Everything else is working fine after the upgrade (I think) but I still have the old-style greeter. How do I switch to the new Unity Greeter? Is there a way to reset everything to defaults?

talks about using the add-in, 'ImportExportTools', rather than the built-in importer

Thanks, George! The new add-ins feature did the trick for me, as well. I installed that 'ImportExportTools' add-in, then used the Import Mbox function (with the 3rd option for search all folders,...

Me three. Giving up on Ubuntu, actually, and after 6 years of generally happy times. Just too many bugs like this which never get fixed -- even when I report them.

I wasn't implying my keyboard tray constituted a bug :-) I was wondering if the OS should be able to tolerate a 'stuck' key without crashing.

What about reprogramming the Keyboard Shortcut for...

I have this ongoing problem wherein my kids will shove the keyboard tray back under the desk, pinning the keyboard. The way the bracket is positioned, the Print Screen button gets stuck. When I go...

Thanks, that worked! Of course, it also started a chain reaction of other weirdness but after several restarts everything seems to be normal again.

Not sure if my Unity config is buggo? Just upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10-beta1 and now all my windowed apps/windows have no borders. So I'm unable to move or resize anything. (Actually, some...

Nope, that discussion is over a year old. Ubuntu 10.10 already includes Xorg 1.9 and 11.04 is obviously newer still.

Running Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit on an AMD BE-2300 w 4 GB RAM and Nvidia 8400GS video card. Proprietary Nvidia driver v260.19.06. I assume the problem is some incompatibility in the nvidia driver?!

You should be glad you got his copy of Windows up-and-running again, at all. Can't you just re-run the installers for those apps?

As for alternate forms of repair, you didn't really give us much...

Thanks for the clear instructions! Which version is this, though? I was hoping to find a PPA somewhere so that I would automatically receive updates.

Also, do you know if the Ubuntu/Linux...

sounds like a problem with scanning your music folder(s). Are you able to copy the music files off the ext hard-drive, even just some of them? Do the programs crash if the ext drive is...

Additional Issue:
I discovered that it also skipped my secondary Contact list.

I recently reinstalled my computer with new hard drives and Ubuntu 10.10 (AMD64). Before the switch I used the 'Backup' function in Evolution to backup all my email and email settings -- I thought! ...

I realize the HD 2600 is physically capable of h.264 acceleration but there's a lot more support under Windows than under Linux; that's what I meant.

I followed-up and checked the ATI/AMD...

I don't think you can do it with your hardware? I thought that only the HD3x00 series (on up) were supported for h.264 acceleration. I might be wrong, though, so check around.

If I've installed the proprietary Nvidia driver via the built-in 'Additional Drivers' (I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit), will it ever update my system to the newer versions?

He's probably thinking of the so-called 'Fake RAID' that a lot of after-market motherboards offer. I think a lot of people have shown that pure sw-raid works better than Fake RAID, so hopefully no...

Install from the Ubuntu Alternate CD, then setup both drives with matching 'raid' partitions, then choose Setup Software RAID, combine each matching pair and use ext4 (the new default, btw).

I have a relatively new 10.10 (AMD64) setup. I believe I first installed it around the Beta 3 or RC 1 and only as a test setup? Now I'm running it as my main workstation and with both my wife and I...

I would assume you have the path and/or filename wrong?
