<p>Have never compressed anything in Ubuntu, but because I wanted to use the contents of a large folder on a Windows machine, I installed 7zip. Using Places, I navigated to the folder I wanted to compress, right-clicked, chose Compress, selected 7-zip and started the compression. This took many minutes to complete (the final 7z file is over 2.2 GB), but when I copied it to the windows machine, 7-zip handles it fine.</p>
<p>However, now when I open Places, the Home Folder, User folder, Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos and Downloads all open the Archive Manager which gives an error message that it "Could not create the archive" because the "Archive type not supported."</p>
<p>If I open Places/Computer choose the usr folder from places on the left and right-click/Properties on any of the folders, Music for instance, there is no place to change the "open with."</p>
<p>Anyone know how to get this working again.</p>

In a day or two I will get a new 64GB SSD in the mail and want to boot from that for obvious reasons. I was wondering if there was an easy way to transfer both OS's from my current hard drive to my SSD. I would normally reinstall the two on the new disk but my windows7 product key only works for activation once and I would like to keep it. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>I have tried Kubuntu (KDE), and it was very cool as cool as Ubuntu (GNOME). but there is little problem with its user interface when we start Java application (LimeWire, Netbeans, Eclipse). User interface changed to Metal, (which I think is a bit old school).</p>
<p>Can we run it with Qt like UI?, such as when we start Java application in Gnome (run with GTK like UI/emulation GTK like UI)?</p>
<p>I hear there is a class for Java in order to make Java application UI like Qt, called the Qt/Jambi bindings for Java. How can we integrate it in KDE when we start Java application?</p>
<p>My other question is if not wrong, OpenOffice was built in Java,so why OpenOffice can run with Qt like UI in KDE?</p>

This has resulted in disturbing others around me. Does any one know of a way to mute the speakers (and potentiality pause VLC) when headphones are unplugged?</p>
<p>I would like to do this on my Laptop. It is an Acer Aspire One D150. The speakers are built-in to the computer. My headphones are standard 1/8 in which connect through the headphone jack.</p>

Let me know if this doesn't help."</p>\n<p>EDIT/UPDATE: okay, this may not work nicely if you have your alsa configured so that it automatically mutes speakers when headphones are plugged in. You may need to disable that if you have it set.</p>\n<p>Anyway, get some music anything with sound playing so you can test your sound output. Now open your Terminal console and type <code>alsamixer</code>. Check it out. Pretty cool, right? Here, you can adjust the volume levels for master, headphone, speaker, as well as other inputs/outputs.</p>\n<p>In alsamixer, set your volume how you want it for when your speakers are on. Headphones can be at any volume you like. I'd put your "speaker" at 100% and your master at ~75%. We are going to save this in a profile now! Hit escape to exit alsamixer. If you open it again, you will see that your settings are still saved.</p>\n<p>After you have set volume how you want it for having your speakers on, type in the console, <code>alsactl -f filename store</code> except change "filename" to whatever you want to call it. I called mine noheadph.alsa. Now go back into alsamixer and set your headphone volume up, and your speakers at 0%, leaving master volume wherever you prefer it. Exit alsamixer by hitting escape, and save this profile by typing <code>alsactl -f filename store</code> except this time, replace "filename" with something relevant, such as "headph.alsa". Now, you can recall/restore to either of these profiles by typing <code>alsactl -f filename restore</code> obviously replacing "filename" with whatever you named your stored profiles. Isn't this cool?! Note that the profiles should be stored in your home user directory.</p>\n<p>What's left? Just bind a keystroke restore one profile, and another to restore the other one! How? On the OS menu Go to System> Preferences> Keyboard Shortcuts. Here, click "add" to add a new shortcut. I named mine "set soundout headphones only" and entered the command <code>alsactl -f /home/username/headph.alsa restore</code> except change "username" to your user account name. I think you get the gist! :)</p>\n<p>Please tell me how it goes for you.\nThanks to <a href=\"https://superuser.com/questions/89164/how-to-make-sound-profiles-on-ubuntu-9-10\">this thread</a> for the alsamixer info, etc.</p>\n<p>P.S.

