35183 | 1 | null | 2011-04-15T05:21:06.010 | 6 | 2400 | <p>I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T61, which uses a Trackpoint. Every time I reinstall Ubuntu, the default sensitivity settings are much too low (it feels like I really have to <strong>push</strong> to move the cursor).</p>
<p>I've been changing this manually for quite a few releases now, creating startup scripts to automatically change obscure configuration files as denoted at ThinkWiki.org. About a year ago, I found <a href="http://live.gnome.org/GPointingDeviceSettings" rel="noreferrer">gpointing-device-settings</a>, which looked like the answer to my prayers (and in some ways it is). Unfortunately, despite the description and <a href="http://live.gnome.org/GPointingDeviceSettings?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=GPointingDeviceSettings_TrackPoint.png" rel="noreferrer">pictures</a> on the gnome.org page, I cannot use this GUI to control the Trackpoint sensitivity (it's not an option).</p>
<p>I've also heard of configure-trackpoint, but last I tried (a year ago) it didn't save your sensitivity settings (you need to make a startup script). I really dislike opening a Terminal and/or creating scripts to set my Trackpoint mouse sensitivity. Is there any way around all this using a GUI? It feels like there should be.</p>

<pre><code>/dev/sda
/dev/sda1 Primary ext4 /boot 499 MB
/dev/sda2 Primary ext4 / 19999 MB
/dev/sda3 Primary swap 5999 MB
/dev/sda5 Logical ext4 /home 473606 MB
</code></pre>
<p>Should I add separate partitions for /usr, /var, or any others? And does it matter what order I create them? I seem to remember reading a long time ago that your swap partition should always be at the end of your disk.</p>
<p>I'm fairly new at this, but I love Ubuntu.</p>

<p>I want him to be able to start the program, give some basic information and be able to just leave the program to run.</p>
<p>The thing is, to do this I need the python file to send the password to the CL when requested for sudo commands.</p>
<p>I tried doing this for updating the Ubuntu Server:</p>
<pre><code>os.system('sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade')
os.system(password)
</code></pre>
<p>After having the program request the password with this:</p>
<pre><code>password=input('Please Enter Your Password')
</code></pre>
<p>But it didn't work. The CL just sits there waiting for the user to enter the password manually. Is ther anyway to get around this?</p>

However today I got a System Freeze...Everything was frozen...keyboards did not respond, clicking everywhere did not work and the only way was to hard reboot the system.</p>
<p>Scenario 1: I was playing supertuxkaart in full screen and suddenly it froze...only a hard reset was the solution. (Did not try it again though)</p>
<p>Scenario 2: Had unity running for nearly 4 hours, worked on documents, listening to music and then all of a sudden it froze.</p>
<p>This system freeze is not conventional like after you login there is no unity or it froze after 2-3 mins of login.. </p>
<p>However <strong>how can I report this to launchpad since I don't know what caused the freeze and also the system couldn't generate any bug reports since I did a hard reboot?</strong></p>

35253 | 1 | null | 2011-04-15T13:52:00.523 | 3 | 2552 | <p>I have a new Lenovo t520 with 8gb memory and a i7 cpu. It's the first time I 'really' install Ubuntu on a pc. I have about six months of experience with Ubuntu as a guest OS on Windows in a VM.</p>
<p>Now what is really annoying me is how slow the visuals are on my laptop. Mostly noticeable when I have to resize or move a window. Also when scrolling text in vim/browsers it's not really as smooth as I would like it.</p>
<p>I read that Lenovo is using Optimus drivers for their new laptops and that these aren't supported. So I was wondering could using the integrated Intel gpu be the problem?</p>
<p>The CPU I have is the Core™ i7-2620M (2.70GHz, 4MB L3, 1333MHz FSB). I have tried to enable desktop effects but that didn't work.</p>

I want to edit them and upload them as fast as possible to youtube, in the best quality available.</p>
<p>Currently i'm using Kdenlive, that gives me a relative good output in .mpeg in HD 1280X720, but the rendering takes sometimes 4-5 hours for a 15 min clip edited project.</p>
<p>Is there a better way?

