36483 | 1 | 36590 | 2011-04-22T19:32:13.170 | 2 | 2481 | <p>In Firefox, when I clicked a pdf file in website, I would be asked to download the pdf file or open the pdf file in evince running outside Firefox.</p>
<p>Since I install Adobe Reader, whenever I clicked a pdf link, the pdf will be opened in it running inside Firefox.</p>
<p>I feel it is now running more slowly than before. Is it possible to change which application to open pdf from within Firefox?</p>
<p>Thanks and regards!</p>

36512 | 1 | 36524 | 2011-04-22T21:27:35.807 | 7 | 5803 | <p>I was reading today the latest <a href="http://design.canonical.com/2011/04/unity-benchmark-usability-april-2011/">Canonical design blog post</a> where I was kind of surprised that one should be able to right click on the desktop to change the wallpaper. I am running the most updated version of natty and have the latest unity package installed (3.8.10) but right clicking on the desktop brings nothing on my machine. On the other hand, when I right click on any launcher icon I do get a quick list, so I know it's not a problem with my mouse or something. Is this a known bug?</p>
<p>I tried to kill Nautilus as Nathan suggested using Alt+F2 and then <code>killall nautilus</code>. Just to be sure, I then opened a terminal window and typed the same command again. Got the response <code>nautilus: no process found</code> (I figured that my first try to kill nautilus worked then. Just to be on the safe side, I clicked the "Home" icon on my launcher to start Nautilus, and then killed it again (same command). Still nothing happened.</p>
<p>Following some of the comments below, I should specify that I do have ubuntu-desktop installed (and updated version 1.220) and nautilus is indeed installed (Version: 1:2.32.2.1-0ubuntu13). (Used to have nautilus from the elementary PPA, but removed it following the comments below - still no luck).</p>

36533 | 1 | 36535 | 2011-04-23T00:25:08.750 | 5 | 8729 | <p>I am running Ubuntu 11.04 desktop with encrypted home directories. I do development work on my computer and I want to have my webroot directory to be within my home directory so it is encrypted with the rest of my home directory. As I am the only use of the machine, I want to configure Apache to point to this directly.</p>
<p>Current I have changed the <code>/var/www</code> folder into a symbolic link to the workspace in my hone dir: <code>/home/valorin/workspace</code></p>
<p>However, this throws <strong>403 Forbidden</strong> errors in apache.</p>
<p>I have added my user into the <code>www-data</code> group, and set the ownership & permissions on the workspace folder:</p>
<pre><code>drwxrwxr-x 2 valorin www-data 4096 2011-04-23 10:02 workspace
</code></pre>
<p>But the only way I can get it to work is to change my home dir group to be www-data and set permissions too. I don't really want to do this as it means Apache has access to my home dir and could possibly be used by someone on my network to get into my personal data.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how I can solve this problem?</p>

36573 | 1 | 102257 | 2011-04-23T06:57:28.017 | 46 | 57806 | <p>I installed a fresh Ubuntu 10.10 onto a new hard drive and want to mount the old home directory to a subdirectory of my new (also encrypted) home directory.</p>
<p>I tried this with <code>sudo mount -t ecryptfs /mnt/oldhome/me/ /home/me/oldhome</code>, with <code>/mnt/oldhome</code> being the /home partition of the old system.</p>
<p>Afterwards ~/oldhome contains a desktop link file (Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop) linking to <code>ecryptfs-mount-private</code> and a <code>README.txt</code> saying I should run <code>ecryptfs-mount-private</code>. I do so, but as I don't know what is supposed to happen, I can't tell if it happens and if it brings me closer to accessing my old home.</p>
<p>Any hints?</p>
<p><strong>update</strong></p>
<p>I was able to mount my old encrypted home with the help of <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/31675/decrypt-home-from-separate-partition-after-re-install/34169#34169">this script</a>. Though, looking into it with <code>ls</code>, I get alot of errors like this:</p>
<pre><code>ls: cannot access /mnt/oldme/some_file: No such file or directory
</code></pre>
<p>Other information <code>ls -l</code> should show, is replaced by question marks.</p>
<p><strong>update 2</strong></p>
<p>I mounted the old system to /mnt/oldroot and mount /dev, /sys, /proc and the old home partition into. Then I chrooted into /mnt/oldroot, <code>su - me</code> and <code>ecryptfs-mount-private</code>. Asked for the passphrase I put it in and got:</p>
<pre><code>Error: Unwrapping passphrase and inserting into the user session keyring failed [-5]
Info: Check the system log for more information from libecryptfs
ERROR: Your passphrase is incorrect
</code></pre>
<p><code>ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase</code> gives me the exact same passphrase I used, though.</p>

