My problem with the window picker appears to be a known bug.

I have to say that it is certainly different, and until folks get used to it they will not be LOL, they will be LFOO (looking for other options).

In my brief encounter with Gnome shell this...

Well, I installed gnome-shell, and while it is interesting, it also broke Unity. I can log in but there are no taskbars, no launcher, etc. Luckily I can use key commands, terminal, and Kupfer to...

Sure -- and that is what I do now. I think the previous posters were concened that menus might eventually be replaced by HUD. The HUD is a nice complement to menus, but not a replacement.

I agree as well. In applications where HUD is well implemented and I know what I want to do, it is fantastic, but if hierarchical menus were taken away, it would require I have a manual open every...

I started using Xubuntu after 10.10 because I disliked Unity for research computing purposes. I like the XFCE interface and may stay with it, but with 12.04, I am honestly giving Unity a fair trial....

I should have mentioned that I have installed the 64-bit version of Ubuntu.

Weird. I am pretty sure that I am using Unity-3D because when I type:

echo $DESKTOP_SESSION

I get "ubuntu" and not "ubuntu-2D". This is a fresh install, although I am using a home directory...

I am considering a return to Ubuntu with 12.04 (I have been using Xubuntu since 10.10); however, one really irritating feature of Unity is that I cannot see what windows are open on a given workspace...

Thanks for the reply! I have to admit that I resorted to installing gdm to solve this problem. Everything works fine now; howver, I will look into going back to stock with 12.04, so thank you for...

I will give that a try, but I never liked how XFCE acted when I installed it on top of Ubuntu in the past. Xubuntu has been great except for the few little details that are mostly tied to Thunar (I...

I also miss the iPhone integration I had with Ubuntu 10.10. Now that I am running Xubuntu 11.10, I cannot get any automount of the camera or music. That said, Clemetine does allow me to manage music,...

In case it helps -- when I am phsically logged in at the host machine and then ssh in from a remote machine, I am able to access the gpu; however I cannot use the -X or -Y flags when I connect.

I am running 64-bit Xubuntu (11.10) and want to use an AMD Radeon 7970 GPU for parallel processing. I have things sorted out so they work when I am logged in directly; however, I cannot access my GPU...

It looks like the Catalyst 12.2 driver is out. I managed to install on Xubuntu 11.10 using some of the methods you link to above; however, it is not perfect. I still get system hangs, although not as...

I just ran into this same problem (Xubuntu 11.10). I logged in via a terminal (as you suggested) and then checked the ~/.xsession-errors file. It turns out that the system could not open my...

Thanks Paddy. The encryption thing is driving me insane -- on the one hand we want to encrypt our data, but on the other we need to leave our data in plain view on the backup side. I will look into...

I am setting up rsnapshot to backup local disks to an external drive (eventually this will be a remote NAS, but for now it is a local eSATA HD). My question is how to set up the backup so that...

After not getting any responses, I decided to re-install Xubuntu (figuring that I had somehow botched the upgrade). This time, no problem installing acroread and other programs that require...

OK, so reading a bit more, I tried the following (from the comments here).


sudo apt-get install googleearth-package
make-googleearth-package --force
sudo dpkg -i...

I had this same issue today and found the answer here, referencing this fix. It worked for me with 64-bit Xubuntu 11.10.

edit: Weirdly, this only worked once. Now I am having the same problem... I...

Hi all. After a year of holding on to Ubuntu 10.10 for dear life, I finally decided to reinstall with Xubuntu 11.10. After a brief period of re-orientation, I am happy with the new system, although a...

My Airport Express historically worked using the setup described {here}. The problems were mainly that when audio stopped, the connection (and high traffic) to the AEX remained. Although not ideal,...

I have now tried re-setting the key a couple of times and still have the same problem. Any thoughts, or should I move this to another forum?

I installed freenx on my desktop and decided to set up a custom key following this tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX


sudo dpkg-reconfigure freenx-server

Here I chose 'Create...
