Re: Ubuntu with Gnome Shell: How do I change the font size in top panel

That is what I described. What I described works in GNOME Shell, and I know that because I...

It's probably worth noting that you are wrong.

Go to "System Settings" "Sound" "Sound Effects" and switch off;

It's a speed dial feature. Contains the last nine websites you looked at. You can remove it by doing this;

Doesn't work for me either. I get errors regardless of what I do. Very odd because the first patch published worked fine, but after the last nautilus update I could not get it to work again, and this...

This will change the nautilus background colour, I have used a medium grey here;

Thanks a lot. System is ext4. Gparted does not fix the problem. When using clonezilla to run an image it finds and repairs the three blocks while copying the image. I suppose I could just move the...

I have three corrupt blocks in my file system. This is causing various problems. I could reinstall but I would like to try and repair the faults.

There are three possibilities.;

One, you may have an icon on your screen which will allow you to start the installation;

Calling things "crap" because you do not get on with them is not sensible. While there are doubtless plenty of people who prefer Ubuntu or some other flavour of Linux to Windows, the sensible ones...

If you want to be certain then order a computer with Ubuntu installed on it. That way if anything doesn't work you can just get it replaced. There is no way to tell absolutely whether an unknown...

Just by the way, what annoyed me most about the whole business is not that it didn't work, that can happen with all sorts of things, just how it is, but the fact that loads of people keep telling you...

Sorry, I don't know. If you can get them to work with Unity they might be more stable, but the only way I could get my setup to run reasonably at all was to remove Unity. It just crashed all the...

It's a workaround, but useful for emergencies, and you might find yourself using it a lot! :)

The login options are "GNOME Classic" and "GNOME Classic (No effects)"

You can move the panels anywhere you like.

This should help you out;

It occurred to me that you might not know how to use Grsync.

Do you have data on the disk you need to keep?

The main thing is to get it up and running smoothly. I still think you would have been better off using the Ubuntu default install options. When they work, which is the majority of the time as only...

Same thing here, ( But with ATI Radeon cards) when i switched to GNOME Classic it stopped. I prefer the classic interface anyway. The generic drivers work for me. The proprietary drivers don't. I...