Kdenlive is a perfectly respectable editor, if you were looking to try out alternatives then you could also try cinelerra or PiTiVi. Kino is useful for simple edits but can quickly get out of its depth.</p>\n\n<p>The problem is that mp4 is a compressed format (hence it fits on the camera smart card), but that makes it harder to edit because your editing program has to do the work of decoding it. What you can do is convert your video file to a raw format like a .dv file or a DV encoded .avi which will make the rendering and editing much faster. The downsides however are that:</p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>raw video takes up huge amounts of space, expect an hour of SD video to be over 10GB, I don't know how big it will be for HD but its going to be bigger, and some programs don't like editing files that large.</li>\n<li>you have to spend the extra time before and after editing, encoding the files. i.e. turning them from mp4 to raw, editing and then back from raw to mp4.</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>My main advice would be to try the approach above and play around with other formats, but I don't know how much time you'll actually save. While a 4-5 hour render is quite a while, once you take into account the time to encode at each and the huge increase in disk space needed to work with the files you might decide its not worth it.</p>\n",

My concern is that, with my previous unfortunate experience with the 10.10 UNE version of Unity, my netbook won't be able to smoothly run Unity.</p>
<p>My computer specs are:
CPU: 1.66GHz Intel Atom
Memory: 1GB DDR2, 667MHz
Graphics: Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3150</p>
<p>I am currently using Unity 2D on Maverick via the PPA, but I'm not very productive with window managers apart from Compiz. I'm also aware that the Compiz Unity won't be backported to Maverick, which is understandable, but still a shame.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

35289 | 1 | 35344 | 2011-04-15T17:14:24.587 | 9 | 3505 | <p>This is more of a how to use command line instruction question more than how to add items to the Unity notification panel.</p>
<p>I have to have a one line CLI to add a new item to com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist.</p>
<p>Standard procedure for doing so is:</p>
<pre><code>sudo gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist
</code></pre>
<p>We get </p>
<pre><code>['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Wine', 'Skype']
</code></pre>
<p>Then we do the second command </p>
<pre><code>sudo gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Wine', 'Skype', 'shutter']"
</code></pre>
<p>While that's great and all, it requires people to copy and paste the result from the first line, and for a script i am writing I want to do it in one command.</p>
<p>So far this is what I have:</p>
<pre><code>sudo gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist | gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist | sed -e "s/']$/,'shutter']/" | awk 'NF{print "\"" $0 "\""}'
</code></pre>
<p>I think I am missing something. </p>
<p>Firstly, I am not sure if I am piping the string into gsettings set function correctly.
Secondly, while I think I am parsing the output from gsettings get function correctly, I wouldn't figure out a way to add the " " around the modified result using sed, so I had to pipe another awk command into this mess.</p>
<p>Thanks to anyone that helps.</p>

else:

<p>But there is one thing that bugs me, see, i have 2 HDD's ,a 320GB one with Windows 7, and the other, a 500GB HDD with Ubuntu 10.10. </p>
<p>I have partitioned the 500GB HDD, and contains a NTFS partition, and a EXT4 plus the Swap partitions.</p>
<p>The 320GB is not partitioned, as it only has Windows 7.</p>
<p>Since i installed Wubi on Windows 7, when i have my Ubuntu drive connected, Wubi won't boot the installation, giving me a "no wubdir" error.</p>
<p>However, if i phisically unplug the Ubuntu drive, then Wubi boots just fine.</p>
<p>So, how is the Ubuntu drive interfering with Wubi, to the extent of Wubi not even working when the drive is plugged?.</p>

In any event, wubildr.mbr will hang whenever it encounters an ext4 partition.\nThe way it works is to search each partition (in BIOS order) for the file /wubildr (i.e. wubildr in the root of the partition). If it gets to the ext4 partition before it finds /wubildr, it will hang. So the solution is to copy /wubildr from your 320GB drive to the ntfs partitions on the 500GB drive, assuming it falls before the ext4 one - if not, the only way would be to add an entry to your other Ubuntu so that you can boot the Wubi install from there.</p>\n",

However, I found out that now I have 3 partitions in my harddisk. One is the ext4 /dev/sda1 which is the system file partition. However, I noticed that I have another partition called extended /dev/sda2 3.08G, and the linux-swap /dev/sda5 is under the extended partition as shown in gparted. May I know is the ubuntu installed correctly? I can only access to my main system partition, and have lost 6G. My harddisk is 80G and ram 1.5G. Thanks.</p>

<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I have just upgraded to the 11.04 Ubuntu beta and am trying to get used to Unity. Seems good so far, but I really miss having the Gnome process monitor at the top panel. (Really useful when running long compilations/testing since it is usually enough to glance at it to see if everything is going as it should.)</p>
<p>Is there any substitute in Unity?</p>

