I have just installed the NVIDIA Corporation GF119 on my Dell E6520, running linux ubuntu 12.04. I want to use xorg.conf to connect to an external monitor in mirror mode. But it seems to be hardcoded...

Hi, I'm running 12.04. Yesterday, my systems person was remotely logged in helping me solve a problem. (He was trying to get the gnome-control-center to work successfully in fvwm.)...

Hi Strider22

Was glad to find your question from many years ago. I have all the same issues. Did you ever find a good way to figure out whether the security type is WEP, WPA, or whatever? ...

Hi

I've just set up 12.04 on a Dell Latitude E6520. On my old D630 with Ubuntu Hardy, I got popup notifications from gmail when new mail arrived, provided gmail was open. This feature no...

I finally solved this problem. After the patch described above was installed, lightdm.conf was not being read at all. Rather gdm.conf was calling lightdm! I copied into gdm.conf the lines in...

Thanks for the quick response. I should have posted that I'd tried the override route. lightdm.override exists and says manual, but it doesn't override the gui for some reason.

I've also...

I need to be able to boot into console mode, from where I launch fvwm. It used to be easy to do this, by setting

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text"

in /etc/default/grub, then updating grub. ...

Thanks, I've ordered a five-port extender and will see how it goes!

Having run out of lan ports on my router, which uses 192.168 addresses, I'm now using the LAN ports on my modem as well, which uses 10.1.10 addresses. My printer is installed as 192.168.1.202 but I...

I solved this to my satisfaction, based on help from various sources


In /etc/default/grub I replaced
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text" rather than "quiet splash"
commented out:

Thanks! Well, I'm sure this is what I want, but it's a casualty of this policy of not being able to edit my profile!!! Administrators, is there any way to allow us to set these defaults

Thanks very much for this, looks like it's sorted out now.

Hi

For some reason I'm unable to set a default option where I'm always notified by email when somebody responds to my post. on this forum, I have the option under "Additional Options" to set the...

Hi

I've just installed 12.04, which is nice but a little too automated for my liking.

I would like to be able to boot to a tty login screen, as I used to be able to do in 8.04. After...

thanks very much for the suggestion. I'll give it a try.

Hi, I'm installing 12.04 on a new machine. I've been using 8.04. In 8.04 I accessed my windows manager (either gnome or fvwm) from the command line, using startx. In this setup I was able to...

Hi

I have a logitech K320 wireless keyboard that I'm trying to get to run with my Dell D630 laptop running Ubuntu Hardy. The stupid thing doesn't have a user manual, only a completely unhelpful...

I'm having a similar problem. When I first log on to my static Ip, it sometimes doesn't work, when I try again I get the SIOCADDRT: file exists message. The web suggests a fix::

netstat -r...

Hi I realize that this is an old thread, but hopefully people are still listening, especially Matthew. I'm running Hardy 8.04 on a Dell D630. My sound used to work fine, too well, I couldn't...

I want to be able to specify a directory other than $HOME when I log in via ssh. A clunky but almost-workable way to do this would seem to be to first rcp the cd command to ~/.ssh/rc, then ssh in....

I'm running

Linux D630 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 17:53:40 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux

When I go into matlab I get the error

I have no sound on my Dell D630 running Hardy. Never had any since the beginning, but I do have sound in windows.

The command

Is there a way to move the mouse pointer to a specific location from the command line? I know that one can move it using the numeric keypad, but I want to jump to a specific place.

I'm not sure if this problem is related. I live in
PST but I'm currently in England, so want my clock in GMT. However, ubuntu keeps resetting it back to PST. Driving me nuts! UTC is set to...

A widely reported bug in hardy 8.04 is that when you restart gnome, your
custom settings in System->Preferences-> Keyboard Preferences-> Keyboard
Layout Options are reset to their defaults. ...
