9450 | 1 | 9453 | 2010-10-25T18:08:56.747 | 11 | 2841 | <p>I have dragged a folder from a Nautilus window to the desktop, holding Ctrl+Shift to create a shortcut (well, a symbolic link). However, when I open it from the desktop, instead of showing <code>/home/scott/Documents/asd/folder</code> it shows <code>/home/scott/Desktop/folder</code>. But sometimes I want to go up a level or two, and can only go to <code>Desktop</code>, not <code>asd</code>.</p>
<p>I understand that's how symbolic links work, but is there a way to create a shortcut to the target folder directly?</p>

9509 | 1 | 9517 | 2010-10-26T00:52:45.170 | 1 | 1306 | <p>After a bit of investigating of a problem I've just encountered, it looks like mdadm has completely forgotten about a new device I'd added to an array. I recently added a new device to the array which went fine, but I've now rebooted (I don't think I had rebooted since making this change) and I've been greeted with all sorts of errors, and I'm fairly sure it's down to this.</p>
<p>So my question is: Should it be safe to just re-add that device back into the array? I <em>really</em> don't want to lose any data here! This is what I <em>think</em> I should do but I'd like confirmation from someone with a bit more experience first :) Bear in mind I've already done this once, and have fscked and grown the filesystem too, and have then written plenty more data to it.</p>
<pre><code>sudo umount /dev/md0
sudo mdadm --stop /dev/md0
sudo mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdd1
sudo mdadm --grow /dev/md0 --raid-devices=4
</code></pre>
<hr>
<p>A bunch of extra information and steps I've already taken: I rebooted and was greeted with a message along the lines of "Unable to read superblock" for /dev/md0, my RAID array. I immediately suspected mdadm since I had recently been fiddling with it, and <code>cat /proc/mdstat</code> reports this:</p>
<pre><code>...
md0 : inactive sdb1[0](S) sdc1[1](S)[/code]
</code></pre>
<p>Which is wrong; I had just added /dev/sdd1 to the array too. <code>sudo mount -a</code> reported <code>bad superblock on /dev/md0</code>. I can't remember the next command I used now but something else reported that I had tried to write past the end of the filesystem, which makes sense since there was more data on it than could fit onto the first two devices alone.</p>
<p><code>sudo fdisk -l</code> reports that the new device and partition are alive and well. <code>cat /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf</code> shows this:</p>
<pre><code>DEVICE /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid5 num-devices=2 UUID=*snip*
spares=1
</code></pre>
<p>Which shows clearly that it's completely forgotten about the new device I added. Was I supposed to 'save' the config after executing the commands above? I assumed they were lasting changes; I can't see any use in them being lost on restarting.</p>
<p>Edit note: I realised that the 'num-devices=2' is inclusive of the 'spares=1', which means that mdadm hasn't changed a disk from 'in use' to 'spare', it's just plain forgotten about it. I'll update the title to account for that.</p>

<li><p>using nvidia -xconfig ( it actually did nothing)</p></li>

<p>I don't know if I'm correct, but in my case, after doing some research, it proves unnecessary to install it.
What solves everything is:</p>
<p><code>
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

<p>replace:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
with:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor"</p>
<p>and then:
<code>
sudo update-grub

After some testing I found that this solution works perfectly on 10.04 but after an upgrade to 10.10 the process must be repeated again. In 10.10 everything works except the track-pad on/off and the back-light on/off. Does anyone know how to fix this? Typing is much more difficult if the track-pad is on.

9518 | 1 | 10579 | 2010-10-26T02:12:10.317 | 7 | 5513 | <p>I fresh installed Ubuntu 10.10 back when it came out, and my laptop was suspending fine. All of a sudden, I can't get my laptop to suspend anymore. It's an HP Pavilion dv2-1110, but I don't think it's a hardware issue, here's why:</p>
<ul>
<li>It suspended fine upon first install. I haven't installed any new kernels since then, but I have installed tons of packages, so it's probably a package.</li>
<li>The suspend and hibernate options disappeared from the shutdown menu. If I press my keyboard's suspend button (or if I close the lid) I get the following message:
<img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/cDzxr.png" alt="alt text" /></li>
<li>If I try the command <code>pmi action suspend</code>, I get the error message: <code>Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Hal was not provided by any .service files</code>.</li>
<li>If I try the command <code>echo -n mem > sudo /sys/power/state</code> I get absolutely no output and no visible effect.</li>
</ul>
<p>What might be causing this behavior? I thought a list of installed packages might be useful, but it's huge and I don't know how to post it here in collapse/expand mode or something.</p>
<p>EDIT:Just in case someone asks, none of the installed packages are kdm or anything like that (which would justify the lack of options in gnome's shutdown menu).</p>

