<p>a) I don't have a recovery disk, I have a recovery partition - it's a netbook.
b) I don't have an external cd drive. </p>

<li>a LAN for access to other local computers (local file sharing)

<p>Both networks are setup through the same Ethernet connection.</p>
<p>One way of accessing both networks at the same time is to connect to PPPoE from network-manager, and add the LAN info by hand:</p>
<ul>
<li>add an IP on eth0</li>
<li>add a route for traffic to that network</li>

<p>In addition, running the eject command from a terminal also does nothing.</p>
<p>More information : I am running ubuntu 10.04 64 bits, have previously read a CD (like 2 hours ago), which I ejected using nautilus because I couldn't eject it using the same hardware button.</p>
<p>Here is the output of the command 'eject -v' :</p>
<pre><code>eject: using default device `cdrom'
eject: device name is `cdrom'
eject: expanded name is `/dev/cdrom'
eject: `/dev/cdrom' is a link to `/dev/sr0'
eject: `/dev/sr0' is not mounted
eject: `/dev/sr0' is not a mount point
eject: `/dev/sr0' is not a multipartition device
eject: trying to eject `/dev/sr0' using CD-ROM eject command
eject: CD-ROM eject command failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/sr0' using SCSI commands
eject: SCSI eject succeeded
</code></pre>
<p>UPDATE: Ok I would like to add that I am unable to reproduce this bug, as I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 using said CD, and behavior seems ok now. It was probably the upgrade to a more recent kernel that did the trick. Thanks everyone!</p>

<p>What does Evolution's <strong>Flagged</strong> column indicate?<br>
The Flagged column is the third one from the left in the Mail window of the default setup. Its icon is a red exclamation-mark in a red circle. </p>
<p>I find lots of references to the fact that it is a sortable column, but nothing to indicate what its function is. </p>
<p>I've noticed that an <strong>un-deleted</strong> message (from the Trash) shows as <strong>Flagged</strong>, but the word "flagged" can suggest that something is currently <strong>pending</strong>? </p>
<p>I've been experimenting, and now have several <strong>Flagged</strong> messages. I am reluctant to close Evolution, until I know exactly what it means.</p>
<p><strong>PS.</strong> The <strong>Flagged</strong> column is not the same as the <strong>Flag Staus</strong> column. The <strong>Flag Status</strong> column's icon is a <strong>Flag</strong>... The names are confusing, and as I mention in a comment below, I've been through the Help, but have not found a definitive answer. </p>

