I just upgraded to ubuntu 12.04, and it's mostly working. My biggest problem so far: OpenOffice/LibreOffice Calc doesn't show up under the task switcher.
When I pres alt-tab to change windows, I can see all my windows except for any OpenOffice documents I have open. If I minimize other windows, then I can get to my Calc documents, but Alt-Tab…
I just upgraded two versions of Ubuntu to Oneiric after a recent set of updates broke Audacious 2.4.something in Maverick for me. When it was all finished my Asus Eee 1215N with the 1366x768 screen and the notoriously unsupported Nvidia Ion2 Optimus chipset was working on minimum compatibility fallbacks at 1024x768 resolution. So I did a…

I've just been fooling around with some code in C, an example of a really basic program is as follows which just, obviously, lists the directories using the ls system command.
#include <stdio.h>
int main (void) {
system("ls -l -d */");
printf("I've just listed the directories :-)\n");
return 0;
}
This runs fine, but…
My desktop computer (1 OS, 1 drive, 1 partition) hangs during the Windows 7 boot process. When selecting F8 I can select Safe Boot which allows me to see the files processed during the boot process. I know that the last line displayed is the last file that was SUCCESFULLY loaded. How do I find out what the next line, and the potential…
I would like to know what are the parameters that I have to take into consideration before deciding whether I should incorporate to a website a "Q&A system" or a full forum ?
I think forums allow better search capabilities (you can easily dig out old posts) over the "Q&A system", but the latter offer simpler / faster interaction…
Hello I've recently upgraded from 13.04 to 13.10 64bit.
I'm running AMD graphics with the proprietary drivers.
I have two user accounts. Mine(administrator) and my girlfriend's(standard)
My girlfriend clicks "switch user" from my lock screen and logs in fine.
I then try to click "switch user" from her lock screen and everything goes…
My user level: noob-ish, so please bear with me
I'm running 12.04 LTS. I have installed and, to some extent, configured xmonad 0.10
The "automagically" created xsession for it works fine as it is, but when I login it won't run a startup script I've created and "call from" /usr/share/xsessions/xmonad.desktop, if that's right. I've read…
I'm designing a level editor for game, and I'm trying to create sort of an 'event' system so I can chain together things. If anyone has used RPG Maker, I'm trying to do similar to their system. Right now, I have an 'EventTemplate' class and a bunch of sub-classed 'EventNodes' which basically just contain properties of their data.…
I have a laptop which I often plug into a larger screen with another display resolution. Thus I'm frequently changing the screen for the system to use. Also I've recently discovered the advantages of half-maximizing windows when working alternatingly in two or more applications.
When changing screens, however the windows…
I am creating a medium sized website using cPanel and their File Manager system and the majority of my pages are going to be the same with a different title and content section and I wanted to see if there is a system for making one general template file and then having all the other pages inherit from that file so all I…
i'm currently coding a 2D game in Java, and I would like to have some clues on how-to build this system :
the screen is moving on a grander map, for instance, the screen represent 800*600 units on a 100K*100K map.
When you command your unit to go to another position, the screen move on this map AND when you move your…
It is dangerous to assume that your data is sound. SQL already has intrinsic ways to cope with missing, or unknown data in its comparison predicate operators, or Theta operators. Can SQL be more effective in the way it deals with data quality? Joe Celko describes how the SQL Standard could soon evolve to deal with…

I'm looking to create a comparison and ranking system which allows users to view 2 items, click on the one that they feel is the better one and then get presented with 2 more random items and continue to do this until they decide to stop.
In the background, I want the system to use these wins and loses to rank each…
I often have more than ten windows open at the same time and some of them are of the same applications, notably gnome-terminal.
Often when I am currently on one terminal, I just want to get to another terminal. With Alt-Tab you have to choose from windows of all the applications, which is a pain. Even with Gnome3…
I have repeatedly convinced of the reliability of the XFS file system , and I was more than satisfied . I was happy with everything in Ubuntu 14.04 ( great software) , but there is a little "but ! " Basically, I work on OSX-Mavericks 10.9.3, which sees very Windows 8.1 and works wonders with NTFS, but does not see…
I have a machine with 3 hard drives; the primary, which is 750GB (drive 0), and 2 others, each of which is 640GB (drives 1 and 2).
On the last screen before the actual installation begins, this is how my hard drive configuration looks:
/dev/sda [DISK0, 750GB]
/dev/sda1 ntfs 104MB [Win7 System Reserved]

I have very specific task. I need to clear the desktop, downloads, documents and so on after every shutdown or finish.
For example, if anyone downloads something using Google Chrome, he will work with it and then he'll shutdown the computer for next use.
And when second user sits for working on the computer,…
In this article, I am going to show you a Country Application. User will select country from drop down and details of selected country will be displayed.
It just stopped working. After I boot Ubuntu it does not work. When I run unity --replace it works again, but after restart problem occurs again. And that happens on every reboot. I have some startup apps, but I don't think that can be the problem.
Any idea?
UPDATE:
Looks like I had some problems with…
