I suggest it's more likely to be another slavic language that uses latin characters. Not Croatian, because that doesn't have the letter 'é', but maybe slovenian or something?

Well 11.04 is still only in beta so there will be bugs. I'm kind of surprised you managed to upgrade accidentally, nevertheless, connecting to the wifi should be the same as in previous versions of...

Hi ricardisimo,

Has literally no-one replied to this thread since 2009?

My goodness. What do you see in the "Font" tab when you go to the appearance preferences (in Maverick I believe it is...

Well YMMV of course. Speaking personally, I almost always know exactly the application I want to launch, so even if it isn't on the panel I can just bang the super key, or hit the BFB, type the first...

I really don't get this complaint. It takes all of 2 clicks and about as many seconds to show all the installed applications (applications lens > see x more installed results) and if you want to view...

Hi deathadder,

Thanks very much for the help! I have tried:


self.pixbuf = gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file_at_size('pyspeak.svg', 48, 48)
self.window.set_icon(self.pixbuf)

Hi,

I am a complete newbie to programming and decided to set myself the task of coding a GTK frontend to espeak in Python, because, well, I wanted one. :P

After a day's work I think I've made...

Hi La cebolla,

I don't really know anything about anything, but if you go to the sound preferences menu (click on the volume icon then sound preferences - i guess it's the same as...

Hi,

I have an 8GB USB flash drive that had recently stopped working. It is recognised by both windows and linux when I plug it in (ie they both physically recognise that a mass storage device has...

Well this is what its graphics look like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7detDcmMKY

There's an addon called hide menubar but I think it comes with personal menu. Hope that helps.

I wanted something that fit in with my theme but at the same time maximised vertical screen space. Fission replicates the status bar functionality in the address bar, omnibar gives it chrome-like...

Abiogenesis only has to have happened once in the entire 13.7 billion year history of the universe to have produced us. Therefore it can be exceedingly rare and only occur under the most precise...

A netbook I can understand, but I really can't see the point in an iPad. No keyboard, awkward to hold and use (you can't even put it on a desk without a separate stand), the screen won't be...

I remember the joys of FrontPage 97; oh the long hours spent messing with it and the horrible, mangled code you got out of it.

I second (third?) Brent0 and JDShu, hitting a large animal like a horse is really dangerous. Was the driver OK?

A common misconception, -ize is the original spelling as it reflects Greek and Latin. -ise is French in origin so really we have to give our Atlantic cousins due credit here as they've got it right.

Kesuga,

Thanks for those links, I'll keep an eye on them.

We'll be safe so long as we don't let Jeff Goldblum near any macbooks. That man is leet. ;)

If he means the OS, insofar as everything will be shifted to the cloud, I think it's unlikely but not totally unreasonable. If he means, as the article says, that we'll all switch to mobile devices...

Hi all,

I love spotify on linux, and under wine it works like a charm, there's just one minor annoyance that (for purely aesthetic purposes) I'd like to deal with. That is, the spotify icon used...

I second this.

Curiouser and curiouser. It appears that showkey in a tty and xmodmap use totally different keycodes, with gnome sticking to xmodmap's version. Perhaps this is expected but it's news to me.

OK, this is an epic bump but I figured there's a lot of potentially useful information in this thread. In Lucid I still have the same problem where the volume slider does not work correctly (ie slide...
