<p>Hitting return at the end of the paragraph will indent the cursor do the correct position, but this is not a good way for me to work in the long term. I use Gedit for writing LaTeX files, and I like to structure them with indentations for readability purposes, but the only way to get the paragraphs to look the way they should is to insert a few tabs at the start of each line after I've written it, which leaves large amounts of whitespace in the middle of the paragraph if I decide to go back and rewrite anything. Is there a plugin that can do this for me?</p>

At setup, and in the config menu, I have selected the threading display style to "show-thread-structure." Nonetheless, I get a normal view of email in my inbox, with individual emails displayed separately even if they belong to the same thread. </p>
<p>Does anyone know what I need to do to fix this?</p>

<ol>
<li>Create a signature that isn't associated with a specific account</li>
<li>Have the option to attach a specific signature, or no signature at all.</li>
</ol>
<p>Currently I have a work signature, a joke signature, a "Sent from Ubuntu" signature, and a couple of social network signatures. Some of these are appropriate, but I wouldn't want to attach one of my joke signatures on a work email. Sometimes all I want to do is just send the email without a signature.</p>
<p>Is there a way to do this using Evolution?</p>

<p>How can I change that and let the browser use IPv6 instead of IPv4 if available?</p>

9214 | 1 | null | 2010-10-24T15:35:53.823 | 3 | 2210 | <p>I recently tried upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 on my netbook, but something went wrong, and X session hang up. After reboot I still can log to system, but Gnome is rather broken.</p>
<p>I found that I can issue command "sudo do-release-upgrade" to continue upgrade, but it tries to do upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04, even I have "jaunty" in /etc/apt/sources.list. </p>
<p>I guess thats because some information in system has 9.10 in version, like "lsb_release -a" gives "Release: 9.10"</p>
<p>My question is:
Where I should change release information, so "sudo do-release-upgrade" can do upgrade 9.04 -> 9.10, not 9.10 -> 10.4
<hr/>
I know how to copy /home dir and reinstall system with preservation of this dir, I'm just curios if there is way to rescue sys by working with apt-get, aptitude, and dpkg. I'm sure that all changes were made only by these tools so maybe there is way to fix it. And, yes I know that 9.10 is a little bit outdated but it is still supported and I use it because of software compatibility.</p>

My microphone and webcam are plugged in and work (and Empathy's video preferences can see them), so I know it's not a hadware problem; I <em>have</em> installed libgstfarsight0.10-0 and gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad; but I still can't make pidgin do audio calls.</p>

"accepted": true,
"body": "<p>The absolute safest way to do that is to install it on a separate partition, but that's probably more work than you need.<br>\nWhat I'd recommend is to install Kubuntu. I'm not sure if that's really what you meant when you said \"KDE on top of an Ubuntu installation\", but Kubuntu is little more than KDE+Ubuntu. Just do: </p>\n\n<blockquote>\n <p>sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop <a href=\"http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/kubuntu-desktop\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\"><img src=\"https://hostmar.co/software-small\" alt=\"Install Kubuntu\"></a></p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>on any terminal window (it will install a ton of kde packages). By the end, you'll get prompted if you want to use gdm or kdm as login manager. It's OK to choose either one, but kdm will give you the full Kubuntu experience.</p>\n\n<p>Next time you boot, just before logging in, choose KDE as your session manager. It will use the same <code>$HOME</code> and the same root folder, and thus you'll still have all the same programs installed, and their respective settings will be kept. I might be wrong, but I think only the settings stored under <code>~/.gnome2/</code> won't be loaded by KDE (they <em>are</em> gnome settings after all). </p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<p>Finally, you don't really need to remove KDE after that. You can keep using gnome regularly, and never choose KDE again in the session manager. If, for some reason, you <em>do</em> want to really remove KDE (maybe you need to free up space), here's what you do:</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n <p>sudo apt-get purge kubuntu-desktop</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>kubuntu-desktop is a dummy package (you'll notice the removal process will be quick), removing this package will make apt consider all of the kde packages as unnecessary (since they were brought along by this one), so just do: </p>\n\n<blockquote>\n <p>sudo apt-get autoremove --purge</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>If you chose to keep gdm as your login manager, you can stop here. If you happened to choose kdm as your login manager back in the first step, you'll have to <strong>either</strong> reinstall gdm (it's technically already installed, so you can just reconfigure it if you know how) <code>sudo apt-get install --reinstall gdm</code> <strong>or</strong> reinstall kdm again <code>sudo apt-get install kdm</code>. </p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<p><strong>EDIT</strong> According to @AnwarShah the method above for removing Kubuntu doesn't actually work. I don't have an Ubuntu machine on which to test that right now, so I'll just provide an alternative method. </p>\n\n<p>The command provided in <a href=\"https://askubuntu.com/a/17221/1012\">this answer</a>, <em>should</em> purge all traces of kde from your system. <strong>Before</strong> running it you should read all of the packages and make sure none of them had been previously installed by you! Make sure to remove the name of any packages you want to keep. \n<em>(Also, I haven't read through all of those packages, so I can't garantee anything regarding the commands effectiveness.)</em></p>\n\n<p>Alternatively, you could keept track of all packages installed when you install <code>kubuntu-desktop</code>, and then just do <code>apt-get purge</code> on these packages. This requires the forethought of copying the list of packages back when you installed <code>kubuntu-desktop</code> (and remembering where you saved it), but it's a little safer to do.</p>\n",

