    "content": "# \n\nDate: \nCategories: \nTags: \n\nUPDATE: This has turned into a discussion on CalDAV/CardDAV installations, namely a server called CaliDAV\n\n--\n\nI currently have a box running the following:\n\n```\nUbuntu 12.04\nPentium D 2.8GHz w/ 2 cores\n4GB DDR2 memory\n(2) 2TB hard drives\n```\n\nI use this exclusively as a plex media server and it's been absolutely flawless while functioning as this.\n\nHowever I have decided that I need to get my contacts under control. Prior to them shutting down I had used a service called sync2em to organize my contacts. They provided an exchange server and I could update my contacts real-time with any of my devices and my desktop client.\n\nAlas they turned off their service and my contacts have turned into a big mess. I have various contacts on my ipad, iphone, windows 7 box, and a couple web email providers. It's really become quite annoying and hampering my ability to get stuff done always having to dig around to find an email or a phone number. I've decided enough is enough.\n\nMy goal is to consolidate all of my contacts into one central server that I can use for not only emails, but address book, birthday, notes (for the contact), etc. I do -NOT- want to use google, apple, or any of those companies to hold this data because -- well -- does this really require an explanation? I want to do this locally on my own server.\n\nHere's my questions:\n\n* Is an LDAP server appropriate for this?\n* If so what kind of applications would I install? Is this difficult to do?\n* Will this LDAP server conflict with this machines plex server functions?\n* If not, what kind of resources will it take up as basically just used for a address book?\n* Will I be able to update the LDAP server from all my devices provided I use a desktop client? The webmail provider I use is yandex.com. The way they handle contacts is absolutely horrendous.\n* Can you think of any other type of way to accomplish this that may be a better solution than an LDAP server?\n\nThanks for your help.",

    "content": "# \n\nDate: \nCategories: \nTags: \n\nI'm thinking about dual booting my current ubuntu 12.04 OS with fedora 18. My question is when I shrink the current ubuntu partition, which takes the whole disk (with Gparted) will I be able to share the swap current swap partition with fedora? And will the swap partition move with ubuntu or will it stay at the far right side of the drive partition map (From Gparted's point of view)\n\n## 2 Answers\n\nAbsolutely. Both Ubuntu and Fedora can share the same swap partition without any problems.\n\nWhen your computer starts, you're given the choice to boot ONE operating system - Ubuntu or Fedora. That one OS you choose to boot will use the swap partition when necessary. The other OS can't use the swap space, as it hasn't booted yet.\n\nTo make Ubuntu and Fedora share a swap area, choose the existing swap partition as the mount point for Fedora's swap area when you install it, rather than creating an entirely new swap area.\n\n> \n\nWhen you shrink a partition other partitions are not affected.\n\nThus the swap partition can be shared with Fedora.\n\nInfact, since only one operating system will be booted at a time, the swap partition can be shared among any number of operating systems.\n\nThe swap partition will remain intact as it has nothing to do with your Ubuntu partition.\n\nAfter you shrink the Ubuntu Partition, you will get a Ubuntu Partition (with a smaller disk space) and some free space.",

I'm just a week new to Linux.\n\nThank you very much Olli and Wolfgang Vogl for your quick responses and great information, but it didn't fix my problem. If I could have gained root access, which is normally done through the Terminal (where I couldn't see what I was typing), I probably could have fixed the problem by removing the \"#\" from the \"force_color_prompt=yes\" command line, and then setting the colors to whatever I wanted. I've read numerous blogs, sites, etc. about missing command prompts, and most referred to the .bashrc file which allows you to configure the color of the command prompt sections, just as Olli and Wolfgang stated.\n\nI created a new user account, ensured that it's Terminal worked properly, and it did. Then I compared it's .bashrc file to the accounts .bashrc file that didn't work. They were the same.\n\nI kept searching and found the solution at How to reset the terminal properties and preferences?, answered by aneeshep.\n\nI couldn't believe how easy it was to fix. The problem was that I had changed my background theme to one of my own which also changed other sections of that user's account profile, namely the Terminal. With my background theme, I couldn't see the File, Edit, etc. menu bar for the Terminal. Also, with the Terminal not maximized, I didn't realize the menu bar at the very top of the screen was for the Terminal.\n\nTo fix it, just navigate to Edit > Profile Preferences. Select the Colors tab, and configure the colors as needed.\n\nI've read about numerous other people having the same problem, and I'm sure they just changed their background theme. If the resolution was just a little easier to find.\n\nI want to thank aneeshep, Olli and Wolfgang Vogl again. Thanks.",

