It might be more accurate to say that I'm looking for a way to hide Samba shares from the "Places" structure that is available in Nautilus.

I have attached a picture to show you what I'm talking...

Greetings all.

So, I've been using Ubuntu now for a while, and helping out here when I can. I use Samba networking pretty regularly, and if you have used it to much extent, you already know that...

What a shame. I have watched several of Nixie's videos and referred new users to them many times; she's very helpful for new people. I think it would have been great to have seen her presentation...

Thanks for the info, ischliky. I tried your solution and didn't have much luck. I can run wine, and applications in wine just fine. But, for some reason, this solution didn't work for me; I tried...

I am also having this problem. I can't seem to locate other documentation.

I have installed package "jabberd2" and have started the service successfully.

When trying to connect with Pidgin, I...

Yes, I quite agree with Morbius1; it looks like it might be an external drive and/or a non-Linux filesystem.

Also, I would like to suggest that you try a "bare bones, full rights" share on your...

I, too, have discovered that I can not move the Unity launcher and "panel" to other locations on the screen. I have also read the comments about how they have decided that they always want the...

I'm going to chime in here with my 2 cents...

I did the upgrade to 11.04 and Unity a bit ago. You know what, at first I grumbled because it wasn't Gnome. Sure, I'm a bit of a creature of habit,...

You sure can.

Open your Configuration Editor (gconf-editor) and activate the key "always_use_location_entry"


user@host~$ gconf-editor
Then find the path:...

I'm searching for a way, using the Gnome GUI menu, to open multiple copies of an application at once. This might seem a little unclear so I'm going to state an example:

I used Windows for a long...

Tee hee. True, we've all been through something similar. But, I suppose it's hardly Ubuntu's fault that modern mechanical hard drives are no longer the quality that they used to be a few years ago....

Dagnabbit, that's hot. I like it. *thumbs up*

To be honest, I'm not sure what I named any of the startup scripts I tried earlier, or at what point I found out that PulseAudio started after ALSA. I'm actually kind of glad it happened that way,...

These are good thoughts, I will agree. However, there are a couple of points to note. This method was one of the suggestions I had read on several sites, and it just didn't work on my laptop or my...

How-To set the mixer volume level at system startup or login.

A funny story that led up to this how-to first...

(please feel free to skip down if you don't want to read my little story)
Today...

Okay, I have searched and searched, and I just can't seem to find any way to change this.

When an application wants your attention, the window list slowly fades in and out over several seconds. ...

This happens for more than just Pidgin. This is the panel's "urgent hint" being set, and I *think it's part of the active theme. When an application requests user attention, it fades in/out in the...

I think the only thing I really dislike is the "fading" effect for minimized applications. I really need that to flash boldly. I keep missing IMs because the fade is too gradual and I don't notice...

I agree with dcstar, but only partly.

While I agree that it is silly to change this unless for some reason it does not work, I think it's worthy to note that there may be circumstances when it is...

Oopsy, my bad there. Okay, I have found some (rather surprising) information. According to the following:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs/+bug/656526
It seems as if there may...

Call me crazy, but I still like old original Quake. For some reason, in Ubuntu 10.10 I can no longer get audio to work. It seems to me that there is now some incompatibility with OSS-based apps and...

In order to run fsck, you'll need to unmount the partition. Are you running your system directly or from a LiveCD/USB? It's a good idea to do it with a LiveCD/USB. If you are already doing that,...

Well, funny thing about faulty memory, is if you had it installed and your OS up and running, it's possible that you have written faulty data back to your partition. So, the first thing to do is to...

Okay, let's see what we can find out then..

What is the output of:

ifconfig -a

Out of curiousity, have you tried simply connecting the USB adapter and see if it works right away? I think this version is old enough to be recognized automatically - if it's the one I am thinking...
