I was trying to change privacy settings on my computer and realized I have exactly the same problem: missing privacy and landscape settings. The other computer I upgraded at the same time (and...
My Asus B50A has been plagued by this problem since 2009 when I bought it. In that whole time I've tried lots of unsuccessful fixes. This one has worked like a charm. Thanks a mighty lot!
Did you update recently. I'm experiencing similar behaviour after an update and I suspect it could be related to this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1634162
And as quickly as I experienced the problem I found at ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1852081&page=3 that:
synclient TouchpadOff=0
fixes it for me!
I'm also experiencing the same problem today. My machine has been perfect until now. HP Probook 4330s running Ubuntu 11.10
For those experiencing the EFI partition error I think it is possible (in theory at least) to run the installation in a real or virtual Windows machine, then copy the required files/folders from...

I've the same issue; the only way out has been to unmount before suspending. Problem is, the reason I have the SD card permanently in is to automatically run regular backups on projects I'm currently...
See my reply #23; I succeeded in getting this done after blowing away the original partitions.
Reading through this whole thread so far, this is what I was able to glean, which I did and worked at the first attempt:
1. Create an NTFS or FAT32 partition of at least 1.5GB and give it a boot...
If you already have Plymouth installed, this trick, from elsewhere in this forum, worked for me:
In the terminal:
sudo pico /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
then insert the text:
This worked very well for me, and actually reduced my boot time substantially. The echo command was failing, though, even with sudo, so using the terminal I manually created the file:
sudo pico...
I completely switched about 2 years ago. I've never been a gamer so I don't quite understand what gamers miss in Linux. My favourite desktop environment is KDE although I usually install Gnome just...
I found a 3-step solution here that does not involve kernel patching, that worked for my Asus B50A, Ubuntu 9.10, KDE: http://radu.cotescu.com/2009/11/05/flipped-images-ubuntu-webcam/#comment-896
I use KDE on Karmic. I had the same problem; installing gnome-user-share fixed it:
sudo apt-get install gnome-user-share
SCRATCH THAT!
This has fixed my sleep/hibernate too! I just closed the lid on my laptop, and voila, the Beethoven that had refused to play until now stopped and the standby light came on!

Thanks. This has worked for me. I did a clean install of Karmic last week, and it has been perfect until a few days ago when all sorts of warnings started popping up about the sound system.
Then...
Try these steps:
1. Press the key combination Alt+F2 to invoke the 'Run' dialogue
2. In the dialogue type 'konsole' (without the quotes) then press 'Enter'. This should start the console.
3. In...
Same problem here after a recent upgrade. Reinstall doesn't work but the downgrade nails it perfectly. Problem is having to ignore Adept Notifier. Thanks a lot to the great minds of this forum :)
