Noticed in 10.04, under GNOME, opening the GIMP user manual from the help menu opens it in the help browser in a strange order:index, preface, iii, ii, biblio, A, B, C, i ...Not sure if this is the right place to mention this.

I have just installed Mythbuntu 9.10 on my Windows 7 PC to experiment with. I want to make Wingows 7 the default for the time being, but can't find a way to change grub's list. I don't seem to have the file /boot/grub/menu.lst and can't find anything else which might suit.

View 6 Replies View RelatedHaving just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 from 10.10 I noticed that my Grub menu had not upgraded. The upgrade was not as straight forward as it should have been as the PC hung at the end of the installation resulting in a reboot and running dpkg in safe mode to get it all back up and running.
To fix the incorrect grub menu.lst file which was not updating, I renamed the original file and then ran sudo update-grub. It generated a new and correct file. However, my Windows partition was not listed as a Grub menu option.

is there a user manual available for xubuntu 10.10 if there is i cannot find it anywhere, could someone point me in the right direction.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was wondering which software do you use to create user manuals? Like in windows we use .chm files for user manuals and there are .chm file creators available.
In Ubuntu, what do you use?
Is it possible to get user interaction in these scripts? They are for batch processing is my belief so perhaps not, but I would like to make a function whereby I can click it, a selection box of an exact size appears, I then place the selection box and press something, a new file is born. Is this possible?

Code:
This is a development version of GIMP. Debug messages may appear here.

If you haven't install the 2.7 version yet. Before upgrading, backup "python" directory and then just restore it after installing 2.7.
Some of you may have had with issues after installing GIMP on Lucid Lynx 10.04. Which may be directly related to "gimp-help-en", which could prevent you from installing other applications and preforming system tasks. If so, use this method to fix it.
Process: (Terminal > $ sudo apt-get install gimp)
1. After installing Gimp go to the terminal:
2. Then load up the language support application:
3. Then it will ask you to install the "gimp-help-en", confirm it.
4. Fix'd
I think this issue is directly linked to a systems with multiple languages, but I haven't been able to test this theory out yet.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'd like to know what happens in between me selecting which kernel to boot from the Grub2 menu, and me ending up in Gnome looking at the desktop GUI.For instance, when does the X server start, when is gnome started, in what order do these things happen and how can i have control over this process? The main appeal of linux to me is being able to choose which window manager, which desktop environment etc are used but I cannot seem to find out how to configure these things.I've been googling extensively and looking in books, the forums, ubuntu community and documentation but this information does not seem to be out there.

I can easily achieve this is windows vista, but on ubuntu I am limited to 1360 x 768.I have tried manually adding the resolutions to xorg.conf which puts the Xserver in low graphics mode upon restart.this as I dont want resolution to ruin my experience.Running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, graphics GPU is an intel G41 chipset.

After plugging in any of the KVM switchs the ubuntu system wont display correctly. It either blinks or is completely black.Because of this I researched this problem and decided to go with a manual switch. My question is if anyone has had experience with a manual switch and if adding an agp video card would hinder performance with a switch.
View 4 Replies View Relatedhow to use create a ssh tunnel for vnc. I have fought with this explanation for some days, and hopeless trial and error finally worked. Here is the explanationEach time you want to connect to your PC, follow these steps:
Find your PC's public name or IP address. Unless your PC has been assigned a memorable name, the easiest way to do this is to go to whatismyip.com from your PC. You can assign your PC a name by getting one from a dynamic DNS provider.Start the SSH client on the computer you'll log in from.Tell the SSH client to use local port-forwarding to connect port 5,900 on your desktop to port 5,900 on localhost.Via the SSH client, run the command x11vnc -safer -localhost -nopw -once -display :0 on the computer whose desktop you will view.where someone suggests to create a local port forward. The person who asks in this thread, has apparently read the same manual as I. The suggestion works, but I am not entirely certain that I have created a secure connection by "locally" forwarding port 5900 on the phone to localhost:5900. Can someone confirm this?Am I correct in assuming that the line "Tell the SSH client to use local port-forwarding to connect port 5,900 on your desktop to port 5,900 on localhost." in the explanation should read "on your remote laptop"?
Does anyone know how i can do a manual recovery?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHaving upgraded to 10.04 seemingly without any problems as everything looks to be working so far. The only strange thing I have noticed so far is the new startup upsplash. After the BIOS startup I get approx, 25 seconds of blank screen then the new upsplash which is a multicoloured and very indistinct UBUNTU with what looks like DVD/CD control symbols below. After this I get the new purple Ubuntu screen and then the login screen. Total time approx.46 seconds. I also get the same indistinct UBUNTU when closing down. Is this the correct startup sequence for 10.04 and is any else seeing this strange multicoloured indistinct UBUNTU screen. Is it my system/config at fault or is this the norm?
