Update: I noticed that I must have forgotten to install lxdm -- the default login manager for LXDE. That gets included in one of the panels by default (or it's relatively easy to add to your menus)....

I don't know WHY it worked, but when I did this: "sudo pkill X". that killed the X session and brought me back to the Unity session to login. I'm still going to have to figure out how to deactivate...

And how do you set user accounts to require a password at login? I'm sorry to be dense, but I can't seem to find this information.

And LXDE only gives me a finite number of apps to add to the app...

i think I set my default window behavior in unity so as not to require a login. (ANd indeed, I notice that LXDE automatically starts me without login -- although it requires that I unlock the...

Hi, there, I changed window managers from Unity to LXDE, and then I screwed up. I accidentally deleted the main toolbar -- the one that shows you Start button which opens up applications.

I am...

I am buying a new laptop this weekend, and I want to dual boot/wubi with Ubuntu 12.10.

Are there any videocard families I should avoid? Are there any new hardware features which I should expect...

I am an author who is currently working on more than one book.

I want to mention a piece of software which is pricey, but it definitely works well on Linux (and as online application).

Well, looks like I had another Nautilus crash. Two consecutive ones.

The time I just described was a directory listing crash.

For this time, I clicked on a video file twice to launch it with...

I have been having frequent crashes on 12.04, and 5 minutes ago something directly as a result of Nautilus.

I have never had so many crashes on a single OS before. happens at least once a day. In...

I should emphasize that my system crashes don't occur always as a result of video/Unity problems.

For example, I just tried making updates to Eclipse editor and everything froze and crashed. I...

Traditionalist, thanks for your reply, and purely by coincidence I stumbled upon your thread about ati drivers.

I just wanted to throw out that I've been getting lots of random crashes on 12.04 with my Radeon 2600HD card.

Using the utility in SYSTEM SETTINGS, i was able to load the proprietary FGLRX...

Arisp, this is helpful information. I suspect that if it's Compiz, that will be fixed more quickly.

I really don't know where to begin troubleshooting the fglrx proprietary drivers for Radeon. Or...

Just to clarify: I'm not asking this forum for what the solution is.

I'm just asking for how to collect crash data, how to recover from an X server crash.

Sorry to be so trollish, but in my...

I have 12.04 and it works great. But I've noticed intermittent crashes that freeze the screen. They have been happening more frequently on this version of linux than any I have ever used.

Thanks for your reply and your thoughts about crashing and automounting.

I mainly had this happen when I was trying to run dropbox or RhythmBox or the video player when the hard drive needed to...

First, I believe I read a long thread about why the nautilius-dropbox package was not a good idea. (There was a path error, plus i think it was at the recommendation of dropbox people...

Hi, there,

I'm having problems setting up dropbox so that it autostarts.

First, I am NOT using the Nautilus Drop which you can download the software center.

The reason is that after doing...

Hi, there I installed the latest ubuntu on one of my drives. Within nautilus I can see and explore various NTFS hard drives from my dual boot windows.

At the same time, I'm getting a lot of...

Update. This $25 USB wifi card worked out of the box. Awesomeness!

this problem was solved after I installed with an internet connection. grub worked -- no problem. Awesomeness!

Can't you connect to the internet with a cable? It's always best to start off with a wired connection especially when you need drivers so your wifi can work.

Practically speaking, I can't use a...

Thanks for your help. This information was useful.

I'm going to summarize what I learned and what I decided. Tonight I will try it out. (If there are problems, I'll add remarks later on this...

Willee-Nilee, thanks for your help. Boot Repair Live CD might be the answer.

I'm working on upgrading my wifi adapter, so maybe I might have Internet access again before I solve this problem.

Hi, there, I just learned during the install that my usb wifi 802.11n adapter Linksys AE 1200 does not work in ubuntu 12 unless you try ndiswrapper.

Ugh! Can anyone recommend a usb wifi adapter...
