I am trying to put two versions of the same app (Emacs) in my favorites, each launched with different CLI flags. I modified the existing .desktop file and installed it via
desktop-file-install --dir=/home/leo/.local/share/applications ./emacs-scratch.desktop
however I still see only one instance of the Emacs favorite icon. Is there a way to create a second one? I checked that the new .desktop file is in ~/.local/share/applications and passes validation.
Speakers stay on in Ubuntu 12.04 when headphones are plugged into the jack. (Fujitsu T2010, ICH8 chipset, ALC262 audio). All was working fine in 11.10. /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf contains options snd-hda-intel model=fujitsu which used to be working before.
I submitted a bug report (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/997420), but in the meantime I am looking for an acceptable solution. Right now I can't use my laptop to listen to music or watch videos in public places, which is very frustrating.
Is there some workaround that will allow to mute the speakers while listening to the headphone output?
Ever since upgrading to 12.04, I've lost my custom super-s shortcut that I've been using through xbindkeys. Moreover, assigning super-s to commands using the "keyboard shortcuts" settings panel fails to take effect. I am assuming some part of 12.04 UI is stealing that binding; I am running Xmonad using Gnome's fallback mode, so I have no idea what (if anything) super-s is supposed to do on 12.04.
What is stealing the super-s binding and how can I stop it?
After following instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs, I am able to mount directory via sshfs as root, however, autofs doesn't work for me.
My auto.master contains
/media/sshfs /etc/auto.sshfs uid=1000,gid=1000,--timeout=30 --ghost
and auto.sshfs has
remote1 -fstype=fuse,rw,nodev,nonempty,noatime,allow_other,max_read=65536 :sshfs\#me@host\:
ls /media/sshfs/remote1 gives "No such file or directory". Any hints on what might be going wrong?
