I've noticed people using a product for Windows and Mac called iDisplay which lets you use your Android or iPad as a secondary display. This seems like a great idea, and something that could be done on Ubuntu. Unfortunately, I've got no idea how to get started.
How could you re-create this setup on Ubuntu?
I'm trying to export video for use with the HTML5 tag. I've already created a nice webm encoding but can't create the equivalent mp4 video.
The MP4 option in Pitivi says it's not recommended and produces corrupted MP4 video when I use it. It recommends using mp4mux to render the project instead, but I can't find this option anywhere and Google is failing me.
How do I enable mp4mux rendering of MP4 in Pitivi?
I've just got a Rogers Nokia CS-18 rocket stick but when I plug it into my laptop it doesn't get recognized as a 3G modem. I've rebooted and tried plugging it into windows first but nothing seems to work.
Why won't Ubuntu 10.10 detect this?
I'm trying to test natty with unity from an ubuntu usb key but need the nvidia drivers installed to run unity on my XPS M1330. When I try to activate the drivers as I would normally do there is an error activating them. I'm assuming that this is because I can't update the usb key, but I'm not sure. How do I install the nvidia drivers on the ubuntu usb key so that I can use it to test natty with unity?
Thanks!
UPDATE: Here is a link to the error message I receive
As Ubuntu is switching to unity in 11.04 it seemed reasonable to try it on my 10.10 desktop. Unfortunately, when I launch it I see the icons down the left-hand side but the rest of the unity interface if obscured by any other windows I have open.
For example, when I click the Applications icon in unity if I have another window open it doesn't seem to do anything until I minimize the active window revealing the application list in the background. It's the same for the menu that appear when I right-click on on icon.
What could be causing this and how do I fix it?
I'll trying to migrate away from Simply Accounting and need to somehow extract the contents of a Windows CAB file which is what Simply uses for backups.
What is the best way to open a CAB file on Ubuntu?
I just read that Broadcom has open-sourced their wireless adapter drivers and was curious if this would have any affect on my Dell XPS M1330 which sometimes has flaky wifi.
I'm a Canadian, but often get American spelling suggestions from the spell checker in Ubuntu. How do I switch to a Canadian dictionary?
