Many of you might know that it is possible to add a spacer to the Mac OS dock icons with: $ defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '{"tile-type"="spacer-tile";}' $ killall Dock but the problem is, I find them a bit wide. I'm wondering if anyone knows a way to adjust the space of those spacers An image of the spacers I'm talking about can be found here Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I have a pair of earbuds with a microphone that I would like to record with instead of the terrible inbuilt one. Unfortunately, when I plug it in it still uses the inbuilt one. The icon next to the jack indicates that it is speaker and microphone, and the end of my audio jack does have four rings. The microphone works fine on my Android phone, so I know it isn't the earbuds' fault. I remember when I first plugged them, there was a dialogue menu that asked what I wanted to connect it as, and I se...

Info: I'm using acer aspire 5733 (windows 8). I recently bought a new battery online that has a capacity of 112 Wh (which is double the original 48 Wh AS10D31 battery that the laptop came with). It came with the same voltage as the original one which is 10.8 V. Charger supplies 19 V 3.42 A 65W. Problem: I cannot charge the new battery past 43% even after two days of charging. I tried to calibrate the battery by draining it all the way and uninstalling Microsoft ACPI compliant control but all att...

So as the title says, I bricked my laptop. I'm not that good at explaining but let me try. I reformatted my laptop and installed the drivers given by the acer support, driver and manual site. and noticed my speakers aren't working. I opened my laptop to check if the speakers are still okay or the pins might have been disconnected. So it was still okay, after a couple of minutes searching, I found out I needed to update my BIOS. and so I did (yes I checked the version first). everything was doing...

I am trying to dual boot windows and linux by putting my second ssd in this optical drive caddy. However, the caddy is not recognized by the BIOS. As far as I can tell from this site, I am running the latest version for my model (v1.21). When I tu on the computer, the blue light on the caddy lights up so I am assuming there is at least getting stata power if not data. Did I get a bricked caddy? Unfortunately I do not have another laptop to test it in. The ssd works perfectly if I put it directly...

I would like the fans to automatically adjust speed based on appropriate inteal temperatures. I have a dual-boot with Windows 10 and it works as expected under Windows. However, when I log in to Ubuntu, the fans are quiet for about 30 seconds and then spin up to what I'm guessing is about 70-80%. I took the following steps: sensors-detect service kmod start sensors pwmconfig The output of each of these commands can be found in this pastebin. I don't know much about hardware/drivers/modules, so...

I am running Linux Mint on an Acer Aspire E 5 574G. The problem I am facing is, I have to press and hold the power button for a bit to trigger the lock screen or suspend or whatever option I have set in the power management section. But if I hold it for even half a second longer, the machine powers down. Is there a way to make it respond to a tap of the power button and not a hold down? When I tried to test detecting the power button tap with xev, it couldn't. Holding it did detect the stroke th...

Good moing everyone. I am having a bad time trying to fix my laptop Acer Aspire E1-570. I have a black screen of death, when I press the power button the fans start spinning for a second and then stop. The processor LED start to blink (when the pc worked this LED didn't blink, it was always steady).

When I boot the computer, it automatically goes into repair mode, eventually reaching a screen saying "Reparing hard disk errors. This can take over an hour" (or something like that, the actual text is not in english). The computer hangs at that screen forever (it's been attempted for 24 hours). I would like to bypass this repair to boot up a linux live cd and see if I can salvage some data. Pressing the customary bios keys (f2, f10, f12, delete, enter, running palm accross keyboard) doesn't see...
