I see the exact same behavior you are describing. Since the binary update-motd is no longer part of the update-motd package, I can't get it to update, either. There's no binary for cron to execute,...

Referencing bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599181

The above has seemingly been patched and is valued at highly critical. It's an incredibly annoying bug that I've submitted in...

Not sure, but I'm also using a Logitech M505 on my laptop that is also a synaptic touchpad and it's running ok.

Normally I use 'netstat -an' to determine if a daemon is listening on a specific port. The excerpt of this command below doesn't list things like vnc (5900) on ipv4. It DOES however show it on...

It looks like gnome-screensaver is no longer a dependency for ubuntu-desktop. Looks like we can just apt-get remove gnome-desktop now without affecting ubuntu.

Could you elaborate, good sir? I'm having the same issue.

I'm migrating from a Windows PC to an Ubuntu desktop setup. I have approximately 200 SFTP connections that I'll be migrating from UltraEdit to .gtk-bookmarks. Editing .gtk-bookmarks is easy enough,...

Is there a way to just tell samba/vfs not to use syslog and use its own logging instead?

I'm looking into setting up logging for Samba that logs every file downloaded, uploaded, renamed, deleted, etc, etc. It's currently working, but I'm trying to get it to output to...

Simian Man, the real purpose was to give users a valid reason why they would NOT want two users to have the same UID, that's all.

I couldn't find an answer, so I did some research.

Have a list of a bunch of Ubuntu users, perhaps purely for ssh utility or to allow friends to sftp in, but don't want them to show up in the gdm...

The major culprit in your issues is the video chipset. Sounds like it's an intel 915 or something. Confirm/deny?

my FN+F11/F12 keys are changing the HDA Intel Capture device instead of the Alsamixer. Now, Alsa is what will change the volume output of my laptop (Asus eee) so of course that's what I want the...

Can it safely be reduced to 0, effectively freeing the entire partition to be used by normal users?

below is the output of 'df'. My understanding is this:

Avail + Used = Size. is this not the case? Please look at /dev/sda7. It shows 868G total, 823G used, that should leave approx 45G free,...

I'm seeing identical results to you, bud. 2 SSID's here at work and no less than 8 when I'm at home in my apartment and I can't get any networks to show up at all. This is with network-manager or...

I had the issue where it does not work after compiling fresh drivers. After you rename the rt2870sta.ko file from the existing 2.6.27 (or whatever) kernel, to use the file that you just built from...

I'm now following this thread as I'm seeing the exact same thing.

noapic doesn't work for me.

I'm running Ubuntu 9.04, desktop with all GUI elements disabled. It's a headless system and while I know I SHOULD be running server edition, this works well for my purposes.

My issue is when I...

I'm converting some wma files to mp3 at the command line and I want to take the tags with them. As it stands, I can't find a way to strip out the individual tags. Anybody know of something I can...

Any ideas? I cannot force it into gigabit, even though I'm using cat6 cables (have tried multiple cables), it's a gigabit switch, and a gigabit NIC.

Better late than never, right?

Did you upgrade to gigabit? If so, what kind of performance did you see?

New information!

I can use the below command after a reboot and it will switch to gigabit speeds..... for awhile. Once it switches back to 100 mbit, if I try to use ethtool again, it takes a few...

The router is a single IP address. To connect to an internal PC, you need to tell your router how to forward a port.

Port forwarding is like this. The router says "I have a connection coming in...

I have a small fileserver. It's just used for myself and my wife for convenience. It's also used as a media server for our television.

I'm running it with Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) on it.
