<p>Back before the easy addition of Launchpad PPAs, many of us used to customize our sources list to include user/3rd party repositories. Some ambitious Ubuntu'ers would even maintain updated lists on their websites. It was the easiest way to install software for things like Google Earth in the earlier days.</p>
<p>So the question I am asking may prove useful for the newcomers and for the experienced.</p>
<p>What other repositories (like Medibuntu) have you found useful for 10.10 (other than PPAs)?</p>

12759 | 1 | 12765 | 2010-11-11T23:13:21.667 | 4 | 5021 | <p>I just picked up one of those fancy Dell U2711 27" screens that has a maximum resolution of 2560x1440. While I await delivery, I need to upgrade my graphics card to drive this baby as my current one won't do the trick.</p>
<p>I am considering an EVGA with an nVidia GTS450 chip and dual DVI-I ports. It can go up to 2560x1600 in DVI-D mode with the corresponding dual link cable.</p>
<p>Should I expect any driver issues with this setup and the nVidia binary drivers? I have googled quite a bit and most people I found claiming problems with these resolutions are using notebooks (so either VGA or HDMI, that I don't think should work).</p>
<p><strong>Edit</strong>: Is it possible alhough all the components are good up to 2560x1600, that they won't allow me to set 2560x1440? I've had this happen with some widescreen LCDs in the past where a video card would go up to a higher resolution, but the exact mode needed was not an option (resolutions such 1152x... come to mind).</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion</strong>: Indeed, everything worked out of the box with the nVidia binary drivers in Meerkat. Just for future reference, I ended up using a GTX460 card with a dual-link DVI-D cable. Thanks!</p>

When I createa a custom action in the keyboard shortcuts menu, and I activate the command (using ctrl-prnscr) the command fires up but behaves as though the <code>--area</code> option isn't there (it grabs the whole screen instead of giving me a cursor to choose with). If I run <code>ps -eaf |grep screen</code> I get:</p>

12900 | 1 | 12904 | 2010-11-12T18:06:31.047 | 6 | 764 | <p>I upgraded my ubuntu karmic to lucid a few months ago.

<p>That's why I cannot launch a terminal window and <em>top</em> or <em>iostat</em> just in time to see what happens. When it prompts it's too late. </p>
<p>I tried to delimit the problem uninstalling <em>zeitgeist</em>, <em>docky</em> or whatever program I thought was behind that behaviour. I even deleted my <em>Private</em> encrypted folder to avoid decryption issues. Nothing changed. </p>
<p>Any idea about how to proceed? Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>When there are updates to install, I can double click it and hit the 'install updates' button. There is a brief progress bar, and then nothing happens. I can right click the red circle and click 'insall all updates', and then it says its "marking" the updates à la synaptic package manager, and subsequently installs them.</p>
<p>The circle won't go away and it's just annoying. I'm not sure how it would be related, but since this started, I havn't been able to open ubuntu software centre. When I go applications> ubuntu software centre, my cursor just turns into the loading one for a few seconds, then nothing happens.</p>

For example, along with the laptop battery, listing the battery level for an iPod being charged over USB. I understand the <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BatteryStatusMenu" rel="nofollow">specification</a> mentions that, too, but I definitely haven't seen it with any of my various devices that have batteries in them.</p>
<p>So, does that feature truly exist right now? Any information on what hardware is supported and whether that support can expand in the future? Anything people can do to help? :)</p>

<p>Were there UDS sessions? A thread on the mailing list?

