Is there an easy way to do this without creating an xorg.conf just for one option? I've grown...weary...of FGLRX' shenannigans, but I can't get Vsync off using the Radeon driver - CS:Source for...

Right-o. This last time, I was in Chromium browsing through the Steam autumn sale when XScreensaver's lock dialog popped up and the machine went to sleep.

I've got it set to never go to sleep...

It hasn't happened often, but very occasionally my Aspire 5560 will just up and decide to go into sleep mode. I haven't found anything interesting in syslog, there's a few lines about anacron a...

Thanks, but I got it figured out a while ago. Should you decide to give up on UEFI, I discovered that if you remove the efi directory from the Ubuntu installer (either make a USB stick and remove it,...

From personal experience, I would recommend against using UEFI on this machine (I also have a 5560). For whatever reason, running in UEFI mode causes the system to hang at boot every other attempt....

NOTE: This only applies to systems with Windows NOT running in EFI mode, which I would wager is most of them, as running in EFI mode seems to result in unstable boot behavior, at least on some...

I just wiped the disk, reset to MBR and clean-installed both systems for BIOS mode. Both boot fine from GRUB in MBR.

Stick a fork in it, it's done.

Like I said earlier, the drive is CURRENTLY partitioned using GPT. I have both systems installed in EFI.

Originally, the system was running on MBR, with Windows operating under BIOS. I went the...

I just had a brainwave. Renaming the efi directory on the usb install media forces the Ubuntu installer to run in BIOS emulation (brings up syslinux purple thing instead of the UEFI grub menu), which...

I get full GUI in both systems. Everything functions once the system manages to load. I'm not sure if the issue is with the firmware not properly handling UEFI-enabled OS, or the UEFI-enabled OS...

Still havent attempted key-sorcery during the freeze, but here's the results of bootinfoscript:


Boot Info Script 0.61 [1 April 2012]


=============================...

haven't tried that magic key combo yet. didn't think to do so (only had to use it once in almost a decade...didn't really come to mind). I'll try that and post the results of bootinfoscript next time...

SO, after a rough couple of days learning the ins and outs of UEFI and installing Windows 7 to a GPT disk using a ghetto-rigged generic install media, I now have a sort-of-working dual-boot setup on...

I've just gotten a new Acer Aspire 5560 notebook, which has a UEFI firmware (Phoenix SecureCore Tiano, I think). Got Ubuntu installed (still working on getting Windows up in EFI mode). Boot menu...

This should pretty much just work out of the box (aside from needing to install the mp3 encoder, of course).

I found an old post from '08 that recommends installing libcdio-utils, maybe that will...

That bloody RT kernel is most of the reason why I stopped messing with Ubuntu Studio in the first place. Honestly, I haven't noticed any increase in latency or any less responsiveness using the...

Also, there's a bit of a learning curve for doing audio stuff under Linux (nothing really difficult, just a different way of working with things than under Windows/Mac). Google around or search the...

I'd wager it's a hardware compatibility issue, specifically with the integrated graphics on that APU (while the hardware's been out a bit, Ubuntu tends to pick a kernel a couple months before release...

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dssi-vst/+bug/898218

Currently, dssi-vst lists wine1.3 as a dependency both in Oneiric and Precise, which sort of breaks things since that branch doesn't have (or at least isn't compiled with) support for JACK. This...

Glad to see someone else wondering what's going on here. In the interim, it seems the version of LMMS in the repo (4.10) plays a lot more nicely with my Windows VST instruments than it did in the...

Just wondering if anyone could shed a little insight into this. DSSI-VST requires wine 1.3 as a dependency, but wine 1.3 has no jack support. This pretty much breaks the whole purpose of the program,...

Found a Guitar Hero branded (same as Logitech Vantage) USB mic, and plugged it in to my system running Natty. Showed up in lsusb and Sound prefs as Logitech USB Microphone as an input-only device.
...

I've upgraded two of my machines to Natty and am experiencing an abnormally long login time. Booting from GRUB to GDM is roughly as quick as Maverick on both machines, but the login time from GDM to...

That's pretty much the gist of it. I've got an older machine set up in the living room as a media center/guest pc, with a Linksys wireless card based on the BCM4306 rev.03, running Karmic with b43....
