<p>I am trying to get my code running using Python3 and PyQt4. When I do this:</p> <pre><code>gruszczy@gruszczy-laptop:~/Programy/fathom/tools$ python3.1 fathomqt.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "fathomqt.py", line 5, in &lt;module&gt; from PyQt4.QtCore import (QFileSystemModel, QDir, SIGNAL, Qt) ImportError: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/sip.so: undefined symbol: PyUnicodeUCS4_CompareWithASCIIString </code></pre> <p>I have installed Sip and PyQt4 by hand in both <code>/usr/lib/python3/dist-utils</code> and <code>/usr/lib/python3.1/dist-packages</code>, but neither helped.</p> <p>I have <code>libpython3.1</code> as well as <code>python3.1-dev</code> and both packages for <code>3.2</code> either. What am I missing?</p> <p>I am using <code>Natty</code> beta, but I don't believe this is a problem, since it's now quite stable on my machine.</p>

<p>On my laptop (Toshiba Portege R705) the <code>Mod4+P</code> key combination toggles between different display modes: single monitor, mirror display, and extended display. I would like to disable this binding, because it can be annoying when pressed by accident. Moreover, there is already the <code>Fn+F5</code> hardware key with the same functionality, so the binding probably comes from software. Unfortunatelly, I cannot find anything related in the Keyboard Shortcuts.</p>

<p>I'm looking for netbooks that work properly with Ubuntu, i.e. don't have wireless problems, graphics problems, touchpad problems etc. Ideally these would be netbooks that have come out recently, and first-hand experience is best, though links to detailed information are okay as well. Resources like <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/" rel="nofollow">Ubuntu-certified hardware</a> seem quite out of date--I'm looking for recent ubuntu-friendly netbooks.</p>

<p>I am a heavy Vim user and one of the first things I do when I start working on a clean ubuntu installation is to swap the caps lock and esc keys to reduce hand movements over the keyboard.</p> <p>So far I have been doing it through the keyboard configuration dialog, but I am now writting a set of scripts that will set Ubuntu up the way I like and I have not been able to find a <em>scriptable</em> or programmable way to change this configuration item.</p> <p>I am not looking for options that swap the keys at any other level than gnome itself, so what I am looking for is for a way to script this change and have it appear in the keyboard configuration that I used to use, should I decide to revert it manually in the future.</p>

<p>Could anyone help me with configuring any Linux softphones for use with SIP betamax services? In Windows, I was using 12voip.com to make calls and send SMS. However I have failed to correctly configure Linphone and Ekiga so far. All the instructions in Internet seem to relate to old versions of Ekiga. I have also tried the original 12voip (Betamax) client with Wine, it installs, runs but fails to log in. Thanks, guys!</p> <p>@Administrators: Please, replace the 'software-recommendation' with some reasonable tags (e.g. betamax, sip, softphone) to this question. I cannot create tags yet.</p>

I've already asked if that's possible and it does appear that's the case.</p> <p>My problem is on loading the panels, I get a ton of errors from very default applets like the Window list, Notification Area and Clock. Upon further investigation, I don't appear to be able to even add these types of applet. They're missing from the Add to Panel dialogue.</p> <h2>Is there a package I need to install to get these applets back?</h2> <p>Here's what I see on boot:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/UFzlY.png" alt="Argl" /></p>

Until I've got everything back this post is a work in progress.</p>\n\n<p>First you have to locate your <code>bonobo-activation-config</code> file:</p>\n\n<pre><code># locate bonobo-activation-config\n/etc/bonobo-activation/bonobo-activation-config.xml\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Then we find where all the applets' bonobo-server-item-configuration files are:</p>\n\n<pre><code># locate bonobo/server | grep GNOME\n/usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_BrightnessApplet.server\n/usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_DictionaryApplet.server\n/usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_GtikApplet.server\n/usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_InhibitApplet.server\n/usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_Magnifier.server\n/usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_Moniker_std.server\n/usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_SeahorseApplet.server\n/usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_TSClientApplet.server\n/usr/local/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_ClockApplet_Factory.server\n/usr/local/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_FishApplet_Factory.server\n/usr/local/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_NotificationAreaApplet.server\n/usr/local/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_Wncklet_Factory.server\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Then we put the two together, creating new xml <code>&lt;items&gt;</code> in the <code>bonobo-activation-config.xml</code>. We only need the common path so there are only two things to carry. Here's my finished file:</p>\n\n<pre><code>&lt;?xml version=\"1.0\"?&gt;\n\n&lt;oafconfig&gt;\n\n&lt;searchpath&gt;\n &lt;item&gt;/usr/lib/bonobo/servers&lt;/item&gt;\n &lt;item&gt;/usr/local/lib/bonobo/servers&lt;/item&gt;\n&lt;/searchpath&gt;\n\n&lt;/oafconfig&gt;\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>After a restart everything but <code>GNOME_ClockApplet</code> has loaded back up.</p>\n\n<p>More on this when I've fixed it.</p>\n", "commentCount": "1", "comments": [ { "creationDate": "2011-05-07T01:37:13.363", "id": "44776", "postId": "37845", "score": "0", "text": "I had this exact same problem.

