From a Virtual Terminal that is not running a graphical environment, shift-alt-f[1..12] takes me to Virtual Terminal [13..24]. However, if I use the same key-combination from any Virtual Termial that is running a graphical environment - Gnome, KDE, XFCE or LXDE, these key combinations are simply ignored. It doesn't matter which VT the graphical environment is running in, the keystrokes are still sent to that great bit-bucket in the sky.
What is happening here - is the X-server somehow eating these keystrokes? Is there any way I can get X-server not to eat them?</p>

40121 | 1 | 41185 | 2011-05-04T20:24:58.583 | 3 | 8525 | <p>I've just installed a clean version of 11.04 and I am trying to get the NVIDIA driver to work.</p>
<p>Just after installing I've seen Unity and used it. Then I activated the NVIDIA driver (from the additional drivers dialog) or I just restarted (I don't remember well anymore) and I got a message telling me that Unity didn't want and I got into classic mode.</p>
<p>In the additional drivers dialog it says the NVIDIA driver is "activated but not currently in use". I found out that I should do a <code>sudo nvidia-xconfig</code>, which gave back:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf".</p>
<p>VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Device section "Default Device" must have a Driver line.</p>
<p>Backed up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup' New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'</p>
</blockquote>
<p>(Exactly as posted on the <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1739269#7" rel="nofollow">ubuntuforums before</a>. I also have the same version, "nvidia-xconfig: version 270.41.06".)</p>
<p>After I reboot I can see the Ubuntu logo bith the four dots starting up and then only a console with some starting messages:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Starting ACPI deamon [ OK ]</li>
</ul>
<p>.. more of such starting messages ..</p>
<p>modem-manager[778]: ModemManager (version 0.4) starting...</p>
<p>.. and more modem-manager loading plugin messages ..</p>
<p>.. and ending with:</p>
<ul>
<li>Stopping Flush boot log to disk [ OK ] Skipping profile in /etc/apparmor.d/disable: usr.bin.firefox</li>
</ul>
<p>[ OK ]</p>
</blockquote>
<p>And then nothing happens anymore. I stay in this console and can't get into a graphical mode in a normal way.</p>
<p>I can reboot in recovery mode and start a classic GUI, replace the xorg.conf with the backuped one and have everything working again. And thus also repeat this whole process over and over again. But the NVIDIA driver is still "not currently in use".</p>
<p>Anyone knowing a next hint to help me further?</p>

<p>How can I log out when I cannot see anything? Terminal will not display. Is there some key combination at boot that will allow me to force it to classic mode (unlikely). Can I boot into a liveCD, mount the hard drive and change some config file to turn off auto login?</p>

I am not trying to run a specific version of flash, rather I'm trying to run any version, preferably the latest, without Chromium auto-disabling it.</p>
<p>I get a warning stating:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The Flash plug-in was blocked because it is out of date
With two options:
[Run this time] and [Update plug-in]</p>
</blockquote>
<p>When I press update plug-in, I get a page with the following info:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>If you are using the open source
Chromium browser, please download and
install the Flash Player plug-in
below.</p>
<p>To learn more about Flash Player and
Chromium, see this TechNote.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I tried installing through APT, a couple of things happened, I gave my admin password, and it was all completed succesfully. Restarted Chrome, and the warning persists.</p>
<p>Trying again, I noticed that no matter what version I select, there appears a box under it that reads:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Browser: Firefox, Mozilla, Seamonkey</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Since I'm using Chromium, I guess this might not be the right version. I can not however select a different version. When I go to <strong>about:plugins</strong>, Chromium tells me:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Flash (2 files) - Version: 10.2.152 Download Critical Security Update
Shockwave Flash 10.2 r152</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Here's a screenshot of the webpage I get when I click update, and one of my about:plugins. I've tried disabling the first one, without result:</p>

