<p>This is what I did to test: I booted with a Ubuntu 10.10 LiveUSB, I updated everything using Synaptic: including pulse and other sound related packages, everything except the kernel. After that I opened Sound Preferences,made sure sound input was not muted, moved the input volume all the way, opened Sound Record and tried to to record some sound. I could hear only static. Basically I cannot get any sound from the microphone that is on the chasis of this lenovo x300 laptop.</p>
<p>My theory is that pulse or alsa are only able to get sound input if I connect an external mic to the jack. I tried using an external mic a few months ago and it worked. But I don't want to use external mics, I want to use the mic on the laptop itself. </p>
<p>Any suggestion on how to solve this problem?</p>

<p>In the Gnome file dialog under 'Places' I can add and edit bookmarks to directories. That list however not only contains my bookmarks, but also a list of all partitions on the system that Gnome seems to gather automatically. I can't edit that list as the right-click-menu items for that are grayed out.</p>
<p>How can I get rid of those automatically generated entries and limit it to just my bookmarks?</p>

10542 | 1 | 10918 | 2010-10-31T08:37:55.283 | 1 | 2743 | <p>I've have my Dell U2311H monitor working fine at 1920x1080x60hz using the DVI-D cable that came with it (18 pin, single-link).</p>
<p>When I try and attach a longer 5m cable which supports Dual-link (24 pins) the monitor doesn't work and displays the following message:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"The current input timing is not
supported by the monitor display.
Please change your input timing to
1920x1080@60Hz or any other monitor
listed timing as per the monitor
specifications."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Nothing else changes except the cable, rebooting doesn't help. As far as I understand, dual-link cables should be backwards compatible with single-link.</p>
<p>Weirdly, in nvidia-settings it says DFP-0 has "Connection link: Dual"</p>
<p>What could be causing this? Is there some way in xorg.conf to force it to single-link mode? There doesn't seem to be any option on the monitor other than selecting the DVI-D input.</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> Since it seems to be the cable length causing the issue (see my answer below), is there a way to save the EDID info correctly returned with the short cable and force it to be used with the long cable?</p>

There is no password for any of these shares and they can be happily accessed from Windows on any other computer on the network. (And all the Windows computers can access Ubuntu's Samba shares).</p>
<p>If I use the Network place in Nautilus, the computer itself is visible under smb://workgroup/. However, when I try to mount that, Nautilus asks me for a password! With no other option, I entered the username and password for the one user on the machine. It tried to do something for a second then asked again (ad infinitum).</p>
<p>Trying to add a printer with CUPS is equally broken. Its various interfaces have given me “Unable to connect to CIFS host” and “NT_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER,” but I'm not sure if it's the same problem. If we can figure out the file shares first, maybe that will explain itself.</p>
<p>Samba itself should be almost pristine. I have not touched any configuration files; just added some shares through the Folder Sharing options in Nautilus (nautilus-share).</p>
<p>Any idea what's going on here? :)</p>

I installed Vim about a day ago using apt-get so it's not the default version you get with the system. Here's the problem, whenever I type text in to a text file in Vim's insert mode the comma character does not appear. No matter how many times I press the comma button it won't display it or add it to the text file. Is there something wrong with the character mapping in Vim? Any suggestions for fixing this?</p>

</blockquote>
<p>First off, I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 on a 30gb partition, the rest of my hdd is for a vista partition. The way I installed this was, I shrunk the vista partition and installed Ubuntu in the largest block of free space. Ubuntu has been working fine for a few weeks, and I've loved it, but today I was doing something in Vista (something simple) and I restarted to go back into ubuntu, and when it tried to boot up I got a message that said: "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode. Your screen, graphics card, and input devices could not be detected correctly. You will have to configure these yourself." I click OK, and it gives me a few options but all of them are dead ends. Basically, I'm stuck in CLI right now without a clue of how to fix it. I've tried doing a full update and it hasn't made a difference. I've already been asking for help in #Ubuntu and #Radeon and I was directed by some of them here, so I hope I can find some answers here.</p>
<p>Also, I'm using an ATI Radeon X1200. Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Another thing, while I was trying to get help in #radeon I was told that it could possibly be <a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31154" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this bug</a>. </p>

