<p>Whenever (using flash) I make YouTube videos fullscreen then they come out not actually any bigger. </p> <p>In the screenshot below you see exactly what I see when watching a video in fullscreen mode. All the black space shouldn't be there (I think). I don't see this problem in other sites, for example BBC iPlayer.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/WhTjm.png" alt="Screenshot of Flash YouTube on Ubuntu"></p> <p>Is this standard YouTube behaviour, common on YouTube, or is it just me?</p> <p>Any suggestions on fixing it?</p>

<p>So I've been running Ubuntu through a VM for a while, and finally decided to run it natively through BootCamp, so I installed it, and the installation went fine. As far as I can tell, everything works fine, except the wireless internet connection. If I use an ethernet cord directly, it works fine. If I try and connect wirelessly, it prompts me for the network password, then it does the scanning thing for about 30 seconds, and then the prompt comes back up. If I enter the password, and then while it's scanning, I click the network, a box comes up that says "Wiress Network Disconnected", and then it resumes scanning.</p> <p>The weird thing is, it has successfully connected before, but it's very sporadic (takes a while to connect, but stays connected), and I haven't been able to replicate settings that makes it connect.</p> <p>Everything works fine in OSX.</p> <p>Wireless settings:<br> SSID: linksys<br> Mode: Infrastructure<br> BSSID: 00:25:9C:45:5D:F6<br> Device Mac Address:<br> Cloned Mac Address:<br> MTU: automatic </p> <p>Wireless Security<br> Security: WPA &amp; WPA2 Personal (my router uses WPA Personal) </p> <p>IPV4 Settings<br> Method: automatic (DHCP)<br> Everything is blank/unchecked </p> <p>IPV6 Settings<br> Method: ignore </p> <p>Any help is greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>I'm running Ubuntu server, hosting a virtual machine using an upstart job. I've got it launching on startup, and shutting down the host on exit, but I can't seem to get it to suspend when the host shuts down. If I use <code>initctl stop vmservice</code>, then the suspend happens correctly - but if I <code>shutdown -h now</code> or <code>reboot</code>, it looks like it's just getting killed (I tried putting a sleep in the pre-stop script, and that behaves the same way). Any help would be appreciated.</p> <p>I'm rather new to upstart, so I'd appreciate any other feedback, too (including, am I doing the "right" thing by calling shutdown in a post-stop?).</p> <p>my job (the 'start on' was snagged from kdm.conf; .startvm and .stopvm just start and suspend the VM):</p> <pre><code>start on (filesystem and started dbus and (graphics-device-added fb0 PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY=1 or drm-device-added card0 PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY=1 or stopped udevtrigger)) stop on runlevel [016] pre-stop script exec su -c "/home/unprivileged_user/.stopvm" - unprivileged_user end script env XORGCONFIG=/etc/X11/xorg.conf exec su -c "xinit /home/unprivileged_user/.startvm -- /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc :0" - unprivileged_user post-stop script shutdown -h now end script </code></pre>

After that event, I'd like to automatically mount a specific folder on the usb device. Therefore, I wrote a udev rule containing <code>RUN+="path_to_script</code> and a script containing <code>mount --bind /media/device/folder mount_directory</code>.</p> <p>The problem is that the USB HDD isn't mounted before the script has not finished. Thus, of course it's impossible for the script to work properly: the hdd has to be mounted first, then the script has to be run.</p> <p>I tried it then with a two script solution. The script executed by udev contains <code>script2 &amp; exit</code> and the second script contains <code>sleep 10; mount --bind ...</code>. </p> <p>However, that doesn't work either. Maybe here it's a problem with permissions? With sudo it also fails. (udev rule is working and script is working when I run it manually (with sudo, of course).).</p> <p>Can someone help me on this issue? How to run the script correctly AFTER automounting? Or is there another solution? </p> <p>By the way, it's working when the whole device is also mounted by the script executed by udev: <code>mount /dev/sdb1/ /media/xyz; mount --bind ...</code> but I preferred another solution, if possible.</p>

As far as I can tell, there is no general error message displayed when an application is denied an attempt to display unsupported systray icon.</p> <p>How can I find out what applications are being denied?</p>

<p>I am a newbie with Ubuntu during the past two weeks, and I believe, that I have made good progress so far. Current setup tasks are completed, like: "Wireless Network, Printer, Thunderbird + Firefox, e-mail", also my local weather station - all setup. Updated files and rearranged the desktop to my liking.</p> <p>The problem I have now is my floppy drive which is not recognized, but the activity light is shown on constantly.</p> <p>I have downloaded the "MakeFloppyDriveAvailableToEveryone" and i am confident that I can follow the instructions to change the floppy drive. However, I do not have an existing <strong>fd0</strong> file in <code>/dev/???</code>, but only <code>/dev/fd/</code> files <strong>0</strong> to <strong>46</strong>.</p> <p>Please advise.</p>

