<p>All of a sudden by theme was changed to how some old Ubuntu version looks like & then I was returned to my theme except all icons, and right click context menus, and how nautilius looks. I think only panels have the same look like before, all others have changed.</p>
<p>Title bar was gone too. I run compiz and I fixed it by running <code>gtk-window-decorator –replace</code></p>

<p>Under sysvinit, I could debug this kind of problem by running eg</p>

"body": "<p><strong>Drupal</strong> is a free and open-source content-management system, and it’s surprisingly flexible. You can use it for everything from a small blog to a major business or government site. It's a mildly tricky setup, since you basically have to build a LAMP server from scratch, but here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it.</p>\n\n<p>First, install Ubuntu into your machine of choice. Once Ubuntu is installed and updated, you will need to install and configure four pieces of software to create a LAMP server to support Drupal: the Apache web server, the MySQL database server, PHP , and the MySQL module for PHP.</p>\n\n<p>Begin with the Apache web server. To install Apache, open up a Terminal window (Applications, Accessories, Terminal), and type the following command (note that all Terminal commands are case-sensitive):</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo apt-get install apache2\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Follow the prompts to install Apache. Once the installation is finished, you can test that Apache is working by opening up Firefox and navigating to <code>http://localhost</code>. If you see the “it works!” web page, you have Apache up and running.</p>\n\n<p>Next, you’ll need to install MySQL. Return to the Terminal and type this command:</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.6\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>During the installation you be will asked to provide a root password for MySQL. Be sure to pick a strong password (a combination of lowercase, punctuation, and uppercase letters), since the root user has full access to all tables on all databases. For obvious reasons, you’ll want to remember this password, not least because we need it again in the following steps. MySQL is a big package, and depending on your connection and computer speed, it might take a while to install.</p>\n\n<p>Next, install PHP version 5:</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo apt-get install php5\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Then install the MySQL module for PHP:</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo apt-get install php5-mysql\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Install gd module for PHP:</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo apt-get install php5-gd\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Finally, download the Drupal software to your Downloads folder. You can obtain it from <a href=\"http://drupal.org/project/drupal\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">here on the drupal.org site</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Now that we’ve got our software installed and downloaded, we’ll need to configure it.</p>\n\n<p>First, you’ll probably need to add a line to your <code>/etc/apache2/apache2.conf</code> file. I’ve read differing things about this, but I have found in my own testing that Drupal would not function properly without it, since Apache did not properly interpret the PHP pages otherwise. To edit apache2.conf, use the following command:</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo -H gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>(Note that it’s a good idea to back up any system configuration file before editing it. You can do so quickly by using <code>sudo cp /etc/apache2/apache2.conf ~/Desktop</code> to save a copy to your Desktop. You can of course use vi or emacs or the editor of your choice, but most new users seem to prefer gedit)</p>\n\n<p>Once you are in gedit, add the following line to the end of the file:</p>\n\n<pre><code>AddType application/x-httpd-php.html\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Save the file and exit gedit. Restart Apache with this command, so it re-reads its configuration file:</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Now we’ll need to prepare MySQL for use with Drupal. First, you’ll need to run MySQL’s install script:</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo mysql_install_db\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>And then this command, to properly secure MySQL. Follow the default prompts to remove the testing database in MySQL:</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo mysql_secure_installation\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Once this is completed, log into the MySQL command-line client:</p>\n\n<pre><code>mysql -u root –p\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Enter your MySQL root user password from above, and you’ll find yourself at the MySQL> local client prompt. First, create a database for Drupal to use:</p>\n\n<pre><code>CREATE DATABASE drupal;\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>(Note that all commands entered in the MySQL local client must end with a semicolon to denote the end of the statement.)</p>\n\n<p>Once the database is created, you’ll need to create a database user for Drupal to use. While still in the MySQL command line client, type this:</p>\n\n<pre><code>CREATE USER drupaluser;\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Then create a password for your new user (note that your password will actually go within the quotation marks, and is case-sensitive):</p>\n\n<pre><code>SET PASSWORD FOR drupaluser = PASSWORD(“password”);\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Now that you’ve got your Drupal database and your Drupal database user, you’ll need to grant the user all permissions on the database (again, the password goes within the quotation marks, and is case sensitive):</p>\n\n<pre><code>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON drupal.* TO drupaluser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY ‘password’;\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>(Make sure to append “@localhost” to drupaluser; otherwise you’ll get a database error when you try to start Drupal for the first time.)</p>\n\n<p>Go ahead and exit MySQL:</p>\n\n<pre><code>\\q\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Next, make a directory for Drupal with this command:</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo mkdir /var/www/drupal\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Next, you’ll need to unpack the Drupal files and move them to the <code>/var/www/drupal</code> directory. Once the files have been unpacked and copied, you’ll need to make a few changes. First, you’ll have to create a <code>settings.php</code> file for Drupal to use during the installation:</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo cp /var/www/drupal/sites/default/default.settings.php /var/www/drupal/sites/default/settings.php\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Next, make the file writable:</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo chmod 666 /var/www/drupal/sites/default/settings.php\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Then create a files directory for Drupal to use:</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo mkdir /var/www/drupal/sites/default/files\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Mark the files directory as writable:</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo chmod 775 /var/www/drupal/sites/default/files\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Now you’re ready to install Drupal. Open up a web browser on your Ubuntu system and navigate to <code>http://localhost/drupal</code>. You’ll be redirected to the Drupal installation page. Click on the \"Install Drupal In English\" link to continue.</p>\n\n<p>if <code>http://localhost/drupal</code> directs you to the 404 page, Apache is likely looking for the wrong document root. Run the following:</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo -H gedit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Replace <code>DocumentRoot /var/www/html/</code> with <code>DocumentRoot /var/www/</code>; save and exit.</p>\n\n<p>Restart apache to register the changes:</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Go back to the web browser and navigate to <code>http://localhost/drupal</code>. Click on the \"Install Drupal In English\" link to continue.</p>\n\n<p>On the next page, you’ll be asked for the database name, username, and password you created earlier. Enter those names and continue. On the next page, you’ll be asked to set an admin username and password and a few other settings.</p>\n\n<p>After that, your basic Drupal installation is finished, and you can choose how to further customize the site. One last thing you should do; use this command to change the <code>settings.php</code> file so it is no longer world writeable:</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo chmod 644 /var/www/drupal/sites/default/settings.php\n</code></pre>\n",

