I was running 11.10 and the "recommended" gutenprint driver for the Canon MP780 worked brilliantly including duplex printing. Now, in 12.04 duplex is not allowed.

How can I enable it in the...

I have a new android device that uses mtp and I have it set up with a udev rule, and an fstab entry but I would really like it to behave like a usb stick where it mounts when I plug it in and...

I'm not adverse to other players. I like VLC except I cannot use the arrow keys to skip forward and backwards.

The main thing is that Totem will play the iso files fine on two machine and not on...

Thanks for the replies.

libdvdcss2 IS installed and I did follow the instructions in the second reply about libdvdread4 before posting. No effect. Totem for some reason will not play the DVD...

Hey all,

Just upgraded 4 machines from Karmic to Lucid. 2 of them I used synaptic to install ubuntu-restricted-extras and two I used apt-get from command line. The synaptics will not play a DVD...

Hey everyone,

What's the current best practice for automounting a remote drive for automated backup? I want to use Back in Time and maintain snapshots but it can't do that remotely so I have to...

Hi,
Recently, iPhone support was added through iFuse and it connects up just fine and Rhythmbox now sees my non-jailbroken iPhone! YAY! But Rhythmbox won't help me organize my videos which is stupid...

Everybody always glosses over this part:

With a standard ubuntu install this isn't trivial and I'm not sure how to proceed. It seems that when you ssh into your machine, .bash_profile is executed...

Well, I seem to have fixed it. After many, many different trials this is SPECIFICALLY what did it:

Use Compiz-Fusion icon to set to metacity (compiz was already selected remember but not active)....

So you're telling me that compiz will not autostart for you and you have a key sequence to enable it?

I too seem to have this exact problem in that compiz was starting up just fine until I...

Thanks for the reply. But if I enable extra effects, Compiz is no longer in effect. If I re-enable Compiz using the fusion icon, then the extra effect radio button is empty (in fact all three are...

Hey,

I had my system working fine with compiz and the rotating cube and all. I went and demoed the wobbly windows to someone but I did it by going to System/Preferences/Appearance and enabled...

Are we talking simply some proprietary offerings as packages included by default (codecs, java, flash?) or including as part of the base linux system some proprietary technology?

I like their...

I was able to get Ustream.tv working although not 100% reliable.

I installed the latest 64bit alpha flash plugin from adobe: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_64bit.html
Went to...

It's something wrong with Ustream. Check out this site:

Streaming using Flash works fine there and I'm using the 32bit wrapper. I did have to toggle to Metacity to get...

Hey all,

Something has just quit working and I'm thinking it's Vbox related. In my setup, I have a folder with various media files in it (pictures, music, movies). I have another folder that I...

Hi all,

I had a very good routine for video ripping in Jaunty. I would use totem-xine to view a DVD (disc or MOUNTED iso) and in the side pane, it would show me the title and chapter numbers that...

My SB Audigy 2 was quiet as well. I launched alsamixer in a terminal and scrolled over to turn on the analog output since only SPDIF was enabled by default. There was no option for doing this in any...

It's not just pdfs. I have the same problem with png, psd, and mp4 so far. I'll keep a tally and check launchpad for known bugs...

Hey all,

Does ubuntu not consider using NX a "login"? I ask because when I connect with NX (to a Karmic server), it immediately prompts me for the keyring password to unlock my ubuntu one...

I can log in fine but it asks for my password whenever I ssh to this (and only this) machine. My public and private keys are installed correctly but I seem to remember getting some kind of keyring...

No numerical extension on mine on the desktop or in the .gvfs folder. Just the .iso.

I used to use the one of the mount gui's but it was tiresome entering the password all the time and it got out...

My solution was to turn OFF Nested Paging. It was the source of all my high CPU usage with Vbox and thus the heat problems.

Word of warning: The GPU + 2 cores CPU can overwhelm the cooling...

I still haven't gotten this fixed but it's been on the back burner. I'm pretty sure it's a keyring password issue. Is there a way to throw out the old keyring and start a new one? Will it cause...

Question:
I recently tried out the Open with Archive Mounter option on the nautilus right click menu to mount and iso file. In the past I used a script or I used
sudo mount -o loop file.iso...