40149 | 1 | 40166 | 2011-05-04T22:53:09.033 | 1 | 10086 | <p>I'm finding myself in a rather unique situation. I've read through just about every resource I can find about this and while things have helped me understand some background, I haven't yet been able to find a solution. So I'm asking here.</p>
<p>I originally had just a Windows 7 64-bit OS installation on my desktop. Learning that I couldn't do anything with Apache, PHP and MySql from within a 64-bit system, I did some research and found out that I could use Ubuntu. I've installed the latest version: 11.04.</p>
<p>I created a CD to install Ubuntu from and the install went just fine. I installed it side-by-side with Windows 7. I can boot into Ubuntu just fine through the dual-boot option. </p>
<p>When I reboot to load Windows though, the Grub2 list shows Windows 7 (loader) and when I select this option the Windows System Recovery loads instead of the actual OS. I haven't made it past there because I didn't know what to do. I just shut the computer down and rebooted into Ubuntu. I've been working for the last hour and a half to try to figure out how to boot into the Windows 7 OS and I haven't got a clue. </p>
<p>While I'm somewhat proficient with Windows 7, I'm totally new to Ubuntu, so if you do know what needs to happen, please keep it simple enough that I'll be able to understand. Thanks for all your help in advance.</p>

If it doesn't, you'll need to edit your GRUB configuration to point to the right partition.</p>\n\n<p>First we want to figure out what partition your Windows installation is on. Do <code>sudo fdisk -l</code> (don't worry, this is a safe operation; it just lists your disks and partitions) and you should see a list of partition entries formatted a bit like this:</p>\n\n<pre><code>/dev/sda3 * 1 6374 51199123+ 7 HPFS/NTFS\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Note the device path of any partitions that are of type \"HPFS/NTFS\" or \"MS-DOS\" or something to that effect. What you'll <em>probably</em> see is a small NTFS partition at the start of the disk and a bigger NTFS partition elsewhere. The smaller one is your recovery partition and the bigger one is your Windows instance proper. Make a note of the device path of the larger one.</p>\n\n<p>Now we need to know the UUID of that filesystem, which we will give to GRUB to help it find it. Say <code>sudo blkid</code> and find the entry corresponding to the partition you noted above. Note the value in quotes after <code>UUID=</code>.</p>\n\n<p>Now use the editor of your choice to open <code>/etc/grub.d/40_custom</code>. <code>sudo nano -w /etc/grub.d/40_custom</code> will do nicely. At the end of this file add something like the following:</p>\n\n<pre><code> menuentry \"Windows 7\" {\n insmod part_msdos\n insmod ntfs\n set root='(hd0,msdos1)'\n search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set UUID-GOES-HERE\n chainloader +1\n }\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Two things need to be substituted here. Where I've written <code>UUID-GOES-HERE</code> substitute the UUID you noted above (no quotation marks). Where I've written <code>msdos1</code> substitute 1 with the number of the partition you noted before (<code>sda6</code> would be <code>msdos6</code> etc.).</p>\n\n<p>Save this file and do <code>sudo update-grub</code>, then reboot. Try your new menu entry. Should work.</p>\n",

Revised search terms tell tale of <a href=\"https://askubuntu.com/q/18603/8515\">similar woes</a> in Maverick Meerkat.

<li><p>Then I inserted the CD with Ubuntu and I loaded it, then I selected the option that allows you to install with Windows 7, I resized <code>C:</code> partition, and the installation started. </p></li>
<li><p>After all the installation finished, Ubuntu ran well, then I restarted, grub loaded, and I selected Windows 7 Loader or something like that, Windows started to load, it shows the progress bar, and then bam! A BSoD appeared, I restarted and I tried to load Windows again, BSoD again, but another problem appeared, my PC restarts again, but grub doesn't load anymore and my PC starts to reboot and reboot, so I had to force it tu turn off. </p></li>

<p>I'm using Likewise Open to join machines to the domain, and I can't type in passwords for every user on every computer that needs to mount a network share. I've been able to get Kerberos <a href="http://www.likewise.com/community/index.php/forums/viewthread/1102/" rel="nofollow">working with the command line <code>smbclient</code></a>, but oddly Kerberos does not seem to be Nautilus-integrated. I also checked the SSH config file, and it looks like you can enable GSSAPIAuthentication, but it only works for Kerberos v2, not the current version, which I think is v5.</p>

<p>I think this has something to do with the problem ---- I had added a line at the end of fstab for the drive (/dev/sda) to automount, but I don't think it worked so I then removed the line from fstab.

