  1. [lubuntu] Re: how to change default desktop from lxde to lubuntu

    I fixed this by editing /etc/xdg/lubuntu/lxdm/lxdm.conf. (The man page says it is /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf for standard lxdm, /etc/xdg/lubuntu/lxdm/lxdm.conf for Lubuntu.)

    The third section begins

  2. Re: Too many people badmouthing Ubuntu and Unity

    Upgrading to 11.10 left both of my computers unable to boot into a session. This has something to do with Unity. I re-installed and tried Unity. Nothing was easy, nothing was configurable, everything...

    Re: New version of Sigil out!

    Thank you, this is an application I almost gave up looking for.

    To read an ebook or convert among many formats, Calibre is best.

  10. Re: [HowTo]: Fix suspend and hibernate on laptops

    Control over suspending is moving into the kernel, with uneven success. The hal files don't do anything anymore. I went half-mad trying to fix my suspend problem, and finally found I had to change...
  11. [ubuntu] Re: Upgraded to 10.10: X won't start (Intel graphics)

    The parameter pci=nocrs makes no difference in my case. My computer has an Intel 82852/82855 graphics chip.
  12. [ubuntu] Re: Upgraded to 10.10: X won't start (Intel graphics)

    Fixed it. Ha. That only took a day and 372 dead ends and failed attempts.

    I believe I now am using the same xorg.conf as before, and that my trouble came from the upgrade creating a generic...

  15. [ubuntu] can't create Japanese locale: get a segmentation fault on generating locale

  19. [ubuntu] Re: Internet Browser Causes Ubuntu to Freeze

    You seem to have an uncommon problem with no clear cause and no specific error messages from any log files. It's not surprising no one knows the solution yet. Also, you made a new thread, so not many...
  20. [ubuntu] Re: 10.04 final + intel 855GM + upgrade disaster

    Answering a couple of things:

    Why install a mainline kernel? Because, in my case at least, nothing else worked -- i915.modeset=1 let me boot at last, but I still had frequent video freezes and...
  21. [ubuntu] Re: Internet Browser Causes Ubuntu to Freeze

    I never had Opera problems like this -- Japanese input either works well or not at all.

    Are you using Anthy with SCIM or IBus? For me, IBus doesn't work with Opera or other Qt programs. Ubuntu is...

    Re: HOWTO: Japanese input in qt and gtk!

    Update for Lucid 10.04:

    Ubuntu now uses IBus and no longer supports SCIM. Too bad IBus doesn't work with any Qt-based programs.

  24. [ubuntu] Re: 10.04 final + intel 855GM + upgrade disaster

    If, like me, you can't boot after upgrading to Lucid, and can't boot off a Lucid CD, you need to

    A) get a CD for a Ubuntu version before Lucid 10.04
    B) change your boot parameters
    C) optionally,...
