But I can't find any help on how to integrate the different parts into the gnome environment. </p>
<ul>
<li>Kmail as default mailer (that's possible) and use the indicator applet</li>
<li>Tomboy or Basket to be used as replacement for knotes. At least sync. </li>
<li>Kadrressbook to replace gnome adressbook ... </li>
<li>Kcalendar replace calendar </li>
<li>...</li>
</ul>
<p>Is this possible by any means?
(and if it is, how?) </p>

6121 | 1 | 6172 | 2010-10-11T20:30:02.760 | 3 | 6735 | <p>Rhythmbox offers (as it should by now!) the metatag "albumartist" in addition to "artist".
But I don't see any way to browse by this property. </p>
<p>The offered views are:
Browse by "artist - album", "genres - artist", "genre - artist - album". </p>
<p>How can another view like "genre - albumartist - album" be added?
(this is the way itunes sorts, makes a lot of sense if you have about 220 compilation albums with a lot of "one hit wonder"-artists!) </p>

6122 | 1 | 6128 | 2010-10-11T20:30:47.363 | 15 | 23625 | <p>Since a few weeks, Ubuntu freezes almost everytime when I shut it down.</p>
<p>I know it because the shutdown animation stops and nothing is responsive: <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>Del</kbd> or <kbd>AltGr</kbd>+<kbd>Syst</kbd>+<kbd>reisub</kbd> don't make any difference.</p>
<p>I have tried to look at various log files in <code>/var/log</code> but only INFO level message are logged.</p>
<p>My hope to solve this problem would be to do a verbose shutdown, one where I could see what's going on, and so what's causing the problem, so I could start solving it.</p>
<p>Therefore, as the title suggest it. Is there a way to see what's going on during shutdown? I could even go to the extreme of doing a step-by-step shutdown if this is the only way.</p>
<p>Thanks for any tips.</p>

6129 | 1 | 6150 | 2010-10-11T20:44:57.340 | 2 | 13225 | <p>I've noticed that my Ethernet port works fine once, but after it's disconnected and i connect to a wireless network and I go and try to plug the Ethernet port back in, it doesn't work until I reboot. Why is this?!</p>
<p>Also, the lights light up but it's like the Ubuntu doesn't see it. Is there a way to reboot the Ethernet port programmaticly through Terminal? I've also tried to delete and readd Auto Ethernet through the Network Preferences.</p>
<p>I have a Lenovo ThinkPad L512 with Ubuntu 10.04</p>
<p>==UPDATE==</p>
<p>I did the first step Maco said to do and here is what I got:</p>

</code></pre>
<p>I've tried everything Maco suggested and finally figured out my memory isn't low although I keep getting a SIOCIFFLAGS: Cannot allocate memory error. I have over 1GB of RAM free as we speak.</p>
<p>I found this page:
<a href="http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/weird-ethernet-problem-838220/" rel="nofollow">http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/weird-ethernet-problem-838220/</a></p>
<p>And did what the person there said which was:</p>
<pre><code>lspci| grep -i ethernet
dmesg | grep -i ethernet
</code></pre>
<p>And it gave me some output and the last command gave me:</p>
<pre><code>r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded
</code></pre>
<p>I then tried Maco's stuff again and i didn't get the error anymore, however, the Ethernet still doesn't connect although now it doesn't give me the memory allocation error.</p>

<p>Unfortunately none of my sources for precompiled compiler packages contain anything older than about 4.4 any more --- I've looked at CodeSourcery, emdebian and Scratchbox. I've tried compiling it myself, but while I've managed to figure out how to build gcc 4 (the instructions on how to do so I wrote up is one of the most popular on my website...) gcc 3 is beyond me, just failing with incomprehensible erros; and gcc 2.95 is so infamously hard to compile that I haven't even tried.</p>

<p>My daughter was playing with the keyboard on the login screen, and it seems she activated some assistive technologies because now the screen is split vertically and the right side shows a magnified version of the left side. Plus, there's a screen keyboard.</p>
<p>The way the screen is split makes it impossible for me to disable the assistive stuff from the toolbar at the bottom, since I can only see part of it.</p>
<p>I don't know if it's a bug or what, because I'd guess I could see the entire bar on the right (magnified) side just by moving the mouse there, but I can't.</p>
<p>I can't even type on the login screen, nor use the on-screen keyboard... Good thing I have auto-login activated, so I can still use the computer, but I can't switch users.</p>
<p>So, does anyone know how to get the normal login screen back?</p>

