<p>I just upgraded my main machine to Natty. I have an ATI 2600 with the proprietary ATI driver. It worked fine with Maverick on both 3D games and the Compiz desktop.</p>
<p>Now games still work, but merely moving windows laggs really annoyingly. Is there some way to fix this?</p>

Another benefit is allowing access to many more commands and scripts.</p>\n\n<p>A common terminal task of installing an application can be achieved within a single command, compared to navigating through the Software Centre or Synaptic Manager. </p>\n\n<p>For example the following would install Deluge bittorrent client:</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo apt-get install deluge\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>To save a detailed list of files in the current directory tree to a file called <code>listing.txt</code>:</p>\n\n<pre><code>find -type f > listing.txt\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Sometimes you will also see the following notation:</p>\n\n<pre><code>$ whoami\ncalum\n$ ls\nDownloads Documents\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>This means that the command <code>whoami</code> is executed which gives <code>calum</code> as output. Following that command, <code>ls</code> is executed which outputs <code>Downloads Documents</code>.</p>\n\n<p>A similar notation is:</p>\n\n<pre><code># apt-get update\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>This means that the command should be run as root, that is, using <code>sudo</code>:</p>\n\n<pre><code>$ sudo apt-get update\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Note that the <code>#</code> character is also used for <em>comments</em>.</p>\n\n<pre><code># this command will give your username\nwhoami\n# the next command will show the contents of the current directory\nls\n</code></pre>\n\n<hr>\n\n<h2>How do I open a terminal:</h2>\n\n<ul>\n<li><p>Open the <strong>Dash</strong> (Super Key) or\n<strong>Applications</strong> and type <code>terminal</code></p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/CrJLq.png\" alt=\"enter image description here\"></p></li>\n<li><p>Use the keyboard shortcut by pressing <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>T</kbd>.</p></li>\n<li><p>For older or Ubuntu versions: <a href=\"https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal#Starting%20a%20Terminal\" rel=\"noreferrer\"><em>(More Info)</em></a></p>\n\n<p>Applications → Accessories → Terminal</p></li>\n</ul>\n\n<hr>\n\n<h2>Alternative names for the terminal:</h2>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Console</li>\n<li>Shell</li>\n<li>Command line</li>\n<li>Command prompt</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>(Although technically <a href=\"https://askubuntu.com/q/506510/301745\">they mean different things</a>)</p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<h2>Common commands & Further information</h2>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Ubuntu Documentation: <a href=\"https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Using The\nTerminal</a></li>\n</ul>\n",

38174 | 1 | 38176 | 2011-04-29T19:52:50.897 | 1 | 1265 | <p>Today Ubuntu asked me to upgrade to 11.04. The installation went completely fine until right at the end when the following packages failed:</p>
<pre><code>install-info
ubuntu-standard
</code></pre>
<p>The installer hung so I had to shut it down manually. Ubuntu still works fine but it says that the upgrade didn't work properly so I am hesitant to restart it until I have resolved the problem in case I can't get back in.</p>
<p>I am running Ubuntu inside the latest version of Virtual Box and was previously running version 10.10.</p>
<p>I have tried installing install-info manually with apt-get but I get the following error:</p>

<p>I try to open my terminal, but no any window popup. I press <code>alt+tab</code> and the windows switcher appears in which there is the terminal. I switch to it, however, nothing happens.</p>
<p>I can see the word <code>terminal</code> in my top bar. When I move cursor on it I see the <code>file</code> <code>edit</code> <code>view</code> and so on. But they are useless unless I can find my terminal window.</p>
<p>I have no problem with chrome, firefox, eclipse, ubuntu software center, pidgin and many more applications. But without terminal, I'm using a disabled linux. </p>

