<p>If they switched to DVD size (4,7 GB) we could</p>
<ul>
<li>Include more apps, not only more but also better. They claim that they don't include VLC because it doesn't fit so instead they include Totem which is a much worse player.</li>
<li>Live CD and Instalation would be faster, since they wouldn't need compression at all, or maybe a much lower compression rate.</li>
</ul>
<p>And for those who only have a CD player, offer a ripped version (like Alternate CD).</p>

10168 | 1 | 10169 | 2010-10-29T02:16:23.450 | 9 | 4140 | <p>Is there a way of switching tabs in Chrome or Firefox by scrolling the mouse-wheel while keeping the right mouse-button pressed?</p>
<p>In Chrome or Firefox (with tab-wheel-scroll extension) you can switch tabs by scrolling the wheel while hovering the pointer over the tab-bar.</p>
<p>The Opera function is much more comfortable, since you don't have to aim at the tab-bar in order to switch.</p>
<p>I have already tried assigning tab-switching keyboard shortcuts to the mouse-button in combination with the mouse-wheel, but it did not work at all. It seems to me that mouse-events cannot be combined in xbindkeys. Furthermore, assigning anything to the right mouse-button in xbindkeys disabled the standard functions of the button completely.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance, bye

10175 | 1 | 10176 | 2010-10-29T03:21:07.673 | 2 | 1371 | <p>In the past I have had three important applications having problems with compiz and the proprietary Nvidia graphics driver, they are; Googleearth, The Secondlife client and Blender, compiz and the old shell have come a long way and the performance of these applications when Compiz compositing is turned on is now largely acceptable.</p>
<p>Given that you have decided to use Compiz with Unity instead of Mutter, Will you be testing these or any other important 3d applications with Unity using Compiz and Unity Using Mutter to see which gives the best performance? Tests like these could help to make your case. so far I have only heard of the better hardware compatibility of Compiz and suspect that it will be a better compositing system for Unity.</p>
<p>How the above two configurations compare with the latest Compiz on the old shell and A test of Gnome Shell using its Mutter compositing running these applications would also be useful for comparison. Maybe someone at Phoronix could help in this regard if scientific presentation is desired but a honest personal experience being reported from such tests would be immensely useful I think.</p>
<p>I know it is early days and I do not know the status of Unity with Compiz I surely hope we will not have to go back to the old days when it was a must to turn off compositing to get work done when using certain applications,especially since the Unity shell will be more dependent on compositing than the old shell, in other words what if we have to turn off compositing to use say, Blender,what will happen? </p>
<p>Here is hoping that we will not have to wait another long time to get Unity/Compiz working well with applications that need 3d rendering.</p>

I just upgraded form 10.04, where the country code (USA/IL) was displayed, overlaid on the flag.</p>

<p>I tagged this as emulation because, being that this is a Ubuntu forum, I am looking for a solution based in the OS as Android doesn't seem to be helping me out.

10252 | 1 | 10256 | 2010-10-29T12:46:19.287 | 5 | 11415 | <p>I have a lot of plain text files which come from a Windows environment.<br>
Many of them use a whacky default Windows code-page, which is neither ASCII (7 bits) nor UTF-8. </p>
<p><strong>gvim</strong> has no problem opening these files, but <strong>gedit</strong> fails to do so.<br>
<strong>gvim</strong> reports the encoding as <strong>latin1</strong>. </p>
<p>I assume that <strong>gvim</strong> is making a "smart" assumption about the code-page.<br>
(I believe this code-page still has international <strong>variants</strong>). </p>
<p>Some questions arise from this: </p>
<ul>
<li><p>(1). Is there some way the <strong>gedit</strong> can be told to recoginze this code-page?<br>
** <strong>NB.</strong> [Update] For this point (1), see <strong>my</strong> answer, below.<br>
** For points (2) and (3). see Oli's answer. </p></li>
<li><p>(2). Is there a way to scan the file system to identify these problem files? </p></li>
<li><p>(3). Is there a batch converting tool to convert these files to UTF-8? </p></li>
</ul>
<p>(.. this old-world text mayhem was actually the final straw which brought me over to Ubuntu... UTF-8 system-wide by default <strong><em>Brilliant</em></strong>)</p>
<p><strong>[UPDATE]</strong><br>
** <strong>NB:</strong> ** <em>I now consider the following Update to be partially irrelevent, because the "problem" files aren't the "problem" (see <strong>my</strong> answer below).<br>
I've left it here, because is may be of some general use to someone.</em> </p>
<hr>
<p>I've worked out a rough and ready way to identify the problem files...<br>
The <code>file</code> command was not suitable, because it identified my example file as ASCII... but an ASCII file is 100% UTF-8 compliant... </p>
<p>As I mentioned in a comment below, the test for an invalid <strong>first</strong> byte of a UTF-8 codepoint is: </p>
<ul>
<li><em>if the first byte (of a UTF-8 codepoint) is between 0x80 and 0xBF (reserved for additional bytes), or greater than 0xF7 ("overlong form"), that is considered an error</em> </li>
</ul>
<p>I know <code>sed</code> (a bit, via a Win32 port), so I've managed to cobble together a RegEx pattern which finds these <strong>offending</strong> bytes. </p>
<p>It's an ugly line, so look away now if <strong>regular expressions</strong> scare you :) </p>
<p>I'd really appreciate it if someone points out how to use <strong>hex</strong> values in a <strong>range []</strong> expression.. I've just used the <strong>or</strong> operator <strong>\|</strong> </p>
<pre><code>fqfn="/my/fully/qualified/filename"
sed -n "/\x80\|\x81\|\x82\|\x83\|\x84\|\x85\|\x86\|\x87\|\x88\|\x89\|\x8A\|\x8B\|\x8C\|\x8D\|\x8E\|\x8F\|\x90\|\x91\|\x92\|\x93\|\x94\|\x95\|\x96\|\x97\|\x98\|\x99\|\x9A\|\x9B\|\x9C\|\x9D\|\x9E\|\x9F\|\xA0\|\xA1\|\xA2\|\xA3\|\xA4\|\xA5\|\xA6\|\xA7\|\xA8\|\xA9\|\xAA\|\xAB\|\xAC\|\xAD\|\xAE\|\xAF\|\xB0\|\xB1\|\xB2\|\xB3\|\xB4\|\xB5\|\xB6\|\xB7\|\xB8\|\xB9\|\xBA\|\xBB\|\xBC\|\xBD\|\xBE\|\xBF\|\xF8\|\xF9\|\xFA\|\xFB\|\xFC\|\xFD\|\xFE\|\xFF/p" "${fqfn}"
</code></pre>
<p>So, I'll now graft this into <strong>Oli's</strong> batch solution... Thanks Oli! </p>
<p>PS. Here is the invalid UTF-8 byte it found in my sample file ...<br>
<strong>"H.Bork, Gøte-borg."</strong> ... the <strong>"ø"</strong> = <strong>F8 hex</strong>... which is an invalid UTF-8 character.</p>

Unfortunately, when I launch it I see the icons down the left-hand side but the rest of the unity interface if obscured by any other windows I have open.</p>
<p>For example, when I click the Applications icon in unity if I have another window open it doesn't seem to do anything until I minimize the active window revealing the application list in the background. It's the same for the menu that appear when I right-click on on icon.</p>

<p>I installed the 10.10 CD and put it on a flash drive after reading online that startup disk creator breaks with maverick. When I booted from flash, it would get completely stuck (no cursor, no blinking line at the top, just nothing!). So I went back to my Lucid install and ran <code>update-manager -d</code>. When the upgrade was done, I rebooted and was faced with the same problem again. </p>
<p>I had to manually edit the <code>grub.cfg</code> file to set the old Lucid kernel as default. I was faced with a new problem: VirtualBox couldn't find the kernel files because upgrading the kernel deleted some files that were required.</p>
<p>What I need to know is if there is a way to upgrade from Lucid to Maverick without the new kernel (I still don't understand why it broke, but oh well!)</p>

10329 | 1 | 10337 | 2010-10-29T20:31:13.080 | 3 | 1651 | <p>I have been managing a Ubuntu Server 8.04 for quite some time now. On top of it I am running a VMWare Server Edition, which needs to recompile it's modules whenever a new kernel is installed. For that I'm executing: <code>sudo vmware-config.pl</code></p>
<p>Until now, whenever a new version of the kernel was available I installed it, rebooted the system and rebuild the modules. But now I realized - rather by accident -, that rebuilding those kernel modules even worked without rebooting the system. VMWare is even able to startup again after that. That made me curious. I entered <code>uname -r</code> to see the kernel version, which showed me exactly the version I installed right before <strong>without</strong> rebooting the system. </p>
<p>The <a href="http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/en/man1/uname.1.html" rel="nofollow">Manpages</a> for uname are not exactly detailed on what is actually printed, but so far I thought it printed the actually running kernel version.</p>
<p>My question now is: Is it really possible the kernel reloads itself without rebooting? I did <strong>not</strong> install ksplice or a similar tool. From what I get it is now even in the repositories for Ubuntu Server 8.04. What's going on with my system? Do I have to reboot after the kernel update or not? What does uname -r print? Is the Ubuntu Server Edition shipped with a program similar to ksplice? I never read anything about a feature like that!</p>
<p>I checked what kees told me to do:</p>
<pre><code>uname -r
2.6.24-28-server
</code></pre>
<p>The file in proc gave:</p>
<pre><code>cat /proc/version_signature
Ubuntu 2.6.24-28.75-server
</code></pre>
<p>And dpkg:</p>
<pre><code>dpkg -l 'linux-image*' | grep ^.i
ii linux-image-2.6.24-28-server 2.6.24-28.80
</code></pre>
<p>Obviously I should do a reboot then :)
Thanks for the detailed information!</p>

10356 | 1 | 10359 | 2010-10-30T00:19:49.770 | 5 | 2553 | <p>Just got a new netbook running Ubuntu. When I turn it on it auto-logs-in to the desktop automatically, but when I try to connect to the wireless network it wants my Keyring password to store the password. Problem is it isn't in the documentation (yes, I read the documentation.)</p>
<p>I see a lot of people asking about "Enter password to unlock your login keyring" and the cause usually centers around either they forgot the password, or the keyring password is different than the login password. So the advice is either how to change the keyring password to match the login, or deleting the keyring and creating a new one with a password they remember.</p>
<p>While I could delete and recreate the keyring, I still wouldn't know the login password. Without the login password I cannot run <code>sudo</code> either. I tried <em>blank</em> for the keyring password and that didn't work either.</p>
<p>Also, I know that the root password is blank, and the account is disabled. So I am not asking about that.</p>
<p><strong>Question comes down to this:</strong> Is there a way to discover the password for the account that was auto-logged in? If not can I change it? I'm up for reinstalling if I have to, but would rather not. Besides, it is a netbook and does not have a optical drive.</p>

<li>Should a virus scanner package be installed on my system? If so, which would be a better option?</li>

If I work the cursor keys I can hear the system bell when it gets to the end of the user list. I can also successfully login, going from memory, but screen stays black. Sometimes closing and re-opening the lid will light up the screen again. Pressing the special Function key to enable/disable external monitor connection has no effect [Fn]-[F5],[Fn]-[F6]. If none of the previous work I need to put the computer into hibernation or full power off to restore screen function.</p>
<p>If I watch closely when switching users I think I can see the screen initially start to light up and then quickly fade to black.</p>
<p>The computer is an <a href="http://support.acer.com/acerpanam/notebook/0000/Acer/Aspire3500/Aspire3500sp2.shtml" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Acer Aspire 3500</a>, model ZL6, running Ubuntu 10.10 installed 2 days ago. No proprietary drivers are in use. I'll provide a list of hardware details as soon as I can figure out how to generate that (didn't there used to be an entry for hardware details under the <em>System</em> menu?).</p>
<p>Possibly related questions:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/7805/no-resume-after-hibernate-or-standby">No resume after Hibernate or Standby</a></li>
<li><a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/4194/when-i-resume-from-suspension-the-screen-is-blank">When I resume from suspension - the screen is blank</a></li>
<li><a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/2830/switch-user-fails-to-complete-successfully">Switch user fails to complete successfully</a></li>
</ul>
<p>For what it's worth, blank after resume also used to happen occasionally when the laptop was running XP-Home, but nowhere near as often, perhaps 6 or 8 times a year.</p>
<p>UPDATE: I found <em>System > Administration > System Testing</em> and ran the <em>Monitor</em> test. It went very very dark, but the window elements could be discerned, and the whole screen flashed (from very very dark to black). On the third repeat of that same test the screen went to full blaupck and stayed there. Moving the mouse, via touchpad, or touch keys did not wake it up again. I had to close the lid and put the computer into hibernate, and press the power button to restore it.</p>
<p>UPDATE2: output of lshw: <a href="http://pastebin.com/q7n8676r" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://pastebin.com/q7n8676r</a>, lspci: <a href="http://pastebin.com/6ujzVK4r" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://pastebin.com/6ujzVK4r</a></p>
<p>UPDATE3: sometimes I can restore the screen by flipping to console 1 with <code>ctrl-alt-F1</code> and then back to graphical with <code>ctrl-alt-F7</code>.</p>