    "content": "# \n\nDate: \nCategories: \nTags: \n\nI think that the time is ripe to have my whole Ubuntu synchronized just as my Dropbox folder is.\n\nGiven that we are always talking about files and directories, what's the difference between my `Documents` folder and my `/usr` system directory? Almost none, except for their location.\nIn fact, I think that there is just one big issue that prevents people to have their beloved installations mirrored wherever they go: symlinks.\n\nDropbox, Google Drive, Ubuntu One, Sugarsync, Skydrive, none of these services support symlinking. This means that if I push a symlink in one of the synced folders, locally the symlink is kept as is, but remotely (in the cloud or on the other synced machines) the symlink is resolved to the actual file that was originally pointed to.\n\nThis completely disrupts Linux installations, thus these services can't be used for this purpose.\n\nSo the question is: Does anybody knows a way to achieve a completely synchronized Ubuntu, always synchronized with a remote running copy, but still locally stored on both disks?\n\nMy best guess is that I could use NFS. But the main difference between Dropbox and NFS is that NFS is a remote filesystem that always forces to remotely access the files, while Dropbox pushes modifications to local filesystems (and thus would perform better). I've also heard about NFS caching. Does anybody knows if this solution could approximate Dropbox in this sense?\n\nP.s. I know that `/boot`, `/dev`, `/proc`, `/run`, `/tmp` and device-specific mount points in `/mnt` and `/media` will have to be left out the sync mechanism. What I'm interested in is the principle. Can this be done with reasonable performance, having reasonable resources (e.g. ~ 1Mbps upload bandwidth and a public IP address)?",

Functions from the former `ibus-setup` are instead integrated into System Settings >> Text Entry.\nInput switching is now set by default to Super + Space, but Ibus may still steal focus from the Control + Space keybinding and cause other system problems, most notably the auto-complete in Eclipse.\n\nIntegration of Ibus input switching into the new Text Entry settings is still a work in progress, and this is causing the problem since the older setting still exists behind the scenes.\n\nIf you have upgraded from 12.04, `ibus-settings` should still be available.In 14.04, you can edit the settings directly is `dconf-editor`.\nIf it is not installed:\n\n> \n `sudo apt install dconf-editor` Then browse to Desktop >> ibus >> general >> hotkey. The `trigger` and `triggers` setting will still show 'control+space'. Edit these settings out, being careful to leave empty brackets `[]` in `triggers`.",

Up until now, I've been using the AMD proprietary driver (AMD Catalyst 13.4).\n\nAfter building the 3.10 (now 3.10.1) kernel, however, I no longer had a graphical interface!\n\nIt turns out that 3.10 has introduced a major change in the /proc filesystem API.

That version predates the kernel as well.\n\nHas anyone found a way to get an AMD graphics card working with this kernel?!?\n\nI've searched and searched, but I've been unable to find anything that will help me get this working!

This isn't a bug, per se, although I did see that someone had filed a bug report.\n\nFrom what I read on the issue, it's simply a matter that that there was a somewhat major change in kernel 3.10, and the AMD driver hasn't been updated to deal with it.\n\nI'm simply asking if anyone with an AMD graphics card has successfully built 3.10, and, if so, how?!?",

Has anyone out there already done this? I really want to keep using Magix. I'm still extremely new to this (have only started using Ubuntu a month ago) and am wondering if I am doing it right. I also tried installing a Windows dice game using Wine but that didn't work either.\n\n* Visit appdb.winehq.org/index.php and click e.g. \"Browse by Developer\" or \"Browse Apps\" in the left sidebar to search for your application and find out how well it is supported by Wine.– Byte Commander ♦Commented Apr 8, 2017 at 20:08\n\n## 1 Answer\n\nThere is no database entry for Magix in the appdb, so we can assume that nobody else tried.\n\nLaunching the program from the terminal and pasting its output would be helpful for analysis. You should report a bug to the Wine developers using the latest version.\n\nI understand that this program has a workflow which is nice and easy for you, but if you browse around some sites on the web focused on web design you will realize that designers mostly work with text editors, web browser developer tools and documentation (HTML, DOM, CSS, JS, etc). Here is an example of such a site.\n\n* Thanks for the replies. I know there are other web design programs that work with Linux; our website: Robert Rocks The Mandolin has a Magix web address since we got free webspace with the software. The change of web address is a bigger issue than the software itself. That's why I'd like to keep using Magix if possible. I was able to install some of my other Windows programs using Wine but Magix gets stuck after 3/4 installation. I'm not sure if it's the software itself that's causing the problem or the fact that it requires a lot of memory and our current computer is 12 years old.– CBACommented Apr 16, 2017 at 10:36",

How to fix this ?\n\n## 1 Answer\n\nYou cannot upload a version older or equal to, a version you've already uploaded to a PPA. My advice would be to live with the mistake, and don't make the same mistake in the future. Be sure everything is right, before you upload something to a PPA.\n\nYou can use sbuild or pbuilder to run test builds locally in a chroot, to help ensure everything builds properly, before uploading.\n\n* Who downvoted this 6 year old answer? And why? Launchpad keeps version history in the database and you cannot upload a version older or equal to, what you have already uploaded (because if someone installed the newer version, they won't know they need to force a downgrade manually).– dobeyCommented Sep 9, 2018 at 12:48\n* Sorry, that's mine: advice not to make mistakes in a future looks redundant for me.

