Thank you very much for this reply, xen3. It is very helpful!

I would indeed like to not depend on the device being sdb. I will follow your advice using the device ID. I do not know how to get rid...

Ubuntu (same behavior on 15.04 and 16.04) recognizes and automounts my external hard drive. It asks me for the encryption password and everything works well. But when I right-click on the icon on the...

OK thank you very much for all of this useful information.

And again, thank you in general for your presence on ubuntuforums.org. You help so many people (and also people you don't even realize...

I do run Ubuntu/unity. I want to configure from command line because I have a script that configures everything for me on a new set up. So it does sudo apt-get install [a bunch of stuff]. It changes...

I got it working thanks to you! I did not know about commands. Actually I've never used CCSM and have only implemented shortcuts in xbindkeys.

I did see an issue where it correctly activated but I...

Great, thank you for these instructions! Do you happen to know how I can enable the dbus plugin from the command line?

Thank you very much for your response mc4man. I really appreciate it. I should say that I have learned so much from your posts over the years.



What does this mean? I must be misunderstanding...

Dear All,

I would like to restore the behavior that mc4man aimed for in this thread:

That is to say, I would like to have a command that...

Did you test with the same VLC version?

Thanks, steeldriver. That does indeed solve it! (it does work on 14.04). Now this thread really is "SOLVED" :)

Any idea how to always have DISPLAY set to :0 when I ssh anywhere?

This happens to me on 13.10 also. It happens when you do it through ssh. I thought the difference was 13.10 vs 14.04 but the difference was I was doing one through ssh and the other on the comp...

gsettings set does not work for me, although gsettings get does:

I had the same problem when running on 13.10 and testing 13.10 (testing other things on a fresh install). I could never figure out what the problem was.

thanks for the replies. I guess I'll have to live with it.

I installed it an the keys are indeed being registered. Any other ideas for debugging?

Has anyone else seen this behavior?

To open a terminal I use the shortcut ctrl+alt+t. However, sometimes I have to press that combination several times for it to work. Is there a solution to this? Before, on the same hardware, I've not...

Thanks for the tips jdeca57. Do you have a recommended tar command to use? For 85 GB I suppose I should use multiple files? (the external hard drive has ext4)

I am going to do a fresh install of Ubuntu. I do not have my home folder on its own partition. I have a slow internet connection so it would take a couple of days to sync all of my 85 GB from...

Great, thanks for the info!

Thanks, isantop.

And is that because the drivers were merged into the kernel?

Right, but I'm not looking for a file differencing program. I'm looking for a program to view a .diff file.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi Amorphous Serendipity, thank you for your reply and your suggestion. I like vimdiff a lot, but for this job I'm looking for a program that can act on the diff without having the other files. I...

I often receive patches (in .diff format) with minor grammatical changes. It takes several seconds for me to see that the only difference between two lines is "if" and "it". Is there a program that...

I have the same question for a PanP6 (for 13.04 and 13.10).

For your Ratel, the following page
http://knowledge76.com/index.php/RatP1
does not have an entry for 13.04. Perhaps that means it's...

The following page does not work for me:
