Replying again - how do you mark this as 'solved'? I'm sure it used to be under "Thread Tools" but that option seems to have gone now. (Sorry to be thick.)
Oli.
OK, panic over. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade, and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade run from TTY2 has made all things happy again!
(Not quite sure what went wrong, but it's fixed now. Or...
Hello,
I think this is probably a simple problem but I don't know how to go about tackling it.
I have just installed Gnome-Ubuntu 13.4 and it worked fine. Curious as to what there is in Gnome...
Bit of an update on this. I have been playing around with the printing and suspect that the problem lies in the fact that the printing is intermittant from the machine the printer is plugged into -...
Sprog,
Many thanks for this - it has helped me enormously. I think it is the solution to an intermittant printing problem I have in 12.10.
However, the magic only lasts until the next reboot....
Hello,
I am struggling to make wireless printing work with my network and machines. The setup I have is a desktop machine with a Samsung printer attached by USB cable, and which runs cups...
Salttalk,
Did you solve this by any chance? I have exactly the same problem printing from an Ubuntu machine to another Ubuntu machine across a network.
All help welcomed - thanks.
Oli.
Hello,
I'm trying to install mint Linux across a network, to an old laptop which will boot from the network card. I have a machine running Ubuntu 12.10 to use as the server.
There are various...
tgalati4,
Thanks - that's a pretty comprehensive reply. I get the impression that you may have looked into this area yourself, perhaps?
So, I'm trying to acheve the impossible by doing it...
Hello,
I'm trying to play music on several machines simultaneously, with zero (or near-zero) latency, on a wireless network. The aim is to play music on three or four machines in different rooms...
Yougo,
Thanks - again.
Those other apps work as they should. Well, Nautlus and Image Viewer (eye of Gnome) do with menus all displayed as they should.
I see your point about the menus...
Yougo,
Thanks for your reply.
Clicking on the "Software" entry on the top panel gives a menu with the following options:
"Check for Updates"
"Software Sources"
"Refresh Package Lists"...
Hello,
I'm using 12.10 Gnome-Remix 64-bit, and the software installer doesn't appear with the menus it is meant to have. A screenshot looks like this;
...
Update on this; I still haven't understood why I was struggling with the USB boot drives; one USB wouldn't be recognised in my desktop machine by the BIOS, the other one always caused a crash when...
OK, there has been some progress with this.
Creating install USB's from Startup Disk Creator has failed every time I have tried it. I don't know why, but each time I am told that the checksums...
Hello,
I'm trying to make a startup USB stick to install 12.10 (gnome-remix) on my machines, but can't make it work. The situation is that I have two computers (AMD64-bit desktop and Intel 32-bit...
Cheesemill,
Thanks for your answer. I didn't know that wireless networks only allowed one device to send or recieve at any one time - thanks for telling me. Every day is a school day, eh?

Hello,
I've started playing with Pulseaudio, with a view to using it to play the same music from several machines simultaneously. The machines are all running 12.04 and on a home WiFi network...
OK, an update to this. Essentially, the problem is recurring; having reset unity (and seen it work fine for a couple of re-boots), it is now happening again. Running "setsid unity" re-starts unity...
Thanks zombifier.
Oli.
Zombifier,
Great! I logged out and in again, and all was well. I shutdown and re-started and all seems well with that too!
So, I think that's problem solved, many thanks for your help. Out of...
Zombifier,
Thanks. I did as you suggested, and the terminal output looks like this:
ogp@desktop:~$ unity --reset
WARNING: Unity currently default profile, so switching to metacity while...
Hello,
I'm running 12.04 with Unity on my computer. And, for some reason, Unity now doesn't start as it should when you boot the computer; the windows don't have a menu bar at the top of them...
OK, it now works. I logged out and back in again and sloppy focus is as it should be. Thanks for your help mcduck.
(Not sure why the logout-login trick made any difference; when I have previously...