Unfortunately, this setting seems to be broken and doesn't do anything.\n\nBased on the comments at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1547743, I executed the `fc-match serif` command, which returns a reference to the offending font as I expected:\n\n```\numing.ttc: \"AR PL UMing TW\" \"Light\"\n```\n\nI believe that changing this value is key to manually fixing this issue without changing the operating system language to English.\n\nQuestion\n\nSo my question is: \"How do I configure the result of the fontconfig command `fc-match serif` ?\" Despite the documentation I've read, I still can't figure out how to do it.\nThe best idea I can come up with is to put the following code in a new global configuration file named local.conf located at /etc/fonts/:\n\n```\n<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM \"fonts.dtd\">\n<fontconfig>\n    <alias>\n        <family>serif</family>\n        <prefer><family>Liberation Sans</family></prefer> \n    </alias>\n</fontconfig>\n```\n\nOf course, this doesn't work.\n\nI also can't figure out anything definitive about (A) where the local user configuration file is supposed to be placed other than somewhere nested within the user's `$HOME` directory, (B) what the local configuration file is supposed to be named, and (C) the minimum requirements of what the local configuration file should contain.\nWith regard to (A), apparently, it was historically placed in the ~/.fonts folder, but the comment in the /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file indicates that use of this directory is deprecated.",

I presently use Kubuntu 20.04.\n\nThe stylo was recognized out of the box (apparently, as a kind of mouse with buttons). The buttons on the pad, of course, weren't.\n\nUsing digimend-kernel-drivers did not really help me. First, there are installation issues on 20.04. Second, after I overcame them (I can provide details if anyone is interested), wacom driver partially recognized the tablet. I was still unable to do anything with the buttons but my writing started looking weird - letters would come out much wider than before. So I had to get rid of digimend.\n\nAt the end, the following worked. I simply created a file in `/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/` named `99-huion950P.conf` :\n\n```\nSection \"InputClass\"\n    Identifier \"Huion tablets with Wacom driver\"\n    MatchUSBID \"256c:006d*\"\n    MatchIsTablet \"true\"\n    MatchDevicePath \"/dev/input/event*\"\n    Driver \"wacom\"\nEndSection\n```\n\n(My H950P has product number 006d). After restarting X server, wacom recognized both the stylus and the pad; `xsetwacom --list` produced the following output:\n\n```\nHID 256c:006d Pen stylus                id: 11  type: STYLUS    \nHID 256c:006d Pad pad                   id: 12  type: PAD\n```\n\nNow it is possible to use xsetwacom to configure buttons. The tricky part was to figure out button numbers. For some reason completely unclear to me buttons turned out to have numbers 1,2,3 and 8,9,10,12. For example, this command sets up the lowest button (assuming that they are on the left) to switch xournal++ into line drawing mode:\n\n```\nxsetwacom --set \"HID 256c:006d Pad pad\" Button 12 \"key +ctrl +6 -6 -ctrl\"\n```\n\nThe only thing I haven't figured out yet (mostly out of sheer laziness) is how to make button configuration upload automatically. For the time being I just wrote a simple shell script which I invoke every time the tablet is reconnected.\n\n* yes, thanks for the answer, it is up to date, the previous one is too old Commented Aug 3, 2020 at 8:07\n* Works fine with a Huion Inspiroy H640P with USB ids 256c:006d.

Also 256c:006d– StephenCommented Oct 4, 2020 at 12:32\n* 1This solution worked for me with Huion H1060P, on Ubuntu 18.04 (also with USB id 256c:006d). The trick was removing the DIGImend drivers. I have not tested the buttons yet, I'll report back when I do. Commented Jan 7, 2021 at 12:54\n* Worked for me at Mint 20.1 Linux and Huion Tablet_H320M (inspiroy ink). Thanks.– de-jcupCommented May 4, 2021 at 14:41\n\nAfter a long day of the search, I found that some people are writing a python workaround, so it's not the right way to do it, but it gets the job done at least until someone smart makes it a kernel level driver.\n\nyou can download and follow the instructions on github for Huion Inspiroy G10T or Huion H950p\n\nOr for starters:\n\nYou need first to add some python libraries:\n\n```\npip install pyusb\n\npip install evdev\n```\n\nThen, in a new folder download and unzip the files from github according to your tablet, or run terminal in the folder directory:\n\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/dannytaylor/pinspiroy.git   # (for G10T)\n```\n\nTo run it open terminal from folder:\n\n `sudo python pinspiroy` \nAnd you are good to go, you can change the default settings by modifying bindings.py and config.py\n\nPlease let me know if you have one other than these tablets that you are struggling with.\n\n* 5Seems digimend-kernel-drivers is now recommended github.com/DIGImend/digimend-kernel-drivers– HugolpzCommented Jan 7, 2019 at 12:10",

