    [ubuntu] Re: installing google chrome 26 in raring

    I ran into the same problem and this fixed it for me. Thank you.
  2. [SOLVED] Re: Sound broken in Natty after upgrade (Toshiba T135D)

    "Again", you mean, now that I've made your change? I gave a link, of course, in my original question.
  3. [SOLVED] Re: Sound broken in Natty after upgrade (Toshiba T135D)

    Thank you. That got the built-in headphones jack working. Brilliant. I'm marking as solved, but if someone wants to add the USB audio fix (for posterity) please feel free.



    I have no idea.
  4. [SOLVED] Sound broken in Natty after upgrade (Toshiba T135D)

    In Maverick, I had sound working through a USB sound card and through my laptop internal speakers. The built-in headphone jack did not work. After upgrade to Natty, only the internal speakers work,...
  5. [ubuntu] Re: Is there a USB audio device I can buy so audio on my laptop "just works"?

    OK, I got the device. At first I couldn't get it working in PulseAudio, so I switched to ALSA and got it running there. I can confirm that it works in ALSA. But I wanted to have PulseAudio's fancy...
  6. [ubuntu] Re: Is there a USB audio device I can buy so audio on my laptop "just works"?

    Thank you @Fafler. I've made the purchase.

    To mods: Should I mark this "Closed", or leave it open so I can come back to confirm that it worked for me?

    Thanks again.
  7. [ubuntu] Is there a USB audio device I can buy so audio on my laptop "just works"?

    I've used Linux for years: different distros, hardware, etc. And as everyone here knows, getting audio to work, and work consistently, is the bugbear of this whole operation.

    After tens of hours...
  8. [SOLVED] Re: Firefox tab and arrow navigation have ceased to work

    Yep! That did it! You sir/madam are a god/goddess among mere mortals. Thank you!

  9. [SOLVED] Firefox tab and arrow navigation have ceased to work

    As a preface, this is not an F7 carat mode problem.

    Firefox 3.6.8 in Lucid no longer is navigable with the keyboard.

    Up/Down arrows, PgUp/PgDown, Home/End, when the page is in focus, fail to...
  10. [ubuntu] Cannot figure out how to change KDE window appearance from "super-ugly"

    I'm trying out KDE (switching from Gnome) and all the windows have the blocky feel of Windows 3.1. Presumably this is trivial to change (via a theme/whatever) but I have been unable to figure out...

    [SOLVED] Re: Unicode Shortcuts

    Lovely. Thank you.
  12. [kubuntu] Re: X won't start in Karmic following power failure and upgrade

    So ... is there any consensus that a clean install will help? Should I upgrade to Lucid as long as I'm doing that? Is this expected to be (reasonably) non-destructive? And -- is there a chance...
  13. [kubuntu] X won't start in Karmic following power failure and upgrade

    Hello,

    Yesterday or the day before, the Update Manager downloaded a bunch of packages, and prompted me for a reboot. I chose "Reboot Later". The reboot suggests to me that there might(?) have...
  14. [ubuntu] Re: Mounting a virtual blank CD-RW in VirtualBox

    If this were iTunes or Audible there are clear workarounds, especially if one has an iPod, but unfortunately this is special-market software.
  15. [ubuntu] Re: Mounting a virtual blank CD-RW in VirtualBox

    Thank you.



    No, I really do want to write to a CD image. I want to use an audio program that will not run in Ubuntu, even under wine, and will not (for DRM reasons) write a file, but will...
  16. [ubuntu] Mounting a virtual blank CD-RW in VirtualBox

    OK, this may be a stupid question for reasons I don't understand, but it is possible to mount the iso of a blank CD-RW in VirtualBox, using the "Mount CD" function? Is that even meaningful?

    The...
  17. [ubuntu] Re: Dell Latitude D810 overheating: can I throttle back CPU usage?

    Thank you. I can't figure out how to use it. It has a dropdown with half a dozen clock speeds, as well as four of what I assume are presets, but no settings above the minimum speed option (800MHz)...
  18. [ubuntu] Dell Latitude D810 overheating: can I throttle back CPU usage?

    My Dell Latitude D810 overheats to a temperature at which it shuts itself off when I am doing computationally-intensive tasks such as video transcoding. Two questions:

    1. Is there a way in...
  19. [ubuntu] Re: Dell Latitude D810 repeatedly switches between A/C and battery when first started

    Huh. I guess I ... didn't keep everyone posted. Sorry about that.

    Yes, it was a power supply problem.

    Thanks everyone.

    [photography] Resizing the canvas of PDF pages

    Hello,

    I'm not sure whether this is a good place for the question, but I'm trying to resize the canvas of all the pages of a PDF file -- specifically, to put 8.5" x 11" pages on the right side of...
  22. [ubuntu] Looking for a Gmail notifier that does not work by diffing the Atom feed

    Hello friends,

    I tend to keep more than 10-20 unread messages in my Gmail account. The Linux new message notifiers I have tried appear to just run a diff against the last-retrieved Atom feed. ...
  23. [ubuntu] Re: Dell Latitude D810 repeatedly switches between A/C and battery when first started

    AFAIK, the adapter is the exact right *model* -- it's just that with this model (which they acquired used in bulk), they put all the bare notebooks in one place, all the adapters in one place, all...
  24. [ubuntu] Re: Dell Latitude D810 repeatedly switches between A/C and battery when first started

    Thank you.

    I bought it, cheaply, from a local computer store that buys refurbs in bulk. They apparently picked a computer, an A/C adapter, and a Windows XP disk (ha) off a shelf at random, so I...

    Hello friends,
