Alas the file /usr/share/gvfs/mounts/network.mount doesn't exist... the only files in that folder are

burn.mount
computer.mount

I'm wondering if it is something...

When I launch the Thunar file explorer on Xubuntu, the first time I launch it after a reboot it takes about 30 seconds to launch. Subsequent launches are almost instantaneous.

How can I debug...

Thanks! Actually with tinkering and a reboot it's just started working, but unfortunately I don't know what I did! I'll keep an eye on it...

My Logitech c920 microphone doesn't seem to be working, but it was previously. The video does work, and the microphone shows up in the audio settings, and in alsamixer. Nowhere is it muted. The...

Seems I've managed to fix this, so I'm posting it here in case it's helpful (I don't know if the lack of replies means that no-one else has had this problem, but anyway...)

Hi Rasa,

great, lucky you! I've found that too - sometimes things just fix themselves (good Gremlins perhaps?). :-)

Alas the crashes on mine were getting more frequent, so I went ahead and went...

Hello,

after having the same problem and coming across this thread, I'm glad to see it's not just me!

I tried A + E as described above but it still likes to crash every so often (and Alt +...

Hello,

I've recently upgraded my Xubuntu installation to 9.10 (full install instead of upgrade). Generally happy with it, although I'm experiencing random system freezes, where the screen freezes...

Hi,

I recently upgraded to Karmic, and it seems my Pidgin guifications plugin has been disabled. It was available in the plugin list, but it was greyed-out and said "ABI version mismatch 2.5.x...

Hi,

I couldn't find anything that related to what you guys mention in the logfiles, but now I know where to look :-) this is the contents of one of the files where it failed (":0.log.2"):

I had the same problem with sound after upgrading from Xubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 - however I think I've found a fix for it. A new item "aumix" has appeared in the "multimedia" menu (I've got my system in...

Hello,

I've just upgraded Xubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 without any problems, except that now after logging in, it shows a blank light blue screen for 15 seconds or so before starting to load the desktop....

Hi,

well, xorg.conf is in /etc/X11/ and menu.lst is in /boot/grub/. You'll need to be root to edit them - the way I do it is to use the "nano" editor, like this:


sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf...

Hi,

well, to change resolution you should be able to go to "Desktop settings" in the configuration manager, which as well as the main menu I think you can access via right-clicking on the desktop....

I've managed to get it working! (well, once - we'll see if it breaks again) - it occurred to me that if I can start X as root after doing the

Hello,

I can't get my display to work in Xubuntu (I've posted about this before, but a recent update seems to have killed it again). If I boot into recovery mode, drop to a root shell prompt, type...

Hi,

alas no, it doesn't mention anything in there. Thanks for your help anyway.

Hi,
thanks for your reply. I tried that, and have managed to get it to display the login screen but only at 800x600, using about 75% of the screen. When I log in and go to the Display control panel...

Hi,

I forgot to mention I removed all the b43* lines from the blacklist, so I suppose it's using the native driver now. Can't find any reference to ndiswrapper in the log you mention, and I've...

Hi,

I tried what you suggested, adding those lines to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and rebooting, but that didn't work. There was already a line at the end of that file that was
