I've replaced every start-here icon in the theme's folder, but I was told that Ubuntu also keeps a cache file, which may be the reason my changes do not take effect. How can I properly purge this "icon cache"?</p>

38487 | 1 | 39022 | 2011-04-30T16:26:37.890 | 0 | 780 | <p>I recently installed Ubuntu 11 64 bit server on my Power Edge 1650. When Gnome loads, I receive no flickering of any sort -- everything looks beautiful. I can login just fine.</p>
<p>However, after the desktop loads, the application bar disappears and I can't click anything. It remains gone, though I can move the mouse. It flashes up for a second, until I move the mouse, and then the process repeats over again -- with everything disappearing. I can't use commands until the application appears. For instance, Ctrl+Alt+F1 won't work until the application bar reappears.</p>
<p>All software is brand new out of the box, with default configurations. It feels like a video card configuration, but this isn't just some desktop computer I've loaded ubuntu on -- it's a popular server-class blade, so I'm not sure why this would be happening?</p>
<p>This is my first experience with Gnome and Ubuntu (and linux) -- I have no experience, and my searches are of little help. Any help is appreciated.</p>
<p>As another note, I received a message saying something along the lines of <strong>hardware not supported for unity</strong> the first time I loaded the GUI.</p>

<p>I've checked perms and the like, but I'm no expert on quicklist syntax so I figured I'd ask here since others may be having this problem if they've done an inline upgrade from Lucid or Karmic.</p>
<p>After logging back in, the icon disappears completely as if there's some type of syntax error. </p>
<p>I'm pretty sure the OnlyShowIn line might be affecting it - is this the case and which lines can I safely nuke from the "Gnome" list before the desktop shortcuts? Is there a specific log file I can tail to take a look at why this might be failing?</p>

<p>i upgraded from 10.10. after all the upgrades/updates and went to reboot. the system would freeze when starting the services, i would turn it off and on again. the freeze is random. i.e. starting apache2 [ok]..then later..checking battery state..then later..starting nfs [ok]...</p>
<p>i went to recovery mode and removed some of the services. but it still wont work.</p>
<p>any ideas how to go fix this?</p>

38519 | 1 | 38564 | 2011-04-30T18:23:57.050 | 1 | 174 | <p>In Ubuntu 11.04 using Unity or Gnome Classic the same visual bug is there. The option selected for a network connection is not highlighted enough so it is very hard to know which one is selected. In the following picture you can see the example where no option appears brighter than the others so i do not know which one is the one selected in case where i want to share a connection or have several connection options available.</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/vFcq2.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
<p>UPDATE - Just in case nobody noticed. The <strong>Intel* and **Auto Ethernet</strong> options can both be selected using the first card there (The Wired Intel 8255DC-2). The problem is that the <strong>Auto Ethernet</strong> does not appear highlighted or brighter than the <strong>Intel</strong> option which can also be selected with the same NIC. Do not confuse the picture with the gray options. You can even notice that the Disconnect option is the same bright white than the "Selected" option.</p>
<p>UPDATE2 - In the following image from Ubuntu 10.10 you can see that the highlighted connection is more BLACK than the rest. In my case, in the original theme, the option should be more WHITE than the rest.</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/YNdLn.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
<p>Ubuntu 11.04 with more options to show what i mean.</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/4kfiB.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
<p>As you can see in the image, the Intel connection has the same color than the Shared and Realtek ones. If i had more it would confuse more the problem since with a quick glance i would not be able to find the one used at the moment.</p>
<p><strong>So what option do i need to edit to change the selected connection to a brighter color?</strong></p>

<p>And how it should look no matter if i open or not Banshee:</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/09KP7.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
<p>As you can see here, the playlist option appears and i can select my playlist playing the songs in it without having to open Banshee for it. More friendlier. And if you need to edit the playlist then that would be a reason to open Banshee (Apart from the many others of course).</p>

Your last line of output from <code>mountall -v</code> includes the critical clue:</p>\n\n<pre><code>local 4/4 remote 0/0 virtual 12/12 swap 0/0\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>In other words, 0 swap drives mounted, 0 swap drives found in /etc/fstab.</p>\n\n<p>Now why didn't mountall find your swap drive listed in /etc/fstab? Good question. This should probably be a bug against <code>mountall</code>. To diagnose it, I copied your /etc/fstab and ran <code>mountall -v</code> as non-root user. By editing /etc/fstab randomly and continuing to test <code>mountall -v</code>, I found how to change mountall's reported \"swap 0/0\". Just reordering the lines of /etc/fstab was enough to make it change to \"swap 0/1\", in other words, 1 swap drive found in /etc/fstab. With that, it may be enough to boot properly. If not, please post new result of <code>mountall -v</code>.</p>\n",

