"Duel" boot - that sounds about right! Thanks for the response, Oly. I've never even had an SSD, so I didn't think about space management. If all goes well (like it did with my current netbook...

Thinking of picking up this 2-n-1. TigerDirect has it for $400 with a $150 rebate until the end of May. Rebate is after shipping them any PC with working (bootable) Windows XP, Vista, 7, or 8.

+1 for nautilus-image- tools. Gimp is awesome, but being able to right-click and resize an image is totally fresh!

Peace.

Long-time Ubuntu user - same problem! I had... a similar issue with 11.10 sometimes, but it's awful with 12.04. I'd say 50% of the time, I can only move the mouse after returning from standby, the...

This is really the best answer. Thanks!

BTW, what he's saying is go to Synaptic (or Ubuntu Software Center, or use "apt-get" on the commandline) and install the following package:...

Thanks for pursuing this and posting your solution, leemid! I had the same problem on an HP LaserJet 4100N at my work for YEARS! I ended up printing to a networked copier just so I wouldn't have to...

GREAT NEWS!

I was about to be sad because usb-modeswitch-data is no longer available in the 11.10 repositories, but...

It is now September of 2011, and I am experiencing the same thing with the lo-menubar installed. In my research, I have found others mentioning the Window menu missing back in Natty beta,...

Just wanted to give a big thanks for this! This seems to be the only way to rearrange the 2d Unity launcher. It works beautifully, btw! :guitar:

Peace.

My Asus 1005HA (any many others' netbooks and notebooks) experienced severe video corruption upon returning from hibernate after the 11.04 upgrade. This was true in both unity and "classic" gnome...

Damn straight! Hasn't broken anything else yet, and compared to the "recommended" updates... it actually WORKS!

Sgozz, you rock! I will confirm this solved the problem on my Asus 1005HA. Had been working "out of the box" since 10.04, then this problem appeared with the Natty upgrade. The "proposed"...

Super awesome! Thanks so much for this simple solution. Why the @!*# isn't this just one of the dependencies?! MP3 inc. really needs to just give in and go open source...

Peace.

Perfection!

Thank you so much for this solution. I run standard gnome desktop (not unity) on my EeePC, and my notification icons sometimes move and disappear randomly at boot. This last time I...

Well, the Unity desktop bar in 11.04 is supposed to Intellihide. I have my reservations about the change to unity, but for now I'm putting my eggs in that basket and marking this thread as solved.

Howdy, Stinger. Welcome to the forums! This place has been an invaluable resource for me, so I hope I can begin to steer you in the right direction today.

For starters, what do you use to watch...

Hi Greg.

I just wanted to chime in as another Kensington Expert Mouse user. Mine (model #K64325) did work just fine out of the box. (I'm using it right now!) I use it with my netbook which is...

Hello, forum. I have recently begun using Docky as my lower dock/taskbar and I love it. However, it doesn't have "dockies" for everything that the upper panel has (i.e. notification icons for...

+1 Awesome tip!

Hi Pro!

Just wanted to say thanks for an excellent script. It works exactly as advertised! I reduced the countdown timer, and removed the password protection, and it still worked beautifully.

Hi!

Just wanted to say that I was having the same problem as the original poster on my Asus EeePC 1005. I didn't notice until I started using Docky, but it was becoming a real pain having to...

Ok, kerry. don't leave just yet. yours definitely works from the terminal, but now when I bind that to a key combo, I get nothing! The code that didn't actually display the time was...

Hi Kerry,

Please see my screenshot in post #3. My notification actually says "$(date)"

Thanks for responding.

Peace.