10693 | 1 | 10696 | 2010-11-01T10:30:56.303 | 5 | 1277 | <p>I read <a href="https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/packageselection-desktop-n-specialized-unity-form-factor" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> that these will be some of the features of the Desktop version of Unity:</p>
<ul>
<li>A floating Unity Dash that can be moved to all edges of the screen.</li>
<li>Floating, overlapping windows with their title bars and controls on them, not on the top panel.</li>
<li>The home screen consolidated into a simple pop-down menu that extends down from the top left of the screen and allows you access to your programs and desktop search.</li>
</ul>
<p>I'm not sure how closely these points represent the plans for Unity on the desktop. When it talks about a floating Dash, does it mean the Launcher? As far as I know the dash is fullscreen so, how could it be moved to the edges? Also, why move it if it closes as soon as you choose an item? If it means the Launcher, do you plan to allow moving it to all edges?</p>
<p>Isn't floating, overlapping windows with their title bars and controls on them what we always had? also, Desktop-Unity <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/10481/does-will-unity-support-disabling-the-global-menu">is supposed to keep using the global menu</a> so, doesn't that contradict the specification?</p>
<p>Finally, supposing "the home screen" means the dash, do you plan to make it not-fullscreen?</p>

10716 | 1 | 10732 | 2010-11-01T12:32:22.100 | 3 | 922 | <p>I am running a 64 Bit Ubuntu, AMD quadcore, with 4gb of RAM and a Nvidia gtx260 graphics card. The issue is as follows:</p>
<p>Once Ubuntu has booted and I get to the login screen, my screen goes black and I hear the login sound. This is often spontaneous; sometimes it loads as it should, and others it goes black. Previously to login, I would restart my computer until the login screen successfully loaded, and after 4-5 attempts I would get it working. These days I use <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>F1</kbd> to access the command line and use the following command <code>sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart</code>, but again this can take sometimes up to five attempts before it successfully displays the login screen.</p>
<p>I have previously googled this problem, and attempted many of the proposed workarounds (editing the xorg.conf file etc.), and none have worked. My guess is that the proprietary graphics drivers are at fault (as the Plymouth theme is the wrong size and ugly also). Is there proper workaround for this? if so, please let me know, as it can try my patience immeasurably and could potentially cripple a First-time-users experience.</p>

<p>Why is that?</p>
<p><strong>Edit April 30, 2012</strong><br>
Python 3.2 is not shipped by default in Ubuntu. There are plans to make Python 3.2 default in 12.10, however, and make it the only version shipped by then. Python 2.7 will then not be on the default ISO anymore. Note: this is only envisaged, not certain yet.</p>

<p>Even if a user doesn't have any rights on a directory, it can rename/move it as long as the source and destination parent directory are writable.</p>
<p>I had a similar problem on macosx. Users inadvertently drag&drop the "Library" folder somewhere else breaking everything as there are applications depending on that path.</p>
<p>I don't it would be better to depend on another path, outside the home dir, or use ".files" but I have a legacy situation.</p>
<p>I tried to fix the problem my putting the dir somewhere else and then making a "bind" mount</p>
<pre>
mount -o bind sourcepath /home/user/somedir
</pre>
<p>It prevents the renaming of the dir:</p>
<pre>
mv: cannot move `somedir' to `somethingelse': Device or resource busy
</pre>
<p>Does anybody know an easier way?</p>

It appears to me that if i make a custom image that when i chose the Install option from the boot menu it will actually install that custom image with all of the packages that I chose and not the default ubuntu installation. But I wanted to make sure that is the case because if I cannot create an <em>installable</em> custom cd then its useless for what I want to do. Can anybody clarify this for me? Thank you.</p>