    "content": "# \n\nDate: \nCategories: \nTags: \n\nI have installed ubuntu using wubi and want to create a boot cd...how can I do this without downloading the iso file....\n\n## 4 Answers\n\nThe live CD is usually created with a filesystem called squashfs. Squashfs is read only compressed filesystem that allow us to squeeze our system into a single CD. Note that your system has to be about 2GB (this might need some trial an error) to produce a compressed image that fits on the CD. Otherwise, you will have to use a DVD\n\n## Creating a live CD from an existing/new installation\n\nFollow the procedure to create a live cd from your current installation.\n\n* \n\nSet up some variables:\n\n```\nexport WORK=~/temp export CD=~/livecd export FORMAT=squashfs export FS_DIR=casper\n```\n\nReplace ~/temp with a path to a temporary directory in which we will work in. Replace ~/livecd with a path to the CD tree.\n\n* \n\nMake the folder structure.\n\n```\nsudo mkdir -p ${CD}/{${FS_DIR},boot/grub} ${WORK}/rootfs\n```\n\n* \n\nNow we will need to install some packages:\n\n```\nsudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install grub2 xorriso squashfs-tools\n```\n\n* \n\nNow we will copy the current installation, modify the exclude flags to fit your needs:\n\n```\nsudo rsync -av --one-file-system --exclude=/proc/* --exclude=/dev/* \\ --exclude=/sys/* --exclude=/tmp/* --exclude=/home/* --exclude=/lost+found \\ --exclude=/var/tmp/* --exclude=/boot/grub/* --exclude=/root/* \\ --exclude=/var/mail/* --exclude=/var/spool/* --exclude=${WORK}/rootfs \\ --exclude=/etc/fstab --exclude=/etc/mtab --exclude=/etc/hosts \\ --exclude=/etc/timezone --exclude=/etc/shadow* --exclude=/etc/gshadow* \\ --exclude=/etc/X11/xorg.conf* --exclude=/etc/gdm/custom.conf \\ / ${WORK}/rootfs\n```\n\nNote -If you have a separate boot partition, execute this: `sudo cp -av /boot/* ${WORK}/rootfs/boot` Note-If you want to copy settings and some files from the home directory then First, define what directories we want to copy: `CONFIG='.config .gconf Desktop \"some-other-folder\" \"and-another-folder\"'` And now we copy that:\n\n```\ncd ~ && for i in $CONFIG\n    do\n    sudo cp -rpv --parents $i ${WORK}/rootfs/etc/skel\n    done\n```\n\nNautilus stores its settings in a directory called `.config` in the home directory, so I added `.config` to the variable $CONFIG:\n\n* \n\nNow we chroot into the new system and modify it.\n\n```\nsudo mount --bind /dev/ ${WORK}/rootfs/dev sudo mount -t proc proc ${WORK}/rootfs/proc sudo mount -t sysfs sysfs ${WORK}/rootfs/sys sudo mount -t devpts devpts ${WORK}/rootfs/dev/pts sudo chroot ${WORK}/rootfs /bin/bash\n```\n\nThe next commands are done in chroot:\n\n```\nLANG= apt-get update apt-get install casper\n```\n\nCasper contains live scripts. If you want an installer too, run this:\n\n```\napt-get install ubiquity ubiquity-frontend-gtk\n```\n\nOr if you want KDE:\n\n```\napt-get install ubiquity ubiquity-frontend-kde\n```\n\n* \n\nUpdate modules.dep and initramfs:\n\n```\ndepmod -a $(uname -r) update-initramfs -u -k $(uname -r)\n```\n\n* \n\nRemove non-system users - do not worry, we have copied the settings and data into the \"skeleton\" of users. That means all new users will have them.\n\n```\nfor i in `cat /etc/passwd | awk -F\":\" '{print $1}'` do uid=`cat /etc/passwd | grep \"^${i}:\" | awk -F\":\" '{print $3}'` [ \"$uid\" -gt \"999\" -a \"$uid\" -ne \"65534\" ] && userdel --force ${i} 2>/dev/null done\n```\n\n* \n\nClean up:\n\n```\napt-get clean find /var/log -regex '.*?[0-9].*?' -exec rm -v {} \\; find /var/log -type f | while read file do cat /dev/null | tee $file done rm /etc/resolv.conf /etc/hostname\n```\n\n* \n\nExit chroot.\n\n `exit` * \n\nNow, we copy the kernel:\n\n```\nexport kversion=`cd ${WORK}/rootfs/boot && ls -1 vmlinuz-* | tail -1 | sed 's@vmlinuz-@@'` sudo cp -vp ${WORK}/rootfs/boot/vmlinuz-${kversion} ${CD}/boot/vmlinuz sudo cp -vp ${WORK}/rootfs/boot/initrd.img-${kversion} ${CD}/boot/initrd.img sudo cp -vp ${WORK}/rootfs/boot/memtest86+.bin ${CD}/boot\n```\n\n* \n\nIf you have installed the installer, you will need to do this, so that the installer doesn't install things like casper:\n\n```\nsudo chroot ${WORK}/rootfs dpkg-query -W --showformat='${Package} ${Version}\\n' | sudo tee ${CD}/${FS_DIR}/filesystem.manifest sudo cp -v ${CD}/${FS_DIR}/filesystem.manifest{,-desktop} REMOVE='ubiquity casper user-setup os-prober libdebian-installer4' for i in $REMOVE do sudo sed -i \"/${i}/d\" ${CD}/${FS_DIR}/filesystem.manifest-desktop done\n```\n\n* \n\nUnmount what we have mounted:\n\n```\nsudo umount ${WORK}/rootfs/proc sudo umount ${WORK}/rootfs/sys sudo umount ${WORK}/rootfs/dev/pts sudo umount ${WORK}/rootfs/dev\n```\n\n* \n\nConvert to squashfs:\n\n```\nsudo mksquashfs ${WORK}/rootfs ${CD}/${FS_DIR}/filesystem.${FORMAT}\n```\n\n* \n\nMake filesystem.size:\n\n```\necho -n $(sudo du -s --block-size=1 ${WORK}/rootfs | tail -1 | awk '{print $1}') | sudo tee ${CD}/casper/filesystem.size\n```\n\n* \n\nAnd md5:\n\n```\nfind ${CD} -type f -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum | sed \"s@${CD}@.@\" | grep -v md5sum.txt |sudo tee ${CD}/md5sum.txt\n```\n\n* \n\nNow grub.cfg:\n\n```\nsudo nano ${CD}/boot/grub/grub.cfg\n```\n\n(replace nano with your fav text editor, it doesn't matter) Paste this and save:\n\n```\nset default=\"0\" set timeout=10 menuentry \"Ubuntu GUI\" { linux /boot/vmlinuz boot=casper quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img } menuentry \"Ubuntu in safe mode\" { linux /boot/vmlinuz boot=casper xforcevesa quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img } menuentry \"Ubuntu CLI\" { linux /boot/vmlinuz boot=casper textonly quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img } menuentry \"Ubuntu GUI persistent mode\" { linux /boot/vmlinuz boot=casper boot=casper persistent quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img } menuentry \"Ubuntu GUI from RAM\" { linux /boot/vmlinuz boot=casper nopersistent toram quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img } menuentry \"Check Disk for Defects\" { linux /boot/vmlinuz boot=casper integrity-check quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img } menuentry \"Memory Test\" { linux16 /boot/memtest86+.bin } menuentry \"Boot from the first hard disk\" { set root=(hd0) chainloader +1 }\n```\n\n* \n\nMake the CD/DVD!\n\n```\nsudo grub-mkrescue -o ~/live-cd.iso ${CD}\n```\n\n* \n\nTest it using a virtual machine!\n\nAll credit goes to capink, because the guide is from here.\n\nI copied it from here and made a few edits\n\n* This will get you something that approximates the installer, though if you have added any packages since installing, the created image will be too large to fit on a cd.– psusiCommented May 17, 2012 at 17:27\n* Oh thank you all very much...but i am just new to linux distros and dont now how to this coding stuff...is it possible through another method, where we dont need programming? Commented May 18, 2012 at 11:58\n\nIf you want to make your existing installation into a Bootable CD, here is a very detailed and easy to follow instruction.\n\nIf you want to simply obtain an original Ubuntu ISO from an installed system, I have no idea still now (It may be impossible) .\n\nYou can also see this short answer about creating Live CD from existing installation.\n\nDetail instruction of using remastersys software You can do this by installing remastersys.\n\nOpen your terminal, type `sudo su` and enter.type `wget -O - http://www.remastersys.com/ubuntu/remastersys.gpg.key | apt-key add -` and press enter and type your password.type again `sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list` and in the new opened file add this   line at the end of the file. `deb http://www.remastersys.com/ubuntu precise main` save and close the file.If you are using Ubuntu 11.10(Oneiric), replace `precise` with `oneiric`. for Ubuntu 11.04(natty) replace `precise` with `natty`.Then run `sudo apt-get update` in the terminal & `sudo apt-get install remastersys`.\n\nThis will install remastersys software, which can be used to create a CD from your installed system.\nGo to this page for instruction.\n\n* Oh thank you all very much...but i am just new to linux distros and dont now how to this coding stuff...is it possible through another method, where we dont need programming?