All logins have taken me to the Classic DE and I can't find a way to even try Unity.</p>
<p>In the desktop settings, I have selected "Ubuntu" and not "Ubuntu (classic)". The system is configured so I must log in, and a "session" option is available at the bottom of the screen, but regardless of the session I choose, no Unity.</p>
<p>After installing the VirtualBox Guest Additions, the Classic DE would resize as the host window resized, but still Unity would not display.</p>
<p>I don't know if this is a video problem, memory, or something else. The VM has 1024MB ram, 2 processors, 3D acceleration, and 12MB of video memory.</p>

<p>Any information and links will be helpful. Also last time It was advised to use Gobby Notes but I totally failed to connect to any server. Is there an alternative for Gobby Notes or some other way to read logs of UDS sessions?</p>

After some people suggested I re-install I used the beta1 iso to reinstall and upgraded instantly about 3-4 times(the whole process). But now I am facing a bizarre situation where if I change something than default compiz settings it freezes and I cannot do anything other then drop to tty1 and reboot. The problem will persists on reboot as well every session. I was wondering if it was <code>unity</code> or <code>compiz</code>. Is the default compiz not to be altered for use with unity. Basically I want to disable</p>
<p>animations
desktop zooms etc and enable some compiz functionality.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance</p>

40279 | 1 | 40284 | 2011-05-05T08:49:13.170 | 14 | 5488 | <p>I occasionally have to work on some legacy Python code that is run by the Python 2.5 interpreter in production. I'd like to set my development environment up just like production, so I need to install the <code>python2.5</code> family of packages.</p>
<p>Of course, I can install from source, but I'd really prefer to use packages unless there is absolutely no way to do it.</p>
<p>However, the 2.5 packages are not included in any of the apt sources that ship with 11.04. Where can I find Python 2.5 packages that are likely to work smoothly with Natty?</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> It works! I should have read the <code>apt-get</code> output more closely:</p>
<pre><code>E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
</code></pre>
<p>So here's what I did to get Python 2.5 installed:</p>
<pre><code>: josh@josh; sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes
: josh@josh; sudo apt-get update
: josh@josh; sudo apt-get install python2.5
[...]
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python-minimal : Breaks: python2.5-minimal (< 2.5.5-7) but 2.5.4-1ubuntu6.1 is to be installed
python2.5 : Depends: python2.5-minimal (= 2.5.5-8~ppa2~natty3) but 2.5.4-1ubuntu6.1 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
: josh@josh; sudo apt-get -f install
[...]
The following extra packages will be installed:
python2.5-minimal
Recommended packages:

40287 | 1 | 40313 | 2011-05-05T09:22:26.303 | 51 | 78797 | <p>For 11.04, I did a fresh install of my system. Part of that install was to install <a href="http://rvm.beginrescueend.com">rvm</a>, which sticks a <code>rvm.sh</code> in <code>/etc/profile.d/</code>. This doesn't work as <code>/etc/profile</code> (which loads each +r in <code>/etc/profile.d/*.sh</code>) is not being loaded. According to the documentation, the profile is only sourced if bash is run in login. To verify this, I invoked <code>bash --login</code>, after which <code>rvm</code> was available.</p>
<p>This has worked for me in previous versions of Ubuntu without any configuration. That is, a fresh install of 10.10 will correctly source profile/.d.</p>
<p>My question is: is there anything I'm doing wrong, or are there some new assumptions being made in Natty that have broken this? My current workaround is to <code>source /etc/profile</code> in <code>~/.bashrc</code> (which is awful as profile is meant to load <em>before</em> bashrc's, but does the trick).</p>

