I would like to get rid of rhythmbox.
But when I try to uninstall it from Synaptic, it threatens me with uninstalling Gnome!
I like Gnome. I dislike rhythmbox. If somebody can help in the next few...

I have managed to fix this.

Even the latest gsview apparently uses the 1.2 version of GTK and GDK, which have been removed from Ubuntu's repositories. GTK and GDK are currently version 2.0.

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I am trying to get gsview working. I followed the instructions on the GSview website, but get no response when trying to start gsview using the GUI. When, in a...

Thanks! It used to make me jump.

Can someone remind me - what was the thinking behind the idea of releasing an OS with the sound facilities MUTED by default? Somehow the brilliance of the concept has escaped my meagre mental...

Sorry for totally off-topic query: I have spent an hour and more trying to find out how to post a new question, but I eventually felt forced to jump onto a thread - yours (at random).

I just realised that I have mouse frozen solid from login screen in Ubuntu 10.04 using kernels 2.6.32-25 and 2.6.32-24, but no problems in 2.6.32-21.
I'm actually working on some other problems, but...

Even did reinstalls - no luck.

Hello, dmizer!
I've been lurking on this thread for some time: fascinating reading, and a grand display of kindness and civility it is. I've implemented all of your Post No. 1 tips, and several...

Thanks to the thread above, I've been able to install and run GSview (a great front-end for Ghostscript).

Pretty much the same problem as the Original Poster, so I'll be following this one.
I can restart with

And I'm...

Yes,I have the same prolblem. The euro-standard On-Off buton takes me to a dialogue box - if I click on Restart, it closes a few window-frsmes, but then stalls.

I think I have nailed this one.
