I figured it's not there when you use GDM or KDM (no idea about other login managers). I use LXDM and that gives this issue. I'm keeping track of...

So you upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 too? Then it would appear that's the problem. Somewhere in the upgrade, this problem arises. I have a clean 10.10 install at work and that one doesn't give a...

Ok, I figured out it's a bug and should be fixed according to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/guake/+bug/621927. But when I check the output of 'env', the TERM variable is linux, not xterm...

Anybody?

Since the upgrade to Xubuntu 10.10, I'm having issues with Xfce4-terminal. When I use aptitude, the home and end keys don't scroll the list to the top or bottom. With vim, it generates input of...

So that means that Ubuntu is still shipping an older version of Mplayer, instead of a more recent one? Too bad. I was hoping they would use one of the recent SVN builds and keep that up.

Gonna...

Ah, yes, now that I read it again, I understand it better. Sorry to have doubted you.


Same here ;). I've tried it, but some things are quite hard to understand, especially when they use 'easy'...

I already found out that checkinstall doesn't list the dependencies. Had issues with that in the past when I made packages from source before with that.
Since I have a minimal installation, this...

Andrew, do you know what happens when you run two commands as one with &&? You might want to change the howto to use ; instead, as with &&, the next command will be used no matter if the previous one...

Yes, DVD playback can have a few odd effects, but I was more worried about the actual workings of the menus, especially selecting the audio and subtitle tracks. It didn't always work for me.

As...

Any idea about DVD playback with Mplayer? It's been experimental to say at best with the repo versions. What about the SVN one? I like to have a system that is as slim as possible, so installing...

You can use DNS for this, but you need to either alter the one you have already, or set one up for the entire network to use. If your router is the DNS server, you usually can't alter it's database,...

In VirtualBox, you have several networking options to attach your VM to. When your VM gets an IP of 10.0.2.15, with a default gateway of 10.0.2.2, it means that you attached it to NAT. This won't...

I believe this happens because HAL is not installed by default now. I have the same issue on Xubuntu and it will only work if I install thunar-volman (Gnome has a different package that does the...

With the latest version (3.1.0 and above), you can have more than one optical drive for the VM. Simply shut down the VM, open it's settings and add it on the Storage section.

Reinstall the PUEL version you got from the website. See VirtualBox FAQ for more information about your error. It also handles lots of other questions you might be interested in.

Using the old Grub is not a good idea. It's best to just stick with Grub2. You can fix your Grub2 bootloader the same way you used to do the old Grub loader. Not much has changed for that part.

I don't have that problem on my Xfce desktop, so you must have moved your mouse a pixel down or something to select the first item, 'cause it's not happening for me in Thunar nor on the desktop....

Read my reply and the link to the Wine AppDB. It's described there. What's so hard to download the JRE from java.sun.com, start the installer in wine and follow the onscreen directions?

Wine stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator, so calling Wine an emulator wrong. It doesn't 'emulate' anything, it's a wrapper for API calls. It translates the MS calls from programs to that of Linux.

Can't you add custom actions to Nautilus? If so, then add the custom action to run 'gksu $1', or whatever, to start a program that way. Open files can be done with something like 'gksu gedit $1' to...

Check if clipman is installed. If it is, run it. It should ask if you want to run it on logon, accept that. A new icon will appear in the tray. Right click, select Properties and clear the checkmark...

You can't really start things remotely like that. You have to either connect to the existing GUI session like with VNC, or set the remote display option with ssh. To get your program to run on your...

It depends where you picked your hibernate option, because the screensaver can be responsible for that. If you set it to fade to black and activate the screensaver when it's told to lock, and the...

Remove xserver-xorg and all related packages. You could have also just picked the server install ISO and install Ubuntu Server. That doesn't install GUI either.
