I just came across this <a href="http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2010/10/17/shuttleworth-admits-it.html" rel="nofollow">post</a> via <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1800766" rel="nofollow">Hacker News</a> and wonder what is all the fuss about? Ubuntu will always be free, right? That is a promise no one is intending to break. More than that, The Ubuntu itself, will remain licensed under same licenses it is today, right? I would appreciate if one can tell how this shall affect our use of the great Ubuntu whatsoever.

{ "accepted": true, "body": "I think there are two things here.\nFirst : Ubuntu is and will remain free. At least, that's what <a href=\"http://www.ubuntu.com/project\" rel=\"nofollow\">they claim</a>.\nThis should answer some of your concerns.\n\nThen there is Canonical. This company is a for-profit company, supposed to make money by contributing/supporting Ubuntu. Since Ubuntu is free, they obviously need to find other means of making money. And this is where the problem lies : in order to make money, they plan to add new services/features that will not be part of Ubuntu, but sold alongside it.\nUbuntu One is an example.\n\nWhat is debated here is their way to achive that : by forcing evey contributor to give up their freedom in licencing model, and let canonical \"own\" everything contributed. This giving up of freedom is an ethical problem. It goes against the \"mind\" of the free software licences. And could break the free spirit of Ubuntu itself.\n\nI think the main issue is a question that we can't answer now: how much of Ubuntu will stay \"free\" as it is claimed, and how much will be optional services sold by canonical ?\nIf more and more \"super-features\" are being added as paying options, you could argue that Ubuntu is less free than it should... Especially if those features are proprietary software (lacking even the \"free-as-in-speach\" side of the \"free\" meaning).\n\nRight now, I think Canonical is still doing its job, and I still appreciate it. Ubuntu is a really solid and user-oriented distribution, and I won't change because of this article. But that's a personal statement, and since I'm not a defenser of the free software, it cannot be seen as \"the\" answer to the question.\n\nMoreover, I really don't have a crystal ball to look at the future :-) In some years from now, maybe I will change my mind and start using something else because Canonical has been pushing too far their commitment for profitability...

I've got pretty much the same problem as <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=293883">this old 2006 thread on the Ubuntu forums</a>: my old laptop's lid is a bit shaky, which causes the computer to wakeup/suspend if I just touch it the wrong way (e.g. lifting it up to move it). Back then, the fix (see link) was to have a startup script disable LID in /proc/acpi/wakeup every time the computer boots. I'm wondering if there's a better, less hacky, solution?

I have an Acer Aspire one, with screen resolution of 1024x600. Standard monitor resolution that is closest to this is 1024x768. Is there a way to "compress" a programs output to the screen (assuming it wants to display on a 1024x768 screen) so that it is viewable on a non standard resolution (1024x600) The problem I have is that Citrix is trying to use 1024x768 but my screen is 1024x600. This ends up cutting off the bottom 168 pixels at the bottom of the image. Often this makes the Citrix program unusable since many GUI forms have buttons somewhere in this cutoff area. Is there a way to fix this?

I was getting the error mentioned <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/7675/init-premount-script-error">in this post</a> on Ubuntu 10.04. I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 through software update and again I'm getting this error. <pre><code>mount: mounts none on /dev/pts failed: Device </code></pre> Here is the boot log: <pre><code>IP-Config: no response after 4 secs - giving up /scripts/init-premount/dropbear: line 32: ipconfig: not found /scripts/init-premount/dropbear: line 32: ipconfig: not found /scripts/init-premount/dropbear: line 32: ipconfig: not found /scripts/init-premount/dropbear: line 32: ipconfig: not found /scripts/init-premount/dropbear: line 32: ipconfig: not found /scripts/init-premount/dropbear: line 32: ipconfig: not found /scripts/init-premount/dropbear: line 32: ipconfig: not found /scripts/init-premount/dropbear: .: line 32: can't open '/tmp/net-*.conf' fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 </code></pre> I had purged dropbear, and it looks like some scripts are still remaining. Is it possible to do a clean re-install of initramfs? EDIT 1: <code>sudo update-initramfs -u</code> doesn't solve the issue. Also <code>sudo update-initramfs -c -k all</code> also doesn't solve the issue.

