5342 | 1 | 5343 | 2010-10-08T07:42:37.560 | 2 | 319 | <p>I've been experimenting with the general layout of the desktop, and all was well until I moved the panel to the right-hand side of the screen.
Auto-hide was on at the time.</p>
<p>I've moved it several times before, without a hitch.<br>
The only thing different this time was that I had Skype running in desktop-share mode, and it had a thin red line (pun unintended, but it fits) around the screen's perimeter. </p>
<p>This line prohibited me getting the mouse close enough to the edge to auto-show the panel.<br>
I stopped Skype, and was able to display the Panel normally again.<br>
I did the same thing again, but this time it didn't reappear, and is now definitely AWOL (after rebooting). </p>
<p>The least I would like from this is to retreive the layout and settings of the applets.<br>
Getting the panel back would be even better. </p>
<p>Thanks for any ideas on this isssue.</p>

5347 | 1 | 5350 | 2010-10-08T13:04:25.090 | 6 | 127 | <p>Often, I find issues with the internals of Ubuntu and I don't know how to effectively assign the bug to the right project/audience.</p>
<p>Take <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/656855">this bug</a> for example, regarding multiple monitor support. I'd like to file this bug against Gnome, but I don't know which of the <em>many</em> Gnome projects apply here (or is it actually a problem with X? or gtk?). I can't even search for gnome-related projects or packages, as Launchpad complains:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Too many matches. Please try to narrow your search.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I've tried asking on #ubuntu and #ubuntu+1 but received no help due to the very high amount of ongoing activity: IRC just doesn't scale.</p>
<p>As a result I had to mark the bug generically against Ubuntu and now it's just one of a dozen emails that the poor souls subscribed to the project receive on a hourly basis. I doubt the bug will get any attention this way.</p>
<p><strong>How can I effectively target a bug with non-frontend components of Ubuntu?</strong> Where can I get help with targeting such bugs?</p>

5348 | 1 | null | 2010-10-08T13:19:17.877 | 2 | 1148 | <p>The other day I was doing my backups and I was looking for more space to store my videos. So I formatted one of my harddrives (I have 4 not counting the external I was backing up to), but this harddrive turned out to be the wrong one. It had my Win7 installation and my MBR on it.</p>
<p>I figured, no big deal, I'll just use my super grub disk to boot properly, only it couldn't. For reasons unknown, even when I pointed it to the correct /boot partition, it couldn't boot. It also listed my raid 1 array partitions as "unknown".</p>
<p>Here's my setup:
SDA: 250 GB total - 250 GB in an NTFS partition with Win7 installed (this is the one I formatted)<br>
SDB: 850 GB total - 4 GB Swap - 846 GB forms a raid array<br>
SDC: 850 GB total - 4 GB /boot - 846 GB forms second part of raid array<br>
SDD: 200 GB total - 200 GB NTFS partition with WinXP installed (this is the one I meant to format)</p>
<hr>
<p>The Raid array is an LVM separated into a / and a /home. Neither are encrypted. I don't remember the exact distribution.</p>
<p>What can I do to recover my Ubuntu installation and restore GRUB to the MBR?</p>
<p>My /boot/grub/grub.cfg</p>

<p>I am sure it would be possible to limit BitTorrent's network usage but what I really want is to be able to set priorities to applications (or protocols) accessing the network.

<hr>
<p>I often prefer to navigate via the keyboard, and I typically launch my most frequently used apps via a system-wide hot-key. </p>
<p>For less frequtnely used ones I had developed my own quirky menu-navigation system (in Windows, where I've spent the last 20 years). </p>
<p>It relies on the principle of "jump to the <strong>next</strong> item in the list which matches the letter/character I've just typed"... I am only referring to first-letter/character. </p>
<p>I created a folder called <strong>`</strong> (ie. a single <strong>back-tick</strong>)<br>
In this folder was a simple list of my "secondary" apps... with one minor difference.<br>
Each of these was prefixed with with either <strong>`</strong>, <strong>~</strong>, or <strong>!</strong><br>
All these keys are conveniently located near the menu-launch key (Win-key, or Alt-F1)<br>
... I have my Main Menu popping <strong>up</strong> (like Windows) </p>
<p>This enables me to start any of my secondary apps with a simple consistancy; even blindfolded. </p>
<p>Aside from a minor difference in how Ubuntu/(Gnome) submenus must be specifically naviated into (...wheras Windows automatically moves the focus into the sub-menu)... I have this same system working in Ubuntu.<br>
I love the way Ubuntu(Linux) is so configurable! </p>
<p>But! (such a small word)... there is a problem. </p>
<hr>
<p>For some unknown reason, the <code>"jump to next item starting with **letter/character**"</code> feature behaves oddly in the Gnome menu.<br>
Is it a bug, Is it a feature, Is it tweakable? .... I don't know, but this is how it (mis-)behaves: </p>
<p>It <strong>remembers</strong> the most recently accessed item of a letter/character group.. even across seperate open/close cycles of the menu... </p>
<p>This beaks the <strong>do-it-blindfolded consistancy</strong> which is why I use this <code>first-letter</code> method. </p>
<p><strong>Does anyone know if this is tweakable?</strong> so that each new access to a menu-list causes the "first-item" to be the topmost item (within that first letter/character group), and not the <strong>next</strong> one on from a previous Menu session...</p>

