11286 | 1 | 11287 | 2010-11-04T05:40:46.690 | 24 | 36375 | <p>I can relate to acronyms and abbreviations much more readily when I actually know how they were derived.</p>
<p>It is <strong>oftn pssble to wrk out wht an abrvtion means</strong> if you know the the root words behind it... but unfortunately <code>etc</code> is a standard abbreviation for "<strong>et-cetera</strong>"... and for <code>usr</code> I think of <strong>"user</strong>"... but I can't see any correlation.</p>
<p>Most of the terse names in Linux actually make sense when I finally work out the <strong>expanded</strong> original normal words behind them..</p>
<p>Are the origins of these abbreviations lost in the mists of time, or are they "obvious" to all but me?</p>
<p>This question was prompted by a comment I read yesterday, where someone described these things as Linux <strong>incantations</strong> ... I sympathize with him :)...</p>

11293 | 1 | 30450 | 2010-11-04T06:30:10.497 | 7 | 13853 | <p>I have an ubuntu desktop 10.4 "server" with 5 hardrives. 1 of the hardrives had 3 OS's on it (Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Ubuntu 10.4). I primarily used the ubuntu OS so that I could use mdadm and boxee.</p>
<p>The other 4 hard drives were configured using mdadm in a Raid5 partition.</p>
<p>As far as I know, those 4 hard drives are fine...</p>
<p>But my main OS hard drive has completely died. The computer won't boot up, obviously, without a drive with an operating system.</p>
<p>My goal is to somehow reload an operating system onto a new hard drive that I just received from newegg.com, or to load a live cd...and then retrieve or reassemble my mdadm raid 5 partition so I can at least get my rather huge music collection off the machine and onto an external hard drive.</p>
<p>What [detailed] steps do I need to take in order to achieve this?</p>

<p>I downloaded the tar.gz file from TORproject .org and unzipped it. I clicked everything inside the directories but nothing happened. I also tried to install the addon from <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/torbutton/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Mozilla Addons</a>. The addon is installed but I can't see the TOR button anywhere. I checked relevant the option in the preferences section of tools>addons.</p>
<p>How do I install it?</p>
<p>Command:</p>
<pre><code>gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring \

11319 | 1 | null | 2010-11-04T11:44:02.203 | 5 | 2352 | <p>I just received a brand new business laptop from my company.</p>
<p>I wanted to install Ubuntu on it. I resized Windows 7 partition and started the installation of the 10.04 LTS. However, I soon discovered a big problem that prevented me to start the installation.</p>
<p>The issue is that the HDD is partitioned with 4 primary partitions: 2 for Win 7 (SYSTEM and C:) and 2 for HP recovery tools. Due to this fact, even if I have more than 200GB of free space, I cannot install a new partition, because 4 is the maximum number of primary partitions!</p>
<p>I'm very disappointed about that, it seems that this partitioning scheme actually prevents a user to install a different OS on the HP laptops.</p>
<p>I thought about removing the recovery partitions, but my company did not allow me to do so.</p>
<p>Do you know if there is any other way to install Ubuntu on this setup?</p>

<p>Whenever I make any changes that I want permanent, I would put the flash disk back into the USB slot (possibly not the same one as I used initially to boot, as I would like to keep many versions of the boot flash disk), and run some command that would save the current state into a compressed image on the disk.</p>

<a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/21305/ubuntu-10-10-forgets-desktop-theme">Ubuntu 10.10 forgets desktop theme.</a> </p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> It looks like i'm experiencing <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/574296" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this bug</a> where Ubuntu can't do themes on fast computers (e.g. SSD drive and/or i7 CPU).</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 x64 on a SECOND brand new computer. I logged in for the first time, and themes displayed ok, I then activated the recommended Nvidia driver, rebooted, and the themes don't display, same issue. If I kill "gnome-settings-" then run "sudo gnome-settings-daemon" the themes work again (until I reboot).</p>
<p>I just installed Ubuntu 10.10, and after activating the Nvidia drivers, and Ubuntu seems to have lost the theme, it looks like old school 9.04 or something (but some parts, like the window title/menu bars look new)</p>
<p>Jorge suggested in the comments that: "This isn't a theme issue, you're gnome-system-daemon is likely crashing. Is this persistent across reboots?"</p>
<p>Looking back, I think the problems started when I tried to start using dual monitors. I ran the "NVDIA X Server Settings" applet, and accidentally chose "Separate X screen (requires X restart)" at which point I got different displays on each monitor, but each had their own panel and applications menu etc. I've since switched to "TwinView" which is the one I think I should have chosen originally.</p>
<p>Running <em>gnome-settings-daemon</em> produced the following output:</p>
<pre><code> alex@alex-pc3:~$ – alex@alex-pc3:~$ gnome-settings-daemon
** (gnome-settings-daemon:11554): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.SettingsDaemon
** (gnome-settings-daemon:11554): WARNING **: Could not acquire name
</code></pre>
<p>If I run <code>sudo gnome-setttings-daemon</code>, then it seems to work, my panel and windows and icons etc all look modern as per the latest theme. However, after restarting the problem is back, so I guess I can manually run gnome-settings-daemon.</p>
<p>I get this output from gnome-settings-daemon:</p>
<pre><code>alex@alex-pc3:~$ sudo gnome-settings-daemon
alex@alex-pc3:~$
** (gnome-settings-daemon:1978): WARNING **: Grab failed for some keys, another application may already have access the them.
** (gnome-settings-daemon:1978): WARNING **: Clipboard manager is already running.
Unable to find a synaptics device.
</code></pre>
<p>I rebooted again, I typed "ps - A | grep settings" and found one process running called "gnome-settings-", so it looks like gnome-settings-daemon is running, but not working?</p>
<p>Debug Output:</p>

