    [SOLVED] Re: How to control Shotwell's starting

    Shotwell seems to muscle in even when I select "open folder" from System Settings -> Details -> Removable Media. I find this most annoying. Only "ask what to do" seems to stop this unwelcome...

    Re: Why Unity, Cinnamon is much better

    I have forced myself to live with Unity for 6 months. I tried to like the confusion between workspaces and desktops, the lack of right click features to configure the desktop, the requirement to know...

    [ubuntu] when to check disks

    It is quite frustrating to wait on boot for the discs to be checked. Why can't this be done as the machine shuts down instead? It could then switch off after it has completed the checks.

    I would...
  9. [ubuntu] Re: [SOLVED] how to save screenlets for startup?

    On upgrade to Ubuntu 11 my clock screenlet ceased to start when I logged in. I could get it to work from the Screenlet daemon icon on the top task bar.

    I found that the path was wrong in the...
  10. [ubuntu] Re: Mouse gestures with Unity Workspace Switcher

    I agree about the paucity of ways to invoke the workspace switcher. I think this perhaps follows from the heritage of Unity being for small machines. My desktop machine is as untidy/rich as my study...

    [ubuntu] Re: Ubuntu 10.04 Network Connections Bug Maybe?

    There seems to be inconsistency between the system/preferences/"network connections" tool and what is in the /etc/network/interfaces file. Until recently my /etc/network/interfaces file only had the...

    Norton Ghost is a backup program capable of mirroring Windows systems across ftp. I do not think there is a Linux version. If there were a Linux version then it might conceivably provide one of the...

    [all variants] how do I set up a portable server

    Due to hardware failure I have had to set up a server several times. Each time it takes more than a day to set it up from scratch and import the databases etc. I would like a solution that separates...
  15. [ubuntu] Re: Native Display resolution not detected with DVI cable

    I have at last got DVI working from my Nvidia Geforce 8400 under Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit. It involved getting the EDID data while using the analog connector which allowed the card and monitor to work at...
  16. [ubuntu] Re: Native Display resolution not detected with DVI cable

    Slightly similar experience: I had a Nvidia GF 6500 working fine at 1920x1200 over DVI-D, then the DVI-D output from the card stopped working. The cable and the monitor checked out ok on other...