Commented Aug 18, 2012 at 16:37\n\nYes ,you can use remastersys for it , Note: It is just backup existing ubuntu installation ,It can't create original ubuntu cd\n\n* Oh thank you all very much...but i am just new to linux distros and dont now how to this coding stuff...is it possible through another method, where we dont need programming?

You might want to check to see if your host offers something like this. Commented Jul 7, 2016 at 9:35\n* As a safety precaution it can be a good practice to temporarily disable ufw auto-startup at boot (i.e. in Ubuntu 16 you would do\n `systemctl disable ufw` ). That way if you lock yourself out when you cycle ufw ( `ufw disable && ufw enable` ), you can reboot the system and ufw will be offline. If following this suggestion, don't forget to re-enable ufw ( `systemctl enable ufw` ) once you've confirmed that access is ok after cycling ufw.– VilleCommented Jan 9, 2017 at 4:50\n\n## 1 Answer\n\nOrdinarally Raja would have the reason. If it is on amazon cloud, you could set up another server, and attach the other server storage and change the config by hand. You have to know the provider features. Perhaps there are ways. Many \"dedicated servers\" aren't trully that. Ask for your host support.\n\nOr hire a whitehat pentester to try to do so if it is legal on your country. On my country is legal, as long as the servers is really yours.",

