    [ubuntu] Re: How to remove a package I can't find?

    I think I must have phrased the problem poorly, so let me try again:

    When I try to install package A, I get an error that I can't because it's incompatible with package B that I already have...

    [ubuntu] How to remove a package I can't find?

    So, I messed up. I couldn't find an amd64 version of the package I wanted, so I forced the architecture on the i386 version I found. (The package in question is xinput-calibrator, so that I can...
  3. [SOLVED] Re: Get Shift to NOT pull up the launcher in Unity?

    @coffeecat, that 'fixed' it. I'm still perplexed, I don't know why it was doing something that strange in the first place. But I'm satisfied w/ that as a result. Thanks! It makes fixing my music...
  4. [SOLVED] Re: Get Shift to NOT pull up the launcher in Unity?

    I double-checked what's happening, and it is absolutely the shift key, but apparently only while I'm in nautilus. If my music folder is the active window, when I hold shift (it does take a moment)...
  5. [SOLVED] Get Shift to NOT pull up the launcher in Unity?

    I use the shift key a lot. I don't want it to do anything extra. Is there a way to stop it from pulling up the launcher? I'm using Natty, and I like Unity in general, but this is driving me crazy....
  6. [ubuntu] Re: 11.04 kernel overheating and battery drain bug

    I'm definitely having heat issues. If I play a flash game or Minecraft it gets above 95ᵒC quickly - about 10 minutes. It hovers around 70ᵒC while surfing the internet. Now, my computer overheated...
  7. Re: Has anyone found a way to keep an HP cool?

    Thanks, iForce1. That helped a bit. Seems like there must be a few different cooling issues. I just need to keep chipping away at it.

    Anyone know how to find out what temp I can go to w/o risking...
  8. Re: Has anyone found a way to keep an HP cool?

    I updated to 11.04, hoping that whatever changed between 10.04 and 10.10 to f*ck up my cooling system would have been changed back. No such luck. Minecraft took me to (I really, really hope this is...

    Re: Sticking with Unity?

    I'm switching from KDE, not from Gnome, so I might be missing something, but it's really easy to add, move, remove & lock icons in the side dock. Right click on an icon to lock or unlock (which...

    Re: Minecraft

    I've been able to run a sever without much difficulty.

    java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar
    Obviously, replace "minecraft_server.jar" with the path to wherever you put the file.

  11. Re: Has anyone found a way to keep an HP cool?

    I figure I should mention that while this did allow my fans to work at all, it still runs hot. Just not so hot that I have to shut it down. (Not a huge problem, just info for anyone else trying to...
  12. Re: Has anyone found a way to keep an HP cool?

    I tried it with
    ...=Linuxand
    ...="Linux"with no luck. I found this thread which suggested adding all the slashes for Grub 2. The explanation given is just
    Of course, I didn't have any clue...
  13. Re: Has anyone found a way to keep an HP cool?

    I cannot thank you enough. My fan works! I can use my computer again!

    I edited /etc/default/grub and changed

    to

    updated grub and rebooted, and the fan turned on as soon as it booted up.
  14. Re: Has anyone found a way to keep an HP cool?

    Favux, it's definitely a problem with the fan speed. You can hear that it doesn't ever speed up. (I can't tell for sure whether it's off or just very low. There is a little bit of noise, but it is...
  15. Re: Has anyone found a way to keep an HP cool?

    Any ideas on why the fan only works while the OS isn't running? Would this mean I need to mess with the OS itself? (And if so, is there a way to revert to 10.04 w/o wiping my hard drive?)

    Any...
  16. Re: Has anyone found a way to keep an HP cool?

    When I restarted my computer I noticed that in the few seconds before Ubuntu booted up, the fan was running just fine. Once it started booting up the fan turned off.

    azzamite, can you give me...
  17. Re: Has anyone found a way to keep an HP cool?

    Favux, all three are installed.

    I would be perfectly happy if I could just turn the fan on high manually, for the record.

    Thanks again for the suggestions.
  18. Re: Has anyone found a way to keep an HP cool?

    Thanks for the reply. Running at 550MHz it's still hot to the touch, so could you please explain how to update the bios? (All I can find is an .exe, and I don't dual-boot.)
  19. Has anyone found a way to keep an HP cool?

    I have an HP tx2500, and it gets hot enough to crash multiple times a day.

    I have spent days trying to find a solution, but every other thread dead-ends with "Yea, me too."

    This appears to be...

    Re: Ubuntu not Adjusting Fan Speed

    I have the same problem, with 10.10 running on an HP tx2500. Could someone who has a populated /proc/acpi/fan/ please a post a copy of what is supposed to be in that folder? Trial and error might get...
  21. [SOLVED] Re: Maverick: Stylus keys won't work (T4240)

    That link, combined with the coordinates from the very end of this post made my HP tx2500 fully functional. I switched to Ubuntu about 6 months ago, and this was the only thing left that didn't work....
  22. [ubuntu] Re: 10.10 Logitech headset not working... help!

    Actually, alsamixer just made my system volume loud enough that until someone pointed it out I thought the sound was coming from my headset. So I'm still looking for a fix.

    The way I tried...
  23. [ubuntu] Re: 10.10 Logitech headset not working... help!

    That fixed the same issue for me. Thanks a ton. :KS

    Re: Minecraft

    A big part of the appeal for me is the exploration. There are no paths, no maps, and the world is infinite. (The first time you get within rendering distance of an area the terrain is generated.) I...
