Due to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1864844 I have temporarily (I hope) switched to Thunderbird to read my mail, but it doesn't seem to handle attachments well.

I have mail messages...

When I do something that opens a file dialog, the dialog is always way larger than it has to be, to the extent that it covers almost all my screen, and more importantly, that the Save/Open button is...

I just got a new computer and installed 11.10 on it, and then copied all the files from my home directory on my previous computer running (I think) 10.04 to it.

After this, Evolution doesn't work...

I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 and use it with Unity. When I press alt-tab I get the app switcher, but it appears *under* all my open windows which makes it rather useless.

The same problem...

My personal user (which has a home directory mounted via nfs and krb5) was the one that doesn't work.

A regular user local to the machine works fine, as does root.

Of course, when I try again...

After making a new install of Maverick, it lets me login but then drops me on a desktop that is empty apart from the menu and taskbar. That's not a problem in itself, but nothing responds when I...

I'm having various issues after a fresh install of Maverick, and when trying to debug that I noticed that I can no longer switch to a new VT from the (failed) graphical login with C-A-Fx.

Is this...

I just did apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade on my 10.04 machine, and after that I can't get Ctrl-Alt-Fn to work. Normally, if I press Ctrl-Alt-F1 from the graphical login screen I would get to...

If I bypass gdm, I can log in, but I don't get any home directory.

On the other hand, I can mount my home directory statically. The normal setup uses autofs, but that has no effect. I suppose this...

I had a working workstation with Karmic. Then I decided to upgrade to Lucid. Bad move, it turns out.

First the upgrade crashed. Just stopped doing something for hours on end, and I eventually had...

Yes, but I've seen no reactions there either: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/566673

I have a Dell Inspiron 11z that I want to install Lucid on. As can be seen here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9233518, a netboot installation of Lucid does not work out of the box on this...

This is still a problem in the real Lucid release.

I just got a Dell Inspiron 11z. I'm trying to install Lucid Lynx beta2 on it, but fail. On the other hand, Karmic and Jaunty fail as well.

I have a PXE netboot system set up. When I try to install...

I'm very interested in solving this as well.

I don't know what xg is, but my graphics card presents itself as "VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA Parhelia AGP (rev 03)".

For some time, I've been using 1600x1200 resolution with a Compaq 2025 monitor with no problems.

However, that monitor just broke down and I got myself an HP L2245xg which is supposed to handle...

In a previous installation of Ubuntu (8.something, I think) on a different computer, I was able to switch between western input and Japanese input by typing shift-space. I'm trying to get the same...

I just installed Jaunty to use as an Asterisk machine, and installed gastman to configure it.

When I run gastman, it brings up a dialog asking for the host name. I enter the IP address of the...

I see that I screwed up when writing the post: the server is running 8.10. There is still a /etc/network/interfaces file, but it only contains this:

There's nothing...

I have a server running Ubuntu 8.04. Once properly started it works the way I want, but when it reboots it forgets all its network configuration and comes up with DHCP for eth0.

If I go to System...

If I try that, it also wants to remove these packages:

I'm pretty certain that allowing that won't make X work better... ;-)

This doesn't seem to be the reason for me. I don't think I was using any proprietary driver, and the machine doesn't list any.

If this is the official version, why isn't there a big fat warning when one tries to upgrade?...