<p>I've been searching in internet but it looks like no one is having problems with the webcam on ubuntu and therefore, I don't find what I can do to fix the problem.</p>

5399 | 1 | 5747 | 2010-10-09T12:21:48.887 | 2 | 1709 | <p><strong>Background</strong> </p>
<p>I am trying to configure NFS on my Windows Server 2008 with UNIX Extensions to be able to connect to Ubuntu. However in 2008 you need AD to activate User Profile Mappings. Windows can however connect to a Identity Manager Service to retrieve this information from another machine. The reason for not running AD is that the server and setup is on a home network, and therefore AD is completely unnecessary.</p>
<p><strong>The Question</strong></p>
<p>How and can I configure my Ubuntu machine to provide a User Profile Mapping service, and what/how would I go about setting it up on my Ubuntu machine? I need to be able to map my Windows Users to my Linux users without require AD.</p>
<p>The problem with using OpenLDAP is that it doesn't support Server 2008 and also I am not sharing anything <strong>from</strong> Ubuntu. Also NFS can see the shares on the Server however can't connect to them in anyway.</p>
<p><strong>Current Setup</strong></p>
<p>I am running Ubuntu 10.10 without any GUI. It is a headless installation mainly used to run service type software and to do some network monitoring. It does not have any shares on the box, however connects to shares on the Windows Server 2008 machine using CIFS and FSTAB mounts. However I would like to switch to NFS because symlinks won't work when running RSYNC to backup the Ubuntu box for example.</p>

5410 | 1 | 6410 | 2010-10-09T15:11:24.237 | 17 | 32390 | <p>I use krusader for file management stuff. the problem is that apache's <code>DocumentRoot</code> should be under <code>chown www-data:www-data /path/to/www</code>. so using krusader (which is run under my account) I've not write access to <code>/path/to/www</code> while I really need. I don't know how other developers can continue doing things with such a restriction!</p>
<p>I wondered if I could run krusader as <code>www-data</code> then I will be able to easily play with files. but using <code>su - www-data</code> asked me for <code>www-data</code>'s password!!</p>
<p><strong>So, how can I run an application (like krusader) as another user (like www-data) in Gnome?</strong></p>
<p>or is there any other solution for my case? (tough I'm really curious to know the answer!)</p>
<p>keep in mind that I know I can run it <strong>as root</strong>! but this will cause some permission problems when using <code>cp</code> and <code>mkdir</code>, you know.</p>
<p><strong>PS:</strong>
<code>sudo</code> and <code>gksudo</code> did not help:</p>
<pre><code>$ gksudo -u -www-data krusader
No protocol specified
krusader: cannot connect to X server :0.0
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Final Note:</strong>
according the best answer, i did <code>chmod u+w /path/to/www</code> and my problem solved. but i still has not been succeeded in opening krusader as another user!</p>

5423 | 1 | 5424 | 2010-10-09T18:18:28.860 | 2 | 847 | <p>I've neither installed, nor upgraded, any packages for a couple of days, yet today Rhythmbox is reporting that it was 'unable to activate plugin Desktop Art.' It worked before I left the computer (at around 03:00), but when I restarted this afternoon it either couldn't or wouldn't.</p>
<p>I presume couldn't, I don't think my box actively resists my expectations. While I understand there could, potentially, be any number of reasons for this, I was wondering if there's a way to find out <em>why</em> it can't be activated? Or, of course, if anyone knows of a workaround to re-enable one of the few plug-ins I find to be essential.</p>
<p>Possibly this might be fixed by simply upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10, but I'd rather know what's happening now, than ignoring it and praying.</p>
<p>The only dependencies I could find are the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>python 2.5 (or higher), currently I have: 2.6.5,</li>
<li>gnome-python-desktop, currently locating this package in Synaptic.</li>
</ul>

5425 | 1 | 5428 | 2010-10-09T18:56:12.277 | 10 | 10319 | <p><strong>Scenario</strong></p>
<p>I have a headless Ubuntu 10.10 RC box running a few service applications on my home network. I have a Windows 2008 Server hosting all my network shares and hard drives. I am currently mounting the network drives at boot-up using FSTAB with the following options set:</p>
<p><code>credentails=/etc/smbcredentials,</code>
<code>iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,noserverino,sfu</code></p>
<p><strong>Question</strong></p>
<p>What option do I need to set to get SYMLINKS to properly register using CIFS?
I have to admit the info in <code>man mount.cifs</code> doesn't seem to provide a clear enough definition of which options I should be using for proper support.</p>
<p><strong>Problem</strong></p>
<p>When running RSYNC from the Ubuntu machine to back up selected folders to the Windows shares, it fails trying to recreate the SYMLINKS. I am concerned that this will create a problem when later trying to restore these files back should I ever need to.</p>

<p>For example:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Will the applications that I have installed on 8.10 still be there after upgrade?</p></li>
<li><p>Will the settings of application such as the bookmarks for Firefox and for Google Chrome be preserved?</p></li>
<li><p>Will all the personal files under my home directory be preserved?</p></li>

<p>Is there anything else I need to know about upgrading?</p>

You would need to upgrade to 9.04, then 9.10, and then finally 10.04. This can be a long and painstaking process, so in your case I would recommend doing a new install over your existing install, which will not format your drive.