I've already downloaded, compiled and install the drivers from the manufacturer's webpage and I've spent more than 7 hours searching for a solution. I've also tried installing Windows drivers through ndiswrapper without success, and I have tried every solution that has appeared on my screen.</p>
<p>Could it be related with the fact that I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 instead of an older version with an older kernel? Or is it just that it is impossible to make that network adapter work under Ubuntu?</p>
<p>I would be very grateful if you'd be too kind to enlighten me with your knowledge.</p>

If it was filed against the 'Linux' project, then it is important to note that this is used as an upstream bug tracker for bugs against related distributions.</p>\n\n<p>If this bug was something that you wanted to be addressed by upstream Linux maintainers, then really the only thing you can do is file it on bugzilla.kernel.org. The site being the bugtracker that Linus and the maintainers use to address kernel issues. </p>\n\n<p>In this case, the Kernel Defect Analyst(me :-) ) would triage your bug and bring it to the attention of the Kernel Release Manager. S/He would then determine whether it needed an Engineer's involvement (this is somewhat ambiguous as the KRM is an Engineer in his/her own right so it may be worked by them as well). At that time it will be acted upon. </p>\n\n<p>It is important to note that not all bugs get actively worked. In the vast majority of cases bugs are left alone if there is work ongoing upstream. If you are aware of the bug upstream, then filing a bug against Ubuntu in launchpad is an important way for us to track the issues as they progress in the upstream kernel.

Thus far, I've always simply browsed to a package page (e.g. <a href="https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/amd64/python-reportlab/2.5-1ubuntu1" rel="nofollow">https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/amd64/python-reportlab/2.5-1ubuntu1</a>) and manually downloaded the Deb file, which kicks off the <strong>Ubuntu Software Center</strong> and lets me easily install the package.</p>
<p>It would be even cooler if I could use LaunchPad.net as a regular apt source, i.e. by doing something like this:</p>
<pre><code>echo 'deb https://launchpad.net/ubuntu natty amd64' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
</code></pre>
<p>Does anyone know what the correct sources line would be?</p>

<p>On my screen, the colors look more similar the further down I slouch in my chair (i.e. angle of view).</p>
<p>If I change the color scheme the problem is solved, but that solution is too extreme for me. Is there a way to just change the color of the selected tab in terminal, or otherwise make it more prominent?</p>

I had some problems when the system froze with 2 minutes to go; I was forced to do a hard reboot, but the system appeared to work OK. (described here: <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/40295/distribution-upgrade-froze-my-system">https://askubuntu.com/questions/40295/distribution-upgrade-froze-my-system</a>)</p>
<p>As the system hadn't been cleaned up before rebooting, I ran Computer Janitor, but had to stop it when I saw it was deleting things I needed to keep (e.g. Faenze icons vanished). Since then I have been unable to install anything via apt-get, Synaptic or Software Centre. I can add PPAs, but attempting to install anything returns the following message:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The only way I can install anything is by downloading the deb and installing manually.</p>
<p>Trying to install with the Software Centre causes a window to open saying "An unhandled error occurred). Clicking on "details" reveals the following:</p>
<blockquote>

