I'm probably missing something here. I'm using the default Ubuntu power manger, I set it up like this:
Still, Ubuntu does whatever it likes, and after 15 min it puts the display to sleep.
Does anyone have the same problem and found a way to solve it? I'm using an Eee PC with Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop.
SiSoftware Sandra is a hardware diagnostic tool for windows: http://www.sisoftware.net/ the time update my little note book has come, and i encountered the problem of not knowing what is the model of my processor(the notebook come in two flavours, its asus eee pc 1005ha btw and yes, i did try to google it). and its very critical for me since im upgrading the ram.
edit: sorry for the misunderstanding, i need to find out my processor model right now but i want to find similar software for future use that is more than just finding what is my processor.
I know that Alt+Ctrl+F1-F6 take me to available command lines, and that F1 command line is used for debugging, and F8 is the GUI desktop, that what i know but today i noticed there in F7 that does nothing, it only displays some sort of log in message, and there is F9-F12 that just display black screen with blinking under scroll .
can anyone enlighten me what those consoles do, are they for trouble shooting maybe? i use ubuntu netbook 10.10.
I don't want to wipe my hard drive. I just want to get rid of all the extra software I've installed over time, and return to a prisitine, default system.
I want to add my own library to use in c compiling, but don't really know where ubuntu stores it.
I am trying to learn how to tweak my shell in the file but can't seems to find the file in my home directory or in /etc/profile.
Is there any other file I need to search for, or am I expected to create one from scratch?
or any other program while i'm at it, ubuntu built-in utilities are nice but there are better.
well i encountered a problem that i described in this question: Problem with permissions after upgrading and while speaking with my friend about it he mentioned some kind of protocol that can take the permissions from root users he called it clinux but it think i misheard him because when i tried to google it, nothing came up.
A month or so ago I updated from 10.04 to 10.10, the problem is that after the update process programs that I had full control of no longer respond to me as a regular user, and work normally only when I run them through the terminal using sudo.
Any idea how to fix that? The programs that don't run normally are all the programs I installed before the distribution upgrade.
I used sudo update-manager -d to upgrade btw.
I have eeepc 1005ha, and want to have the ability to enlarge and scroll down/up/left/right with the pad, is it possible?
Both the built-in Gnome movie player and vlc both have strange color distortions : human skin color changes to blue; if it was pink it changes to green ; if it was yellow it changes to pink. The weird part is that when I watch clips in the browser the colors are right. Has anyone encountered this?
I am trying to create an encrypted partition, and while I format it I get the option to choose the partition type (fat/ext2/ext3/ext4/xfs/reiserfs/minix/ntfs). Is there any benefit of choosing one filesystem over the others if I want my partition to have strong encryption?
Also, could you recommend an easy-to-use encryption app, and give instructions on how to create an encrypted partition?
Well i tried kubuntu not long ago , didnt liked it and purged it from my system, except one thing, I still have the kde login screen, is there anyway to get my gnome login screen back?
Since Ubuntu is a Debian derivative I thought maybe it's possible
I am talking about a program that will show you all the changes you made to the system, in case I have to trouble shoot my system? A CLI one will be better, in case of worst case scenario

What IDEs are available for Ubuntu?
I know that asking for something like Visual Studio is too much but something that will let me write, debug and compile in a GUI instead of the command line is good enough for me. (Not that I'm lazy, but I don't have time to learn the necessary commands...)