6236 | 1 | null | 2010-10-12T01:12:12.710 | 2 | 1877 | <p>So I built a new computer a couple months ago and installed Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 on it. It has a Gigabyte motherboard which has a Realtek 8111d onboard network card.</p>
<p>In Windows, networking works fine. If I switch to Ubuntu, I have no network connectivity whatsoever, and in order to boot Windows, I have to leave my computer off for a minute or two in order for networking to work after having Ubuntu running.</p>
<p>Since Ubuntu by default installs the r8169 driver for my network card, I've tried installing the r8168 driver, since that's supposedly the correct driver for my card. It hasn't helped.</p>
<p>I installed 10.10 today (a fresh install), hoping that'd fix the problem. It didn't, so I checked lsmod, which showed the r8169 driver installed again. So I try installing the r8168 driver (according to <a href="http://www.atom.com/funny-stuff/animator-vs-animation" rel="nofollow">these</a> instructions) and it installs without any problems. I shut off my computer and unplug it, then go do some homework for 10 or 15 minutes. I come back, hoping the combination of the new driver and being powered off for a while have fixed it. Alas, no luck.</p>
<p>I would post the outputs of various commands, but because of the above issues, it's rather difficult. However, if they're <em>absolutely</em> necessary, I can do so.</p>
<p>So, any help that could be provided would be great.</p>

Chrome is updated by Google directly, as they run the entire repository and update Chrome on their schedule. Since it doesn't need to be redistributable and open source, Chrome includes things that we can't ship in Ubuntu out of the box, like Flash and H264 support (See the <a href=\"https://ubuntu.com/about\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">Ubuntu promise</a>). However you can install this support with a few packages (see below).</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/chromium-browser\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">Chromium</a>, being open source, is available in the Ubuntu repositories. This is maintained by Ubuntu developers and goes through our <a href=\"https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">Stable Release Update</a> process. Chromium has a <a href=\"https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/MicroReleaseExceptions\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">release process exception</a>, which allows the team to upload a Chromium build as soon as a new upstream release is made.</p>\n<p>There really aren't any proper "releases" made of Chromium, so Ubuntu developers base their build on what stable version of Chromium the stable Chrome build is based off of. Fabien Tassin has a <a href=\"https://ftagada.wordpress.com/2011/01/19/chromium-release-management-explained/\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">blog post</a> about this process that goes into much more detail.</p>\n<p>The following packages in Ubuntu install the codecs and features in Chromium that you can find in Chrome:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><p><a href=\"https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=chromium-codecs-ffmpeg\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">chromium-codecs-ffmpeg</a> <a href=\"http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\"><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/3wtVL.png\" alt=\"Install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg\" /></a></p>\n</li>\n<li><p><a href=\"https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra</a> <a href=\"http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\"><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/x91jk.png\" alt=\"Install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra\" /></a></p>\n</li>\n<li><p><a href=\"https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=flashplugin-installer\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">flashplugin-installer</a> <a href=\"http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/flashplugin-installer\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\"><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/idkA9.png\" alt=\"Install flashplugin-installer\" /></a></p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Really it depends on what you want. If you trust Google to not break your computer and like the convenience of Chrome then you can use that; if you want an open source browser that is the basis of Chrome that is peer reviewed by Ubuntu developers and doesn't require 3rd party sources then you want Chromium.</p>\n<p>This <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome#User_tracking\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">Wikipedia page</a> outlines some of the security/usage tracking differences between the two browsers.</p>\n",

6282 | 1 | 8736 | 2010-10-12T04:27:35.667 | 3 | 1232 | <p>I've been using <code>kprinter</code> for several years as a way to give programs that don't have fancy print dialogs (like <code>gvim</code>) a fancy print dialog. From a command-line sense it looks a lot like <code>lp</code> or <code>lpr</code>, but it pops up a GUI for choosing printers and setting printing option (eg: duplex, pages per side, page ranges, etc.).</p>
<p>I can't find <code>kprinter</code> on my system since upgrading to Lucid. What package is it in?</p>
<p>If it's been permanently removed (as seems to have happened with a few other things I used to use) is there a good alternative? I found <code>gtklp</code>, which is passable, but doesn't seem quite as nice as <code>kprinter</code>.</p>

