39138 | 1 | 39144 | 2011-05-02T09:20:04.320 | 0 | 1022 | <p>I've installed Xubuntu on my laptop last night, and then again on my computer at work, and I came to notice that the Xfce desktop looks so much better on the latter. On my laptop, I get all the panels ordered the same way, but the colours are plain and the icons are very different.
I suspect it has to do with the fact that my laptop's had an xubuntu on itself once, until about 4 months ago, before I went to look at Ubuntu's Netbook Edition.
How can I get the same shiny desktop settings as I have on this fresh, virgin install?</p>

I have my music in the $home/Music folder and I was using Rhythmbox. The Banshee player has a handy item on import suggesting it can pull from Rhythmbox too. When I do it however it comes up with errors for all bar a couple of albums I bought recently via Amazon (mp3). </p>
<p>Any idea what I'm doing wrong? There are errors reported for all the tracks that didn't get pulled in, suggesting it read the file list correctly. I also tried importing by directory with the same results.</p>
<p>The error reported for each track is 'Unable to import song'.</p>
<p>I initially thought perhaps it was a codec issue because I'd just upgraded and presumably the codecs I'd need were no longer on the sources list. I found those and installed them and found all the other ways of playing can deal with the music there. </p>
<p>I then connected to my daapd server and was able to play the music on Banshee from there. This is actually the same music so I'm now guessing it's not a codec issue.</p>

<p>My use case is the following: I have a legacy application in my start up applications that requires the notification area to be running before it can start up (otherwise I get an error about no system tray being around). Therefor I had written a little bash script that checked every few seconds whether <code>notification-area</code> was already in the running programs and if so, it would start up the program.</p>
<p>What program would be the new one to check for?</p>
<p>PS: I realize I could also add a <code>sleep</code> for <em>x</em> seconds and then just run the program regardless, but I see that as an ugly workaround.</p>
<p>Note: This question isn't about allowing the icon to be shown, I have set that setting to <code>all</code> the first day I started using Unity. This is about my program starting up <strong>before</strong> the program that handles the notification area and thus failing because there is simply no systray yet.</p>

<p>When I try to boot into Ubuntu now it cannot find the root filesystem, (I get the option to wait, skip mounting or enter a root terminal). My laptop's keyboard has also decided not to work (this has happened before and it eventually came back, although I do think it's time for a new laptop) - luckily USB continues to work. I am able to boot into my Windows partition so I can assume the hard drive isn't smashed.</p>
<p>My question is how screwed is my Ubuntu install? I have quite a lot of data on the Ubuntu partition - is this lost or will I be able to access it via a live CD? How would I go about manually locating the filesystem in the root terminal? I don't mind reinstalling, but getting the data first is very important (yes, backup is quickly going to be sorted out, damned hindsight).</p>

Mouse cursor is moving but clicking icons and keyboard shortcuts have no effect.
Maybe something went wrong during upgrade procedure. you know, <strong>It did not finished correctly</strong>; <strong>at the last seconds</strong> of installing upgrades it gave an error saying "it can not acquire lock" and exited. I just manually clicked "restart to complete upgrade" from the menu.
<strong>I run the upgrade routine again but it says the system is upgraded.</strong></p>
<p>No shortcut key works, (I hit win key or Alt+F2 but the result is nothing). Yes, Caps lock is working. I mean that when I press it the Caps Lock light turns on).
<strong>I am sure that there is no special process that makes CPU busy</strong>, mouse cursor is moving so fast and my CPU fans are in normal mode and does not make loud noise.
I boot in Recovery mode and typed the upgrade command and as I said it says that the system is already upgraded.
<strong>You know, the situation is very similar to a state that you have a window in front and clicking items in the background has no result.</strong>

39258 | 1 | null | 2011-05-02T14:40:22.357 | 1 | 7890 | <p>Am on 11.04. When I close my laptop lid (NVIDIA graphics - HP Pavilion) it goes onto sleep mode. But when I reopen it, instead of resuming onto the password prompt, it shows me a screen of random blocky colours - typically largely yellow. I have to do a hard reset to restart the PC. Here is an image I took of the problem:</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/srSIu.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p>
<p>Would file it on launchpad but not sure if it is a bug or isolated.</p>
<p>Thanks for any help.</p>

