Has anyone managed to install OS X Guest in VirtualBox under Ubuntu? I've wasted 3 days trying to accomplish this by following various tutorials around the Web, but none seem to work for me.

Giantmundo thanks for the input. I don't think that's the same problem as mine, since I'm able to get the login screen, and I do see my Desktop. It's the surrounding Unity 'chrome' that's missing....

I've upgraded to Raring last night. The upgrade itself went okay, no errors. But when I rebooted the computer afterwards and logged in to my Unity session, all I could see was the Desktop background...

Or you don't have to disable all the Compiz effects. All you need to do is to change the Widgets Layer shortcut in the CCSM: Open CCSM > Widgets Layer > General > Toggle Widget Display > Change to...

dino99 thanks for the reply. I also found that resource and I've read it completely. Unfortunately, it doesn't say anything about my question. Are you sure you've found any useful information for me...

I wasn't able to find a solution for this one, although I see it's not a new thing. I haven't experienced it before, it just started happening half an hohur ago. Apparently it's Intel graphic...

Strangely enough, this problem has occured on my Acer laptop with Precise 12.04. Just wandering if anyone has found a solution yet?

There's a pretty neat tutorial for Apple users on this page. Basically, the guy creates a bash script and then runs it with an alias from an application which is very similar to GNOME Do. I'm pretty...

Rexilion it seems to be fixed by some update. I think it's back to normal... Weird :-k But thank you so much for your time and good will. Much appreciated!

Here's the output:

$ dpkg --get-selections | grep -i screen
gnome-screensaver install
gnome-screenshot install

Rexilion you're a star.

Here's the output of sudo dmesg, and here's the output of cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

I hope I didn't make any mistakes.

Rexilion thanks for the reply. I'm afraid this didn't tell me much. I'm still not able to fix my issue.

If screensaver is started on my computer, I can't get the display back again. No matter what I try, the screen remains black. All I can is hard restart computer to get it back to run. what can be the...

I can share my experience with you. I've been using windows for 20 years before I tried my first Ubuntu. And it took me about 15 minutes since I first saw its login screen to fall in love with it,...

Sounds like a hardware problem to me. You should have your computer checked for hardware malfunctions.

It is not enough to just simply add a language of your choice.

If you open System Settings > Language Settings > Language, you will see a list of all the available interface languages. You need to...

drmrgd thanks for the help. I've managed to edit fstab and make the partition automount. However, now all the files and folders on that partition with non-latin (cyrillic) names show only question...

Hi all,

I'm trying to set up Ubuntu on my girlfriend's laptop. I want to have an Administrator account for me, and a Standard User account for her, since she's not experienced with Linux. But I...

I did and it was checked (enabled). Apparently it was a bug which was later fixed, but I've already re-installed my Precise.

Never underestimate the power of 'update-grub' ;-) It can make or break yor day some time.

Have you tried
$ sudo update-grub?