<p>I am considering buying a Dell XPS 15 laptop. The laptop has a Nvidia 420m card which should work with Linux but I keep reading that the Nvidia Optimus technology isn't supported on Linux. I am not really interested in switching from Nvidia to Intel to save power but need to know that the Nvidia card will in fact work if I installed Ubuntu.</p> <p>If anyone has experience using a Nvidia card with Optimus technology or even better the exact laptop in question (Dell XPS 15 with 1GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 420M) it would be great.</p> <p>A major problem holding people back from adopting Linux is this sort of hardware issue. I am a long term Ubuntu user and supporter who can't afford to make a mistake with a purchase like this. I don't want to spend £500+ to find I have no graphics acceleration because Windows 7 is not an option.</p>

<p>I have a whole folder of photos I want to look at as thumbnails, and I'd like to do it by calling one of GNOME's native thumbnailers individually, namely <code>totem-video-thumbnailer</code> or <code>evince-thumbnailer</code>, and piping them through a backend (I hear <code>gstreamer</code> is possible, but anything that allows me to manually call forth a whole foldersworth of thumbnails from the command line will do). </p>

<p>I want to eventually update 10.04 to 11.04 on several computers using a USB. I would like to try it first on a non-essential computer, but the most likely candidate is a test box I run a wubi install on. </p> <p>Should this work? </p> <p>Do I boot from the USB like I normally would, or is there another procedure? </p> <p>Should this emulate the results I would expect when upgrading a normal install?</p>

<p>I have a Synology DS411 and have SSH access through Terminal.</p> <p>I've tried just about every walkthrough for how to connect to an SSH server in Nautilus but nothing has worked. </p> <p>Any ideas why?</p> <p>Is Nautilus using SFTP or something for it's SSH connections?</p> <p>Come to mention it - I have tried setting up FTP connections to the server through Nautilus (I'm using Elementary if it matters) and it crashes after I enter the password.</p> <p>I can use Filezilla with the same connection info fine. Not sure why it's a problem in Nautilus. Only reason I want to move on from Filezilla is very slow transfer speeds. I'm hoping the SSH would bring better results.</p>

<p>I'm a computer science graduate, and learned languages like C, C++, C# and Java. Though I have more experience with Java. I want to develop for Linux and I'd prefer to develop for GNOME, I'm confused between choosing one from the Python and Vala.</p> <p>After going through some documentation on Vala on GNOME Live pages, it seems more familiar to me compared to Python, which is quite a different syntactically compared to most languages I've learned during my graduation. While learning curve in Vala seems smaller to me. So, which language should I choose to begin development, which has better support in variety of distributions. A recommended IDE for suggested language will be appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks.</p>

<p>One of the features of Ubuntu that I really like is the one that suggests packages to install if you try to run a program that isn't installed, like this:</p> <pre><code>$ nmap The program 'nmap' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install nmap </code></pre> <p>Is that a fancy feature of Bash? An extra daemon that hides in the background? How does it do that?</p>

<p>I know that there is quite a few "flavours" of ubuntu. However, I want to get the most performance out of my machine. I'm not sure which one to use. Specs:</p> <p>PPC 500mhz processor, 384MB RAM (10.3 OSX)</p> <p>I heard that I can use ubuntu but I should use xbuntu (because of the low processor and ram). I'm not sure which one to use.</p>

<p>I got it to install nicely and it's all working, but I don't know which graphics card is being used nor how to switch between. I tried installing the official Nvidia drivers, but then I could not boot up my computer afterwards so I have not installed them again after doing a reinstall of Ubuntu. </p> <p>PS, if you have a grub install failure during install, the key is to tell it where to install the bootloader at the very beginning of the installation, on your partition selection screen (choose dev/mapper, not the /dev/sda it defaults to).</p>

<p>I would like to watch movies using Ubuntu PC, and use a bluetooth USB adapter (it's a desktop PC) as the sound output. Then if two or more people come, they can connect with their stereo bluetooth headsets to the PC and can listen to the same sound. Is this possible to setup in Ubuntu?. If yes, then how exactly?</p>

<p>so here's the deal. I have vsftpd installed and am looking to change the default port to something other than 21. I've checked /etc/vsftpd.conf and can't find a setting to change the default port. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04, which doesn't have the /etc/vsftp/vsftpd.conf file. The only line I'm getting in the file that has to do with ports is the following:</p> <p>connect_from_port_20=YES</p> <p>Does anyone know if there's another config file somewhere that I can change the default port on or simply the syntax for a need line to change the port?</p>

