I had a similar issue a couple of days ago - even after downloading and installing Flash 10 from Adobe the browser (Fx 3.6.8 ) still thought it was 9.something. To fix it I had to:
1) rename a...
Credit to "shallow thoughts" for this.
First the bad news:
The login files changed again in Karmic. The file to edit is now /etc/init/tty1.conf but the line is the same.
The good news:
You...
Do you have an .xinitrc file in your home folder? If not, startx is presumably running your default window manager directly. What window manager or desktop environment are you using? If, for example,...
You could try changing the line in .xinitrc that starts your desktop environment to:
exec ck-launch-session yourstartupcommand
ie precede whatever command you were using with ck-launch-session ....
It sounds as if you've installed just the basic command-line-only system. Maybe you forgot to select one of the desktop setups during the installation process. Two options I'd say:
1)go back and do...
It could be you don't have enough RAM to load the whole .iso file. The 9.10 netinstall option is available now.
Have you tried the "netinstall" option in unetbootin? It's worked for me a couple of times.
Does that repo still work for you? I installed 4.6.1 off it some months ago, but now it seems to be dead. I'd love to find some way of putting xfce 4.6.1 on another Jaunty box...
Have you tried the latest version from Unetbootin's site?
http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
If you run
sudo modprobe snd-hda-inteldo you still see
"WARNING: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.save line 4: ignoring bad line starting with 'grep'
WARNING: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.save line 5:...
No guru here, but first, in case your alsa configuration files are messed up, you might try
sudo apt-get purge alsa-basethen
sudo apt-get install alsa-baseand see if anything has changed.
It looks suspiciously as if you might have some corrupted files in there. Did you try running:
dmesg
or alternatively:
dmesg > $HOME/Desktop/dmesg.txt
and looking for some hint? (It's a lot of...
GDM might not take up a lot of resources once you're up and running, but it can add a few seconds to your bootup time on an older machine, if that bothers you.
I've no idea why you're getting the...
Thanks sertse, that does it!
Yes, and it was great for browsing through some enormous folder of html documentation, or doing a quick web search. In fact, if I can't find a way to disable CSS in Dillo 2.1 I might well go back to...
The comments to that post more or less go along with what you say.
I haven't used either of them, but you might want to check out:
lxrandr

-both in the Jaunty repositories.
Well, of course there's no cast-iron guarantee, and you should definitely back up all important data before doing something major to your system like this, just in case. That said, I've done this a...
I don't know about Sunbird, but my Thunderbird files are in a different folder called .mozilla-thunderbird. My .mozilla folder only contains Firefox material. They've always had separate folders on...
I used Unetbootin to install Ubuntu in some spare disk space on a Win 98 machine with no problems. Ubuntu provides a disk partitioning tool, and installs GRUB to handle the boot options, so from...
Software packaged with Jaunty
I'm not sure if this thread is suitable for problems caused by software in the repositories being updated, but as a result of moving to Jaunty two issues came up:

Have a look at this page:
http://jeromeg.blog.free.fr/index.php?post/2009/03/04/Installing-Xfce-4.6-on-Ubuntu-8.04-and-Ubuntu-8.10
I think 4.6.1 is on that repository.
That's the Openbox menu of course, which might come up with a right-click to your desktop, depending on what LXDE desktop setting you've chosen. You can tie it to a key in the...
Running Firefox as root sounds like a terrifying idea. Just think what you might pick up from the net and which would have free access to your system!
