A few days ago, I submitted a post indicating that I was having problems getting the Epson WF-2540 All-in-One device to print from Ubuntu 12.04. I believe the problem is related to not having the...

I am trying out an Epson WF-2540 all-in-one printer/fax/scanner. I haven't had a lot of luck finding the correct printer driver. I did get it to work somewhat by using a driver for a lower-numbered...

In reflecting on this issue, I'm wondering if it would not be appropriate for us to understand WHY the systray icon feature doesn't work in Ubuntu. For example, here's a link (...

Thanks for the clarification. I didn't understand that the systray icon thing might not work and I was viewing the fact that it didn't as an indication of trouble. Consequently, I never did really...

Again I hate to be the dense one in the crowd.

I installed the Chat for Google extension into Chrome. The browser icon is present and when I hover over it, it says that the status is connected. ...

Wow!! Thanks for all the input.

Having read the responses, I think that I need to clarify a bit. I'm not particularly concerned about notification per se. While a pop-up on-screen notification...

Entering, "notify-send Google ring" at the command prompt causes the bubble to appear with "Google" on the first line and "ring" on the second. So, I'm going to hazard...

I need some help deciding how Ubuntu can best help me use Google Voice.

I keep open a browser instance in which I am logged into gmail so that I can answer incoming calls. When a call comes in I...

Running Ubuntu 12.04. How can I disable session timeout so that I am not automatically logged off? I thought that would be a simple task from settings. It wasn't. I then turned to Google where I...

I just purchased a Shuttle model XS36V and installed Ubuntu 12.04. When I log in, I am able to select between 2d and 3d. I select 3d. However, after the session is initiated, $DESKTOP_SESSION...

Hold on. I'm not sure that this is a viable solution..

It seems that the effect of adding 'nomodeset' to the string value of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT is to force operation in 2d mode. That...

Over the course of the past few days, I have dealt with the issue discussed in the threads cited at the conclusion of this message. We came up with a workaround. I have concerns that the...

Thanks, jerrys. You're post pointed me in the right direction so that I was able to solve the problem (kindof). I'm going to document the fix for others:

You need to be root to do this. Open...

I posted this problem yesterday under the topic of "Video Mode Not Supported". I got no responses. I'm getting a bit desperate.

Basically the issue is this: The computer involved is an HP...

I have been running Ubuntu 11.10 (32 bit) on my HP s7727c desktop PC. It has consistently worked with no problem. Last night, I evaluated 12.4 (32 bit) on this machine using the CD and it performed...

A few weeks ago, I was turned on to Simple Scan by this forum. My purpose was to be able to scan documents and save them as a PDF file. Initially, I loved it. It does all I need to do and it works...

> I just stopped worrying about the debugging setting.

That sounds like really good advice to me in any case where it will work. Unfortunately, I think there are cases where the debug setting is...

As an epilog to this whole discussion, I was surprised to learn that once I got it working, it would work without regard for whether "USB Debugging" was disabled. Should I be surprised at that...

Yikes!! It was a faulty cable! (The cable has been placed in the trash.) I'm good to go. Thanks so much to all who contributed!
