37483 | 1 | 37644 | 2011-04-28T09:33:55.010 | 15 | 19960 | <p>After I copy say 50+ GB(30,000 files including different formats) of files from an internal hard drive to an external drive is there any way to find out if everything has been copied correctly? Also if I stop in between by canceling the operation and later say <strong>merge</strong> when continuing the operation will the correctness take a hit? </p>
<p>I could use applications like <code>back-in-time</code> but I am very choosy in copying files and for the next time I intend to use <code>copy</code> operation and say <code>merge</code> instead of <code>replace</code>. Is it advisable when copying large number of files? </p>

<p>I have an server with Edubuntu LTSP 10.10, a projector and 20 thin clients. On the server I had to install a video card (nvidia chipset driver 260.19.06) with two ports: DVI and VGA so I can connect the projector on the VGA port. After I installed the driver I managed to configure display settings in twinview clones. </p>
<p>Till now everything is ok but now comes the strange part..until I had to install the video card when users login on thin clients their display was normal but now it is mirrored and upside down and I don't know what happened. Can anyone please tell what to do get display to normal?</p>

<p>I've tried setting <code>any & !(class=Conky)</code> in the <code>Shadow Windows</code> text box of the <code>Window Decoration</code> section. This works. However, every time I try and use either the global menu or an app indicator menu, compiz crashes. Not all the time, it seems quite random on which menu it chooses to crash on, but it happens enough to not use this method.</p>
<p>So I was just wondering if there was any other way of removing the shadow from the Conky window.</p>

</blockquote>
<p>My RAID drive was working well with Ubuntu 10.10, but after doing an upgrade I am no longer able to mount my RAID drive. I think it is due to a invalid RAID description similar to this problem: <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1503104" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1503104</a></p>
<p>Thing is, I never had mdadm installed as far as I can tell. How do I change it back so that my system recognizes the RAID drive. The RAID drive is configured from some sort of software RAID on my motherboard I think.</p>
<p>blkid gives the output:</p>
<pre><code>/dev/ramzswap0: TYPE="swap"
/dev/sda: TYPE="promise_fasttrack_raid_member"
/dev/sdb1: UUID="a-UUID-number" TYPE="ext4"

<p>Under 10.10 I would go into System -> Prefrences -> Monitors and it will pick up the external monitor connection and show a desktop on the TV perfectly. But after I performed an upgrade to 11.04 it would show the monitor in the Monitor preferences window but nothing on the TV. I thought something might have been mucking it up from the upgrade so I backed up my home directory on an external drive and did a clean install. </p>
<p>Still nothing after installing and running updates. I thought it might be something with Unity mucking it up so I logged out and logged back in under Ubuntu Classic. Still nothing showing.</p>
<p>I don't know if this is similar to this bug on launchpad: <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/723002" rel="nofollow">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/723002</a></p>

<p>Long story: I accidentally the graphics driver earlier today, but thankfully, Natty came out and I can do a clean install. All the files are backed up and there would generally be no problem doing that, except there are two other users on this PC and they have very elaborate layouts of the desktop icons. This is also why they will only use the Classic desktop. Just shuffling the icons is not an option. I can't make a screenshot of the current layouts, because, well, the nvidia driver is no more.</p>

37580 | 1 | null | 2011-04-28T15:23:12.863 | 1 | 778 | <p>I have a laptop configured with dual boot (Ubuntu and win7). Partition in which Ubuntu in installed is running out of space(alloted only 15 GB space earlier).I want to use one of my empty partition for Ubuntu. As far as I know I think I have two option to do that to increase the Ubuntu partition size first is to merg that free partition using gparted into it, but that will take lots of time since that free partition is located to the left of Ubuntu partition (comes before on disk addressing space) so gparted will have to shift whole 15 GB of existing data in Ubuntu partition towards left. Other option is to export one of my root director like /usr(or other that consumes lots of space) to that partition.</p>
<p>So, I have following questions:</p>
<ol>
<li>Which option is safe, efficient and comfortable.</li>
<li>If I were to export one of root dir(like /usr ) which one should I export and HOW. I think /usr should be the one since user programs are installed in it which constitute major portion of space.</li>
<li>Any other better way of doing this??</li>
</ol>

<p>I ran the command <code>chown -R someuser:somegroup .*</code>, and before I had noticed the <code>.</code>, I hit <kbd>Enter</kbd>, and this mistake made that half my system was owned by <code>someuser</code> before I could stop it.</p>
<p>I managed to get everything back to root (namely, <code>/sbin</code>, <code>/etc</code>, <code>/lib</code>, and some stuff under <code>/usr</code>). I <code>apt-get --reinstall install</code>ed a pile of packages, including ALSA. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, ALSA doesn't work for non-root users. That is, <code>sudo aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav</code> works fine, but as an unprivileged user, it spits out </p>
<pre><code>"cannot find card '0'"`
</code></pre>
<p>Although adding my users to the audio group might work, I'd read many places that this is no longer the solution to these problems.</p>
<p>So that leaves me with the question - where should I look to find my hosed permissions?</p>