38180 | 1 | null | 2011-04-29T20:20:48.933 | 6 | 897 | <p>I'm running an upgrade from Maverick to Natty from a mounted 'alternate' ISO, but it's current status is "Fetching file 1444 of 1703 at 55.1 kB/s". I'm pretty sure it's trying to use the network for the "Getting new packages" phase. How can I make sure it uses only the ISO, and not the network? Disconnecting the network (or keeping it disconnected the entire time) just results in stalling (waiting, not freezing) during the "Getting new packages" phase.</p>
<p>I've followed <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NattyUpgrades#Upgrading%20Using%20the%20Alternate%20CD/DVD" rel="nofollow">the instructions on the Ubuntu Wiki for upgrading using the Alternate CD ISO mounted as a drive</a>. Also, I selected "No" to the question about updating packages during the upgrade.</p>
<p>If this is a bug, please give a link with the bug number or tell me that I should file a bug.</p>

<p>I was wondering, what are the advantages and disadvantages of using either?
Also which one is preferred and better? </p>

<p>My printer (a HP LaserJet P1005) have been installed and working in Ubuntu 10.10. After upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04 Beta 1, it still worked, but after receiving updates from that point on, it never printed a single sheet ever since.</p>
<p>It's displayed as set up, working and ready to print, but hitting the print button does absolutely nothing. It won't even print a test page. This problem goes for BOTH of my laptops. Upgrading to the final version of Natty didn't help either.</p>
<p>Since I saw no printer icon on the top bar, I tried logging on to Ubuntu Classic, but this did not work. I even tried plugging in a different printer. That didn't work either.</p>
<p>How can I resolve this problem?</p>

<p>The second issue:</p>
<p>Application icons for running applications do not maintain their position in the Unity Bar but instead move around according to some weird rules (if any?) that I can't understand.</p>
<p>Is this to be expected, or is it a bug? Is there a way to force them to stop moving around? I like to see certain apps in certain positions and this bothers me.</p>

So for example, if you run Nautilus, it will always appear in the same location as your Home folder icon (at the top by default). However, if for example, you install a new application without adding it to the launcher, and run it, unity will simply place this application below your favourites (in what ever space is available). This may make it seem as if applications are moving around (scary ain't it?), but in fact, they are not! They are just falling into place where ever there is room to do so. To get your applications to \"stay in one place\" (and don't move!!!):</p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Open the Dash.</li>\n<li>Start typing the name of the application until it appears.</li>\n<li>Click and drag the application icon to the spot on the launcher where you would like it to be.</li>\n<li>From now on the application will stay in the same place unless you move it to another location :)!</li>\n</ol></li>\n</ul>\n",

