Ubuntu :: Lighting Extension Is No Longer Compatible
Mar 23, 2011
I don't know why, but the Lighting extension for Thunderbird has been a complete PINA. The package manager version didn't work (Tbird claimed it was incompatible), and I had to get a working plugin from some obscure section of some obscure unofficial site in order to get a version that was compatible with my Thunderbird. I don't remember where I got it or why the official version doesn't work, but somehow I got it working.
I recently updated my system (including tbird) using apt-get update, and the lighting extension is no longer compatible (again). The "find update" option in Tbird finds one, but it isn't compatible either. Where do I go to get a Tbird plug-in that actually works?
I'm using Tbird 3.1.8 on 64 Bit 10.04.

I've upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 and now the backlighting is completely gone. I actually am forced to shine a very bright flashlight on the screen just to write this. I've gotten xubuntu to install with 11.04 fine but I don't really like it and I've noticed that weather I use a USB, DVD, or upgrade I have no backlighting with regular ubuntu. Oh and it also puzzles me because I upgraded to the alpha 2 a few weeks ago and everything was fine but now the beta 1 is giving me problems.. I really don't want to reinstall and lose all of my stuff!

Just thought I'd give you guys a heads up incase you wern't aware, someone over on the ubuntu forums wrote a program in java that changes the lights on your alienware laptop. It may work with the desktop's as well.
I'll just post a link to my build script and you can follow it from there: [url]
Also, if you build HAL against libsmbios (from Dell) You'll get some bonus keys working as well, such as the eject key.
I love this new alienware M15X... It's a freaking beast of a laptop with 2 quad i7core procs....

Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display <my_ip>
I get this both when using Xming and nomachine.

I experience this since kde 4, but it never really was that bad because once in a while on updating kde I also deleted the .kde folder in my home-folder and everything was fast again.
But I haven't done this for a while now and kde take really long to load. Is there any folder to clean up there without deleting the whole .kde-folder and loosing all my settings again?

Installed Ubuntu 10.10, 64bit, been working flawlessly for a week.
I have 2 nVidia Corporation G96 [GeForce 9400 GT] Graphics Cards and 2 LG Monitors. I installed the nVidia drivers from the website and everything is working very well. Using Xinerama to extend my desktop.
The problem comes in when I add an additional user to the system. It doesn't matter if it's 1 or 2 users, if they are added into the administrator group or as a desktop user, I can delete re-add them, create a completely different user but the problem persists.
As soon as I login as the new user and go to System | Preferences | Appearance | Visual Effects and try and enable either 'Normal' or Extra' I get the following error;
"The Composite Extension is not Available"
This is strange to me because composite, everything, is working fine for the default user, I have no problems whatsoever, but any additional user I setup it seems the graphics is borked, like it's not picking up the correct drivers or something.

I have a little bit problem ,and I want to ask you guys, if there are people who experience this thing like me, and how to get this right back. I have install gnome3 extension , the side bar, the alt-tab and some other stuffs via webupd8,
and just now, I was updating and upgrading my system via terminal. I sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and install , update everything, when I restart my computer, everything was gone back to normal, as in the gnome-shell interface, and there are no extension.
What should I do to get it back? do I need to follow the tutorial in webupd8 again? and , is there anyone out there, experience the same thing like me?

My laptop has a WD400 scorpio IDE hard disk. I'm trying to figure out if it's DMA compatible or not. Taking the cover off there's no mention of DMA on the label. I've googled and get confusing results, at least to me. Is there a way I can figure out if it's DMA or not?

I know that 32 bit windows won't recognize it as 3TBs... I have read that 64 bit windows will with some extra software... my question is will ubuntu recognize the drive as 3 TBs? I just ask because I am currently building a Myth box and would LOVE to have that capacity of storage for all my media.

Just made the upgrade to 10.04 and after copying my /home/ directory to my external and back over to my hard drive, the .mp3 extensions have all disappeared. Dolphin still identifies the files as mp3 audio files, but without the extension, Amarok, Banshee or VLC will not play them. Is there anyway to get the media players to play those files, or anyway to add the .mp3 extension onto all of those files at once?

I did a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 except for the /home partition. I have two monitors. I can't get the setup I had on 9.10 where the second monitor was an extension of the first, and extra visual effects were enabled.
There are two drivers available for my video card, NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173) and NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current) [Recommended]. I've tried both. I backed up my /etc/X11/xorg.conf, blanked the current one, and run
Code:
I set the each monitor to be a separate X screen, enable Xinerama (I think that's what I need for the extended display), and clicked Save to X Configuration File. Sometimes I merge it with the existing file. At this point I restart and the error, "The Composite extension is not available" is displayed when I try to enable extra visual effects.

I wanted to try my hand at programming in an easy way, so I installed from the Ubuntu Software Center Basic-256. But it is more than 3 years old and does not fit to a book I downloaded. I got from Sourceforge the latest version which is a .tgz file. How do I install it?

I installed Minecraft and I want to hide the .JAR extension on the file on my desktop. I tried just renaming it and deleting the ".jar" from the name, but when I tried opening it, it opened as an archive, rather than an executable, even though I had the "Allow executing file as program." box checked off. What can I do to hide the extension?

I have a GeForce 8700m and have recently upgraded to Natty with the latest driver 275.09.07 from Nvidia.
I have a software which cannot open a new file as it just crashes. Someone on Windows set Extension Limit to OFF in Nvidia settings and the problem went away for them.
I cant find that setting in Nvidia server settings. How do I set it up. Do I have to add something to xorg.cong ?

I am looking for a new smart one. Although I am a long time Blackberry user, I am open to switch to droid or Iphone. One frustration I had with Blackberry was that I was not able synch my phone with my home computer (ubuntu) when I checked two years ago. Since then I have been using a windows machine to synch.
Now I am looking for a new phone and I would like it to work with my Ubuntu computer. I am wondering what other Ubuntu users experience are on this issue.

I want to search a Windows partition for all .doc and .xls files and move them over to Xubuntu to burn them to CD.
Is this easiest to do via terminal? I tried to use catfish and select all files, but I think my Mac keyboard (and USA standard keyboard settings) threw the select all files ability.

Due to the recent earthquake, Daylight Savings Time was extended to April 3rd, but my Ubuntu machine set its clock back an hour last weekend, which was when DST was originally set to end. I manually reset the time, but when I resumed from hibernate the clock was wrong again. How do I turn off synchronization until April 3rd? More importantly, who needs to be notified of the change to get the problem fixed?

How to make sure that when I save a pdf file, the file extension .pdf appears in the filename? Its a silly little thing, but annoying. The file browser recognises it afterward as a pdf file though, it opens with document viewer ok.

I am running 10.04 beta2 and have installed cups-pdf printing. I can print to the PDF printer and it works fine saving the file to ~/PDF. It saves it with the PDF extension as expected. I am trying to save the file by default to a windows share. I changed the DEVICE URI line to smb://HOME/SERVER/PDF. When I print, the job shows up on the windows share but without a PDF extension

I've been trying to get the dual monitors to work the way I want them to, so far no luck. I read that xinerama would enable dragging between two X screens so I went to System -> Preferences -> Monitors and clicked the box for xinerama. Rebooted and now the top panel is on the other screen and, more importantly, I can't access the monitor controls anymore.When I click on Monitors I get an error message that says "Could not get screen informaion, RANDR extension is not present"I love Ubuntu, but the work required just to get it doing what I need it to do is tough to soldier through.