6287 | 1 | 6294 | 2010-10-12T04:49:25.730 | 3 | 146 | <p>Living in the United States, it is most common to have dates expressed like the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Oct 12, 2010</li>
<li>October, 12, 2010</li>
<li>10/12/2010</li>
<li>Tue Oct 12</li>
<li>Tuesday, October 12, 2010</li>
</ul>
<p>I prefer the big endian form for my dates like below:</p>
<ul>
<li>2010 October 12</li>
<li>2010-10-12</li>
<li>2010 Oct 12, Tuesday</li>
</ul>
<p>or the little endian form</p>
<ul>
<li>12 October 2010</li>
<li>Tuesday 12 October 2010</li>
<li>12.10.2010</li>
</ul>
<p>4 digit years, 2 digit month</p>
<p>Without changing the locales information for my currency, etc, how would I go about setting this up so that <strong>system wide</strong> it can be expressed in either of the types of forms.</p>

6291 | 1 | 6300 | 2010-10-12T05:18:54.243 | 4 | 1842 | <p>Yesterday I downloaded the 10.10 update using the update manager. The download went normally, but I encountered numerous errors while the new packages were installing, which caused my upgrade to fail. I restarted my computer, and after the BIOS screen I began to consistently get the following error:</p>
<pre><code>Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu
</code></pre>
<p>and then there is a 10 entry call trace.</p>
<p>I've been searching for a solution since this happened last night. Some forums recommended running a disk test, which I did from the live cd with no errors. I also tested the memory, and that showed a lot of errors (62). So maybe my RAM is toast, but I don't know why it would fail on the upgrade.</p>
<p>I also ran the boot info script found on sourceforge, and the RESULTS.TXT file is here: <a href="http://pastebin.com/MKc2tS9e" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/MKc2tS9e</a></p>
<p>Thanks for the help.</p>

6340 | 1 | null | 2010-10-12T09:18:20.057 | 2 | 19723 | <p>I have a brand-new Ubuntu 10.10 installed in a VMWare 7.1 Workstation.
I am in a LAN and we're connected to Internet through a proxy which requires authentication.</p>
<p>I use 3 (three) browsers: The latest versions of Opera, Chrome and Firefox. Each one of them is set up to look for our proxy at the IP 192.168.3.1 (example given) and the port 8081. Each one of them finds the proxy, asks for the username and the password and after this connects correctly to the Internet.</p>
<p>The same thing applies for the Synaptic Package Manager: Having the correct proxy data in the <em>Settings -> Preferences -> Network</em> it works ok.</p>
<p>However the Ubuntu Software Center fails to install any package which I will choose. The error(s) is/are <code>Authentication failure</code>.</p>
<p>Also in Terminal issuing a <code>sudo apt-get install mypackage</code> the APT cannot connect to the needed repository to fetch the data from there.</p>
<p>Also I mention that I have set up in the Ubuntu's Main Menu in System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy Preferences the correct values for proxy (IP address, port and the authentication bits: username & password).</p>
<p>The interesting thing is that if I do the following steps, it works:</p>
<ol>
<li>Start the Synaptic.</li>
<li>Start the Ubuntu Software Center.</li>
<li>Choose something to install from Ubuntu Software Center. It will throw a 'Waiting for Synaptic to close...' </li>
<li>Close the Synaptic.</li>
<li>Install what you want from the Ubuntu Software Center. (and perhaps also from terminal - not tested)</li>
</ol>
<p>What I'm missing? How can I set up other programs (mainly the Terminal and the Ubuntu Software Center) to succeed connecting to internet?</p>
<p>UPDATE: Yes, I've pressed the <code>Apply changes system-wide</code>... in the Ubuntu's Network Proxy's dialog.</p>

So the only Use I can have so far is to have some text-based monitoring or console that I can watch while working on the graphic display. </p>
<p>I know there are some development done for DisplayLink, but I never could get it to actually run properly. </p>
<p>Yes, I tried the detailed setup described in other <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/3348/how-to-get-lilliput-usb-monitor-running-in-ubuntu">posts</a>, but they did not work, and instead crashed my X that I had to restore. </p>

