<p>I understand why Nautilus sorts the <strong>Name</strong>-column (ascending) so that "6 cats" occuring <strong>before</strong> "10 dogs"... Its collation sequence is treating a group of numeric-digits as a single number-<strong>value</strong> and not as individual characters. </p>
<p>That's fine... I can see some value in it, but personally I find it to be confusing, </p>
<p>And I have no idea why Nautilus completely ignores many leading <strong>non</strong>-alpha-numeric characters.. ie.!@$%^_:"- etc. as typed via as standard US keyboard..<br>
By "ignore", I mean "---two camels" sorts to be immediately above "two camels", as if the "---" didn't exist... (strange !?). </p>
<p>How can I change the default collating sequence?... </p>
<p><code>gconf-editor /apps/nautilus/list_view</code> shows some sort options, but does not offer a choice of <strong>collation</strong> option....<br>
I hope there is an way to do this (otherwise <em>Windows Explorer</em> is one-up on this issue :( Windows allows you to <strong>choose</strong> the <strong>conventional</strong> collation sequence (via the registry)</p>

10905 | 1 | null | 2010-11-02T05:19:13.507 | 9 | 1777 | <p><em>Note: For some more details, some of which may not be true given what I've figured out, see <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/8400/why-is-flash-performing-so-badly-in-10-10-64-bit-compared-to-10-04-64-bit">this post</a>.</em></p>
<p>When I first boot my computer, video performance (both native H.264 HTML5 in YouTube and Vimeo, and in Flash) in Chrome is perfectly reasonable. CPU usage stays slow, everything works correctly, and the video is silky-smooth.</p>
<p>But for whatever reason, if I suspend my computer then wake it up, video performance plummets. Full screen HTML5 video is choppy at best, and full-screen Flash video basically brings my computer to its knees (I'm talking less than a frame a second, and a 5 second lead time to leave full-screen after hitting Esc). Restarting Chrome doesn't fix this — I need to completely restart my machine before performance goes back to normal. Video performance in other applications, such as Movie Player, doesn't seem to be affected at all by the suspend cycle — it's only Chrome.</p>
<p>I'm using a Lenovo X201, with an Intel GMA HD graphics chipset, and Intel compnents all around (I don't need any proprietary drivers). This didn't happen in 10.04, and I haven't anything that I think would have caused this to happen. It's possible that a Chrome release could have caused this, but it seems less likely than a regression between 10.04 and 10.10.</p>
<p>Any ideas?</p>
<p><em>EDIT: In response Georg's comment, logging in and out doesn't fix it. Restarting Compiz or switching to Metacity (at least by using "compiz/metacity --replace & disown" — am I doing it right?) doesn't help (actually, it seemed to help somewhat with Flash once, but I haven't been able to reproduce this). I'm not sure about GDM — when I use "sudo restart gdm" I get kicked back to the Linux shell (?), which I have no idea how to get out of.</em></p>
<p><em>Also, I want to make very clear that this isn't just a case of Flash sucking (it does,but that's beside the point). I"m seeing the same general problem with HTML5 videos, and Flash is performing better on my Nexus One than it does on my Core i5 laptop. There's something screwy going on with Chrome and/or 10.10.</em></p>

10937 | 1 | 11157 | 2010-11-02T09:54:49.843 | 14 | 4712 | <p>It was announced in another question that the desktop version of Unity will keep the global menu by default. Here are the facts:</p>
<ol>
<li>The global menu was introduced into UNE to save vertical screen space because at Netbook resolutions the vertical space is limited.</li>
<li>On a modern desktop with a high resolution, there is ample vertical space making this unnecessary </li>
<li>On the announcement of UNE global menus, <a href="http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/359">Mark Shuttleworth</a> himself said the following:</li>
</ol>
<p>"There are outstanding questions about the usability of a panel-hosted menu on much larger screens, where the window and the menu could be very far apart."</p>
<p>The benefits of a global menu don't seem to carry across to a high-resolution desktop and instead seem to bring draw backs (increased mouse travel, large distance between the menu and its associated window).</p>
<p>The other worrying factor is that applications seem to be moving away from having a menu bar, and instead of innovating on this and defining new guidelines for moving away from the menu, we are giving it prime place right at the top of the desktop. If applications continue moving away from the desktop we will have an inconsistent experience concerning where to locate application related options/tools depending on which app you are using (e.g. Chrome).</p>
<p>Finally, the current global menu bar implementation doesn't work for all apps, and doesn't even work for all apps in the default install. This means that the default desktop implementation will be inconsistent.</p>
<p>So, there are a bunch of reasons why moving to a global menu is a bad idea, so we need some pretty convincing arguments for why it is a good idea.</p>
<p>What are the reasons for the global menu implementation in the desktop version of Unity?</p>

Is it possible to get the old settings back? (The new default hurts my eyes, and have a strong negative impact on my productivity.)</p>
<p>In System / Preferences / Appearance / Fonts, I have all fonts set to Arial. I have Arial installed on both my Hardy and Lucid machines. Smoothing is set to Grayscale, Hinting is set to Full, Subpixel Order is set to RGB.</p>
<p>A visual illustration of <code><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px">Peter, <b>Peter</b>,</span></code>:</p>

<li><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/LTgAY.png" alt="lucid_subpixel_bad">: lucid_subpixel_bad</li>
</ul>
<p>Hardy renders the HTML fragment above as hardy_gray_good above, and I'd like to get the same on Lucid -- but Lucid can only render it as lucid_gray_bad or lucid_subpixel_bad (depending on my font rendering settings in System / Preferences / Appearance / Fonts / Details / Smoothing. How do I get hardy_gray_good on Lucid?</p>

<p>I'm not asking which font I should use. In this question I'm interested in fixing the rendering for all fonts, with the existing renderings (lucid_gray_bad and lucid_subpixel_bad) and the desired rendering (hardy_gray_good) illustrated for Arial at 13px.</p>
<p>I'm not asking which of the 3 variants above are more readable -- for me, hardy_gray_good is much more readable than the 2 others, and I'd like to have it on my Ubuntu Lucid system.</p>

At the store where I actually bought my portable (in Dec. 2006), I tested that the display was actually working on the internal monitor, at the full resolution, as advertised on the spec sheet, that the wireless adapter was found, and that I could use the card reader, with a card I brought in.

Also, in 2010, you should expect every sales rep on the floor to be at least know about Linux. Usually, they should understand that starting it from a CD, especially if this is a branded one, not burned at home, there is no harm that will be done on the machine. </p>\n\n<p>NOTE: The fact that some components are not discovered right at boot from a live CD does not mean that Ubuntu will not support it. Chances are that you will find the proper driver for it. You will just have some manual setup to do. </p>\n\n<p>You may also want to note the brand names and models from a store and check on the net, with Google. You should usually find either some test cases or message exchange about it that will give you a good idea about the model you are looking for.</p>\n",

In order to save on energy usage I have the computer shut down if it's going to be idle for more than 15 minutes, and automatically boot back up 10 minutes before the next scheduled activity.</p>
<p>The problem is that, if the computer boots with the TV off, it doesn't detect the display. When I turn the TV on it will display absolutely nothing. I must then reboot the computer with the TV on to get it to detect the display correctly so I can watch TV. Of course, I can't reboot the computer if it's in the middle of recording a show - which makes the whole thing a bit frustrating.</p>
<p>How can I set the display settings so they are permanent, rather than detected on boot? Or, how can I have the display re-detected and then restart X via command line so that I don't have to reboot? Or, are there any other suggested solutions?</p>

It's especially obvious to me because I have my keyboard's audio out hooked up to my soundcard's in, which is then redirected to a different audio out device on my computer. I'd say there's at least 1/8th sec lag introduced.</p>

<p>My laptop is a Acer TravelMate 8471.</p>
<p>One thing I noticed after the last time I rebooted in to Ubuntu were that my touchpad were acting a bit weird. Usually I scroll with two fingers (same on Win7), but suddenly my mouse would just jump around and send a lot of weird keypresses at the same time, when I tried to scroll. I tried having a look at the settings in the synclient, but everything seemed to be the same. I turned the touchpad off and then on, tried messing around with a lot of settings, but nothing seemed to help the two-finger scroll problem.</p>
<p>Then I rebooted my computer, but the problem was still there. At last I turned the computer off, waited 5 seconds and turned it on again. And all of a sudden my touchpad worked just as good as before.</p>
<p>This is happening every time I reboot from Win7, in to Ubuntu, and the only thing that fixes it, is to turn off the laptop, and then turn it on again (no waiting required).</p>
<p>My guess is that the Synaptics driver on Win7 does something to the touchpad, that is not reset before a complete power off.</p>
<p>Have anyone gotten any suggestions?</p>

<p>Can anyone suggest a good printer?</p>

11162 | 1 | 12684 | 2010-11-03T12:49:54.593 | 8 | 618 | <p>I'm trying to create a simple application indicator that mimics the CPU load applet for the gnome-panel. </p>
<p>I currently do this by updating (overwriting) the status icon of the indicator with the new CPU load information and re-set the status icon to the same icon on every update (I know this is stupid, but I don't know if it's currently possible to solve otherwise). </p>
<p>Unfortunately this doesn't work and I always see the "first" icon state, eg.</p>
<p><img src="https://img.xrmb2.net/images/439338.png"></p>
<p>The indicator icon doesn't update, while the icon's content does.</p>
<p>I also tried to temporarily set the status icon to something else first, eg.</p>
<pre><code>...
update_icon()
indicator.set_icon("indicator-messages")
indicator.set_icon("indicator-cpu-load")
...
</code></pre>
<p>but that didn't work either.</p>
<p>Any ideas?</p>
<hr>
<p><b>UPDATE:</b></p>
<p>It is indeed possible to do what I wanted using a hack to cause the indicator to repaint its icon (thanks to Jorge Castro and Ted Gould):</p>
<pre><code>...
update_icon()
indicator.set_status(appindicator.STATUS_ATTENTION)
indicator.set_status(appindicator.STATUS_ACTIVE)
...
</code></pre>
<p>The attention state icon should be the same as the active state icon, else there would be some flicker.</p>

11184 | 1 | 11187 | 2010-11-03T14:44:16.997 | 17 | 73620 | <p>I made the mistake of trying out some settings through Administration -> Language Support. Now my user account has <code>LANG</code> set to <code>fi_FI.utf8</code>, even though I want to use <code>en_US.utf8</code>. (This is kind-of a follow up to <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/6016/how-to-set-monday-as-the-first-day-of-the-week-in-gnome-calendar-applet">this</a>.)</p>
<p>Listing 1: current locale settings for my user account:</p>
<pre><code>$ locale
LANG=fi_FI.utf8
LANGUAGE=en
LC_CTYPE="fi_FI.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="fi_FI.utf8"
LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="fi_FI.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="fi_FI.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="fi_FI.utf8"
LC_PAPER=fi_FI.utf8
LC_NAME="fi_FI.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="fi_FI.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="fi_FI.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT=fi_FI.utf8
LC_IDENTIFICATION="fi_FI.utf8"
LC_ALL=
</code></pre>
<p>Listing 2: /etc/default/locale which contains the locale settings I want to use:</p>
<pre><code>$ cat /etc/default/locale
LANG="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="fi_FI.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="fi_FI.utf8"
</code></pre>
<p>The Administration -> Language support settings look like this:</p>

<img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/YqtQk.png" width="315"></p>
<p>My specific questions: </p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Where exactly (in what file) are the user-specific locale settings (listing 1) stored?</strong></li>
<li><strong>What is the recommended way of changing that?</strong> By editing a file or through some config UI? (I want to use the settings in listing 2.)</li>
</ul>
<p>The root annoyance which prompted me to ask this: How to change Firefox UI language from Finnish back to English?</p>
<p>I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 if that makes any difference.</p>

<p>Enabling the "use screen magnifier" (or whatever) option breaks down the view horribly, and makes it impossible to even access the settings again: </p>

<p>Yes, I tried to access every corner of the screen using the mouse, but there's just chaos everywhere. Fortunately, I can still log in (pressing "Esc" makes the normal login dialog appear on the left-hand monitor).</p>
<p>My question is, how to disable the "magnifier" option <strong>outside of the login screen itself</strong>? (By editing some config file perhaps?) I don't care about getting the magnifier mode to work properly - just make it go away altogether, please.</p>

<p>It's not the whole computer becoming less responsive, because if I use the touch pad during one of these fits, it works perfectly smooth. I've replaced the batteries in the mouse and have tried different USB ports with better line of sight, etc. I can't figure out what's going on. Any thoughts?</p>

<p>I use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (32-bit) and I didn't bother to install the Flash plugin for Firefox as I am using a netbook and sometimes Flash caused firefox to crash. What I would like to ask is if I had the link to the video, is there some way I can download it and watch it offline (via VLC) so that I don't need to install Flash plugin? Command line or GUI techniques is welcome.</p>
<p>Based on what I have read, using the <em>/tmp</em> technique requires Flash plugin to be installed and the video to be loaded before I can go scavenge it in the said directory. Note that I also want to dload videos from site aside from youtube.</p>

