  1. [ubuntu] Re: Guide: Openswan, XL2TP and PPP on Ubuntu Maverick for iPhone VPN Connection

    It works! Holy cow! I don't know why it is so hard to setup VPN on Ubuntu, but I REALLY appreciate this tutorial for VPN beginners like me. I can now VPN to my home network from the road, and browse...
  2. [ubuntu] Re: how do I listen to audio input through the speakers

    Wow, that's not overly complicated or anything. Why doesn't it just f**king work when you turn up the mic volume in Alsamixer?

    Anyway, thanks for the solution. Worked flawlessly.

    Thanks for the fix, lethalfang. Note to other Googlers: I also had to close my terminal window and open a new one for the fix to take effect.
  5. [gnome] Re: SSH Problems -> port 22: Connection refused

    Thanks so much for figuring this out. I was pulling my hair out trying to SSH past my stupid DSL modem, and this turned out to be the problem. I'm using a ZyXEL PK5000Z, for the record, and all that...
  6. [ubuntu] Re: How to disable the automatic brightness adjusting feature?

    Yay! I have had a similar issue on my HP EliteBook 6930p (notorious for a myriad of brightness control issues in Ubuntu). My specific issue was that despite having all software brightness control...
  7. [ubuntu] Re: Choose Application in Firefox shows a file browser?

    I think the bigger problem is that it doesn't work. Often links to podcasts present the user with the "choose an application ..." dialog. Even if you select a valid application (/usr/bin/whatever) or...

    Cheers for the response.

    That post doesn't clarify whether the calls are free (as though I was in the US) or charged as international GV calls. It says "international calls will use your Google...

    Define "nothing" :) Does that mean it ignored you and continued applying the Emerald theme? Did that persist after a logout/login?

    [SOLVED] Re: 3d desktop cube?

    Try:
    sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
    The 3D windows still don't seem to work out of the box, but it does get you closer to the cube you wanted.

    So it sounds like you need Emerald in order for your compiz effects to work (which doesn't seem right to me), but you want to keep your regular Ubuntu clearlooks/humanity theme? If that is correct,...

    Maybe I am misunderstanding your question, but can you simply change the theme in the Emerald Theme Manager (System > Preferences or emerald-theme-manager from terminal)?

    I am curious at what point the system is unable to continue deleting files as a result of critical system files having been deleted. I might have to try this too (in a VM, as matt_symes suggests).