10419 | 1 | 10425 | 2010-10-30T11:06:30.443 | 3 | 689 | <p>I got a new laptop with Windows 7. I resized the windows partition and installed Ubuntu 10.10 in the free space using manual partition, with several partitions for <code>/boot</code>, <code>/</code>, <code>/home</code>, swap, and another to be formated as NTFS to share files with the Windows 7 boot.</p>
<p>All worked perfectly on the Ubuntu side, but the disk management of Windows 7 sees all partitions as Primary and doesn't let me format the one I set aside for NTFS. I always thought that there could only be 4 primary partitions, so seeing 9 primary partions was unexpected. With all my previous computers this worked fine and I could use both systems to access the common data partition.</p>
<p>Windows 7 Disk Management:
<img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/nfCYd.png" alt="alt text"></p>
<p>How can I format this partition to NTFS?</p>

<p>The partition 10 that I wanted to be NTFS appeared as of Linux type, even when in the installer i didn't select that. I tried changing that to NTFS with the Disk Utility and it stalled changing it. Installed GParted but every time I run it, it crashes with </p>

<p>Now Windows 7 shows this partition and only this partition as being inside an extended partition. Is there a way to validate my partition table as correct?</p>

Most of them (e.g. Music, Videos) were there because they were intended to house a specific type of file. Desktop, however, was there because it was <em>special</em> in that its contents would be shown on the user's desktop.</p>
<p>This doesn't seem to be the case anymore, since Unity's desktop only shows the wallpaper. How is this going to be handled? Will the desktop folder be assigned a different purpose? Will it just be removed from default installs? Will its contents still have a special place? Also, can we expect Unity's desktop to show anything else besides the wallpaper in the future?</p>

10443 | 1 | 11083 | 2010-10-30T15:07:23.110 | 3 | 408 | <p>I am trying to rip a CD with Sound Juicer over X11 forwarding (CD is in the desktop across the room, I'm SSHing in from my laptop), but Sound Juicer cannot find my CD drive. It works correctly when I am logged in directly to the machine in a GNOME session. My user is in the <code>cdrom</code> group.</p>
<p>I suspect that some combination of udisks, PolicyKit, and ConsoleKit is to blame — that it is configured to allow users with active console sessions to enumerate and/or access drives, but not other users.</p>
<p>How can I configure my system to allow me to access this? I cannot seem to locate any PolicyKit or ConsoleKit configuration programs like I seem to remember Fedora having when they rolled out PolicyKit?</p>
<p>The other option I see, which I find to be unlikely, is that Sound Juicer requires some GNOME session services to be running in order to locate the drive.</p>
<p><strong>Update</strong>: Based on the accepted answer, it does require GNOME session services, namely a D-Bus session bus by which it can run gvfs. If sound-juicer fails, running <code>dbus-launch sound-juicer</code> works. Alternatively, <code>dbus-launch</code> can be hooked in to your login scripts to run at SSH login.</p>

<p>I have GRUB2 (grup-install -v says: 'GNU GRUB 0.97') installed.</p>
<p>I tried this:</p>
<pre><code>sudo make install
</code></pre>
<p>And got:</p>
<pre><code>luky@ubuntu1004:/usr/src/linux-2.6.32.25$ sudo make install
sh /usr/src/linux-2.6.32.25/arch/x86/boot/install.sh 2.6.32.25 arch/x86/boot/bzImage \
System.map "/boot"
</code></pre>
<p>Here's my /boot folder:</p>
<pre><code>luky@ubuntu1004:/boot$ ls
abi-2.6.32-24-generic System.map-2.6.32-24-generic
config-2.6.32-24-generic System.map-2.6.32.25

<p>So the CPU Fan is running continously. How can I fix that?</p>

recently widget on the top of my screen says 800Mhz but I know it is 1.733Ghz behind. I feel it because temp. passes 80 celcius (176 Fahrenheit).</p>
<p>Temp. is another problem, but I want to issue that command!</p>
<blockquote>
<p>nerkn@nerkn-laptop:/var/www/onyuz$ sudo echo -n powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor</p>

<p>but it throws</p>
<blockquote>
<p>bash: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor: Permission denied</p>

<p>I cant cry to say I'm super! Super user, no permission I know! Can any body suggest any thing?</p>
