oh yeah, i have a question. Why does the command $fdisk -l return nothing? sudo fdisk -l returns partition info. Or rather, why doesnt $fdisk -l return "permission Denied"?
@j0h It probably doesn't "catch" not able to access any device since you can specify a particular device and you may own a pseudo-device like a loop based disk or something
Thanks Thomas and Seth! The compiz reset and unity restart did the trick.

Someone want to add a comment about thanks only answers?
@Mitch I just meant you may want to amend your answer to mention that although it is in the repos, if they wanted to use the latest version they could follow your directions.

I have a machine running Windows 7-ultimate 32-bit. I installed vmware workstation on it and Ubuntu 13.04 i386 on that vmware. But on Ubuntu I don't hear any sound, any start up or movie or music sound. I have installed other OSes on that vmware but no one has that sound problem.
its highly probable that this question be marked duplicate, but i post this as i could find a suitable answer elsewhere.

@Mitch that is also a sign that you didn't site the orginal place you got the information... because it was not you that made the goo.gl link... you just copied info from somewhere.
@mateo_salta all hell broke loose, I lost power, and one of the kids was screaming. And between dobey's comment, and talking to Amith KK I just lost it. I know this is not an excuse, but the source is added.
To what extent is it acceptable for a user to only gain reputation through minor edits? This is a question somewhat in reply to: Is it acceptable to make small edits?
I noticed this user has gained almost all of his rep through small edits (capitalization of words, mostly). On the one hand that'...
I am in kind of a pickle. I have a VPS, for which I am paying next to nothing and grandfathered in. Therefore I am unwilling to part with it. And I want it to perform a smidgen more by making it accessible via VNC.

@NathanOsman - I checked out request type decorators and it looks like the right way to do magic transforms. It's probably not in django main because it's less pythonic and more ruby-ish to have forced magic transforms instead of logical defined transforms. Point being thanks for pointing out one possible how and after some reading I get why it's not in main.
i'ld guess not, but you could test it by changing it. my guess is it's getting its top left position from the parent container (smaller than full-screen) and grows on the right so it looks like a clear right.
@Seth, about the "minor edits": it seems that "improving" a suggested edit hides the problems from the suggester (if he not really reading each one), because he gets the rep as soon as the improvements done. So it might be helpful to keep "improvements" rather small :-) or else reject the edit with a good explanation.
I'd like to read a list of messages displayed by notify-osd from time to time. I'm using 12.04 still, if it matters. Is this possible?
These two questions from 2010 indicate that a log file should exist at ~/.cache/notify-osd.log. I have no such file, and I'd like to know if this is a bug (in wh...
After carefully looking around (A LOT) I found a code change in 2011 about making notify-osd not output by default to the log file because this was used for debugging purposes and wrote to the HDD every time it did. To activate this feature you can do it 2 ways, a temporary method and a more perm...
@NathanOsman well, it used to be more simple when a "copier" neither scaned to a computer nor printed from one. I bet most scanner/printers have a seperate copy function that would work diffrent if it was told to scan then print.