I did an Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop Edition clean install (amd64 version) on a notebook Medion Akoya E1311. With AC adapter everything works fine, but using battery, it hangs after login screen. I can type login, password too, and I can press login button. But then I can see mouse cursor and lower task bar, not upper, and nothing works. The only thing I can do is login on a terminal with ctrl+alt+F1, this is ok. Nothing seems alive on Gnome except mouse cursor. The only thing I did after Ubuntu fresh install was donwloading driver for RTL8191SE from Realtek web, because WiFi didn't work, now works fine, with ac adapter of course.

I need to be able to log the times that an Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop system is suspended and resumed. I can detect when the system is resumed via a DBus signal (org.freedesktop.UPower.Resuming()) but the corresponding "org.freedesktop.UPower.Sleeping()" signal is never fired. Ideally, I'd like to use DBus, but given the lack of success I'm having, I'd be happy with any solution providing it can be called from the command line. I've discovered one way to do it: tail -f /var/log/pm-suspend.log | grep "performing suspend" This simply listens on one of the pm logs for the suspend logging. Although this works, it's probably rather brittle. I've found relying on log parsing to be rather problematic in the past due to changes in the log statements. Ideally I'd like a more robust mechanism. The service that invokes this will be ran as root.

I know that asking for something like Visual Studio is too much but something that will let me write, debug and compile in a GUI instead of the command line is good enough for me. (Not that I'm lazy, but I don't have time to learn the necessary commands...)

Does anyone have any good ideas as to native MySQL GUI clients for Ubuntu? So far I've tried <a href="https://www.mysql.com/products/workbench/">MySQL Workbench</a>, which never seemed to work properly, <a href="https://www.phpmyadmin.net/">phpMyAdmin</a> which I found a bit slow, and <a href="https://www.navicat.com/products/navicat-for-mysql">Navicat</a> which is a windows port and runs under wine, but none of these is perfect. In an ideal world, I'm looking for something like a native version of navicat.

Here's what I am trying to accomplish: I have a bunch of AVI videos between which I need to switch back/forth as songs play in the concert. The only requirements for the software are that: <ul> <li>videos need to be seamless (no player GUI showing up on the projection)</li> <li>I can go to previous/next video in the playlist through the keyboard</li> <li>when switching between videos in the playlist, there should be a cross-fade or fade-out / fade-in transition.</li> </ul> Can you point me towards a piece of software that can do that for me? Thanks!

I like the functionality of <a href="http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/" rel="nofollow">Yahoo Pipes</a>, but don't want to leave the task of processing RSS feeds to a privately owned web service which might disappear tomorrow and I don't exactly trust my data with. I'd like to do this with software I can run locally (on a server or desktop; doesn't matter). There must be something out there that handles some of the basic functionality of Pipes such as merging feeds, filtering, querying for keywords, etc. but I'm having a hard time finding it. There are various parsers that might do the job, but they're overly flexible and require much configuration upfront. Ideally I'd have something in the lines of a simple command that I can run in a cron job, or a daemon, which will fetch some feeds, perform the operations I want, and output or serve the resulting RSS feed. Any pointers appreciated.

I have a NetGear wireless usb receiver in my desktop, that connects to my router (tried both DLink and Belkin) prefectly fine, however will simply disconnect after minutes, 10s of minutes, a couple of hours (no real pattern) at which time I will need to unplug and reinsert my usb receiver and reauthenticate to the router. It appears to be happening alot more frequently when the pc is left unused for a while, and goes to the screen saver. This has been hapenning on 10.04 and 10.10 (gnome) (and possibly 9.10 as well, though I have updated my gear since then) Rather than expect someone to give me a magic bullet solution (that I'm happy to get :) ), as a novice user, what should I be looking at to troubleshoot this? I have looked at <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/3085/wireless-not-working">this</a> question already, and to my (limited) understanding, don't see that it addresses the issue, unless there is someway of ascertaining what chipset it used. EDIT Looks like there are 2 drivers for the WN111 V2, the first does not support N routers, and the second is 'N speeds not verified'. I may have to shop around for a better one :/

I have ufw set up to allow samba connections, but this does not seem to allow files to be transferred through Ubuntu's "Personal File Sharing" using the Public folder. The share can be seen, but not accessed if the firewall is active. Are there extra ports that need to be opened? The default ufw profile opens ports 137, 138, 139 and 445. To this, I've added 135 and 80, but so far, no joy. I do see connection attempts coming in on high ports (32K+) but these are blocked.

