OK, thanks.
I have been using the same Conkys for some time now with no problem. This past week the weather section no longer displays. When I run it from the command line, it throws up the following errors.

Thank you! Worked like a charm.
I'm having a problem with one of the lua scripts in the v9000 group. When it displays the current temp and WC-HI, (the two larger numbers displayed) the top of the font is chopped off. I tried...
I think you are right, I got the partitions switched. I remember I did a reinstall because Ubuntu would no longer get me to the desktop (turned out to be caused by a flaky DVD drive). Then I got the...
What 6 GB are you referring to?

Part of what's stored in root, I found, is a mirrored copy of what's in /home! I don't know how that happened. When I delete a file or folder from one, the other file/folder gets deleted as well. I...
I don't understand.
Holy crap! I've got a ton of files in there and I don't know why! It looks like some of them are duplicates of files and folders from my /home partition. Can you tell me what files and folders should...
No, not running a server, just made a mistake when setting up the hard drive. What size would you recommend for root?
Can I do that with gparted?
My /home partition is 84% full, so I am looking for a way to increase the size of it without wiping my drive and starting over. I have attached a screenshot of my Gparted window. I have sda7 right...
Where did you download it from? I would recommend going through the Software Center. Just search for the program, click install, then your password. Exe files are Windows files.
I had a similar problem, except I actually had two monitors hooked up to my Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS. The second monitor was being used as a tv. I couldn't get the screen to show everything. You could...
Eureka! Progress has been made!

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-* >You could also try a reboot after the ' remove --purge' to see if the default...
Thank you for taking the time to answer my post. I really appreciate it.

No, just a blank screen. The monitor's...
I had been running 11.10 for a while and decided it was time to upgrade: bad idea. I now am unable to get a graphical session. I do get the GRUB menu, which I just updated. I am able to boot to a...
I have installed conky (version 1.8.1) and I'm trying to use a config that calls draw-bg.lua. The file is nowhere to be found on my system. Can anyone tell me how to obtain that file?
I am running...
I finally figured out what it was. While in Windows, I looked at Device Manager and saw a problem with one of my two DVD drives. I recalled that I didn't see it at POST. I powered down and unplugged...
That's because the only way I could boot Linux is with the live cd. The installed kernel on my system's hard drive is 3.0.0-28 generic.
Now I am getting only a blank screen. No login prompt, not even a blinking cursor!
P.S. Okay, I ran Boot Repair again. After letting it repair, I ran Iceweasel and was able to create the Pastebin...
I don't know how to upload it when I ctrl-alt-f1 to a shell. How do I copy and paste the output without a web browser?
The default session is Cairo-Dock (Gnome & Effects). The others available are:
Cairo-Dock (Gnome no effects)
Cairo-Dock (with Unity Panel)
GNOME
GNOME Classic
GNOME Classic (No Effects)...
For a while I was getting a blank screen for some reason, even after trying a couple of the boot parameter fixes, like nomodeset. So after reading a lot of posts here I ran the Boot Repair CD and...
