FYI, I believe the correct way to do this in 10.04 is to create a new config file in /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/

Something like:


sudo gedit...

I found a way to prevent the system from suspending and/or hibernating. The suspend/hibernate options still show up in the menu but if you click on one of them it just locks the screen.

You just...

I'm so embarrassed :oops:

If you take a look at the useradd help:

useradd --help
You will see that it accepts a password parameter '-p' and that the argument to '-p' should be the already encrypted password. So the...

Are you sure that "ns-allinone-2.31" is the name of the package containing ns? Usually package names do not have version numbers in them. And there is not a package named ns-allinone in the default...

As the error message says, you need to install the gettext package.

You can install it by using the terminal and running this command:

sudo apt-get install gettext

Ubuntu karmic 9.10 is very much in early development stages. In fact, there has has not even been an alpha release yet. So it is to be expected that things will break when you upgrade to it.

Hi everyone,

The upgrade to Jaunty went well. No regressions so far and several old bugs were fixed.

There are several packages that used to be included in a standard ubuntu install (at least...

For sure. From what I used of Empathy I liked it a lot. Both Empathy and Pidgin are very good and I hope one of them gets yahoo voice/video chat soon.


Have any of you used Yahoo voice/video chat...

Okay. Thanks for the quick answer.

I will give Gyachi a try.

I would do a clean install from the 8.10 live cd. You don't need to uninstall 8.04 just replace it with 8.10.

Hey Everybody,

Anybody had any luck getting voice chat/phone calling over Yahoo Messenger to work with Empathy?

It signs in okay and brings up the "buddy list" but when I select a username the...

According to these links it looks like your card is...

The only time I have encountered this was when using a theme that was installed locally to my regular user (by putting it in ~/.theme or something).

Then when an app was run as root using sudo,...

You are welcome.

'lsusb' is a command you run in the terminal.

You don't need sudo. Just run it like you did lspci and iwlist.

If you can find the model number of your card somehow in windows that would work...

Okay, its a RealTek card. Can you run lsusb? That should give the model number.

iwconfig says that you have a "no wireless extensions" which means that your wireless card is not properly detected/installed by ubuntu.

Also I don't see your wireless card listed in lspci.

When you remove wine with the package manager it removes the global application but it does not remove the files that wine installs for each user. You will have to remove them yourself.

The developer was right that you need the development libraries for pidgin. But you don't need to build pidgin yourself.

The pidgin development files are available in the repository, just install...

It would help if you posted the output of iwconfig and lspci here.

Yes.

Wine also installs .directory files in ~/.local/share/desktop-directories/ and icon files in ~/.local/share/icons/

It sure would be nice if wine cleaned this stuff up when it uninstalled...

Wine installs its menu items in ~/.local/share/applications/wine

I don't think wine's regedit is compatible with regular windows.
