What benefit does selecting more than one application at once give if it doesn't ask you for authentication for each one?



It isn't great, but 'double-click application, click install' isn't...

So, from reading other comments it seems that the big problem is the reauthentication each time? If that went away, would your objections cease?

It does queue. If you click the Install button on one application while the other is still installing, the new one will be added to the queue to be automatically installed afterwards.

In the old...

Why is it a problem that you can only select to install one at a time? It will queue up subsequent installations, so it is, if anything, more functional than the old one.

If somebody has physical access to a computer, there's nothing (except encrypting the disk, perhaps) that you can do to prevent them from doing anything they want. If you password-protect GRUB, they...

Unless you're using a proprietary graphics driver, moving a hard disk between machines of the same architecture should pose no problems whatsoever.

The problem you are encountering is simply the...

All configuration is still kept in /etc...



xorg.conf InputDevice sections are for specific devices, so it's completely impossible to implement hotplug with them. Additionally, adding support...

Have you removed xserver-xorg-input-joystick? -joystick will turn joysticks into mice regardless of what evdev thinks.

You can use 'xinput' to set most touchpad options at runtime.

GNOME touchpad settings are per-user.

xorg works fine without hal; it just requires some extra configuration. Desktop users have hal installed by default.

xorg.conf is no longer the right way to configure input devices. See the new documentation.

It means that you should check for a bug so that you can be sure we know about your particular issue... we don't magically discover these things without people telling us.

As I said, i810 doesn't work. It would need significant porting work to be made usable with the new X server.

-intel dropped support for some chips before i855, but nothing later. -i810 doesn't work with the new xserver. You should file bugs to get -intel fixed, rather than trying to use -i810!

-intel...

Have you looked at the documentation?

Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) is only supported for another 5 months, so it's rather inadvisable to downgrade to it at this stage.

Have you tried Ubuntu 8.10? Your tablet's stylus should work without any...

Things are in a bit of flux at the moment, with all display configuration moving over to XRandR 1.2. You might want to look at X resolution fixing documentation.

Try 'kdesu kate'

Did you all upgrade from 8.04? Does the 8.10 live CD work?

I would like to remind people that there was a good reason for glxgears to not show framerates unless the -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark option was passed. That reason still stands.

Moving things out of xorg.conf is required to allow hotplugging of input devices, and is the start of a path towards much easier configuration over the next couple of releases. It wasn't done just...

Speed is a floating-point number, so can't currently be exposed through xinput (float representations differ between architectures, so they can't be used straight in the X protocol). You should...

You can use the 'xinput' command line tool to change these things while X is running. You probably want to use 'xinput set-ptr-feedback', but the manpage describes things well.

You'll need to log out and in again for the changes to take effect.

Configuration of input devices in xorg.conf is now very much deprecated and somewhat broken; the X server detects devices from HAL. See the X input device configuration documentation for details on...