11411 | 1 | 11425 | 2010-11-04T20:21:41.487 | 1 | 1478 | <p>I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 on a machine running Windows 7 Ultimate currently. I have few doubts, before I moved forward with installation regarding partitioning (I have lot vista last time without any back up :( ).
So I am following the <a href="http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/dual-boot-windows-7-ubuntu.html" rel="nofollow">tutorial here</a> </p>
<p>My current machine config is:</p>
<ul>
<li>Windows 7 Ultimate</li>
<li>300 GB (262 GB NTFS Windows + 100 Mb (System files) + 37 GB Unallocated (Used Windows Shrink Tool))</li>
<li>I have Ubuntu 10.10 on USB (with USB plug in (which boots it perfectly))</li>
</ul>
<p>My doubts are:
The author has mentioned about making multiple partitions under Ubuntu and windows-</p>
<ul>
<li>Windows 7 system partition(I am guessing its my 262 GB) (sda1)</li>
<li>Extended Partition - (sda2)</li>
<li>Windows Partition (Windows Files) - (sda5)</li>
</ul>
<p>Windows data partition (user files);"You can share it in Linux". I definitely want this, if I can at least open my media(pics, videos n all from both OS)</p>
<p>Linux Root,
Linux swap,
Linux Home</p>
<p>1.Do I really need all this?
2.If I do need these 3 Linux partitions, considering 37GB for Linux, how would you suggested me distribute it?</p>
<p>Your help is highly appreciated.</p>

<p>I've got it setup with a secondary LCD monitor, and I've changed the display settings so the laptop screen and monitor are at optimal resolution, with the desktop shared between them. After startup though (typically around 10-30 seconds) the display reverts to 1024 x 768 on both screens, and the display is duplicated (i.e. both screens show the same thing).</p>
<p>I think this is something to do with my video card, as I had the same problem when I was running Arch Linux. Any ideas?</p>

The sound still works and I can hear the clip playing, but I can not see the video, or even the controls.</p>
<p>This is true for many of the flash based video players, and I think it even happens to some of the flash games out there on Firefox.</p>
<p>Everything works fine on Chromium. This isn't that weird because Chromium has its own flash plugin. However, some flash players still function properly on Firefox, like the full episode flash player on thedailyshow.com</p>
<p>Why would flash be grey box for some flash players but not all?</p>
<p>I have a 32bit system, and a ATI x300 GPU card, which has been giving me problems right after updating to 10.10, but that seems to be resolved now. I selected the allow proprietary codecs stuff at install , and then installed the Adobe Flash PPA and plugin in Ubuntu Tweak.</p>

<p>My reason for this it to let apt/Synaptic sort out the dependencies... </p>

Some of the X mess has been through flexible design, some have been growing pains. All the compositors (Compiz/Metacity/Mutter/KWin/etc) have been added as an afterthought. They are, at their core, hacks to do what X should probably be doing itself. If things carry on expanding outwards like they have been, we'll get to a point where the project become unmaintainable.</p>\n\n<p>All in all, when hardware support is there, it should make the whole stack more efficient and less painful to use in standard setups.</p>\n\n<p>However there are a couple of issues that I haven't seen remedies for so far:</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><p>X is pretty network-aware. You can send windows to other computers, you can have multiple screens with remote logins and all sorts of funky things like that. This might seem fairly specialist but it's widely used technology. Wayland appears fairly local and static in comparison.</p></li>\n<li><p>There's also driver support. Closed-source drivers are yet to support the KMS/shared-GEM/shared-DRM technologies that Wayland thrives upon. A purist might be okay with Nouveau but somebody who pays £100-400 on a high performance 3D graphics card won't be happy with the flaky poor 3d performance they'd get with the current open driver.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Update:</strong> <a href=\"http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTgxMDE\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Nvidia is working to support both Wayland and Mir</a>.</p></li>\n</ul>\n\n<hr>\n\n<p><strong>2018 update</strong>. 17.10 used Wayland as the default display server (unless you had a closed driver, or a driver that didn't support it, or needed X). 18.04 and 18.10 both use X as global default (though you can install Wayland).</p>\n\n<p>I'm not in charge of anything but from this position, it seems like we're still a metric Nvidia away from getting <em>real</em> traction. Until that point, I don't think we're going to see enough mindshare and developing power get behind Wayland. The gaming/performance market is using X. The MCE market are using X (and direct framebuffers). I'm not sure Wayland will ever have a real chance.</p>\n",

