Well. 12.04 has had some fundamental changes under the hood, and it's like this with any OS in my experience.
Usually I never do a system upgrade on my critical machines before at least a month...

Never tried this setup exactly, but analog VGA has a limit of 1024x768 in what is called XGA, so it might be the cable...

You should try to set it up with TCP/IP printing.

Try something like this:

You should first of all vacuum your laptop after opening it, and you could use something like fancontrol to set the fans to blow max all the time.

If you did:
sudo mv AdobeAIRInstaller.bin /xubuntu

You basically moved the AdobeAIRInstaller.bin from your current directory to the root directory /
You should be able to mv it back using:

In the Nvidia driver there is an option for Cinerama, which when activated helps me configure my two monitors. Is there anything like that available for your ATI driver perhaps?

Why did you do an upgrade if you already had a "clean install" of 11.10?

My experience is that it is always best to install any operating system from scratch after formatting the disk.

But, did...

So this is the thanks you get as a member for 7 years??

Please give me back my rights to manage my own profile for crying out loud.

When I log into UbuntuForums, I can not edit any of my profile settings anymore!

Is this a bug or is it a feature?

It says that I might have less than 50 posts or that I'm trying to edit...

Check out the tips on my blog to get Maya installed correctly on Linux:

non-free Postscript Type 1 fonts from XFree86

Maya looks in the following paths for postscript fonts:
/usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1

Just link some fonts...

Well, I don't think it's anyones fault but your own!
If you download the latest drivers from ATI, and use the updated Xorg distribution, things should work just nice and dandy. What does the...

Actually, I'm not hiding anything from anyone, but I need some info on this subject for my exam in computer security, so thanks for sharing some knowledge.

I see. I understand that your knowledge of computer security extends mine. That was partially why I posted this in the first place, to get reasonable responses, like the last one you wrote.

Now that would be an overstatement. I'm no cryto expert, if you have the ability to read the whole thread, it wasn't even me that started to talk about encryption. My thread was about erasing files...

That is the safest option! Way to go!

:-)

So the ultimate, must be ext2 on all partitions + strong encryption with salted keys...
Then you can use wipe on top, and be happy...

Depends on the cipher method and bit length, but a 512 bits RSA, would take about 7 months +/-. (according to NSA themselves)

So... Probably no need to worry, unless you're in custody.

By spending some time to find/crack the single encryption key that protects the partition.

NSA does this pretty often, but this is starting to remind me of paranoia ;-)

That's a good alternative for securing your data against being read by others, but encryption and deletion, actually doesn't have much to do with each other.

No matter if the data is encrypted,...

Depends. What do you use to encrypt your partitions?
Cryptoloop?

So. Even if your fs is encrypted, files get decrypted on the fly, when in use, so deleting a file doesn't make the deletion secure. You could just as easy log in and recover the file.

quote wipe manpage:

"Encrypting a whole partition with cryptoloop, for example, does not help very much either, since there is a single key for all the partition."

so...
