I'm assuming (but fairly certain) that your main box works fine because it is using open source drivers. Are you using proprietary drivers from nvidia or ati in the machine that is having issues?
Yes, right click on the "I" in your taskbar, go to Notification Settings, and uncheck "File transfers and other jobs". The change should take effect after you log out and back in.
The reason unity doesn't load is because Ubuntu is still trying to load the fglrx driver even though it is uninstalled. Follow my instructions here in order to return your system to using the open...
No. What's happening here is that the desktop is trying to load the fglrx driver, which it fails to do because it isn't installed, which causes Unity to fail, and then the open source radeon driver...
I just dealt with this problem myself. Here is the easy fix for it.
Hit ALT+F2 in order to get to the terminal (ALT+F7 will take you back to the desktop)
1. Remove fglrx related packages

Does valve staff their sales team with children?
I apologize if I'm responding to a dead thread at this point but I am using a motherboard with AMD's SB850 chipset and I have no issues installing Ubuntu 10.10 onto a fakeraid array composed of two...
Tar is the archiving utility you are using.
x = extract
v = verbose (meaning to output file names as you are extracting)
f = file (meaning that you will provide a path to a file at the end of...
just type in vlc
Hotkey problems in VLC
I love how totem handles using mousewheel up/down to change position in a media file. VLC doesn't do it the same way by default so I've been trying to find a way to replicate that feature. I found...
Well now that you are back into your system, backup whatever you need and run the command
update-manager -d in a terminal, or you can go to System > Administration > Update Manager, then check for...
If you haven't already you may want to update to the latest 64-bit beta of flash. You can find it here.
To install it simply extract the archive, navigate to that directory in a terminal, and then...
Theo's points don't make any sense. He always speaks of the BSD license as being more open and free than the GPL, and then complains when code isn't returned. It would be nice if people didn't...
Open Source != free, in fact, I would rather pay for a linux license than be forced to use windows. Porting games isn't incredibly difficult, Epic has one programmer doing all of their OSX/Linux...
Definitely not a rumor

I love totem's gui, its perfect for how I watch videos. My only problem with it is that when I try to play large mkv files it just can't handle it. VLC and mplayer on the other hand have no problems...
Error opening /dev/wacom : Success
(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/wacom
No such file or directory.
Intel's newest chipsets don't have IDE controllers. Manufacturers like Gigabyte / Asus have been forced to add controllers of their own, and they chose Jmicron for that.
But this whole thread is...
Thats because you are using an archiver tied to the gnome environment. A lot of apps depend on it being there. Have you tried xarchiver? If you installed that your problem wouldn't exist anymore. (Is...
You have this concern that because you open up the code, you may no longer run the project yourself. Thats not true, but if you release it under the GPL, others are free to take your code and make...
So do we still hate both of them?
lmao this is definitely a joke
$45 a month for 3Mb/256Kb. Its a rip off, especially for the reliability, but I don't have a choice. When Verizon brings fiber over to SC I'll be the first to sign up.
I never really cared about having multiple desktops before....the cube. The animations help separate the desktops, before it just felt pointless.