38539 | 1 | 40441 | 2011-04-30T19:09:10.867 | 3 | 550 | <p>When i type <code>gedit</code> in dash i <strong>HAVE TO</strong> type the complete name gedit to open gedit. Same for empathy, ktorrent and any other program. In ubuntu 10.10 for example i would do an ALT+F2 and then i just type ged and the launcher would see what GUI programs i had for ged (Since gedit was the only one) the launcher would open gedit. Same for typing ktorrent. I would only need to type kto or for empathy only emp. Quicker and you do not need to type the whole thing. more friendlier if you ask me.</p>
<p>For what i see right now, dash has something that the previous launcher did not, you can type torrent and he would mention ktorrent the result list. This would not have worked in the previous one since the word you start typing is how the launcher assumes the command starts.</p>
<p>Dash only needs the option to execute the first GUI program that resembles the word typed. With ged he should be able to open gedit instead of trying to execute the command ged. With emp he should be able to open empathy when i press enter and so on..</p>
<p>How can i change the behavior of this so it works as the previous launcher.</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> The problem arises when i use <kbd>ALT</kbd>+<kbd>F2</kbd> instead of the <kbd>SUPER</kbd> key. Both will make <strong>DASH</strong> (At least the visual Dash) but it will not behave the same.</p>
<p>The following images show <kbd>ALT</kbd>+<kbd>F2</kbd> DASH and <kbd>SUPER</kbd> DASH</p>

<kbd>ALT</kbd>+<kbd>F2</kbd> DASH </p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Zbz0n.png" alt="enter image description here"><br>
<kbd>SUPER</kbd> DASH</p>
<p>AS you can see, when using the ALT+F2 method it does not show the correct GUI tools. When using the SUPER method it does. This was the problem. Now how do i make it so both behave the same way. The SUPER method does not appear on the Keyboard Shortcuts.</p>

<p>When I log in there are no window borders around anything. Also when I log in it is running some theme that looks like it was designed in the 90's. But as soon as I bring up the "appearance" settings it flicks straight to the correct display theme: "ambience" without me changing anything!! Still no window borders tho, and at this point the icons on the desktop haven't changed to conform with "ambience" they still look like something out of windows 95 :|</p>
<p>Compiz is running, gtk-window-manager isn't, I can run it manually where I DO get borders, however the problem with the themes still remains. When I put a command to run gtk-window-manager in "startup" again it runs borders on startup, but the theme does the exact same thing.</p>
<p>I am using on board intel graphics, I know they have a bad reputation with Linux :\</p>

<p>Also tried creating a new user account for test purposes and there was no problems with the theme in the new user account. Still no borders tho. <strong>THE PROBLEM WITH BORDERS WAS FIXED IN EDIT 3</strong></p>
<p>Re-installing unity doesn't fix anything.</p>
<p><em>Edit:</em></p>
<p>Problem half solved using the ham-handed approach of re-installing natty. I have window borders permanently now thank god! But when I log in at first my theme is still like windows 95, despite the fact I have it set to 'ambience', it stays like this until I go into 'appearance' where it automatically changes to the correct theme without me actually doing anything! everything reverts back to 'ambience' apart from icons on the desktop which still look ancient.</p>

38616 | 1 | 49904 | 2011-04-30T22:37:39.293 | 2 | 3641 | <p><strong>Question:</strong> Does anyone know of a good workflow for editing large video files via Avidemux, Blender, Openshot, Kdenlive and/or similar programs? </p>
<p><strong>Backstory:</strong>
I shot a 2hr debate on my Canon 550d which resulted in 16 video files of hd 1080p quality, since the sd cards put a 4gb size limit on the length of a single shot. These hd files contain b-frames, which makes it quite hard to edit them because scrubbing the timeline goes all jittery. </p>
<p>Using Avidemux, I've experimented with various codecs: Huffyuv, H.264, FFV1 and FFVHuff. The container format mainly being .avi, and turning "Create OpenDML files" made it possible to create huge .avi files. Earlier I had briefly tried my hand at using .mkv files, but Avidemux kept crashing. </p>
<p>My plan was to import the resulting lossless files into Blender, Kdenlive or Openshot, and it seems that FFVHuff was the only codec that made it possible to move around the timeline in a decent way (at least in Blender). However that was using smaller .avi files. </p>
<p>Just now I tried bunching together five of the original files into a large 40gb .avi file encoded with the FFVHuff codec. I wasn't able to edit the resulting file in Blender nor Openshot. The program would just hang if I jumped to far out into the timeline and try to play the video. So, yeah. My question is at the top. Any assistance, greatly appreciated.</p>