It then uses the database to provide the interface that you can use to browse, search and play music. It also allows you to edit the tags in files. Tags replace the semantics of the underlying file hierarchy.</p>\n\n<p>Your default music location is there for when you rip CDs. CDs don't contain tag information so Rhythmbox looks them up online and then uses your preferences to create the music files on your disk with your preferred naming scheme.</p>\n\n<p>If you don't like the way Rhythmbox works, you can install other music players from Ubuntu Software Centre:</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/K4GOy.png\" alt=\"alternate music players\"></p>\n\n<p>As you can see, there is plenty of choice.</p>\n",

E.g. \"if the detected hardware is an USB printer, add it to the print server (CUPS)\" is an example of such rule, and it would look something like this:</p>\n\n<pre><code># Low-level USB device add trigger\nACTION==\"add\", SUBSYSTEM==\"usb\", ATTR{bInterfaceClass}==\"07\", ATTR{bInterfaceSubClass}==\"01\", RUN+=\"udev-configure-printer add %p\"\n# usblp device add trigger (needed when usblp is already loaded)\nACTION==\"add\", KERNEL==\"lp*\", RUN+=\"udev-configure-printer add %p\"\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>The above is part of <code>/lib/udev/rules.d/70-printers.rules</code> (at least, on 10.10), which also includes a rule for removing the printer from CUPS if you unplug it.</p>\n\n<p>BTW: <a href=\"http://www.usb.org/developers/defined_class/#BaseClass07h\" rel=\"nofollow\">USB class 7 are USB printers</a>.</p>\n\n<p>In some cases you might have to change some configuration files, but that would be considered a bug or a necessary workaround (some hardware is impossible or difficult to detect).</p>\n",

<p>I am able to update using apt, and i am able to ping too. It seems like there is a DNS issue, when i try to goto sites from firefox, it doesn't work. I tried disabling the ipv6 in firefox config, it doesn't work.</p>
<p>My router is on 192.168.2.1 instead of 192.168.1.1</p>
<p>any ideas on what config i might need to change to make this work? or could this be a drive issue?</p>

<pre><code>echo '+\%Y' | sed -e 's|\\||g' | date

<p>I'm thinking I can create a special date script that will output the date in the format I want, and call that instead, but I'm still wondering if it's possible to do it directly in the cron command.</p>

<p>When enabled via a simple <kbd>Alt</kbd>-<kbd>C</kbd> shortcut, selections could be made with the mouse or cursor keys and they would be visual blocks rather than wrapped-lines.</p>
<p>These selections could be deleted, moved, copied, pasted, and all of the operations just made sense. You could also just start typing, and you'd get a column of the characters as you're typing.</p>

<p>If someone could point me to a gedit plugin where this work is actively being pursued, perhaps I could help with the coding myself. If someone is aware of a text editor that already provides this full functionality, I'd appreciate the info. Running crimson editor through wine and the close-but-not-quite multi-edit plugin for gedit are the temporary solutions I'm 'getting by with' for the time being.</p>
<p>UPDATE (2012-11): I'm now a very happy user of <a href="http://www.sublimetext.com/">sublime text</a>. It supports excellent column-mode editing and works on all three major OS platforms without any issue. Highly recommended!</p>

6465 | 1 | 7625 | 2010-10-12T15:29:39.613 | 6 | 5339 | <p>I have some strange wireless connection problems after upgrading to 10.10. I was using 10.04 before and everything was fine.</p>
<p><strong>The problem</strong></p>
<p>I can connect to my access point but I'm constantly losing the connection randomly. I can surf for 5 minutes or 2 hours without any problem and then it simply looses the connection. It tries to reconnect but fails and starts asking me for the password again. Retyping it and hitting connect doesn't help. After a lot of time it eventually connects again.</p>
<p>I have tried to delete the connection in the connection manager and to reconnect again as if it would be a new connection. Then it works instantly.</p>
<p>I have no clue how to solve it nor was I able to find any answer on the internewbz.</p>
<p><strong>EDIT:</strong> Providing some lines of syslog.</p>
