I've solved the issue, though the solution is more of a work-around than a proper solution.

I've added the following line to /etc/rc.local

gdm start

I'm still not sure why there is no call...

Unfortunately, the solution suggested by 316479 still doesn't appear to have fixed the issue...

I switched to gdm after an issue with lightdm. Now, if I try starting with lightdm (via "sudo...

I'm running 12.04 currently (probably should have mentioned that). I haven't logged into these forums for ages, so that's why it's still showing my old distrobution. If it helps, the following...

Hi,

Following the update to GDM today, the display manager is not launching automatically when I start my computer. Instead, I am thrown into a text shell. I am able to then start GDM by typing...

After a bit of digging, I've found that uncommenting
GRUB_TERMINAL = "console" in the grub configuration file does seem to remove the splash instantly after leaving the boot menu.
But it also...

Hi,
I have previously managed to remove the bulk of the Ubuntu 12.04 boot splash screen (by removing the "quiet splash" line in the grub configuration file), but the purple splash screen still...

You can do one of two things:

sudo chmod a+w /var/www into the terminal)

2) Point the server to a different directory. This you...

By default, only the root user has write access to /var/www.
Is it possible to point lamp to read from a different directory? Much easier if you have it reading from a subfolder in your home...

Yeh. I have been actually trying to get an agp graphics card to replace it, because of all the trouble it has given me. But the only one i've found doesn't actually work so I'm sorta stuck with it....

I have just noticed that some interfaces will not display fully in 800x600. Is there at least some way to get a virtual screen resolution (or possibly just a way to re-size the window so that I can...

Thanks :D

editing the grub.cfg time-out has allowed me to successfully boot in Ubuntu again.

I think I will stick with the 10 second time-out. however, I know I will need to edit the...

using the usual method of mounting all my file systems under /mnt/root (/boot to /mnt/root/boot) and then running chroot /mnt/root would not let me run update-grub. the error message:...

I guess I will need to go about mounting the file systems with the live CD. Where should I mount What?(note that I have a separate boot and home partion)

hi

I have accidentally changed the grub timeout to 0 seconds. My default boot is also set to windows xp so there is currently no possible way to boot into ubuntu. Could someone please tell me how...

SHIFT-DEL permanently removes the files. and now that I think about it, all those files appear to be from my "data" drive, which is not permanently mounted.
anyways, your guide was a lot of...

for some reason every time I try to delete the files in /home/.trash-0 as root they just re-appear when using the file manager. by using the terminal it works fine, but not using the GUI. also, why...

looking at the file about my trash, it seems as though all the files I thought I removed completely (even by emptying my trash) a long time ago are still here. the issue now is that every time I...