Everything was working fine in 13.04 and I could even play dota2 on steam. Since upgrading to 13.10 it has been a nightmare.\n\nRadeon 7770 card gives a black screen of death when loading Ubuntu. I am unable to get to a tty screen using the Radeon 7770 card and I have tried multiple kernels.\n\nTherefore, I was forced to used the inbuilt motherboard graphics card. On first load, there was lots of error and Ubuntu had to run in low-res mode or some error like that appeared since the drivers installed was AMD catalyst and fglrx. I removed them but I think it is incomplete and installed Xorg files. So now, at least my Ubuntu starts up flawlessly if I used the inbuilt motherboard graphics with no errors at all.\n\nI have tried changing lightdm to gdm, adding sleep, trying nomodeset, etc everything but it always still get stuck at the load screen without ability to tty if I use my Radeon card.\n\nI am trying to install back my Radeon 7770 card now and install the drivers for it. Since I cannot slot in the card and have the computer detect it and then install the drivers, I am trying to manually install the drivers before I slot in the card.\n\nI should have fglrx removed since there is no more fglrxinfo command. I have removed all the extra ppas (I tried oibaf, etc before) from software updates.\n\nRight now, I have downloaded the latest AMD drivers and done a\n\n```\nsudo sh amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13-4-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg\n```\n\ncommand and the deb files generate properly. But when I try to run\n\n `sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb` \nI get this error\n\n```\nUnpacking fglrx (from fglrx_13.250-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb) ...\nOne or more files have been altered since installation.\nUninstall will not be completed.

Am thinking of installing windows after all this frustration.\n\nThanks.\n\nEDIT ONE:\n\nOK I think I have partially solved the issue so if anyone is experiencing the same problems as me this might help.\n\nThe issue is that the drivers either work for my onboard card or my Radeon 7770 card.\n\nOriginally upgrading to 13.10 broke, so it was easier to fix the onboard card drivers first so that I can attempt to get to a terminal. After that, I been trying to fix the Radeon 7770 card.\n\nWhat I did from the last portion is to\n\n```\nsudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh -- force\n```\n\nThis caused the onboard graphics card to break. I would load into a black screen with just my X cursor.\n\nHowever, when I inserted my Radeon 7770 card now, it would at least also get me to the black screen with the X cursor. Which is positive! (weirdly enough). So now I could tty in with the Radeon Card installed. I went to the deb files and could do a\n\n `sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb` \nI also reinstalled the unity desktop.\n\nOn reboot, I could see the screen now with my Radeon 7770! There is still lots of errors popping up and I have to scale the screen but seems positive.\n\nEdit Two\n\nSo I have been trying to install Steam after getting the Radeon 7770 card to work. Word of caution is changing the drivers in the Software and Updates section to fglrx-updates fails badly.",

I discovered that my device uses radeon_bl0:\n\n `ls /sys/class/backlight/` \nto check and then i navigated to the brightness file under radeon_bl0. My maximum brightness was 255 of which my current settings was on and i changed the value to a much lesser value and there, it worked. Here is the code i used...\n\n```\necho 'value' > /sys/class/backlight/radeon_bl0/brightness\n```\n\nwhere 'value' is any value between 1 and 255.\n\nHope this helps someone else.\n\nTry modifying GRUB configuration ( `/boot/grub/grub.cfg` ) and use: `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=\"quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux\"` \ninstead of:\n\n `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=\"quiet splash\"` \nThen reboot your computer.\n\n* Thanks for your quick reply but on my grub.cfg file i couldn't find the above line. Commented Aug 28, 2014 at 15:56\n* @OROBOGENIUS and anything that says\n `quiet splash` ? Sometimes people just insert that as a parameter for loading the kernel. Add `acpi_osi=Linux` just after `quiet splash` in the kernel parameters and try. Remember that you can always test without modifying `grub.cfg` by editing boot parameters on GRUB load (letter `e` or something). Also, in Ubuntu you could try editing the file `/etc/default/grub` as well (maybe there is the line I mentioned). Commented Aug 29, 2014 at 3:34Maybe, it could be the solution: Add `video.use_native_backlight=1` in the grub `sudo gedit /etc/default/grub` \nAnd add:\n\n```\nGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=\"quiet splash video.use_native_backlight=1\"\n```\n\nThen update the grub:\n\n `sudo update-grub` \nFinally, reboot.\n\n* @Tim in some cases kernel parameters have to be set. Though I'd like a bit more explanation as well.– muruCommented Aug 28, 2014 at 23:51\n* 1Well... the kernel actually manages the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface), which has to manage, well... the power interface and devices that consume energy (like the backlight). The ACPI acts as an interface to call and set backlight parameters in this case. Of course, there are many types of ACPI implementations (some standard, other not-so-standard) and this is clearly one that needs to be set manually (a not-so-standard ACPI implementation which requires \"different\" kernel extensions). That's what I understand at least... Commented Aug 29, 2014 at 3:40\n* Thanks for all your inputs but the problem still persist. Here is the problem in detail. The brightness toggle actually works but it doesn't have any effect on the display, that is it doesn't dim or increase its just there. Like my windows 8.1 when i had the same problem i just installed an AMD Graphics driver and then it worked but am not sure about ubuntu. And i have tried editing the grub with the settings you guys posted above but still no solution. Commented Aug 29, 2014 at 12:48\n* Just tested it on HP 655 with Xubuntu 16.04.3 with kernel 4.13. Doesn't work.– TiGRCommented Feb 17, 2018 at 12:50",

