View 1 RepliesAnyway since I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 when I right-click on something and there is another menu in that menu, it doesn't show up for the first time!
for example if I want to create a an "Empty File", I'll right-click on desktop and when I want to go to "Create Document" menu, it doesn't show up! so I must click somewhere else and try again so for the second time it works!!
I configured it to use IMAP to access our exchange 2010 server front end on a LAN connection. Our webmail connection is segregated behind Forefront, so it was not connecting/authing that way. Even though smartphones have no problem. (sidenote, is there an activesync linux mail client ?)
I have many root folders and several folders underneath my inbox. total mailsize in inbox is 3.5 GB without subfolders. The sent is likewise as large. And is likewise empty.
Things I checked already:
View is all
Folder subscription is on and local copy is on

Thunderbird worky fine.
But thunderbird is missing calender
Tried adding lightening, but it won't add into thunderbird.
Will try finding a diff add on, or if anyone knows how to get lightening into thunderbird 3.1.8 on ubuntu 10 that would be great as well.
After upgrading to 10.04, the Alt+TAB walking through windows has changed behaviour. It does not anymore show the windows themselves as I walk through them, whatever I set under Navigate Through Windows/Effect (No effect, Box switch, Present windows, Cover switch, Flip switch).

I have a problem accessing SMB shares in ubuntu 9.10. It worked fine before until I created a symbolic link and deleted it. Now the SMB share shows as empty or says "it has no been mounted" when I use "connect to server" to access it. oddly enough I can enter folder names and the contents do show but when I try to delete something there I get There was an error deleting "No such file or directory"

On other days, like today, it does not show. However, one can ping them and I have been able to print to one computer which has the printer attached. SAMBA is installed on the computers for file and printer sharing.

I have "others talk in chat" selected for the sound notifications, but I'd really like it to use the visual notifications (the notification applet?), like it does when I'm chatting with someone over IM. Is that possible?
I'm running standard ubuntu 9.10
I downloaded the Bisigi Theme packs for Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic and I noticed I can't get the logic screen to show up. Anyone know what's wrong? I was sure hoping I could use their login screens. I heard that in Karmic you can't change it? That's really a let down if it is, not to mention they don't even let user know that you can't change it? Or Can it be changed? Anyone have a hack or code for it?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded from Karmic to Lucid and have the following problems:
(1) My unmounted partitions used to be visible in "Places" on the left of Nautilus, so I could mount them when needed, but now they are not there. Also,they do not show in "Computer" view
(2) When I open Disk Utility from System/Administration, there is nothing at all showing - it takes quite a while to start up, but when finally the window opens, no devices or partitions are shown.
I got rid of my bottom panel, but I am still used to 'Show Desktop' button right in the bottom left corner. I was just thinking is it possible to Toggle 'Show Desktop' state just by moving my mouse in that corner?I was thinking of using wmctrl and compiz commands edge biding, but my problem is that wmctrl has two different commands - one for showing desktop one for hiding. But I want to toggle.

When I access my Ubuntu-one account from the web-interface I can see that everything's there, but the music simply doesn't show in Rythmbox or in my Ubuntu One folder. I don't use ubuntu-one for anything else then this music, so it might be some global problem

I love this theme, but show desktop icon is ugly.
It looks like some theme has show desktop icon in theme folder, but others are not.
How can I change icon? I think it's ubuntu's default show desktop icon.
The problem is: CTRL-ALT-F1 etc does not give me the login consoles and i strongly suspect it has something to do with the notebook display adapter (a problem on its own, but in this case it seems to be the INTEL GMA).After pressing the key combo, the HD is working on something, but all I get is a frozen picture of my current (tty7) Desktop. After hitting CTRL+ALT-F7 it blacks out for a moment, comes back to normal gnome Desktop as if nothing happened.I tried setting different vga modes in grub (according to my research, this also sets tty consoles modes ?) with no luck.The output of 'hwinfo --framebuffer' is as follows (if it's of any help):

I was using Hardy Ubuntu and have recently moved to Lucid and in both distributions I have noticed that alt+f2 (launcher) is very slow to show up when I have a lot of programs open.
Also, when I start typing in the box (alt+f2 launcher box), the typing is very slow (Maybe because it is trying to auto-complete?). I don't really understand why.
My terminal auto-completion is very fast. I have a very beefy machine with lots of RAM.
Has someone else also faced this problem? What is the solution?
Is it possible to replace the default gnome alt+f2 launcher with a different one that perhaps doesn't auto-complete?
EDIT: I'd like to add that launching applications from the gnome-terminal is extremely fast on my machine (less than 1 second). With alt+f2, they take 3-4 seconds and sometimes even 5+ seconds.
okay so i installed Ubuntu using wubi on my Windows 7 laptop
i installed Ubuntu on D: drive of my laptop now when i run Ubuntu, it shows only C: drive and not the D: drive on which i have installed it
I'm thinking of getting a forensic bridge to help with fixing machines and I was wondering if the support was good for Firewire and if so do they show up in /dev like hda and sda do so I can keep using my normal set of tools.

I have just installed Ubuntu 10.10 the other day and learned a lot about it. One thing I noticed quickly is that, the applications to not show up in the task bar, so I have to switch from one to another via ATL+Tab.Many times I accidentally open another thing of Firefox and have two of the same thing open. How do I get it show you can see which apps you have open in the task bar?
