I'm a Ratel owner and recently did a complete reinstall with the new 14.04. I installed the Nvidia driver as directed
sudo apt-get install system76-driver-nvidia but when I bring up the System76...

Actually, at the time I wasn't. I have switched to proprietary driver and that seems to have solved the problem. Thanks for the suggestion.

I just upgraded my Ratel Performance (ratp1) to 13.04 and I've started having a problem with minimizing windows. It is sporadic behavior so I still haven't isolated the cause. Sometimes, when I...

FYI: I was having this problem and came across this bug in the NVidia driver, reported on Launchpad.

This may be a little too simple for what you're after, but I recently discovered wxBanker:

It's lightweight and does exactly what I need (though not much more,...

Very useful! Thanks!

1) Any news on a ppa?
2) What about the ability to hide the icon in the notification area? It would be nice if it could run invisibly)
3) Any progress on integrating...

You can change the close/minimize behavior through gconf-editor.

Open a terminal and type in

gconf-editor

Then browse to
apps -> rhythmbox -> plugins -> status-icon

Set status-icon-mode...

Looks like the guest option has appeared with the updates from today.

I've been testing Lucid and realized the other day that there is no "guest" option in the user switcher applet. I can select other existing accounts from the applet without any problems but I've...

I fixed the problem by reinstalling all Qt4 packages. Something must have gone wrong during the update.

Thanks. I'm already running the beta. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the package but that didn't fix it.

Yesterday I installed some Qt4 updates on my Jaunty machine. I booted up this morning and tried to start Skype and it dies with the following error:

skype: error while loading shared libraries:...

Sounds like Compiz is not enabled. Try going into System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects and see whether "None" is checked.

I have that as well. I think it's included with the Thunar file manager so it may have to be installed from Synaptic.

Bulk rename is a good graphic utility but for command line solutions there...

What kind of renaming do you need to do? Are you just changing the file extension? Converting the names to all caps? Changing each file to a unique name based on a pattern? Depending on the...

I've been having a similar problem. Try the fix in this thread. Hope it helps.

Wouldn't your CLASSPATH need to be followed by '='? i.e.


export CLASSPATH=.:$HOME/3515:$HOME/polargimp/3515/mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar

It appears that this issue has been fixed with recent updates (2/16/09) to gvfs in Ibex.

I successfully got pam_mount to work but I had to configure things via pam_mount.conf. What sort of problems are you having? I can post part of my pam_mount.conf if you think it would help. I'll...

The script will not work for the same reason that Firefox doesn't work; I can't delete the lock file at all because it's a symbolic link. Any other ideas?

Any takers?

I just did a fresh install of Hardy in VirtualBox. When I run anything apt-get (install, upgrade) in either the terminal, synaptic, or update manger, building a dependency tree hangs at 50%...

I was afraid of that. Thanks for your help. I knew there had been some major problems but I was hoping there was a way to hack my way out of it.

Luckily, I have my trusty old laptop with Hardy...

Yes, this is a client. I don't have access to the server's smb.conf (by the way, I replaced the name and server for privacy, but I can ping the server just fine).

I don't know enough about the underpinnings of either toolkit to have an opinion but I definitely HATE the file->open dialog in VLC. The main VLC interface looks alright in Gnome, but they've got to...
