I know this thread is almost 3 years old. But, I used Vcoolio's suggestion. I edited (with gedit) the file /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow.
The old line:
Exec=/usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play...
Well, I got it to work, but I'm not sure if it was the easiest way.
First, I installed smbmount.
sudo apt-get install smbmount
Then I realized that the actual folder that the music is located in...
Hello all.
This may not be a Banshee problem, but I'll ask it anyway.
My music is stored on a NAS on my home network.
I am trying to get Banshee to see my MP3's on the NAS. It looks like Banshee...
I thought it was working. But after further testing, the bridge of 3G USB modem <-> WLAN0 does not work. :icon_frown:
Here is the list of equipment:
Laptop running Lucid Lynx 10.04.
Vodafone 3G...
Eric,
You are a Godsend! I sent you a private email on your website.
Your instructions and examples worked great on a Hauwei (through Vodafone) K3765 plugged in to a laptop running Ubuntu 10.04...
I just wanted to say that this worked for me. :D
I did everything down to the 'dip' portion because I don't understand what "dip" means.
I also do not have a username and password. I only have a...
Thanks. Sometimes it's the obvious answer I miss.
Thanks again.

Hello all.
I don't know how to do what I want to do, so I thought I'd ask here.
I want to set up Ubuntu to automatically record from the Line In jack at some time. Say 10 AM.
I looked in the man...
I fixed my problem. I don't know why it worked, but it did.
I went to System | Administration | Software Sources | Third Party Software. I selected the first entry and hit Remove.
The software...
All,
I'm trying to install libc6-dev with the 64 bit version of Hardy (8.04.4).
I have the Hardy burned on a CD-RW and the CD is in the drive.
When I type sudo apt-get install libc6-dev I get the...
All,
Normally, I'd say this is a Firefox problem, but I've never had this problem until I "upgraded" to Karmic. I'm using the 32 bit version.
Yahoo's webpage doesn't display correctly. It can...
...actually, not my mouse. I lost my touchpad.
I installed the 64 bit version of Karmic on my Gateway MX6421 laptop. My touchpad does not work.
I went to Package Manager and reinstalled the...
I just wanted to add a couple of things:
1: I'm running the 64 bit version of 9.04 (Jaunty).
2: In this version, when pppoeconf is run and configured, you will loose the wireless status...
I found the answer to my question. I happened to stumble across a couple man pages that steered me in the right direction.
To configure PPPoE over the wireless adapter, open Terminal.
At the...
Hello all.
I am running the 64 bit version of Ubuntu on a Gateway MX6421 laptop. I'd tell you the exact version of Ubuntu I'm running, but I had to boot to WIndows in order to get to the Internet....
dmizer,
Thank you for the reply. I followed the instructions and it still did not work. :(
I did, however, find the problem. It was here:
# It is recommended that you define on your system a...
Joeb,
Steveneddy must work for Microsoft. :wink:
And thanks for the [code] [\code] tip. I made another post in another part of the forum where I probably should have used that.
Thanks,

All,
Is there a boot option to watch the drivers load instead of seeing the "Ubuntu" splash screen when the computer boots up?
Thanks,

All,
A couple of months ago, I upgraded to 8.04 LTS. When I installed vsftpd, I told it to overwrite my vsftpd.conf file.
I couldn't get the server back up, but I didn't need it then. I need it...
All,
I just thought I'd give an update.
In my ealier post I said that all of the /home folders under /mnt/oldhd/ was gone.
The reason: I had a drive failure. The hard drive died.
Not being...
One thing I forgot to ask in my previous post:
What is "polkituser" and why does it have a group id?
I found some info concerning "polkit" ("policy kit"), but nothing about "polkituser".
I...
In reading over the responses, I guess my system was not hacked in to.
As puptentacle (and others) pointed out, it does seem odd that someone would copy a folder to another drive, then delete the...
All,
My Linux box was hacked in to on 9 May. The hacker (or bot-who knows) used ssh, and somehow got root access. From there, he or she deleted /home.
Fortunatly, I don't have many users that log...
All,
This did not work for me.
I am running Gutsy on a Gateway MX6421 laptop with a Broadcom 4318. I originally attempted to get wireless working on Fiesty. It didn't work. Wireless wasn't a...