37590 | 1 | null | 2011-04-28T15:50:22.023 | 34 | 109338 | <p>Tonight I upgraded to 11.04. Problems. Once I had finished the upgrade, I restarted my computer as it told me too. When I got past the ubuntu 11.04 (purple background orange dots), it simply went to the terminal and asked me to log in. I tried to restart the X server with "sudo service gdm restart" but no display popped up. I happened to have a few NVIDIA drivers in my downloads file also so I gave these a try, but the "install script" failed. </p>
<p>After all this I booted Ubuntu in graphic failsafe mode. I then decided to see what would happen if I removed the proprietary driver. Upon doing this and rebooting my Ubuntu booted into graphical mode "yay!". So without the Nvidia drivers I can finally see something other than terminal, but, I need those NVIDIA drivers for my work. So what can I do? I have tried installing the new NVIDIA linux drivers from the NVIDIA website, and have tried Installing the recommended driver via "additional drivers", but both have resulted in my being stuck in terminal.</p>
<p>If you can help or give me some advice PLEASE DO! I am really in a very bad situation...</p>

<p>The server uploads using SFTP. After authentication, any command execution is forbidden, so I cannot SSH directly in, I need to get directly into the SFTP subsystem.</p>
<p>For instance.</p>
<p><code>ssh -N user@example.com</code> works fine, except I can't SFTP anything.</p>
<p>However, I can do <code>sftp user@example.com</code> just fine.</p>
<p><strong>Problem:</strong> I need to automate this, the authentication is keyboard-interactive, not key-based. I don't own the server I'm connecting to, they simply said <em>"Here's the password, upload the files every week."</em> And nobody over there knows anything about keys or stuff like that. </p>
<p><code>sftp -b</code> Batch scripts won't allow keyboard interactive auth.</p>
<p>I'm sick of manually uploading the file. They sent the 8-charecter password over unencrypted email and it contains 3 of the same numbers at the end and one dictionary word (ie "Words777") -- lets pretend security really isn't an issue here.</p>
<p>Can I make the SSH key from just the password? Remember, I don't have access to the other server. Can I script this some way? I've attempted using different packages, and even <code>rsync</code> to do the upload, but they all want to access SSH directly instead of directly getting into the SFTP subsystem.</p>

37663 | 1 | null | 2011-04-28T19:40:20.420 | 3 | 7172 | <p>I just installed 11.04 (with updates/ubuntu extras installed).</p>
<p>I am using a Dell Dimension 3000, and it is apparently not capable of running Unity.</p>
<p>There was no flickering during the install, but once I rebooted and logged in, it was so bad that everything on the screen was unreadable. Clicking on a menu will cause it to open, but it flickers so as to be unreadable. If you hover over the options, they will be visible for a moment, but it will them continue flickering.</p>
<p>If I immediately open Firefox upon login and touch nothing else (no menus, panels, or other windows), then I am able to use Firefox without the flickering, but the panels look fragmented and corrupted.</p>
<p>Here are a couple screenshots, which I hope have turned out okay (since as soon as I take the screenshot everything will begin flickering :P).</p>
<p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/QzCzG.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://i.stack.imgur.com/QzCzG.jpg</a></p>
<p>Note that in this second image that the 'Take screenshot' window is actually no longer open--the image just sticks to the screen anyway.</p>
<p>My graphics card: </p>
<blockquote>
<p>00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Things I have tried:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>As soon as I saved the second screenshot, my whole machine froze up. After absolutely no response to anything after ~10 minutes, I unplugged the machine (shudder) and started it up again. Thankfully, Firefox saved my post, and I was able to submit it.</p></li>
<li><p>This flickering happens in Ubuntu Classic as well ,and menus flicker.</p></li>
<li><p>Adding the phrase "i915.modeset=0" immediately before "quiet splash" did stop the flickering. However, it also changed my Princeton monitor's resolution to 640x460. Should I follow the instructions <a href="http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change-display-resolution-settings-using-xrandr.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>?</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Note: my monitor is marked as "Unknown" in the Monitor Settings window. There aren't any other resolutions available in the dropdown.</p>
<p>I have succeeded in making the change persistent. I will let you know how fixing the resolution goes.</p>
<p>Edit4: The instructions didn't work. Here's the terminal output:</p>