Commented Sep 26, 2015 at 10:34\n\n## 2 Answers\n\nI am guessing this was a problem with a k400 or k400r wireless keyboard (or some other logitech equivalent). If so I finally found and answer\n\nFn + Right Click -> Enables/Disables Gestures. Fn + Left Click -> Enables/Disables Tap to click.\n\nSorry for digging up such an old thread, but I have hit this question on AskUbuntu many times while trying to solve this problem over the years, so thought I would at east record the answer for myself.\n\n* The problem with your answer is that you have to do the trick each time you turn the device on to disable edge gestures of K400r.– jarnoCommented Nov 12, 2022 at 20:50\n* K400 does not have edge gestures, but K400r does: support.logi.com/hc/en-us/articles/360023253174– jarnoCommented Nov 12, 2022 at 21:41\nLogitech K400r sends Win/Super + C shortcut when you swipe from the right edge of the touchpad to left, when edge gestures are enabled (see the other answer). So you could possibly override the binding of that particular keyboard shortcut to another command, like `sh -c :` that does nothing but waste some resources for a short time. Or maybe you could even just remove that keybinding. The method for those depends on the desktop environment you use, but I don't go into more details in this answer. You may find an answer on how it can be done in Unity elsewhere.\nK400r has also some other edge gestures possibly issuing other keyboard shortcuts, but I don't know which shortcuts it could issue. See here for the edge gestures: https://www.logitech.com/assets/42364/8/k400-quick-start-guide.pdf",

I notice that my systemd service is running both ExecStart and ExecStop commands sequentially when I run \"systemctl start minecraft.service\". I have verified this from the output from the tmux console and the systemd status as seen below. So it is properly calling the mc_server.sh script, but I can't get it to stop calling the \"ExecStop\" command. I've tried removing the Type= setting (making it simple by default), directly changing Type to simple, but none of these seem to fix the problem.\n\nOriginal question:\n\nI recently upgraded to 18.04.1 and am having trouble getting my Minecraft systemd service working again. I did a clean install of 18.04 from 16.04. This service was working properly on 16.04, but now it doesn't seem to work. When I run \"systemctl start minecraft.service\" it seems to run the ExecStart script and the ExecStop script together based on the status output below, but I do not see any output from the scripts in my tmux console that it should be running through. If I call the startup script manually, it works fine, so something is wrong in the systemd service.\n\nThe service is set to run as the minecraft user under minecraft group. Everything in /srv/minecraft is owned by minecraft user/group. The minecraft.service file is owned by root. All of this is the same as it was in 16.04 when it was working. Please let me know if you have any ideas to get it running again!

Sample snippet is here,\n\n```\n[Added Associations]\n    application/excel=planmaker-free18.desktop;\n    application/mspowerpoint=presentations-free18.desktop;\n    application/msword=textmaker-free18.desktop;\n    application/ppt=presentations-free18.desktop;\n\n   [Default Applications]\n   text/html=google-chrome.desktop\n   text/x-arduino=arduino-arduinoide.desktop\n```\n\nYou have to first add new association it to `[Added Associations]` section and then add to `[Default Applications]` section to make default. For your type in question add `application/x-sharedlib=some-application.desktop` in both sections. Then save the file and try to open. May be you want to restart the nautilus.If you want to make edits globally edit file in `/usr/share/application/default.list` \n\n* I'm aware of\n `mimeapps.list`.

    "content": "# \n\nDate: \nCategories: \nTags: \n\nI get the following error while installing `glib`.\n\n```\nERROR:thread.c:147:test_thread4: assertion failed: (thread == NULL).\n```\n\nWhat is the issue and how can I fix it?\n\nI get the following error while installing `glib`.\n\n```\nERROR:thread.c:147:test_thread4: assertion failed: (thread == NULL).\n```\n\nWhat is the issue and how can I fix it?\n\nRemember that `make check` in glib comes in last. `make check` depends on the  desktop-file-utils-0.20, which in turn depend on an installed glib, so that one should make sure that the desktop-file-utils are installed, working and at a correct version before running `make check`. The canonical way would be to first install the new glibc, then desktop-file-utils, and then, at the very end, do `make check`.\nIn general, an error during check is a reason to worry, at least in a professional setting. Failure of a test may mean that some particular condition can bring the system to its knees, even if the system runs fine 99.99% of the time.\n\nIn this particular case, you can directly look into the source code of glib to understand what is happening. Here is the relevant function:\n\n```\n/* test that thread creation fails as expected,\n * by setting RLIMIT_NPROC ridiculously low\n */\nstatic void\ntest_thread4 (void)\n{\n#ifdef HAVE_PRLIMIT\n  struct rlimit ol, nl;\n  GThread *thread;\n  GError *error;\n  gint ret;\n\n  getrlimit (RLIMIT_NPROC, &nl);\n  nl.rlim_cur = 1;\n\n  if ((ret = prlimit (getpid(), RLIMIT_NPROC, &nl, &ol)) != 0)\n    g_error (\"prlimit failed: %s\\n\", g_strerror (ret));\n\n  error = NULL;\n  thread = g_thread_try_new (\"a\", thread1_func, NULL, &error);\n  g_assert (thread == NULL);\n  g_assert_error (error, G_THREAD_ERROR, G_THREAD_ERROR_AGAIN);\n  g_error_free (error);\n\n  if ((ret = prlimit (getpid (), RLIMIT_NPROC, &ol, NULL)) != 0)\n    g_error (\"resetting RLIMIT_NPROC failed: %s\\n\", g_strerror (ret));\n#endif\n}\n```\n\nThe error occurs ad the line\n\n `g_assert( thread == NULL ) ;` The test function changes the RLIMIT_PROC to a value of 1 ( `nl.rlim_cur=1`, which limits the number of threads the current process can have). With that setting, creation of a new thread ( `g_thread_try_new()` call) should fail and return `NULL`. For some reason, this does not happen.\nEither there is a bug in the test suite, or a problem with glibc, or there was a problem correctly building glibc. In any case, incorrect return values from thread management library calls would make me very nervous.",