11542 | 1 | 11544 | 2010-11-05T14:09:57.490 | 9 | 1569 | <p>I tend to run Windows apps with VirtualBox in seamless mode (so that virtualized Windows applications windows and Windows taskbar appear alongside host OS windows instead of a separate virtual machine screen). To make the experience even more "seamless" I'd like Windows theming (especially windows' title bars and a taskbar) to look exactly as Ubuntu windows look. So it seems that I need a Windows clone of Ubuntu Ambiance theme. Is there one?</p>
<p>I'm ok to have Windows minimize/maximize buttons on the right, as I've switched Ubuntu to the same classic mode.</p>
<p>I am interested in both Windows XP <em>and Windows 7</em> themes.</p>

</code></pre>
<p>This might be a red herring. Later on it pauses at this:</p>
<pre><code>poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000) = 1 ([{fd=3, revents=POLLIN}])
recvmsg(3, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"l\2\1\1\v\0\0\0\3\0\0\0=\0\0\0\6\1s\0\7\0\0\0:1.3497\0"..., 2048}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC}, MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC) = 91
recvmsg(3, 0x7fff8c57cc00, MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
sendmsg(3, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(2)=[{"l\1\0\1\0\0\0\0\3\0\0\0{\0\0\0\1\1o\0\32\0\0\0/com/ubu"..., 144}, {"", 0}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 144
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000
</code></pre>
<p>And then it does it again... These two pauses account for most of the load time.</p>
<p>And then it really flips out with <strong><em>thousands</em></strong> of poll/read/temporarily unavailable lines.</p>
<p>So what on earth is going on here? Why is Software Centre scanning what looks to be any possible python package looking for <code>StringIO</code>? Bug?</p>
<p>Then why is it stalling at what looks like a web-request to something.ubuntu.com (can't see the full message)? Why is it talking to ubuntu.com anyway?</p>

Currently Ubuntu is at top and Windows is the very last one. If we dont make a choice for some seconds, it automatically boots Ubuntu. Can I swap this with Windows being default if the user doesn't make any choice?</p>

<p>The error on my desktop (Ubuntu 10.04) is: <code>Could not find compatible GRE between version 1.9.1 and 1.9.2.*</code></p>
<p>Does anyone know other software?</p>

<p>Just a few point that I clarified in the comments :</p>
<ul>
<li>This is a <em>worst case scenario</em> backup, I would like to be able to read it on a windows machine without installing anything.</li>
<li>I got a lot of data that stay constant. So I save a lot of time if I have a tool that just copy the newer files.</li>
<li>I am not looking for a rewrite of rsync. I am looking for a existing tool that can be used out of the box.</li>

If I open the main evolution window and click on send/receive then everything is ok.
Is this a bug in evolution or do I miss something?
It seems like, when I use just the indicators quick sending option evolution quits before sending the message. Anybody has the same problem? Should I report this or it is a known bug?

11647 | 1 | null | 2010-11-05T22:20:08.950 | 3 | 1207 | <p>I just bought a Dell Mini 1012, which comes with a Broadcom Crystal media accelerator chip. I'd like to know what is the current state-of-the-art with regard to using this hardware on Ubuntu? What I mean by this is, what is the best way to install drivers to make use of this hardware, and what media players currently support it? I've read that XBMC currently does, but what about gstreamer? </p>
<p>Ideally, I'd like to find a solution so that I can accelerate Flash videos using the device. It seems like one strategy may be to download Flash videos to the hard drive and play them with an external, Crystal-enabled media player, and so that seems like one option, but I'm wondering if any of the free flash alternatives (Gnash and Lightspark) support hardware acceleration of flash video using the Crystal API?</p>
<p>It seems like there is a lot of information about all of this on the web, but it's not consolidated, and seems like a rapidly moving target, so any insight anyone may have into this would be appreciated.</p>

11651 | 1 | 11655 | 2010-11-05T22:38:13.700 | 1 | 2275 | <p>I'm trying to create a Live CD .iso image of my Ubuntu 10.10 installation with Remastersys.</p>
<p>The problem with this, is that it creates .iso's of about 750-770 MBs, I need the images to be less than 700MB so that I can burn the .iso on a CD. </p>
<p><em>How can I do this?</em> Can I remove some programs or some features of Ubuntu to lessen the space? </p>

In the "Effects" category, I can choose the gears in the cube but not the aquarium.
I really would have liked to see fishes swimming around in my desktop.</p>
