    [ubuntu] Re: Unreliable keyword layout in 13.10

    A full reboot shouldn't be necessary. In my case I have two similar keyboard layouts configured, and switching to the other and back is enough to get the keyboard working correctly again. Irritating,...
  2. [SOLVED] Re: Are Ubuntu Ireland's update servers ever working?

    It's been a long time (years) since I had any trouble with HEANet's mirrors, and I use them at home and at work all the time.

    What's happening when you try to update? Do you get an error, no...

    Re: IVodafone mobile broadband in Ireland

    Ideally you shouldn't need to install the software. With the Huawei from O2 I just plugged it in, waited a moment and it prompted me for a few simple settings and the PIN. With Ubuntu, it should be...

    Re: laptop without windows in Ireland?

    The only hassle-free success I've had was with netbooks. I've found that even when the website shows them (like HP a year or two ago when I last looked) it turns out they're not available in Ireland....

    [ubuntu] Re: Broken Packages

    If package "x" is broken, that usually just means that it needs other packages installed to work properly. In your case, you should install the tango-icon-theme-common, tango-icon-theme, and...
  7. [gnome] Re: SOLVED: Workspace Switcher "Shrinks" - only occupies the top half of the space

    Thanks!

    That's been bugging me for a while. I wasn't able to fix it exactly from your instructions, but I pointed me in the right direction where I found an odd entry called "applet_5" that didn't...

    Re: laptop pre-installed with ubuntu

    It's hard enough to get a "full-sized" laptop with Linux pre-installed, but many netbooks have it. The Toshiba NB100 (8.9" screen), for example, is available in Ireland (including on Elara), and has...

    Re: Free at last

    The Irish Linux Users' Group (ILUG) meet up sporadically, usually in the Long Stone pub in the city centre. As the name suggests, it's not an Ubuntu-specific group.

    Re: ubuntu-ie logo

    Actually, I think I like the last ones, with the original Ubuntu colours and the word Ireland attached. I'd like to suggest two changes, if I may. First, the green, white and orange layers are just a...

    Re: ubuntu-ie logo

    Personally, no. In many ways, I think the less detail in a logo the better, as it looks better when scaled down (in an .ico on a website, for example).

    Re: ubuntu.ie -- IP theft?

    As far as I can see, it has nothing to do with Linux, operating systems, or computing, and since Ubuntu is an existing word (rather than an invented one) I don't think there's a problem. As I...

    Re: Is Ireland goin downhill fast?

    Our economy has expanded to a substantial degree due to the housing "boom". This sent money around in a rapid circle, accelerating the economy in all sectors, but of course this fuelled inflation,...

    How much do you use Ubuntu?

    Just out of curiosity, I'm wondering who here uses Ubuntu (or another Linux) at home, at work, or both? At the moment I use Ubuntu on my own desktops (at home and in work), but others in work still...

    This would be the same Fianna Fáil who had the Irish presidency of the EU sponsored by Microsoft and exacerbated the EU software patents problem? ](*,)
  16. Re: General Gripe about the Microsofting of Ubuntu and Linux in general.

    The UUID is a unique identifier that is embedded in the filesystem. This means that even if you physically move the drive that the filesystem is on, the operating system will still find it. So if you...
