Great! quite clear and very useful to remove a default that I found annoying. Kudos!
Now another question (I hope I can articulate it): Has anyone managed, with ccsm, to have "Show Desktop" included...

Any hint about what the equivalent for unity should look like?

Thank you steeldriver. I will attempt what you propose in the evening, when my toddler gives me some peace. I will report on my status then.

Dear forum members,

I messed up ownership/permissions of the whole /var/lib directory while attempting to configure mysql. The problem is similar to this...

I upgraded the Linux kernel today (5/31/13). This seems to have taken care of the bug---which probably came along a prior kernel upgrade.

Upon re-starting the system after an upgrade, the xbacklight package seems to have stopped working. No change in screen brightness occurs, neither with the keyboard control nor running from the...

Thanks to MrsUser, this actually solves the mystery. Thumbs up!

After months of miseries, I discovered that the problem was hardware-related. My hard drive was faulty, preventing system recovery after suspending the machine. Thanks a lot for the input, for it...

Hello Ubuntu Forums,

My office machine runs win7, my laptop runs ubuntu 12.04. Dropbox syncs my personal files in both. Files are organized in many folders and sub-folders.

In Linux, I created...

Thanks (again!) Toz. This has solved the PPA error issue. I'll monitor if the suspend issue has also been resolved, and report back. Have a nice day.

I added the PPA. Now, whenever I sudo apt-get update, I get this error at the end of the process:

I have added the PPA described in the post. I'll monitor my system and report in a couple of days if this is SOLVED. Thanks a lot.

Thanks again. I will look a these carefully tomorrow morning.

System froze again. I managed to get a shell back, but the system appears to resume in read-only mode. I ran again the PM: command,...

Thanks for the reply, Toz! Below is the info.

Sorry to resuscitate an old thread, but technology has moved on, and some comparability should be useful.

How have these issues evolved with new distributions of Ubuntu and larger disks? Do...

Running ubuntu 12.04. System suspends fine, but will not return to life. Only a reset button will do it. (CTRL-ALT-DEL unresponsive, CTRL-ALT-F1 opens a shell that will not let you do anything).

Thanks Cariboo.

So encryption it will be. I'll search that theme in the threads.
In my case, however, I have been unable to get root access to my damaged drive with a live-USB. Searching the...

So a system password is really of secondary protection. All it takes to copy/modify files is to boot a machine with a live cd/usb? (Which, BTW, I still haven't managed to do successfully...)

Thanks Ranger. That is what I attempted. Attaching 'sudo' in the terminal before the command prompted for the password that I do not have. I must be doing something wrong when I boot from live-usb......

I am relatively new to Linux. I recently broke something in the boot records of my SSD. I created a live USB and booted to attempt a fix. I then came to realize that I have no admin privileges in the...

Thanks OldFred. I have looked at dmesg logs but cannot figure out much, long and cryptic.

I'll boot from usb and attempt e2fsck on unmounted drive. I'll report back when done.

I am relatively new to linux. I did something awfully wrong trying to install an on-line thesaurus for emacs. Now the machine will not boot all the times. Re-starting the machine will take me to...

I've added SSD to the title, I hope someone offers advice. Thank you AsMoore82.

Other than my personal documents, what else constitutes important stuff to back up?
