Logout failure in 12.04 with Unity (and any other DE)
When I log out from the menu, nothing (on-screen at least) happens and I have to either shut down the computer or restart it. I have the latest updates and am on a 64-bit Ubuntu with Kernel 3.2.0-25...
Delete "gfxmode $set_linux_gfx_mode" in GRUB2 Config file
Hey all,
Due to a problem with the Gallium3D drivers and my Radeon card, I have to remove the line "gfxmode $set_linux_gfx_mode" manually every time I boot, via the editor in GRUB. Is there some way...

Messed up .Xauthority
Hello,
I messed up my~/. Xauthority file yesterday when I couldn’t log in. I removed it using sudo rm –rf since it was owned by root (and hence I couldn’t log in). Now, I log in and I can’t mount my...
LightDM corrupt without fglrx

I'm running an 11.10 system, and for some reason, LightDM always covers my screen with purple blocks without FGLRX installed. There's no problem with starting X, only LightDM. I have...

Radeon HD 6950 or GTX 570?
Which card works better on Natty (with Unity), the HD 6950 or the GTX 570? Thanks in advance!

Purging/completely removing didn't work either,...
I've done that also. It's gotten to the point where I even dove into gconf and manually edited registry keys, but to no avail. The only way to make Chromium the default browser on my system is to...
It's already unchecked.
Bump!
Hello all,
After recently upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04, I noticed that I cannot set Chromium as the default browser without removing Firefox first. Also, I noticed the option of using a custom program...
Any ideas, suggestions, or help?? Do I need to chroot? If so, How?
