Windows Live ID sign-in assistant installs under Windows 7 as part of a Windows update I believe. To remove it, go to the Control Panel, where there should be some icon to click for uninstalling...
I found the following thread and I was able to resolve my problem. I had to uninstall the Windows Live ID sign-in assistant from the Windows 7 PC. I guess that I had never installed this prior in...

You can also run ssh with the -X option to enable X11 forwarding. This way, X will be enabled and emacs will open in a new window. Without X11 forwarding, I believe that running emacs is equivalent...
I am also experiencing the same problem with a Radeon 4350. Does anyone know of a solution? Any /etc/X11/xorg.conf settings that I can add that will prevent this delay? I also have a similar delay...

Thanks oldfred. I've installed CUPS-PDF in the past, after it was no longer included in the distribution. However, I'm looking for a way to modify the settings of the "Print to File" option in the...
It was in fact bad RAM. I ran memtest86+ on the GRUB menu, and it consistently detected errors at the same address. I removed one of my sticks and no longer got the error. Should I be worried that my...

I don't believe so. I am unsure how xorg.conf even works anymore. It seems that there used to be much more control allowed with this file, and more configuration options with $dpkg-reconfigure...
Could someone who has solved this problem please post their xorg.conf setting. For some reason, the problem is only solved for me when relying upon the proprietary driver from ATI's website. Upon...
To fix the problem, I first tried installing the 9.4 drivers that can be downloaded from ATI's website, as this worked for some. However, I was still getting the black screen. I proceeded to follow...
