I am using Lubuntu and I can't find any GUI for screensaver settings. I am missing something ?
Lubuntu 13.10 .
I frequently need to login from my desktop into my laptop using FreeNX, I am able to redirect the audio from session running on the laptop by setting the pulse audio default server using the "padevchooser" applet, setting it to the IP of my desktop.
Is there an easy way to achieve this from the freenx session login ? For example overriding the PA default server from the .bash_profile?
The other party is sending their webcam view and I am sending mine, so that they can see everything fine, but i only can see a blank window.
when enabling the "show my webcam" it shows for a few milliseconds but then just disappears.
It happens with two different graphic cards, it's very unlikely to be graphics card related.
Any ideas on what could be the problem?
I have a Logitech which I remember to be working fine from skype some releases, ago, since Lucid it is not functional from skype.
The /dev/video0 from the webcam shows up on the skype device list but the test function procudes no results.
It works fine from cheese so it's not a kernel driver issue, any idea on what could be the problem for skype ?
I have found that there is an "Ubuntu Support Team" at https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-helpteam but I am not sure it's official or active.
Please note that I am not referring to bug fixing support, I am referring to the broader OS support, with people available to engage users needing support with a problem and drive it to a proper resolution.
Is there an official team for this purpose with a clear scope and activity plan ?
I have created a live usb from an Ubuntu 11.04 daily cd image using usb disk creator. I have bandwidth constrains so I would like to update the live usb from a current daily cd image without downloading an entire image.
I am testing Natty and found an issue with the global menu, what is the proper package name to report the bug?
I would like to boot a testing Ubuntu release from a directory (which contains a debootstrap based install).
As far as I understand I just need someway to tell the boot process (initrd scripts?) that it should chroot() into the specified dir immediately after mounting the root partition, and then resume the regular upstart/init start.
Could someone provide some instructions on how to achieve this?

If I understood it correctly the plan is to remove the notification area from the gnome2 applet, blocking notifications from all apps except java and wine. How will this affect other applications (e.g. skype) which depend on the notification area interface ?
Is there a gnome applet that will let me configure a list of URLs to be verified and report when some is unavailable ? Preferably using notifiations.
The validation must use HTTP GET or HEAD .
I have been trying to enable XDMCP on GDM without much success. Following some instructions I have edited /etc/gdm/custom.conf and added:
[daemon]
RemoteGreeter=/usr/lib/gdm/gdm-xdmcp-chooser-slave
[xdmcp]
Enable=true
Then restarted gdm and tried to connect both locally and from a remote system with:
Xnest :1 -query localhost
Xnest :1 -query remote_system_hostname
I just get a black screen instead of the GDM window as expected. I am missing something ?
After upgrading to Maverick I have my TERM variable set to 'dumb', this does not happen with the same home dir running from Lucid and I didn't manually changed anything related to TERM.
Any idea where is the TERM variable expected to be set from?
