Equipment: Asus Eee 900, Celeron @ 900 MHz w/ 2 gig memory Mouse: Rocketfish (but issue replicable with mousepad)
When starting a program, the mouse may randomly not work within that program but does work outside of it, or vice-versa. For instance, when starting the text editor, the OS may not recognize mouse clicks inside the program (within the text editing portion, within the text editors menu bar etc.), but it does recognize mouse clicks outside the program (like clicking on the battery icon for battery status). This could also be reversed, where the OS only recognizes mouse clicks within the program but none externally (including the top status bar where the menu options, battery status, and clock are).
IF the mouse is not working inside the program and I click somewhere externally (like the battery status), this seems to temporarily fix the problem and allow clicking inside the program. However, this seems to switch the problem to where I can no longer click externally. This seems to be the only method of switching which area is selectable by mouse, as I have not found a reverse process. This forces me to close the program using Ctrl + Q instead of being able to click out, because the close button is in the top status bar. This seems to happen pretty much universally. If the program is closed, then I can again click any thing on the main screen, including the top status bar.
I am currently running the netbook without the power supply plugged in. I will repost later when the power supply is connected to see if it makes a difference. At first I thought the netbook was locked up, but the mouse still moves and if the cursor is active in a text editing area it still responds to keystrokes. It's not a disasterous bug, but it's annoying.
I need to be able to use IE on my home based Ubuntu computer so I can get to and use the Prosystem Global FX tax program which will ONLY work with IE. Is there a version of IE 6.0 or greater that I can safely install on Ubuntu computer and will not interfere with my use of Firefox for other applications, etc. ?
I have Wine installed in ubuntu/Kubuntu Jaunty and I can play games like Roller Coaster Tycoon fine in it (it works great and has sound) but when I try to use my disk for Ear training (which is an .exe file) I can view/use the program perfectly except there is no sound, the disk works in the school computers so I know its not faulty, but the sound just doesn't work in Wine.
I changed the format in Wine to all the different Windows (Vista, XP, 2000, etc.) and the sound didn't work in them either, everything in Alsa mixer is turned up 100% and I've tested it with both my head phones and computer speakers, but theres never any sound.
I want to now is it possible to use and how to configure to work program My Heritage try Wine?Please help its important to me.P.S I'am totaly noob regarding Ubuntu netbook remix
whenever i oped an audio program, it doesn't work. for example in ardour it says, "JACK is running as another user".I think this is the problem for most of them.I searched for JACK and found a folder and it says the user's name is root.
Is there any other program that will work with the taskbar applet other than gwibber? I tried using it, but the interface seems really vague to me and drives me nuts. At the same time, the taskbar applet (showing up under the mail icon), makes it much more integrated than just installing a random standalone application.
I'm not that new to Linux having used a few other distros but at the same time i am not really 'clued up' and can quickly get stuck. My problem is trying to get an IM program to work with my MSN account. I use this just to keep in touch with family/friends. Pidgin, doesn't seem to have an option to add an MSN account at all. I installed Empathy after using it in Fedora which gave me an option to setup a MSN account but it doesn't connect?
I have an OpenGL program in a Linux server. I want to run the program remotely with X forwarding, but it fails, whereas programs such as xclock and xeyes work fine. (I confirmed that the program works in the local desktop environment.) Below is additional information.
How hard can it be to delete a program in debian. search the web to check that i am doing the right thing to from the start to uinstall and still the program hangs thereOkey this is what i have done.
I tried playing a movie on the computer and nothing happened. Thats when I figured out I don't have a program to play the movie so my question is what dvd player program is good? Also is the source and slackbuild going to be on the slackbuild website so I can download it? The reason I ask the last question is because I tried to install swiftfox and opera but they don't have the source or slackbuild for them. For an older version of opera they did have the slackbuild and source but not the new one.