</code></pre>
<p>and Firefox's "Edit/Preferences/Privacy/remove individual cookies"
seems to agree. </p>
<p>However, when I look at cookies.sql, some cookies above don't show up: </p>
<pre><code>cp ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxxx.default/cookies.sqlite /tmp && \
echo "SELECT name FROM moz_cookies;" | sqlite3 /tmp/cookies.sqlite |\
sort | uniq
</code></pre>
<p>(note that I must "cp" since the original db is locked by Firefox). </p>
<p>The result's ugly + unhelpful, but I specifically noted these values
do NOT appear even though I'd expect them to: </p>
<ul>
<li>JSESSIONID (probably the most important one) </li>
<li>homeURL </li>
<li>showDmaHelp </li>
<li>possibly others </li>
</ul>
<p>How can I find these "hidden" cookies? I'm writing a perl/curl script
to download data, but it doesn't work w/o the JSESSIONID cookie (and
handcopying from Firebug isn't automatic enough, plus JSESSIONID
changes often) </p>
<p>EDIT (too long/unwieldy for a comment): @Lekensteyn Thanks for the GM script! It doesn't update webappsstore.sqlite when I visit nadex.com and login, but it DOES update sessionstore.js, which contains:</p>
<pre><code>{"host":"www.nadex.com","value":"3x0LNpvGDHQq\
xls7FxbqtJ2pFlL0gSyk9YvBkPs09r4yvQyZDMWs!-1593496027!1301994507","path":"/price\
stream","name":"JSESSIONID"}
</code></pre>
<p>all on one line (in fact, the entire file is a single line).</p>
<p>However, I haven't yet checked to see if that has anything to do w/ the GM script, or is something that happens anyway. At the very least, it gives me a new place to dig.</p>

<p>I'm following the instructions at the following website to download and configure Hadoop on my computer.</p>

there is a box following “Add

Are you considering backup of entire machine, just userdata, perhaps app data, maybe mySQL data, etc?</p>\n\n<p>Linux admins commonly use tools like Rsync with combination or ssh, at times for added security to do file level backups. Of course, if you have a virtual environment, maybe you are backing up whole datastores.</p>\n\n<p>So, maybe the question is are you considering file-level, and if so entire OS, or just some data directories? For typical data directories rsync+ssh is really commonly seen. When it comes to mySQL, there are countless scripts on the internet to dump that data into a file, and then again, using rsync+ssh to transfer that data. I personally am a fan of NFS, and all data remains on NFS, which just happens to be backed by a SAN. I use what I preach. I work for Nexenta, and use our SAN solution for all data, and backups. Backups in my case are done on the SAN, simply using snapshots and cloning.</p>\n",

Catch 22, right? I'm debating setting up a VM to run the Windows usb creator, but would prefer not to have to install the accursed Not Operating System twice in one day.</p>

This is because, for example, you have reinstalled Ubuntu. Even though you set up a user with the same name during the reinstall and are logged in as that user, your UID is different, so the system regards you as a different user- not the one who owns the files. This is fixed by using the <code>chown</code> command. As with <code>chmod</code> usage is complex, so read up on it first.\n Probably there is also a way to get Nautilus or some other command-line program to change file ownership also, but I don't know it. </p>\n\n<p>BE VERY CAREFUL when messing about with file ownership and permissions.

<p>If this is the wrong forum I apologize. As I mentioned in another Question, I am new to Linux but will never go back to Windows!</p>
<p>The internal CD/DVD on my Dell Studio 15 laptop died (gee what a surprise!). So I purchased a Dell external CD/DVD W/R 8X optical drive. It is cool in that it connects via two USB's that consolidate to one connector to the retractable on the Drive......no power cord.</p>
<p>Anyway, when I am in Ubuntu I can see the drive. But when I am VB/Windows XP I can find it. Under Computer it only shows the internal 'dead' one. The friend who set this up for see up a number of 'outlets' but each time I press one I get 'connection not established'. </p>
<p>I can 'see' the two USB Flash drives in Windows/VB that I can easily access in Ubuntu.</p>
<p>What am I 'not seeing' (pardon the late night east coast humor). And thanks if anyone can help.</p>

