I have this Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 tablet and when connecting it to my system through USB I get this error message:
Unable to mount GT-P5113
Error initializing camera: -53: Could not claim the USB device
I have USB debugging enabled and when disabled I get the same error message. Any ideas on how to fix this?
After running a system update I got this error when I wanted to save a screen shot to my desktop:
Impossible to save the screenshot to file:///home/tinuz/Pictures. Error was
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildSignaled: Process /usr/bin/nautilus received signal 6.
Please choose another location and retry.
It tells me to save it to another location but when saving to another location I get the same error message. Please let me know how to fix the problem.
Thanks in advance tinuz

I installed Ubuntu TV but the default video folder it uses is the Videos folder but i have all my videos in a different folder. How can i change the folder to the folder where my videos are located.
I installed the MATE desktop using this manual but now i can't open my Ubuntu Software Center and can't open the settings from the update manager.
I removed mate desktop but it doesn't fix the problem, i also reinstalled the software center, software-properties-gtk and software-properties-common using:
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --purge --reinstall install software-center software-properties-common software-properties-gtk.
But when using this line i get the following error:

Is there a way to fix this problem without having to reinstall Ubuntu 11.10??
thanks in advance tinuz
I am working on a short script that will allow me to use video files as a background using mplayer. The code i've got so far is:
#!/bin/bash
if zenity --question --title="Run movie as desktop background?" --text="This script will allow you to play a movie on the desktop within your XGL environment.\n\nClick the OK button and choose the movie from the file selection."
then
xwinwrap -ni -o 0.6 -fs -s -sp -st -b -nf -- mplayer -loop 0 -wid WID "`zenity --file-selection`"
fi
The problem is that when using the script the desktop and stuff on it are still visible (see image) and i'm looking for the code to disable the transparency. Thanks in advance and greetings from tinuz :)
In older versions it was easy to create a launcher on my desktop. All I had to do is right click on my desktop and select the "create launcher" option.
How can I create such launchers now?
Is there a way to install the control center used in Ubuntu 11.04 on 11.10. Now i have the options to change things under System Settings but i would like to have the old "control center" back.
I want to change the default screen saver in Ubuntu 11.10/12.04. On 11.04 I just did a
sudo apt-get install xscreensaver-data-extra xscreensaver-screensaver-bsod
And then I could change it in the control center -> screen saver options.
Now there seems to be no other option to change the default screen saver.
I am trying to build my own greeter for Ubuntu 11.10 and amd looking for all the folders that are being used by lightdm. So far i have located the .conf files and the unity-greeter folder but it seems that i haven't located all the files/folders
I'm working on an article for my site about using window placement rules. On Ubuntu Classic I can create all the rules I want (open evolution on workspace 2, liferea on workspace 3, gwibber on workspace 4 and so on) but on Unity if I assign a program to workspace 3 or 4 it will be opened on workspace 2.
I disabled the Unity plugin but that leaves me with no panels and just a wallpaper. Can someone help me out with this problem?