I've very recently started trialing VIM, and I like what it can do, but its unfamiliar keybindings and modes of operation are daunting. I want that sort of power in a Text-Editor... but if I don't need to change my keyboard habits so drastically, I'd be happier. I read that CREAM is built directly onto a VIM base, so I tried it. CREAM feels a bit more like the type of Text-Editor I am used to; Notepad++ Notepad++ is Windows-only, and is too buggy in Wine, and I'd rather a cross-platform solution... but... Can CREAM do everything that VIM can? Is CREAM restricted in any way by tweaking VIM so far out of its natural shape?

I have a web application that outputs to a number of log files with performance information. One log file outputs code execution times and another outputs SQL timings. I have no control over the logger or the code that produces the log files, but I want to output the logs in one place. Currently I am doing something like this <pre><code>tail -f sqlLogs.log | grep sql-time tail -f perflogs.log | grep exec-time </code></pre> This outputs something to the console every time an SQL is executed in the application. But I have to run the code in two separate SSH sessions. However, what I want to be able to tail both files, in the same SSH session. Is this possible?

I have problem with my Sony Vaio Z VPCZ1. It has physical selector of GPUs which Linux kernel does not detect. So after GRUB I see black display (I tried different distributions of Ubuntu and other Linux OS). I read in Ubuntu 10.10 was solve same problem with hybrid graphics but not in my case I found solutions (not easy at do) for oldest models. PS. for more information I found different webs: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/edit?id=1DxDty2YGNJwq_I8zmVZxDMMXBP6g4HjaDjLfVfTs034&hl=en&pli=1" rel="nofollow">https://docs.google.com/document/edit?id=1DxDty2YGNJwq_I8zmVZxDMMXBP6g4HjaDjLfVfTs034&hl=en&pli=1</a> Update (2011.04.30): I tried update to Ubuntu 11.04 on my VPCZ11C5E and all work (without any patch) fine less Intel GPU (only works Nvidia).

I am trying to redirect all incoming traffic on UDP port 5060 to port 56790, and all outgoing traffic from 5060 to the port 56789. I used these iptables rules: <pre><code>iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p udp ! -s localhost --dport 5060 -j REDIRECT --to-port 56790 iptables -t nat -I OUTPUT -p udp ! -s localhost --sport 5060 -j REDIRECT --to-port 56789 </code></pre> I listen on both ports using RAW SOCKETS after setting the interface to PROMISCUOUS mode using ioctl. I see packets ONLY on 56789 i.e.SENDING side, and I do not see any packets on 56790, while wireshark shows that many packets are delivered to port 5060. Why would this happen? Any ideas? Do you think it's a problem with iptables rules or something to do with raw sockets? [This is ubuntu 10.04 and iptables v1.4.4]

I've got two microphones. Both work well in Windows. However, in Ubuntu the first one (call it X) works fine, but the second one (call it Y) produces a lot of high-frequency noise. I know, the best thing to do is to buy a new microphone, but X is really old and the headset is broken, Y is almost new and works fine with Windows. Is there any way to apply a low-pass filter in ALSA? I've also noticed that the sound is a little bit softened...like telephone quality input. My soundcard is: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) i've got a toshiba notebook and I've just tried to edit the alsa config file adding this line: options snd-hda-intel model=auto ~ UPDATE ~ If I use <code>arecord test.wav -f CD</code> everything works fine.

The problem is this: since upgrading to 10.10, the terminal has gone a little funny. Here's a picture of the problem: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/CVU4w.png" alt="Weird stuff"> The problem affects <code>xterm</code> but not <code>gnome-terminal</code>. I also get similar weird artefacts in emacs (though only after I alt-tab away and back to the window for the first time). <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>-<kbd>L</kbd> or moving the window or <kbd>Alt</kbd>-<kbd>Tab</kbd>ing away and then back again makes the lines disappear. Someone asked about the problem on <a href="http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1597277" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ubuntu forums</a> with no luck so far.