<p>Hi there!
I installed the 11.04 beta2 and I have played with it, for some days.</p>
<p>I still miss though a kind of main menu (gnomenu, mainmemu, what ever).
Is there a way to put an icon of a mainmenu in the unity dash?</p>

36245 | 1 | null | 2011-04-21T10:18:43.673 | 2 | 2739 | <p>This question seems to have a long history, but I was somehow unable to find a straightforward answer to it. I am using Ubuntu 10.10 with two or three keyboard layouts (US, RU, DE). When I first added additional layouts, there appeared a 3-letter code of the layout at the keyboard icon in the notification area, like this (this is an image from <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/OaYiQ.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">another post</a>):</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/tZK5F.png" alt="Keyboard layout indication"></p>
<p>However, after some weeks of working with Ubuntu, I now have just the keyboard icon, no layout code:</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/IOtep.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
<p>I've no idea why it has disappeared. How can I get it back? :)</p>
<hr>
<p>Just installed Ubuntu 11.04. In a fresh installation with two layouts, I again have an indicator without doing anything for it. Puzzled.</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/OaYiQ.png" alt="Screenshot of layout indicator"></p>
<p>BTW, in the login screen the layout indicated to the right from the password field is unreadable with the "flag icons" suggested as a solution above. With the standard layout indicator, the letters are shown, which is better. So any suggestions as to why the standard layout indicator may disappear are welcome.</p>

