What happens if I restart GDM? And how do I do it? I think I did it once and I lost all my configurations, or maybe that was something else. i just dont want to have to redo all my customizations.
View 4 RepliesBefore upgrading from Fedora 13 to v.14, VLC Media Player (v1.1.9) worked perfectly. But under Fedora 14, when I try to use it to play .AVI files that played perfectly under Fedora 13 (with the same hardware), VLC opens, stalls for a second, then closes. I've tried several files -- all of which play under Movie Player (and DID play on VLC under Fedora 13), so I know the files themselves are valid. I'd like either to have VLC work under Fedora 14, or revert back to Fedora 13 and permanently block any future upgrade to 14. easy way of rolling back to v.13 without losing my configurations or any of my installed software? Would using a Fedora 13 CD do it?

View 7 Replies View RelatedOn Ubuntu 10.10 I started a 2nd instance of Firefox using the command: Firefox -ProfileManager -no-remote &Created a new profile and everything works smoothly except for the fact that this instance of FF does not obey by GTK2 customizations that I have placed in ~/.gtkrc-2.0.Moreover, only SOME of the customizations are not obeyed. For example, the vertical scrollbars are supposed to be on the left, but they are on the right. The scrollbar arrows are together (Mac-like) as specified, so is the scrollbar width.The first instance obeys all customizations with scrollbars on the left.

If I decide to upgrade at that time, are my customizations lost, also add on software lost e.g. Codeweavers Crossover Office, and software running inside Crossover, etc.?
View 6 Replies View RelatedFirst thing I do when I install fedora is to customise a few things: default font sizes, number of workspaces (an their names), icons on the gnome panels etc. I was wondering if there is a way that I could just copy some file from my old install to the new one that would save me doing this manully each time. I think the main things I need are customisations done in System->Preference->Appearnece and customisations to the GNOME Panels

I've reinsalled ubuntu 10.04 no less than 5 times, each time taking hours to get all my configuration right, basically I like to mess to the point of screwing it up. Anyway just wondering if there was a way or program that remembers all of your preferences, files, games, apps, EVERYTHING! so you only have to load the file and it will do everything for you. Would save lot of time!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been having some problems recently with Ubuntu and my Printer. I find that when using ubuntu, ink drains much faster, and constant refills are required. I know the printer works fine, I use it on windows when ubuntu Fails. Today I was trying to print a colour document out, this was with default config, standard print quality etc., this was the result. On the left you can see the document before printing, and on the right the printed document. (Click to open image in new window)

I have a laptop that I use in three environments with different monitor setups.
1) At work, I have a 1280x1024 second monitor.
2) At home, I have a 1920x1080 second monitor.
3) In meetings and other places I have no second monitor.
Whenever I switch between these setups, which is at least several times each day, I have to manually change the monitor configuration. I use the nvidia-settings tools.
Granted, it only takes a few seconds. Is there a way to make the system smart enough to automatically detect when a monitor is added or removed, know *which* monitor is attached, and reconfigure the resolution and monitor layouts the way I want them?

I just started using Ubuntu over the last several months and almost have it setup the way I need and want. I understand that a new version comes out every 6months or so and plan on upgrading when it comes out. I would like to be able to reformat and install the latest version, but retain all of my preferences, programs, device drivers, etc. so that it's all ready for the new version of Ubuntu. Up to date, I have spent so much time changing setting, finding drivers that fit and installing them that I don't want to start over with this.
How can I do this? I have made a seperate partition for /home. Will this help or is this folder only for to save my personal files?