It states that I have to apply a patch which I've downloaded onto the machine. My question is, the article says to use the following command:</p>
<pre><code>/usr/src/linux # patch -p1 < file.diff //note I replace file.diff w/ routes-2.6.36.16.diff
</code></pre>
<p>This returns:</p>
<pre><code>-bash: /usr/src/linux: No such file or directory
</code></pre>
<p>I go on to assume that <code>/linux #</code> should be replaced with the actual linux kernel version/dir. I've tried this using the following command:</p>
<pre><code>/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35.22 patch -p1 < file.diff
</code></pre>
<p>This returns the same. When I view the contents of /usr/src I only have two directories <code>linux-headers-2.6.35.22</code> and <code>linux-headers-2.6.35.22-generic-pae</code> I need guidance as to the correct way to apply a patch to the kernel. </p>
<p><strong>Edit</strong></p>
<p>If I execute <code>/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35.22/ patch -p1 file.diff</code> I get <code>-bash: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35.22: is a directory</code>. I need to know how I go about finding the specific file that needs to be patched here...</p>

I copied them and pasted them all in Inkscape, nothing strange, but then every time I copied a new image to the Inkscape workspace somehow the images that were already there got replaced with the image I just copied. I don't know if it's a feature of Inkscape or something like that, or could it be Ubuntu.</p>
<p>Well, I certainly don't know what it is but it's rather annoying.</p>
<p>Also this affects the PDF files that were already created. Say I have a PDF with an image of a dog, and I click copy and choose the image of a cat, the PDF file gets edited, even when it's not in use.</p>

"body": "<p>If your scanner doesn't work with <code>simple scan</code>, it is probably best to install the <code>iscan</code> package. The following general instructions will work for your model and any other ones listed on the site.</p>\n\n<p>It is worth explaining in detail which packages to choose as the download site is quite confusing. As noted in the comments by <a href=\"https://askubuntu.com/users/30663/joz3\">JoZ3</a> the preferred site is now the <a href=\"http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">Epson download centre</a> rather than the old <a href=\"http://www.avasys.jp/lx-bin2/linux_e/scan/DL1.do\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">Avays site</a>.</p>\n\n<p>First, select the scanner model and OS from <a href=\"http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">the Epson site</a>, and then refer to the <a href=\"http://download.ebz.epson.net/faq/linux/faq_ls_00002.html\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">important FAQ</a>, which explains the packages and the order they need to be installed.</p>\n\n<p>After you click accept on the driver download page for your model (V500 in this case), there are a lot of confusing options as detailed below:</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/JrcN1.png\" alt=\"enter image description here\"></p>\n\n<p>1) <em>Selecting the packages</em></p>\n\n<p>In all cases choose the <code>.deb</code> files. If you are on a 32 bit system, you will need the package that has <code>i386</code> in it or if you are on a 64 bit system you will need the ones with <code>x86_64</code> or <code>amd_64</code> in them.</p>\n\n<p>You need both the data and the core packages, as noted by the <a href=\"http://download.ebz.epson.net/faq/linux/faq_ls_00002.html\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">FAQ</a>.</p>\n\n<p>However, it is also very <strong>important</strong> to note that if you are using an Ubuntu version that is 8.10 or higher (which mostly everyone is), you must choose the deb file that contains <code>usb0.1.ltdl7</code> somewhere in its title. (The debs with <code>usb0.1.ltdl3</code> in the deb title are for Ubuntu versions 8.04 and lower.)</p>\n\n<p>Referring to the above screenshot, for a 32 bit system you would thus choose the following packages for your scanner:</p>\n\n<pre><code>iscan_2.29.1-5~usb0.1.ltdl7_i386.deb\niscan-data_1.19.0-1_all.deb\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>If you want the additional plugin (<code>iscan-plugin-gt-x770_2.1.2-1_i386.deb</code> for a 32 bit system), please go back to the <a href=\"http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">original screen</a> and select it.</p>\n\n<p>You may also want to select the user guide for <code>iscan</code>; the English version is listed on the site as <code>userg_revQ_e.pdf</code>.</p>\n\n<p>2) <em>Installing the Packages</em></p>\n\n<p>Now locate your downloaded files and use <code>software-center</code> or <code>gdebi</code> to install the <code>iscan-data</code> first and then the main <code>iscan</code> package (and after that the plugin if necessary). </p>\n\n<p>3) <em>Running the Program</em></p>\n\n<p>Now it's probably best to logout and login again and then switch your scanner on and go to the menu to find the <code>iscan</code> program in the graphics tab. Now start the program and your scanner should automatically be recognised and be ready for use.</p>\n\n<p>(The example below is from another one of my scanners set up in the way described above.)</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/BXIxy.png\" alt=\"enter image description here\"></p>\n",

Some of my USB Drives are exhibiting weird results which may be due to testing patterns etc, so some test options would really help me out (chunk size, flush buffer on every write, test size, data pattern / access pattern)</p>
<p>Any suggestions?</p>