For the sake of\n compatibility, make sure you download the same version as the one\n which comes with your Ubuntu version: check it here.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<pre><code>cd /tmp\nwget http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-win-opensource-4.7.4-mingw.exe\nwine qt-win-opensource-4.7.4-mingw.exe\n</code></pre>\n\n<blockquote>\n <p>The last command will launch the installer as if it was on a Windows\n environment. Do NOT run it as sudo! During the install you will be\n prompted that MinGW is missing: this is perfectly normal and can be\n ignored.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>After the successful install we need to set the environment variable PATH in Wine, as it, for some reason, is not set automatically by the Qt installer. Simply run:</p>\n\n<pre><code>wine regedit\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>and browse to \"HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Environment\". Right click and add a new string value with name \"Path\". Double click on it to edit and set its value to \"c:\\windows;c:\\windows\\system;c:\\Qt\\4.7.4\\bin\". Refer to the Wine User Guide for further details on how to set environmental variables.</p>\n\n<p>Defining the cross-compilation qmake environment</p>\n\n<p>Now for the tricky part. Qt programs are usually compiled with qmake, which takes care of setting the right compiler options. For this purpose some specific config files are required for the target platform. We need to create such a config file, tailored for cross-compilation. As a template we will use the win32 config file, so let's make a copy of the related environment first:</p>\n\n<pre><code>cp -Rfp /usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/win32-g++ /usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/win32-x-g++\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>We have to edit /usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/win32-x-g++/qmake.conf and replace the default compilers gcc and g++ with the cross-compilers provided by the MinGW package, along with other options. Ours looks like this:</p>\n\n<pre><code>#\n# qmake configuration for win32-g++\n#\n# Written for MinGW\n#\n\nMAKEFILE_GENERATOR = MINGW\nTEMPLATE = app\nCONFIG += qt warn_on release link_prl copy_dir_files debug_and_release debug_and_release_target precompile_header\nQT += core gui\nDEFINES += UNICODE QT_LARGEFILE_SUPPORT\nQMAKE_COMPILER_DEFINES += __GNUC__ WIN32\n\nQMAKE_EXT_OBJ = .o\nQMAKE_EXT_RES = _res.o\n\nQMAKE_CC = i586-mingw32msvc-gcc\nQMAKE_LEX = flex\nQMAKE_LEXFLAGS =\nQMAKE_YACC = byacc\nQMAKE_YACCFLAGS = -d\nQMAKE_CFLAGS =\nQMAKE_CFLAGS_DEPS = -M\nQMAKE_CFLAGS_WARN_ON = -Wall\nQMAKE_CFLAGS_WARN_OFF = -w\nQMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE = -O2\nQMAKE_CFLAGS_DEBUG = -g\nQMAKE_CFLAGS_YACC = -Wno-unused -Wno-parentheses\n\nQMAKE_CXX = i586-mingw32msvc-g++\nQMAKE_CXXFLAGS = $$QMAKE_CFLAGS\nQMAKE_CXXFLAGS_DEPS = $$QMAKE_CFLAGS_DEPS\nQMAKE_CXXFLAGS_WARN_ON = $$QMAKE_CFLAGS_WARN_ON\nQMAKE_CXXFLAGS_WARN_OFF = $$QMAKE_CFLAGS_WARN_OFF\nQMAKE_CXXFLAGS_RELEASE = $$QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE\nQMAKE_CXXFLAGS_DEBUG = $$QMAKE_CFLAGS_DEBUG\nQMAKE_CXXFLAGS_YACC = $$QMAKE_CFLAGS_YACC\nQMAKE_CXXFLAGS_THREAD = $$QMAKE_CFLAGS_THREAD\nQMAKE_CXXFLAGS_RTTI_ON = -frtti\nQMAKE_CXXFLAGS_RTTI_OFF = -fno-rtti\nQMAKE_CXXFLAGS_EXCEPTIONS_ON = -fexceptions -mthreads\nQMAKE_CXXFLAGS_EXCEPTIONS_OFF = -fno-exceptions\n\nQMAKE_INCDIR = /usr/i586-mingw32msvc/include/\nQMAKE_INCDIR_QT = /home/matteo/.wine/drive_c/Qt/4.7.4/include\nQMAKE_LIBDIR_QT = /home/matteo/.wine/drive_c/Qt/4.7.4/lib\n\nQMAKE_RUN_CC = $(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $(INCPATH) -o $obj $src\nQMAKE_RUN_CC_IMP = $(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $(INCPATH) -o $@ $<\nQMAKE_RUN_CXX = $(CXX) -c $(CXXFLAGS) $(INCPATH) -o $obj $src\nQMAKE_RUN_CXX_IMP = $(CXX) -c $(CXXFLAGS) $(INCPATH) -o $@ $<\n\nQMAKE_LINK = i586-mingw32msvc-g++\nQMAKE_LINK_C = i586-mingw32msvc-gcc\nQMAKE_LFLAGS = -mthreads -Wl,-enable-stdcall-fixup -Wl,-enable-auto-import -Wl,-enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc -mwindows\nQMAKE_LFLAGS_EXCEPTIONS_ON = -mthreads -Wl\nQMAKE_LFLAGS_EXCEPTIONS_OFF =\nQMAKE_LFLAGS_RELEASE = -Wl,-s\nQMAKE_LFLAGS_DEBUG =\nQMAKE_LFLAGS_CONSOLE = -Wl,-subsystem,console\nQMAKE_LFLAGS_WINDOWS = -Wl,-subsystem,windows\nQMAKE_LFLAGS_DLL = -shared\nQMAKE_LINK_OBJECT_MAX = 10\nQMAKE_LINK_OBJECT_SCRIPT= object_script\n\n\nQMAKE_LIBS =\nQMAKE_LIBS_CORE = -lkernel32 -luser32 -lshell32 -luuid -lole32 -ladvapi32 -lws2_32\nQMAKE_LIBS_GUI = -lgdi32 -lcomdlg32 -loleaut32 -limm32 -lwinmm -lwinspool -lws2_32 -lole32 -luuid -luser32 -ladvapi32\nQMAKE_LIBS_NETWORK = -lws2_32\nQMAKE_LIBS_OPENGL = -lglu32 -lopengl32 -lgdi32 -luser32\nQMAKE_LIBS_COMPAT = -ladvapi32 -lshell32 -lcomdlg32 -luser32 -lgdi32 -lws2_32\nQMAKE_LIBS_QT_ENTRY = -lmingw32 -lqtmain\n\n#!isEmpty(QMAKE_SH) {\n MINGW_IN_SHELL = 1\n QMAKE_DIR_SEP = /\n QMAKE_QMAKE ~= s,\\\\\\\\,/,\n QMAKE_COPY = cp\n QMAKE_COPY_DIR = xcopy /s /q /y /i\n QMAKE_MOVE = mv\n QMAKE_DEL_FILE = rm\n QMAKE_MKDIR = mkdir\n QMAKE_DEL_DIR = rmdir\n QMAKE_CHK_DIR_EXISTS = test -d\n#} else {\n# QMAKE_COPY = copy /y\n# QMAKE_COPY_DIR = xcopy /s /q /y /i\n# QMAKE_MOVE = move\n# QMAKE_DEL_FILE = del\n# QMAKE_MKDIR = mkdir\n# QMAKE_DEL_DIR = rmdir\n# QMAKE_CHK_DIR_EXISTS = if not exist\n#}\n\nQMAKE_MOC = $$[QT_INSTALL_BINS]$${DIR_SEPARATOR}moc-qt4\nQMAKE_UIC = $$[QT_INSTALL_BINS]$${DIR_SEPARATOR}uic-qt4\nQMAKE_IDC = $$[QT_INSTALL_BINS]$${DIR_SEPARATOR}idc-qt4\n\nQMAKE_IDL = midl\nQMAKE_LIB = ar -ru\nQMAKE_RC = i586-mingw32msvc-windres\nQMAKE_ZIP = zip -r -9\n\nQMAKE_STRIP = i586-mingw32msvc-strip\nQMAKE_STRIPFLAGS_LIB += --strip-unneeded\nload(qt_config)\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Tip: if you encounter any problems while setting up the config file, have a look at the script which comes with this tutorial, which automates every single step.</p>\n\n<p>Bonus: set up a cross-architecture environment</p>\n\n<p>Many new machines are built with a 64-bit architecture. If you are developing on one of these, chances are that you also want to produce 32-bit binaries that can be run on older computers. This is easily achieved, because the Ubuntu package provides both versions of the libraries. There is only one line to be added to the config file, do it by running:</p>\n\n<pre><code>echo \"QMAKE_LIBDIR_QT = /usr/lib32/\" >>/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/linux-g++-32/qmake.conf\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>As for the windows environment, Nokia only provides 32-bit versions of the Qt libraries, which should already be compatible with both architectures. The setup we presented will already produce this kind of executables. If you want to optimize the binaries for 64-bit environments there are a few options:</p>\n\n<pre><code>Acquire a payed license for Qt from Nokia. Their support desk will then provide 64-bit binaries upon request.\nDownload the source code from the Nokia website, and compile Qt yourself for 64-bit environments.\nDownload and install unofficial (untrusted!) binaries you might be able to find in the Internet.\n</code></pre>\n",