When I hibernated my computer and I fire him back up, my network connection is lost in about 50% of the cases. The network applet finds other networks, but it can't find the network I was connected to before the hibernate. I have this most of the time with a wired connection but it also happens with a wireless connection. I've tried re-plugging the cable (or switching off and on the wireless card), disabling the network via the network applet and re-enable it. The only thing that works is the following: <ul> <li>log out</li> <li>log in back again</li> <li>disable all networks</li> <li>enable them again</li> </ul>

I am writing a MIDI sequencer in C++ using asoundlib. Sometimes I would like my application to stop all voices, calling an All-Notes-Off event. I do it by calling a note-off to every note at every channel, since this is the only way I know, but for some reasons I am not really happy to send 16*128=2048 events in one moment. Is there any other approach to that? It would be perfect if I could send an event to the control queue, is there any? If not, then what is the way it should be done? Any help is welcome, since the Internet lacks a good, detailed ALSA documentation.

I'm using Maverick and this is the setup: Our router connects us to the company's VPN through which we can access some internal websites. I have to connect also to a customer's VPN in order to use remote desktop and their websites daily. This customer has a web interface to connect to its VPN, it launches a Java App which signs us in and lets us use the services on their network. When I do this, I loose access to my company's VPN services (websites) in all browsers. This doesn't happen in the rest of the (Windows) boxes, and I'm the only one using GNU/Linux on the office. Right now, I log out of the customer's VPN to access the company's services, but I'm sure there's some solution so that I can use both VPNs together.

Yesterday I installed KDE through gnome in Ubuntu 10.10 and after some time I decided to uninstall kde manually through the Synaptic Package Manager. I completely removed all the packages which I thought were related to KDE and not critical for Gnome, but I was wrong as it turns out not only did I delete KDE I also deleted a lot of critical packages for Gnome. I think I deleted at least half of the critical packages and now I do not have even a terminal and a browser. Also when I rebooted I could not even log in to Ubuntu so this my question: is there a way to repair Ubuntu?

I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 and remove my existing Windows Installation. Ubuntu loads fine from the optical drive but then can't find a hard drive to install itself to. Both my optical / hard drive are SATA. I read somewhere that if my bios settings have my SATA Controller running in IDE mode that I should switch them to AHCI. I tried this and now the optical disk isn't recognized either (it just fails to boot from cd and jumps to windows after a spell). I do so badly want to replace Windows, but I'm not off to a good start. Any suggestions?

I'm using Ubuntu 10.10, but I find that this project is having issues with the version of mysql server that 10.10 installs. I have another machine running the same build of this project but it's running 10.04 and it doesn't have any problems. I found that the version are a little different (10.04 has 5.1.41 and 10.10 has 5.1.49). I would like to be able to install the lucid version on my maverick machine, but Google isn't turning up anything useful to accomplish this task. Anyone know how I would go about doing that? Thanks.

I have two notebooks (Notebook 1 with Ubuntu 10.04 and Notebook 2 with Ubuntu 10.10) in a home network and I want to share a folder on notebook 1 with samba. Notebook 2 should be able to read/write/delete content of the folder. I installed the packages samba and system-config-samba and I added a user and the share with read/write access to samba with the Samba Configuration GUI. When I enter <code>smb://notebook_1/folder</code> in Nautilus on notebook 2 I can enter username and password. But then I can only read the content of the folder. Changing files is not allowed. Can somebody help me? edit: Here is the part of my smb.conf, where the share is defined: <pre><code>[Images] path = /home/user1/Images writeable = yes ; browseable = yes valid users = avahi, user1 </code></pre> Do I need to add a semicolon in front of <code>writeable...</code>?