It also means your GDM will have the same resolution as your desktop's.</p>\n\n<p>First find out which resolution your display can take and what its name is. In the following example my laptop display is LVDS-1 and its rated resolution is 1280x800:</p>\n\n<pre><code>$ xrandr -q\nScreen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 800, maximum 4096 x 4096\nLVDS-1 connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm\n 1280x800 60.1 +\n 1024x768 59.9* \n 800x600 59.9 \n 640x480 59.4 \n 720x400 59.6 \n 640x400 60.0 \n 640x350 59.8 \nVGA-1 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)\n 1024x768 60.0 \n 800x600 60.3 56.2 \n 848x480 60.0 \n 640x480 59.9 \nTV-1 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)\n 720x576 50.0 +\n 1024x768 50.0 \n 800x600 50.0 \n 720x480 50.0 \n 640x480 50.0 \n 400x300 100.0 \n 320x240 100.0 \n 320x200 100.0 \n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Note in the above output the resolution currently used is marked by an asterisk (*). Next you want to test if such resolution works and find the right command to set it up:</p>\n\n<pre><code>xrandr --output LVDS-1 --mode 800x600x32\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>In the above command you can change the depth (32 bit) for 24.</p>\n\n<p>Next you want to add such command to the <strong>/etc/gdm/Init/Default</strong> file before <strong>/sbin/initctl ...</strong> [1]. The beginning of such file will look like this:</p>\n\n<pre><code>#!/bin/sh\n# Stolen from the debian kdm setup, aren't I sneaky\n# Plus a lot of fun stuff added\n# -George\n\nPATH=\"/usr/bin:$PATH\"\nOLD_IFS=$IFS\n\n#if [ -x '/usr/bin/xsplash' ];\n#then\n# /usr/bin/xsplash --gdm-session --daemon\n#fi\n\nxrandr --output LVDS-1 --mode 800x600x32\n/sbin/initctl -q emit login-session-start DISPLAY_MANAGER=gdm\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Once you've done this you can logout to see the results. I tested this in a VM environment only but it should work on a standard install (\"bare metal\").</p>\n\n<p>[1] <a href=\"https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Setting%20xrandr%20commands%20in%20kdm/gdm%20startup%20scripts\">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Setting%20xrandr%20commands%20in%20kdm/gdm%20startup%20scripts</a></p>\n",

<p>The first two (<em>TZ01</em> and <em>temp1</em>) always give exactly the same reading (usually 50°C/122°F); however, <em>TZ01</em> properties says that 60°C is a high value, while <em>temp1</em> properties says that 90°C is a high value. <strong>I'm assuming they're both the CPU, but which one has the correct high value?</strong></p>
<p>Furthermore, I still don't know what the other two are about. They always report similar (but not identical) temperature levels (usually around 15-17°C/58-64°F). <strong>What are they?</strong></p>

13013 | 1 | 13405 | 2010-11-13T14:41:51.530 | 1 | 1778 | <p>My goal is to have Ubuntu start and stop a headless virtualbox VM gracefully when I start and stop my host machine(Ubuntu 10.04).</p>
<p>I'm using a <a href="http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dgptztxf_28fwksg4cw" rel="nofollow"> script </a> provided by <a href="http://quadirspace.blogspot.com/2009/05/virtualbox-service-for-ubuntu-linux.html" rel="nofollow">Quadir Kareemullah's page</a>.</p>
<p>This is the LSB comment header from the script (I eliminted vboxnet from "Required-Start" to reduce dependencies): </p>
<pre><code>### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: vboxsvc
# Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs vboxdrv
# Required-Stop: $local_fs $remote_fs
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: S 0 1 6
# Short-Description: VirtualBox Service
# Description: VirtualBox Service to startup and shutdown Virtual Machines
### END INIT INFO
</code></pre>
<p>As explained by Quadir I located the 'vboxsvc' in /etc/init.d/ and executed:</p>
<pre><code>$sudo update-rc.d vboxsvc
</code></pre>
<p>This created the links for the runlevels. For example in the runlevel 2:</p>
<pre><code>$ls -l /etc/rc2.d/
...
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2010-11-03 20:02 S20vboxdrv -> ../init.d/vboxdrv
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2010-11-03 20:03 S20vboxweb-service -> ../init.d/vboxweb-service
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2010-11-11 21:43 S21vboxsvc -> ../init.d/vboxsvc
...
</code></pre>
<p>If I start|stop the service manually:</p>
<pre><code>$sudo /etc/init.d/vboxsvx start
</code></pre>
<p>it works as expected.</p>
<p>The service doesn't appear listed if I do "service --status-all", but it shows up when I use sysv-rc-conf --list.</p>
<p>It doesn't start automatically when I boot the computer. On the other hand, the service stops automatically when I reboot or shutdown. For some reason when the system boots the link /etc/rc2.d/S21vboxnet is not being executed or something else is happening. </p>
<p>I know that Upstart is the way to do things now in Ubuntu, but SysV init is still supported, right?</p>
<p><strong>EDIT:</strong> I think I'm close to solving the problem. I think that the solution has to do with having my home file system encrypted. When the init process is executing the corresponding startup scripts and tries to execute "sudo -H -u myuser VBoxManage myVirtualMachine -type vrdp > /dev/null" it doesn't have access to myVirtualMachine's data(which is at an encrypted file system) because I haven't logged in as myuser yet and, therefore, my home filesystem hasn't been mounted.</p>

