You have my sincere thanks, dionblundell, that have solved my problem with the 'missing filter' error.

Hey, gr8, I think it might help you to re-install drivers after you provide your system with...

Harfin, it may help to check that you do not have any unneeded spaces in the command.

I would like to clarify one detail — does this mean that you will not be able to maximize the Skype when it is minimized to tray, even when no indicator is displayed; if so what use is this solution?...

Thank you, this have solved my problem. I think this thread should be made sticky to enhance visibility.

You are wrong. 12.10 does have 304.51 in its default shipping and is affected by this bug, judging by my desktop. I did not make any modifications to the driver installation since the upgrade.

I have to agree to this. In 12.04 there was a way to easily set a custom resolution via the nvidia-settings utility, however in 12.10 Nvidia drivers have been updated and this option is gone.

Can...

I have ran short SMART test from the Disk Utility just now and it says that my disk is "healthy" and Disk Utility identifies my drive as Parallel ATA. I did not physcially change anything inside my...

I have made a clean install of Precise Pangolin on my desktop PC shortly after it was released in April and at some point after that I have started to experience an issue with the boot time being...

Hmm. That is quite interesting point, I do have a mouse button that is neither assigned nor physically present — it is numbered 13; will try that.

However, I have heard that CompizConfig sometimes...

Many thanks, I have already figured that one out myself. Indeed, 'xinput' is very handy for remapping mouse buttons and I was able to find solution to make zoom slider work and even scroll here (read...

Marvelous, this is how I think it should be by default.

I have found this thread, but changing text in the field shortDescroption in the file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.xml for corresponding languages and logging in/out did not seem to work for me.
...

Disclaimer: I do realize that this question have been asked and answered many times, but all of the howtos and instructions I have found are obsolete. Regrettably, despite quite a lot of effort, I...

I would like to change the displayed name of the keyboard layout indicator — for example, right now mine displays codes like «en, ru, uk» which does not look nice on the panel. In the latest editions...

Thanks, I believe that is all I wanted to know about this.

Okay, thanks for the info.

I however have one more question left — when I do the install and manually specify partitioning, should I allocate all space there is on the drive for system partition?...

The absence of replies must indicate that when you follow forums writing style and common sense and do update your last post instead of creating a new one, the update is not sent to the people...

@mrcoolinux That is quite interesting, but is there a way to do the opposite thing?

That would be more useful in my case — I plan to buy a laptop in the following year, and would like to move...

@Blasphemist An interesting point, thanks. I will look into it.

@Herman Many thanks for detailed and comprehensive reply.

I bought this SanDisk flash drive for something like $17. I think...

Thank you both for the responses.

@Pariah819 I will look into it.

@oldfred Yes, of course I understand that I would have to install boot loader on to the USB, not on my hard drive.

As far...

I long wanted to satisfy that geeky itch and create USB live stick, to use as fallback system and/or in case of emergency.

I have got 8 Gb SanDisk stick. I did a little research, and it is often...

Yes, thank you, but I figured that out myself.

Problem still remains — it do not place windows where they should belong on the system startup, I guess that's because a lot of things happen too...

I don't think it's actually Ubuntu, I have added printer the way Morbius1 suggested, with "http://192.168.1.2:631/printers/canon", it was successfully added, but still I can't print anything from XP...

I took a look at it and it's quite strange and buggy, for instance, "Grab" dialogue do not grab anything and you have to fill all details yourself.

And worst, it do not work at all in the start...

Could problem be at a Windows XP side? I'll take a look.