I'd like to connect to a wireless access point from the command-line. Ideally, I'd only need the name of the AP. But the hardware-address would work as well. I know I can use <code>nmcli</code> to connect to a managed network connection, but in my case, the access point may not be configured for Network-Manager yet (See the difference between the output of <code>nm-tool</code> and <code>nmcli con</code>). Example output of <code>nmcli</code>: <pre><code>Auto pwln 3a3d62b1-bbdf-4f76-b4d2-c211fd5cfb03 802-11-wireless [...] Wired Network aa586921-accf-4932-98c4-c873c310f08e 802-3-ethernet [...] Cisco-UDP Uni 7f94847b-04dc-40b7-9955-5246fb77cc65 vpn [...] T-mobile (D1) 867f345a-cbbf-4bd4-b883-a5e5ae0932f0 gsm [...] </code></pre> Example output of <code>nm-tool</code>: <pre><code>State: connected - Device: eth1 [Auto pwln] ---------------------------------------------------- [...] Wireless Access Points (* = current AP) *pwln: Infra, [...], Freq 2472 MHz, Rate 54 Mb/s, Strength 80 WPA WPA2 WLAN: Infra, [...], Freq 2422 MHz, Rate 54 Mb/s, Strength 20 WPA WPA2 [...] </code></pre> How do I connect to an access point that may or may not be known to NM? Extra: Finding out if the connection needs a pass-phrase, and submitting it on the command-line as well would be great too (that is to say It'd be nice if network-manager wouldn't pop open any keyring dialogues or errors on the gui)

Back Story I tried out the latest Netbook Remix on my Dell Inspiron 600m and it was badly broken. So, I've been trying to downgrade to a usable system. I've managed to restore a 10.04 Netbook Remix and restore my home dir but I still have the issue of linux not coming back from suspend. Linux 2.6.28-11-generic Now, I've downloaded the 9.04 installer and narrowed down the issue to the linux version being used. The stock linux 2.6.28-11-generic works perfectly. Suspend is fully operational and it even goes to sleep when you close the lid and wakes up when you open it. I can keep this version of linux by pinning the meta package and upgrading with apt-get. Unfortunately, the graphic tools don't work as well (for me ymmv) and the Update Manager looks like it will upgrade linux despite being asked not to. Pin linux-generic at current version To tell apt-get to leave the linux kernel untouched when it upgrades the system, we will pin the package linux-generic to the current version. On a fresh 9.04 Netbook install, the linux-generic package is at version 2.6.28.11.15 <pre><code>spinlock@sendack:~$ apt-cache policy linux-generic linux-generic: Installed: 2.6.28.11.15 Candidate: 2.6.28.19.24 Version table: 2.6.28.19.24 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty-updates/restricted Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com jaunty-security/restricted Packages *** 2.6.28.11.15 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/restricted Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status </code></pre> To pin this version we need to edit /etc/apt/policies (as root) and add the following lines: <pre><code>Package: linux-generic Pin: version 2.6.28.11* Priority: 1001 </code></pre> Upgrade with apt-get Now, you can upgrade the system with apt-get: <pre><code>$sudo apt-get update $sudo apt-get upgrade </code></pre> You may have some non-linux packages that are held back when you upgrade but you can use the install flag to upgrade those individually: <pre><code>$sudo apt-get install firefox </code></pre> Question So, here's my question, after all of that, I'm still running the 9.04 version of ubuntu. Is there anyway to upgrade the version while keeping my kernel version where it is? Thanks.

It acts like it wants to work, but all I get is the bar across the top with "activities", the time, my name, and the background. After that my computer will do nothing else.

I have a dark GTK theme installed in my Ubuntu 10.10 install and a persona installed for Firefox that I also like. The problem is that Firefox is using my dark GTK theme for items like buttons and text fields on common web pages, and this commonly creates unreadable menus, text areas, and buttons. (white text on white backgrounds, or black text on black buttons). I don't want to change either theme, because they look great in every other application, and I don't want to have to do something crazy to my Firefox install like use custom user scripts or CSS overrides. All I want to do is tell Firefox to stop using my GTK theme completely. This appears to be what Google's Chrome browser does and it makes the most sense by far. How can web developers possibly work around all the possible GTK themes out there?