<p>EDIT1: I used Wubi for the same.
I want to know which one of the two will solve my problem? creating a virtual disk or resizing root? Also is resizing root possible as the 4GB ext4 partition is already in a NTFS format Hard Drive partition.</p>
<p>At the time of installation I had allocated only 4GB of space to Ubuntu. I want to increase that size as I keep getting a low disk space notification. </p>
<p><em>I have surfed through a lot of similar questions but this is not a duplicate.</em></p>
<p><strong>Because I want to know a little about the file systems. In order to solve my problem,do I have to increase the size of root.disk? Or will it be solved by creating a virtual disk?</strong></p>
<p>Also I want to know the difference between creating a virtual disk and just increasing disk space of root.I'm new to Ubuntu so I don't know how the file systems function.</p>
<p>EDIT2:I have created a virtual disk of 10gb ,but I'm still getting the same notification.Is there anyway to install all further applications on the virtual disk I created?</p>

<p>I had been entered into Classic Mode. Sorry for my insufficient information.</p>
<p>At 10.10, the 'boxes' can be swapped and in appearance in black background and movable position, but now lost.</p>
<hr>
<p>When I was using Maverick 10.10, I could swap the windows, the boxes with windows' title, on the Window List at gnome panel. </p>
<p>However, after updating to Natty 11.04, this function is lost. </p>
<p>Now, the boxes sort according to the opening time ,but ,strangely, the sort rearranged after changes of the window's title. The rearrangement is not happen every time.</p>
<p>When I drag the boxes, pointer cursor with an icon appear but it is useless when I dropping it into anywhere , such as folders, panels, other boxes, and even trash. Neither programs nor nautilus will be triggered after the drop.</p>
<p>The preferences of mine is 'Never group windows'.</p>

</blockquote>
<p>I've signed up for the mobile plan. I've started with the free 2gb space. I've copied some mp3 files and directorioes into "Ubuntu One" directory.
After create some of the directories I copied (only directories), the agent simply stopped the sync. After 40 minutos of nothing, I've restarted it, and it resumed the directory creation. No files yet.
Disconnect and connect again, and it started to sync files. I leave it overnight, and it upload only 300mb before stop syncing again. I have to disconnect/connect again.
I have Ubuntu 10.10 and a fast connection (never had this problem with dropbox).</p>
<p>I think I won't go on after the trial month. I cannot even check what file is being uploaded, I have to navigate the slow web interface to figure it out, peeking directory thru directory. The config window doesn't even update the space used until I restart it. It's very annoying.</p>
<p>Do you have some pointer for me to improve the experience? So far is simply awful.
Regards,
Carlos</p>

<p>Is there some cli tool to convert aac files from the iTunes Store (no DRM) to mp3?</p>

<h2>MP3 to MP3</h2>
<p>I installed <code>libavcodec-unstripped-52</code> and get a little further.</p>
<p>When I try to encode MP3 files with it:
It says <code>[mp3 @ 0x997cde0]Header missing</code>.</p>
<p>lame also had problems since the tags are ID3v2, is it possible that the libmp3lame does not support that either?</p>
<p>Should I convert the tags or what can I do to get this working?</p>
<h2>AAC to MP3</h2>
<p>This went through, but there are no headers in the resulting MP3 file. How can I get the headers in there?</p>

35465 | 1 | 35473 | 2011-04-16T14:47:15.080 | 2 | 2955 | <p>I am currently running Ubuntu 11.04 beta 2 with unity on a laptop Dell XPS M1330.
My Dell M1330 has an Intel chipset and this is the result I get for running the
<code>lspci -nn | grep VGA</code> command:</p>
<p><code>00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) [8086:2a02] (rev 0c)</code></p>
<p>I have a 22" display at home, so I like to configure my laptop to have dual displays
(with the Monitor preference GUI tool). The way I use it is with an extended screen where each display (my laptop and my other 22" LCD each works with their native resolution). Everything works quite well except for a little annoyance which I was hoping someone can help me figure out.
Even though my LCD is configured to be on the left and my laptop on the right (that is how the two are set up on my desk), the launcher and top-right Ubuntu icon that brings up the Dash always appears on my laptop screen, when I would like it to appear on my left screen. I attached a picture to visualize this better.</p>
<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.<img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/bl2Rc.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p>
<p>BTW, I checked out this <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/9886/how-does-unity-work-in-multi-monitor-configurations">question</a>, and it doesn't really cover what I'm asking here.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