<p>I'm suffering from the issue that xine is always starting up muted so that I have to manually increase the volume. I tried all options (with <em>Configuration experience level</em> set to maximum). The <em>startup audio volume</em> is set to 60% and tried with <em>restore volume level at startup</em> both enabled and disabled as well as all other settings I could find.</p> <p>This started already quite a while ago, I think with Ubuntu 8.04 and seems to be caused by Pulseaudio. Removing <code>~/.pulse</code> helps and xine starts up non-muted once but further starts are muted again after the directory is recreated. It links to the <code>/tmp</code> folder which is a <code>tmpfs</code> RAM disk, so it is deleted at every reboot, but this doesn't </p> <p>This happens on two installations on quite different computers (Acer Aspire 7720G Laptop and Dell Omniplex 745). I'm using the normal xine v0.99.6 and running Ubuntu 10.10 64bit. I tried googling it several times in the last two years but never found anything relevant. I thought it might be caused by an old wrongly updated pulseaudio config file, but it also happens with a fresh installation. The home directory is the same, but I deleted all pulseaudio related user config files I could find and this didn't changed anything.</p> <p>Deleting <code>~/.xine</code> doesn't change anything apart of the Xine config window popping up at the first start afterwards. Running <code>pulseaudio -k</code> will make xine start officially muted (Volume at 0%) but with normal sound!</p>

<p>I have problem with Sitecom Wireless Network USB Micro Adapter 300N WL-364. I use Ubuntu 10.10 64bit and it does not recognize any drivers for this model. What I did so far:</p> <ul> <li>used ndiswrapper to install drivers from windows'</li> <li>updated the kernel</li> </ul> <p>In ndiswrapper I have some improvements. At least ubuntu recognize the adapter. But when it comes to scan, it just freezed and I had to restart PC.</p> <p>How can I solve my problem?</p> <p>Thank you</p>

<p>I have four partitions on my hard-drive: C, E, F and G. Partitions C and G are NTFS and I installed Ubuntu using Wubi through Windows 7. Probably I installed it on the partition G, where Windows 7 is also installed. I guess I created a new partition within G for Ubuntu and it was a minimum 3.5 GB installation.</p> <p>From Ubuntu, I want to check on which partition I installed it and how much space is left. How to do this? I also want to install any Ubuntu package that can resize the partition by taking the free space from another partition.</p>

I hope there’s a work around for this... this is what is says when I try enable my second monitor.</p> <p><strong>The selected configuration for displays could not be applied</strong> required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(2646, 1024), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(1366,1366)</p>

<p>Having asked about touchpad not only <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/18576/vostro-3400-touchpad-multiple-gesture-and-two-finger-scrolling-not-working">once</a> but <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/33877/two-finger-scrolling-not-working">twice</a>. I have again come back to same topic :D. Basically I have a working two finger scrolling after adding the following line in /etc/profile after I enabled two finger scrolling in touchpad section of mouse.</p> <pre><code>xinput set-int-prop &quot;SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad&quot; &quot;Synaptics Two-Finger Pressure&quot; 32 40 </code></pre> <p>But my touchpad sensitivity quite irritates me as it jumps around sometimes and also behaves scrolling as well as right click on single finger sometimes. Anyone can suggest me any tips to minimize this if not avoid ? Anyone know if I could use pinch zoom(Finally got the right term:)) as my touchpad says it supports such activity as well?</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>So I've got <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/35905/where-have-my-panel-applets-gone-in-natty">an issue with Natty's Gnome 2 panels</a>. Short story: most of the panel applets are either missing or crashing out. Something's unhappy and I can't work out what or why.</p> <h3>So how do you get debugging information from a gnome-panel and its applets?</h3> <p>Is there a log file somewhere, or a method of starting it so that it does leave a log file?</p>

