Really thought I'd find something on this but - nada.

Running 10.04 64-bit. After installing any custom mouse pointers the new pointers only appear when the pointer is in the main "body" of a...

Yeah, what I have to do as a precautionary measure is make certain that all currently running apps that emit sound are either turned way down or beter yet, muted. Then I can enable the equalizer and...

Running v2.7 under Ubuntu 10.04 64-Bit.

Clicking on the checkbox for "Eq Enabled" and then clicking "Apply" causes the master system volume to be increased to maximum. This happens every time on...

Thanks for the replies, guys.

dFlyer: My home directory had both .gimp-2.6 and a .gimp-2.7 folders. I deleted both of them but still no joy. :(

Yeah, I finally did that but still don't understand why in the past I've been able to boot using grub rescue commands and then execute 'sudo update-grub' to set things straight but this time updating...

Well, for starters real life intervened (it has a nasty habit of doing that). ;)

Also, I never received the directory structure file that I requested from the OP. I still have the script that I...

Ok, I've really borked up my Gimp. I'm running 10.04 64-bit and had at some point installed gimp but don't recall how or where I got it from. The strange part is that neither Synaptic or Ubuntu...

This is closely related to a recent thread of mine that I unfortunately marked as solved prematurely. I'll try to keep it brief this time.

After editing partitions I was left with a boot problem,...

Well damn! My first post in this thread may not have been a question but this one definitely is. And I went ahead and [prematurely] marked the thread as solved - jinxed myself.

Anyway, everything...

Ya know, I'm as big a fan of Linux as Linus Torvalds himself but it's things like this that help to keep Linux from becoming mainstream. I mean, how would I ever explain the need for the following...

I've hooked up an external monitor to my 10.04 x64 laptop and configured it for TwinView with nvidia-settings. All appears to be working correctly. The only real issue that I'm having is in trying to...

As I stated in my first reply, if you will send me the text file (so I can see the exact formatting/encoding), I will do my best to whip up a shell script to do the job for you. In fact, I've already...

Hi sidewalkcynic,

More than likely there is already something out there to do exactly what you want. I took a quick look and didn't turn anything up but it was a very cursory search - you'll do...

Under normal circumstances you will need just one partition for the Ubuntu installation. As for the filesystem, you can use any one of a number of filesystems but generally it is ext3 (or ext2) for...

Whenever I close Firefox and return to the desktop my screen is left all washed out as if the brightness, contrast or gamma are set way out of range. See the screenshots below. In this case a picture...

Quite right you are, WorMzy - and thanks for the fast response.
Odd, though. I could swear that is the command that I'm using in Karmic (with the 'sh'). Next time I'm at my 9.10 machine (at work)...

Under 9.10 I did the following:

Added a custom application launcher to the panel which executes a script with the following command.

Sorry it took so long to get back to this thread. Too much going on lately.

Yes. the syntax is as simple as it comes. Here's a snippet containing the relevant line of code:

Well, I guess it's a small consolation that this issue is not unique to me but apparently it's fairly rare considering that lack of responses here and nary a mention of it elsewhere on the net.

Hi folks,

Was fooling around with my .conkyrc today. Whenever I output the values of any of the mixer variables, eg. mixer, mixerbar, mixerl, mixerlbar, mixerr, mixerrbar - the correct value is...

Well, so it is. :redface:

For some reason I was looking for it in the left-hand pane and never even looked to the right.

Serious brain cramp...

Thanks,

Here's a real newbie question for ya...

I don't care too much for Karmic's new graphical installer, "Ubuntu Software Center" Instead I prefer to use the older gnome-app-install. All I want to do...

Thank you 2hot6ft2. Exactly what I wanted to hear.

I've noticed that every time I install a new version of Ubuntu alongside the others, a new swap partition is created as well.

I've finally got 9.10 x64 to the point where I'm happy and secure...

Glad I could help. You're quite welcome.