Apparently Natty loads some default modules for handling IR-input and sends them as keyboard input instead of the lirc event I want. This makes my remote useless in XBMC (media center program) since I cannot use it for anything else than navigation. A proposed solution is in this bug report (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/766647) but it is regarding a MCE remote and it doesn't work for my Antec Veris rm200. Until the ubuntu-devs make a permanent fix please tell me how to unload all the conflicting modules?</p>
<p>These are the modules which are loaded on my system:</p>

<p>Before 11.04 I closed the lid, the laptop powered down. When I opened the lid and pressed the power button for a short time it would power up again and I could log in and continue working. </p>
<p>Now there are 2 problems:</p>
<p>a) no power down on lid closed (I am using the 'suspend' from the menu - no idea what this is called in unity -> upper right corner in the panel). <strong>Update:</strong> it does power down I found out it just takes a very long time to trigger (30 seconds or longer)</p>
<p>b) much worse: no power up after suspend. I need to turn off the laptop completely and reboot. I checked and all tools that I know of are installed: acpi-support, laptop-mode-tools, pm-tools </p>
<p>I have no idea how this could be fixed.</p>
<p>The laptop is a Samsung X360 if that helps any. I am not using any proprietary graphics drivers. (I think the graphics card is intel based)</p>
<p>Update: I found the following line in several logfiles in <code>/var/log</code></p>

<p>First, my computer wouldn't boot into the new 11.04. So it gave me a number of options to boot from and i chose and older version and booted into my oldest version that I had of ubuntu. It then booted into a version I had never seen before. The one that had the panel on the left side for the notebooks. That was the first time I had seen that panel on any of my ubuntu installations.</p>
<p>But now that I have been able to boot into 11.04 (I believe to be so) my close, minimize, or maximize buttons are working showing along with all the window edges seem to be missing or not showing. And I can't access my panels so I can't go into the system settings. I have only my dock (AWN) to guide me through. Luckily, i have my browser, terminal, and system monitor on my dock. But my windows are naked and I don't have my panels showing anymore...</p>

39346 | 1 | 39373 | 2011-05-02T18:08:27.747 | 1 | 327 | <p>Is it possible to prevent accidental mounting and/or reformatting of a disk or partition by the root user during normal operation of a system?</p>
<p>For example, this happened to me a while ago:</p>
<ul>
<li>Under normal operation I have <code>/dev/sda1</code> mounted as <code>/</code> and <code>/dev/sdb1</code> mounted as <code>/var/disk2</code>.</li>
<li>On one particular day I rewrote a thumbdrive (<code>/dev/sdc</code>) with different LiveCD images three or four times while trying to repair another computer.</li>
<li>One of those times I unmounted <code>/dev/sdb1</code> instead of <code>/dev/sdc1</code> and overwrote <code>sdb1</code> with a new filesystem, by mistake.</li>
</ul>
<p>Normally you have to be root to do anything with low level filesystem access on any storage device.</p>
<p>What I'd like is to be able to lock myself out of <code>/dev/sda</code> and <code>/dev/sdb</code> any time I'm running the live operating system from <code>/dev/sda1</code> (as opposed to having booted from a LiveCD which I would never want to place any limits upon.)</p>
<p><em>Update in response to loevborg (thanks):</em> I think what I really need is complete unrestricted access to <code>/dev/sdc</code> (or any other device that might show up when I plug in a USB block device) as a non-root user. Is this possible -- erasing, creating a filesystem, mounting -- as non-root if I set permissions somewhere or add myself to the correct group?</p>

I've managed learning wine and winetricks a bit better and now I have the following error dialogues when trying to launch the application. What I wonder is if these have anything to do with a missing dependency or parts of the program itself?</p>

<ul>
<li>I don't know</li>
<li>Yes, I already know the fix for this problem.</li>
<li>Yes, The problem began right after doing a system software update.</li>
<li>Yes, I have gone through technical support, and they have referred me here.</li>
<li>No, please point me to a good place to get support.</li>
</ul>
<p>"I don't know" and "No..." both give a dialog with links to askubuntu and ubuntu.com/support and end the bug report without sending.</p>
<p>If I found a bug that I want to report, the only applicable yes is "Yes, The problem began after doing a system software update."</p>
<p>This implies that the developers are interested in regressions, but not new bugs.</p>
<p>My understanding was that askubuntu is for help and not for bug reports. Is this dialog merely to help askubuntu to relieve the developers of technical support tasks? (An admirable goal, but I'd assume users who are asked to post to AU and then report the same issue to launchpad will lose enthusiasm -- perhaps it's worth it if "junk bugs" are drastically reduced.) When is something not technical support?</p>
<hr>
<p>For context, the bug I want to report is that when using Scale and switching my selection with the keyboard, Chromium does not display the same selection shadow as other windows (gnome-terminal, nautilus). I'm not looking for help to find a workaround (I can turn on window highlighting in Scale Add-on).</p>
<p>However, I cannot honestly answer Yes to any of the questions.</p>

<p>I can redefine the paths, but then I get compile errors because only gcc 4.3 is supported through ROOT and Natty uses 4.5.

