After upgrading to 10.04 a few months ago, I've had this strange problem. As soon as I unplug the laptop from the power source I get the warning dialog telling me that my battery is critically low, and the laptop suspends, regardless of what the battery level actually is. If I then turn the laptop back on, it runs fine and shows the correct battery level.</p>
<p>I've been working around this by manually suspending before switching to battery power, but I'm wondering if anyone else knows the cause or a fix.</p>

One feature that I love is the fact that because I used Wubi it doesn't seem to create a separate partition. Through what I can only imagine is some VM magic Windows and Ubuntu live together on the same hard drive without a partition and you can even access Windows files from within Ubuntu and visa versa. I also have a MacBook and I would love to be able to install Ubuntu on the MacBook as well but I don't want to surrender a portion of my disk space to a different operating system. Is there currently a way to do the whole Wubi VM "virtual partition" on a Mac?</p>

<p>Can I restore the previous functionality? I seem to recall that I <code>Okay</code>-ed a dialogue during the installation, but I can't, for the life of me, remember what it said. Or if it gave any clues as to how to later change that opinion.</p>
<hr />
<p><strong>Edited</strong> to note that, as of Ubuntu 11.04, the <code>~/</code> shortcut has been restored.</p>

<p>The touchpad and left, middle, and right click buttons are all on the trackpad, and it the bottom end depresses to click accordingly for each kind of click. </p>
<p>In 10.04, everything worked fine, upon upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10 things became... odd. The scroll on the side would work, as would the left click. The right click wouldn't work however, but if you would lightly tap the exact right corner of the touchpad, the right click menu would come up, though it was inconsistent and difficult to make it do so.</p>
<p>I have applied a fix I found on the older Ubuntu Forums for a similar issue, and it restored the normal left and right click, but it isn't as fluid, and there isn't the vertical scroll feature, which I do rather like to have... </p>

6560 | 1 | 6690 | 2010-10-12T20:33:31.967 | 7 | 3784 | <p>Firstly, I should say I am enjoying the new Unity interface. It's not without it's peccadilloes, however. My main concern, for the purposes of my question, is that there are a couple of applications that I have installed which do not appear in the Application list accessed on the Unity Launcher. Is there a way to force Unity to acknowledge these skipped over programs?</p>
<p>One of the programs I am having trouble with is Ryzom, a online role playing game. It's a game that doesn't require a traditional install like most programs. You simply extract to a folder in your Home directory and run the client program. Perhaps Unity doesn't recognize programs that aren't "installed". Can I add Ryzom to the Applications list so I can start it without resorting to Terminal? I've tried using the Main Menu function in System, but apparently that has no bearing on what applications show up in Unity. That would explain why all the program I had hidden in Main Menu are showing up in Unity.</p>
<p>Thanks for any insight you can give.</p>

6659 | 1 | 6673 | 2010-10-13T02:48:25.930 | 4 | 3265 | <p><strong>I'm a bit confused about doing backups with rsync/rdiff-backup / rsnapshot via SSH.</strong></p>
<p>I've been looking at utilities such as backupninja and rsnapshot. These are rsync / rdiff based backup systems, capable of being scheduled to do backups over SSH. Reading the manual pages, it seems to be leading me to believe it is <strong>only possible to configure these utilities to <em>pull</em> FROM the client TO the server</strong>, whereas I thought it was possible to schedule these to <strong><em>push TO the server FROM the client</em></strong>. Am I mistaken here?</p>
<p>Meaning:</p>
<p>I want to have my laptop running the rdiff-backup / rsnapshot utility via cron to back up to my home server.</p>
<ol>
<li>My laptop runs cron job nightly (if it's on home network) ... and connects via SSH to my home server, (because my server has the static IP address and not vice versa)</li>
<li>Laptop pushes data to backup directory on server.</li>
<li>If laptop is not on home network, it does not perform backup.</li>
</ol>
<p>Am I doing this backwards?</p>
<p>...</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE:</strong></p>
<p>I have currently installed rsnapshot on the server machine, and gotten it running pulling backups manually from the laptop, but I still think this seems to make more sense to have the laptop push to the server, because it's only going to be connected at home intermittently. </p>
<p><strong>Still waiting for a response on whether this is the proper way to be doing this, or whether the reverse order (server pulling from laptop) is appropriate method. Input please?</strong></p>

<p><strong>What happens if rsnapshot or rdiff-backup gets interrupted in the middle of a transfer?</strong> </p>
<p>I know that rsnapshot tries to make a complete snapshot of your system in rotating fashion, and rdiff-backup makes a differential backup, which is going to be based on the files previously saved behind it.</p>
<p>So: What happens if it gets interrupted in the middle?</p>
<p><strong>Does this result in an "incomplete snapshot"?</strong> </p>
<p>Will other snapshots which are dependent on this one be corrupted? (Surely not, but... ?) </p>

