I'm sorry to hear about your problems. I installed HOMM3 for my girlfriend to play a couple of years ago, with the HD patch, and as far as I can remember it worked without a problem. In fact, it...

I don't want to say anything yet, but the problem I had might be because of a badly configured kernel. I'm on my second try now with a freshly compiled kernel, let's hope it works out better :)
I...
OK, this is bad. When I started the computer now the touchpad started behaving very irratically -- sometimes not responding, overshooting, random clicks.
I tried using the original psmouse module,...
Awesome. Two finger scroll AND horizontal two finger scroll went from unusable to being quite pleasant to use. With this fix I'd actually say the touchpad is more responsive than in Windows. I cloned...
I will gladly try your patch. I have some questions first however.
1. How do I find my touchpad version?
2. Is it necessary to recompile the whole kernel to try it, or is there a faster way?
I have this as well. Does anyone know what it might be?
I am working on improving the Sentelic touchpad driver, and I would like to be able to test changes without the need of recompiling the whole kernel every time (it takes too long).
I have tried...
If you create a new test account, does it login correctly?
I would try two things, if I were you:
1. Another WM/DE, with the same profile. Your choice, but I suggest doing it with Openbox.
2....
Not sure you need help for this any more, but since it was one of the first hits I got on Google, I'm putting this up for reference.
The solution is opening a terminal and running
xmodmap -e...
Poweroff does not work for me, while reboot does.
Consequently, sudo halt does not work, while sudo reboot does.
Anyway, I solved the problem by uninstalling laptop-mode-tools. It seems there's...
This happens to me as well, on an ASUS U36SD. It worked, then all of a sudden stopped working, perhaps after a kernel upgrade.
Have you considered running the Ubuntu Classic desktop? Would solve both your problems, methinks.
Not sure if it'll help you, but here's what I usually do to enable sound via HDMI:
1. I go to sound preferences (easiest way is to right click the icon in your upper right), and then Hardware tab,...
Generally speaking, if something is in the repository, and is a recent enough version, you should get it from there rather than compile it from source. In other words, don't compile the dependencies...
Can't believe nobody answered this question... The thread is old now, but for completeness sake: YES a fresh install is a lot better than an upgrade if you wish to have a faster boot.
Just thought I'd add a post to thank you for going through the trouble for me, so I don't have to do it myself only to reach the conclusion that it wasn't worth it. :)
So, yeah. Thanks! :P
I'd like to add a keyboard shortcut in Gnome that runs dmenu, which is located in ~/bin/ (I'm on a school computer, no sudo access to /usr/bin).
If I run dmenu from the Run dialog (Alt+F2, typing...

Isn't it time we updated the torrents to include at least 10.04? (I got there trying to find a torrent download for 10.10)

Well, it seems to be possible in Red Hat. I'm talking about installing something to my home dir, software that does not require root-privileges to run.
Whether this will get me in trouble or not...
Hi all,
I'm wondering if there is some way for me to install Synergy to my home directory on a school computer where I don't have root access.
Is this possible?

A bit melodramatic, no?
She would have been fine trying to fix the jerks as well -- but that would take some time and effort on her part, which she obviously was not ready to put in. Mind you,...
Ah, I see. I was assuming it worked like cp or mv, my bad. Thanks!