"body": "<p>The main differences are the following:</p>\n<h2>Unmount</h2>\n<p>This option will "literally" unmount the device/partition and it applies normally (In Nautilus) to hard drives, be them, internal or external. Is not common to see it for Flash Drives / Pen Drives / Thumb Drives / SD Card / Digital Camera and any other device that needs to sync before powering down.</p>\n<p>This is not the recommended way of doing it when addressing a device that needs to power down first if your intention is to disconnect the device afterwards, as the device will still show in the Nautilus panel..</p>\n<p>Have in mind that unmount gives you the ability to mount the device again (since it did not power down or actually eject the device from the system).</p>\n<h2>Eject / Eject Button</h2>\n<p>Somehow similar to Unmount, it will unmount the device/partition. The problem is that this option should only be present for Optical Devices (Devices that do not need to sync data before disconnecting) since this actually EJECTS the device. I mean literally ejects or opens your CD Drive/DVD Drive Device so you can take the CD/DVD out of it, physically speaking.</p>\n<p>You will not be able to mount the device again, except if you insert the CD/DVD back in (With Optical devices) or remove and reinsert the USB Drive again (For Flash Drives and other similar devices). Since this option also appears for USB Drives, and CD/DVD Drives behave differently than USB Drives (Hard Drives and Pen Drives in this case, Optical devices are omitted), ejecting a not properly synced USB Drive (Flash Drive or Hard Drive) could cause problems.</p>\n<p>There is however a verification process that runs when you try to Eject a device that needs sync. For example, if you try to eject a device that is copying data at that precise moment, it will give you the following warning:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/QNaR6.png\" alt=\"enter image description here\" /></p>\n<p>If you try to Eject the device and the sync is not done yet, you will get a message along the lines of "waiting for sync to finish before ejecting device". This only shows or at least it gives you enough time to see the message if you copy a lot files, specially small ones mixed in with big ones and then immediately after finishing the copy process you try to Eject it.</p>\n<p>Note a couple of things:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><p>If you have an USB CD/DVD Drive and you Eject the medium, this will actually eject the whole device. You would have to insert the CD/DVD image back in to make the device appear again.</p>\n</li>\n<li><p>If you Eject (At least with 12.04 and 12.10, haven't tested older versions) a USB Device that needs sync, the Eject process will power down the device AFTER the sync is done. This might be the cause of not seeing the option for "Safely Remove Drive".</p>\n</li>\n<li><p>If you connect a device that has multiple partitions (Like some IPods, N900 Smartphone or other devices that show 2 or more Devices in Nautilus), Eject will only "eject" with the device you have selected. It will not work with others until you specifically tell it.</p>\n</li>\n<li><p>Ejecting a device that has multiple partitions does not work correctly. It does not power down the device correctly so you might have problems or issues.</p>\n</li>\n</ol>\n<h2>Safely Remove Drive</h2>\n<p>This option differs from the others since it is specifically design for synced devices like USB Hard Drives, Pen Drives, etc.. It will sync the device, unmount it and then power it down. This option should be available for devices that need sync, although Eject has taken some of the properties of Safely Remove Drive.</p>\n<p>Here are some pics that show what you can see when you try to disconnect the device:</p>\n<p>As you can see in this image, a Pen Drive / Flash Drive has the "Eject" option\n<img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/nlbJf.png\" alt=\"enter image description here\" /></p>\n<p>An external USB Hard Drive has the "unmount" option\n<img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/tM3b2.png\" alt=\"enter image description here\" /></p>\n<p>An external USB DVD Drive has the "Eject" option<br />\n<img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/1NIu1.png\" alt=\"enter image description here\" /></p>\n<p>Unity Launcher showing an "Eject Parent Drive" option on a multi-partitioned Pen Drive (Has 2 partitions in this case)\n<img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/a3ogi.png\" alt=\"enter image description here\" /></p>\n<p>A 2 partition created pen drive</p>\n<p>Basically what we should see is this:</p>\n<p><strong>Unmount</strong> - For Hard Drives<br />\n<strong>Eject</strong> - For Optical Drives<br />\n<strong>Safely Remove</strong> - For USB Drives that need sync and power down (Pen Drives for example)</p>\n<p>Should be noted that Unity Launcher shows options differently than Nautilus. GPARTED or the Disk App also show differently than Nautilus.</p>\n",

<p>I have this sinking feeling that my system isn't fully upgraded to the released 10.10. If nothing else I am missing the Ubuntu Font Family.
It just feels like some things aren't updating. I don't know if from release to release, beta to LTS, there aren't that many updates but I certainly haven't been seeing long lists when I start my update manager.</p>

And if not, how can I update?</p>

5861 | 1 | 5905 | 2010-10-11T03:19:08.027 | 14 | 25851 | <p>I used the Disk Utility to create an encrypted volume on an external drive. When I click the Unlock Volume button in that program, it mounts the drive for me.</p>
<p>Now, I want to automate this process so that it will happen at boot-up.</p>
<p>When I run <code>sudo cryptsetup luksUUID /dev/sdb1</code>, I get this:<br>
<code>ca709269-1e3e-4e9e-9e08-7248f0e6c5a6</code></p>
<p>So, I create <code>/etc/crypttab</code> like this:<br>
<code>backup_drive UUID=ca709269-1e3e-4e9e-9e08-7248f0e6c5a6 none</code></p>
<p>And I added this line to <code>/etc/fstab</code>:<br>
<code>/dev/mapper/backup_drive /mnt/backup ext3 default 0 2</code></p>
<p>When I reboot, Ubuntu tells me that the device is not available to map, so I tell it to skip it. It appears that the <code>/etc/crypttab</code> is not getting run correctly.</p>
<p>How can I debug this?</p>

