I know it's an old post, but people may find this thread through a search engine (like I did).

The solution is not easy to be found: http://androsapiens.com/viewblog/viewpost/52

In short, open...

I don't really want to disable the thumbnailer altogether, running it manually isn't pretty either.

ffmpegthumbnailer would only be a partial solution or could even be worse, every time the...

Well the title says it already. When I'm either encoding, recording or downloading a video and Nautilus is showing the file, totem-video-thumbnailer is behaving like a dog chasing a car: it'll...

I got what I want, it took me a little under an hour, I think. Which is more than a minute. Anyway. As I always share solutions (even though no-one cares), here goes. This is a single-user setup. I...

Because I'm a silly Ubuntu user. I have my home on my SSD so thumbnails and other small files can be loaded quickly (it's a desktop). And for the account I use to login that's perfectly sufficient.

Thanks!

Given your notes, yes, you can set it up in a minute. If you don't have those notes, you first need to read several pages to get it like this.

And there's still something, with this...

This indeed works, but it allows whoever logs in access to the entire filesystem. That's a bit too much really.

Okay, I do need one feature: a base directory the user can't get out of.

I need a...

After many years of using Linux, I'm still looking for this: a simple FTP server.

Something I can just install, enter user/pass/homedir and fire it up. Boom! FTP. CLI/configfiles are okay, but I...

I have a remarkable case of #4. I have a laptop with SiS 630 integrated video. When I downgrade the memory for the integrated video (shared with RAM) to 8MB in the BIOS, I go into the famous login...

Same problem here! Any news?

[edit]The solution appears to be universal again.. "sudo gedit /etc/default/grub" and add radeon.modeset=0 after quiet splash. Save the file and run sudo update-grub....

I registered a branch and thought I could just copypaste my crappy script to the interwebs but it looks like it's not that easy.

Since my crappy ghetto script is probably not worth spending hours...

This guide is written for Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04. Older/newer versions may also work but have not been tested.

Wouldn't it be nice to rip your favourite CD to high quality VBR Mp3 with Rhythmbox so...

I tried blacklisting b44. That did not help.
I tried blacklisting b43-pci-bridge. That was ignored.
I tried un-blacklisting bcm43xx en blacklisting b43legacy. That did not help.
I tried installing...

I just installed Ubuntu lucid beta2, but I'm having no luck getting my wireless card (Asus WL-103b cardbus) to work. It uses the b43legacy driver. I have also installed the correct firmware. This...

After a lengthy search I found the solution at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/197499.

On the server side, use double quotes. Like "/home/blaat/my game files" (mind the...

I have a Geforce 9500GT PCI-e card and installed the 195 drivers from ppa:nvidia-vdpau/ppa. All would seem well, 3D seems to work, but I can't get Powermizer to work.

There are no options...

Thanks a million buddy! In previous Ubuntu versions I used to set a blank keyring password to make it connect by default, but I couldn't find again how to do that in Jaunty. Asked Google "jaunty...

I'm trying to access the storage on a Samsung phone with Bluetooth on Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 with a Sweex BT202 USB adapter. So far, it's not going well.

I've disabled all security and made the desktop...

Add --enable-xshape for compiling. Not a clue why but it works.

After you made a .deb (if you're going to) you will also find you cannot install it because it requires libconfhelper-perl. This...

So you made the upgrade from Ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04, but now where's my nVidia?

I ran into the problem of not being able to enable the driver again. In System > Administration > Hardware Drivers,...
