SketchUp Make 2015 now works well under WINE. However I cannot figure out how to add a Google Earth background into my SketchUp model.
In SketchUp, I go to: File > Geo-Location > Add Location......

Follow-up: turns out I missed some fine print. I'm using a Toshiba NB205 Netbook, which I bought in Aug 2008 and thus began with Ubu 8.04. 8.04 booted with GRUB 0.96 or earlier. When I upgraded to...

Hi, I am trying to upgrade from GRUB 0.97 to GRUB2. I have been using Ubu for 3 years, and at the upgrade to 9.10 I opted to keep GRUB because there was not much troubleshooting help on GRUB2 then....

I have a series of problems and performance-regressions since upgrading to 10.10. Have been trying to find webpages where these problems are discussed.

1.The boot process hangs for at least half a...

Hi, just referencing most recent posts; I agree that the first post should be updated to reflect the fact that things have changed in recent years.
Just to recap the prevailing strategy: RIM is not...

This is still a problem in Lucid. "Genaroneto" has done fine work showing us how to add a patch and recompile notify-osd so that it accepts configuration parameters.

...same solution, slightly different method:
Under System > Preferences I don't have a "screensaver" control panel enabled, but I can access it through Gconf.
I start gconf from an icon that I...

[when I figure out how to delete this follow-on msg I will do so.]

I just want to bump this post because I have exactly the same issue and it irritates me for exactly the same reason. Furthermore, why can't we access control of this notification popup via the...

I have also had this problem; sometimes it hangs for as much as 10 minutes before it proceeds to boot with the step:

[ 127.884676] udev: starting version 141
If this is due to a USB device, it...

Weird fix: I have never seen this suggestion through hours of Googling different fora regarding Ubuntu sound, PulseAudio, etc for months:
Assume you have a default, vanilla config of Pulse for Ubu...

Same or closely related problem here: while recording with Gnome Sound-recorder or Xvidcap, I cannot mute built-in mic, nor can I record from "Digital" source accessed through Volume Control panel...

Hi, still cannot record sound from a flash presentation playing in Firefox.
Uninstalled Jaunty version, installed intrepid version; got Audio Settings on MultiFrame tab.
Started xvidcap from...

Thanks for the guidance thus far. I have tried both:

perl -p rm_newline.pl < 600.txt

and
perl rm_newline.pl < 600.txt

with the same return:

Use of uninitialized value $1 in concatenation...

Hi, I am decidedly not a programmer, but I have the same need: to strip newlines from Project Gutenberg .txt files. I have read this series of exchanges and have no idea how I would execute the Perl...

Hi, just updated to kernel 2.6.24-20-generic yesterday. Pressed <fn><f5> to suspend my laptop, and I got kernel panic. Thought it might have been that I was running R in a console and a few other...
