Chrome opens up in a maximized windows. No matter how many times I resize it down it stays the same on new windows. I tried resizing the windows then quitting Chrome, but still no luck.
If anything is there a way I can manually set the default window size through the shell or something?
The TrackPoint itself works fine. But the three buttons below the spacebar don't. For example if I were to copy these lines, 1-10, using trackpoint buttons it'd start highlighting at 7. If I use the main TrackPad (the part every laptop) and it's buttons it works normal, 1-10:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
It's like the button doesn't register right away. I use the TrackPoint ALL the time. I love it and I don't think I can go back to the normal TrackPad, so is there anyway to fix this? An app or setting?
Also, the middle button to scroll isn't working at all I tried:
Middle Button on ThinkPad Not Working with 10.10 update
And put it in /usr/share/... and /usr/lib... neither seem to work. They USED to work. I used to be able to use that method of fixing it, but it seems in 11.04 this doesnt work?
I dont wanna give up on Ubuntu yet...
I'm downloading Wubi now and it's been downloading the ISO torrent for maybe 2hrs-ish. Is there anyway to check how far along it is?
Also, is there a way to save my place or if I cancel this or my computer dies, will it lose the place?
If I DO lose my place. Can I download a ISO myself and place it somewhere that Wubi will grab from so it just installs it, not downloads the ISO? (this way I can watch the % too)
Im at a conference and my internet is fluctuating between 3-7MBs...if that helps
I know it's the compose key, and I set it to right Alt and I set the "3rd level" option to the Shift + Alt, but I can't figure out for the life of me for example how to do the copyright symbol, or the registered mark, or trademark symbol, etc. I try alt then c but I get č.
My server time seems to be off on my Apache2 install, how do i fix this? Just running purely "date" in terminal returns the right time but im not sure how to login to apache2 and change it? This is on my local Desktop LAMP stack btw...
I'm working on a site locally that's just sitting in a folder:
localhost/tempplace
How can I route, with Apache2, that to be like:
tempplace:8890
Or just something so it's not a sub directory? It's making local development very frustrating.
I can navigate my files quite fast through terminal. Faster than double clicking... open... look, double click... etc.
How do I open a directory in the Ubuntu GUI? For example:
cd projects
{some cmd} client_project
Then voila, it opens in the Ubuntu GUI as if i navigated manually?
Also, how can I open a URL in my default browser via terminal. It'd be awesome to go: F12
open http://google.com
And Chrome opens it up.
I've tried a few links already and many of them have me do numerous commands and every command seems to return "unknown command"
This is freaking me out since I need to get files off of here and I did nothing (makes me worried to run Ubuntu now after just switching from Mac). I literally just turned of the laptop after watching a YouTube video and working in Komodo and running Chrome, and when I booted up i get this when trying to boot into Ubuntu.
The GRUB version is 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3 and i (was) running Ubuntu 10.10.
Please tell me this is an easy fix? Like i said, i tried a few links already from older posts like: http://members.iinet.net.au/~herman546/p15.html#cli
And every command gets unknown command.
Here is a pic from someone elses computer. This is exactly the screen i get except the GRUB version is different.
Also, the screen before this has 2 lines and it looks like 2 HDD names, but i can't really make out what it says. It looks like it says "no wubilder" or something, but it flashes for like 1/4 of a second.
How can i make the application, Shutter (takes screenshots) open at startup? I know about sys > prefs > statup applications, but after I go to add what do I fill out the form with? Shutter isn't a command, is it?
I can't seem to find this anywhere but every other OS has this...
How can I just modify the color settings on my monitor, e.g. white balance, gamma, etc?
Also, just in case, i'm on a Lenovo ThinkPad.
Here is my graphics card specs:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
How do I do this all from Ubuntu? When I used Wubi there was a max size, and i ended up liking Ubuntu 10.04 so I kept it installed, but now i want to do just run W7 as a VM. I have around only 58GBs used and around 100GBs free, how can i move the 100GBs of just free space to Ubuntu with GParted or any other software?
Also, i've tried decreasing the size of the partion in W7 with 3rd party software as well as the included one, but both can't decrease it at all for some reason. Apparently it's some hidden fragmented file that the defrag and partition editors can't get too, thats why im asking how to do it all from Ubuntu...
I'm writing a post about how the software updates Apple sent out have been on Ubuntu (and other Linux distros) for ages (like the app store and the new "Mission Control" feature) from here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/lion/
I was wondering if i can show that Ubuntu has had apps to match the other two features: Fullscreen apps and "LaunchPad"? Are there?
This would be useful for helping Apple users switch to Ubuntu also when I'm trying to convert them ;)
I have a lenovo thinkpad and the center scrolling button isn't working with the trackpoint anymore... it worked in prior versions of Ubuntu with GPointing Device Settings, but not with 10.10.
Now, it works when I log in, but if i close the lid to my laptop and reopen it, it no longer works. I have to log out then back in. also, i can not uninstall GPointing Device Settings and reinstall because of this error:
There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks. Please report this error at http://launchpad.net/aptdaemon/+filebug and retry.

SystemError: E:I wasn't able to locate file for the linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic-pae package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.
Any ideas? Also, the center click is working like clicking the center of a scroll button it seems. Like, in Chrome, clicking a link opens it in a new tab, etc. How can i fix this?!
===HOW I FIXED IT=== As per the answer i checked as correct i did the following steps in Ubuntu 10.10 and it seemed to work.
First: Go to (in terminal)
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
Next: create a file named (as root)
20-thinkpad.conf
Next: Add the following to the file:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Trackpoint Wheel Emulation"
MatchProduct "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint|DualPoint Stick|Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint|ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint|USB Trackpoint pointing device|Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Next: Save the file
Lastly: Reboot your computer! (or manually save and reboot Xorg)
I see other questions about this, no answers and no one with a completely similar question.
I work for a place with an Exchange 2007 server. There is an http://owa.ourserver.com that is accessible from anywhere. I've tried every combo I can think of for Evolution -> Microsoft Exchange, including the MAPI plugin, but then I read that, that doesn't work on OWA Exchange email servers and I can't get it to connect at all that way.
If there is no way to connect via Evolution, is there another mail client? I tried Thunderbird, but I couldn't get it to work with Exchange either...
I had the sound icon in the main menu bar up top, along with the default Broadcast icon up there. All of a sudden they are missing and I can't find them. I can't find them in the Add to Panel menu either. How do I get them back?
Is there a way to save my monitor settings? I have an external monitor at work, but each morning i have to plug it in, rearrange the windows from being side by side to being on top of each other. Can I just save this?
I've noticed that my Ethernet port works fine once, but after it's disconnected and i connect to a wireless network and I go and try to plug the Ethernet port back in, it doesn't work until I reboot. Why is this?!
Also, the lights light up but it's like the Ubuntu doesn't see it. Is there a way to reboot the Ethernet port programmaticly through Terminal? I've also tried to delete and readd Auto Ethernet through the Network Preferences.
I have a Lenovo ThinkPad L512 with Ubuntu 10.04
==UPDATE==
I did the first step Maco said to do and here is what I got:

I've tried everything Maco suggested and finally figured out my memory isn't low although I keep getting a SIOCIFFLAGS: Cannot allocate memory error. I have over 1GB of RAM free as we speak.
I found this page: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/weird-ethernet-problem-838220/
And did what the person there said which was:
lspci| grep -i ethernet
dmesg | grep -i ethernet
And it gave me some output and the last command gave me:
r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded
I then tried Maco's stuff again and i didn't get the error anymore, however, the Ethernet still doesn't connect although now it doesn't give me the memory allocation error.
