When I follow the official guide for installing the AMDGPU-Pro drivers (I've tried both the 17.30 and the very recent 17.40 releases) everything seems to work but clinfo still returns
Number of platforms 0
Does anyone have any ideas?
I can't find a way to decrease the sensitivity of the touchpad on my HP spectre laptop running ubuntu 16.10. Changing the settings in the built-in "mouse and touchpad" settings doesn't work at all - literally nothing happens when I change any setting under either mouse or touchpad.
I did some research and found out that I might need to adjust x.org settings just to change the touchpad settings (which seems absolutely ridiculous, btw, but whatever). So, I tried to learn about xinput.. but all the guides mention settings I can't find.. namely ones related to sensitivity or pointer speed.
For reference, here is the output of xinput --watch-props for my touchpad:

Am I destined to just have a horrible touchpad experience in ubuntu on this laptop? For whatever it's worth, the touchpad is so sensitive a tiny movement of less than an inch can move the cursor across the whole screen.

I have the very new Asus PB287Q 4K monitor and I've enabled display port 1.2 in its OSD menu system, but my Ubuntu 14.04 laptop still isn't using 3840x2160 at 60hz - it's stuck at 30hz. I'm curious what's the correct way to get this to 60hz?

I have intel onboard audio and am trying to get surround sound working over the digital coax spdif port. I followed these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DigitalAC-3Pulseaudio ...which got me to the point where I can use speakertest -c 6 and successfully hear sound out of all my speakers independently, but I can't actually select this new device from VLC, the built-in "videos" app, or mplayer without getting errors and/or no sound whatsoever.
Anyone using 14.04 and getting surround sound (via DTS/AC3 passthrough)? If so, how!?
It would appear it's impossible to get virtualbox guest additions working in a windows 7 host running vbox 4.1.14 and an ubuntu 12.04 32-bit guest.
I've tried the standard .iso, the .run file, and the official ubuntu virtualbox-ose-guest packages.. none of them allow me to turn on seamless mode or use copy/paste.
Any help would be much appreciated!
On both my home and work networks, if I plug in an ethernet cable into my laptop, gnome's network manager starts cycling between saying "Wired network Disconnected" and "wired network Connection Established". It does this back and forth about once every couple seconds.
The network card is Intel Corporation 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection and the laptop is a Dell Precision M6600.
Thanks in advance!
There are a few features available in CCSM (compiz config settings manager) that I want to make sure are available even if CCSM becomes completely defunct and replaced in Ubuntu. And, I would like to help improve Ubuntu going forward. So, I'd just like to know where is the best place to makes these suggestions and offer insight into my Ubuntu desktop usage patterns.
For a little over a year, my home server has been plugging away just fine. It had a 300GB IDE drive with ubuntu on it, and three 2TB drives on SATA ports in an mdadm RAID5 array.
I lost a drive last week, and it was suggested to just try restarting it before doing anything else. Since doing that, however, I've been completely unable to boot into a working ubuntu system without unplugging ALL of the 2TB drives. I've identified the failed drive, as it doesn't get recognized in bios at all, but when I plug either of the other working drives in, I can't start at all - even with a working live USB stick.
When trying to boot from the normal system hard drive, I still get the grub menu, so I know it's not an issue of which drive is being booted or anything like that.. it just goes to a black screen after grub and there is nothing written to /var/log/messages or dmesg for me to diagnose the next time.
When using a perfectly good live USB stick, it hangs on the line about loading .../vmlinuz.
Any advice/help would be appreciated.
When I go to bring up the array with mdadm, it complains I don't have enough components to start it. This makes sense, since RAID5 normally takes a minimum of three disks.. but I don't want to buy another 2TB drive with prices what they are at the moment.. I just want to start it in degraded mode, get my data off of it, then use them as separate drives, copying the truly important stuff to both of them :)
I really dislike the slight dark-purple tint to the side-launcher bar and shell surrounding the menu after pressing the meta key. How can I set this to another color?
There are configure options available for Unity here but there is no option for this, so I am looking for pointers in the code where this can be set.
I've just installed gnome-shell in Ubuntu 11.10, but I miss one of the Compiz settings greatly.. the ability to use my scrollwheel to change window opacity.
I don't really want to change back to compiz/gnome classic just for this one ability, as I rather like the direction gnome shell is going with the overview page and workspace management.
Please tell me this is possible, someone!
I don't understand why I keep getting unsupported format errors when using the last.fm plugin in rhythmbox. It seems to happen every time I try to play a song only one or two tracks advanced.. if I try to play a song that's three or more tracks ahead it works fine.

