I feel by now reasonably certain in saying that the only final fix for this problem is a kernel upgrade. I have tested this idea first by installing karmic koala (9.10) which uses 2.6.30, secondly...
EDIT: This is NOT a fix and I doubt that it really changes anything. Please see post below.
Okay, I've got a hint of an idea of what might be a fix. The reason for my optimism is that I started a...
After starting a new thread on the same issue, I got some information that prompted me to speculate that this was a SB400-specific issue and then google-stumbled my way to this thread.
I posted a...
Well, you're welcome for what it's worth :) I know there's got to be tons of threads dedicated to the same issue but it's hard to see if it is the same as they're usually just vague symptoms reports...
Symptoms:
After a while of playing music or video (and sound working perfectly normal), music (and accompanying video, if any) begins progressing very, very slowly - I'd say 1/100th of 'realtime'...
Well, the defense appears to have been purely technical: we don't host anything, we reference. Which hasn't anything to do with neither political issues about copyright or broken business models......
I think I got it: I had set the export "HTTP_PROXY=127.0.0.1:8118" variable in a global config file and apparently a) this was being used by the connection and b) port 8118 (privoxy) was being...
I'm trying to run the program using the example configuration with my own account name and password subsituted for the example ones. However, I keep getting the following error:
Conky: desktop...
For the record: I just switched to using the open source 'radeon' driver instead of fglrx and video renders far better and without artifacts. I have had some HD matroska videos taht I didn't think my...
Thanks for the suggestions, guys. Tthe ubuntuzilla version works nicely but is also somewhat lacking in the anti-aliasing department. I don't know if I'm missing something or other... Though the fact...
Well, even with backports enabled it's still at beta4 which - apart from not being up-to-date - looks nasty and non-anti-aliased...
EDIT: Cf. the package page
Does anyone know how to get a decent firefox 3 build onto gutsy? (I returned to gutsy a month or two ago after hardy consistently dropped my usb connections)
I have looked for repos (no luck),...
There is more information about file type associations in Gnome (and associates, like Xfce) in the thread here.
Is there a contradiction? Or are you just pointing out that I should be lauding gmpc for being good at being ugly ;)
Anyway... I set up relaxxplayer - a web interface to mpd - on my laptop. It...
gmpc just looks so plain to me. It does have an impressive array of ways to add music to the playlist but for that I'd rather go with either 100% CLI (bash scripts) or 100% GUI (such s mpdBrowser)....
Thanks urukrama, you're a treasure trove of information :)
I didn't know about mpdbrowser and it hits the spot perfectly. It obviously can't stand alone and probably isn't meant to, but I think...
Seeing as I didn't find any major mpd threads out there, I figured I'd try creating creating a thread like the one on Openbox, collecting various MPD titbits and lore. Hopefully other MPD fans out...
Yes, exactly how anyone can find Opera cruddy and slow is a bit of a mystery to me. It comes with more features by default than any browser I know of and in my experience, it's faster. Of course it's...
Sorry to say, I never found a solution. With xawtv, anyway. However, I was already using VLC for video, so I was pleased to discover that it could easily be used to mirror the webcam including taking...
Uhm 11 pages worth of promos and hardly anyone cares to engage the orignal poster's question/demand?
I think utorrent won adherents because
1) It's got practically every feature that the...
I haven't used virtualbox in a while but regarding usb this is what the wikipedia has to say:
EDIT: I believe the one in the repos is the open source, i.e. non-USB, version.
As for local...
In theory, if all the packages are in order, and you trust the 'ultimate edition' people, you could upgrade without 'screwing up your system'. However, personally I only add external repos for single...
Since upgrading to hardy I'd been having all kinds of problems with usb connections so after trying everything from kernel boot parameters, loading and unloading modules, upgrading & downgrading...
I'm trying to make a build of firefox 3.0 with antialiasing. Here's my mozconfig:
mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/objdir
mk_add_options...
Well, that is true but a) there is always search-this-thread which should work just as well, and b) you can also just use it in a 'watch this thread and see what comes up' - also a neat way to be...