It uses Ctrl+D to duplicate the the current line. When I pressed Ctrl+D, it did the opposite! It deleted the line instead! </p>
<p>It turns out that Gedit has an <strong>unlisted</strong> <em>(not in the menu)</em> shortcut-key: Ctrl+D, which deletes a line. </p>
<p>It is quite simple to change <em>any</em> menu item's shortcut-key in Gedit by enabling <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/5241/ubuntu-editable-menu-accelerators-on-a-per-app-basis-where-is-this-option">Editable Menu Accelerators</a>, but I can't change this <em>delete-line</em> action's key, because there is no menu item for it! </p>
<p>How can I override this <em>delete-line</em> action? .. and what other unlisted actions does Gedit have? .. and why is it (they?) unlisted? </p>
<p>PS: The developer of the 'line_tools' provides the plugin with Ctrl+D set to 'Duplicate'.. I assume he tested it; which would suggest that there was no such clash circa 2008-01-30 (the timestamp on the downloaded <code>line_tools.py</code> )</p>

This makes programs like <code>Emacs</code>, that heavily rely on the control key, not work correctly.

I thought of using <code>wget</code> as it shows the speed and response time and I want to schedule it to compare it with my responser script whether both sends the mail at the same time saying error.</p>
<p>I've postfix installed and I could send mails using <code>mail</code> command to any e-mail id from the terminal. I want the output of <code>wget <a href="http://www.mysite.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.mysite.com</a></code> to be mailed with the condition if response time is greater than 5 seconds. Then I can schedule it to run at every 5 mins. I saw many having good programming skills here and hope someone could help me.</p>

when you hover the mouse on the icons folded in the bottom of the unity panel they expand while the icons on the top of the unity panel (usually the home folder and firefox) fold in a accordion effect and stay like this for as long as you want them to stay folded. you can see what i am talking about <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/features" rel="nofollow">here</a></p>
<p>in the new unity 3D in natty this is not implemented. only the icons at the bottom of the unity panel stay folded permanently (because of the gravity force i guess :)) ) while the icons in the upper part never get folded. when u hover the mouse over them they expand but the icons of the upper part of the unity panel don't fold in an accordion effect but they get out of site over the ubuntu logo in the upper panel.
that was a fantastic feature of unity une 10.10 that is not implemented in unity in natty and i want to ask why?
and something else.
take a look at the unity icons on UNE 10.10 at the link provided. they look fantastic, colorful, sexy. the current icons in the Natty's unity are simply super ugly and i still don't know why.
update !!! this is what i was looking 4 in the natty's unity. it is made by ubuntu and u can make it again work the same way in the other releases of unity i guess :)). the second video in this <a href="http://www.zdnet.com/blog/perlow/ubuntu-linux-1104-a-whale-of-changes-for-canonicals-user-base/16125" rel="nofollow">link</a>. isnt that great????</p>

Could be pictures, programs, etc...<br>\n<strong>White</strong> - Space still empty in that partition.<br>\n<strong>Gray</strong> - Space in the hard drive not used by any partition. </p>\n\n<p>You need to drag and occupy the gray part left in the hard drive which is the space left after you DELETED the windows partition.</p>\n\n<p>Or simply put in the Free Space Preceding 0 and in the Free Space Following 0. Then on the New Size put the max size available (HINT: What i do is input a HUGE number then click once to lower the amount, which will set the size to one unit less of the maximum and then click once to raise the amount which will set the size to the actual maximum size. Then click on Resize and the apply that. When finish just boot and you are done.</p>\n\n<p>For the STATUS of your partitions. </p>\n\n<p>Since you are starting from the LiveCD you would most likely only see 2 status. Mount and Unmount. If the unit is mounted just right click on it in the Gparted and select Unmount. If it is unmounted you can start working on it right away since no other program is using it.</p>\n",

Is there something known to cause this to happen, and what can I do to get back the outline?</p>
<p>(<strong>NB:</strong> I have the outline enabled in the plugin settings, so <strong>please</strong> do not ask me to enable it :D (lol)!)</p>

