Worked for me (for a different plugin)

Thanks!

The best way is to get the software from the Skype website:

But that's where the weirdness lies - the package wasn't removed during the upgrade, because I've restarted the machine a couple of times since then and it was all fine. The package disappeared at...

I upgraded to 12.10 yesterday, and everything went without a hitch.

Today I'd been using my machine for a few hours when suddenly I got a kernel panic. This was mildly surprising (haven't seen one...

Hi,

Does anyone have any experience of using the HP WebCam HD-4110 with linux? I've looked in all the usual places and haven't come up with a definitive answer.

Thanks,
Steve.

You should have a .xscreensaver file in your home directory, that lists all the screensavers that your system thinks it has. Simply delete the lines corresponding to the savers you've deleted.

You may well need to allow Flash to have access to the microphone. The Flash Settings Manager:

You can use xrandr for this. If you type xrandr on the command line, you get a list of screens:


Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3286 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192
LVDS1 connected...

A bit of Googling has found a probable answer for those. Try Method 1 on this link:

I should just use one anywhere that works to get Synaptic installed. Once you've done that, you can use it to pick a more local mirror from the list. It'll be much easier to switch mirrors that way....

Strange. It's in the universe repository, so it should be available for installation. :confused:

I don't know what to suggest, unless universe is disabled on your system.

Steve.

Ha! Chicken and egg....

OK, it can be done, but with great care. PLEASE TAKE BACKUPS FIRST!

Backup, then edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list - replace every instance of us.archive.ubuntu.com...

You can install a program called iotop (in the repositories) which is like top for disk usage - it tells you which programs are using the hard disk. That could give you some clues.

Steve.

It looks as though something's gone wrong at your chosen repository source (us.archive.ubuntu.com). You can switch to a different server using Synaptic:

Go to Settings -> Repositories. On the...

Works fine on the 4 machines I'm using.

Steve.

I use it a lot in UI and web design, to help check that things are aligned properly. It's also handy for rotating photos - to tell whether areas are truly horizontal/vertical.

The anti-virus companies tend to have good information on all the viruses they know about. McAfee's is here:

What's stopping you from changing the crontab spec for zoneedit so it doesn't run during that period?

Xorg.conf is no longer needed, but X will still read it if it's there and override its self-configuration. Simply create it and put in what you need!

Note that it's usually easier to edit a valid...

The first PID is for the process itself. The second one is the PID of the parent process, i.e. the one that started it.

So JBoss was started with PID 23440, which then started a child process...

Sounds promising. However, there doesn't appear to be a libc sources package in Precise. Or maybe I'm missing the correct repositories from my apt setup - Synaptic has a '-' instead of a tick for the...

I'm trying to do some debugging, and I appear to be missing some fundamental files:


Cannot find file '../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S'


The usual apt-file search has turned up a blank,...

I go through periods of not printing much then doing large chunks at a time. I've tried various brands in the past but always gone back to HP DeskJets. They seem mechanically rock solid and don't...

So that should mean you can edit your .xscreensaver file and adjust the command line for the relevant savers to make them use a sensible font. I haven't tried it yet to confirm though.

Steve.

I think that's a different issue - xscreensaver has always had issues with UTF8 encodings, but accented Latin characters have been fine.

The problem here is that none of the fonts that...
