newest source if I were you. Here is a direct link:

Extract this using the command:
