Greetings,

I'm working on a project where we have a Github repo storing a variety of things: LaTeX code for generating reports, datasets and python scripts to mine the data, etc. It's not a...

I'm on 14.04. I have a Netgear router that has a (readyshare) USB port where I keep a 2TiB drive as our home backup. It works well, I am able to mount it in Ubuntu and access it on Windows boxes...

So I had my kids create drawings of each letter and I wanted to generate a quick font for them to play with in LibreOffice of their own handwriting (where every letter looks kinda like batman..., but...

That's great, I knew there were some tricks. However, that seems to muffle everything, including my own information (which makes sense as it is just redirecting everything within this script). ...

I realize this is not Ubuntu specific question, but I like UbuntuForums the most and it's probably a simple question anyway.

I have a script that does a number of operations which all spew output....

So, with 13.04 came Files (Nautilus 3.6). I think the UI part is fine, collapsing all the menu items to the single cog doesn't bother me too much, except in one facet. The HUD now no longer has...

Greetings,

(12.10 64-bit Ubuntu)

If I right click on the garbage can in the Unity Launcher and select "Empty Trash", and then do it again, and then do it again, I end up with stacked dialogs on...

Thanks again, I have opened a bug report on launchpad, so I'll just track everything over there. For cross-referencing purposes, here is the bug report link:
...

Thanks for the reply.

I think the behavior which I originally posted (spread is not working when a window is 'always-on-top') is still pretty close to the current understanding, but now...

Thanks for the replies...I did some more testing. To isolate issues, I did this demo on a virtual machine with nearly default 12.10 installation.

Steps:
1. Open two nautilus windows. Mark one...

Thanks, Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit. Plain old Unity. I am using the x-swat nvidia x driver, though I think that should be irrelevant to Unity.

I confirmed with other applications that once I mark a...

I am having a small issue and was wondering if someone could confirm before I post a bug.

Generally if you have two or more windows of a single app open, and you click on the app when one already...

Thanks, I think it's a moot point by now. I can use the -x argument in an 'if' structure in bash to check for executable, but I'm just calling java with a jar file anyway. I'll go ahead and mark it...

Yeah, I'm not sure about the auto-login on server edition, I've never used it. If your script does not require privileges then adding it to your profile file, however there are several files out...

Can you try a grub boot disk and see if it complains about anything? When you say you get no command prompt, how far does a boot actually get? If you can't really tell because the screen changes...

@TheFu:

Thanks for the reply! I think I might have been a little unclear in trying to be extra-brief.

What I am really curious about is whether there is a simpler way to call the unknown-named...

Greetings, I'll keep it brief:

1. I build a program from source routinely as it is updated. The result of the build is a file that is named
<program>_<version or build number>.jar
2. I have...

This is just a curiousity. I am wondering how others start up their audio apps. Of course there is a plethora of ways, including:


Terminal, duh, I wanna watch all those warnings fly by...
...

Oh, I see, the copy does work, but it also sends Ctrl-C...

Does your shift key work in other apps?

There should be 32-bit and 64-bit versions of all recent releases of the Ubuntu-family of OS's. Just make sure you get the 32-bit and you're all set. Alternatively, your update manager should have...

And it just hit the update-manager, upgrading now! Happy Quantal Day everyone!

This page *just* had the beta 2 tag at the top removed...it's go time! :)

(go time may be interpreted as the start of the release, not Kate's official...

I'm subscribed to ubuntu-release by daily digest, so I guess I'll see that email go by tomorrow...hopefully I've long upgraded by then!