An example preseed file can be found at the <a href=\"http://www.debian.org/releases/lenny/example-preseed.txt\" rel=\"nofollow\">debian website</a>. The example provides most of the options that you may want to modify.</p>\n\n<p>When it gets down to implementation, there are a few more steps to be followed:</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><p>Obtain the image. You can choose between a full image and a <a href=\"http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso\" rel=\"nofollow\">mini iso</a> which downloads a fresh copy of packages off the internet. The process is slightly different, but mostly analogous.</p></li>\n<li><p>Once you have the image, you need to extract files from the iso. There might be a one-step way to do this, but this is how I've always done it like this:</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 mini.iso /mnt\ncp -rf /mnt /path/to/extractdir\nsudo umount /mnt\n</code></pre></li>\n<li><p>Now you create the preseed file that you want to use. In the mini iso, since you don't really have a hierarchy, just put it in the root folder. In the regular server install, put it in the preseed folder. It is your choice where you want to put it/what you want to call it.</p></li>\n<li><p>Once you have the preseed, you need to specify it to the kernel. In the mini iso, you need to edit <code>text.cfg</code>, or in the full install, <code>isolinux/text.cfg</code> to include your preseed by editing the <code>APPEND</code> line as follows:</p>\n\n<pre><code>APPEND arg1 arg2=value2 arg3 ... file=/cdrom/path/to/preseed/file locale=en_US console-setup/ask_detect=false console-setup/layout=us --\n</code></pre></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p><strong>Don't remove existing values unless you know what you're doing</strong></p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><p>Once you're done modifying the preseed and text.cfg files, you need to repack things as an ISO. To do this, you need to put isolinux on the CD to make it bootable. Now, <code>cd</code> to the root directory of the extracted image, and do the following [taken from the syslinux website:</p>\n\n<pre><code>cd /path/to/extractdir\nmkisofs -o output.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -R -J -T .\n</code></pre></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>You need to add the <code>-l</code> (or <code>-iso-level 2</code>)flag to support longer file names.</p>\n\n<p>Your iso is at <code>output.iso</code> and ready to be burned!</p>\n",

<p>For those unfamiliar, libpurple is the library used by Pidgin, and when you choose to save your passwords, it does so as plain text under <code>~/.purple/accounts.xml</code>. </p>
<p>The reasoning behind this is that if someone can access your user account, you have bigger problems to worry about, among <a href="http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/PlainTextPasswords" rel="nofollow noreferrer">other valid points</a>.</p>
<p>My main worry is that I use my gmail account in Pidgin, and so my gmail password is stored in plain text. Access to someone's email means access to 90% of their other accounts, via password recovery features on most sites. <em>Eeek</em>.</p>
<p>Consider that...</p>
<ul>
<li>My /home is encrypted, if someone gets physical access to the drive</li>
<li>I always lock my system when I walk away</li>
<li>I'm sensible about installing unofficial packages</li>
<li>Any application I run in userland has access to my user files</li>
</ul>
<p>How safe is this really? Are there any other threats that could potentially access accounts.xml?</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies! So far have:</p>

</ul>
<p>I'm happy that my data is safe in case of theft. I'm more worried about some process crafted to target these unsecured files. Then again the nature of open source software makes it difficult for malicious apps, as public code review will expose the malicious code.</p>

It seemed to work - but then there is the WMware Kernel Module Updater which fails with "Unable to build kernel module." The logfile doesn't help me.

<p>Is this a problem of wmware, ubuntu or me? What do I have to do now? And why is there no "apt-get install vmware-workstation"-way?</p>

I just plugged it in and rebooted to see if Xwindows could handle it without any tweaking (it couldn't). This wasn't a big deal, but it seems to have screwed something up. I unplugged the tv and plugged my monitor back in and rebooted, but now I cannot use full-screen Flash at all. If I pull up (for example) a Youtube video and click the full-screen button, the screen flashes, then goes back to firefox, and the embedded video disappears and is replaced with a tan box. I've included the errors I get when I run firefox from a terminal below.</p>

<p>But now she wants to install Windows to play video files incoded with 'wmv9' because I can't get her notebook/netbook to run it (the audio plays ok, but not the video).
I've already installed VLC, RealPlayer, Kubuntu-restricted-extras and the first codec package from <a href="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/essential-20071007.tar.bz2" rel="nofollow">mplayer</a> download page.</p>
<p>When I test the same files in my notebook (which has the same software installed, but a differente hardware configuration), they run ok (both audio and video). Does anyone have a clue about what should I do? Thx in advance!</p>

6761 | 1 | null | 2010-10-13T11:41:35.430 | 2 | 1044 | <p>I would like to ask for some help debugging an irritating problem I'm having with my Packard Bell EasyNote MZ35 and Ubuntu 10.10.</p>
<p>Always when the laptop is connected to a wireless network and the AC power lead is unplugged—so it's running on battery power—the system freezes. The screen turns black and shows the error <code>GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)</code>, although this error is completely unrelated to the actual problem.</p>
<p>Previous searches on the internet indicate that this error is unrelated to the bug I'm experiencing. It is suggested that Ubuntu tries to hibernate or suspend and that you're seeing the black screen running 'behind' the X server. That would explain the fact that curiously you still see—but cannot move—the mouse cursor.</p>
<p>I've already set all the values of the GConf keys in /apps/gnome-power-manager/actions/ to 'nothing', disabled all power management actions I could find, but it didn't solve the problem. It is important to note that the freeze doesn't happen immediately after you unplug the AC power lead. The icon in the notification area may have changed already, but the freeze only occurs when the Notify OSD bubble appears that tells you how many time is left with your battery.</p>
<p>Does anyone here have a clue about this problem? A workaround or the cause? If anyone could help me with disabling possible suspend/hibernate behaviour that might be related to this issue, that would be appreciated too.</p>
<p>This issue has been reported as <a href="https://launchpad.net/bugs/666852" rel="nofollow noreferrer">bug #666852</a>.</p>