It's built in to Chrome, but Chromium users need to rely on <a href="/a/424844/175814">other solutions</a>.</em></p>
<p>I being a developer want to use Flash version 10.1 or older on some of my Ubuntu machines. The problem is each time I run Google Chrome on this Lucid 64 bit machine (which is the only machine with me) I get a warning:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This flash plugin was blocked because it is out of date</p>
</blockquote>
<p>As per instructions on these links:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/run-chromium-with-flags" rel="nofollow">http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/run-chromium-with-flags</a></li>
<li><a href="http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/" rel="nofollow">http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/</a></li>
</ul>
<p>then I tried at a command line:</p>
<pre><code>google-chrome --allow-outdated-plugins
</code></pre>
<p>But I still got the same warning. Is there a way I can use with an old version of flash plugin?</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE 1</strong><br>
As per below suggestion I edited the hex value of one of the file
<code>
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so

<p>which was<br>
<code>/usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so</code><br>
From 10.1 to 10.2 but there was no effect.How do I find out which file is google-chrome using from above?</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE 2</strong>
Following from lsof output I found </p>
<pre><code>var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
</code></pre>
<p>is the flash plugin which google chrome is using and there I could not find the string Flash 10.1 as mentioned in reply below.</p>

I have seen reports that claim Wine based applications run faster.</p>\n\n<p>The database presents a colour coding describing the stability and issues found when running the Windows application under Wine.</p>\n\n<p>Platinum rated applications will work without any issues for a particular version of Wine. The keypart of that statement is the version of Wine. It comes in two flavours:</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><p>Wine 1.2 from the repository is the recommended stable version of Wine.</p></li>\n<li><p>Wine 1.3 (also from the repository) is the current development version of Wine. It will be updated every two weeks with fixes - and regressions.</p></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Thus, if the winehq.org database says that it is Gold/Platinum rated under a version 1.3.x then the application will run close to the native Windows speed, but with the understanding that the stability could be affected with the next development update.</p>\n\n<p>If you want rock-solid stability then stay with either a dual-boot Ubuntu/Windows installation, or you can use a good virtual solution such as VirtualBox or VMWare. This will give you the same stability but with the speed sacrifice of running a virtual solution - this can be anything between 5 to 30% (or more) depending upon the type of Windows application and the type of virtual hosting solution.</p>\n\n<p>Graphics intensive based applications tend to suffer more under a virtual solution due to the reliance on virtual graphics driver - this driver tends to give basic graphics performance for 2D based applications. Hence, games rarely run well under a virtual solution. Recent VirtualBox versions claim to have good 3D capabilities with newer Graphics cards.</p>\n\n<p>Since Photoshop is graphically intensive, you perhaps should consider running this virtually only if you have a very good graphics card - you should also consider installing any proprietary driver such as NVIDIA or ATI Catalyst.</p>\n",

36631 | 1 | 36637 | 2011-04-23T16:49:09.537 | 7 | 20223 | <p>Is there a ubuntu program like CPU-Z which will show me the actual frequency of my processor?</p>
<p>I do a fair amount of scientific computing which leads to me running my programs for up to 10 hrs. To alleviate this problem a little I overclock my CPU. However I can't see what the actual clock of my processor from within ubuntu which means I either have to restart and look at the bios or load into windows. If there was an applet or command line command to find out this information it would be very helpful.</p>
<p>Thanks for your help</p>

36675 | 1 | 52813 | 2011-04-23T21:44:57.197 | 4 | 2412 | <p>Pardon my ignorance, but I'm relatively new to Linux and unable to find a sufficient answer to this question elsewhere. I'm looking to install the Linux Mint environment on top of Ubuntu, preferably with the option of switching between the normal Ubuntu Gnome environment and Mint (like you would switch between Gnome and KDE).</p>
<p>Two questions:</p>
<ol>
<li>Is this even possible?</li>
<li>If so, what's the easiest way to go about this?</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<hr>
<p><strong>Update:</strong></p>
<p>Turns out when I asked this question I didn't know how to ask it correctly. What I wanted was not all of Linux Mint but rather just the Cinnamon desktop environment.</p>
<p>The Cinnamon desktop environment used in Linux Mint can be installed with Ubuntu using the following command:</p>
<pre><code>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install cinnamon nemo
</code></pre>
<p>Hopefully this helps anyone who comes to this question looking for how to install the Mint desktop environment on top of Ubuntu.</p>

<p>I currently use 6 desktops and I would like to continue to do so. I've tried Unity, but by default it has only 4 and navigation between them is clunky at best. Gnome 3 has a linear navigation scheme between desktops, but in Unity one must either go left/right or up/down and there doesn't appear to be any way of knowing which desktop one is on and which direction one needs to go. In my view, the multiple desktop scheme in Unity is very poorly designed and unecessarily limits users to the default settings. Is it possible to change the default settings?</p>

