I tried to sync Lightning with my office's exchange server using the following steps:

• Create a new Calendar
• Select "On the Network", click Continue
• Select "Microsoft Exchange 2007/2010", click Continue
• Name your calendar, make sure the E-Mail is your Cisco email address, click Continue
• Fill out the form using autodiscovery to find the correct URL
  • Check the "Use Exchange's autodiscovery function"
  • Populate the Username with your CEC username
  • Populate the Domainname with CISCO.
  • Click Perform Autodiscovery
  • Select an EWS server
  • The Server URL will now be populated, and Folderbase should be Calendar
  • Click Continue
• Finished.

But i'm getting the following error:

Error during autodiscovery: Fatal XML conversion error. Probably because we did not receive a page with XML. (onLoad)

"!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtm"

I tried to make my USB drive for Ubuntu using unetbootin but after it finished loading the os on usb drive, i get this message: "The created USB device will not boot off a Mac. Insert it into a PC, and select the USB boot option in the BIOS boot menu." Anybody has any idea?

I installed Ubuntu 11.10 on VMware, and now when I boot Ubuntu, it takes me directly to a 2D session. Anything I'm missing here that would prevent it from loading the 3D desktop?

Was just wondering it would be nice to have a convenient way of installing android's .apk apps in Ubuntu somehow.

Somebody has a clue about it?

I just installed Docky on Xubuntu and for adding Home folder and Terminal to it, i opened these apps and clicked on their icons for "Pin to dock". Now, when i close them and then click on their respective icons on Docky, nothing happens. What can be done?

Since picasa is no longer available on ubuntu(and i dont want to go for the workarounds for installing it), is there some application available in Ubuntu which can sync albums with picasa web albums?

Could anybody tell me the steps to run and configure a FreeRadius on Ubuntu. I've installed it through Software center. Also let me whether lamp-server is required? I don't want to have a LDAP directory, just a local set of few usernames/password.

I couldn't find a way to configure out of office auto reply mechanism in Thunderbird like there is in Outlook. The only way i have found through searching online is to create a message filter but that needs the laptop and Thunderbird to be running all the time, which is stupid in my view. Please share if you know a way.

I tried Ubuntu Tweak and dconf-editor but nothing seemed to help. Perhaps if there is an extension for the same, please share if you happen to know this or any other workaround.

I installed Jupiter on Ubuntu 11.10 and set the preference mode to "Power Saver" but haven't seen any noticeable difference. Does it really do what it claims?

Since morning today, my laptop has been freezing up frequently. Only option available at that time is to kill x-server(as ctrl-alt-backspace is the only thing which works that time). I checked "Task manager" and it shows "gnome-shell" process consuming upto 70% of CPU. What is going wrong and what can be done to fix it?

Update Issue happened again and i captured few snapshots, which shows the consistent CPU percentage consumed by 'gnome-shell' process. You can also check the "graph" on top-center, which is continuously touching the roof!

UPDATE

I've moved to Cinnamon Desktop. This problem was hampering my work productivity alot so finally made the switch and i'm pretty comfortable with it now.

Following is what's happening(plesae check the icon for show desktop/firefox/advanced setting on the top bar falling outside):

Can we do something about this?

I installed Xubuntu-desktop over Ubuntu 11.10 and now when I shutdown my system or start it up, I see Xubuntu's bootsplash screen. Is simply removing the plymouth theme for Xubuntu corrects the problem and brings back default Ubuntu's? I don't want to 'experiment' thereby breaking something during the process.

In earlier releases I could do that by right-clicking on a document file, going to Properties -> Open With and selecting Abiword, but in 11.10 I can't see Abiword as an option. How can I now make it the default application for opening my doc/docx files?

When i right-click on desktop or home screen of Xubuntu, i see considerable delay before the menu appears. Is it normal? Can this be tweaked to bring down the delay like that of other Ubuntu distros or for that matter to Ubuntu's right-click.

With single-screen, Unity is fast in opening apps, switching between opened apps, etc.

When I use dual-monitor then i see considerable drop in performance in the above mentioned areas. Overall system performance comes down to a crawl. I opened the same apps when using both single and dual-monitor. Is it a know bug? I'm on 11.10.

I am fan of Xubuntu just because of its snappiness. Now i know that it is based on light-weight XFCE which is the secret for this snappiness but I am just wondering if something could be done on Unity to bring it, say, close to that snappiness?

I have not installed NVIDIA's driver as I have never seen any improvements on Ubuntu. Would love to hear views on this in case somebody have been able to tweak some settings.

I am planning to buy a new laptop and as I'm an Ubuntu Fanatic. I'd like to know whether the procedure of installing Ubuntu on a Mac is as simple and straight-forward as it is on a PC. If it is then I'll go with Mac otherwise I'll stick to Lenovo.

I loved the various extensions available for GNOME Shell but I don't want to enjoy their benefits at the cost of slowing the system down. Is there any known impact?
