If it's any consolation to anyone, plugging my camera into Fedora reports it as a SCSI drive and freezes up the shell totally.

If I go to a console I can access the mounted drive - maybe it's a...

Hello - I see this wasn't answered and it's been a while. As far as I understand it, the documentation is far behind (and still is as of this writing).

There are a few tip sheets like the one you...

I've not got it installed at the moment, but good to know if this might be the issue if anyone else is still battling...

I can only assume that this has only happened to a select band of us considering the lack of urgency.

I'm amd64 - don't know if it's just on that or something, or maybe usb isn't a part of a lot...

I don't know if they've sorted out the USB drive. I'm currently using Fedora as too much of a bug to not have USB.

Thinking that I'd like the stability of an LTS, but now thinking I also want to...

Hi,

I upgraded to 12.04 and my usb stick doesn't mount. I think I had this problem before, in 11.10, and found a fix after a while, but can't find it now. Did a fresh install so any fixes gone.
...

Just did an update on Pangolin (still beta until Thursday) and half of gnome shell went Chinese.

Googling found this solution which worked for me...add the following lines to /etc/environment.

I'm thinking about file errors that may occur later. So, the last one I did contained a 'socket' file that couldn't be copied...so it doesn't happen at the beginning. It happens when it comes across...

Quite often, when I'm copying large amounts of files with the file manager, I want to leave the copy unattended. When I come back, I often find a prompt asking me what to do with a certain file.

If it's definitely frozen this isn't an answer, but I have Gnome 3 putting on the screen lock when I boot up, but not showing me that it's presented the password unlock. It's a dark screen (second...

I had a feeling that this had been a problem with Gnome for a while and it's very irritating.

More irritating to find that Unity has kept it on.

I'm thinking we're talking about the same...

Seems like Banshee has an amazon downloader built in now, so if you go that route it works.

Probably keen that we do so they get a referral :-)

I got round to googling for answers to a couple of these, and I'll add them here although they are elsewhere, in case someone happens to be here.

The drum beat on the login screen (ie the screen...

Thanks - wasn't particularly expecting a constructive answer to a not constructive criticism, but will give XFCE a go. I've never really considered it and maybe it's worth a go.

Out of interest, I...

OK, so I guess this is going to be a bit of a whine...but what the hell. Couldn't see a rants thread so will do this as a Gnome commentary in Ubuntu 10.10.

I don't know if other people are getting...

Not sure if it's the same thing, but I got the same COM error and just hitting tab worked so I was shown the various boots (live, install, etc).

I typed live and away we went. Didn't try the...

Thank you for 'fessing up! Been banging my head against a very similar problem with a very similar solution.

Many thanks.

I think that I just used this command to install it - maybe not useful to you at the moment:


sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

Does anyone at all have any problems with their AMD64 machine freezing up altogether and requiring a reboot, sometime after the computer has been woken from sleep, or am I the only one?

Hi, sorry, missed your post.

I've actually moved onto using ssh as they allow that, so I didn't really find a solution.

Cadaver, which is command line, worked for me if I used the "-t" switch...

Hi,

I can't really tell whether this is a bug or not as there doesn't seem to be much fuss about it, though it is mentioned from time to time in a google search, but with no answer.

I have...

Hi,

Just wanted to say that the upgrade was from Intrepid to Jaunty was seamless for me. I was affected by something in a package update in Intrepid which meant that I lost gnome-panel and got...

Last one on this thread - bit the bullet and upgraded to jaunty. Was wary as nvidia caused huge probs in the last upgrade. Immediate impression is that things are sorted. Earlier, the icons on my...

Fixed in System-Prefs-Keyboard "Key presses repeat..."

I didn't change any of this so it's either an update or I've been invaded.

...and holding down my backspace key doesn't continue deleting text and holding down the cursor only moves one character. Weird, but couldn't swear that hadn't started before.
