I did not find a solution other than to change the orientation of the two monitors to something that did not reflect the physical layout.

I think the problem is that the way Twinview works is that...

I have a laptop with an nvidia video card (560m, tested with both drivers offered) I use with a monitor, with the monitor above the laptop. On Unity, everything runs as expected. On Gnome Shell...

I haven't dealt with this particular computer before, but I have dealt with fan issues before. One thing that could resolve your problems is to access the bios (commonly but not always f12 during...

I've been looking for the same info, and although I haven't found anything definitive the latest firmware version is still SD25, which one of the earlier posters claimed increased problems.

Not sure about your particular card, but most Nvidia GT 555M set ups I have seen support Optimus, which is currently unsupported by Linux. What I'm guessing ubuntu is doing is disabling the card and...

Hey, the deb drivers are still there, but it just doesn't appear on the previously given link for some reason.

Here you go:...

Hey, make sure to restart nautilus or just restart your computer. Otherwise I don't think breadcrumbs kicks in until you do that.

Does anyone have any statistics or benchmarks on how much more efficient doing a minimal installation is on lucid lynx?

This should give you a bit more info about LXDE vs Gnome and KDE:

Hey, you might want to check out playonlinux (google it), it's supposed to take care of everything for you. The problem with just using straight up wine is sometimes the updates end up breaking...

Figured out that setting "focus stealing prevention level" to none under System Settings -> Window Behavior -> Window behavior fixes these issues.

I like krunner, but I can't get it to detect some applications, and I can't get krunner to open up folders and files like gnome do can, although in theory it should be able to open up folders like...

I'm using the latest version of gnome-shell from this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/testing on karmic. Basically, the mouse pointer seems like it's a layer below the shell, so it...

I'm relatively new to kubuntu, and just found out that KRunner is supposed to be able to open folders without having to type in the whole path (like if I type in Music, it should be able to open the...

I just installed gnome-do on Kubuntu because I could not get launchy to function, but I can't get gnome-do to consistently appear above other windows even after applying the workaround on the...

I just tried building it on lucid lynx (figured I'd give lucid lynx a try since I've been having bad luck w/ karmic and my experience w/ testing karmic koala was pretty good), but it still gives me...

In Ubuntu 9.04 (Karmic Koala) ibus is supposed to replace scim as an input manager I think. Go to system -> administration -> language support and install the Chinese language (simplified or...

I'm trying to build the latest version of gnome shell in karmic koala, and everything works fine until I try jhbuild build. Here's the error I end up getting:

make[2]: *** No rule to make target...

I can't find such an option in KDE, and even then it's missing the point. I want the plasmoids (widgets) to start up with the operating system. The thing that's bothering me is that the plasmoids...

I'm pretty new to kubuntu, but I don't think katapult is installed by default, and it looks like development on katapult stopped a while ago. Gnome do and Launchy are both supposed to work on kde,...

I've been using ubuntu for a while now but decided to give kubuntu a shot. So far things have are pretty good, but there has been one problem I've been having problems with the plasmoids that require...

Has anyone had any luck fixing this problem? Unfortunately for me, madwifi is not part of karmic, so there is no option to switch to proprietary drivers.

I'm running the 32 bit version.

I recently used the mozilla daily repositories for a bit to test out the newer mozilla builds, and decided not to stick with them. So I removed the repostiroy and reinstalled the official firefox...

Are you selecting the karmic koala/lucid lynx edition when you download Opera? because if you just click download it defaults to the jaunty version I think.
