Anyone else have an idea why this is happening?

I had to force quite again, but no error message came up.

I tried going into my Music folder today, which I have set to List View by default, and I couldn't access it. Nautilus would lock up, and I'd have to force quit. There are currently 2,412 files in...

Ah, thank you!

After a bit more research, it seems that the problem is with cron running a gconftool command. The gconf line at the end of the script, when run directly in a terminal with the full path of the image...

Ok, so part of the problem was that I was using root's crontab instead of my user crontab. This wasn't a problem before when I didn't have a separate home partition. So I fixed that problem, but...

Yesterday I did a fresh install of my system, but this time, instead of putting everything on one partition, I decided to make separate root and home partitions (root is mounted as / and home is...

Thank you! That does exactly what I want.

That's close to what I'm trying to accomplish, but that method still requires restarting X. I think the xrandr way is what I need to try and figure out, but suited to my setup. Thank you, though. I...

I read through that, but I'm not sure how to apply it to my situation. In that thread, the person only has one screen active at a time (either his laptop screen or his external monitor). For me, I...

I recently hooked my television up to my computer as a second monitor so that I can watch videos on it. However, I don't always want to be in dual monitor mode. I've found that running "gksudo...

I had a feeling that could be an issue, especially since my monitor uses a 16:10 aspect ratio.

Great to know! Once I get the TV I'll give this a try.

I do have an nvidia card and the proprietary drivers. Glad to hear this sounds like a pretty simple thing to do. Thanks!

Ah, thank you! I didn't even realize that option was there.

I'm not quite sure I understand. Are you saying that instead of plugging a cable into both of my DVI ports, with one port going to my monitor and the other to my TV, instead I should just use one DVI...

I'm planning on getting an HDTV soon, and I'd like to be able to hook it up to my computer so that I can watch movies on it through my computer. I don't want to have dual monitors in the traditional...

Still looking for a good adapter. I'm thinking about the TRENDnet TEW-424UB right now.

Anyone?

Thanks!

Any other suggestions?

I have had absolutely nothing but problems with my current usb wireless adapter ever since 9.04. I'm using an Asus WL-167G and the RT73USB driver. The connection is horribly slow, often cuts out, and...

Any ideas?

I've considered a new adapter, but I'm wary of non-USB devices because I don't know if I'd get sufficient range because of how my desktop is situated. I might just have to try a different brand of...

I can't begin to describe how frustrating this issue is. Wireless hasn't worked correctly for me since 9.04. I kept thinking with each release it would finally be fixed, but it never is. I'm almost...

Anything?