<p>This is a question in general. Sometimes when using Natty, the interface freezes like the keyboard works but the mouse does respond. In which case pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 puts me at the terminal. However I do not know how to load the GUI and Unity and continue using Ubuntu. At present I just shutdown properly and restart.</p> <p>I have no expertise in this regard, which is probably why some of the terms I use could be wrong. Please correct me if necessary.</p> <p><strong>How do I restart the Xserver or GUI(Gnome and Unity) when I press Ctrl+Alt+F1?</strong> </p>

<p>Following on from an <a href="https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/11657/how-can-i-de-fragment-a-drive-using-ubuntu">excellent answer</a> provided by user Gilles, I'd like to ask whether there's a file system particularly well-suited for fairly heavy torrent use.</p> <p>Soon I'll be setting up an Ubuntu box with:</p> <ul> <li>/ [ext4]</li> <li>/home [ext4]</li> <li>/media/data [ext4]</li> <li>/media/torrents [?]</li> </ul> <p>Normally I'd make the /media/torrents partition ext4 without considering other options. However, in light of the information linked to above, perhaps there's a better alternative.</p> <p>The proposed /media/torrents partition will be read and written to 24/7 but will only ever reach ~85% of the partition's capacity.</p>

I'd be glad if you want to answer my question here or to ferradellia@gmail.com. I love ubuntu since 3 days ago when I migrated a new operating system to linux and I think Ubuntu is the best for beginners like me. But I have to learn more about linux cuz this one is so different and more fun than Windows. Thx...Thx!</p>

<p>I've been wanting to make us of a ramdisk on my Ubuntu system for a while, and have done a bit of reading online. Most of the advice centres around using /dev/shm to move files into RAM.</p> <p>I wanted to try this out so I copied six 1GB files to /dev/shm, but according to gnome-system-monitor my RAM usage did not budge above 1.4GB. Is this how /dev/shm operates, or is there something else I need to do/use to ensure that files are stored in RAM and not on the HDD.</p> <p>The reason I'm after the ramdisk is to speed up the analyses I run on this machine. Currently it uses at most about 1.6GB of the 24GB installed in the machine, and all that extra RAM doing nothing seems a bit of a shame.</p>

I burned a start-up Ubuntu disc and I am trying to install it.</p> <p>For some strange reasons ubuntu installer mounts this drive as /cdrom and I can't go on with the instalation because 'It cannot be unmounted" and "partition table cannot be altered"</p> <p>I don't want to repartition the HDD neither to format anything. The only changes I introduced to the partition table within the installer was to set up mounting points.</p> <p>So how to install Ubuntu in this case? I've tried a lot of different things, e.g. it doesn't help to move the HDD to another controller. So even if /dev/sda is a clean new HDD and /dev/sdb is the HDD of interest, the stupid installer still mounts it (now /dev/sdb) </p> <p>So I did another experiment: I put a third HDD into the machine. Now it looks as follows:</p> <ul> <li>/dev/sda1 - 1TB (irrelevant HDD with ext3 partition)</li> <li>/dev/sdb1 - 1TB with another Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit installation</li> <li>/dev/sdc1 - 1TB THE HARD DRIVE, where Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit used to be installed</li> </ul> <p>Unfortunately even now the installer says "your installation medium is /dev/sdc1" WHY? Why there but neither on /dev/sda1 nor on /dev/sdb2???</p> <p>Although now I have 3 HDDs, I can't play too much with them, because:</p> <ul> <li>/dev/sdb1 holds my backup of /dev/sda1</li> <li>/dev/sdc1 is borrowed from another machine and I don't want to have yet another problem with ubuntu installation (when I would mess up /dev/sdc1)</li> </ul> <p>I also need to keep partition table on the target drive because there are other partitions there with users' data</p>

<p>I use alarms attached to events in my Evolution calendar. With Unity, I get the usual notification at the appropriate time, but unlike in 10.10 or previous versions, there is no persistent reminder of the event (no 'alarm clock' icon in the system tray). What can I do to get a persistent reminder of the event? Something needs to turn blue in that panel! (In my opinion, that should be the date and time.) If someone could suggest any easy way of setting a persistent visual reminder, that would be great. </p>