I'm trying to setup dual monitors on a new 10.10 installation. I have an LG w2040 and a Westinghouse l2610nw. The LG works, but the Westinghouse displays an "Out of Range" notice and nothing else. If I try to change the resolution in the NVIDIA X Server settings window and hit Apply the Westinghouse monitor stays unchanged, but the LG picture gets skewed and I have to reboot. I can change the Westinghouse resolution and hit Save to X Config File and logout and log back in and the setting shows as changed without skewing the LG, but the Westinghouse is still dark. They both work fine in Windows. My video card is an Nvidia 8500GT. Things are currently set to "separate X Screen", though I haven't had much luck playing with twin view either.

I have problems changing my remotes keys. The rc has a joystick for controlling the mouse cursor. After connecting the rc to my computer everything works fine, but the shortcuts are made for Windows MCE and thus they don't fit for me. I tried to solve my problem with LIRC. This works so far as fine, but I can't use my joystick with this configuration. Now I don't have an idea how to activate this joystick again, because it worked without LIRC (rather than without irexec). Does anybody have a hint for me how to activate the joystick or change the shortcuts in another way? My RC is in <code>/dev/input/event3</code> and <code>/dev/input/mouse1</code> and respectively <code>/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:04.0-usb-0:3:1.0-event-mouse</code> and <code>/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:04.0-usb-0:3:1.0-mouse</code>.

I have a friend wanting to install Ubuntu 10.10 as a dual-boot with Windows through Wubi. Unfortunately, he has a wireless card with a Broadcom chipset, and needs to install the drivers. There is no other way for him to connect to the internet; he cannot connect via Ethernet or another Wi-Fi dongle/card. I generated a Synaptic download script for what I think are the appropriate packages, and he downloaded the <code>.deb</code>s to <code>\wifi\packages</code> from Windows. He then ran these commands: <pre> kieran@ubuntu:~$ cd /host/wifi kieran@ubuntu:/host/wifi$ sudo dpkg -i packages/*.deb [sudo] password for kieran: (Reading database ... 120178 files and directories currently installed.)

is there a clock application, <ul> <li>that can be placed on your screen like a widget </li> <li>staying always on top</li> <li>but automatically fades away on mouseover</li> <li>enabling you to click through it on items below,</li> </ul> (behaves pretty much like the Ubuntu notifications in that sense). I am aware, that there are screenlets and gdesklets widget apps, but those are buggy, look outdated, and do not comply with the criteria listed above. What I have in mind is a clock that is large, (digital), always visible (on top of all other windows), and does not disrupt your work (e.g. you can still click that scroll bar or button if it is just below the clock, since the clock fades away on hovering). A tool called "OSD-Lyrics" that show lyrics for songs and behaves exactly the way I described above. So it should be possible (and even easier) to do the same with a clock.

In Lucid, Tomboy Notes had a panel icon that, when clicked on, would show a list of the most recent notes. You could click the little pushpin icon next to a title to make it show up all the time, no matter how many notes had been added after it. Since upgrading to Maverick, the icon no longer displays the note titles, so I have no way of knowing which note I'm clicking on. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I added a bunch of drives to an external enclosure and attached it to a server via eSATA and now need to get them ready for software raid. However they do not appear under <code>fdisk -l</code> I've tried looking in <code>/dev/disk/by-path</code> and <code>/dev/disk/by-id</code>. The RAID card appears in dmesg. Plugging and unplugging the eSATA enclosure does not cause anything to "happen" when I tail <code>/var/log/syslog</code> There is a decent chance that the eSATA card I am using in the machine is faulty (I found it laying around). But before I purchase a new one I want to make sure I am not missing anything obvious.

