In such a case, I'd create a new user and try it from there.
Also maybe I'd move xorg.conf away to a safe location and then try starting X with a fresh xorg.conf. I think there's an nvidia tool...

There is also Thunar and PCmanFM. I'd recommend Thunar, it should be fast and look decent in GNOME.
Hi! When you run cvlc, which output driver does it use? Have you tried to run VLC as a new user or with completely removed configuration files in your home directory? Very often some old...
It seems I have solved the problem: My current configuration is running my laptop with its cover closed, only slightly lifting it when switching it on. I've configured the fglrx driver (newest...
So, I installed Ubuntu 9.10 now (no beta anymore, yay :p) and it seems to ship a new fglrx version (btw, is there a quick way to find out its version number via the terminal?), however my problem...
Hmmm, I don't really know - how to set the displays independent?
Unfortunately I currently don't have my external screen around, but if I recall correctly, in the Catalyst Control Center there...
Don't know if that helps, but you could start alsamixer (from the Terminal), press F5 to show all controls and see if you find that option there.
Yes, I'm using the Catalyst Control Center. Btw., trying to run it via the usual Applications menu results in a message that the command can't be found - I have to run "sudo amdcccle" manually.
Hi cilynx, thanks for your answer! I too noticed closing the lid solved my problem at least two times. In that case I just hope new drivers that fix these problems will be available soon ...
Hi, I'm having problems with the fglrx driver and multiple screens: I have attached an external monitor via DVI to my laptop and would like the laptop screen to power off, therefore having everything...
Hi ArcaVex, thanks for your suggestion.
Strangely, the problem has solved itself, it seems that two reboots were needed to make everything work. I'm posting this over WLAN now! :P
Anyway,...
Thanks for your response, tenmoi.
I tried your tips, but although NetworkManager reported a slightly different thing afterwards, the general behaviour stayed the same. That was on Ubuntu Karmic...
If it helps something, on Karmic Beta I got following output:
michi@michi-laptop:~$ rfkill list
0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: yes
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft...
To respond to your new reply, you can edit every file with root rights by running "gksu gedit" or "sudo nano".
With WiFi NOT working, do the following:
1.) Go to Application -> Accessories -> Terminal.
2.) Type 'lsmod' and press ENTER. Look for stuff like 'bcm' etc.
If you can't find anything...
Hi, thanks for looking at my problem!
I've got a brand-new Dell Studio 15 laptop and can't figure out how to set up my wireless card.
lspci:
04:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation...
I have the same problem as Kyron: massive CPU usage when network traffic is involved, although it seems I use the module rt73usb. (It's a Linksys Wireless-G USB adapter, if that helps anything :)).

I would try to move the Songbird configuration files somewhere else temporarily and see if that solves the problem. Unfortunately I don't know where Songbird saves its configuration files, but maybe...
You probably use 3D desktop effects, which control this aspect of window management. To change what happens when you press F11, you have to install the "Advanced Desktop Effects Settings" program and...
This most likely is a bug. :)
If you want music to stop playing, you would probably have to shut down Firefox completely via "System -> Administration -> System Monitor". If you see a Firefox...
Have you tried restarting Firefox completely already (closing all Firefox windows)?
Is the plugin shown in "Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins"?
Try to remove all Wine stuff in ~/.local/share/applications and see if it is still there afterwards. :)
Good luck!
Strange errors call for strange actions - have you tried checking your RAM once?
Well, first I'd ask the DJ if he wants to use any special software, before you spend your time finding something, and then he tells you that he wants to use something different. :)
If the DJ is...
Thanks for your advice (especially for using CTRL-ALT-+ to change the resolution on the fly), but it seems for example when I start GTA2 and exit again, my screen stays stuck at 640x480 and using...