<p>My Ubuntu VM is configured with a 1 terabyte VHD. The physical machine uses a RAID-5 8-disk hard drive. When I log in to the Ubuntu VM, it only shows about 1/8 of the storage the VHD is configured for. I'm using Hyper-V to create the VM. I'm thinking it has to do with RAID-5, since there are 8 disks and I am seeing 1/8 of the capacity. Is there anyway to check to be sure it isn't just unpartioned and not available?? I've been trying to figure this out for three days!</p> <pre><code>eric@slash:~$ discus Mount Total Used Avail / 120.36 GB 949.3 MB 119.43 GB /sys 0 KB 0 KB 0 KB Connections 0 KB 0 KB 0 KB +rnel/debug 0 KB 0 KB 0 KB +l/security 0 KB 0 KB 0 KB /dev 3.90 GB 152 KB 3.90 GB /dev/shm 3.90 GB 0 KB 3.90 GB /var/run 3.90 GB 44 KB 3.90 GB /var/lock 3.90 GB 0 KB 3.90 GB +ad/debugfs 120.36 GB 949.3 MB 119.43 GB </code></pre>

<p>When I start Ubuntu (10.04), the desktop starts and has windows without their window chrome (e.g. they don't have close, minimize, or maximize buttons). When I click on the "show desktop" icon, the following message pops up:</p> <blockquote> <p>Your window manager does not support the show desktop button, or you are not running a window manager.</p> </blockquote> <p>I can fix this by going to appearance and toggling the visual effects levels to anything different than what they were on.</p> <p>Based on the behavior and the message, I expect that the window manager is simply not starting correctly when I boot up. What is the best way to make it do so?</p> <p>Potentially applicable log (from log viewer):</p> <pre><code>Apr 20 17:46:09 WinterMute acpid: 1 client rule loaded Apr 20 17:46:09 WinterMute acpid: client connected from 14964[0:0] Apr 20 17:46:09 WinterMute acpid: 1 client rule loaded Apr 20 17:46:11 WinterMute gdm-simple-greeter[15041]: Gtk-WARNING: /build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.20.1/gtk/gtkwidget.c:5636: widget not within a GtkWindow Apr 20 17:46:18 WinterMute gdm-session-worker[15043]: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL: g_value_get_boolean: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_BOOLEAN (value)' failed Apr 20 17:46:19 WinterMute gnome-session[15073]: WARNING: Could not parse desktop file /home/tchalvak/.config/autostart/xfconf-migration-4.6.desktop: Key file does not have key 'Name' Apr 20 17:46:19 WinterMute gnome-session[15073]: WARNING: could not read /home/tchalvak/.config/autostart/xfconf-migration-4.6.desktop Apr 20 17:46:19 WinterMute gnome-session[15073]: WARNING: Could not launch application '10b602e69f41694b93125011878472406000000044180035.desktop': Unable to start application: Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/compiz.real" (No such file or directory) Apr 20 17:46:19 WinterMute gnome-session[15073]: WARNING: Could not launch application 'ubuntuone-client-applet.desktop': Unable to start application: Failed to execute child process "ubuntuone-client-applet" (No such file or directory) Apr 20 17:46:19 WinterMute gnome-session[15073]: WARNING: Could not launch application '10996e0d149c5579e7125021326532307300000045290042.desktop': Unable to start application: Failed to execute child process "hamster-applet" (No such file or directory) Apr 20 17:46:20 WinterMute gnome-session[15073]: WARNING: Could not launch application '10996e0d149c5579e712502132692274200000045290043.desktop': Unable to start application: Failed to execute child process "fast-user-switch-applet" (No such file or directory) Apr 20 17:47:23 WinterMute AptDaemon: INFO: Initializing daemon </code></pre>

<p>I am running a Natty Beta 2 LiveCD and I realized that by default I booted right into one of the Unity desktop environments. I then looked into the additional drivers app to find that I am not running the usual ATI proprietary graphics driver ubuntu needs to run at full capacity. Based on that I would assume that I am running 2d but I don't know, how do I find that out for myself?</p>

<p>Never had a problem with Maverick, always very fast. I upgrade to Natty and the graphics seem to be very lagged. CPU, load, and memory usage is low, all graphics are choppy and lagged though. I have the proprietary driver installed and everything.</p> <p>Alt-Tabbing takes 3-5 seconds for the dialog to popup, zooming in with compiz zoom makes things very slow. I never had any of these problems with 10.10</p>
