I have recently upgraded to ubuntu 12.10 and utouch seems to be removed from my system and I am not able to reinstall it through apt-get. Where can I find it?
I have recently bought a new 64GB Lexar USB with the long model name of LJDV10-64G-000-106, and I am having issues partitioning it. I am able to mount, read and write to the USB without any issues but whenever I try to partition it with GParted it doesn't show up in the dropdown. Also while using the command sudo fdisk -l I receive the error fdisk: unable to seek on /dev/sdc: Invalid argument. This is a brand new USB so I am not sure why I am having these issues, especially since the device is functioning perfectly with read/write.
I have tried reformatting it on a windows machine but that does not seem to do anything.
For those who want a visual my USB looks almost exactly like
But 64GB rather than 8GB
Edit: I have just ran GParted from the terminal and I am getting a similar error, but it may give more information on the issue.
Could not determine physical sector size for /dev/sdc.
Using the logical sector size (512).
Invalid argument during seek for read on /dev/sdc
Also clearing my USB with /dev/zero fails with the the message
$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=1M
dd: writing `/dev/sdc': No space left on device

I've seen it in screenshots before. What application provides a window that contains all of GTK's UI elements? I need an answer applicable to GTK+2 and GTK+3.
I have been having this problem for a while, however lately I have been trying to find ways to make my netbook perform better, visually and functionally.
When I use default Radeon graphic drivers, my colour profile seems to match that of the one on my Windows install, however when I install the Catalyst drivers, I get a washed out display that looks like the brightness is too high and the contrast too low.
I have playing around with the settings in the Catalyst Control Centre however I could not manage to get the right display.
I am using Catalyst 11.12 and my graphics card is an AMD Radeon HD 6310.
I've seen screenshots with different backgrounds on the AisleRiot card game. How do I set one in Ubuntu?
Here is a picture of the background I made in GIMP which I want to use in AisleRiot;
Please don't take credit for my image if you want to use it, I am planning on implementing this into the default theme of AisleRiot on 11.04.
I want to use gedit as a programming IDE and as a regular text editor. Would I be able to make some .desktop file to load a different configuration?
I am trying to figure out what is going on with pulseaudio on my computer because almost every 20 seconds of listening to a song it freezes.
I've tried killall pulseaudio && pulseaudio to try to get the output of pulseaudio for when it crashes but for some reasons it gives me an error. Oddly something to do with ALSA
E: module-alsa-card.c: Failed to find a working profile.
E: module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-card" (argument: "device_id="1" name="1" card_name="alsa_card.1" tsched=yes ignore_dB=no card_properties="module-udev-detect.discovered=1""): initialization failed.
I am not really sure if this is the problem, but if it is, I would still like to know for future reference how I could monitor the output of a program which has not been manually called through the terminal.
I am using a Dell Inspiron Mini 10 with GMA500 video drivers. GMA500 fixes resolution issues and enables video acceleration. The only problem with the GMA500 drivers I am having is that I can not find a fix for the webcam program called cheese, and I can't find a way to enable the vaapi (Video Acceleration API) backend. Videos don't work with the GMA500 (without vaapi) and I cannot properly use cheese.
If anyone can help me out with this I will be grateful because Google isn't helping me much with this problem.

How can I keep a folder synchronized to an external USB hard drive in Ubuntu?
I was thinking it would be EXTREMELY useful if I could sync the files between a folder on my USB and a folder on my desktop.
If someone can give me a simple set of instructions on this topic I would be thrilled!
Well the title says it all, how can I auto-start a program before anything else and prevent any other program from running until a certain directory is mounted?
I am building a front-end program for the command "ncpmount" and it has to prevent any program from running until the user logs into their remote account and their files become mounted.
I am trying to set up Ubuntu for a school and obviously there needs to be limitations, how would I be able to limit
- Access to certain programs, like the terminal, gparted, system monitor...
- The ability to modify the gnome panel
- Installation of any type of software
- Viewing of any directory outside the home folder (with the exception of removable storage devices)
- The ability to run any executable files located in the users home folder or any removable storage device
I was wondering if there was an easy way of replacing pulseaudio with alsa. Pulseaudio is the biggest problem I am currently having with Ubuntu and I really want these problems to end.
I was wondering if I would be able to transfer my libraries from my Windows 7 partition to Wine. I am pretty sure this is legal because I would be using the libraries from a Windows installation that I payed money for.
Even if this is possible would it create any benefits? If so, would I be able to run any Windows application I want?
I found an amazing extension for Google Chrome called SmoothScroll. It makes scrolling webpages extraordinarily visually appealing, just like in opera.
I was wondering if I could find something like this for Ubuntu that can be applied system wide so that I can experience this on any scrollbar I use.
this post may seem like a duplicate from my other post, "Is is possible to export Inkscape files for inDesign?" but this completely different.
I need to open my inDesign CS5 files in Ubuntu but I can't seem to find a free vector program that can open inDesign files ( or files exported by inDesing CS5 )
Please note that I can't work with a bitmap or a layer merged vector.
I was wondering if it was possible to export anything built in Inkscape to inDesign CS or CS5. If it is possible, how can I get it to work?
I am trying to build a custom version of Ubuntu for my school and they seem to be using the Novell NetWare software (for Windows) so students can log-in to their accounts. I have tried using WebDav for the NetStorage server but that was unsuccessful. I have also tried a program called Novell Client for Linux but, it didn't fully support Ubuntu, it was butt ugly, the latest release was made in 2004.
If you guys could help me out on this I would greatly appreciate it.