<p>So what I want is to be able to kill some process I use and I know I can kill (like my Internet browser) before the memory get full so I have little more space left. Do you know a way to do it ?</p>
<p>In technical terms, what I want is that when the memory is almost full it trigger a script that will send a SIGTERM (order to close) to my Internet browser so my PC don't freeze and I can choose to save whatever I'm doing and reopen my browser or forget about my browser. </p>

Also, it's recommended that the swap space is maximum twice the amount of RAM depending upon the amount of hard disk space available for the system because of diminishing returns. </p>\n\n<p>For more modern systems (>1GB), if you use hibernation, your swap space should minimum be equal to your physical memory (RAM) size, otherwise you need a minimum of round(sqrt(RAM)) and a maximum of twice the amount of RAM. The only downside to having more swap space than you will actually use is the disk space you will be reserving for it.</p>\n\n<p>The \"diminishing returns\" means that if you need more swap space then twice your RAM size, you'd better add more RAM as Hard Disk Drive (HDD) access is about 10³ slower then RAM access, so something that would take 1 second, suddenly takes more than 15 minutes! And still more than a minute on a fast Solid State Drive (SSD).</p>\n",

5938 | 1 | 5945 | 2010-10-11T10:23:26.180 | 7 | 4695 | <p>I had promissed my 120 students that I will install ubuntu 10.10 on their laptops but failed to do it.The laptops were dell vostro 4014. All have same hardware. I took one laptop and installed ubuntu and all the necessary packages, and also wine to run some windows software. I selected the default ext4 file system. </p>
<p>Then I tried to use clonezilla server to clone the installation. Clonezilla server shows boot menu splash screen, but later on it says that I might be having a latest NIC unsupported by the kernel. But the NIC of the laptop on which I had installed ubuntu works fine. Later I tried to use the clonezilla live cd to boot the laptop which has ubuntu. But when I press 'Y' to start cloning, it says 'something went wrong'. Again I tried the 'dd' command to save as disk image. But it copies empty space. So it is not feasible for me as it takes really long time. </p>
<p>I have made my students to wait for many days, daily they are coming and asking whether my setup is ready. Today I realized I can't do it. I have in a way convinced them not to go for windows. So they are waiting for me to have ubuntu installed on their laptops. Today evening some of them will come to collect the laptops I took from them to install ubuntu. Don't know how and what to tell them.</p>

<p>From what I understand, I don't need to feed in a video stream using ffmpeg as I am using the File attribute, so ffserver does the work for me?</p>
<p>When I try to use totem to playback the video (ffplay just times-out), I get the following error:</p>
<p><code>

<p>Now that 10.04 has been released it's time to start thinking about how we move our customers towards the latest LTS release. I'm currently considering the best approach to do this, preferably all triggered from a package upgrade.</p>
<p>I currently have a "meta" package which contains a number of prerequisites for our flavour of Ubuntu. I was thinking of issuing updated version of this in our current repo with a few upgrade scripts to be run from postinst. This would trigger the distro upgrade and then switch the custom repo bits to point to the new packages directory built against 10.04.</p>
<p>Is there a command line for trigger the distro upgrade?
Is this the best way to proceed?</p>

On the Internet I found a article saying that it could be configured on Linux. I followed the steps to install it on Ubuntu from this <a href="http://digitizor.com/2010/06/28/how-to-use-tata-photon-plus-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/" rel="nofollow">link</a>.

