@NathanOsman does this sound relevant ", but due to the timing of the re-clocking functions, does not always complete in the blanking period, which can lead to flicker in the display." wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI
Someone wanna throw a vote on this to resolve the question?
@EliahKagan I'm curious why you think this post is not a duplicate of this post. They appear to be asking the same thing and the answers are very similar.
This is a pretty simple question, at least it seems like it should be, about sudo permissions in Linux.
There are a lot of times when I just want to append something to /etc/hosts or a similar file but end up not being able to because both > and >> are not allowed, even with root.
Is there some...
Why can't I use echo $1 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness in a simple bash script?
It gives me the error: echo: write error: Invalid argument.
I am trying to set the colors of my Ubuntu Box to match the 16 colors palette of the Solarized color theme.
I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 Server, no GUI option enabled.
When I ssh into this VM and I do a
$ echo $ TERM
it displays the value xterm. So I was guessing I could use .Xresources to ...
Hi to all, "The best thing todo is to wait until this Thursday (23rd October) and then upgrade to the latest release of OpenStack Charms." Do you know, are these information somewhere public?
@NathanOsman I love that one. It makes me giggle a little sometimes when I get frustrated and want to shoot a keyboard with mind-bullets.
@Seth I doubt it will have zonky in it, because of the "Zonk" fail on let's make a deal. Why would you name a release something close enough to a joke about failing that it's that easy to make?
As this question is merged to this, It is also need to provide more information. because of my this answer deleted, I tried to revise this answer but Braiam not accepting (see revisions). So now I want to undelete my this

I installed ubuntu 14.04 as the only operating system on a computer with 1 hard disk and choosed this partition table:
sda1 (fat32) for EFI
sda2 (ext4) for /home

I have Nginx set up as a reverse proxy to a uWSGI application (a Django app). Due to the nature of the content that the Django app is hosting, sometimes the URLs get long. Really long. Because of this, the Referer HTTP header can also sometimes get long.
Here's the problem. Nginx drops the Refer...
@KasiyA IIRC, .desktop files are like scripts. They need the executable bit to be set. Imagine if you get a .desktop off the internet that SAYS it's for a super-fast version of firefox when it reality it goes to rm -rf /
My Opinion: Ubuntu 14.10 should now be supported here. It's reached its "Final Freeze", so the version that was out on the 16th is the version that is going to be released tomorrow. Support it! (src)
@Seth How can you bypass the 20-CV restriction of the review boards? Mod power?
Partially related to this question.
I have Ubuntu 14.04 in a VM running on my Windows host. When I enter seamless mode, nothing happens at all. Nothing Ubuntu is on my screen. How do I properly use Seamless mode with Windows?
I am running VirtualBox 4.3.12 as well as the latest Guest Additions.
@Whaaaaaat seamless is sort of broken with Unity in the guest... With Gnome Flashback (Metacity) it tries to work somewhat better but not remotely close to usable. I can't test with a Windows host, so it may be different there.
Well here's the thing: the dashboard is useless without at least one of those permissions. But each section (though there's only one enabled at the moment) uses different permissions.
I am developing a screen capture application, and I need access to the indicator to create notification. I am using Ubuntu SDK. I am targeting the current Unity (not Unity 8). I can't find the API for creating the notifications and accessing the indicator. Code example would help me a lot.
@Whaaaaaat: if you're still around, could you please try the Stack Exchange auth on my website again? I've got logging set up so I'll see the error that the page generates.
