I was using my LCD monitor with my laptop properly with Windows 7. But I am facing a problem in Ubuntu.
It connects in a proper way but on pressing backspace it automatically moves back to my laptop screen. Sometimes pressing any key moves back to my laptop screen.
How can I fix this behavior?
I've just made a fresh installation of Ubuntu 10.04 on my Dell Inspiron 1420. Without updates, I'm not able to play media files. Is there any procedure to install updates via offline as I don't have a internet connection at home.
Thanku.

My only issue that is stopping me from moving to Linux is the dual monitor support. If I use TwinView, maximizing an application causes it to take over both monitors, not maximize in the current monitor the way it works in Windows. If I use two separate X windows, certain programs default to a specific monitor with no way of moving it to the other desktop. Has anyone else had these issues? Are there any detailed dual monitor resources.for Linux/Ubuntu I can read?
What is the standard/correct way to re-install grub2?

I have set up a Ubuntu PC on a next work that is behind a ISA Proxy.
When I run the command
sudo apt-get update
I get several messages with this message:
502 Proxy Error (The ISA Sever denied the specified Uniform Resource Locator)
The computer can see the internet and adding the proxy settings in the Network Preferences does not help. When I do a ifconfig Im on a 192 address which is not the usual subnet our PCs are on.
Any ideas?

i just installed a ubuntu 12.04 server on a 2008 R2 Hyper-V server and all is fine (networking/storage ...). There is just one thing, when i halt my linux (using "sudo halt"), i can see on the console that the system is halted but the vm status on hyper-v is still "started". Then i need to stop it on the hyper-v management tool.
Anybody has an idea on how to properly stop this VM on hyper-V automatically ?
Thanks,
Alex
I installed Ubuntu on my external hard drive but it won't boot on my laptop. It works fine on my desktop but not my laptop. It says it can't find root... what do i do?
I noticed that the username I used to install Ubuntu got added to a bunch of groups in the /etc/group file. I'm getting rid of unneeded accounts. Would anything break if I removed that first account?
I have a small java project that handle connections.
In order to run it from the terminal I have to cd into the folder that contains the source and run the following command:
java -cp classes com.packagename.mainclass
Where classes is the folder that contains the classes.
I want ubuntu to run this application on startup, is there a Java command I can use? Or am I just better off creating a shell script?
Thanks!
Normally when I read a book I use a bookmark held horizontally under the current line I'm reading to help me keep my eyes on the right spot. When I read a PDF or other document on my computer I would like to be able to do the same thing, only with a line on the screen controlled by the up and down arrow keys. Any suggestions for an application which would do this? I'm a Ubuntu Linux user.
Which command should I use to download security uodates for Ubuntu Hardy?
Ideally would like the command to also create a log file listing files downloaded, install and any errors.
Thanks for help.
I can't wrap my brain around the new pam.d configuration syntax used in Ubuntu 10.04. How do I setup PAM so that it allows users stored in my LDAP database to login.
I already configured nscd, so id <user> or getent passwd are already listing my LDAP users, but PAM doesn't work, whether the normal shell login nor su.
i have ubuntu 10.10 x86_64 with nvidia 9800 gt and nvidia driver version 270.41.06
my video card has two DVI sockets, but i only use single monitor configuration. Now, i think the main DVI socket might be busted, so i want to try to enable the other as the main one, however, i don't know how to achieve that. I tried just plugging the monitor in that socket but it won't just auto-detect (it would have been way too easy to just work)
I've installed ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and ran apt-get install couchdb. This installed 0.10.0, however the newest is 0.11.0 and I would like to install that from source.
What's the appropriate way of upgrading the current install to the newest version?
I have Ubuntu 10.04 guest on Windows XP host. I need to use a specific VPN software that works only on Windows. How should I configure virtualbox/guest so that the VPN connection would be visible on guest?
I already tried NAT and bridged network settings. With both of these options I get only normal internet connection to work, but sites requiring VPN don't work on guest, only on host.