Now I have reinstalled the compiz plugins cleanly and still noting :(. What can I do?</p>

36374 | 1 | null | 2011-04-22T04:06:24.777 | 1 | 1124 | <p>So I have a dilemma where my girlfriend wants to use her DS on my wireless network when she's over, but the thing is old and only supports WEP. My network is normally WPA2 - something I'm not really comfortable with changing, for obvious reasons. As an interim solution, I've been logging into my router, switching the settings so she could play, and then switching them back when she was done. This has gotten old pretty fast, because every time I do it I have to:</p>
<ol>
<li>Login into the router's administrative interface</li>
<li>Change the settings to WEP and then reboot the device, which disconnects my laptop from the internet.</li>
<li>Edit the wireless settings for my network connection on my laptop</li>
<li>Reconnect.</li>
</ol>
<p>Then I have to repeat this process when I want to go back to WPA. Obviously, this is entirely too much work. So I decided to script it.</p>
<p>To handle the router's settings, I wrote two selenium tests - one to login to the router and switch to WEP, the other to switch back to WPA. These are tested and work - and can be called from the command line via selenium RC.</p>
<p>The problem I'm having is the wifi settings. I need to stop the automatic attempt at reconnection (since the saved settings will not work after the router gets switched), change the authentication type from WPA to WEP (or back again), change the password to the appropriate one and then finally reconnect. </p>
<p>Sorry this has been so long winded - just trying to explain the situation to see if anyone has any alternatives to my method and also hope my desire for laziness garners some sympathy. </p>
<p>In brief - does anyone know how I can control my wifi settings and connections via the command line? </p>
<p>I'm using ubuntu 10.10 with gnome.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I recently got an update to gnome-sessions. I hope that solves the problem, however I can only be sure after testing for few days...Will update the situation.</p>
<p>UPDATE: Nope no progress, got the update but the problem persists. But it seems to be a lot less frequent than it used to be. I am following up this question as some people suggested me to re-install but now I face <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/40261/unity-freezes-after-compiz-configuration-change">Unity freezes after compiz configuration change</a></p>

Then, once you are sure your backup is secure, you can delete everything <strong>except</strong> the <code>wallet.dat</code> file in the <code>~/.bitcoin</code> folder.

Don't panic if it initially shows a zero balance after restarting--it won't show your correct balance until it's downloaded the relevant blocks.</p>\n\n<p>On a side note, this is also the safest way to perform an upgrade to a new version of the BitCoin software--<em>backup everything</em>, then delete everything except the <code>wallet.dat</code> file. When you run the new version of bitcoin, your balance will appear once it finishes downloading the blockchain.</p>\n\n<p>Don't forget to head over to the <a href=\"http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/30763/bitcoin\">BitCoin StackExchange proposal</a> to lend your support and vote on sample questions!

<p>I changed all the information in network configuration.The network icon shows it is connected to Internet but when I browse, ping shows no Internet connection.
/etc/network/interfaces look like this:</p>
<pre><code>auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static

gateway 192.168.100.1(gateway address)

network 192.168.100.0

<p>And when I ping my DNS server IP get the reply from DNS server.</p>
<p>I can not understand the problem,it should be mentioned that I also changed the Physical address of my laptop for using the existing connection.</p>
<p>In windows the connection is working fine.</p>
<p>Any suggestion in this question will help me a lot.</p>

<p>Given these specs, there's no reason games and Unity shouldn't be working. The strange thing is that both <em>do</em> work when I run from a live USB, but not when Ubuntu is installed to the hard drive. Is there something different with the 3D capabilities of running from the computer as opposed to running from the live USB?</p>
<p><strong>Edit:</strong> Some more information: When I log in for the first time when running from the hard drive, Ubuntu says "It seems that you do not have the hardware required to run Unity. Please choose Ubuntu Classic at the login screen and you will be using the traditional environment."</p>
