Does anyone else use a wired, USB, Logitech Marbleman trackball with your linux desktop? I do, and it generally works well, but there is one problem that I have not been able to figure out. If the...
I have been using a Logitech Marbleman USB trackball for several years. Lately, it has developed an odd habit with my Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS x86_64 system: if the trackball cursor does not get moved...
I collect several podcasts using "gPodder", on my laptop, running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x86_64. I listen to them in my car on my Sansa Clip Zip mp3 player. The podcasts from one particular source,...
I have a Toshiba Satellite C55D-A5381 laptop, that would not boot in UEFI mode. It is set to dual boot with Win8. Trying to boot Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS 64 bit would lead to an eternal purple screen. ...
Problem solved: I had to add "acpi_backlight=vendor" to the boot command line. I *never* would have found that on my own. Thanks for the help, everyone!
Another curious event: when I try to boot Ubuntu from the USB, in UEFI mode, instead of just getting a black screen it will, on occasion, give a black screen that then starts to "bleed" white color...

I recently asked the question, as yet unanswered, if versions of CUPS newer than 1.5 support the "columns" option. Starting with version 1.6, the columns option is no longer listed in the...
I use an older version of CUPS. I recently looked at the documentation for CUPS 1.7, and saw that there is no longer a "columns" option. The last version that has "columns" is 1.5. Has "columns"...
I had to set up a wireless mouse on another computer for middle button emulation. I eventually found the "xinput" command, which provides the necessary capability. However, I discovered that if I...
This works even better:
xinput --set-prop 8 265 1
Actually, this works just fine, and is much easier:
gpointing-device-settings
It seems that "\[" does have the desired effect of matching a literal "[". However, when used with the cursed ".{,50}" construct, it does not behave quite the same way as "[[]". So, I will use both...
schragge: thank you for the reply. I didn't know that the {,m} form was non-standard. The man page lists it as acceptable.
papibe: The expression as you wrote it works perfectly. On re-reading...

nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="DFP-0: 1920x1080 { ViewPortOut=1820x1020+50+30, ViewPortIn=1920x1080 }"
Wow. Worked like a charm. I did have to tweak the "ViewPortOut" settings a...
Firstly, thank you for your help. I've done a little more digging, looking at forums related to overscan issues with the Sony Bravia HDTV series. There are references to setting the display area to...