<ol>
<li>Run 11.04 which has experimental Sandy Bridge support in the kernel</li>
<li>Disable nVidia Optimus if I want to use nvidia driver</li>
</ol>
<p>Option 2 is not possible because there is no option in the BIOS even though I have already updated to the latest version from Dell's support site.</p>
<p>Thus, it comes to my question: my attempt to install 11.04 works until I have to reboot. After which all I see is a brief image of the Ubuntu logo with 5 dots. Then, the screen keeps flickering like crazy with different colors. How do I boot up my Ubuntu with a barebone, no frill so I can keep running <code>apt-get upgrade</code> every couple of days?</p>

This computer is based around an <a href="http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_775/Striker_Extreme/" rel="nofollow">Asus 'Striker Extreme'</a> motherboard. I can install Ubuntu, but the machine cannot connect to the network. The installer and <code>modprobe</code> both claim to recognize the network interfaces of the motherboard, but there is no network connectivity. </p>
<p>When the machine's interfaces are configured to use DHCP, they claim to be sending out DHCPDISCOVER messages, but looking at the log on my DHCP server, I see no DHCPDISCOVER messages received and no DHCPOFFER messages sent out. When the machine's interfaces are configured to use static IP addresses, they can't communicate with the rest of the network.</p>
<p>I tested the cable separately: it works. I tested with different DHCP servers: no change. I tested with a different switch: no change.</p>
<p>When I use Google to seek an answer to this problem, I end up with answers <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=352716" rel="nofollow">like this one on the Ubuntu forums</a> or <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-387312.html" rel="nofollow">like this one elsewhere on the same forum</a>, which are dated advice and which don't work for me: I can go through the steps of telling modprobe to do something different, but this does not solve the problem and the symptoms that I am experiencing do not change. </p>
<p>How can I get this machine connected to my network ?</p>

<p>Generally, I think Linux should be stable? But recently, my Ubuntu was hanging or lagging. Mouse moves but not responding to clicks. On Windows, I would use Ctrl+Alt+Del and stop any unresponsive apss. I wonder if theres a replacement in Ubuntu for Ctrl+Alt+Del? OR what will u do when Ubuntu hangs?</p>

36710 | 1 | 36729 | 2011-04-24T05:22:05.323 | 18 | 1035 | <p>Why doesn't Ubuntu require restarts on more updates? I know that for kernel updates and things like video drivers, it can't load the changes without a restart. But I'm curious about more basic updates of pretty fundamental packages that often don't require restarts. Things like Telepathy, glibc, gtk, etc. Why don't packages like this require a restart to be updated? Is the new version actually running right after an update?</p>
<p>Another example would be Gwibber. I recently received and update to gwibber via the Update Manager while gwibber was running. The update completed successfully. Would gwibber be running the new version without manually restarting it? And is that the same for other packages? (I know some like mysql and apache automatically restart on an update). For packages that don't automatically restart, can't that be somewhat of a security issue for security fix?</p>
<p>This comes up because I have been running OS X for about a week and almost every update requires a restart even if it isn't kernel/video driver related (as far as I can tell - they don't give you a lot of information). A friend of mine said that Apple forces restarts on most updates "just in case" it would be weird if you didn't restart. Windows is the worst because almost any install/uninstall or update requires a restart (often forcing shutdowns to take a <em>very</em> long time). This may be a bit broad for this venue, but why do the different operating systems handle this so differently? Or, more specific to Ubuntu: why doesn't Ubuntu follow a more strict restart policy?</p>

"body": "<p>Whenever you open or execute a file in Windows, Windows locks the file in place (this is a simplification, but usually true.) You may have encountered those annoying errors where you can't delete a file because another process has an exclusive lock on it. This is why whenever Windows has to update itself you need a reboot for it to take effect. Windows will queue up file replacement and deletion activities for when it next boots up (when nothing has a lock on anything.)</p>\n\n<p>On the other hand, Linux has a mechanism wherein it's not the file that is locked but the underlying data on the disk that is. This may seem a trivial differentiation but it means that the file's record in the filesystem's table of contents can be deleted without disturbing any program that already has the file open. So you can delete a file while it is still executing or otherwise in use and it will continue to exist on disk as long as some process has an open handle for it even though its entry in the file table is gone. This allows Linux to replace a program completely while it's still running and then simply restart the program or just wait for the process to exit naturally. Once the old instance is killed, the old files will no longer exist at all and the new files will have taken up residence in their entries in the file table.</p>\n\n<p>So, as long as a particular file is not special in some way (like, for example, the kernel image file or files belonging similarly low-level systems) the updater can usually update-in-place like this. I'm sure there are special cases and situations where this would not be a good idea, but for most cases it's fine.</p>\n\n<p>As for why OS X does it, that \"just in case\" theory sounds plausible.</p>\n",

