View 3 RepliesI'm using VLC in ubuntu 10.10. May problem began when I DL and changed the skin of my VLC media player. After installing the new skin, the gui doesn't work. I can't open the preferences and change the skin settings from there.
I've tried removing and re-installing VLC but, when I install it, it remembers the old skin on which I got that problem. I've tried deleting the vlc files in "/var/cache/apt/archives" and "/var/lib/dpkg/info" but, it still remembers the previous setting on which I got the this problem.
is it possible to change the GDM default skin on Fedora 14? I searched the web and this forum, but didn't get a working solution for it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHaving trouble figuring this out. I've got a package that I've installed from out-of-repos and Kubuntu feels the need to "upgrade" this package to a version that I do not want to use. I've found out how to do this in Ubuntu, but not in Kubuntu. A commandline solution would be fine, although I've googled it and not come up with any working results.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using 10.04 but i need alsa to be upgraded to 1.0.23 in order for the sound to work. every once in a while when there is a system update alsa gets overwritten and goes back to 1.0.22 which makes the computer unusable. i already locked the alsa packages and it worked now for some time. but today i got another update that did the same thing. the only solution is to do full alsa upragade again. is there really no other way? which packages do i need to lock to keep alsa at 1.0.23? i don't want to move to 10.10 as i planned to stay with LTS. but if there is no other way... funny how debian chose to use 1.0.23 for their next stable edition, while ubuntu LTS stays with 1.0.22 despite it not working on many newer cards. especiall intel ones it seems.
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhich LXDE version of Linux has the newest version of Firefox and Open Office included?
I am looking for an iso file, and I am trying to run this off of a live CD for now. So I want a light version of Linux, probably LXDE, or if not, then probably XFCE. But I need a new version of Firefox and OpenOffice included.
Because, I tried burning the customizable NimbleX @ custom.nimblex.net . Pretty good, except it uses Firefox 2, and Open Office 2.3, which are outdated.
And I tried Mint XFCE, which might have been pretty good too, but it had some issue of blanking and requiring relogin after I opened hotmail frequently (user id: mint, password: blank).
The web browser and the word processing program are the most important and essential applications to me.
So are there any Linux versions in LXDE on LiveCD that include newer versions of Firefox (or at least another good browser) and Open Office (oo seems better than abi)? (Again, if no LXDE, perhaps XFCE?)
I just want to download a good version in an iso file, and burn it to a CD and get to work. Like I said the web browser and the word processing program are all important.
So really, what iso/LiveCD versions are the fastest for running on an older system, and yet have the newest browser and word processor included?

1. About 6 of the icons normally residing in the top half of Settings Manager are missing (names are their and functions work). Selecting 'Appearance -> Icons' and re-selecting the one choice available restores one, the rest remain MIA.
2. Default xfce Terminal launch fails with error <????> Re-selecting the default 'Preferred Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal -> Xfce Terminal' has no effect. 'Properties' shows the usual 'exo-open --launch TerminalEmulator'.
Setting 'Preferred Applications' to 'X Terminal' launches an xterm successfully as expected.
I've looked, but no luck. Coming from Debian, 5.02, is there a setting in Ubuntu 10.10 that will allow me to single click to open a folder/launch a program. I don't mean the one i am using now that is set up with the mouse setting where it seems to be an assistive technologies application where there is a slider to set the dwell time (when i use this one, i get a menu opening at the same time as the application launch), but the one where the pointer turns to a little hand when it moves over the icon, and opens/launches the program when the button is released.

We are setting up virtual Ubuntu 10 machines that will just be used to launch a portal to our servers. I have the stripped down image created, but would like it to launch the VMware View Open Client software so it took users directly to what we want them to see.Is there a way with Ubuntu to set that to auto deploy on start up? If I could do that it would greatly improve security on keeping users from getting to places we don't want them into
