I bought a used Wacom Cintniq 27, and it works fine in Ubuntu 20.04, as long as I unplug and re-plug in the USB after the machine has booted up (before or after login doesn't matter). If I don't do...

I have a laptop with a touchscreen, and while the touchscreen works in Ubuntu 16.04, it's missing a couple of essential features. Namely an easy way to right click and and easy way to scroll. Is...

I've written a longish blogpost about how to configure the ThinkPad Yoga 12, under Ubuntu 15.10 here. http://ragnarb.com/configuring-thinkpad-yoga-12-with-ubuntu-15-10/

I hope you find it usefull.

A big update here. ):P

I've got my ThinkPad Yoga 12 more or less working the way it should. I forked spin.py, and did a lot of changes, to get it working almost as smoothly as under Windows. You...

I thought I would add some additional info to this thread, even though I've yet to get everything working smoothly on the Yoga. I'm running Ubuntu 15.10, and on it most things are working, but not...

Do you libvdpau1:amd54 and vdpau-va-driver:amd64 installed (assuming 64 bit here)?

And have you tried non-propriatery codecs, e.g.

I've got a ThinkPad Yoga 12, that I'm trying to get the screen "folding" sensor to work on. In the syslog it output unknown keyode e058 and e059, and that I should use 'setkeycode e058 123' etc. to...

I'm just going to reply to my own post here. ):P

It seems the uvm package is included in one of the other packages. So with nvidia-modprobe installed, CUDA works as it should, and the...

There is no nvidia-352-uvm package in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, while there is one for older versions of the driver. Does this mean the NVIDIA Universal Memory features have been packaged in the nvidia-352...

Thanks for the information. Since 15.10, which comes with kernel 4 so should work out of the box, is just a couple of months away, I decided to restore Windows 10 on it for now. It also gives me a...

I got the ThinkPad Yoga a few days ago, and have installed Ubuntu 14.04 on it, but am having some issues with it.

Firstly, changing rotation or resolution, logs me out almost every time. This is...

Is there still a pressure issue with the Wacom pen in Krita and Inkscape, that tthorb mentions on around page 3 of this thread.

I'm considering getting this laptop for drawing, and need accurate...

Running all the tests on http://www.geeks3d.com/gputest/ gives me on average 54% better results on the GTX760.

I'm looking into this. Currently Nvidia delivers the same driver for both Quadro and Nvidia cards. I tried downloading the driver for Quadro K4000 and GTX 760, and they were binary identical. So...

Just a minor update. "sudo update-app-install" is not available in 12.04, but "sudo update-software-center" works instead. It updates the data shown in the Software Center.

After logging in and...

Since I'm not getting any replies, I'm just going to answer this myself. :)

I seems like both the Dash and Software Center look in /usr/share/app-install/desktop for "Apps Available to Download". ...

I'm making updated packages of graphics software like Gimp and Krita for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and am having some trouble getting them to show correctly in the Dash. The Dash will still show Gimp in Apps...

Just a quick reply. I've found that if I try to compile software that needs ligbl1-mesa-dev (e.g. OpenColorIO, Krita and more), I need that symlink back. A quick "sudo apt-get --reinstall install...

I've found a solution to this problem with Maya crashing when either trying to make a new file, or opening a file. It seems to be because of this bug.

The package libgl1-mesa-dev creates a symlink...

If I'm not mistaken /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so is a symlink to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so and is installed along with libgl1-mesa-dev. Accodring to this bug report, it's an error...

I updated the script posted a few pages ago. Save it as waspect and make it executable "chmdo a+x waspect". You can throw it into /usr/local/bin if you want to make it available systemwide.

It's...

For new users, you could in theory save the changes to /etc/skel/ This gets copied to new users home folder when they are created.

For existing users, I'm not so sure.

I've looked in the postinst script for the kernel, and it seems do be just running notify-reboot-required, just like me. So I'm guessing there is somethign that checks for the...

I'm setting up remote management through Cfengine3 of some Ubuntu 12.04 boxes, and want to be able to notify the user that a reboot is required by turning the little cog wheel in the upper right hand...

You're probably right. :) I tend to overbuild things a bit, in case the company one days grows in size.
