comment How do I disable the screensaver/lock in 12.04?
This does not work. The X server has a separate setting that still causes the monitor to turn off after N minutes of inactivity.

comment Adhoc network does not connect to correct cell
I'd also like to know this. I can't join the same ad-hoc from two different computers because they're using different cell numbers. How do you set the cell number?

This does not work. Network Manager is garbage.

comment How do I completely turn off screensaver and power-management?
This does not work. I have an HDMI monitor, and it still turns off after a few minutes. All screensaver and power settings seem to be completely ignored.

comment Can't install Ubuntu using HDMI
It's the onboard video, so I'm assuming Intel integrated graphics.

comment How can I properly create /dev/dvd?
I ran into the same problem on a Dell Inspiron 660s. Wish there was a better answer for this problem.

comment What should I do when Ubuntu freezes?
Unfortunately, System Monitor is quite CPU intensive. It typically consumes up to 20% of my CPU, so if you're computer's bogged down, launching SM is only going to grind it into the dirt faster.

What do you do if you're using a Mac that has no SysRq key?

comment How to disable Ubuntu One Signin Screen
This was it, thanks. The complete lack of the name "Deja-Dup" coupled with the plastering of "Ubuntu One" everywhere was understandably confusing.

comment How do I shrink the root logical volume (LV) on LVM?
These instructions do not work. lvs shows the correct new size, but GParted still shows the LVM with the original size. All your doing is explaining how to shrink the filesystem, not the partition. The partition is still taking up the original amount of disk space.

comment Flash player keeps crashing in firefox with ubuntu 12.04
He already has Flash installed. Re-installing it is not going to help. Adobe is no longer updating Flash because even they realize how horrible their technology is.

comment Upgrading Gnome Shell Extensions
It's a buggy site. I get a JS error for the code: $.ajaxSettings.headers['X-CSRFToken'] = $.cookie('csrftoken'); main.js line 13.

comment Headset Input Setting As Default
For me, this temporarily broke Gnome-Shell, disabling my keyboard and ability to switch windows, but after a hard reboot my headset was properly auto-connected and selected as the output device.

comment Upgrading Gnome Shell Extensions
Is there some other way? The site extensions.gnome.org is incredibly buggy. I have a dozen extensions installed, but every page on that site is blank...

comment Can't Boot EDD information not available
Holy crap. This actually worked. Pressing those buttons has no immediate effect (the laptop doesn't power on or anything), but afterwards when I pressed only the powerbutton, it booted up correctly. Thanks.

comment How to allow key functions while desktop locked
With a simple test script, I've confirmed that locking the screen does not deprive access of the xserver session to Pulseaudio.

comment Can't Boot EDD information not available
Recently had the same problem. Gnome-shell crashed on me, making the UI unusuable, so I did a hard reboot, and got the same error...

comment NetworkManager not populating resolv.conf
Disabling that line and then restarting NM has no noticeable effect for me. The error still occurs and NM still refuses to populate resolv.conf.