Now, i want to get rid of the top panel too, and for that I need to add the menu bar to Docky. I tried creating a new menu bar and dragging it, but it doesn't seem to add widgets, only shortcuts. How do I add other widgets, like network-manager, Dropbox, etc?</p>
<p>Is there a solution? Thanks.</p>
<p>EDIT: A weird side effect is that Rhytmbox, Yammer, don't minimize in the notification area.</p>

9534 | 1 | 9550 | 2010-10-26T06:54:52.530 | 7 | 1000 | <p>This upcoming Ubuntu move to <code>Unity</code> as its Desktop Manager, got me wondering where the modular line lies between a <strong>Desktop Manager</strong> and <strong>X</strong>. </p>
<p>My understanding is that <strong>X</strong> is a window manager, and <em>window</em> = <em>GUI</em>. </p>
<p>Is the <strong>Desktop</strong> actually needed at all, to run GUI apps?<br>
eg. Can <strong>X</strong> exist without a Desktop Manager, and can GUI apps be launched from the terminal running in <strong>X</strong> (which may have to be auto-started with <strong>X</strong>)... </p>
<p>I can launch a GUI app from the terminal now (Gnome desktop), but I don't know if that is based on a dependancy to the Desktop.</p>
<p>I may be completely on the wrong track here... but that's what questions are for ;) </p>

9560 | 1 | 10604 | 2010-10-26T09:44:01.650 | 14 | 9955 | <p>How do I configure <strong>Wake-On-USB</strong> properly on a 10.04 or 10.10 Ubuntu (2.6.36 and higher if needed)?
(Wake-on-USB is when the computer is asleep and for example a USB Keyboard event wakes up the machine!)
The notebook is an <strong>Acer Aspire Timeline X 1830T</strong>. I don't know in which way the Linux Kernel supports the controllers.</p>
<p>There are different ways to approach this, for example /proc/acpi/wakeup... or UDEV... or something with HAL?</p>
<p><code>/proc/acpi/wakeup</code> shows every device in S4, but I need S3.</p>

<ul>
<li>S4, which is Suspend-To-Disk afaik... doesn't seem to work either if I echo USB1 into the wakeup table. It just sets an S4 flag.</li>
<li>can I get the USB ports in S3?</li>
</ul>
<p>I want to make the machine wakeup from Suspend-To-Ram (S3, <code>ACPI standard</code>) in case a <strong>key on my external keyboard</strong> is pressed. It only wakes up if a key on the internal Laptop keyboard is pressed... from Suspend To Ram. It seems if I plug in a USB mouse, that the USB port isn't even powered. I have no BIOS option to change this.</p>

<p>If this doesn't work I have to properly explain why :( - but I think it is very hard to research this kernel internal. Any hints for good information here? I hope it's possible... I'm just looking for any solution.</p>

It's supposed to do what it says on the tin, lock the version... But it only locks it within Synaptic. Anything else that does package upgrades (read: Update Manager, apt-get, aptitude, etc) ignores this. This is probably buggy behaviour so I would expect this to be fixed in time.</p>\n\n<p>But to stop things getting upgraded, you want to \"hold\" it. To do that, load up aptitude, find the package (<code>/</code> is the quick-key for searching, <code>n</code> finds the next instance) and press <code>h</code> on it to hold it. This is respected a lot more than Synaptic's \"lock\" feature.</p>\n\n<p>Edit: Another way of doing this via the command line is by running this:</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo -i\necho <package-name> hold | dpkg --set-selections\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>But as I started with, I don't think you need to do this in your circumstances. Provided you're using a package version that is clearly newer than the current stable releases (and isn't just a random build number - you can see in Synaptic) you'll be fine.</p>\n",

<p>When I click on it and search for some file, on the title bar it says "Tracker Search Tool"</p>