While the phone versions of the apps may be impossible to use, but could the tablet versions be converted? One of the reasons my friend keeps giving me against Ubuntu and Linux in general is the lack of really good software. If we could tap into the Android apps though, it would really open up possibilities!</p>
<hr>
<p>If you use a Jailbroken iPhone, you'll notice that all cydia apps are in the .deb form.</p>
<p>And yeah, I'm aware that there is really great software for Linux, but sometimes I feel it lacks, especially in the gaming section (Fingers crossed for OpenMorrowind). Imagine being able to run Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja and Plants vs Zombies natively on Ubuntu. Or, imagine some of the great Ipad Apps like Dragon Dictation or heck, even Infinity Blade!</p>
<p>The possibilities would be endless.</p>

The upgrade appeared to be running properly and I went to do something and when I came back, the screen was black and I couldn't get any response from the PC. I reset the sytem. Here is the problem, on boot the GRUB menu appears normally(but with the 10.10 system displayed instead of 11.04) I can select the VISTA OS and the system starts normally. If I select the Ubuntu OS, I eventually get the following error:</p>
<p>init: udevtrigger main process (448) terminated with status 1
init: udevtrigger post-stop process (452) terminated with status 1
init: udevmonitor main process (447) killed by TERM signal</p>
<p>The disk drive for / is not ready or not present
Continue to wait; or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery"</p>
<p>All partitions are recognized by fsck -l.
I tried to boot from a live cd of 11.04, but I keep being sent to the GRUB menu.
Can someone help me get past this hiccup? It seems that GRUB didn't update and just needs to be directed where to look for linux package. I am just learning about Linux, but am willing to put some time into it. I just need some direction.
Thanks!</p>

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

<p>It seems I was able to install <code>libdrizzle</code> with the following instructions:</p>
<pre><code>sudo apt-add-repository ppa:drizzle-developers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdrizzle1

<p>After this I was able to install Gearman, however, I was unable to install the PECL module. The module seems to be no longer supported. I was able to install it like this:</p>

It works fine up to Ubuntu 10.10 (64bit), but in Ubuntu 11.04 (64 bit), the Vuescan window does not launch under Unity or in Classic mode or in Classic mode - no effects. It does run normally in Safe mode. </p>
<p>I discovered through trial and error that if I turn OFF the Window Decoration plugin in Compiz (via the CCSM), Vuescan starts normally and opens its GUI window. I can then turn Window Decorations back ON via the CCSM and everything works OK with the window decorations, including Vuescan. </p>
<p>As a workaround until either Vuescan is fixed or the Compiz/Unity window decorator is fixed, I would like to start Vuescan with a script, BASH preferably, that would first turn OFF Window Decorations, then start Vuescan (this part is easy and I know how to do it), and then turn Window Decorations back ON. I'm not familiar enough with Compiz and how to communicate with it via Dbus, specifically as it is implemented in Ubuntu 11.04, to be able to do this script on my own. </p>
<p>Any help much appreciated!</p>

38733 | 1 | 38796 | 2011-05-01T08:18:55.837 | 25 | 20812 | <p>I'm playing around with <a href="http://www.manpagez.com/man/1/dbus-monitor/" rel="noreferrer">dbus-monitor</a> to try and understand how dbus is working in Ubuntu environment. I have several questions in this regard:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Could you please let me know how to read the following properly? I understand the big idea, but not the details.</p>
<pre><code>signal sender=:1.1948 -> dest=(null destination) serial=1829990 path=/org/ayatana/menu/DA00003; interface=org.ayatana.dbusmenu; member=ItemPropertyUpdated
int32 23
string "enabled"
variant boolean true
method call sender=:1.6 -> dest=org.freedesktop.Notifications serial=1399 path=/org/freedesktop/Notifications; interface=org.freedesktop.Notifications;
member=GetCapabilities
</code></pre>
<p>I get that the first one is a signal whereas the second is a method. Does <em>destination</em> mean there can be a specific receiver/slot for a signal? What's a <em>member</em>? And are the items of the list following the signal the arguments passed in the signal? What are <em>sender</em> and <em>serials</em>?</p></li>
<li><p>I noticed something about the relationship between volume-control and notifications. From what I read from the dbus-monitor output</p>
<pre><code>method call sender=:1.6 -> dest=org.freedesktop.Notifications serial=1400 path=/org/freedesktop/Notifications; interface=org.freedesktop.Notifications; member=Notify
string "gnome-settings-daemon"
uint32 0
string "notification-audio-volume-medium"
string " "
string ""
array [
]
array [
dict entry(
string "value"
variant int32 38
)
dict entry(
string "x-canonical-private-synchronous"
variant string "volume"
)
]
int32 -1
</code></pre>
<p>It seems that the notification is triggered by its method. I just don't really understand why it works this way. In my view it would make more sense if there was a signal emitted <em>"notification-audio-volume-medium"</em> while the notification would listen for this signal and react accordingly. If the sending / receiving would be public rather than private, wouldn't it allow for more flexibility and efficiency? For instance if there was a public signal for <em>"notification-audio-volume-medium"</em> then several applications could listen for this signal (which would allow for competing notification applications to come to existence) and developers would just have to be concerned with sending signals, while picking up and handling a signal would be the notifying application's business (or any other program that needs those signals).</p></li>
<li><p>I'm just new to Dbus and want to learn more as I am working with Dbus on Python, mainly to develop some applets. I've seen <a href="http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-python/doc/tutorial.html" rel="noreferrer">the dbus-python tutorial</a> and it teaches how to listen to all signals (by specifying neither interface nor path etc.) But how to track methods when they are called, like dbus-monitor does?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>If you have the patience to teach how that works, you're welcome.</p>