I have updated my Ubuntu installation to natty narwhale and after a reboot the desktop started to look like the attachment Screenshot.jpgThe error does not appear when I choose ubuntu classic instead the windows miss the top bar where the X (close button) is placed.Alt+Tab does not work, and suddenly I cannot write in the active program.
I'm currently trying to get a windows compiled program to work through Wine to run on Linux and MacOSX.
When I run the program through wine, it prompts me to install Gecko which I do. Later on in the program, it attempts to use MSHTML to render HTML but I get these error messages on my console instead.
err:mshtml:init_xpcom NS_InitXPCOM2 failed: 80004005 err:mshtml:HTMLDocument_Create Failed to init Gecko, returning CLASS_E_CLASSNOTAVAILABLE fixme:ole:CoCreateInstance no instance created for interface {00000000-0000-0000-c000-000000000046} of class {25336920-03f9-11cf-8fd0-00aa00686f13}, hres is 0x80040111
I'm using Wine 1.1.34 and a similar bug was supposedly fixed in 1.1.33 [URL]
I have this weird program: dns2tcpc (creates a dns tunnel). I would like it to run at startup. However, I found that the program doesn't work when backgrounded! EX: dns2tcpc -z dns.domain.com -l 8888 208.67.222.222 Works, and I can use SSH to port 8888. However, if I try to background it, like: dns2tcpc -z dns.domain.com -l 8888 208.67.222.222 & Then trying to connect to SSH won't get any response
Now, I know this is a bug in dns2tcpc, and I really don't feel like compiling it or anything (I may have to), so is there any way to "trick" an application into thinking it's running in the foreground (like typing the command from the terminal window)? (Bonus if no addition installation is required)
I tried to draw two lines with xlib.h in C. If I start this compiled program it show me in most cases a window with two lines as it should be.
But sometimes the two lines are not drawn.If I insert XFlush() before the second XSync() it worked better but not every time.Why?How can I solve the problem?How works the X-Server buffer in detail?
I know there is lots of documentation out there for installing tar balls but I can't make it work I am trying to work with this file sauerbraten_2009_05_04_trooper_edition_linux.tar.bz2 in file:///home/Nemesis/Downloads/sauerbraten_2009_05_04_trooper_edition_linux.tar.bz2
I am running Fedora 12, the gnome desktop if the desktop matters. I have been running Fedora almost elusively for 2 years and off n on before that but in my many attempts at trying to Install a TARBALL I have always failed hard.
The following program from wiki.Debian.org/openbox is shown under "Setting your background image with feh" (random wallpaper), but for me it comes up with error messages.
I had originally followed the advice at Mauriat Miranda's Fedora Nvidia Driver Install Guide [URL] for installing nvidia's display driver on my HP Pavilion system 64 bit running Fedora 11. I had used his first method which just installs the relevant kernel module kmod-nvidia from RPMFusion. He also suggested an alternate method: obtaining Nvidia's installer NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.36-pkg2.run and using that. I downloaded it from Nvidia, but I didn't run it.
I recently lost X. This had happened previously after a kernel upgrade, and I just used grub to boot an earlier kernel to recover X, and then installed the upgraded kernel module to fix the problem. But this time, being deeply involved in something else, I panicked slightly, and, using dumb terminal mode I ran the Nvidia installer. It asked me to make various choices and in response to my answers, it decided to compile a new kernel module. This recovered X, but I then compounded things by installing the updated kmod-nvidia.
I realized afterwards that using both methods might create some conflicts, but X seemed to run properly. (I can tell because graphics in the program Maple doesn't work properly with the default drivers provided by Fedora 11.) Since then, when I restart nvidia, I get.
ive got a second hard drive which is ntfs. it's got some windows programs that i'd like to run in wine. problem is i can't get "allow executing file as program" to work. when i click that, it doesn't stick.
I will have to code this. However I am lacking of time since I have too much to do. make a short code bash/dash to prompt the country with Zenity, then, get the PLS or m3u url and prompt with another zenity which radio to play. http://www.listenlive.eu/index.html
