is there a program for ubuntu that will allow me to set contrast,gamma etc on my hp laptop?

hi, i recently switched to gnome 3 from unity (much better, wow), but none of the links in the top menu work... the menus themselves work, but when i go to system settings, my account, network settings, or even data and time settings, nothing happens. i can launch these things from a terminal, but from the menu they're broken for some reason. are there logs somewhere so i can see what's going on?

hi, does anyone know how to calibrate a touchscreen?

there are calibration utilities out there. check the forums there are many threads on this. sorry no direct linkage for you off the top of my head.

for programs that are terminal-based, is there a way to run them after closing the terminal (since closing the terminal kills the process)

you can use screen or tmux, or you can read up on nohup
