    [ubuntu] Re: Problem Install Cinepaint

    It appears you are missing some dependencies...try reading the README or INSTALL file that came in the package and see what you need to install. The script certainly wasn't too specific, though...

    [SOLVED] Re: Linux headstart !!

    For me, at least, I have to right-click the executable and select "Open with Wine Windows Program Loader" rather than just double-clicking it.

    No go, with either password.
  5. [ubuntu] Re: System will not accept password at unlock

    I did have the same password on my old system. Unfortunately, I don't remember what files I transferred--I had some difficulties and had to remove some files I had originally restored and vice versa.

    I recently did a clean install of Maverick Meerkat and copied a few configuration files from my old system. I can log on normally, and the system works just fine. However, when I lock the workstation...
  7. [ubuntu] Some function keys do not work in terminal

    I'm trying to use the byobu program (which is similar to screen), which uses F2, F3, and F4 to switch tabs. In GNOME Terminal, pressing these keys is doing nothing. F6 and F9 both work fine. I tried...

    Yeah, it's a good point. I have my home directory and /etc backed up, any other config files I should make sure I have backed up first? The only reason I don't want to do a clean install immediately...

    I started installing the beta of Maverick a few days ago, but the update server was running inordinately slow, so I canceled it. Several times, I have attempted to continue the installation, but I've...
  10. [ubuntu] Re: Gwibber configuration window keeps appearing

    Thanks! No help in solving the problem, but at least I know what's wrong. I might just raise the update frequency to lower the annoyance.

    [lubuntu] Re: Home folder

    You need to put a text editor and 'sudo' before that path (although in this case it seems you don't need to use that file), like so:

    sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf

    Other common text editors are...

    [ubuntu] Re: Mouse Randomly Locks Up!!!

    Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete does not kill the X server by default. On many systems, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace will. You can also use Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get to a virtual terminal, then run
    sudo killall gdm

    If the CD needs to be unmounted, do

    sudo umount /dev/cdrom .

    But many CDROMs are not on /dev/cdrom. Can you post the output of

  17. [ubuntu] Re: Gwibber configuration window keeps appearing

    In that case, I expect it was an update.

    [SOLVED] Re: Having problem with Sudoers

    I do agree that's a little odd--other tools like crontab let you choose what editor to use and point you to nano as the easiest.

    But so what, you got it working. :)

    [SOLVED] Re: Having problem with Sudoers

    I'm assuming from the command name that this command uses VI as its text editor. VI has an unusual control scheme which I won't go into detail about, but basically:

    That's really bizarre. Does it do this in other programs, or only Gedit?