<p>Every time I log in, I get the same default icons despite having removed them and added new ones (by right-clicking on apps like skype and pressing "keep in launcher"). I hope I have explained my problem thoroughly - I am an ubuntun00b. Is this just a bug and is it fixable, or am I missing something here?</p>

<p>I recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 and wiped 10.10. Since my old built-in graphics card is incapable of 3D acceleration, I tried using Ubuntu Classic. After logging in, I was greeted by a choppy background and flickering menus. (I have NEVER had this problem in Ubuntu 10.10). So I even tried logging in using Ubuntu Classic (No effects), the screen was much better this time, but the panels were a little messed up and it crashed on me several times after a few minutes.</p>
<p>I have a Pentium 4 2.66 GHz. 1.5GB RAM. Built in graphics Intel Extreme Graphics 2 96MB memory (I think it's shared not built in memory).</p>
<p>Is it a problem with my graphics card or driver?</p>
<p>Please help.</p>

<p>Also, when I press <code>ctrl + alt + f1-6</code> to access the cli without the gui I get that error as well.

I've also installed startupmanager as advised in the link. None of the configuration options in it seem to make any difference.</p>
<p>I'm using Xubuntu though I don't think that has anything to do with it.</p>
<p>Nevermind. I edited the resolution to 1024x768 for grub2 and it worked. I don't understand why 640x480 didn't, but it's working so. I was going to put it in the answers but I can't. I'll come back later and do it.</p>

When I logged in I noticed my desktop icons looks very strange, as if they were being stretched. I could not click on them either. I finally discovered that if I turn off my second monitor that the desktop displays correctly and I can click on the icons again. When I turn on the second monitor, Ubuntu is stretching the desktop across both monitors. The icons are not placed in the correct location and therefore I am not able to click on them.</p>
<p>Is there any way to correct this?</p>
<p>Thank you for your time.</p>

38301 | 1 | 38317 | 2011-04-30T04:21:51.497 | 2 | 3303 | <p>There are two prior questions that tangentially touch on this <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/1668/how-do-i-dual-boot-with-debian">here</a> & <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/16707/what-exactly-does-ubuntu-share-with-other-debian-based-distributions">here</a>. It's not really what I'm after though.</p>
<p>I plan on installing Debian Squeeze & Ubuntu Natty in a dual-boot scenario. In both cases I'll be using amd64 builds.</p>
<p>There are obvious similarities between these distros and I wonder if I can leverage this to my advantage in some way. I also wonder if these similarities will cause me any foreseeable problems, perhaps with Grub2, .bashrc, etc.</p>
<p>Specifically, I wonder if it's advisable to share the /home partition. Packages will in general be more bleeding edge with Natty. Will this cause problems with configuration files that reside in /home?</p>
<p>While I'm at it, I may as well ask:</p>
<ul>
<li>Does it matter which distro I install first?</li>
<li>Are there any other directories that could be shared - not just for the sake of being tricky, but because it would be advantageous to do so?</li>
</ul>
<p>I assume I can safely share the swap partition. Suppose sharing /home isn't a good idea then I'm left with one-too-many primary partitions: </p>
<ul>
<li>/ [debian; ext4]</li>
<li>/home [debian; ext4]</li>
<li>/ [ubuntu; ext4]</li>
<li>/home [ubuntu; ext4]</li>
<li>swap [debian/ubuntu]</li>
</ul>
<p>Do I overcome this by using swap files? Or should I use extended partitions?</p>
<p>Cheers.</p>

