    Do not post your problems, please raise a support thread.

    Keep in mind, that Linux is infinitely customizable, you do not have to stick with Unity as a desktop environment if you do not want to.

    I'd suggest you check the Release Notes, for the version you are using, before posting a bug.
    Thanl You

    If you are suffering distorted 'scratchy' sound with Skype 4 you can fix it by:
    Code:
    gksu gedit /etc/pulse/default.pa
    and changing the line: load-module module-udev-detect
    to: load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0

    Sound will be OK after reboot.

    Hope this helps.

Wonder how this passed through QC.
    I'm there at the moment. Found that I can still use terminal and firefox. So, I'm hoping that installing the linux-headers will get me out of desktop hell.

    You have to remove the drivers via sudo apt-get --purge remove and then install the headers and then the drivers.

    Ah. Thanks. I assume that this is the correct way to remove them then? :
    Code:
    sudo apt-get autoremove nvidia-*
    sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
    sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.orig1
    sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    But I might as well install the NVidia closed source drivers, while I'm fixing stuff anyway.

    Yes and install via hardware drivers and select updates instead of regular as that will keep you up with latest from nvidia and the packaging is not disturbed.

    Hey guys, I'm new to the forums, this being my first post. Just installed Ubuntu 12.10 six days ago and I encountered a problem with the standby function: even if the screen setting to turn off when inactive is set to 1 hour, my screen turns off every 10 minutes. This is extremely annoying when I am watching videos on Firefox/Chromium. Did this happen to anyone? Is there any way to fix it?

    In system settings>power management, set the screen off to never.

    It was like that before I switched it to 1h and it still turned off, I forgot to mention it in the first post. Still can't figure out why it is happening. Thank you for pointing it out.

    12.04 Release Notes

    5th Bullet Point.

    Its built into Network manager now.

    Running a local DNS caching server where your resolver is localhost or 127.0.01 may speed up DNS resolution but may also pose potential security risks.

    You may do the following to disable it if you dont want it used, though it doesnt appear it to be caching by default (you can test with the dig command)


    so


    Code:
    sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
    (the above is case sensitive so capital N)

    and comment out the

    Code:
    dns=dnsmasq
    line then do a


    Code:
    sudo restart network-manager
    Peace
    As haqking posted in the bugs/workarounds for 12.04, this apparently still applies to 12.10.
    And as CharlesA had added:
    Verify /etc/resolv.conf does not say: nameserver 127.0.0.1
    Code:
    cat /etc/resolv.conf
