Yea, that's exactly what I'm getting. Good that someone already reported it.

Thanks everyone for the thoughts on how to work around the problem or track down its exact nature. Much appreciated!

I've recently installed Ubuntu 16.04 from the daily releases. Largely all is good, but one noticeable problem is playing audio CDs: there is an audible, strong "buzz" through which some aspects of...

Hello all,

Recent (last 6 weeks?) updates to lightdm seem to have changed the location of the lightdm config files. What was in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/ has been removed (only .bak files...

Thanks for the info everyone :-) FWIW I did search the forums first, but "firefox 26 trusty" resulted in lots of posts that were nothing to do with firefox 26, and didn't get me anywhere near the...

Firefox 26 has been out for a while -- is there a reason why it hasn't made it to the main trusty repository yet?

Hello all,

I'm having a problem which seems to have hit various people on various occasions over the history of Ubuntu, but what I've read of previously-suggested solutions doesn't help me solve...

Well, I updated a couple of days ago, and the main problem was actually building the USB install disk, as Startup Disk Creator on 13.10 just kept crashing.

There was a hairy/worrying moment when...

Glad to hear that the quality standard is up there where I'd expected. I've never upgraded pre-Alpha 1 before, and I may still wait for 19 December, but I was curious about how things would be ...
...

I'm finding myself rather tempted to get up to speed on Trusty Tahr rather than sticking with 13.10. I've often upgraded during the alpha period of previous releases, and over the last few years at...

Yes, it did work and was useful -- that's why I want it back! :-)

I'm on 13.10, incidentally, I really must update my profile here ...

I temporarily disabled the HUD shortcut key in order to use some apps where the left Alt key was important to use, but now I'm finding I can't re-enable it.

I've gone into System Settings >...

Can anyone recommend a good alternative to kcachegrind that comes in the Ubuntu repositories?

I like kcachegrind's visualizations but installing it pulls in a huge number of (so far as I can see)...

@schragge: It's a bit late coming, but just to say a big thank you for the case-based script. For whatever reason I didn't get it to work at the time (probably a typo :-) ) but with a fresh install...

Just thought I'd update here -- once Mir landed in the universe repositories, I found it easy to download a daily image and set up a startup disk, boot into that, add universe to the software sources...

@graham: Thanks for the info and reassurances, but nevertheless the goal here is to test Ubuntu + XMir before installing it :-) Regarding ETAs, I'm not asking for a firm deadline -- I understand how...

Is it possible to test XMir on a startup disk, and if so how?

I've generated a startup disk from the latest daily iso's but so far as I can tell it's running regular X. I'm guessing this is...

Thanks to all of you for the thoughts and replies :-)

@schragge -- forgive me, my shell scripting is not too great -- can you explain the use of case etc. in that script?

It's not clear to me...

Hello all,

I have various programs that are installed in subdirs of /opt. In order to allow them to run, I obviously need to add the appropriate dirs to PATH.

My "solution" was to add a little...

Hello all,

I use Lilypond to write scores and often generate MIDI files. It would be nice to be able to play these back using higher-quality sounds than the basic soundfonts provided with...

That's actually what I did in the end -- adequate, though definitely not perfect! I'll have a look into the tunnelling possibilities you suggest.

Sorry for the belated thanks, I was travelling in...

I use Remmina to connect from outside to a Windows machine in my office network. There's also a Linux machine on the office network which is not accessible outside the company LAN.

Is it possible...

Thanks! :-)

OK, cool. So deleting the /var/cache/pbuilder dir and all of its contents should clear out all of this stuff from my system?

Hello all,

I was having a play with the how-to-build-a-deb-package-on-Launchpad instructions here:
https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/SourceBuilds/GettingStarted

As per the instructions I...

This is such a daft and trivial question that I'm embarrassed to be asking it, but it's only now it's become relevant ...
