So I've been running mythbuntu 10.04 for some time. I don't really want to upgrade because it's my primary TV-runnin' box. It's been mostly great for years, but it's got this one issue that's driving...

Bit more information. It happened a fifth time in the early afternoon yesterday and hasn't since. dmesg tells me that the specific ATA error is "PHYRdyChg". NCQ is not enabled. I ran a SMART...

Bit of a poser here. I'm running a Lucid server with a large mdadm raid array. Roughly every 8 days, I find a message like this in the log:


Nov 19 20:20:16 badwolf kernel: [2817754.853137] ata8:...

I can add that I tried using xinput to disable and re-enable the touchpad, and that didn't fix the problem. I'm trying to work out if there's a software way to reset the USB port since unplugging and...

Does this happen right away, or only after you've been using the machine for some time?

I've got a stand-alone USB touchpad and I've noticed similar behavior but it doesn't kick in until the...

I'm definately having these problems in 12.04. i wasn't planning on upgrading to 12.10 since my last upgrade was so painful I was hopingto stick to the LTSes for now, but compiz is close to unusable...

I'm having the same issue, but I did discover one thing: if I run mplayer with "-vo fbdev:/dev/fb1", mplayer's output does display on the displaylink screen. So linux can definately talk to the...

I'm having the same problem. By copying the contents of /usr/share/themes between machines, I was able to resolve it when forwarding X windows from my lucid server to my precise workstation, but that...

You've gotten farther than I have. Even on the http port, all I get is a blank screen with the ZModo Logo, even running IE under wine.

I was able to find this:...

Unfortunately, I've only got 2 GB, and it's a notebook, so upgrade paths are limited. I actually could probably make do without any swap about 2/3 of the time, but google reader and twitter are both...

Whenever I try to switch between workspaces, the screen flashes several times, and any apps that I was dragging to another workspace suddenly snap back to workspace 1

Thanks for the ideas. I noticed a weird sluggishness even with lots of free memory last night when switching desktops or invoking the task switcher, and that's leading me to suspect Compiz is the...

Hi all,

I recently upgraded my way from Maverick to Precise, which has been a clusterfrak in a lot of ways, but I've managed to tune the thing into a fair approximation of as usable as it was...

Thanks. That cleared up my issue. I did notice that the CPU usage of compiz shot through the roof until I turned off some of the visual effects that defaulted on, but otherwise it's fairly smooth.

Has anyone else experienced this particular peice of weirdness: Once I finally got the desktop cube up-and-running, I tried to carry it over to another desktop with Ctrl-Shift-Alt-Right. The cube...

For me, rlwrap fixed the delete issue, but it rendered all control-key combos, (Ctrl-R, Ctrl-D, etc) useless

I'm having the same issue in mythbuntu 9.04 Running 'eject' from the command line also works to eject the drive, and it appears that if you press the eject button before the disc mounts, it will...

This is an intentional "security" feature of flash, to stop a mallicious app from trying to trick the user into thinking they're being shown a windows dialogue. Of course, it'd be nice if those of us...

I'm occasionally having issues with a system running Mythbuntu 8.10. Every once in a while, the system will simply lock up, completely solid. It stops responding via the keyboard, mouse, or network,...

So this "solution" doesn't really fix my problem; changing the permission on the user's home directory to 755 makes the error message go away, but now the directory isn't writable by anyone other...

After a few hours of fighting with X, I finally managed to get my dual-head display working again after the upgrade to 8.10 -- I'd expected the display setup to be a problem, so I wasn't too bothered...

I just found nvtv, which seems like it ought to do the thing I want (specifically, it's got a "turn tv output off" option), but it says "No supported cards found" when I run it. Can anyone confirm...

I've got an nvidia GeForce 8300 that's hooked up to use DFP and TV-out as separate X screens.

What's driving me crazy at the moment is that I can't seem to get independent control over the DPMS...