<p>What I've checked so far:</p>

<li>Movie Player (Totem) does not skip when playing the same files.</li>

<p><strong>Update:</strong> Neither of the two solutions really work. The bug is interesting, but the symptoms does not match my problem (I'm not having problem with uninstalling applications, but rather the things that are inserted after installing them), and with the other one, <em>all</em> references to the Wine application are removed, which actually makes the problem worse (although it may be an acceptable solution if nothing else can be found). So this is still an open question; any takers? </p>

<pre><code>Could not calculate the upgrade
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
Trying to install blacklisted version 'blcr-dkms_0.8.2-13'
This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report.
</code></pre>
<p>None of the three applies to me (I think).</p>
<p>Now I found that this also affects someone else: <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/update-manager/+bug/657662" rel="nofollow">https://bugs.launchpad.net/update-manager/+bug/657662</a></p>

5634 | 1 | 9119 | 2010-10-10T13:59:42.183 | 10 | 4870 | <p>This question pretends to be a central place where people share info about compiling the latest and greatest GNOME-Shell environment in Ubuntu 10.10.</p>
<p>As GNOME-Shell now depends on gtk3 and in a lot of other new modules, and the GNOME-hell PPA is no longer around, it's actually quite difficult to test it without, as I've read somewhere, </p>
<blockquote>
<p>"compiling half of the GNOME desktop"</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I've tried with jhbuild just yesterday and only some modules were built, but gnome-shell and gtk3 weren't included in those that built.</p>
<p>As some solutions posted here may seem get quite dangerous, I was thinking about setting up a VM w/ Ubuntu 10.10, and I think that most of you will agree with me. </p>
<p><strong>So, in conclusion, questions that need to be answered:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Is there any new GNOME-Shell PPA for
Maverick? </li>
<li><p>Can jhbuild gnome-shell install script be fixed in order to allow a clean build?</p></li>
<li><p>If not, any other easy ways to get it, excluding manual compilling?</p></li>
<li><p>When installed, will GNOME-Shell work with Virtualbox emulated graphics stack?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Ladies and gentleman, the question is now yours. Let the answering begin...</p>

5687 | 1 | 5688 | 2010-10-10T17:01:14.623 | 1 | 3211 | <p>I am trying to build a custom version of Ubuntu for my school and they seem to be using the Novell NetWare software (for Windows) so students can log-in to their accounts. I have tried using WebDav for the NetStorage server but that was unsuccessful. I have also tried a program called Novell Client for Linux but, it didn't fully support Ubuntu, it was butt ugly, the latest release was made in 2004.</p>
<p>If you guys could help me out on this I would greatly appreciate it.</p>

5724 | 1 | 5737 | 2010-10-10T19:28:26.903 | 13 | 9734 | <p>I recently ran the iTunes 10 installer in Wine and everything seemed to go well. Then, when I tried to run it, it would constantly crash/and the appearance would be glitchy. After looking at the Wine website, it turns out that iTunes 10 has a 'garbage' rating of Wine compatability.</p>
<p>Now I'm trying to remove/uninstall iTunes, QuickTime, and the other applications that come default with installing iTunes (such as Bonjour, etc.).
However, when I run the 'uninstaller' that wine provides for the programs, it instead executes what appears to actually be the original installer!
I've tried deleting all the configuration/data files in my Wine's file-system, but to no avail.</p>
<p>Any help is greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>Edit1:
After re-running the uninstall process and then rebooting, the program (iTunes 10) still remained installed.</p>

<li>2.13 Intel Core i3-330M Processor </li>
<li>4GB RAM Intel HD Graphics </li>
<li>Intel 80GB SSD (Newly installed)</li>
</ul>
<p>Ever since I got the laptop, even before I upgraded my hard drive when I play games my volume controls go out of whack.</p>
<p>They will jump up and down randomly and uncontrollably until I quit the game, and usually I have to force quit the game because the volume changing will make the game lose focus and just make it hard to do anything. It makes ALL games unplayable.</p>
<p>What is weird is this only happens for games. It doesn't happen when I am on my desktop which does the desktop effects by default, and I thought since it's using the graphics card for rendering it would do that, but maybe desktop effects doesn't use the same graphics libraries that games use? I don't know.</p>
<p>If anyone has any insight to how to solve this problem, it would be greatly appreciated! Everything else works great with the laptop, but this is a show stopper for me.</p>