9663 | 1 | 9924 | 2010-10-26T18:43:09.050 | 5 | 3068 | <p>It really puzzles me that any Google search counts far more "results" in Firefox or Chrome than in Chromium. Google says "About 1.460.000 results" for "natty narwhal" in Firefox or Chrome but only 914.000 results in Chromium. Does anybody know why that is so? Which results are better?</p>
<p>To add some information: I was observing this for over a month on 4 different machines in 2 different networks using very different internet gateways. Searches are performed more or less simultaneously thus the local IP and the network routes were similar.</p>
<p>Just to point this out again: the browser in question is <strong>Chromium</strong> (not Chrome).</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> According to <a href="https://askubuntu.com/users/1012/bruce-connor">Bruce Connor</a>'s comments it may be that cookies, the state of being logged in or not, or other information influence search results. And, it's true when performing a search in "incognito" mode of Chromium as <a href="https://askubuntu.com/users/3760/jhominal">jhominal</a> suggested far more results are displayed. </p>
<p>To hopefully get a more precise answer: What might that be from my cookies or "secret Google user profile" that makes about half a million results from the search irrelevant, to the opinion of google?</p>

After removing Kubuntu-desktop the bootscreen still is the kubuntu one and not changed back by the uninstall process to the origin ubuntu one. I also noticed that in my standart Gnome Ubuntu Desktop some Fonts and Font-Sizes changed especially in Applications that use KDE librarie like Krusader and on the Menus in Gnome Panel and some other Applications. How can i revert these changes to the state before Kubuntu-desktop was installed?</p>

I select install, continue with the process and when I see the "configuring apt sources" progress bar then I got the error:
"kernel panic not syncing out of memory and no killable process"
Does anyone know this problem??, do you think it could be because the size of the RAM??</p>
<p>Ive seen in the <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/preparing-to-install.html" rel="nofollow">Ubuntu Server Help</a> that I only need 128 MB RAM to install it. So I dont think its the problem.</p>

9687 | 1 | null | 2010-10-26T20:03:19.327 | 4 | 945 | <p>I love <strong>GNOME Screensaver</strong> application and all the themes that can use be used with it -the defaults and additionals from the repositories. So I would like to prefer the "Random" theme selection. </p>
<p><strong>The problem</strong>: there's a choice as <strong>Images Directory</strong> among themes. When I opt for <strong>Random</strong>, screensaver shows the content of my Images directory as well. No need to give details, but this is not suitable for more than one reason. Shortly, that directory is very private for me and screensaver, by nature, is to be wieved by everybody when we lock the screen and leave the computer.</p>
<p>Once upon a time there were a number of discussions on the issue, but the developers' approach was something like this: "<em>This is not a bug, this is a feature</em>". Technically it may not be considered as a bug, but still it is a personal security issue for me.</p>
<p>A workaround may be not to use the default Images directory for images -or putting just a few screensaver-safe image in it- and to use another directory for the personal images, instead. I don't like this way because desktop integration of GNOME & Ubuntu makes that directory -which comes as <strong>default</strong>- functional for some image related task.</p>
<p>So the question: How can I choose <strong>Random</strong> option for the GNOME Screensaver and yet not include the Image directory to the line?</p>

So step one is to turn on/off the 2nd monitor using command line.</p>

<p>I am not referring to a single entry in the /etc/apt/sources.list.<br>
The URL I am referring to points to a full-and-complete repository (security updates main restricted universe mutliverse). </p>

<p>Is the Software Sources server-list dynamically downloaded from Canonical, and/or is it somewhere on my file-system? ... and would it work if I just add my URL to this list, and then choose it via the normal Software Sourced dialog? </p>
<p>There doesn't seem to be an "Add" option in the "Ubuntu Software" tab of Software Sorces. I can only find the "Other" option, which allows me to choose an alread listed server. </p>
<p>*<strong><em>UPDATE</em>*</strong><br>
I've just found a tool called <code>apt-mirror</code> which allows the building of a local mirror, so I assume that there must be a way to use this new mirror, and that it grafts into the normal apt-get/aptitude/Synaptic system.. My "new" mirror is my ISP's not-fully-public Linux mirror, and I assume it can be grafted in, too.. Am I on the right train with this line of thought? </p>

9733 | 1 | 9740 | 2010-10-27T04:11:37.877 | 15 | 6640 | <p>I am using System Monitor 2.28.0. When I look in the Resources tab, I see a nice graph with for memory and swap. Memory is about 60% 2.3 GiB of 3.8. When I type the command free, I got :</p>
<pre><code> total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 3994908 3962396 32512 0 100852 1477032
-/+ buffers/cache: 2384512 1610396

</code></pre>
<p>cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemFree give</p>
<pre><code>MemFree: 34536 kB
</code></pre>
<p>The situation has remained the save for several minute. I started a lot of process with a script and the script is waiting for the free memory to get lower. According to what I am seeing in the Process tab (or with top), the number in System Monitor seem a lot closed to the total of the memory of the process that the one reported by free. </p>