"accepted": true,
"body": "<h1>D-Bus introduction</h1>\n\n<ul>\n<li><p>D-Bus provides means for communicating between <em>services</em>. Services can be <em>anonymous</em> (identified solely by bus address, like :1.6), and services can aquire <em>well-known names</em>, like <code>org.freedesktop.Notifications</code> or <code>org.freedesktop.NetworkManager</code>. The sender and destination which you can see in the logs are services. \"Null destination\" means broadcast: delivery to all services.</p></li>\n<li><p>A service can export one or several <em>objects</em> to the bus. Objects are given <em>object paths</em>, like <code>/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/1</code> or <code>/org/ayatana/menu/DA00003</code>. Object paths use slash as separator, like filesystem paths.</p></li>\n<li><p>Each object can support one or several <em>interfaces</em>. An interface is nothing more than a set of methods and signals, coloquially known as <em>members</em> (very similar to OOP interface). Methods and signals have fixed signatures. Members are always namespaced within <em>well-known</em> interface names.</p></li>\n<li><p>Once published, well-known names <strong>never change</strong>.</p></li>\n<li><p>Any service can connect to another service's signals and asynchronously call its methods. Any service can emit signals.</p></li>\n</ul>\n\n<h1>Signals</h1>\n\n<p>Now to your specific questions.</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n<pre>signal sender=:1.1948 -> dest=(null destination) serial=1829990 path=/org/ayatana/menu/DA00003; interface=org.ayatana.dbusmenu; member=ItemPropertyUpdated\nint32 23\nstring \"enabled\"\nvariant boolean true\n</pre>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>Yes, you're right, this is a signal. It's broadcasted by service <code>:1.1948</code>, and \"self\" object is <code>/org/ayatana/menu/DA00003</code>. The signal has name <code>ItemPropertyUpdated</code> which is defined in the interface <code>org.ayatana.dbusmenu</code> (like <code>org.ayatana.dbusmenu::ItemPropertyUpdated</code> in C++). The serial, I guess, is a kind of unique identifier of the event on the bus.</p>\n\n<p>Then we see the signal arguments. According to the <a href=\"http://web.archive.org/web/20110831151230/http://people.canonical.com/~agateau/dbusmenu/spec/classorg_1_1ayatana_1_1dbusmenu.html\">interface documentation</a>, the first int32 argument is an item's id, second string is its property name, and the third variant is the property value. So, the <code>/org/ayatana/menu/DA00003</code> object is notifying us \nthat the item id #23 changed its <code>enabled</code> property to true.</p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<p>Another example on signals:</p>\n\n<pre>signal sender=:1.1602 -> dest=(null destination) serial=20408 path=/im/pidgin/purple/PurpleObject; interface=im.pidgin.purple.PurpleInterface; member=SendingChatMsg\n int32 47893\n string \"test\"\n uint32 1\nsignal sender=:1.1602 -> dest=(null destination) serial=20409 path=/im/pidgin/purple/PurpleObject; interface=im.pidgin.purple.PurpleInterface; member=IrcSendingText\n int32 64170\n string \"PRIVMSG #chat :test\n</pre>\n\n<p>I sent a text message \"test\" using Pidgin to an IRC channel, and <code>/im/pidgin/purple/PurpleObject</code> emitted two signals under the <code>im.pidgin.purple.PurpleInterface</code> interface: first a general <code>SendingChatMsg</code>, then a more specific <code>IrcSendingText</code>.</p>\n\n<h1>Methods</h1>\n\n<p>Now methods. Methods are a way to ask D-Bus objects to do something, or to perform some query and return data. They are quite similar to classic OOP methods, except that D-Bus methods are called asynchronously.</p>\n\n<p>Let's call a D-Bus method programmatically.</p>\n\n<pre><code>import dbus, dbus.proxies\n\n#-- connect to the session bus (as opposed to the system bus)\nsession = dbus.SessionBus()\n\n#-- create proxy object of D-Bus object\nobj_proxy = dbus.proxies.ProxyObject(conn=session,\n bus_name=\"org.freedesktop.Notifications\", #-- name of the service we are retrieving object from\n object_path=\"/org/freedesktop/Notifications\") #-- the object path\n\n#-- create proxy object of the D-Bus object wrapped into specific interface\nintf_proxy = dbus.proxies.Interface(obj_proxy, \"org.freedesktop.Notifications\")\n\n#-- lastly, create proxy object of the D-Bus method\nmethod_proxy = intf_proxy.get_dbus_method(\"Notify\")\n\n#-- ... and call the method\nmethod_proxy(\"test from python\",\n dbus.UInt32(0),\n \"bluetooth\", #-- icon name\n \"Notification summary\",\n \"Here goes notification body\",\n [], {},\n 5) #-- timeout\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Note the arguments, especially the icon name. In your example <code>\"notification-audio-volume-medium\"</code> was the icon of medium-powered volume speaker. </p>\n\n<h1>Custom services</h1>\n\n<p>It is absolutely possible to run your own D-Bus services, export your own D-Bus objects and define your own D-Bus interfaces with your own methods and signals. This all can be done in Python pretty easily once you grasp the overall concept and read the <code>dbus</code> module documentation. <code>:)</code></p>\n",

