I don't know! It's all got so confusing, that stuff. If I have installed Gnome 3, is there a simple way of getting back to something sane?

What is going on with Ubuntu 14.10? What used to be Nautilus (I don't even know what it's called now - the 'About' menu item has disappeared) and Gedit have no maximise/minimise buttons. Moreover,...
Updating the kernel (I'm using 3.14.4-031404) sorted it for me. Now I have no further problem with bluetooth and the Bose Mini-link.
Yes, that's it; working perfectly. Fantastic one-liner, and handles spaces in file names, as you say. Many thanks for your help.
Ha - you are quite right, ofnuts. My code hasn't isolated files size 300x300 at all! Also, I had to sed the files to remove spaces before running my script. Now, I'm going to start again and try...
Ok, here's what did the trick, identifying all .pnf files size 300x300 pixels and moving them into another directory:
#!/bin/bash
while read -r file; do
mv -t "./NewDirectory" "$file"
done <...
I've now tried that but it's not doing the job. The identify command outputs not just the file name but a long string of other information, so it's not suitable for feeding raw into the do loop.
Can anyone help me with thi? I want to search the directory tree for all .jpg files, use Imagemagick's "identify" command to find all those whose size is 300x300 pixels, and move such files to a...
I am unable to get a bluetooth connection to a Bose Mini-link speaker from My Lenovo X1 Carbon laptop.
lsusb shows that the bluetooth adaptor is "Broadcom Corp. BCM20702 Bluetooth 4.0". Bluetooth...
Re build quality, I have no complaints with the Carbon X1. Re dual booting, I tried that myself by attempting to unallocate Windows drive space, but couldn't get that to work. The problem seemed to...
That did it - I've now got Ubuntu running, having overwritten Windows.
Changed the USB drive to another make, and it now boots!
Not the end of the problem, though.
Tried to install Ubuntu alongside Windows. Let me reduce the size of the Windows partition, but the...
Thanks; I've checked all of these to avail, except that the USB flash drive may be the problem insofar as it's a Sandisk, like the hard drive - the machine could be having problems with that. I'll...
I made the same USB boot drive with Mint Cinnamon 64, and put the Carbon X1 back to Lenovo's factory condition. I get up the Boot Menu and it gives me the choice of booting from the internal Sandisk...
I can't get the Carbon X1 to boot from Ubuntu on a USB flash drive. I've switched it on to Legacy boot, but to no effect. My USB flash drive is ok and boots fine on another laptop. Has anyone...
I'm running HandBrake 4913svn (x86_64) on 12.04 and trying to rip from DVD. HandBrake starts to encode, and a few seconds later announces 'Encode Done!' - which of course it's not. Anyone...
Not for me, it hasn't. I've been trying to find a fix for this for over a year, with no success.
Sometimes you hunt and hunt for a solution - in this case to a problem I've experienced many times over the years with Symphony on 64-bit linux - and suddenly you hit on someone who has set out the...
No, I am not using any tweaks.
And the latest oddity I've encountered is that the 'rename' right-click facility if greyed-out, thought it nevertheless works.
I've got a recent re-install, using 12.04, and no tweaks whatsoever.
uname -a ->
3.2.0-24-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 21 16:52:17 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
It's strange the...
Why is Nautilus so unreliable? There's always something with it. For years it has refused to refresh directory contents - what's that about? Then it crashes when dragging files from one window to...
Yes. Here it is:
root@TonidoPlug2:/media/disk1part1/Indi/off_office_NAS# cp -r /media/disk3part1/* ./
I wish to copy a directory structure from a USB drive to a sata local drive. I get the following error message for a number of files:
cp: cannot stat `/media/disk3part1/mydirectory/my_file-name':...
Thanks for all the help on this, particularly nolo above.
Here's a recap:
Nautilus scripts work as normal in Unity. Locate scripts just as with gnome - in the directory ...
Just joined the Compiz broke my Unity club. It's kinda frustrating that major manglings like this are allowed to exist in a release. It's the sort of thing that gets Linux a bad name.