<p>However, when I try to repost the problem, another window opens with the title "Problem in aptdaemon" and</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The problem cannot be reported:</p>
<p>You have some obsolete package versions installed. Please upgrade the following >packages and check if the problem still occurs:</p>
<p>python-gobject</p>
</blockquote>
<p>EDIT - I tried Jordy's solution. When I then checked for local or obsolete packages in Synaptic, one was marked in red and marked for removal (rec-applet). When I attempt to remove it, I get the message:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>E: rec-applet: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1</p>
</blockquote>
<p>It's as if that was blocking everything else, but there doesn;t seem to be a way of removing it.</p>
<p>EDIT 2 - I remived the offending package following the instructions here: <a href="http://www.khattam.info/solved-subprocess-pre-removal-script-returned-error-exit-status-2-error-2009-08-04.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.khattam.info/solved-subprocess-pre-removal-script-returned-error-exit-status-2-error-2009-08-04.html</a></p>

<p>By removing the following items from the kernel line in the GRUB configuration I can somewhat see what is going on:</p>
<pre><code>vt.handoff=7
splash
quiet
</code></pre>
<p>Also, I've been changing the 'gfxpayload' parameter to 'text'.</p>
<p>Under these conditions I can observe the boot process. When I get to the running scripts portion the text font appears to change. It goes from a bright bold white to a more muted, non-bold white. Then the screen goes blank and I'm again stuck.</p>
<p>I can ping the machine, but I can't ssh in as ssh is not enabled.</p>
<p>I have a Dell Precision T3500 with an NVidia video card with DisplayPort outputs.</p>
<p>My problem seems similar to

<p>I should only have 1 partition however it lists it as:</p>

/dev/sda2 extended 11.72 Gib <br />

"body": "<p>There are three types of partitions.\n1. Primary\n2. Extended\n3. Logical</p>\n\n<p>There can only be 4 primary partitions on a hard drive. When one wants to create more than 4 partitions, an extended partition is created and then more logical partitions are created inside the extended partition. So extended partition is like a container which contains logical partitions in it. For more on partitions go to <a href=\"http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/file/structPartitions-c.html\" rel=\"noreferrer\">http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/file/structPartitions-c.html</a></p>\n\n<p>In your HDs configuration sda1 is a primary partition, sda2 is just an extended partition and sda5 is a logical partition which is inside sda2 and occupies all the space of sda2. You can see that sda2 and sda5 have exactly the same space. So basically there are just 2 useable partitions i.e sda1 and sda5.</p>\n\n<p>Sda5 is linux swap space. In linux, a partition is reserved as swap space. Swap space is used to extend your ram using some space on your hard disk. So if you have just 64 MB ram and you are able to run binaries or programs larger than 64 MB, it is because your some space on your HD is being used to extend your ram. When some part of program is not being use at the moment it is swapped out of ram in to the swap space. When program needs that part, it is swaped back in to the ram. If you want to know more you can google for virtual memory and you will find a lot of info about it.</p>\n\n<p>DO NOT delete these partitions as Linux needs swap space to run. </p>\n",

<p>I need to send emails from my php pages, but it seems that the sendmail php command needs sendmail installed on the laptop.</p>
<p>I understand I can install sendmail by <code>sudo aptitude install sendmail</code>, but don't know how to configure it as after installing it and restarting apache2, sendmail from php still does not work and returns no errors at all.</p>
<p>I am assuming sendmail needs to be configured after installing it, before it can be used in php.</p>
<p>Therefore, my question is, how do I install and configure sendmail on ubuntu 10.04 so I can use sendmail via cli at least.</p>

40388 | 1 | 48825 | 2011-05-05T15:24:35.587 | 1 | 253 | <p>I'm in a bit of a pickle right now due to a few blunders I made on my Ubuntu install. Currently, I have no window managers (so I'm running from a terminal) and no networking, wired or wireless. Here's the backstory:</p>
<p>I upgraded to 11.04 the other day and decided I didn't like Unity one bit. After a bit of Googling, I discovered that GNOME 3 was available (not realizing it was still a beta) and installed it from a ppa. Despite the beautiful interface, it didn't work out for me, since I had no internet connectivity. When I realized I could no longer even use Unity, I panicked and used apt-get to remove the main GNOME 3 packages in the hopes of reversing the damage.</p>
<p>Instead, this left me with just a terminal. I tried using ppa-purge, but it won't work without internet. I'm relatively sure I can restore Unity if I get wired networking back. So my main question is - any suggestions for fixing it?</p>
<p>Thanks a bunch...I've really gone and done it this time.</p>
<p>Derek</p>

