Hi all, I'm having a weird issue with my Xubuntu 13.10 install. Switching windows by left-clicking in the menu bar (not title bar) actually grabs the window to move it around instead of simply...

I'm trying to transcode a video I took with a digital camera to an ogv, but get an error from ffmpeg when I try to downsize it from 720p to 480p. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.


ffmpeg -i...

FYI, Google recognizes this as a problem, but "there is no timeframe yet" for fixing it. (Source.)

System -> Administration -> Time and Date.

Set configuration to manual.

@bartman: Yeah, there's nothing inherently wrong about using that script. The reason why I suggested against it in this thread is because my point here is not to help people that want to experiment...

Hi mwolfgang,

That's probably a different issue. I haven't had a problem with AJAX mouse recognition at all. You should probably file a separate bug report.

Hope it helps.

Hi robau,

I don't personally recommend using that script as it performs filesystem operations without the package manager's knowledge. This can leave your system in an inconsistent state.

It's...

Just wanted to post this here for everyone's benefit (and hopefully less spam in the bugreport).

In comment #143, Edward posted a workaround which works for me as well as others. However, I have...

Just wanted to thank you, Yashiro, for the tip about system-config-samba. It's just what I needed and works great.

This search seems to indicate it will be available in Karmic, but it's not a package for Jaunty as far as I could find. I compiled it from sf.net, though, just needed to install qt3-dev-tools.

Hi all,

I've got a Canon PIXMA MP160 connected to my Ubuntu 9.04 AMD64 box, which works great, both printing and scanning. I'm using the built-in Ubuntu drivers and not the Canon ones since Canon...

Perfect, clearing the udev .rules file did the trick. Good to know that I should clear it when changing hardware. Thanks again!

mc4man, thanks that line worked perfectly! I owe you one.

A side note, though, anyone know why my symlink in /dev is /dev/cdrom5 instead of /dev/cdrom? On my xubuntu laptop it is the latter, which...

Hello all,

I have a question about my cdrom mount point. Whenever I insert a cdrom, it mounts in "/media/[disc-name]", for example "/media/Ubuntu 8.10 i386". I would expect it to mount in...

As far as I know, increasing the inode size is a bit of future-proofing to allow for extra data fields for files (such as nanosecond timestamps, etc.). It does seem a little silly to me, but who am I...

Could you post your whole system specs? Also, what does System Monitor show when the flash is choppy? Full CPU usage?

If memtest detects a problem, then there is something wrong with your physical RAM. No way to fix that. (Without a really, really small soldering iron. ;))

Did you figure it out? If not, you need to add users to the pulse-access group to be able to connect to pulseaudio, as documented here.

Also, you shouldn't modify the init script itself but...

Well, this is weird. I didn't have caps lock on, but I tried it with caps lock on and guess what... it worked! Thanks for your help!

So, new problem: why is caps lock "reversed" for my grub?

Skype finally works! Thanks!

I have no idea what all you PPA packages did, but I'll have to accept the magic, I guess. :-P

Huh? Do you mean by changing menu.lst? The problem isn't that I can't boot, it's that I can't edit the command line from the grub menu.

Hey guys,

I was thinking about upgrading to Intrepid today, but I've had this problem with my grub menu for a while which I'd like to resolve first.

The problem is that on the grub menu, I can...
