Hi Guys,
Can someone point me to some instructions for configuring multiple monitors in Ubuntu 10.04 using the generic drivers (nv)? I can't seem to find this online.

I have a Brazilian Keyboard that I need to use in my machine for some testing, but none of Brazilian Layouts that came with Ubuntu Lucid Lynx release are 100% compatible (I'm missing question marks and "/").
How do I download additional keyboard layouts?
I'm having trouble setting a keyboard shortcut in Ubuntu. Trying to use the win (super) key as a modifier, but as soon as I press the win key the keyboard shortcut UI just assumes I wanted to use just that key.
I figure the easiest thing would be to modify the settings file itself, where I should be able to put in whatever I want. But I can't figure out where that's stored. Does anyone know?

Hi,
I installed libjpeg62 and imagemagick on my ubuntu 10.04 (lucid).
Running identify command with a gif works but running it with a jpeg produces this error:
identify: no decode delegate for this image format `stream,13307,0.jpg' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/532.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!
I have enable the following plugin that allows me to make a screenshot of selected by me area:
Screenshot plugin
Ubuntu 12.04
Unfortunately, I am not able to make a screenshot of my launchers sub menus (after right click of icon on the launcher a menu appears).
Actually, I have enable this plugin because I was not able to make a screenshot of this sub menus using the ordinary print screen button.
Is there a way to fix this?
I've installed Ubuntu Server under Virtualbox just to get a nice little shell. I've also installed the VirtualBox "Guest Additions" and set "Shared Clipboard: Bidirectional".
I still can't seem to get any copy-paste working.
Am I missing something here?
I've installed gpm which gives mouse support in server mode (no X), and allows copy-paste using the mouse, but still the VirtualBox integration doesn't work.
On windows I have a few AutoHotkey scripts that let me hit various key combinations to resize windows to particular pre-defined sizes, or move them to certain areas of the screen (or both). I'm wondering how I would accomplish this in Ubuntu (gnome).
Most of the searches I did for a linux version of autohotkey seemed to be centered around just setting up simple keyboard shortcuts (key combo X launches app Y, etc). I didn't see anything about scripting window size and placement beyond maximize/minimize.
I'm trying to create a local user on a new Ubuntu box. I'm unable to change the password, and I keep getting the error below. The user gets added to the shadow file, but I can't get it to set a password. How can this be fixed?
admin@theserver:~$ sudo useradd jamz
[sudo] password for admin:
admin@theserver:~$ sudo passwd jamz
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
passwd: password unchanged
admin@theserver:~$
The wireless on my Ubuntu works on all the other wireless networks. But on this university network it never forms a connection. But I can see the signal at 80% (indeed I see several signals at 80%, 40% and 20% by the same name university-network name). On a Windows XP laptop, the connection is formed as usual, and there is only one network visible to Windows.
Is it possible to use the windows xp that I installed in a virtual box in Windows.
To be used in Ubuntu 9.10 Virtual box? So that I won't install the whole thing again.
How to install an anonymous proxy in Ubuntu 9.10 server which listens on every public network ethernet interfaces?
I have other service like Nginx, MySQL running on that server so I hope the proxy server wont conflict with them.
In ubuntu(using version 12.04), when you drag a window to the left or right side of your screen the window gets auto-maximized in height and is half of the screen on the left or right side respectively.
What would be super useful imo is a hotkey that autodetects what side of the screen your window is on the most and then expands it to a state identical to the one described in the above paragraph.
Has anyone programatically done this before? If not, how would you go about achieving this?
I'm using wine in order to install and run yahoo messenger on ubuntu(9.10) But it does not detect the webcam. Not unlike in skype that it can detect(skype not run through wine).
What do I do in order for it to detect the cam?
I would like to enable the "extra" visual effects on Ubuntu. When I choose the option for "extra," it searches for drivers and then says, "Desktop effects could not be enabled." Why doesn't this work on my computer?
I'm so sick of this problem. Some time back I changed to windows because of this, and now I'm back in Ubuntu and guess what. This still hasn't been fixed. How is it possible that something so simple yet crippling isn't fixed faster? This is why windows always wins in the end, because of stupid details like this.
I have only previously played with ubuntu using virtual machines with VMware Fusion. So everything just sort of worked. I've never had to install any drivers. I'm considering putting it on some real hardware and using it as a media center. What should I be looking for as far as checking hardware compatibility? How does installing drivers work? Any quick and easy recommendations / guides?

In Ubuntu 9.10, how do I change it so as not to show a list of users at the login screen? I would prefer it to be like 9.04 where you typed in the username, then the password.
I'm curious if it is possible to mount a partition encrypted by cryptsetup with LUKS securely and automatically on Ubuntu 10.0.4 LTS.
For example, if I use the key for the encrypted partition, than that key has to be presented on a device that is not encrypted and if someone steals my disk they'll be able to find the key and decrypt the partition.
Is there any safe way to mount an encrypted partition? If not, does anything exist to do what I want?

i cant get most of my fn keys to work in this laptop. i especially need fn+f8, which switches between trackpoint & touchpad. what i tried:
sudo nano /etc/modules
(added lenovo-sl-laptop to the file) then:
sudo modprobe lenovo-sl-laptop
this failed: FATAL: Module lenovo_sl_laptop not found.
as for the hdapsd i dont have it installed, since i dont know how to configure it (i guess it helps hdd protection).
Is it possible to do the following in Ubuntu? If so can someone point me in the right direction.
Say you want to set a keyboard shortcut to do the following:
For examples sake, set Alt+F to open Firefox and maximize it, but only if Firefox is not already running. If it is running and not maximized, then maximize the most recently touched Firefox window. If it is maximized, then minimize Firefox.
Thanks, Joe
I can't turn off my ATI adapter. I have applied the fix, but still lspci | grep VGA gives
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M92 LP [Mobility Radeon HD 4300 Series] (rev ff)
and my power consumption is about 15W (Wi-Fi on).
I run ubuntu 9.10, kernel 2.6.31-14-generic. BIOS version 2.30
I recently added NFS to my Ubuntu server and edited /etc/fstab to mount the network file system. After a reboot I am not getting the following error several times on the console and it will not boot /etc/init.d/rc: 317: sed: Permission Denied
Any advice? I have commented out the lines that I added to /etc/fstab and the issue still persists.
Thank You,
