I too am affected by this bug. It forces me to use Spotify through Wine.

I can confirm that moving an icon on the desktop hides the launcher again.

I am very interested to see if anyone can come up with a fix for this, but for now we have switched to Fedora which seems to work ok with xrdp. However, I would love to use Ubuntu at school simply...

The exact error given by scite when crashing is:

I have also noticed that the user manager does...

My school recently bought the "computing club" our own server. This runs virtual machines on VMWare Server and so allows us to run whatever operating systems we want, and install any programs we...

When you plug it in for the first time, it must be unlocked, ie. on the home screen, not on the lock screen. I presume this is some kind of security thing. It should then appear on your desktop.

I am trying to use LeJOS NXJ to run Java programs on my Mindstorms NXT. Java is set up and runs fine. When I run an NXJ program, such as
nxjmonitor it runs fine but it says:

Perhaps you have said this in the post above, but if you have a look at the pictures that are being captured by motion (with a slow framerate) using the file browser, are the images perfect, or...

Thanks, I didn't think of un-capturing the mouse before switching. Its a little annoying but works well.

If I am using an application full screen, I cannot use ctrl-atl-left arrow etc. to switch workspace. Is there some way to do this?

For example, when I am using virtual box full screen, I would...

As I find it hard to explain the location of icons I have attached a screen shot with it circled.

If you right click on this icon and then click on edit connections it will allow you to make new...

What type of modem do you have? Is in internal (ie. you plug the telephone line into the back of your computer) or external (ie. you plug the telephone line into another machine which you then plug...

Could you use the default font instead? It makes it easier to read and it doesn't take up so much screen space.

We need to know how you want to connect to the Internet in order to help you. Do you...

When you say telephone connection, do you mean a dial-up connection or an adsl connection? Do you have a router, or are you using a modem connected directly to your computer?

Having bought a 64gb SSD (this one), I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit. I am impressed with the increase in speed so far, but I was wondering if there were any ways to speed up things yet further....

After quite a bit of searching I found that what I am looking for is active directory. I am going to try and follow this thread:

Sorry for posting...

I understand that what I am about to ask is complicated and advanced, but learning is the entire point of the exercise so I am willing to be taught.

My school recently gave those who might be...

Run

uname -a

Seems to work for me, I have 9.04 64-bit with flash 10 using firefox.

On 9.04 run this and it should upgrade you:

sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree
sudo apt-get install...

Thanks that seemed to work. One slight worry:

update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/timevault exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force)


Do I need to force that? No errors were given.

This is a theme for the login window. Go:
System>>admin>>login window
click on the local tab and drag the "tar.bz2" file into the box with the other themes in it. Alternatively you can click...

Do you have flash installed? Could you give us a link to the webpage?

Looking for a backup program, I tried timevault using instructions which forced it to install on my 64-bit machine. After using it for a bit I decided I preferred sbackup for now so I wanted to get...

The alternate install disk is exactly the same as the live cd installer and installs exactly the same things. The only difference is that it uses a text based install enviroment, so is ideal for...

If you want to install, why not just use the alternate install disk. Then, once you are running, install drivers as need be.

Ok... This would be easier but you cannot reach the desktop. This may work, but if it doesn't, no harm done because its the live cd. You will need Internet access, and possibly quite a bit of ram,...
