I think this method is much simpler. In short, run
sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration and say yes when it asks you whether you want Control+Alt+Backspace to kill X.

EDIT: Sorry, I see...

I believe I have the same problem. Are you using ubuntu 14.04 and a AMD graphics card?

What happened is that after I upgraded from 13.10 to 14.04 Xorg's memory usage just grows constantly, and...

I had the same problem as you. I think the issue is just that the ath9k driver is a piece of ****, and nobody is capable of getting it to work properly. My solution: use the Windows XP drivers via...

m0ckinbird,

At exactly which step did this error happen? You succeeded at least in removing vlc 2?

I did try exactly these steps on ubuntu 12.04 later, and it worked.

I did just that, but because vlc 2 couldn't play sound correctly on precise.

WARNING: Doing this can **** your OS pretty hard, so be careful.

First of all you need to remove vlc and all its...

Hi all,

I've bought a shiny new Asus 1225B while in Tokyo, but I'm having a little problem with the keyboard: I can't find a way to make accented characters with it, i.e., "á", "ç", "õ", etc.

I...

Got it to work using transmission. Quite simple actually - /usr/bin/transmission does not exist, the name of the binary is /usr/bin/transmission-gtk

When I typed it, it began to work just fine....

For the newbies here (or for those who just don't like manually installing things), there's a simpler solution.

Just add hp's ppa https://launchpad.net/~hplip-isv/+archive/ppa
and run sudo...

In previous versions of Ubuntu, I could go to System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts and set Super as my shorcut for running a terminal. Only Super, not any key sequences.

But now I've installed...

I have an eeepc 1015pem running 10.10, and the post by shad974 solved the shutdown problem for me.

Yes, I already got it working, and I'm on Natty, not Maverick.

However, I do have another machine with Maverick (don't want to upgrade, machine too critical), and I'd like to make it work with...

This is an answer in search of a question. I hope, though, that it will be useful.

In Natty 11.04, evince now has the much anticipated feature of reading and adding annotations to pdf files.

Wrong. UNIX file systems allows all characters except for \0 (and /, but that's trivial). See for example the POSIX standard or the specs of any Linux filesystem, e.g., ext4.

How did you do it,...

anyway, bump.

Fellows,

I propose you a puzzle. Download the attached tarball, untar it, and try to tar it again. You won't. The puzzle is to find out why.

It is due to a bug in file-roller, that I have...

Thanks for the reply. Actually the MBR is on the first disk, and grub2 is installed on the second. So if I just exchange the boot order, it won't boot at all. What I should do is to...

I hate it too. It did recognise all my OSes, but it is slow as hell to start up. And it's ugly. Why change the look and feel of the menu? We are supposed to stare at that thing? Just give me a...

Sisyphus, if you had to install specific software even on windows, certainly my solution does not apply. And, to be frank, it is improbable that it can be made to work at all. But yeah, do try...

Sorry! I had completely forgotten it, though that the edit was quick enough to save you from some trouble.

Actually I am a little confused with what you call commenting and uncommenting. To...

Cool. So this is it.

If I recall correctly, there's a setting in the phone that lets you change between the internal memory or the SD card to store the messages and contacts. So, in theory, you...

EDIT: please do not reboot with that line commented out. It won't be pleasant

Cool. It is similar enough to my model, so it might work.

You're probably correct about the internet. It is so with...

This is not about power management. It is a bug with gnome-screensaver.

I'd suggest that you just disable the screensaver, System->Preferences->Screensaver, and untick the relevant box. And...

I've nailed it.

What we have here is the combination of a bug and sadism.

The bug is that playing a video does not count against a computer being idle. This is a regression and should be...

Hi all,

As many here, I've installed bootchart to measure the boot time in karmic. The 11/11 updates fixed the boot time for me, measured in a stopwatch. But by bootchart, it is still slow.

Indeed. It breaks my heart that I have little experience with wine and UNR. Well, at least you shall have one thing working ;)

First of all, is file transfer working?
Does it automount?