39384 | 1 | 44688 | 2011-05-02T19:39:06.007 | 1 | 2127 | <p>I want to umount NFS drive at shutdown/restart. I connect to it with my laptop, and due to known bug, the system shuts down for ten minutes, instead for 20 seconds, when the NFS is mounted. I used to umount it in MAverick with K02umount script in /etc/rc0.d and rc6.d but after the upgrade, it does not seem to work anymore. So, I try to write an upstart job, which will do it for me i tried </p>
<pre><code>#start on stopping network
start on net-device-down IFACE!=lo
task
# I tried with start on runlevel [!2345], too
script
exec /home/deckoff/Desktop/umount
end script
</code></pre>
<p>umount is </p>
<pre><code>umount /media/MyBookLive
</code></pre>
<p>and will work OK, when executed manually
It seems this i sneer executed on shutdown or restart. I want to find a way to find event, that will be early enough, so the script has enough execute. I read that the problem is because the network is down before unmount, so unmount is killed by timeout.
I look for even that will happen before the network disconnect. Manually disconnecting actually does the trick...</p>

There is a specific script that is run during the shutdown just to unmount NFS filesystems at the best time. If it is taking 10 minutes thats a pretty big problem, and should be reported and escalated as a bug we should fix in Ubuntu. You can specify the 'noauto' flag and it will not be mounted at boot time, so you can still control it with 'mount' and only mount it when you want to.</p>\n\n<p>Finally, you may want to just do your unmount in a script in /etc/network/if-pre-down.d .. I have never tried this, but at least it will run before the network interface is deconfigured, so you have a chance to close the connections and sync data properly. Read <code>man 5 interfaces</code> for more on that.</p>\n",

<p>Why are the translations getting updated when there are no <em>actual</em> changes?</p>

39401 | 1 | 39449 | 2011-05-02T20:15:14.070 | 1 | 1044 | <p>I recently got a used external hard drive from a relative, and decided that I would like to have a fresh system around, so I can program, etc. without all of my junk around. I downloaded the 10.10 installer, and burned it to a DVD. When I go through the installer, I don't find an option to switch which disk Ubuntu gets installed on, as in 10.04. Is this gone, and I need to use the long, complicated scripts that I am unable to use, as I don't have a working internet connection?</p>
<p>Right now, <strong>all I want is to have a simple yes/no</strong> about whether the drop-down menu for installing to a different drive is gone, <strong>or instructions on finding it somewhere else</strong>. A link to alternate (easy) installation methods would be appreciated if the menu is gone.</p>
<p>Don't think anyone will find this useful, but here is my setup:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ubuntu 10.10 for PPC Live CD</li>
<li>eMac</li>
<li>Western Digital 160 GB Enhanced IDE Hard Drive (Model WD1600JB) connected by FireWire</li>

<p>I have run Ubuntu off a live USB stick on my tablet computer. However, the touch screen behaves erratically - in different ways for different versions, too.</p>
<p>In version 10.10, no presses are detected by the computer, unless I press with two fingers, at which point the cursor will jump to one of the fingers, but not click.</p>
<p>In version 11.04, the pointer moves with one finger but still doesn't click. Sometimes it clicks but only on a few controls.</p>
<p>In both versions, plugging in a mouse didn't work - the mouse merely moves around, with clicks not at all being noticed.</p>
<p>Is there any software or things available to rectify this situation? Thanks in advance for any answers.</p>

<p>Ok, so I was running fine on 10.04 then I thought "why not upgrade to 11.04"</p>
<p>So I did and a some bad stuff happened. Once I boot or try install the screen goes very faint were you cannot read the screen so I cant install, and when I do install I can use the OS because I cant see what I'm doing.</p>
<p>So how can I go back to 10.04? Will I just download the ISO and burn it to a disc then use that or will I need to format first? and if so, how?</p>
<p>Sorry for being a no0b but I'm without a pc and I need it for coursework. (I'm using the Live CD with "try Ubuntu without installing").</p>