<p>I want my cake and to eat it too. And in Linux I can usually do that. (And it's free cake!) I'm a little shocked that it hasn't been easier (or as far as I know, even possible) to change the keyboard shortcuts for Unity. Someone suggested in another post that the Unity launcher can be changed from Super to Ctrl + Super, then I can map the other keybindings that I want. But I like a lot of the features that Unity has with only pressing the Super key (I find it a lot easier to press Super+e than Ctrl+Super+e). However, I want to be able to change what some of the bindings in Unity are, primarily change Super+t from opening trash to opening a terminal (currently Ctrl+Alt+t). </p>
<p>With that background, here is my question: is Unity working on allowing users to customize the keybindings to their preference?</p>

<p>For example: I installed 11.04 and the default media player banshee makes my laptop crash after a few minutes of playing music. Since the system completely freezes and there is not error message it's hard to find out what is wrong.</p>
<p>Second problem I have is that sometimes the system crashes to login. I am suspecting it to be a Chromium or Flash but I am not 100% sure.</p>
<p>So anybody got some tips on how to debug stuff like this?</p>

<p>I run Ubuntu 10.04 LTS for month without any problems on my notebook.
Now I want to upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04.
I booted from the Ubuntu 11.04 LiveCD without any problems. Everything was working stable.
So I decided to install Ubuntu 11.04 to my harddisk.
The installation process run without any problems too.</p>
<p>But after installation was finished and the reboot came, the system hangs after GRUB was loaded with a black screen an the flashing cursor in the top left corner.</p>
<p>When I choose Recovery Mode in Grub I get some pages with logs scrolling very fast and ended with "Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!"</p>
<p>If I add "acpi=off" to Grub, the system starts and I can use Unity as well.
But now I don't have acpi features and my wireless card is not detected, too.
So anybody now what the problem could be?</p>

<p>Hello all,</p>
<p>I have noticed that, having the Unity on Ubuntu 11.04 in its default configuration, when I move the mouse to the left border of my desktop, the Unity launcher appears "fairly slow" (i.e: it takes 0.5 sec to show up). On the other hand, if I move the mouse to the top left corner of my screen, the Unity launcher shows up instantly.</p>
<p>Is there any way to change the "reaction speed" of the launcher? It bother me a bit this aprox. half a second that it takes to show up.</p>
<p>Am I the only one complaining about this? I couldn't find any information about this "issue" so far.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I'm using unity-2d in ubuntu 11.04 since 3d version is not working good in virtual machines (i use virtualbox from MacOS X). All works fine except auto-hide. </p>
<p>With windows and Mac OS i get user for taskbar to be permanently on the screen - so i have issued "gconf-editor" and changed auto-hide for unity from "2" to "0". This stops it from hiding, but now all windows that i start (firefox, explorer etc) completely ignores unity taskbar and alignes themself on the left side of screen as if taskbar is hidden :(. </p>
<p>Is it any way to fix it and make fullscreen / newly created windows to correctly align themselves on the right side of taskbar and not ignore it?</p>

I originally installed Ubuntu 10.10 using Wubi so I could have Windows and Linux to choose from at boot up. All worked great up until yesterday when I tried to install Ubuntu 11.04 using Wubi.</p>
<p>Now after the install when I rebooted the Windows boot manager has the option to choose Windows or Ubuntu, when I choose Ubuntu this is what it says:</p>
<pre><code>Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, and then click "Next".
3. Click "Repair your computer "
If you don't have this disc, contact your system administrator it computer manufacturer for assistance.

<p>I can boot into Windows just fine from the bootloader menu. I tried to uninstall Wubi, deleted the files associated with Wubi, then tried to do a side by side install of Ubuntu 11.04 using a downloaded ISO from Ubuntu's website. I burned it to a disc and booted the CD and did the install that way.</p>
<p>Still I got the same error screen as listed above.</p>
<p>Any ideas as to how I can fix GRUB or add GRUB to my boot up menu so I can boot into Ubuntu 11.04?</p>

