Contents
Thumb Drives
You must insert your removable thumb drive before you login.
Maple
If xmaple isnt displaying properly on a machine with 3d effects enabled:
for bash: export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit -- OR -- for tcsh: setenv AWT_TOOLKIT MToolkit
Authentication
Screen Saver - you must enter your login information twice to unlock the screen.
Opening RealPlayer Files
RealPlayer files do not automatcially open when clicked on.
Open realplayer, click open location and paste in the url.
Logout Button Doesn't Work
There is bug the keeps logout from working in screen saver mode.
The workaround is to shutdown the current X sessions with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.
Info Pages
Info only returns man pages
This is a bug in Ubuntu, the workaround is to type: info coreutils ls
Replace ls with the command you want the info page for.
