Hi Fragos - thanks for your advice. It seems all this has had to do with the persistent gsd error - being cause by etc/network/interface and (you were right) /etc/hosts settings carried over from a...
Hi Chill... thanks. I clicked on to that myself yesterday and managed to get rid of the gsd error. I also had to edit my /etc/hosts file.
I had previously had to edit it to get samba to work in...
Well... that didn't work. I also edited /etc/network/interfaces and replaced all eth1 entries with wlan0. Wireless failed on reboot.
In the network manager I ditched my old saved location (based...
Hi - cheers for the reply. Actually I don't have anything in etc/iftab in terms of adaptor names. Just the following:
# This file is no longer used and has been automatically replaced.
# See...
This is an old thread but thought I'd throw something in which might aid peoples searches. I'm running Hardy and the boot messages seem to go to /var/log/messages afterwards being archived in .gz...
Hardy wireless adapter names wrong?
Hi all... Have a bit of an issue with my wireless adapter in Hardy. While the internet and network are actually working I think it is causing other issues on login related to a persistent...
Update... I'm thinking that this may all be a result of the gnome-settings-daemon error that I get every time I log in. Its seem that sudo gedit does work it just takes a VERY long time to come up...
Hi. /etc/hosts looks fine. There is only 1 user on my system 'metroat' plus root. I have attached a couple of screenshots of each one's user privileges.
I have also attached a summary of the...
can't run gedit/nautilus as root
Hi all...
Have been trying to fix a gnome-settings-daemon bug which was once bearable but got really bad after the latest round of hardy updates.
See...
I've checked out that page before actually. Dbus-X11 is installed automatically with Hardy (my version of Ubuntu as above). I think this issue has a variety of possible sources. For example when I...
Hi Nicolai - thanks for your reply. Here is the GSD error message:
There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.
Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings

Gnome settings daemon error driving me nuts!
Hi all... I am running Hardy on an Acer 5652WLMI with compiz & mac4lin and it looks and runs great except for the unshakeable gnome-settings-daemon error. It used to appear nearly every time I...
Firefox 3 beta backwards
Hi all... I am having a wee problem with Firefox 3b5. Unlike most I actually really liked using the horizontal scroll as fwd and back in firefox 2 on my Synaptics touchpad (part of an Acer 5652WLMI...
Hi I was looking for just such a solution for the mail notifier. I installed the mail notification program with its evolution-specific counterpart and found that it does not refocus Evolution. It...
Fix things without reinstalling the OS!
Re: Can't get trash icon back on desktop!
Nice one Groucho - you were exactly right... I had simply selected the reinstall option in Synaptic and all my saved sessions were still there. Renamed the folder, logged out and back in and when I...
Hi all - I'm having a problem with Nautilus (i think) in 8.04. I have recently been tinkering with Mac4Lin to get an OSX look and now have it pretty much perfect. However I am unable to get my...
Hi - thought I'd interject... Ubuntu Studio also uses a different 'real-time' kernel which is installed alongside the generic kernel when you add the ubuntustudio metapakage from synaptic and appears...
Managed to sucessfully compile 1.0.16 from source and onboard intel-hda sound is working. Emu Cardbus card is recognised but not got any sound out of the h/p jack. Only crashed once after but think...
Just read your reply - thanks... obviously you've been gnashing on this for a while so feel free to ignore my perhaps not so sage advice above. What do you mean by PATH environment variable btw, I am...
Try going through the reinstall from source using the module-assistant method. I had a very similar problem and had to go back to 1.0.14 from 1.0.16 (although my HDA Intel chipset is officially...
Ahoyhoy... your guide really helped me get things back to the original working state (i.e. onboard sound) after a bungled attempt to compile the latest ALSA (1.0.16) from source. To do that I used...
I'm a total newb to Ubuntu (FF 7.04) but am properly addicted after only 4 weeks. I've hated WinXP for a long time but now have my laptop dual-booted. The only thing I use XP for is to run audio...
