Anyone seen this? I've been using Rhythmbox in Ubuntu for years. But after upgrading to Quantal, sometimes when I'm playing songs in a playlist, the next song is switched to before the end of the...

Awesome, that did it. Thanks.

Thanks. That sounds like a decent solution, but is there a well-known approach that causes "compiz" to run from the get-go, rather than having to replace whatever it is that it replaces? I would...

Yup, I've installed CCSM.

I'm running a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit, and I've installed the legacy, closed-source ATI graphics driver. I've also installed compiz and ccsm.

What's the best way to have compiz...

I just did a clean install of Ubuntu 12.10, 64-bit.

My laptop's video card is an ATI FirePro M7740, which is apparently a Radeon HD 4xxx -series chip. So to use a proprietary driver, I installed...

I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit edition. I also installed the Gnome Classic desktop, as well as the KDE-based editor, "konsole".

When I click on the menu icon for Kate, I get a...

The repositories currently have Kile 2.1.0.

Kile 2.1.2 has been released by its developers, and it fixes a bug that's biting me.

Anyone know when 2.1.2 will show up in Ubuntu's repositories, or...

I have a catch 22. After installing Ubuntu, I'm not allowed to connect that computer to any network at all until it passes a vulnerability scan from a 3rd-party tool.

My current solution, which I...

Anyone know where I can get pre-built packages (or tarballs) of GCC 4.5.1 for use on a 64-bit Ubuntu 9.10 system? Is there a PPA?

I've tried downloading the source for GCC 4.5.1 (plus the three...

Hi guys,

I'd very much like to get KDevelop4 installed on my 10.04 system, but I can't tell if/when it's going to be available.

What's the currently recommended way of installing on a 10.04...

I just ordered at Dell M6500 mobile workstation, which I suspect (hope) has good Linux compatibility. If you ask me in a month I should have a more definite answer.

BTW, it's expensive, but take...

Anyone know if Ubuntu has proprietary driver support for the ATI FirePro M7740 chip, which ships with Dell's M6500 laptop?

And if Ubuntu does not support that, anyone know if ATI makes a...

iirc, when I did this, the packages providing debug symbols had slightly different package version numbers than the actual Apache packages. So I didn't install them out of concern that the debug...

Our ultimate solution was to buy a new computer (we had concerns about the old computer's hardware), and installed 9.04.

So I'm afraid I never solved this in a way that would help you.

Apple's new MacBook Pro has two graphics chips: an nVidia 9400M, and an nVidia 9600M GT. One for power-saving, one for high-performance. OS X automatically switches between the two, I believe.

I've got an 8.04 server running Apache 2.2.8-1ubuntu0.5.

I'm trying to debug an apache2 server that hangs every few days or so, and I'm following these directions:...

I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 with apache2. My customer wants the box's users' login passwords to stay in sync with the passwords they have to supply to that same computer's web pages.

I noticed that...

Thanks, but that would defeat the point. The idea is that if "suid" really works, than the script "print-foo.sh" should be running with mary's credentials, and thus be permitted to print out the...

Thanks, that sounds like a good solution to the problem at hand.

But I still have the problem about the apparent mismatch between the suid documentation and what I'm seeing with the experiment...

Thanks for the "su" suggestion, but I'm trying to avoid using that. Especially because this is to be run by a cron job, so supplying a password isn't realistic.

From all of the documentation I...

I'm trying to write a script that runs with someone else's permissions, but I can never get it to work. In the example below, I've logged in as "cjc", but I want the script to run with "mary" 's...

I'm setting up apache2 to be a Subversion gateway, using the "libapache2-svn" package.

I'm trying to get SVN check-ins (via HTTP) to work. One thing I've done is to modify the 'www-user' so that...

I'm using Ubuntu 8.04. I wanted to make the touchpad move the cursor much faster than it does by default.

The xorg.conf file that was produced by the installation has a section for the touchpad,...