Today I did my typical "update all" routine when the package manager GUI told me many things needed updating. It chugged along and needed some confirms. I rebooted because one of the upgrades had stripped all the chrome off my windows making them look old-school X. After the reboot I have a red triangle in my system tray telling me my package info is outdated. Odd, since I just ran a big update. Now if I go to the command prompt and run <code>apt-get update</code> I get the following: <pre><code>jal@jal:~$ sudo apt-get update [sudo] password for jal: 0% [Working]/usr/lib/apt/methods/http: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/apt/methods/http: undefined symbol: _Z14maybe_add_authR3URISs E: Method http has died unexpectedly! E: Sub-process http returned an error code (127) </code></pre> Throwing a little Google Foo around I came up with <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=561852" rel="nofollow">this bug report from Dec 2009</a> on the Debian list. It seems the proposed fix in that bug report is to downgrade to apt-0.7.23.1, apt-get update, and upgrade apt again. I usually just run into things like this without asking for help, but when the package manager is involved I get just a little cautious. I don't really want to blow my packages up or do something ugly to my system. So in short, how do I downgrade apt without screwing myself in the process?

I made a shortcut to my home folder by dragging and dropping it to the panel. Is there a way that I can drag and drop files to that applet in order to save the file in the folder location? What I really want is to make a shortcut to one of my Ubuntu One folders, that when I drag and drop a file, selected text or url to that applet, it saved the dropped 'element' in the folder for synchronization purposes. <h1>EDIT</h1> Like the trash can but with a custom selected folder.

When I'm running on battery, I prefer to use the TTYs instead of the full blown GUI as I can squeeze a lot more run time out this way. However, when I want to type in curly braces (<kbd>AltGr</kbd>-<kbd>Shift</kbd>-<kbd>è</kbd> and <kbd>AltGr</kbd>-<kbd>Shift</kbd>-<kbd>+</kbd> on my Italian keyboard) the TTY (and only that TTY) acts as if I was holding my <kbd>Alt</kbd> key. I also get this problem for any <kbd>AltGr</kbd>-<kbd>Shift</kbd> key combination -- the curly braces are just the most commonly used for me. Why is that? How can I prevent it? Here's my output for <code>stty -a</code>: <pre><code>speed 38400 baud; rows 48; columns 160; line = 0; intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>; eol2 = <undef>; swtch = <undef>; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W; lnext = ^V; flush = ^O; min = 1; time = 0; - parenb -parodd cs8 hupcl -cstopb cread -clocal -crtscts -ignbrk -brkint -ignpar -parmrk -inpck -istrip -inlcr -igncr icrnl ixon ixoff -iuclc -ixany -imaxbel -iutf8 opost -olcuc -ocrnl onlcr -onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel nl0 cr0 tab0 bs0 vt0 ff0 isig icanon -iexten echo echoe echok -echonl -noflsh -xcase -tostop -echoprt echoctl echoke </code></pre>

Is there any way to get source diffs between a locally-installed package and its updated one? This will be useful to check exactly which parts have been fixed, changed or added. For example, say you have the linux-libc-dev package installed on your system and <pre><code>sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade </code></pre> shows <pre><code>The following packages will be upgraded: linux-libc-dev </code></pre> but you want to check, before upgrading it, the exact changes that have been made compared to your local version of the same package. How can we do it?

System > Administration > Disk Utility What's the difference between "Unmount Volume" and "Safe Removal"? Say you insert a flash drive and open the Disk Utility UI, if you click on "Safe Removal" you receive an "Error Detaching Drive" notification, because it's busy. You must first click the "Unmount Volume" button, and then follow it with the "Safe Removal" button. A couple questions here: Does this mean all these times I've been "ejecting" the drive (via context menu) before removing it, I haven't been "safely" removing it? And what are the command line equivalents for the two different operations? (This question was somewhat addressed <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/5845/what-is-the-difference-between-unmount-eject-safely-remove-drive-and-the">here</a> but the answers seem to contradict what I'm pointing out about the Disk Utility options. Thanks.)

Only front right and left speaker work, and my 5.1 card, is recognized by Ubuntu 10.10, but I have no option for 5.1 in the profile combo Sound -> Hardware I have tried <code>default-sample-channels = 6</code> without success.

Also one of the jacks is supposed to be line-in.

Whenever I come back from suspend, the fan spins at full speed for about 2 minutes before it clams down. It will do this regardless of load on the cpu. And the laptop just came back from a (potentially long) suspend so it isn't hot. At all. After two minutes or so, the fan goes back to normal and then responds to load as you would expect. How can I get it to not do this? Edit: This is on an hp pavilion dv6000