So if we're to keep within traditional OO nomenclature, we might want to refer to that `/org...` *object* as `self`.

38775 | 1 | null | 2011-05-01T11:26:37.583 | 1 | 250 | <p>I'm running into a very strange issue related to bittorrent. Back in Maverick, I could download at about 2mbps per torrent. Now, i'll be lucky to get to 100kbps. Not only that, but any other network access slows to a crawl as soon as I start downloading something.</p>
<p>At first I thought it might be my router that was being overwhelmed with all the connections, but I checked my settings and saw that I had already set the global connections limit to 200, and a per torrent setting of 50. I've been able to have a much higher limit in the past, so that shouldn't be it.</p>
<p>Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?</p>
<p>EDIT: To add to the mystery, I'm now using another computer with Natty on. I'm using the same torrents with the same bittorrent client and the same settings, and now it's working beautifully. </p>

<p>And god forbid you install a KDE application in gnome, then you get even more file indexers and recently used tracking! Is there a way to clear everything? Even better would be a way to run the OS in a privacy mode that never even wrote to the disk. How can I disable all caching and thumbnailing and history in the OS? Firefox provides private browsing. IE only allows you to delete the cache when you close IE. Firefox wins! Can I get a private session in Ubuntu? </p>
<p>Also, my company would like to run Ubuntu off an SD card. Limiting the number of writes to update a cache, history or log would be a really good idea. Switching back and forth would be perfect. Right now Zeitgeist is working on a way to clear history, but come on, can we have an option to not write a history at all? Am I missing something here?</p>

The array was initially split in two, I tried to use a create command with the assume clean option to get it back into a single array. I think this did more harm than good because the mdadm default is now to use the 1.2 rather than 0.90 metadata format which I believe caused the metadata to be written over some of my data. This brought into doubt the disk ordering I thought the array should have as this order will not result in a mountable drive so I used a script to test every possible ordering of the five disks and none of them mounted, I then tried the same process only instead of mounting I ran an xfs_check and then a targetted xfs_repair (with the -n option to prevent any actual edits).</p>
<p>All this got me down to a reasonably small collection of disk layouts but I obviously only get one change to try the xfs_repair and the data is far to large to try an backup so I thought having the array run a parity check would be a good idea, I started out with the two array disk orderings I thought most likely to be correct ran check and as it turns out they both had exactly 8 for a mismatch_count and those 8 were discovered almost instantly. How is this possible? The two disk orderings are very different (acbde vs adcbe)...is it possible disk order will have no effect on a parity check? Just on the actual underlying data? If so it might be reasonable to try to run a repair on the array from one of these layouts and then recheck the file-system to see if it can now mount...but I am hesitant to do so as it would be the first step I have taken that intentionally writes more than metadata to the disks.</p>
