Ok, after going through a bunch of plugin installs and still failing, I found a fix that makes me feel like a total dolt. My netbook has a key for the webcam that lets you turn it on and off. If I...
I'm having the same problem. Cheese and Skype both won't recognize my built-in webcam, and I get the same terminal output as carega. Cheese worked fine before this started just today.
bump!
The download is a zip so it doesn't install smoothly like deb packages. I extracted it with the archive manager but get the message "There is no application installed for executable files"...
I want to bundle some applications into a ppa on Launchpad and have absolutely no experience in building ppa's or deb's. I'm just an ambitious end-user who wants to make some software available to...
You can also stay in Classic display mode and avoid using Unity entirely, though I don't know how far into the future Ubuntu will support Classic. Just select it from Login Screen settings...

I downloaded Grub Customizer to my Peppermint partition and it worked perfectly. Thanks!

I had been monkeying around with the Grub file and forgot to sudo update-grub. Once I did it, the error message telling me to run it as root went away.

In 11.04 Natty is there a way, through the settings, to select a different default desktop environment for each user account? I have multiple accounts and would like my main account to have Unity,...
I just talked to a friend & fellow Ubuntu user and he said to look up the logs. Here's what I found in auth.log from right before it happened, again, about 5 minutes ago. Hopefully this can help...
I've got Ubuntu 11.04 on a Lenovo ideapad S10-2. Every now and then (approx. once or twice a day), the screen will go black and show six or so lines starting with "stopping..." or "starting..." and...
Hello, I'm Travis from Richmond, IN. I started using Ubuntu in 2006 and never looked back. Does much happen for Indiana Ubuntu folks? BTW, I'm launching a Richmond Linux User Group. There's a new...
Hello all, I've been using Ubuntu since 2006. As soon as I moved to Richmond, Indiana I found a bunch of folks running Ubuntu, yet only recently did it dawn on me to start any kind of user group....
