Just a note, for this to work for me on Oneiric I had to

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib

If you find you need this, you might want to add it to your .bashrc so you don't have to...

I just installed Oneric on my PC and I've found that I can't get recording from the microphone to work. My main goal is getting Google Phone to work but I've found that I can't record in Audacity...

Thanks, erjoalgo; it works great! Just to clarify for those who (like me) aren't really familiar with compiz configuration:


ccsm is the CompizConfig Settings Manager and can be installed via...

Great! Glad you got it solved!

In answer to andre_orwel's question (just in case someone with an rt2860 reads this) I'm not sure whether the driver in 11.04 is the most recent or not, or if the...

Welcome to the forums!

That particular device ID isn't listed on the pcidatabase.com website, so I can't verify for you if that's the right chipset or not.

Also the links you posted are giving...

What happens if you run this from the command line?


sudo /sbin/dhclient eth0

I'm using Gnome on Maverick and I wondered if it's still possible to put a background behind the text on a desktop icon. I know I used to be able to do that a long time ago but I haven't tried it in...

Nice tip, mfecteau! I'll have to remember that one!

I had the same problem. I'm just learning ldap, and I'd done a global search and replace on dc=example,dc=com, but I didn't see that other reference.

Here's a link to the download page for the free version as of 12/14/2010. This page has links for both the windows version and the linux version. I had a hard time getting to the right page, and I...

Well, papibe, I'm looking for a way to do it as a normal user.

Anyway, I totally asked a semi-dumb question. I had forgotten...it wasn't hal that allowed user-mounting of smb shares before; it...

Is there a way for a normal user to mount samba shares from the command line using devicekit? It seems like I remember there was a way to do it using hal, but that's been replaced by devicekit in...

Great to hear you got it working! I believe if you sign up for a launchpad account you can actually edit the community wiki and correct the error. That way, you may save someone else a headache.

If you don't have any /dev/video devices, then I would assume the driver isn't detecting your card properly. I have just been browsing online looking for stuff regarding this card, and several...

I don't know anything about mythtv, but it sounds like you may not have a video device under /dev, or the permissions may be too restrictive.

Try running:

ls -l /dev/video*

and see what that...

It sounds like something may have happened to the image. Can you run an md5 sum on the CD and/or your image file? It should match the following page:

Many older machines do not support booting to a USB flash drive. This may be the case with your emachine.

The first things I would check are the following:


Be certain the bios is set to...

Worked for me! Thanks ubuntologist!

On my computer it actually fails to boot to the cd, but gives the option to press any key to retry. I press a key, and it boots like a champ.

I'd...

Another really good alternative mixer is alsamixer, which runs in a console. It shows a lot of different stuff that the Karmic sound mixer under gnome doesn't; that way you don't have to install any...

Well, today I decided to just try my idea of clearing iptables on shutdown. It seems to have fixed my hang on deconfiguring network interfaces. If anyone knows of a security problem with this, let...

Ubuntu definitely supports microphones. Sometimes it's just a little tricky finding the right mixer settings. I'm not sure exactly what to do in Karmic, but I got it working by playing with the...

You might also look at using FreeNX, which should be faster and give you better video quality. Check out this page for instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX

This uses a protocol...

There are several threads in the forums about karmic not shutting down properly, but none of them were under the exact same circumstances as I'm having.

I'm using 9.10 server-edition as a...

Is there a way to find out what options were passed to configure during the build for a particular package? I am specifically interested in squid.

It was in a transparent squid proxy tutorial I was reading somewhere. I think what that command does is make it so that if someone is using the proxy machine to browse the web, they will hit the...