<a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cases/UbuntuServer-drbd" rel="nofollow">link text2</a></p>
<p>I'm in a plan to configure Ubuntu Servers for High Availability, so i have tested DRBD working and it's fine as per the links i referred. But my major requirement is I could get other server into production if the main server gets down/corrupted. Is it possible to configure DRBD so that any changes made on primary server to <code>'/'</code> are replicated to secondary server?.</p>
<p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p>
<p>Dear Experts:</p>
<p>I have a Ubuntu server which hosts <strong>apache</strong>, <strong>tomcat</strong>, <strong>mysql</strong>, <strong>ldap</strong> and so on. I don't know how to say... like if this server gets corrupted or malfunctions I should immediately get another system with same databases applications, services, files and directories (just like a clone) into working. I wondering if there is something like primary and secondary which replicate (entire system) each other and if in case the primary server fails I can immediately come up with the secondary. </p>
<p>I'm not only talking about DRBD it might be any third party tool that meets my entire requirement. I have to do this by the time assigned to me. Somehow you try to understand what I'm in need of and put an end to this</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>I have been recommended to use <code>apt-get install</code> for installing new software and <code>apt-get update</code> for updating software for a Ubuntu Server in production use. Because these packages are tested for Ubuntu in contrast to download source code and compile the software on the box.</p>
<p>But on my Ubuntu Server 10.10, I don't get the latest stable version of PostgreSQL (9) or the latest stable version of Nginx (8) using <code>apt-get install</code>. So how is this working, will these software be updated when I later run <code>apt-get update</code> or do I have to later run <code>apt-get install</code> again, or do I have to wait for the next release of Ubuntu to get them?</p>
<p>And are patches and security updates managed in the same way? Or can they be updated automatically? If there is such a setting, how do I check what my system is using?</p>

9357 | 1 | 9407 | 2010-10-25T12:26:00.330 | 9 | 17965 | <p>I use Ubuntu Server 10.10 and I would like to set up a web server environment with <a href="http://nginx.org/" rel="noreferrer">NginX</a>, PHP 5.3.3, PostgreSQL and preferably APC and PHP Suhosin.</p>
<p>I have already set up PostgreSQL with <code>apt-get install postgresql</code> and Nginx with <code>apt-get install nginx</code>.</p>
<p>But how do I set up PHP for these? Can I do this using <code>apt-get install</code> or do I have to download the sources and compile it? I would prefer to do it using <code>apt-get</code>.</p>
<p>I would likte to use <a href="http://php-fpm.org/" rel="noreferrer">PHP-FPM</a> for Nginx. Most of the tutorials I have found on Internet are old and compile the PHP, but this is not recommended for production servers.</p>
<p>How do I easiest set up PHP with Nginx, APC and PostgreSQL? or at least PHP-FPM + Nginx?</p>
<hr />
<p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p>
<p>I have now installed a fresh Ubuntu Server 10.10 and executed the command <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/9357/how-do-i-set-up-php-with-nginx-apc-and-postgresql/9407#9407">Peter suggested</a> with <code>php5-suhosin</code> added. After that Nginx works fine, then I edit the generated confiugration file to be as below. After reloading the new config file, Nginx still works fine using a <code>index.html</code> file, but when I add a <code>index.php</code> file it stop to work. I guess that this has to do with PHP-FPM, the APC or something PHP-related. But it could be the configuration file for PHP-FPM as well.</p>
<p>Here is the configuration file for Nginx that I'm using, most of it is generated by default. I have skipped comments.</p>
<pre><code>server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80 default ipv6only=on;
server_name localhost;
access_log /var/log/nginx/localhost.access.log;
location /favicon.ico {
empty_gif;
}
location / {
root /var/www;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
}
}
</code></pre>

