I'm having the same issue on Lucid, and to be honest, it's pushing me more towards Arch every day. You just know it's some kind of stupid "user-friendly" feature falling apart that is causing this.

Hi all,

I patched the latest screen source (4.0.3) with the patch here:
http://fungi.yuggoth.org/vsp4s/

it adds vertical split functionality to screen (surprised this isn't in the official...

got my desktop back with


sudo xinit gdm

Seems ubuntu was perfectly capable of performing this, but wouldn't do it automatically (the splash screen was just looping between itself and a...

4.8G /media

7.4M /sbin

yeah, but /usr and /tmp have their own partitions, so it's not surprising.

yes, I did use gparted on a livecd to expand and move the partitions

my partitions were like this
[swap][/][var][usr][tmp][home][boot][old1][old2]

now they're like this
[swap][<--/--> +...

I just ran the disk usage analyzer, and only had the program scan my "/" partition, the total space taken by files on that partition is 2.2Gb. This makes no sense.

I tried

Hi, I recently cleared out some old partitions, and "/" was getting full so I made it bigger. It went from about 2Gb to 7Gb.

Now when I boot into my OS I get a dialogue saying:

same here. This is kind of annoying and happened upon rebooting after an update. <_<

so if I do reinstall, and I elect not to format HOME, ubuntu will be smart enough to leave it alone?

Hi, my system is screwed.

Rather than sift through all the errors, I'd much rather reinstall ubuntu. However, I don't want to reinstall all my old programs.

I have my system partitioned with...

ok, scratch that. For each new item that comes in, these things start showing up again (starting at n=1).

I'm afraid my only recourse may be to delete the feeds and add them again, but won't I...

I spent a lot of time ripping my hair out. Whenever I got lightning installed without complaint, any manipulation of the calendar caused TB to lock up and crash.

This is on ubuntu 10.04 with TB...

well, in case this should ever happen to you:

- navigate to the folder in your console
- provided the name of your...

no-one?

I've done this before, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it again.

I need to ssh into a remote server, but instead of saying:

I've tried testing that theory with the following script:

if I run: ./sudo-test.sh, the screen locks

Cool trick. When it works, GRUB has a debian background. I'm guessing this is a dirty hack.

However, my other machines show the GRUB screen without pressing shift at boot. Any idea why my netbook...

Hi, I have a bit of a dilemma.

I'm using XFCE and it doesn't by default lock the screen before hibernating. I see this as a bit of a security risk, and as I can't hibernate while the screen is...

Hi all, need assistance in finding out how to debug this issue.

When I start up my laptop (Dell Mini 1012), I don't get the standard GRUB2 kernel selection menu. It gets skipped (and just loads...

I'm guessing you have a Fuze V1.

My firmware: 2.03.33A

Rhythmbox doesn't seem available in stable form for my version of the fuze :(

I second this desire, but I don't think there are any easy ways of doing this. Personally, I'd just like my display to act more like Mac OSX (now that I'm using Docky (regrettably coded in C#) )

Hi, I've been tinkering with my xfce config files and I think I broke something.

Is there a command to restore xfce to its default state?

If not, here's where I'm at (I'd rather not kill all...