In the same way that mailto links work you can have it launch your application when a specific url (ie. myapp:) is put into a web browser address bar.</p>
<p>This registry entry seems to work for the common browsers and does not require specific setup for each possible browser.</p>
<p>I have in the past, set a custom protocol handler in Firefox on Linux however... I was wondering if there was a way to do it system wide so that it would work the same for Chromium, etc as well?</p>

<p>There is a bug with GVFS which is preventing developers, like myself, from using IDE's in 10.10. We need to downgrade to 10.04 to use our IDE software. I'd call it a critical bug.</p>
<p>We've reported it in these bug reports:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-vfs/+bug/658069">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-vfs/+bug/658069</a></li>
<li><a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/geany/+bug/643253">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/geany/+bug/643253</a></li>
</ul>
<p>But, so far there has been absolutely no official response that I can see. How do I get it seen quickly and fixed?</p>
<p>I understand patience is always a good idea, but is there anything else that can be done to these bug reports to raise attention to them?</p>
<p>I am happy to wait, but if there is something we can do to speed up the process, it would be good to know it :)</p>

Bug triagers and developers tend to be subscribed to the bug mail of packages they're interested in or responsible from, so for the relevant people to look into your bug in a timely manner, it needs to be filed with a package specified, and the correct one. If you have trouble determining what the right package is, <a href=\"https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage\">this wiki page</a> may help.</p></li>\n<li><p>Make sure your bug contains relevant debugging information. In most cases, <a href=\"https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs\">filing your report using ubuntu-bug</a> will ensure this, but there's a wealth of information on <a href=\"https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures\">debugging procedures</a> on the wiki that will also come in handy.</p></li>\n<li><p>If your report looks all fine, but there's no response for a long time, try announcing it on #ubuntu-bugs on Freenode by citing the bug number to see if any bug triagers around can push it in the right direction. Remember that most triagers and developers are volunteers with constrained time and energy, and being too assertive can discourage people from helping you. If nobody around seems to be able to help, try another time of the day.</p></li>\n<li><p>If you know the particular people whom you think should be looking into your bug, give them a ping on IRC (you can see people's IRC nicknames in their Launchpad profiles), or subscribe them to the bug explaining why you subscribed them with a polite and concise comment immediately afterwards. Don't <em>assign</em> them; just subscribe them, don't subscribe teams unless specifically instructed to do so, and don't mass-subscribe anyone to multiple bugs at the same time.</p></li>\n</ul>\n",

A few key things about it really stand out. It can be used with a wide variety of VCSs: git, mercurial, darcs, or bzr. It also does auto commits daily and whenever you install, remove or upgrade package. It also keeps track of file permissions and user/group ownership metadata.</p>
<p>I would also like to keep my "dot files" in my home directory under version control as well, preferably bazaar. Does anyone know if a tool like etckeeper exists for this purpose? </p>
<p>Worst case, I imagine that a simple cron job running <code>bzr add && bzr ci</code> once or twice a day along with adding <code>~/Documents</code>, <code>~/Music</code>, etc to the <code>.bzrignore</code> Anyone already doing something similar with a script?</p>
<p>While I'd prefer bazaar, other options might be interesting.</p>

The cloning works well. But if there are some custom installed apps in the originally installed machine, after cloning the clones don't show up custom apps in the gnome panel. I have partly solved the problem by booting into recovery mode and selecting 'repair broken packages' But I have a slow internet connection and it takes very long time on each machine. Another solution was to create shortcuts for those apps on the desktop on the original machine, which also appear on the cloned machines. Is there any way to make cloned machines show all the apps in the gnome panel.</p>