<p>I undid the change to GRUB, and installed Unity 2d. There is no flickering of any kind in Unity 2d, and the resolution is just right. However, feel free to ask me anything else if someone would like to know more about the bug.</p>

37692 | 1 | 37852 | 2011-04-28T21:09:45.237 | 12 | 39288 | <p>I've got a brand new laptop with a 128GB SSD drive. I read that aligning the partitions to match the Erase Block Size of the SSD is important. I followed William Scott's guide <a href="http://williamscott.me/blog/2010/12/ssd-tweaks-linux-align-partitions/">SSD Tweaks in Linux and Aligning Partitions</a> and my partitions ended up being:</p>
<pre><code>$ sudo fdisk -lu /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 128.0 GB, 128035676100 bytes
32 heads, 32 sectors/track, 244208 cylinders, total 250069680 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00037bd2
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1024 206847 102912 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 206848 16985087 8389120 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3 16985088 250068991 116541952 83 Linux
</code></pre>
<p>Then I installed Ubuntu Natty and specified the partitions manually so that <code>/dev/sda1</code> became the <code>/boot</code> partition formatted with ext2, <code>/dev/sda2</code> the swap and <code>/dev/sda3</code> the <code>/</code> formatted with ext4. After the installation the thing didn't boot, and I ended up in the grub-rescue console which doesn't make any sense to me. It's giving me:</p>
<pre><code>error: invalid arch independent ELF magic.
grub rescue>
</code></pre>
<p>Have I done some mistakes during my installation? How do I solve the issue with grub-recovery?</p>

It says there is no color profile for my monitor. Then I inserted the monitor's driver CD and imported some color profiles from it. However, Gnome Color Manager told me that the profiles I imported are missing information for whole-screen color correction. I tried searching the web for colour profiles with not much luck.</p>
<p>On Windows I could easily change the brightness/contrast using the ATI Catalyst Control Center. What can I do with this on Natty? Is there another option? The OSD options of my monitor don't do what I want, they work awkwardly. Measuring color with an expensive device is out of question.</p>

<p>However, there is one glaring oversight, from the point of view of someone
who uses Ubuntu for professional programming work. I frequently
want to have more than a dozen emacs windows open as I'm writing
code. </p>
<p>In classic Ubuntu, I could easily choose which one I want
from the name of the file in the bottom task bar, but this does not
seem to have an equivalent in Unity. When I have so many open,
it's difficult to find which window I want. For this, even the
10.10 Unity was better because I could <kbd>Alt</kbd><kbd>Tab</kbd> through and see their names; no more in 11.04. It would be great if the new task bar had one emacs box (for example) covering all instances of emacs windows open. Right click on the
box and have the option to see a list of the names of all open
instances. </p>
<p>Presently, the usefulness of right clicking on these
taskbar boxes seems very limited anyways. I think a simple change
of this nature would greatly improve Unity's utility.</p>
<p>I already use multiple workspaces (6) and often have something like a terminal window and many emacs windows per workspace, and I'm already using keyboard shortcuts. So far, none of these get at the heart of the problem, I don't think an 'open file list' is a tall order.</p>
<p><kbd>Super</kbd>+<kbd>W</kbd> does the exact opposite of what I'm suggesting. There are already too many windows open on a single workspace to easily find the one I'm looking for - viewing all windows on all workspaces just clutters the view even more.</p>
<p><kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>↑</kbd> does not help. If I have a dozen emacs windows open on a single workspace, doing this shows all the open windows on the workspace all at once, but spaces them out and shrinks them down to little icons. How am I supposed to figure out at first glance which one I want? They are indistinguishable.</p>

</blockquote>
<p>Hi everyone!
In oldest versions of Ubuntu I used sensors applet that shows temperature of my Hard disk and Processor on my panel.
In Ubuntu 11.04 I cant use that. So, is there something for unity maybe that will show me the temperature? Or is there another way to do this? Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>The section is really annoying for normal use. We don't have to know why we can download some random games every time we want to start an application.</p>
<p>Also, it may make the lens even faster as it will only have to display installed applications rather than creating some random list.</p>

If they haven't made major changes, one of the options when installing OpenSUSE is to install no bootloader at all. After the install you need to run sudo update-grub from Ubuntu to add OpenSUSE to the bootloader. (This was the option I went with, since I wanted to keep Ubuntu's bootloader.) The only downside to doing it this way is that whenever OpenSUSE updates their kernel, you have to update the grub manually (from within Ubuntu - at least that's the easiest way IMO).</p>\n\n<p>I think Fedora 15 uses GRUB2 as well; if you install Fedora second you'll get a Fedora theme for the bootloader but there's otherwise no difference.</p>\n",