This morning i upgraded to <code>11.04</code> and it also went well. i just realise some of the effects were gone. so i open compizconfig settings manager, i've tried to enable the destop cube and the expo and it prompted me of desabling somethings here and there.<br>
honestly i went fast couldn't undo what i've done and i realize the new application launcher and the system bar weren't showing properly, so i decided to restart my machine.After that 'bummer', nothing were like before.no system bar, no application launcher, not menu bar for any of my applications not even for the console.
How i'm going to solve this one this time.</p>

<p>I have the following problem with Ubuntu 11.04 (had it with 10.10 too, but disabling KMS or using the <code>fglrx</code> driver fixed it - can't remember exactly which), but now since the Radeon driver is better than it used to be, I want to use it (not to mention the <code>fglrx</code> performance is disappointing).</p>
<p>Ubuntu boots normally until the login screen. After login, it shows the background, the mouse is shown and it just remains there. It does not freeze, but it does not load anything else. I can move the mouse and can go into text console (<kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>F1</kbd>).</p>
<p>It does not work on Ubuntu profile (Unity) or on the Ubuntu Classic (GNOME + effects) profile. I even tried installing GNOME3 from their PPA, but it does not finish loading either (just like the other two).</p>
<p>My hardware: Toshiba Satellite M40 Notebook, ATI Radeon x600 (128MB) video card</p>
<p>I haven't been able to find any errors in <code>dmesg</code> or other logs.</p>
<p>Update 1:</p>
<p><kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>F2</kbd> does not work -- nothing pops up.
There is a GNOME panel loaded (I see the process in the text console) when trying Ubuntu Classic (with effects). Even the Unity panel service loads when I use the Ubuntu profile. I get the impression that something doesn't finish loading (in both Ubuntu and Classic with effects) because if I move the mouse over to where the toolbar would be I get the working mouse.</p>
<p>The thing is with <code>fglrx</code> I get an error when trying to load Unity, saying to use Classic because of a lack of hardware. But with the Radeon driver, I don't get that error, they seem to start loading but never finish -- they just hang.</p>
<p>It would be nice if the Radeon driver would allow me to use effects/unity/GNOME 3 since Unity seems to run well on an Intel 945m Express integrated video card notebook. I hope updates to the driver/Unity will fix my problem.</p>

<p>The Unity script says that I should be running Unity.</p>
<p>I found lots of bugs related to this (I think) like <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/777341" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Ubuntu bug 777341</a> and <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/758482" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Ubuntu bug 758482</a> and lots of questions relating to it here in Ask Ubuntu and on other sites. I will assume that this is a problem that will be resolved in future Ubuntu updates.</p>
<p>Update 2:</p>
<p>Fiddling with Compiz plugins (Gnome Plugin or Unity Plugin) in CCSM does not help.</p>
<p>The same goes for uninstalling Compiz/Unity and reinstalling it.</p>
<p>I am starting to get the feeling that this is not an easy thing to fix, and only a driver (Radeon/r300g/Gallium)/Compiz/Unity Ubuntu update will fix this.</p>

40433 | 1 | 40551 | 2011-05-05T17:44:30.327 | 4 | 300 | <p>I'm going to be embedding Ubuntu on an embedded device. I'm using a combination of aufs and a read only root to ensure that my root fs doesn't get corrupt. However, I want to be able to store logs, so I'm making a special rw partition for <code>/var/log</code>. The device is going to undergo hundreds of power failure events.</p>
<p>In the event that the partition gets corrupted due to power failure, I want the system to work properly anyway. I'd like the partition to automatically get reformatted in case of corruption. Is there an easy way to configure this?</p>
