Hey guys,
I'd like to install/use Ubuntu on a work computer. It's a Dell running Windows 7 on a pair of disks configured for hardware Raid 1.

It's a 1 TB disk with over 600 GB of free...

I also need help with this. Thanks.

That .deb file worked. Thank you! And thanks for the explaining the "configure" script. The archive that I downloaded didn't come with one. How would I use CMake, since that's what the git...

Wow, you must think I'm really stupid.

See the command that you copy-pasted for me? It has a "./configure" bash script command. I don't have that on my computer. And you just said earlier today...

Yes, ./configure is what I was referring to.

The program I am trying to compile and install is the Pixie Renderer. Information about installation on UNIX is here:...

I am using Ubuntu 12.04. Somehow my install is missing the "configure" bash script. How do I go about installing this? Thanks.

Thank you for posting this.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity. I went to "Tweak Tool" and under "Desktop" I ticked on "Have file manager handle the desktop". I do not know why that was turned...

I've asked this question before (http://askubuntu.com/questions/193827/white-lock-screen-in-gnome-3-4) but no one seems to know the correct answer.

The Ubuntu 12.04 lock screen is supposed to look...

I am having the same problem on the same motherboard. I have Ubuntu and Windows installed, but this problem is now preventing me from booting Linux. :-(

I actually did a reinstall of Ubuntu (unrelated reason) and upgraded to the latest Nvidia driver (295.20) and now my dual displays are working flawlessly. False alarm, I guess?

OK, if I go into Nvidia settings and swap the positions of the monitors, apply the settings, and then swap them back without reloading with alt-F2 and pressing 'r', then it works.

It's really...

Just an FYI:
I've discovered that the desktops behave as they're meant to--icons appear on the secondary display--until I open the first window. So the minute I open a terminal, for example,...

I am running Ubuntu 11.10 with the Gnome 3 shell. I have an Nvidia GTX 285 GPU. I have TwinView setup and working well, so that the monitor on the right is my primary, and the one of the left is my...

I'm using a Dell Latitude E6400, 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo, 6 gigs of RAM, the Quadro NVS 160M.

Windows 7 is faster in all respects than Ubuntu 11.10. It's kind of depressing. I really like Gnome 3,...

I don't think that I have compiz installed. I'm just using Gnome 3...unless Compiz is somehow magically built in.

Hello,
I have a laptop running Ubuntu 11.10. I use the Gnome 3 shell (I hate Unity). Every since I upgraded to 11.10, I've been unable to mount any kind of USB device, whether it's an...

Yeah, I get strange lags like that too...however, they're becoming more and more infrequent. They're intermittent at best...which makes them really hard to diagnose.

I get the most significant...

Hey everyone,
I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 and I installed Gnome 3. When using Gnome 3, launching the terminal causes a 3 second lag before the terminal launches. The system actually just completely...

Hey guys, thanks for all of the useful tips. I was wondering if anyone knew how to change the color of the text in the shell's calendar so that each event matches the color of their respective...

Hello,
I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 on a Dell Latitude E6400.

I've found that the Indicator Applet Complete doesn't save my settings. For example, when I login the "Indicator for VirtualBox"...

I upgraded my Dell Latitude E6400 laptop to 11.04. It's a totally fresh install. Ever since then, when the CPU gets warm the fans go on like they should, but at full speed. It's all or nothing. ...

OH wow...I had no idea. Thanks again for the help!

It's not something I can take a screenshot of.

And it IS normal behavior. I'm not saying it's a problem, I'm just saying that in Ubuntu 10.10 I had it set up so that the wallpaper never moved...

You're awesome. Thanks so much. :D

Sorry, it's difficult to explain.

It should be related to the workspace switcher option. Basicaly, imagine the wallpaper doesn't move when you switch workspaces. All your windows slide by as you...