How to emulate winkey+arrow Windows 7's maximise shortcut keys?
Is there anything that provides functionality in gnome/compiz/ubuntu similar to Window 7's new snapping features? This includes the following abilities:
- Dragging a window by its title bar to the top edge of the screen maximizes the window-
- Dragging the window away from the top restores the window to its original size
- Dragging a window by its title bar to either edge of the screen fills that half of the monitor - fully vertically maximized and half horizontally maximized.
- Dragging the same window away from the edge restores the window to its original size
- Double-clicking on the vertical resize edges of any window maximizes the window vertically with its current horizontal size
I've come to really enjoy this feature of windows 7 and would love to have something identical in ubuntu.
I have a dark GTK theme installed in my Ubuntu 10.10 install and a persona installed for Firefox that I also like.
The problem is that Firefox is using my dark GTK theme for items like buttons and text fields on common web pages, and this commonly creates unreadable menus, text areas, and buttons. (white text on white backgrounds, or black text on black buttons).
I don't want to change either theme, because they look great in every other application, and I don't want to have to do something crazy to my Firefox install like use custom user scripts or CSS overrides.
All I want to do is tell Firefox to stop using my GTK theme completely. This appears to be what Google's Chrome browser does and it makes the most sense by far.
How can web developers possibly work around all the possible GTK themes out there?
I used the add to panel applet to add a 'drawer' of common shortcuts to my gnome-panel, but when I click on the drawer icon, it only pops up far enough to see one icon until I mouse over it and hover there for a second or two.
Then, it finally expands the rest of the way so I can click on the other icons.
How can I fix this annoyance?
In windows, I used to use a text editor called crimson editor which featured the best column-mode editing support I have yet to use.
When enabled via a simple Alt-C shortcut, selections could be made with the mouse or cursor keys and they would be visual blocks rather than wrapped-lines.
These selections could be deleted, moved, copied, pasted, and all of the operations just made sense. You could also just start typing, and you'd get a column of the characters as you're typing.
There are multiple ways of getting parts of the these features working separately discussed on this forum thread, but no one has yet to provide a solution that provides this all-encompassing and easy-to-use method.
If someone could point me to a gedit plugin where this work is actively being pursued, perhaps I could help with the coding myself. If someone is aware of a text editor that already provides this full functionality, I'd appreciate the info. Running crimson editor through wine and the close-but-not-quite multi-edit plugin for gedit are the temporary solutions I'm 'getting by with' for the time being.
UPDATE (2012-11): I'm now a very happy user of sublime text. It supports excellent column-mode editing and works on all three major OS platforms without any issue. Highly recommended!
Empathy is a rather nice IM client and I like the included themes, but I don't see how to move my tabs in my conversation windows to the bottom of the window instead of the top.. any ideas?
I currently have ubuntu 10.04 (planning on upgrading soon to 10.10) on a server at home with a large music and video collection.
I own a blackberry bold 9700 on AT&T and an HTC Desire (Android) on US Cellular, and I'd like to be able to listen to music (and perhaps even watch these videos, although this is less important) easily from both of these phones while on the go.
I've installed subsonic, which is quite nice and does a lot of what I'd like to do, except that using the android app requires paying a license fee that I'd rather avoid by finding a truly free alternative, and simply going through the web interface on either phone's browser is hardly easy or intuitive.
Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.. hearing from people who have already found working solutions for the bold 9700 would be ideal, as this is my primary phone.
