Guys, if you are really interested, you can apply a patch to xf86-input-synaptics to get the double tap to work. You can also apply a kernel patch to get the LED to work (along with additional...

My existing setup:



/dev/sda1 boot
/dev/sda2 win7
/dev/sda3 recovery
/dev/sda5 swap
/dev/sda6 <to be: ubuntu (luks)>
/dev/sda7 arch (luks)

I just got a new HP Envy 14, installed Ubuntu 10.04. The thouchpad has a little LED in the top left corner that if you tap is supposed to disable the touchpad (and the LED turns on).

What are my...

The echo command inserts a newline at the end. You want to call

echo -n "STUFF"

One piece that remains unanswered though, is how to efficiently handle situations where the NFS server is not available. This is important for roaming laptop users who might want their home directory...

Pinch zoom seems to work from the live version, but not once fully installed. Is this an xorg.conf thing?

To be honest, I really don't like tsclient. It's just a wrapper for the rdesktop command. You might be more sucessful if you check out the manpage for rdesktop and build the command yourself.

Here...

Where are you trying to paste to? You should only be able to write to your home directory.

Check out filesystem forwarding in the 'Local Resources' tab. When set up, your local filesystem will appear on the Windows computer you've connected to.

~$ grep $USER /etc/passwd
matt:x:1000:1000:,,,:/home/matt:/bin/bash
~$

The text in bold is my home directory, if it isn't set properly it will mean bad things for me. The fact that the command...

I'm not sure what that /dev/shm mount point you have is, but it's full.

As far as "grep $USER /etc/passwd" not returning anything, that is bad.

You typed the command wrong before, the file it's passwd (just 'wd', not 'word') So:

grep $USER /etc/passwd

DeMus had a good suggestion too. Try posting the output of
df -h You may have done...

To be honest I had trouble even making out what your problem is from what you wrote above. Just start your own thread =) Try to be clear and specific.

This isn't related to the original post.

Hmm, does anyone know if this means X11 thinks that / is his home directory? The-ITu, can you verify that your home directory is /home/username in the file /etc/passwd?

grep $USER /etc/passwd

Well, it could have something to do with the permissions on .Xauthority (but I guess not if you tried starting with a fresh home directory)

You could try from recovery mode:

dpkg-reconfigure...

It could have something to do with the files and/or permissions of your home directory. Have you tried booting into recovery mode? When the computer is booting the grub menu should list it for you.

I hope this works for him, but I'm still troubled by the fact that the card doesn't show up in Jockey. Mine does and it's a BCM4309. I think pretty much the same card as the OP but with 802.11a as...

Try posting the output of
sudo lspci -vv

PLEASE PUT THE OUTPUT IN CODE TAGS! You didn't do it for the output of lshw =(

This list is only for hardware that requires drivers that are not free / closed source. It is puzzling to me that your wireless drivers are not there because as far as I know they should be.

Maybe...

Go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers

See if there is an entry to enable the driver for your wireless card. Do you have a Broadcom card by any chance? (The 'Dell' wireless adapters are...

There isn't much difference between Server and Desktop besides package selection (I think there are some fundamental differences with scheduling that you won't need for such a basic setup.)

My...

You'd be best off pasting at least one of your configuration files and pointing out which ones load and which don't. You might have something weird going on with quotes or other meta-characters

These are to add rules to iptables on my machine, I want to edit the UPnP rules on my router.

I'd like to be able to see what ports are forwarded on my router and manually add/remove forwarding rules. Does anyone know of an application that can do this?
