The silence is ominous.
Could it actually be impossible to mount a .Private directory backup outside of its original machine due to bugs or bad weather?
I'm attempting to test recovery of a ~/.Private directory which has been rsync'ed to my backup server. I still have access to the original working ~/Private for comparison.
I am unable to mount...
In a cafe now, annoying the hell out of everyone around me because Ubuntu beeps under mute everytime I do a failed Firefox page search.
The blacklist method works for me now, but let me just say...
I am also experiencing this horror. gnome-terminal does not work over an ssh forwarded X11 connection with 9.04.
GConf is a terror.
What registry entry do I set to go back to 1998?
Why Tor fell out of Jaunty.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tor/+bug/328442

Okay, found the "Shut Down" applet in "Add to Panel", and now I can suspend.
I have two power buttons on my panel - a red round one for logout, and a round grey one for "power" and suspend, etc....
I have the same issue after a clean install of 8.10, but using a home directory partition from 8.04.
Searching for "can-suspend" and "can-hibernate" in my gconf-editor cannot find any keys.
How...
I am also having this problem, exactly as described, on a Dell E1505n "Ubuntu Laptop" with Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG, using up-to-date Hardy, kernel 2.6.24-18-generic #1 SMP.

I also am unable to play the cnn.com LIVE feed, with the same "Unsupported Platform Error". Can't the HTTP browser ID string be forged to look like Windows?
I am on up-to-date Ubuntu 7.04 with...
I made an unfortunate type-o in the thread title...obviously I meant "Poster". *sigh*
I often want to print a large format image on multiple sheets on a normal printer, and tape or paste the sheets of paper together to make a poster, banner, or sign.
I have never found a way to do...
I spent some time trying out various tools from the repositories for monitoring network traffic. I was just looking for something simple, preferably console based, that would show instantaneous...
I had a similar problem, but more complicated. I think I may have actually encountered a bug in upgrading to dapper? Here are my notes and a fix;
I've seen this described on a few forums...
I couldn't find any Ubuntu-specific info for getting one time passwords to work using OPIE. Turns out there is a needed option in sshd_config. Here are my notes that got me working on Dapper:
