12383 | 1 | 1075860 | 2010-11-10T00:39:20.547 | 76 | 45371 | <p>Is it possible to make Ubuntu go into Hibernate state from Suspend, aka "Suspend Sedation"?</p>
<p>What I am looking for is this:<br>
When I close the lid, the laptop is put into Suspend. Then, after a pre-determined time (even if the battery is going strong) if I still don't use it, it should put itself into a Hibernate to save battery power.</p>
<p>For example, my laptop is set up to go into a Suspend once I close the lid. If then I don't use it for entire day, the battery goes flat, because even in suspend mode the hardware still consumes a small amount of power, and the battery eventually discharges.
What I want is to be able to tell Ubuntu that even if it is suspended, it still needs to go into Hibernate after some hours of inactivity.</p>
<p>Windows can do that.
Ubuntu can be programmed to go into Standby <strong>or</strong> Hibernate on timer, but not both.</p>

12385 | 1 | 13244 | 2010-11-10T00:58:58.730 | 4 | 1711 | <p>About a week ago, I upgraded my Dell Optiplex GX520 from 10.04 Lucid Lynx to 10.10. Unfortunately, I excitedly ignored all the warnings about how it was a beta release and I'm now stuck with a big problem: the screen resolution is way too small.</p>
<p>Right now, when going to System->Preferences->Monitors, I see 1024x768 listed as the current display setting, with the only higher setting being 1360x768 (which is useless as it just squeezes the screen). Before the upgrade, everything looked fine- I was able to view certain websites without a horizontal scroll bar, but after the upgrade, the entire interface looks oversized and I can't seem to find a way to change it.</p>
<p>Is there some way I can downgrade the OS, or even my version of whatever package manages screen resolutions, so I can "reset" it to how it was working before the upgrade? Or is there any other fix that I can do?</p>
<p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
<p>Running <code>xrandr</code> returns the following:</p>
<p><code>Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 4096 x 4096
VGA1 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
1360x768 59.8<br>
1024x768 60.0*
800x600 60.3 56.2<br>
848x480 60.0<br>
640x480 59.9 59.9
</code></p>
<p>This is basically what I saw in System->Preferences->Monitors... except that it looks like with a maximum of res of 4096x4096, I should be able to make it higher.</p>
<p>Thanks for any help in advance.</p>

<p>Any recommendations?</p>
<p>** <strong>UPDATE</strong> **</p>
<p>I just tried the <a href="http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/pdfimport" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Open Office</a> PDF import extension. It seems to work ok... If anyone used it for a while, I'd appreciate your feedback on that one. Thanks!</p>
<p>** <strong>UPDATE</strong> **</p>
<p>You can't highlight text with OpenOffice's PDF extension.</p>
<p>Doesn't matter, I was reading <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=752785" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> thread and found out about <a href="https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/xournal" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Xournal</a> <a href="https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/xournal" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://hostmar.co/software-small" alt="Install xournal"></a>. As it turns out, it's in the repository. It does not natively save in PDF, but once all edits are done, the document can be exported to PDF (and overwrite the old one, just like Gimp with the native .XCE format and original PNG file, for example)</p>
<p>I realize that this question is no longer a question in itself, but could be migrated to community wiki. However, feedbacks are still welcome!</p>
<p>** <strong>EDIT</strong> **</p>
<p>So... to close up this question, I have to say that I adopted <a href="https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/xournal" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Xournal</a> <a href="https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/xournal" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://hostmar.co/software-small" alt="Install xournal"></a>.

</blockquote>
<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I've recently decided to give my old <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/SP43" rel="nofollow noreferrer">iBook G4</a> a new life. As a consequence, after some search, I found <a href="http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/10.10/release/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ubuntu Maverick Meerkat for PowerPC ISO</a> and installed it. It was fine (although some steps - like correctly configuring network and Airport Extreme - were not that easy, but it's a different story).</p>
<p>So, I've now a working Maverick Meerkat on my iBook.</p>
<p>Besides, I've recently discovered Ubuntu Netbook Remix, and I consider it would be a very cool addition to my iBook and its limited display (1024x768 ... yes, it's that old).</p>
<p>But from what I can see, it seems that UNR ISO is only available for x86 platforms (but I may be wrong, in which case I hope you'll correct me). So is it a way to install it over a "traditionnal" Ubuntu desktop install ? And if so, will it work on PowerPC architecture ?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p><strong>EDIT</strong> (I let the question open, as it seems to me as a related issue). So, I installed it, and the computer did not complains about it. Unfortunatly, when trying to log in using UNR as desktop (selection done on login screen, when entering the password), I only get a screen telling me to insert the CD (which of course I have not), after what session does not opens, and I go back to login screen. What is the solution to that problem ?</p>

Now it does a right click and three fingers now are the middle click. I really can't understand the change and think it is a bug or badly copied from Apple or something. The reasoning escapes me totally.
I use middle click to open links in a new tab in the browser all day and I rarely use right click (and I have a right mouse button below the touchpad, doh)
Tapping three fingers on my tiny EeePC touchpad is next to impossible so I want the old behavior.
I found:</p>
<pre><code>synclient TapButtons2=2
synclient TapButtons3=3
</code></pre>
<p>but that did not work on 10.10</p>
<p>Does anyone know how to restore sane behavior?</p>

<p>So, i wrote this code:</p>
<pre><code>for usb_key in `ls /media/`;
do
for file in `ls -a /home/daniele/USB/MASTER`;
do
cp /home/daniele/USB/MASTER/"$file" /media/$usb_key/"$file"
done;
done;
for usb_key in `ls /media`;
do
umount /media/$usb_key
done;
#alert me that the work is done
totem /home/daniele/USB/0016.mp3 &
exit
</code></pre>
<p>But, if i have a folder named "DO NOT DELETE" into <code>/home/daniele/USB/MASTER</code>, this throw an error becose of the filenames.</p>
<p>So, how can i do solve that?
There is a way to replace all the whitespaces in the <code>$file</code> var with <code>\</code>?</p>

Here is the screenshot from the Maverick fresh installation:</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/13NoC.png\" alt=\"alt text\"></p>\n\n<p>What does that warning mean? I'm not sure but I feel that its something related with the keyboard layout. I use \"Turkish Q\" layout. That warning might try to say that \"there's a Default layout for <strong>onboard</strong> but, for now, <strong>not that Default</strong> but <strong>your default</strong> layout will be started\". If this is the case, obviously, it makes sense. However, I have no clue what the \"main Default\" is or what to do in order not to get that warning, but -at least for me- that warning has no ill effect and I didn't even know about such a warning before I read your question. (I don't start onboard from terminal so I haven't seen it.) In my opinion that is not the important part of your problem or maybe its not an issue at all.</p>\n\n<p>Your second and main problem: You say that onboard crashes when you minimize it. On my Maverick system, when I minimize onboard (version 0.94.0), its icon still lies on the bottom panel as usual for most of the programs. Like this (circled in red):</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/lRPN1.png\" alt=\"alt text\"></p>\n\n<p>But on my Karmic system (<strong>onboard</strong> version 0.92.0) it behaves in a different way: When I minimize <strong>onboard</strong> , its icon sits the top panel, right side. Like this (circled in red):</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/ky4GK.png\" alt=\"alt text\"></p>\n\n<p>On Karmic, with <strong>onboard</strong> version 0.92.0, if this is not set to be on top panel, it crashes when onboard is minimized. Most probably, this is a bug. So, on Karmic, I set it to be on top panel. On Maverick, with <strong>onboard</strong> version 0.94.0, both ways work, as it should be, so its up to taste to choose one or the other behaviour, i.e. minimizing to top or bottom. It may be possible to uninstall 0.92.0 and install 0.94.0 on Karmic but I didn't try it and I don't know if there are dependency problems or not.</p>\n\n<p>So, from where can we set this behaviour? Let's go to the Settings section of onboard. How? Start onboard (version 0.92.0 in this example) and click on the area circled in red:</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/uetgp.png\" alt=\"alt text\"></p>\n\n<p>Now click on the <strong>Settings</strong> :</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/F2dvV.png\" alt=\"alt text\"></p>\n\n<p>Tick the option \"<em>Show icon in system tray to hide/show onboard</em>\":</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/RbHd7.png\" alt=\"alt text\"></p>\n\n<p>Settings interface for <strong>onboard</strong> 0.94.0 is a little bit different, but the same choise exists as shown belown (remember that on Maverick with v. 0.92.0 that choice was a must as a workaround to prevent crash; here it is optional as an option should be):</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/Jka10.png\" alt=\"alt text\"></p>\n\n<p>In short, in your situation (Karmic + most probably <strong>onboard</strong> v. 0.92.0) I advice to tick that box. Then, you don't have to start it from the terminal; you may start it via <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>F2</kbd> or via Applications menu (if you have added <strong>onboard</strong> to the menu.)</p>\n",

<p>I'm using following command to create a tar file of the specified directories on the source system.</p>
<pre><code>tar -cvzf ~/clone.tgz --exclude ~/clone.tgz --exclude /etc/hosts --exclude /etc/hostname --exclude /etc/udev/ --exclude /etc/network/interfaces --exclude /etc/resolv.conf /etc /home /opt /tmp /usr /var /mnt
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Is there any precautions before using tar? (the tar is one time creation from then I'll be using rsync)</li>
<li>Should I've to include any more directory like bin or lib? - suggest me</li>
<li>Should I've to exclude any directory? Like I had a network device (eth0) problem (failed to start up eth0). So in the above command I've excluded "/etc/udev/" and after this I felt this was fine. Like this, is there any thing I've to exclude from /etc/ or from any directory that I've included? - suggest me.</li>
<li>How could I schedule rsync (incremental bkp) with ssh combination to sync the directories (specified in tar) to the remote location (say /mnt/newdir) which I could tar and extract it later in case of system failure. Rsync can be scheduled to run as root user but the ssh will prompt for the password. FYI, sudo is completely disabled and as well as direct ssh login to root is also disabled.</li>
</ul>
<p>If there is any better way without any harm to server to achieve this, can suggest.</p>

12502 | 1 | null | 2010-11-10T14:27:49.707 | 7 | 35119 | <p>So I've gone and bought a Magic Mouse and Apple Wireless Non-Numeric Keyboard.
The magic mouse worked out-of-the-box almost perfectly, except for the forward/back gesture which still isn't functioning, whereas the keyboard didn't.</p>
<p>It has constant trouble with the bluetooth connection. Only the 7, 8 and 9 buttons and volume media keys correspond correctly with the output.
Pressing every single key on keyboard has this output:
789/=456*123-0.+</p>
<p>When I use Blueman the keyboard can be setup and shows up in "Devices" but I get a warning when I click "Setup"; "Device added successfully, but failed to connect" (although removing the keyboard and setting it up as a new device doesn't incur this error).</p>
<p>Using gnome-bluetooth I have encountered no error messages but it connects properly less often than Blueman and I can still only type the aforementioned output.</p>
<p>What am I not doing? Where is this going wrong?</p>
<p>EDIT:
I have read this
<a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224673">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224673</a>
inside out several times to no avail. It seems these commands don't work for me with the apple peripherals
sudo hidd --search
hcitool scan</p>
<p>Fortunately I have the luxury of a 1TB hard drive, near limitless patience and no job.</p>
<p>I have installed a fresh Ubuntu 10.10 64bit (albeit smaller than mine) and after updating and restarting for the first time, I set up my devices in exactly the same way as I have learnt on my original install
I succeeded once again with the mouse and, to my joy, with the keyboard also. Though I could not seem to find Alt+F2 and had to reconfigure that and several other keyboard shortcuts, the keyboard is working and in a spectacular fashion.</p>
<p>Still, this leaves me with the issue of my original install.
I returned to it with some new found knowledge but failed again.</p>
<p>Perhaps I have a missing dependancy? I did uninstall bluetooth after the initial set up and reinstalled it recently for the pupose of these peripherals.</p>
<p>Maybe it's because I'm running 64bit?</p>
<p>This is still not solved, but easily avoided by not changing too much from the original install.
Just hide stuff or turn it off, don't uninstall too much.</p>

<p>I use some tools made available by barry-util from the repository, I am able to charge my Blackberry Curve 8300 via USB, I can also backup the address book and calendar to computer disk, however, I would like to know if there are any tools available to synchronise these types of phones directly with Evolution, I heard about a library called opensync and I am guessing that it can be used with barry to accomplish what I want.</p>
<p>I am presently synchronizing my phone with Google, see this: <a href="http://www.google.com/mobile/sync/" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com/mobile/sync/</a> I then export data from my Google web applications to use in Evolution, this is not as smooth as I would like. </p>

12543 | 1 | 20907 | 2010-11-10T19:20:47.253 | 2 | 1616 | <p>Is there a way to get the colors of a gnome custom theme to KDE without matching every single setting manually? (Theres tons of different color settings in the KDE color schemes, most of which I even don't know where they are applied ... </p>
<p>I use KDE with compiz to run emerald as windows decorator.
Because I really like the "Elementary"-theme. </p>
<p>Because my eyes aren't that great I had to tweak the gtk-elementary theme for some additional contrast. I saved it as "elementary-piedro". </p>
<p>Now I want to choose this theme in KDE-Systemsettings/appearance/gtk-applications but it doesnt't show the tweaked version? Where is it saved by the normal "gnome appearance preferences"-utility? </p>
<p>Is there a way to use the tweaked settings for KDE-applications?</p>

You can change the kernel packages from -server to -generic to -rt etc. You can change the motd or even just upgrade from a version where the motd isn't as long as the new one (none of my servers have ever come out with all that guff -- probably because they're upgraded from older LTSes).</p>\n\n<p>I guess the questions that all of us should be asking are: <strong>Why does it matter? What are you trying to learn? What difference does it make to you?</strong></p>\n\n<p>If you're trying to run something graphical, check for what you actually need (X, x11vnc, etc).

The point here —applied to your thoughts— is the person handing the system could easily have taken a server and configured it to be a desktop. If you turn it back into a server, you've done harm.

<p>With others app (non java) the problem doesn't appear. </p>
<p>So my question is if this can be a Java problem or a video card (+ driver) problem?</p>

<p>Parallels 5 Linux tools (guest additions) don't work for 10.10 and 11.04 and I don't want them. I like how the VM is integrated as is. The only thing that needs tuning is the screen geometry.</p>
<p>None of the options in the Systems -> Preferences -> Monitors fit my display perfectly. I need it at <strong>1080 x 1920 (9:16)</strong> or <strong>1920 x 1080 (16:9)</strong>.</p>
<p>Many different resolutions work (see screen-shot bellow), among which are:</p>
<ul>
<li>1680 x 1080 (too narrow horizontally and a bit too short vertically)</li>
<li>1920 x 1200 (perfect horizontally, but a bit too tall vertically)</li>
</ul>
<p>How can I adjust the screen resolution (display/monitor size) manually?</p>

12597 | 1 | 12617 | 2010-11-11T02:15:18.087 | 2 | 1019 | <p>I have recently been trying to setup a wireless access point on a small ubuntu server, but the wifi card doesn't seem to be compatible. Its a Dlink DWA-552, which I was hoping would work, but the chipset doesn't seem to support what I'm trying to do.</p>
<p>Is there another wireless card that's currently available that would work? This particular server only has a single PCI slot available, so that may be a limitation. I'd also prefer a card that supports 802.11 N (non-draft), but the important thing is that it works. If it works, I'd be happy with 802.11 N-draft or even 802.11 G.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any recommendations?</p>

I have a Ubuntu desktop edition instance running as a virtual machine on a server. I would like to use it as my primary open source dev environment but the VNC tools I have used don't seem to be as rich as "Remote Desktop Connection" in Windows.</p>
<p>The three things that are missing for me:</p>
<ul>
<li>connecting/logging into a non-console user sessions</li>
<li>dynamically resizing the graphical resolution based on the size of the remote desktop window</li>
<li>device sharing (USB devices plugged into client shared with remote)</li>
</ul>
<p>Is there an appropriate client that I can run on Windows to connect to my Ubuntu dev instance that provides these capabilities?</p>

12630 | 1 | 12655 | 2010-11-11T10:02:04.820 | 1 | 545 | <p>This seems a very simple problem but it's driving me nuts. I'm trying to mount two ext4 partitions at boot time with /etc/fstab.(They are written differently because I read in a forum that there were some problems mounting by uuid)</p>
<p>Here are the two lines:</p>
<pre><code>UUID=c7fa17c3-e1e0-489e-93ec-341928069664 /home/alice/VirtualGarden ext4 rw,suid,dev,exec,auto,user,async 0 2
/dev/sda8 /home/alice/Saco ext4 rw,suid,dev,exec,auto,user,async 0 3
</code></pre>
<p>The main problem is that after boot I won't have access to either partition. They appear in my desktop, but when I try to list their content they are empty. Everything works if I mount them as a normal user after boot. For example:</p>
<pre><code>mount /home/alice/Saco
</code></pre>
<p>I don't know if this makes a difference, but the mount point (/home/alice/) is an <strong>encrypted partition</strong>. I tried to move the mount point to /Saco and it mounted perfectly after reboot.</p>
<p>Another thing is that if I use the UUID in fstab Nautilus creates two links for the same partition. I did some research and I have solved this by using /dev/disk/by-uuid/.</p>
<p>Any tips or advise are welcome.</p>

<p>www.eclipse.org knows this bug and it is RECOMMENDED to use 1.6.0.10 or more, or go jdk 1.5
I installed the latest JVM official but still crashes. I 6.0_18-b18 (I do not know if this is 1.6.0.10 ...)
So I installed an older version: 1.5.0_19, but I still have random crashes:</p>

It happens on my "real" computer and <strong>also</strong> in a VirtualBox VM... </p>
<p>(UPDATE) I just now installed Maverick 10.10 to a VM... and almost the same thing happens!<br>
I do have keyboard control (initially) but the only way I can exit the terminal is to close it with the process still running (or Ctrl+C), and this causes the lockup (pressing Enter doesn't take it back to the prompt) </p>
<pre><code>$ metacity --replace
</code></pre>
<p>The above command (in the terminal) causes my system to hang, <strong>every time</strong>. </p>
<p>The command does not return to the prompt.<br>
The window decoration disappears (maybe because the command hasn't completed?).<br>
The keyboard becomes <strong>non-functional</strong>, (but the mouse still works)... </p>
<p><strong>However</strong>, the following commands work fine, <strong>every time</strong>. </p>
<pre><code>$ (metacity --replace &)
$ metacity --replace & # this works too
</code></pre>
<hr>
<p>It may <strong>"hang"</strong> only in that I loose the keyboard, and so can't press Enter to bring it back to the prompt, (...as I have noticed is the case with some unrelated commands which don't "fully" return to the prompt, until I press Enter) </p>
<p>What's going on here?<br>
My "host" OS is not new, but the VM is in mint condition (almost)... and they both exhibit this keyboard "lock-up". </p>

However, I can't use it with the PC currently as I am waiting on a replacement heatsink. In the mean time, I wanted to use it with my Dell laptop. I hooked it up to the VGA port, and it seems to be working properly.</p>
<p>However, I wanted to know if there was a way I could move all of the main display elements over to the attached monitor? I wanted to shut the LCD panel off on the laptop and hook it up like a desktop.</p>
<p>Relevant specs:</p>
<p>Ubuntu 10.10 x64
Intel graphics chipset</p>
<p>The attached monitor is currently set as the default monitor.</p>
<p>Any suggestions are welcome. :)</p>

Still it would not be able to do the job (The details reason is given below).</p>\n<p>The correct (and easiest) way of doing so is using <code>-o</code> with <code>apt</code> to pass dpkg option and force <code>dpkg</code> to ask you whether you want to retain the modified config files or the original ones. The command will be like this -</p>\n<pre><code>sudo apt-get --reinstall -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confask" install foo\n</code></pre>\n<p>This would ask you a question like</p>\n<pre><code>Configuration file '/etc/foo/foo.conf'\n ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.\n Version in package is the same as at last installation.\n What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:\n Y or I : install the package maintainer's version\n N or O : keep your currently-installed version\n D : show the differences between the versions\n Z : start a shell to examine the situation\n The default action is to keep your current version.\n*** foo.conf (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? \n</code></pre>\n<p>You have to press either <strong>Y</strong> or <strong>I</strong> to install package maintainer's original config file. You can even press D to see what the changes or start a root shell with Z option to fix yourself.</p>\n<p><strong>Note:</strong> After the replacement, you'll find your modified file as <code>at /etc/foo/foo.conf.dpkg-old</code></p>\n<hr />\n<h2>Why other options would not work?</h2>\n<p>Because the other options in dpkg doesn't work well. The options which deals with a package's config files are</p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>--force-confmiss</code></li>\n<li><code>--force-confnew</code></li>\n<li><code>--force-confold</code></li>\n<li><code>--force-confdef</code></li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong><code>--force-confmiss</code></strong> would not work when package version doesn't change.

It has line <code>(Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N]</code> which means retaining is default. See above). And if <code>--force-confnew</code> is specified but version do not change, that too will not work. Quoting <a href=\"http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/en/man1/dpkg.1.html\" rel=\"noreferrer\">man-page</a></p>\n<blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>confdef: If a conffile has been modified and the version in the package did change, always choose the default action without prompting.

Is there any way to set an icon for a folder in such a way that the icon will be stored (hidden) within the folder and displayed automatically on multiple machines?</p>
<p>I found <a href="http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/279/" rel="nofollow">this Brainstorm idea</a> but thought it may be too specific in its use of <code>folder.jpg</code>. I'm just interested in <em>a</em> way to do this, regardless of what the file is named.</p>
<p>To clarify, I'm focused on the use of <strong>icons</strong>, not thumbnails.</p>
<p>I'm starting to believe that there is no way to do this without regularly running a script to set icons based on, say, an icon stored within each folder.</p>

<p>As bank data are quite sensitive, I would highly prefer an application that does encryption of the data. Though, if you have a really cool app but it does not have this feature, as long as it offers to store the data in one dedicated place, I could do with encrypting that place.</p>

"body": "<p>When you remove the password from your keyrings, gnome keyring manager will save the files as clear text. You can edit those files with a text editor and copy the keys around. Set a password to have the keyring files encrypted again.</p>\n\n<p>I suggest you backup your keyring files before doing this.</p>\n\n<p>I assume you have two keyrings like this:</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/6TzXL.png\" alt=\"two keyrings\"></p>\n\n<p>And the keyring files looking like this:</p>\n\n<pre><code>$ cd ~/.local/share/keyrings\n$ file foo.keyring bar.keyring \nfoo.keyring: GNOME keyring, major version 0, minor version 0, crypto type 0 (AEL), hash type 0 (MD5), name \"foo\", last modified Thu Jan 1 01:00:00 1970, created Thu Jan 1 01:00:00 1970, not locked if idle, hash iterations 1087, salt 10888099772058093604, 1 item(s)\nbar.keyring: GNOME keyring, major version 0, minor version 0, crypto type 0 (AEL), hash type 0 (MD5), name \"bar\", last modified Thu Jan 1 01:00:00 1970, created Thu Jan 1 01:00:00 1970, not locked if idle, hash iterations 1749, salt 12972167437702069911, 1 item(s)\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Remove the password from the two keyrings. To remove the password you have to change the password (right click > change password), enter the old password and leave the new password blank. A dialog will prompt you to verify that you want to store your passwords unencrypted.</p>\n\n<p>Now your files should look like this:</p>\n\n<pre><code>$ file foo.keyring bar.keyring \nfoo.keyring: ASCII text\nbar.keyring: ASCII text\n$ cat foo.keyring \n\n[keyring]\ndisplay-name=foo\nctime=0\nmtime=0\nlock-on-idle=false\nlock-after=false\n\n[1]\nitem-type=0\ndisplay-name=key1\nsecret=pass1\nmtime=1311897928\nctime=0\n$ cat bar.keyring \n\n[keyring]\ndisplay-name=bar\nctime=0\nmtime=0\nlock-on-idle=false\nlock-after=false\n\n[1]\nitem-type=0\ndisplay-name=key2\nsecret=pass2\nmtime=1311900380\nctime=0\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Edit the files using your favorite text editor. Make sure to change the section numbers so they are consecutive and do not overlap.</p>\n\n<pre><code>$ cat foo.keyring \n\n[keyring]\ndisplay-name=foo\nctime=0\nmtime=0\nlock-on-idle=false\nlock-after=false\n\n[1]\nitem-type=0\ndisplay-name=key1\nsecret=pass1\nmtime=1311897928\nctime=0\n\n[2]\nitem-type=0\ndisplay-name=key2\nsecret=pass2\nmtime=1311900380\nctime=0\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Back to the graphical keyring manager. Lock, then unlock the keyring so the changes take effect (right click > lock, right click > unlock). Alternatively you can close and reopen the keyring manager. You should now see all the keys you moved in one keyring.</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/BMJBm.png\" alt=\"two keyrings with keys moved\"></p>\n\n<p>You can now set a password and the keyring files will once again be encrypted.</p>\n",

But every time it needs something while in live desktop it accelerates and makes a lot of noise, also the acceleration takes too long. I want lower drive speed than acceleration lags, because acceleration lags stop me completly exactly when I need something.</p>
<p>How can I lower the CD drive speed, say to maximum 16x, without restarting?
I can't restart because I only use the CD drive, no harddisks, no flash disks, no network disks.</p>
<p>Edit:</p>
<p>No USB drives.</p>
<p>Setcd does not work for the live session.</p>
