I have the same problem with a Fedora machine at school. It may be confined to browser-based downloads. If I use ftp or wget directly, I can put the download in background and log off and the job...
Yes, it's in the launcher. In fact, it appears to be working now. I recently switched from Chrome back to Firefox. Maybe I just needed to reboot to get the launcher to detect windows correctly.

I'm unable to retrieve Firefox windows once I've minimized them in 11.10. If I try to use alt+` it shows me the terminal windows, not Firefox windows.
Is there any way to retrieve minimized...
Epiphany -- I plugged in a spare monitor into the VGA port and then I was able to see once the system booted. I'm in the process of trying to fix a system that really seems to be messed up. Right...
I recently applied updates on my Ubuntu 11.04 machine. Due to problems in the past I've gotten used to running boot-repair after every update to ensure my machine will reboot, but this time it...
Success!
After turning off the laptop, I pulled out the USB drive and turned the laptop on again to make sure the screen was OK. At the GRUB menu, I reinserted the USB while I mulled over what to...
My bad -- I screwed up creating the USB boot. It now recognizes the boot drive, but when the installation program starts, the graphics are far too dim to see what I'm doing even if I shut out all...
Well, I tried creating an 11.04 USB boot drive (my netbook doesn't have a CD burner), but the laptop never recognized it -- it kept cycling through the GRUB menu as usual. I'm going to try burning...
Yes, boot-repair was one of the applications I downloaded last week. I guess I just need to get a boot CD/USB before I can use it (my machines came with Ubuntu already installed). I'll give that a...
Recently I've run into an intermittent problem with Ubuntu 11.04 (linux 2.6.38-13-generic) where the Grub menu appears and the 8-second timeout does not activate. When I hit Enter to initiate the...
Thanks! I'll give those a try and report back.
I've got alsa-base 1.0.24 right now. Any particular driver I should try to add?
I should mention that this happens with all audio, not just the audio portion of videos. For example, if I listen to Pandora, I can hear the music just fine, but singers' voices are muted. The...
I've got an annoying problem with the sound on my Eee. It seems that no matter what video player I use (VLC, mplayer, Totem) the sound through my headphones has extremely loud "background" music but...
Argh! RTFM. My /tmp drive has only 8GB. I'm rerunning the sort now using -T to point to the 80GB drive. :rolleyes:
I've been trying to sort some large files, on the order of 15GB in size. These have all unique records, so the files should not shrink once sorted.
Running the sort command on an 80GB disk with...
Thanks! I'll give that a shot. It would be nice if there were a switch somewhere in the bashrc that I can toggle.
bump?
I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 Natty with a bash shell. I've always liked auto-complete, but it has an awfully annoying behavior. If I use an environment variable to point to a directory, such as:

I don't know much about ACPI. I'll start looking into it, but if someone can provide some additional guidance, I'd appreciate it.
I've got a Dell Optiplex desktop that I use for entertainment such as streaming video. However, when I run streaming video from some sites, the screen goes black after 10 minutes. I've checked all...
I'm having the exact same problem. I have everything listed above installed on my machine running 11.04. I have completely removed and reinstalled k9copy. It will start to back up a DVD, but after...
I've noticed the same (unwanted) behavior: move a window to the top or bottom of the screen and it maximizes. If anyone finds a fix for this, please post!
This must be platform-specific. I've tried multiple logins on an ASUS EEE netbook with both Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop and Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook. No problems with multiuser on those.
Comparing the...
Holy crap -- I decided to go methodically through all the apps in Netbook Remix and stumbled onto the pulldown menu on the Login Screen Settings dialog. At least on my computer the options are:...