<p>I'm planning to upgrade from Maverick to Natty, and to try out Unity, but I don't want to lose any settings, customizations and downloads in Maverick. I just want to know, if upgrading alter anything that I said earlier? </p> <p>I don't want to start over with a clean, fresh Natty, and I hope I can keep all of my files and folders and settings in Maverick, and to have them in Natty after the upgrade. Is this possible? Should I use Update Manager to achieve this? And would all my compiz-settings be reset after I upgrade? </p> <p>Sorry for too much questions, but I'm asking this because you know, in Windows, any version upgrade would require the disk to be reformatted. I hope Ubuntu is more convenient than that. </p>

I need to know all the hardware will work, (I don't mind some tweaking to get things done). I have searched online and most of the sites listing compatibility are out of date with both hardware and the versions of Linux that are being used. Even though lots of work has been put in compiling the information the sites are virtually useless because of the fast pace of development in both hardware and software.</p> <p>Probably the best to look is a site like this where there are lots of active users that keep up to date with both hardware and software. What laptops are you all using (and are confident to recommend to others).</p> <p>I have money to spend but after days and weeks of searching I can't find reliable info on which to make a purchase.

<p>Dear Community!<br> I need it to do it automagically:<br> In the "old days" I just installed the startupmanager and set that that it automaticly only leaved the last 2 fresh kernels, so even if a kernel update came, it did it by itself and I don't had to care about it!<br> How could I set this on Ubuntu 10.04 <em>WITH GRUB2</em>?<br> CLI or GUI solution - it doesn't matter<br> Thank you!</p>

At the end of the installation I got a message informing that I do not have the required hardware for unity, and that I should choose "ubuntu classic".</p> <p>Could someone please shed some light on how to fix this? I have tried adding the "experimental 3d xyz" driver but still no luck. When I log out and try log back in there is no option for unity.</p> <p>My graphics card is an nvidia 240gt or gt240, I cant remember now which way around it goes. </p> <p>I enabled "experimental 3d support for nvidia cards" - this is what I was reffering to above, not a driver - sorry about that.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/GpKtN.png" alt="Experimental 3d support"></p>

<p>Currently all I'm doing is to use sysfs to force both Cores into Powersave mode, however I'm curious if there are other ways to throttle various parts of the Laptop.</p> <p>The specification is</p> <p>Dell Inspiron 640m Core Duo T5600 (1.83Ghz / 2mb cache) Centrino (if that gives any indication to the chipset/graphics/etc) Intel Onboard Graphics 1Gb Memory 250Gb Hitachi HDD (I assume it's 5400rpm since it was low priced, unless all 2.5" drives are 7200rpm now?)</p> <p>Currently, Ubuntu is allowing me to select 1 / 1.33 / 1.83Ghz profiles for my CPU, can this be dropped lower or are these simply all the CPU provides?</p> <p>Other steps I'm considering to drop the temperature (please let me know if they are worthwhile) are, </p> <ul> <li>switching to SSD</li> <li>getting a laptop cooling pad</li> </ul> <p>Thanks for any advice :)</p> <p>EDIT: Just some background info, I want to turn this into a server to run all day/night, and living in HK, ambient temps might get as high as 40C, as I'm not going to leave the air conditioning on while I'm at work.</p> <p>I left it on overnight, it was about 30C last night I think, and this morning awoke to 50C internal/CPU and 45C HDD, with the lid closed and essentially idle. Opening the lid seems to drop the temp back down to 40-45C all around, so I guess I'll be leaving the lid up. </p>

<p>I just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 Beta 2 from Ubuntu 10.10 on my netbook (a Dell Mini 1012). The problem is I have a HP Laserjet 1018 printer which I had it installed in Ubuntu 10.10 without any problems.</p> <p>But after I've upgraded to 11.04, every time I plug it in it asks for downloading the proprietary plugin and installs it then when I remove the cable and plug it in again it downloads the plugin again.</p> <p>I never had this problem in 10.10. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?</p>

<p>This isn't the first time I've installed ubuntu. The first time I had ubuntu and w7 booting from the same drive (worked fine using conventional tricks). This time I am booting from a separate hard drive (not so good this time).</p> <p>Now. I have w7 installed first on my main ssd. Then had ubuntu installed on a separate hard drive. After installing ubuntu 10.10, grub2 didn't show, so I went ahead did the conventional methods of recovering grub, as listed on this website: <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD" rel="nofollow">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD</a></p> <p>I tried both method 1 and method 2. No errors on both. I get something along the lines of "Installation complete. No Errors." Then I reboot. Loads straight to Windows, no grub menu</p> <p>//My linux drive is sda5//My W7 is on sdb//</p> <p>-I tried shift on bios, no good.</p> <p>The only method that worked was using Super Grub2. I dont like the idea of putting in a cd to start linux every time.</p> <p>My question is, are the conventional methods the wrong way to go, because ubuntu is installed on a separate hard drive? Also, note there are no errors when I do method 1 and method 2.</p>