<p>Also, it is very slow, but I was told that I would see speeds up to 3.1MB.</p>
<p>I dont have wvdial installed and cannot install it from apt as I'm not connected to internet</p>
<p>Booting from windows I dowloaded "wvdial" .deb package and tried to install on ubuntu but it's ended with dependency problem. Automatically, don't know how, I got connected to internet only for once. Immediately I installed wvdial package after this I followed the tutorials(I could not browse and upload the files here) . From then it's showing that the device is connected in the network connections but no internet connection. Once I disable the device, it won't show as connected again and I'll have to restart my system. Sometimes the device itself not detected(wondering if there is any command to re-read the all devices).</p>

<p>Here the airtelbroadband is mine(dyndns domainname). I think the previously posted script creates new chain and from this domain everything is allowed -is it so?. May be the allowed ports ssh, webmin, mysql and www are useless entries. But I want this domain should be allowed only to these ports and I may have nmap listing only allowed ports on the cloud server when I check from my dyndns domain systems. Any more help...?</p>

For example, the following lines will only allow SSH, HTTP/HTTPS and MySQL connections from your home host:</p>\n\n<pre><code>$IPTABLES -A $CHAIN -s $IP/32 -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT\n$IPTABLES -A $CHAIN -s $IP/32 -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT\n$IPTABLES -A $CHAIN -s $IP/32 -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT\n$IPTABLES -A $CHAIN -s $IP/32 -p tcp --dport 3306 -j ACCEPT\n</code></pre>\n\n<p><strong>Warning:</strong> It is very, <em>very,</em> <strong>very</strong> easy to lock yourself out of a running host by messing with the firewall rules, especially with automated scripts.

6016 | 1 | 6457 | 2010-10-11T15:37:40.317 | 122 | 94048 | <p>What is the recommended way to change the first day of the week to Monday (instead of Sunday, as in the screenshot below)? </p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/AdMDt.png" alt="alt text"></p>
<p>I couldn't find anything related in Clock Preferences, nor in System -> Preferences, or System -> Administration.</p>
<p>This probably has something to do with tweaking locales, so here's (possibly relevant) output from <code>locale</code>:</p>
<pre><code>LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
...
LC_ALL=
</code></pre>
<p><strong>NB</strong>: I want to keep English as the UI language both in GNOME and on command line. Dates are currently displayed like this (e.g. <code>ls -l</code>): <code>2010-10-06 15:32</code>, and I also want to keep that as it is. </p>

<p>My incentive for asking comes from <a href="http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/powertop/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">PowerTOP</a>,</p>
<pre><code>The program 'gnome-do' is writing to file '.xsession-errors' on /dev/sdb2.

6025 | 1 | 6924 | 2010-10-11T16:04:23.960 | 1 | 18699 | <p>Tried to install 10.10 yesterday and eventually got an error that Grub had failed to install. Asked me to select another partition, cancel install or continue without a bootloader.</p>
<p>Everytime I selected another partition the error would just pop back up immediately (not convinced it even tried writing anything to disk).</p>
<p>I did do some partitioning when I was in the installer - shrunk an ntfs partition and grew the Linux one to make up for it - the defaults were set to place at beginning of drive and logical (as opposed to primary), so I left it with that. </p>
<p>The first time grub just went to the recovery prompt - but most of the commands that were 'supposed' to work, didn't (been reading articles and how-tos). After another reinstall and an attempt to install manually I got through to the grub> prompt, but have failed to get much further.</p>
<p>I've checked the grub directory and there's no grub.cfg anywhere, but it's definitely 1.9x that's installed. There should be no Legacy Grub installations anymore, that I'm aware of. </p>
<p>Have gone through various methods to try and load a kernel or configure grub but they've all been unsuccessful.
For example: <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275" rel="nofollow">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275</a></p>
<p>EDIT:</p>
<p>Sorry, you're right, I should have been clearer, left a lot of space for assumptions there. Was writing it while researching/rebooting.</p>
<p>I have actually managed to work around it, but I will get back with that partition table 'cause I'm pretty sure something is wrong somewhere - still unable to get the distro installer to install grub, as it should.</p>

<p>With crazy I mean that resolution is very low, font(I assume) is very weird and it all looks like it's been broken.</p>
<p>This happened with 10.04 and now again with 10.10.</p>
<p>How do I fix splash screen after enabling nvidia drivers?</p>
