I just want to agree with the original poster here. I have the same problem at work and being the only Linux user among Mac and Windows users I'm basically standing out as the Linux guy who won't...

Thank you. :-)

Hi,

I've seen previous threads about this, but they're rather old and I can't seem to apply their solution to the latest (10.04) stable release of Ubuntu.

What's the "best" way of changing the...

Is there any way to default the desktop theme in Ubuntu? I noticed that my girlfriends user account which she's never changed is looking vastly different than mine which I've changed in a previous...

OK, here's the output:

$ sudo rm -r $HOME/.local/share/Trash/files/*
rm: cannot remove `/home/magnus/.local/share/Trash/files/*': No such file or directory
I'll assume this means there's nothing...

Thanks for your reply.
Checking the root folder I see that it's almost empty so that can't be it. :(

$ sudo du /root

Hi, I can't seem to delete files using Dolphin. It only claims the trashcan is full, but as far as I can see it should be empty.


$ du .local/share/Trash/

I'm using the Decimal data type so the precision is "infinite" (well actually it's 1000 decimals since I've set the precision to that.).
And removing the verification I get the result described in...

I'm tring to implement Floyds cycle detection algorithm and it seems to work fine for "most" sequences, but I've detected that there are some that it cannot do correctly.

ex.) 1/23 =...

Thanks!
Yes, it certainly shed the needed light on this. However I should use something more foolproof than rounding off the number before truncating it to an integer as the true fraction could very...

Hi,

I'm trying to write a function for finding recurring fractions of an arbitrary rational number, but I get a strange error probably related to floating point precision, but I don't understand...

... now when I try it suddenly works... All I did was take a nap and now it works. Amazing today's technology is :p

Thanks anyways!

Hi!

Today I noticed that I can't stream videos from Gametrailers nor Youtube anymore. Am I alone in this? I can't find any other threads on this subject. I have the mozilla-mplayer plugin...

Thank you!
Though his repository didn't seem to work, I did manage to download the software and with the use of getlib I fetched the appropriate libraries for it. It works fine now. :D

When I plug in my Playstation Portable (PSP) the PSP battery starts charging (indicating that it's connected), but Kubuntu won't detect it as a removable drive. I've gone to Settings->USB Connection...

I tried installing the appropriate package according to:

$ ./pSX
./pSX: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkglext-x11-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory...

I assume none of these are available as packages in Adept? (Couldn't find them)
I've downloaded and extracted PSX, but according to the readme it needs:

Is there a package I can download in Adept...

Hi!

I was wondering which Playstation emulator you recommend for playing on 8.04. I've tried PCSX, but it doesn't seem to respond to keyboard input and just keeps repeating whatever intro is...

Finally made some progress by simply using the default xorg.conf and adding the screen via nvidia-settings. It's not satisfactory yet as the image is only partly visible on my screen. Most of it is...

As the title says. I just made a clean install of Kubuntu 8.04 and this worked in Ubuntu 7.10, but not any longer (I basically copy pasted my xorg.conf from my previous install). What differs between...

Hi!

I can't seem to get any video in my browser (Firefox). I've installed the VLC-plugin, but I often get (no video) when I try to watch e.g) anything from Gametrailers. It works occasionally and...

I think I'll wait a couple of months before attempting to do even a fresh install of 8.04. I ordered a CD and by the time I get it these issues I keep reading about will hopefully be solved.

Hi!

I'm having trouble copying data from one object to the other.
The compiler says: Can't convert from 'const A*' to 'A*'
I'm sure there's an obvious mistake on my behalf here, but I can't see...

I've also been looking for an easy to use front end, but the best I've found are for Windows only. Also I noticed that the latest version of DOSBox in the repository is 0.65 and not 0.70. Why is that?

Yes, you're quite correct. For D = 61 the program takes more than six minutes to compute the answer. For D = 109 it takes more than six hours ! The best way to solve this involves continued...
