If you are applying Kris Harper's answer above instead of logging in and out (which is slow, painful, loses your state, and smells of microsoft), you can kill unity-panel-service.
ps -ef | grep unity-panel-service

This will then immediately respawn a new panel serv...
I'd like to know if there is some "easy" way to configure dual monitors in Ubuntu. I expect the following behaviour:
The mouse cannot be hidden in "the black zone" that occurs when the two monitors have different sizes.
There is a keyboard shortcut to move a window from one monitor to the other.
Well, Ubuntu is pretty much going great for me except for the sound. Sound plays using "Internal Audio Analog Stereo", and the quality of the music isn't as good as when I use Windows. The only other option to enable sound with is my HDMI connection which I don't want to use.
If anyone knows how...
^^^ This. No matter what an answer's score is, if it's accepted, the question is marked answered. So as iSeth says, there's no need to do anything if a question has an accepted answer.
Interestingly, it turns out this is almost impossible to do. Remapping Alt key to behave as another Ctrl key is not a solution because you lose the Alt key functionalities (some of which are essential, like Alt+Tab).
So how can I get a behavior similar to MacOS where cmd key is used for keyboard...
Its look like you have a grub entry which is created using bcdedit ?!
Go to Windows control panel and check whether there is "Wubi
uninstaller" menu or not. If it is there then use it to completely
uninstall previous Ubuntu. Use CCleaner to clean the registry
afterwards.
– Curio...
Also, a quick refresher on the criteria on what it means to have the question 'answered': Either be closed, or have an answer that has an upvote. Don't upvote crap, but don't be trigger happy with the flags/close votes. :)
@iSeth "This edit changes too much in the original post; the original meaning or intent of the post would be lost." very general comment. yeah, well, I don't agree with it and approved it.
one, two, doesn't matter. if it's a good answer, make it epic by doing an edit and tossing it on the frontpage, someone will probably see it and give it another vote.
@gertvdijk Normally I quickly approve edits that replace sudo with gksudo for graphical programs. But in this case, that was the whole answer. It seemed to me it would be preferable to post another, better, more thorough answer. Furthermore, gparted is one of the few graphical programs where the benefit to running it with gksudo rather than sudo is insignificant, because it doesn't create per-user configuration files.
I'm suspecting that most of my disputed flags are because they got disputed after the question/answer was improved significantly. Everytime I come back to this disputed questions/answers I see it's been changed so much... Am I flagging posts too soon?
so when the 10K user sees it, they click the "disputed" one, because they don't see evidence that anything needed to happen. because it's already been improved.
I need crap to flag. Where's that link? @jrg can you pin it for easy access? The one with the list of low votes + no answers etc. time to put you to work.
I only see "live bookmarks" when I click the green "radio" type RSS button to subscribe to a feed. There's an option to add other applications, but the application I wish to add, Google Reader, isn't found on the system -- it's an online aggregator.

But also... the edit made by the person who shall not be named was... insufficient, in my opinion. There are clear improvements that needed to be made.
Ok, one last thing before I leave: If the moderators were to come up with a chat session (like the ubuntu classroom days or something) that talked about flagging, and how helpful it is, and the minor nuances of flagging, would people either attend or read the transcript?

Also, is there a way to save my place or if I cancel this or my computer dies, will it lose the place?
If I DO lose my place. Can I download a ISO myself and plac...
I have a 2TB SATA drive that was being used as file storage on my UBUNTU computer. I was re-imaging my windows box so I used that drive to back up some files to it. I did this by taking the drive from my windows PC and putting it in my UBUNTU PC, mounted it and copied the files over.

When I connect my iPhone (in order to download photos/videos from it), it is automatically mounted. This is desired.

I have two laptops with Ubuntu 10.04 installed. One of them had a problem; I was not sure if it was a hardware or software problem. Sometimes it would suddenly start working extremely slow (it needed a few minutes to open an application, such as a terminal window) and afterward the screen would b...
I hope I'm not posting a question that already exist, but all I find so far are rather about configuring a second monitor which at least gives a sign of life at some time; which mine does not.

Your best bet is to install Ubuntu using Wubi. It's not ideal but it's the only option you have (that doesn't include losing your Windows install).
The only other option is to get a new hard drive or to completely wipe Windows.
I had no issues with my startup until i went into network manager, went to wireless, and added a wireless connection... when i restarted the pc to apply the changes, i was hit with the "waiting for network configuration..." delay. it eventually boots, but only after a few extra minutes of waiting...
