Not killing enough time on the chat? Want more useless things to do? Like flashing colours and 1980's games? Well have I got The perfect thing for you!
So I have Ubuntu 11.10 installed on my pc, and I want to upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04. When I check for any new updates it doesn't show any upgrades to 12.04. How can I fix this? Thanks!
After a few years of use, I'm grown skeptical on its benefits for coding versus plain Gedit (although :!compile % is great) but vim can be useful as a "middle level" text edit scripting solution. When I have to perform some very intricate operation on thousands of lines of text, vim macros often do the job easier than awk.
Development is 90% thought, 10% editors. Writing, on the other hand, involves very little per-line manipulation, making vim's modal natural superfluous and even counter-productive.
assuming he lives on campus... and i've found the correct linked in profile... (he's 19... this profile is a student from Singapore with the same name and who is in school from 2010 - 2014... (he would be 18 starting university... soooo)
My work is considering getting me a mobile broadband service with AT&T. Will it work in Ubuntu 12.04?
Are there any specific broadband modems that will not work in Ubuntu 12.04? any help is greatly appreciated.
@YiJiang i made my best guess that linked in was you.. then have to assume you're living on campus or near it.. so I looked up the campus address from the website... thats what it gave me.
@JacobJohanEdwards I've seen weird interop problems(a linksys router with a belkin card) where it sort of works and eventually stuff just goes wooly, but it SHOULD just work. I might add something about sticking to one vendor though
dammit, systemtap works in debian testing, not in ubuntu. anyways, i got what i needed, @aking1012 thanks again for pointing me to the debian images. :-)
@ruffEdgz Unity or gnome 3. I like unity but, you saw my problem that day bro, but unity does not support effects like this 10.10 do!, and it's not fast like 10.10 on my PC (old-Gold)

@ruffEdgz, it doesn't work. I mean, I type in the terminal synclient HorizHysteresis=20 and synclient VertHysteresis=20 after that to verify the value I type synclient and I see the values changed
restarting Ubuntu the values roll back to default values which are "8"
ok, I'm not to sure about your computer but I believe to make sure those values are set all the time, you will nee to add them to your xorg.conf file... Do you see that file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
@Dave well I know that you can set these options in the xorg.conf but I'm trying to see how to make a default xorg.conf for your system but when I ran the command to do that on my own computer, it didn't work :/
As Ubuntu 10.10 seems to neither detect my graphics card (Intel 82852/855GM) automatically nor use the corresponding Intel driver even after manually installing it, I am looking into manually configuring X (shouldn't I?). Where can I find the configuration files I need to edit?
If you need to configure some devices anyway, you can do so by placing a file in the /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/ (Ubuntu 10.04) or /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
I've been trying to get this right and I'm so nearly there, but not quite. This machine has an Intel adapter with one monitor, and an ATI adapter with two. I'm happy to use xinerama to get this working.
Here is my xorg.conf (Ubuntu 12.04):-
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Dell1"
Option "...
Something is wrong with my OpenGL after my 12.04 upgrade
All OpenGL apps run slowly. Including but not limited to Google Earth,glxgears,Draftsight e.t.c

When reading into the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d for the 50-synaptics.conf but it seems that it might be overwritten but that is the file you will need to touch to make sure those options are always there after a reboot
When trying to 'Open Externally' i'm getting - Could not execute configured external command 'explorer' (Failed to execute child process "explorer" (No such file or directory)).
