I have two quick questions about Compiz.
First, when you install the Compiz settings manager, do any of the currently-set compiz settings get automatically chagned the first time you load the...
Back when I was using 13.04, when I would use Audacity one of the recording options was "default:Stereo Mix". I have since upgraded to 14.04 and that option no longer appears in Audacity. Does...
So recently I saw someone mention that you could use a free VPN service, like justfreevpn, to test if a website is down or just being blocked by your ISP or some such. My question is, if the VPN...
I tried it on the default settings, and then I went through the setup wizard and tried it on balanced settings and high quality settings, then I customized it to the highest settings possible and it...
I was recently comparing the latest versions of Mumble and TeamSpeak. I configured both programs very carefully, calibrated everything for my audio hardware. I used the Opus codec set to the...
The window dimensions and settings of Evince have gone all wonky, and I'd simply like to clear the configuration.
I know that now Evince stores its window configuration data in...
I checked the settings on the MP3 player and it was indeed set to MTP. So, I changed it to MSC, but now when I plug it in I get an error window that pops up saying Unable to open MTP device...
I have an older Philips MP3 player. In past versions of Ubuntu and Lubuntu (12.10 and earlier) plugging the MP3 player in created a mount point in /media/user/mp3player and it would act just like a...
But you can record Teamspeak for the sake of a podcast?
Thanks for the replies so far. For those pointing out that you cannot connect to the Skype network without Skype, that's just fine, because as I already said in a previous post, I do *not* want a...
To be clear, I don't want something that uses the Skype network. I want something that uses its own network, with server-based voice chat and the ability to record the chats. Something that works...
Greetings! I'm looking for an alternative to Skype that has some specific features.
It would be nice if it had a native 64-bit version. It should connect through some server, instead of making a...
I would recommend against using the Lubuntu dev PPA. It doesn't just upgrade PCManFM and libfm, it also upgrades the panel and a few other items and at least on my machine, causes the logout menu to...
I can confirm that this bug is fixed in PCManFM 1.1.2. However, there's no simple way of updating, especially considering Ubuntu uses multiple packages for libfm, instead of having just one libfm...
I have this same problem. I had a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10 and after a few months of normal use including shutting down the computer every night, I started getting the maximum number of clients...
Thank you for the information. That's interesting, but it looks like the link is only about dragging files back and forth to and from the desktop, instead of dragging them to other applications.
I'm using Lubuntu 13.04, which uses PCManFM 1.1.0. Dragging and dropping files into some programs isn't working for me. I can move files around in PCManFM, drag and drop then into other folders...
Installing Totem also installs its thumbnailer service in /usr/share/thumbnailers. The current version of PCManFM uses whatever thumbnailers are present in /usr/share/thumbnailers. In my testing,...
Lubuntu 13.04 uses ffmpegthumbnailer to generate file thumbnails in pcmanfm. This works well, except for .ogv and .mp3 files. I'd like to find a way to enable the generation of .ogv and .mp3 file...
Here's the bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tumbler/+bug/1181890
So the bug is #1181890.
First, some background.
I was running 12.10, which was a normal installation of Ubuntu. I then installed XFCE4 alongside it. In that configuration, Thunar could load all the thumbnails that...
Right now I'm using standard Ubuntu 12.10. Often, after using my computer for about an hour, sometimes less, sometimes more, new programs won't open, and I get the error message:
Maximum number...
That's good to know. As I'm exploring my upgrade options, is there any advantage to installing regular Ubuntu then XFCE (or LXDE) alongside it as opposed to just installing Xubuntu or Lubuntu...
In previous versions of Ubuntu, from 12.10 on back, Thunar would start very slowly the very first time you opened it because of it trying to access gvfs or something like that... something about it...
Although I like Unity, up until this point one feature I've been very much missing is hover-to-focus with open windows, where if you click and drag a file then keep it hovered over the icon of an...