The results of this are:</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><p>less code/data can fit into processor caches -> more cache misses -> your super-fast processor waits more for memory controller to fetch data from RAM. Processor also needs to read <em>more</em> data because it's more bloated.</p></li>\n<li><p>Linux uses non-allocated RAM to cache disks. Less free memory available -> less space for disk caches -> slower disk access</p></li>\n<li><p>Once you're out of RAM and the system starts swapping - disk access is thousands times slower than RAM, so any potential benefits of 64-bit code (see below) are flying out of window.</p></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>On the other hand, in 64-bit mode processor has more registers, so it doesn't need to access memory that often, also, some calculations (64-bit numbers etc.) are more efficient. So generally, code which is not memory-restricted runs slightly faster in 64-bit mode.</p>\n\n<p>So, if your system has, say, 2GiB of RAM or less then I would definitely choose 32 bits. More than 4GiB - the benefits of 64 bits are becoming more prominent. Around 4GiB is a \"grey zone\" - you need to make a choice yourself. </p>\n\n<p>Here are screenshots of a (rather old) vanilla Ubuntu running in a VirtualBox with 1GiB RAM:</p>\n\n<p><strong>32 bit:</strong> uses 388 MiB of RAM right after booting, no additional applications running (from the screenshot, 397780KiB, which is 388MiB)</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/W2YWu.jpg\" alt=\"32 bit Ubuntu\"></p>\n\n<p><strong>64 bit:</strong> uses 491 MiB of RAM (from the screenshot, 503452KiB = 491MiB)</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/BMEbH.jpg\" alt=\"64 bit Ubuntu\"></p>\n\n<p>Additionally, in my testing, a web-application written in Python used up to 60% more memory on a 64-bit machine which resulted in a test suite running in 380 secs on a 32-bit machine but taking 523 seconds on a 64-bit one (both with 1GiB of RAM). If the machines were not RAM-limited the results would likely be different (as phoronix tests show).</p>\n\n<p>Here are some more thorough and recent tests: <a href=\"http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~cking/x32/Quantal-x32-power-memory-comparisons.ods\" rel=\"noreferrer\">http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~cking/x32/Quantal-x32-power-memory-comparisons.ods</a></p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/KFBpL.png\" alt=\"mem free\">\n<img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/wv5gT.png\" alt=\"mem used\">\n<img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/UA3uW.png\" alt=\"swap used\"></p>\n\n<p><strong>Basically, it's like giving up 30% of your RAM in exchange of <em>possible gain</em> of 10% CPU speed.</strong></p>\n",

7079 | 1 | 7082 | 2010-10-14T08:19:44.907 | 25 | 41220 | <p>By default Ubuntu uses DHCP and Gnome NetworkManger to configure interfaces. This is not optimal in many cases.</p>
<p>How to configure a desktop machine for a static IP address that applies to all users?</p>
<p><strong>Additional background</strong>: For 99.9% of users a static DHCP entry is probably the easiest solution, however I have found a conflict with <code>mythtv-background</code> process and any changes to the eth0 interface. If the interface is brought up/down after mythtv is running, it hangs the process (which also broke system suspend). So my questions really needs a <strong>static</strong> IP address, where the interface is brought up with a known IP, and stays up permanently.</p>

I have ssh access to it at the moment with root user.</p>

<p>name of my ubuntudesktop = ubuntuhome (192.168.1.22)

<pre><code>keysym Delete = Menu
keysym Menu = Delete
clear Lock

<p>In other words, swap <code>Delete</code> and <code>Menu</code>, and make <code>Caps Lock</code> an additional <code>Escape</code>.</p>
<p>The next time I logged in, Ubuntu asked me if I wanted to load <code>~/.Xmodmap</code> as expected. I loaded it, but nothing happened (either then or on subsequent logins). If I manually run <code>xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap</code>, it works as expected.</p>
<p>I know that this worked early in the 10.10 beta, but it's failing on my fresh 10.10 install. I haven't tried in on anything earlier than 10.10. Any ideas?</p>
<p>Edit: I put some debugging statements in <code>/etc/gdm/Xsession</code> to make sure <code>~/.Xmodmap</code> was loading, and everything magically started working. I didn't change anything except adding some echos, and it's still working now that I reverted my changes and restarted again. Strangest thing I ever saw.</p>
<p>One thing I realized is that the "remap Caps Lock to Escape" part of the Xmodmap was always working. It was just the Delete/Menu swap that failed. I'll leave this question open for now in case anyone else has the same problem, since I don't actually know why the problem stopped.</p>

When I plug the ipod in it shows up under the devices section of the menu, but after that I am unable to do anything with it. </p>
<p>I can't see the songs that are already on it, I can't add new songs, I can't do anything. When i attempt to drag a song across, absolutely nothing happens. if i try the sync with library option, it shuts rhythymbox down completely. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Hi, I have some applications installed which don't have a "Keep in Launcher" option in launcher right-click menu. These apps (emacs for example) were installed via Ubuntu Software Manager.</p>
<p>Windows 7 can do it, you know.</p>

<p>To outsmart, I stole the Lucid's Ambiance and Radiance Standard Themes for use in the Maverick.</p>
<p>Is any another solution for the default theme Ambiance and Radiance in Maverick run perfectly on both the application? And especially for the theme Equinox.</p>