<p>as omg Ubuntu has confirmed that the unity interface is coming to desktop in version 11.04 because of these recent developments i have decided to change to unity (try to buffer the shock for when i am upgrading)</p>
<p>i believe by entering this into terminal my computer will change to unity'apt-get install ubuntu-netbook' would this be correct?</p>
<p>also if anybody has any proof that omg Ubuntu has their fact wrong please comment.thank you.</p>

<p>In the sequence of installing and using these tools something have gone wrong. Now, the laptop don't recognize when the power is plugged off so the screen etc. is not dimmed. It still makes a sound when power is plugged in and taken out but I suspect that this is not through Ubuntu. I have tried uninstall of the tools and, of cause, rebooting - but nothing helps. I'm not a pro with Linux so some expertise would be appreciated. Any ideas to how I can restore the settings or get it to recognize "on battery"?</p>

Remember that future Ubuntu versions will still be based on GNOME 3 - the underlying infrastructure, applications, etc will not change - they just won't use the GNOME Shell by default.</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Ubuntu would like to embrace different ideas to other parts of the GNOME family - specific examples mentioned are Mac OS X style <a href=\"http://www.webupd8.org/2010/04/ubuntu-1010-will-get-global-menu-by.html\">global menus</a>, and heavier '<a href=\"https://edge.launchpad.net/gnome-activity-journal\">Zeitgeist</a>' integration.</li>\n<li>There are concerns about hardware support with the <em>Mutter</em> technology GNOME Shell uses. Whilst Unity has up to now also used Mutter, Unity has been ported to <em>Compiz</em>, which, through its inclusion in default Ubuntu for over three years, has proved itself to have excellent hardware support.</li>\n<li>Recent Ubuntu design work, such as <a href=\"http://unity.ubuntu.com/projects/appindicators/\">Application Indicators</a> and <a href=\"http://unity.ubuntu.com/projects/notifyosd/\">NotifyOSD</a> are likely to be incompatible with GNOME Shell, and we want to keep these improvements, not move backwards!</li>\n<li>Other distributions may have different user bases and needs. Ubuntu has a lot of home users, whereas many other distributions have more commercial users in workplaces. Canonical employs a lot of professional design experts and they may feel they can do a better job than, or at least take a different approach to, the existing GNOME Shell.</li>\n</ul>\n",

<p>This is freaking me out since I need to get files off of here and I did nothing (makes me worried to run Ubuntu now after just switching from Mac). I literally just turned of the laptop after watching a YouTube video and working in Komodo and running Chrome, and when I booted up i get this when trying to boot into Ubuntu.</p>
<p>The GRUB version is 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3 and i (was) running Ubuntu 10.10.</p>
<p>Please tell me this is an easy fix? Like i said, i tried a few links already from older posts like:
<a href="http://members.iinet.net.au/~herman546/p15.html#cli" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://members.iinet.net.au/~herman546/p15.html#cli</a></p>
<p>And every command gets unknown command.</p>
<p>Here is a pic from someone elses computer. This is exactly the screen i get except the GRUB version is different. </p>
<p>Also, the screen before this has 2 lines and it looks like 2 HDD names, but i can't really make out what it says. It looks like it says "no wubilder" or something, but it flashes for like 1/4 of a second.</p>