Using the `lsusb` command I can't find Fingerprint Device, and it's even showing `no device found` in fprintd-enroll.\nI have built-in fingerprint reader in my touchpad.\n\n## 4 Answers\n\nIs your device on this list? https://fprint.freedesktop.org/supported-devices.html\n\nI see a lot of elantech devices on the list that are fprintd-enroll supported.\n\nOther options instead of fprint look like fingerprint-gui https://launchpad.net/~fingerprint/+archive/ubuntu/fingerprint-gui\n\nWhich supports these devices: https://fprint.freedesktop.org/supported-devices.html\n\nOr thinkfinger which is only think pads: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Integrated_Fingerprint_Reader#Software_support\n\nI have a Lenovo L380 and am still looking for a package that supports my Synaptics fingerprint reader. I'm kind of a newbie myself so I'm still learning things but that is where I would start looking.\n\n* 1If you can get lsusb to list your fingerprint you may be able to add a driver request to fdprint here: gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/… Commented Nov 2, 2019 at 0:06\n* My Ubuntu not Even Showing that there is fingerprint reader in my Laptop... When i use lsusb in terminal it only shows about USB and other devices but Not Fingerprint. Commented Nov 2, 2019 at 19:01\n* Broadcom fingerprint readers (e.g. used in some Dell laptops, such as Latitude 7300) don't seem to be well supported yet by fprint. I filed another request there: gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/issues/221– mfgCommented Dec 28, 2019 at 12:48\n\nMy Ubuntu not Even Showing that there is fingerprint reader in my Laptop... When i use lsusb in terminal it only shows about USB and other devices but Not Fingerprint.\n\nAs Lucas suggests, check if your device is supported. If not, it might be under development at the fprintd project. You kernel might not show a fingerprint device, you could try a newer kernel to see if there is a difference.\n\nTo identify your device, check for any device ID in the lsusb output that has no name behind it.\n\nMine shows: Bus 001 Device 003: ID 27c6:538c Shenzhen Goodix Technology Co.,Ltd. Fingerprint Reader\n\nIt's showing the device but it does't work in fprintd-enroll either because no driver is loaded. If your device starts with 27c6 it's likely a Goodix too.\n\nCheck with that at the project page if a driver might be under development: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/issues?scope=all&utf8=%E2%9C%93&state=opened&search=27c6 and if possible try to help out in any way.\n\nWith a bit of luck a driver may be coming from Dell, but that's not certain. A Goodix device is apparently in the Dell Precision 5530 and they support Linux on it, but it might be the model without that ( like in previous versions).\n\nThis suggests: https://certification.ubuntu.com/catalog/component/27c6:538c for example for this one: https://certification.ubuntu.com/hardware/201807-26295 that the mentioned fingerprint reader is supported by the 4.15 oem kernel.\n\nYou could try to build it from: https://code.launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux-oem/+git/bionic/+ref/oem or add the Dell repo to find the Dell shipped oem kernel.\n\nI hope that helps!\n\nUpdate 2020\n\nIf you need an official package, Upgrade to ubuntu 20.10, Fingerprint is now supported in the latest version Here",

Furthermore by using a sparse file on the web server we have tested that it's definitely the server. As the speed on the loopback adapter with the sparse file is around 250MB/s and the speed differs per driver we think it is definitely the network card.\n\nAlso peculiar is the ping as it equals 138ms to the router/other pcs in the local network. But this might be explained by the fact of the latency of the network card (set at 64ms during startup..).\n\nRunning Ubuntu Server 12.04.2 LTS\n\n```\nLinux Klootzak 3.5.0-27-generic #46~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 26 19:33:56 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux\n\nr8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded\nr8169 0000:07:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0003)\nr8169 0000:07:00.0: (unregistered net_device): not PCI Express\nr8169 0000:07:00.0: setting latency timer to 64\n```",
