Not an upgrade. This is a brand new computer with a clean install of 19.04. It really looks like this is the design of the gnome 3 onscreen keyboard, and that the design is just really, really poorly...

I've kind of posed a question on this before, but before it was just about the log-in screen, now it has now become more general. Ubuntu 16.04, which I was using previously, had a pretty okay...

I would love to know if/how I can change the default settings of the lock screen on-screen keyboard to show numbers and symbols on one panel - instead of having to press buttons to show them....

Well, I found some answers to my problem with some testing. By adding some commands in my script being called by RUN+="..." to touch files in /tmp, I was able to confirm that my udev rule WAS...

I'm having a similar problem. If someone could even provide info on how to monitor if a run command is executing, that would be great. I know my script works when invoked directly.

I upgraded a 1st generation Surface Pro with Windows 8.1/Ubuntu dual boot to Windows 10 yesterday and everything worked fine. Ubuntu partitions unmolested, and grub survived the process.

After weeks of problems with this I have successfully installed the epson drivers. Although there are 64 bit drivers available, some packages weren't installing for me and I think adding i386...

Turns out I can still achieve a "gnome classic" look by installing the gnome session flashback package:

sudo apt-get install gnome-session-flashback
Compiz works with the clone plugins and I get...

Thanks. I was able to find the bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1266437?comments=all

If anyone else is affected, log files are wanted from /var/log/installer...

I am using a surface pro (version 1, rot 2) and testing the 14.04 builds. Touch and pen support is great out of the box until I connect an external monitor. Then the touch input spans both screens. I...

Thanks for the link. I see from that that I can remove my username from the menu bar strip - that is a slight improvement. My problem is that I use the second screen as a kind of "electronic...

Thanks very much! Good to know I can add those compiz plugins. The option in 14.04 to turn off the global menu bar sounds promising. However, I'm wondering if I will still have the gray bar at the...

I'm know there are lots of "which is the best desktop environment" threads out there. I've read several. However, I'm after a setup that will meet specific needs. I have tried several but realise...

Recently purchased a surface pro with the plan of primarily running some flavour of linux and having the option to boot to windows for a small handful of situations where it is impossible to do...

Well, turns out neither software nor hardware (sort of) are to blame for this. I decided to try a spare pen I had and, voila! Everything worked perfectly. So then, on a whim, I decided to try a...

lsusb gives me the following line for the tablet:


Also, I did:

xinput list-props "Aiptek"

This gives:

I've been able to follow instructions in these threads and on the Ubuntu community help wiki Aiptek page to get my old Aiptek tablet working in 12.04 - partially. However, I have the often mentioned...

Unfortunately I don't think I can offer a solution to the hanging problem. I don't use NFS myself, I use samba because I am also sharing with a windows machine. But I have seen the same problem - if...

Let's say you have two users, tarzan and jane. On your remote machine you have:
/home/tarzan
/home/jane

You have mounted this to /local-share on your client machines. So when the server is...

I could be wrong, but the manual mount after login approach sounds problematic - I imagine that at login time the user config files are READ, and the settings stored in memory. Then you are mounting...

Modern network cards should not need a crossover cable. When you connect the two computers an LED should usually light up by the network socket on the computer if the connection is okay. Next you can...

You are on the right track, but when you edited /etc/modprobe.d/iwlagn-disable11n.conf what did you put in the conf file? It has been ages since I've had to mess with modprobe. Maybe it would just...

Even if nobody can directly help answer my problem, it would be a HUGE help if someone else with a Galaxy S2 can tell me if they have used it as a wifi hotspot with ubuntu and successfully connected...

At some time you have SSHed to another computer that had the same IP that the server you are connecting to has now. So the fingerprint of your server does not match the fingerprint expected for that...

I am having a problem connecting to certain sites via a wifi hotspot I have created on my stock Samsung Galaxy S2 on the Telstra NextG network, using the built-in hotspot option. General sites work...