<p>I would like everything (text, codes, commands,...) to be printed in the same (black) color.</p>
<p>i've tried fuddling with the printer's properties, but the closest thing i see is the 'level of grey' tab, and there i have the choice between 'enhanced' and 'normal' (and it doesn't make a difference in my case).
i've tried 'print to file', but i don't see any options there to print to b&w,
I've tried installing the 'generic cups printer', but again no options to print to b&w.</p>
<p>any idea ?</p>

The reason i'm asking is because there is not such a tab on that one (it's a network greyscale printer). As for the two solutions you propose; it so happens that this pdf can't be opened by oo (it causes the pdf-extention to crash). Also, it's really a strange way to simply print in b&w. Surely there must be something simpler. It's okay if you find a way to print in b&w to a pdf file (directly or via CUPS)",

<p>"I think you will have to move gosmore directory to a home directory and give the webserver read and execute rights. On my Ubuntu installation this is the /home/lambertus/gosmore and my webpages run in /home/lambertus/public_html/yours."</p>
<p>I did move the needed files to my home directory, and CHMOD it using this command:</p>
<p><code>chmod -R 755 gosmore/</code></p>
<p>The thing is, when I "ls -l" for the gosmore directory, it displays that I had had already set the permission correctly (drwxr-xr-x...). But when I check Permissions in the gosmore directory (right-click > Properties), the permissions are still not set. Because of these, my gosmore installation doesn't still work. What can I do to truly set the permissions that I need for the directories? Thanks in advance! :D</p>

"body": "<p>I wouldn't say they're explicitly Ubuntu One related.</p>\n\n<p>CouchDB is a database. It's a fairly light, fairly fast way of storing simple data. Applications can use it to store their data. One advantage over things like SQLite (that is faster than CouchDB) is it is much easier to dump a load of records to JSON and import them at another end without conflict. You can do this with relational databases but it usually means layering on some transaction-logging logic which can still cause problems in asynchronous settings. This means it can easily be used in version control systems like Ubuntu One a lot more efficiently.</p>\n\n<p>I think we're getting away from the real point somewhat. The clue that something isn't right should be the presence of <code>ubuntu-desktop</code> in that lot. It's just a metapackage but it holds the dependencies for most of the Ubuntu desktop system. If you remove it, and then something does an auto-remove, you'll probably lose most of your desktop.</p>\n\n<p>There's also a conflict with <code>xulrunner-1.9.1</code> which is a core dependency of Firefox.</p>\n\n<p>In short, <code>libmozjs-dev</code> isn't compatible with whatever you're trying to install it on. I note that <code>libmozjs-dev</code> has been dropped from the past two releases so if you're trying to force it into Lucid or Maverick (10.04/10.10) I would stop now and look for another way of installing it (namely downloading it from Mozilla and compiling it yourself).</p>\n",

What I mean is if I set it from the default of 80 to 160 or 220, the speed does not change it's always just default full speed. However it worked fine on 10.04. Any idea what would be causing this? Perhaps something is overriding it? To clarify that's Compiz > Effects > Animations. I am using the Sidekick animation.</p>

I've given up on trying to get the existing DW1390 card up and running, and I'm ready to buy a new card -- as long as it will work with Meerkat RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX, without any intervention on my part. If I have to do ANYTHING other than reinstall Meerkat to bring up this laptop on a wireless connection then I'm not interested.</p>
<p>And yes, I've tried every damned one of the thousands of "fixes" and hacks for the BCM4311 on the interwebs, and none of them work. At all. So if there's a pin-compatible (non-PCMCIA slot) replacement for the DW1390 that will work with Ubuntu I'm ready to lay out some cash.</p>

<p>E.g.</p>
<ol>
<li>java based programs</li>
<li>executable scripts</li>
</ol>
<p>In two variants:</p>
<ul>
<li>for all users</li>
<li>for one user</li>
</ul>
<p>Some times the archive itself contains directories like <code>lib</code> or <code>bin</code>.</p>
<p>For example, apps like <a href="http://argouml.tigris.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ArgoUML</a></p>
<p>Shall I put all the apps in <code>/usr/local/appname</code>?</p>

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is
3d:1b:02:9e:b2:b8:f0:f7:c6:4f:94:96:f6:e3:c0:d1.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /root/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending key in /root/.ssh/known_hosts:8
RSA host key for 10.10.10.69 has changed and you have requested strict checking.Host key verification failed.
