With gnome shell 3.10, background apps such as conky and screenlets now show as icons on the dash. Possible to prevent that?

Seems to work with.....gnome-tweak-tool-->Desktop-->Have file manager handle the desktop-->off. There are consequences, such as no context menu on the desktop and probably others. As a side note,...

gksu gedit /etc/ati/signature

copy signature code to that file, save and restart session.

...or downgrade to nautilus 3.4.2 and lock it.

By removing execute permissions from individual files in the /etc/grub.d/ folder disables them. As I use only a custom grub2 and theme, I always remove the permissions from 30_os-prober (and memtest...

The terminal command line is fine, but synaptic is also a superior program to USC ('sudo apt-get install synaptic') with search functions.

I am not adverse to change but the only real problem I have with the main page is that there is not enough contrast between the title of the thread and the background. I find it easier to focus on...

Anybody got 12.12 working with the 3.8 kernel?

So far, the 12.9 AMD propriety driver works fine for me in precise but not in quantal. The open source one leaves a lot to be desired. I will wait until AMD 12.10 comes out supposedly with support...

I would like to unzip the latest catalyst 12.5 driver (105 mb), but it complains of a bad CRC and incorrect check sum. Downloaded many times to rule out a bad download. Any solutions?

Is there a way to prevent tips from showing on mouseover? It is extremely annoying and distracting in the Ubuntu forums. In firefox, it was simple enough to toggle browser tips off in about:config.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/atareao
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install touchpad-indicator

Sudo apt-get install numlockx.

Edit: Sorry, tried it and it doesn't work either.

Aye...I agree, it is annoying. Sometimes I get them up multiple times one after another. I've reinstalled 12.04 many times with new home folders, but they keep returning. Through stubborness (and...

I use the M510 on my laptop with a combination of 'xbindkeys' and 'xautomation'...both installable from synaptic or terminal.
I use a custom file in my home profile (.xbindkeysrc) that uses a...

This was recommended to me and it works great on 11.10 with my Upek reader...now trying to get working on 12.04.

I use the disk creator fairly often for testing purposes. One annoyance on Oneiric (not Maverick) is that the menu starts up with the boxes partially hidden. Is there a resize config to make a custom...

What does 'gksu gedit /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf' indicate as your background? I usually change it there.

Have you tried with Oneiric Ocelot? If you're trying to install ubuntu previous to Oneiric with an ATI/AMD - specs below - and it fails, then you're in my group. Same symptoms...login sound, blank...

Obviously that UUID doesn't relate to anything. You could try refreshing/updating your grub menu.

'sudo update-grub2'

Tons of information....google 'gparted live'. Even videos:

As you might know, you can't partition a drive within the partition (has to be unmounted)...

Well, I see that there is a gedit-2 file under ~/.gconf/apps. Create a link to that and replace the one in the root folder. Also one under ~/.conf/gedit too, if necessary.

If I understand correctly, the location of your Desktop is defined by the ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs file.

As a test, what happens when you 'gksu gedit /usr/bin/gnome-tweak-tool' and comment (#) the lines 'import gi' and 'gi.require_version("Gtk", "3.0")'? Save and try gnome-tweak-tool. Reverse changes...

First, I'll assume that you tried re-installing gnome-tweak-tool.

Try typing 'python' (without quotes) in a terminal to bring up the command interpreter. At the command line type 'import gi' and...