36722 | 1 | null | 2011-04-24T07:55:38.130 | 1 | 1471 | <p>So, I bought a <strong>NAS</strong>, which I configured successfully in <code>/etc/fstab</code>, on mu Kubuntu 10.10 Thinkpad x40. It works just fine when I am at home. A few days I went out with my laptop and the problem is, that when not at home, both <strong>suspend</strong> and <strong>hibernate</strong> functions seem forever to work. </p>
<p>I commented out the entry on <code>fstab</code> and the laptop started to work as expected.
I played with <code>autofs</code>, but it seems just dies at one moment and I cannot access anything. It works for some time, and then just goes off.</p>
<p><strong>Is there any consistent way, to make my laptop access the drive when at home and work OK when away?</strong></p>
<p>Probably a script that runs at startup, checks if the mount is there and mounts it if available... or a script that umount the drive at <strong>suspend|hibernate</strong> and loads it back at startup.</p>
<p>Any useful ideas?</p>

My one issue is that half of my monitor is fine and the other half is blurry almost as if there's a blurry vertical stripe on the right side. I tried disabling Compiz and have the same issue in both gnome and kde, I was wondering if theres an xorg.conf change that could be made to fix this as I have already set the resolution and refresh rates to the correct values.</p>

Other team members--Elizabeth Krumbach (pleia2) and Nathan Handler (nhandler)--have worked hard to field questions and produce UWN in my absence, but it’s a lot of work as pleia2 even <a href=\"http://princessleia.com/journal/?p=3883\" rel=\"nofollow\">wrote about on her blog</a>.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"http://akgraner.com/?p=627\" rel=\"nofollow\">Prior to October though</a>, <a href=\"http://akgraner.com/?p=649\" rel=\"nofollow\">the team has needed</a> more <a href=\"http://akgraner.com/?p=805\" rel=\"nofollow\">volunteers to accomplish covering</a> the scope of the Ubuntu Community. Many people want to help without realizing the time, energy, and effort that goes into making the publication work.</p>\n\n<p>In the last year, we have moved the team into a public IRC channel on <em>irc.freenode.net --#ubuntu-news</em>-- so that we, the Ubuntu News Team, would be working in the open and allow for more “drive-by” contributors with the understanding that not every suggestion will make it into UWN, but stressing that each suggestion <em>is</em> appreciated and wanted.</p>\n\n<p>We asked readers to <a href=\"http://akgraner.com/?p=820\" rel=\"nofollow\">answer a short survey</a> so the format could be updated based on reader preference. We’ve looked at new ways to offer the news letter in addition to the wiki page and plain text email. </p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/EditingPolicies\" rel=\"nofollow\">If the process stays the same</a> then it takes upwards of 16+ hours to put the newsletter together and publish it. It is not an automated process nor should it be. It takes someone and or many people to make sure we link to the original stories, that the summaries capture the spirit and meaning of an article in 3 to 4 sentences.</p>\n\n<p>We check spelling, grammar, format, links and more, but we won’t change the authors original writing.</p>\n\n<p><strong>In short, there hasn’t been a newsletter because there hasn’t been people willing to help.</strong> Asking the same 3 or 4 people to give up weekends for years is not acceptable either and that’s what was happening and because of that we are looking at ways to keep burn out from happening going forward.</p>\n\n<p><em><strong>The good news in all of this is a re-launch is being planned and will take place after UDS-O. However, more contributors are needed for every detail of the newsletter and without that UWN will not be a predictable and consistent publication.</em></strong> </p>\n\n<p>Anyone wishing to help with UWN please can <a href=\"http://mailto%3aakgraner@ubuntu.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">contact me</a> or <a href=\"https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-news-team\" rel=\"nofollow\">the news team</a> and we can get UWN polished, perfected and reflecting the pulse of the community one week at a time again!</p>\n",

So is there any alternative Store (other than Jamendo and Magnatune, I'm looking for something more "mainstream") that works on Ubuntu for non-US users (eg: Amazon MP3 is not an option, since it's US only)?</p>
<p>I would love to be able to actually <strong>buy</strong> my music rather than illegally downloading it from the internet, but so far I failed to find a real alternative. Buying CDs in online stores and having them shipped to me isn't an alternative for me either. And options that require wine/crossover are out of question too.</p>
<p>So, how can I get my favorite music legally on Ubuntu?</p>

</blockquote>
<p>Okay so my Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit desktop (moments after logging in) will revert back to the "classic" gray gnome theme. This is an easy but annoying fix, since I can (constantly :P) just open Appearance and it will change back, automatically. But even after that Nautilis and desktop-right click are still old and gray looking. Is there a fix to this problem; This is getting very annoying. (Note: Also, my icons are affected as well :( )</p>