</blockquote>
<p>Okay, on a fresh install of 11.04 unity there are default icons; these inclide libreoffice, ubuntu software center, ubuntu one, etc. When I try to modify these, as in remove them form the launcher or add new ones to the launcher, all is well until I restart my computer or log back in - all my modifications are erased and the the same default sequence remains (libreoffice, ubuntu, software center, ubuntu one).</p>
<p>During sessions I added applications to the launcher, for example banshee and pidgin, by clicking and dragging. I made sure the option "keep in launcher" was checked for each app. Also I removed firefox and ubuntu one from the launcher, and rearranged applications. Yet every time I log out or reboot my computer, the launcher is resetted to its default settings. Firefox and ubuntu one, are back in the launcher; banshee and pidgin are gone and the order of the applications on the launcher are restored. </p>
<p>What can be possibly be the problem? Furthermore I could not add chrome to the launcher by dragging. I found a thread on <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/771172" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Bug 771172</a> - Custom Unity Launcher entries not from.local/share/applications. </p>
<p>I tried the same by moving google-chrome.desktop to /usr/share/applications , and then it DID work, and I could add google-chrome on the launcher by dragging. Yet still when I rebooted, the settings of the launcher were restored and google-chrome removed. I have got no idea what the origin of the problem could be. I searched the internet and the forums intensively, but I haven't found anyone with the same problem yet.</p>

<h2>Update</h2>
<p>I have been playing around to try and get it around. Since I don't know what I am doing I am trying random things. Thus far I think I have found a way to connect that works everytime.</p>
<ol>
<li>Boot the laptop while connected with a cable.</li>
<li>Disable WiFi by right clicking the network manager</li>
<li>Disable WiFi by using the physical button on my laptop</li>
<li>Enable WiFi with said button</li>
<li>Enable WiFi by right clicking the network manager</li>
<li>After a little while it connects</li>
</ol>
<p>Could it be related to this <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/19171/slow-wireless-reconnect-after-suspend">problem?</a></p>
<p>Any novel ideas on what this might be related to? Is there a setting that isn't properly enabled during booting?</p>
<h2>Update 2</h2>
<p>I tried to do the steps above without being connected with a cable on boot (Step 1) but it didn't work. But the moment I plugged in the cable, it must have kickstarted the Network Manager, because it immediately started connecting to my wireless.</p>
<p>I strongly feel that this is issue is connected to Network Manager not being initialized correctly. Any one with intimate knowledge of NM who can enlighten me? Or maybe even tell me how to test reinitializing NM after boot?</p>

38469 | 1 | null | 2011-04-30T14:59:50.580 | 3 | 1108 | <p>I just did the great jump from Windows to Ubuntu on my Toshiba Satelite T135. It works wonderful tough I have a couple of problems. I can't change my screen brightness at all and the fan sensors don't work as they have to.<br> <br>
When I used windows the fans were working very silently almost all the time except when the temperature was above 56°c so the laptop fan worked until the ideal temperature was reached, which was 50°c. <p>Now In Ubuntu they work silently even if its above 59°c and only work at high speeds when it is very hot and what is worse is that when it gets even hotter, the fan seem to interpret that it is in the ideal temp so they wont work at all!<p>
I have installed the following software:
<p>·libsensors4<br>
·lm-sensors<BR>
·fancontrol<br>
·toshset<br>
·toshutils
<p> But with none of this I can did anything except from some sensor testing. Something interesting is that toshset and toshutils don't run at all, toshet gives this when I run it: "required kernel toshiba support not enabled." and toshutils: "laptop does not have cooling fan or kernel module not installed". <p>
Sorry If the solution is too obvious but I am stuck here, maybe is stupid but I think this Baclkight and Fan problem is something related with the ACPI, because with Ubuntu 10.10 i had to add "acpi=off" to the "silent splash" thing before booting or it wouldn't boot and stop in something that sayed kernel_thread_helper or something I don't remember. (Now I am in Ubuntu 11.04) <br> I really appreciate if someone could help me! Thanks!</p>
