In the past few weeks I've been having a great time (and becoming more fluent in Haskell) by writing (most of; I borrowed the part that reads the input from another Haskell solution) and trying to...

Looks like NIH to me. People involved with Wayland have said that Canonical's claimed reasons for not using Wayland are bogus (see https://plus.google.com/100409717163242445476/posts/jDq6BAgdpkG and...

Thanks. I don't have evolution installed, but I do have evolution-data-server and evolution-data-server-common installed. Just submitted the bug on launchpad.

glabels is a very useful program... but it seems that now that I've moved to 12.10, font selection in glabels is as slow as molasses.

glabels 3.0.0, which 12.10 comes with, has a new font...

Cinnamon looks really nice, but the window list applet seems to lack functionality one has come to expect from window lists, namely that I can't minimize/unminimize/give focus to/resize/move/close a...

I have an Epson WP-4530, and find myself having to print a photograph on it.

The printer simply will not feed photo paper through the main tray, and the epson-escpr driver doesn't let one select...

I am definitely having problems. I hate to have to admit to playing any Zynga games, but--since installing Version 20.0.1132.47 of Chrome, they almost always crash.

I think it's something about how LibreOffice renders the page on the display. I have a document that I've been editing in LibreOffice, and on the screen it looks like used cattle feed warmed over:...

I'm running 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04. After my computer has been up for a while and I connect my Logitech 350 USB headset, although the headset shows up both in lsusb output and in the Sound Settings...

Thanks! That seems to have done the trick.

Aargh. Right clicking indeed brings that up, but clicking to turn off the hardware acceleration appears to have no effect--the checkmark remains checked.

Since this past Sunday, I've noticed something strange: if I have a browser open to a Flash video, the Flash video shows through the strokes of the characters of other windows.

I have Ubuntu 11.10...

What does it mean when the GNOME font manager shows the name of a font in the list labeled "Family" but shows it overstruck and not in boldface? Looking through the font manager help doesn't turn up...

It's been some time since I actually installed Day Roman and the other Apostrophic Labs fonts, but I tried it--thanks for the suggestion (no sarcasm intended, despite the next sentence). It did have...

It's in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/apostrophic/DAYROM__.ttf; I copied it to ~/.fonts (all the references I've seen to putting fonts where an individual user can see them give that path, not ~/.font),...

There's a font I have installed, Day Roman from the Apostrophic Laboratories fonts, that I've used in the past with no trouble--but recently I wanted to use it, and found that LibreOffice does not...

I am having this problem as well. I've found one video that appears to be a sure kill: on YouTube, search for "stella splendens" and then play the Qntal video for the song. The URL, as best I can...

Thank you! It turns out that my real problem lay elsewhere; I had not installed a needed package that I can't believe I overlooked, i.e. e17 itself. In any case, I have learned more about .desktop...

More info: I notice that some of the .desktop files contain either

NoDisplay=true

or

Hidden=true

I'll see whether getting rid of NoDisplay=true makes the AfterStep option appear, but...

I switched to a ppa to get an up-to-date and complete E17 including some packages to let removable devices be detected and automounted--and after doing that, I no longer see enlightenment as a...

Thanks much--I'll check that out. Do you really think it unlikely? It's hard for me to believe that Canonical would blow off users of what as far as I can tell are the most popular graphics tablets...

Hi! Since the fix was indeed committed on November 15th, if I read...

Sad to say, looking at http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/360056 looks like the bug fix has yet to make it in.

Thanks! (And it turns out to be documented, though I wish there were a tooltip that would show up if the mouse hovers over the "+" and "-".)

Once upon a time in GNOME you could add wallpaper from any directory you could access. I see that now in Oneiric you have two choices: the wallpaper directory that presumably all users have access...
