I'm trying to connect to my Ubuntu 16.04.1 box to check on a(n unfortunately) GUI-only application and am thus far unable to enable any kind of remote graphical interface.

I am consistently able...

I recently installed the nvidia-current package on my HTPC running an ASUS motherboard with onboard GeForce 8300GS chipset and noticed two things:
1. The installed version was Nvidia-304, fairly old...

I'm having difficulty setting the group association of a number of files (including my ~/) away from celticwhisper:libvirtd after a botched attempt to set up KVM/virt-manager. It seems that every...

I have installed a CMI8738 sound card (this exact model) and am unable to hear any sound over the S/PDIF output. Alsamixer shows that it's disabled. I was able to get sound via my motherboard's...

Hi,

I have been using Ubuntu for a long time but haven't used it as a serious virtualization host until now. I switched my main desktop away from Windows and am trying to get some kind of...

I'm having trouble with a Canon Pixma MX870 on 14.04 64-bit. It was working up until today, when attempting to scan results in a "Scanner is warming up, do not open the document cover" notice...

That is good news indeed.

Question: How do I go about replacing what I have on here already with the official v13 without hosing my library and settings? I'm happy to post any apt output you need...

Good to know. Thank you again. I'll see what they say on the XBMC forum, but I might be stuck with this.

That said, have you noticed any of the problems I read about with performance or...

Posted on XBMC forums.

One minor point of clarification - I'm not convinced it's a team-xbmc PPA issue. I installed XBMC via
sudo apt-get install xbmc before ever adding the PPA and I got "XBMC...

Fair enough, I'll ask on the xbmc forums.

Thanks for the quick response.

and saw the bit about the incompatible fglrx driver. The user said they removed fglrx (which I did with...

Turns out my remote-desktop vino-server question was premature. I just got home and tried booting into my newly-upgraded 14.04 environment to be "greeted" with a blank black screen. This is after...

I just upgraded to 14.04 last night and while I can SSH into my system, it seems my desktop sharing (vino?) configuration was reset and the host is not responding to VNC connections.

I found this...

I just updated my HTPC to 13.04 from 10.04 and while almost all is well, I'm seeing a new problem (?) that wasn't there before. I have a 3TB drive in a Mediasonic HF2-SU3S2 eSATA/USB3 enclosure...

I'm having problems scanning even over USB, running Lucid amd64. I run scangearmp (with and without root privileges, makes no difference) and while it seems to recognize that a scanner or scanner...

Seconded. I'm seeking something similar for my graphic-designer girlfriend whose printer doesn't play nice with Ubuntu.

Okay, tried that but no dice. I noticed the instructions regarding what to do if the plugin works in Firefox 3.0.x and not in 3.5.x, but the problem here is that it is not working in Firefox 3.0.14....
