Hi guys,

After lots and lots of digging, I think I've found a solution! I will explain it below, but let me start by mentioning a couple of points that made this problem what I consider a somewhat...

Hi, thanks for replying! I hate to sound picky, but here's why I need the black bars:


The main game I'm trying to get to maintain aspect ratio is Warcraft III.
If I change the in-game...

Hi, thanks for the reply! Yeah, in this case it is a Windows game in Wine. I imagine it would do the same thing either way, but haven't been able to test that so I'm not sure. Also, I don't know if...

Hi,

I have a System76 Wild Dog Performance with an NVidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti. I'm trying to figure out how I can make fullscreen apps (games) maintain proper aspect ratio. I'm using a monitor with...

Hi guys,

This issue has been fixed in the 3.2.0-27 kernel as mentioned in the bug report. Marking thread as solved.

Thank you developers and community! =D

Hey guys, I found a bug report on launchpad describing the sound issue we are all experiencing:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1013183

Hi all,

In Ubuntu 12.04, after performing an upgrade that included a kernel update, I no longer have any sound. The sound worked fine before the upgrade. Oddly enough, if I plug in headphones I do...

Sounds like you are trying to send parameters to the script. These are already stored in the special variables $1, $2, $3, and so on, for the first, second, third, etc. parameters, respectively.

To kill a process by using the PID, you can use the kill command with the -9 switch, for example

kill -9 1234To find out the PID of a running process, I usually use the command

For Lucid, Maverick, and Natty you can use the Firefox stable PPA, see https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable. However, it doesn't seem to support versions older...

Hi there. Try this:

Ctrl+Alt+ARROW, where ARROW is the corresponding Arrow Key to go from your current desktop to the desired desktop.

Hi there. Try this, it works in most browsers:

The white squares issue that was happening with wine-1.2 seems to be fixed in newer versions of wine. Currently running Guild Wars with wine-1.3.21 and the footprints now appear just like they...

Using a regular terminal works for me. Onoku, at any given time the terminal is in some directory (when you open it it should be in your home folder). I'm pretty sure the "sh: can't open hon.sh"...

Getting this thread back on track though (it's about Shadowgrounds), I also have the menu screen go all white. This happens to me both on Ubuntu and on Windows.

I imagine it's because of my...

I had the same problem with Gish a while back, where the screen was all gray with a white cursor. Turns out that the problem was that Gish doesn't like being run from a different folder; if you cd...

Hi,

Don't forget the quotes also, see post #9. But I think you will still have problems because I tried to wget the link you provided and I got an error. I'm not sure what magic the firefox addon...

Okay, so, for ordinary files, wget should do the trick. And I also noticed a way to only need your password at the beginning and still avoid using a root session. If you run the sh command with...

Yes, you can use the wget command to download a file from the web. But the URL you see at the top of your browser when watching a youtube video is not a URL to the video file itself, that's the...

Ok I see, makes sense. Unfortunately, I don't know how a script might be able to tell when firefox is through downloading. So if it were me, I'd probably just overshoot the estimated time (to avoid...

Another alternative is if you know how long you need to wait until shutdown, you can specify the number of minutes for the shutdown command. For example, let's say you want to shutdown in 2 hours,...

Hi,

Are you downloading from the terminal or from your web browser? I ask because you can invoke the shutdown command to have the computer shutdown automatically.

Use this to power off the...

I have many games installed and now my Games menu doesn't fit on my screen. Thankfully, the menu nicely handles this by allowing me to...