<p>A use case: I read PDFs on a netbook on a daily basis. Even with fullscreen, I have to scroll about every 10-15 seconds. Without smooth scroll, I have to spend a half second or so to "find" my place. Even though it seems like a small inconvenience, the increments add up quite fast. As a result, I look enviously at owners of a certain well-known tablet far too often.</p>

39436 | 1 | 40570 | 2011-05-02T21:32:13.473 | 1 | 1082 | <p>I have a fresh install of <strong>11.04</strong> (reformatted etc) and I am having problems with a 3rd monitor. I'm running 2 video cards and the default NVidia drivers. I let the drivers generate my xorg.conf because still somewhat a n00b :) </p>
<p>I have no issue with the 2 working monitors. They are setup as TwinView which may or may not be best but I would prefer to avoid running Xinerama because I fear I would no longer be able to use Unity. Long story short, <strong>no known issues with the 2 monitors that are on the same video card</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>The 3rd monitor appears to have no window manager</strong>. I have no launch bar, no panels and when I right click -> new file gedit opens and there are no File / Edit / Tools ... options, nor is the title bar visible (with close, minimize, maximize). If I try to write anything in the text editor, it writes the text to one of the other, working, screens (Almost as if the window on the <strong>3rd monitor never receives focus</strong>). My xorg.conf file is posted below -- please let me know of any other files that would be helpful. <strong>I really appreciate any advice</strong>!</p>

<p>In previous versions of Ubuntu, I've enjoyed being able to rearrange the programs on the bottom task bar. Now, in 11.04's "classic" desktop, I don't seem to be able to do that any longer. Is there a way to restore this functionality? Some hidden gconf setting? Or has this been removed from the code entirely?</p>
<p>For example, here I am trying to drag Firefox onto Evolution. In 10.10 and previous, this would have caused the two apps to swap places on the window list.</p>

I've given Unity a shot and have reverted back to Ubuntu Classic. The one thing that is still not working is the temperature panel indicator (on 2 different laptops). It reports 'No Thermal Monitor Support' and shows a big red 'X'. The temperature sensors are working as GKrellM can still report temperature properly. Does anyone have a solution?</p>
<p>The specific applet is the 'computertemp' applet. After Jorge asked for more details, I tried the other one, the 'sensors-applet', and it actually works correctly. </p>

<p>I tried maxing everything in the "Sound" Menu in System Settings, tried <code>alsamixer</code> and <code>pavucontrol</code>, everything is at 100% and the USB device is selected.</p>
<p>The system was restarted twice after that, so that should not be the issue.</p>
<p>When I hook the same speakers to my Natty Laptop, I can just select them as the audio device and music plays.</p>
<p>How can I fix this?</p>

39462 | 1 | 40151 | 2011-05-02T22:37:00.970 | 31 | 59587 | <p>I've been looking all over the configuration menus and googling all over the web for how to configure keyboard shortcuts for Copy and Paste in the Unity window manager.</p>
<p>Is there some hidden place somewhere to configure this?</p>
<p>In Gnome Desktop on Lucid, I had it configured so that using the Ubuntu system keyboard/mouse, I could use <kbd>Win</kbd>+<kbd>C</kbd>/<kbd>Win</kbd>+<kbd>V</kbd> to copy and paste everywhere on the Gnome desktop, including in Firefox and gnome terminal; then when I moved the mouse to my Mac desktop*, the same keystrokes would copy and paste. I would really like to keep this consistency.</p>
<p><kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>C</kbd> is obviously inappropriate as the "copy" key in any sort of terminal program. (Any <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> characters, actually.)</p>
<p>* I am doing this by running Synergy server on Ubuntu, and the Synergy client on a Macbook. </p>

<p>I've been playing around with GNOME Shell for a while and every thing is smooth. So much so that my biggest gripe is to do with the way the launcher handles some of my applications. For most part, when an application is added to the launcher, i.e. added to favourites, and loaded, there will be only one instance of it shown in the launcher, with a white light shown under its icon.</p>
<p>But that doesn't seem to be the case for every application. A few, even though pinned to the launcher, show an additional icon once loaded. Is there a solution for this?</p>