13015 | 1 | 13019 | 2010-11-13T14:59:38.917 | 11 | 32389 | <p>I type a lot in Spanish and have a regular 105-key International Keyboard. So I have NO buttons for ñ or other accented letters. However, by setting the keyboard to "US Alternative International" I can easily type many accented letters. Just ' + e = é for instance. This is just like Windows. However, there I was able to type:</p>
<pre><code>SHIFT + 1 = !
SHIFT + CTRL + 1 = ¡
SHIFT + / = ?
SHIFT + CTRL + / = ¿
</code></pre>
<p>Very convenient. But I have not been able to find a way to configure this in Ubuntu. I have to go to some site that has these symbols, and then copy-paste. Very inconvenient. Anybody any idea?</p>

13020 | 1 | 13023 | 2010-11-13T15:29:53.267 | 3 | 2350 | <p>after my install on Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat on my iBook, I have noticed that used keyboard layout is a PC one, and not Mac one. Let me explain it more clearly :</p>
<p>As an example, Mac keyboard defines a physical key for the <code>-</code> (which sup character is <code>_</code>). When pressing this key, the character appearing on screen is <code>=</code>, as this key is binded using a Windows/Linux physical keyboard. To terminate with that example, for displaying the <code>-</code> character, I have to press the key displaying the 6 number (which on Mac should normally print <code>$</code>).</p>
<p>If I take a look at my configuration, the keyboard properties says (in its layout pane)</p>
<ul>
<li>language "other french"</li>
<li>keyboard type "laptop mac"</li>
</ul>
<p>What do I have to change to obtain the same key on screen than the one I have on keyboard ?</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE</strong> It's an iBook G4 1.33 GHz (M9846LL/A: (Retail $999) 1.33 GHz; 12 in display; 40 GB hard disk; slot-load combo drive (DVD-ROM/CD-RW) - thanks, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBook#Models_3" rel="nofollow">wikipedia</a>) with a french localized keyboard.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

A similar Emacs command is <code>C-x 8 RET</code> (<a href=\"http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Inserting-Text.html\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\"><code>ucs-insert</code></a>; if you use it often, you may want to bind it to a shorter key sequence), which can be followed by a hexadecimal code point or the name of a unicode character, with completion.</p>\n\n<p>Emacs has its <a href=\"http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Select-Input-Method.html\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">own set of input methods</a>, and can also use system input methods such as <a href=\"http://uim.freedesktop.org/\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">UIM</a> (install <a href=\"http://packages.ubuntu.com/uim-el\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\"><code>uim-el</code></a>. <a href=\"http://code.google.com/p/ibus/\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">IBus</a> support is relatively new; you need <a href=\"https://launchpad.net/ibus.el\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\"><code>ibus.el</code></a>, which isn't in Lucid and I think not in Maverick either; see also <a href=\"http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/IBusMode\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">IBus on the Emacs wiki</a>.</p>\n",

13027 | 1 | null | 2010-11-13T16:53:57.553 | 4 | 3560 | <p>I have a IBM-Lenovo Thinkpad T500. I was previously a exclusive windows user, but recently installed ubuntu and loving it because of speed and interface. The only thing is that I don't get some features that I came to enjoy in windows. I need help setting these up:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Hard-drive protection - active protection software that pauses drive when there is movement</p></li>
<li><p>My printer doesn't work (can't find the driver for this one): canon Ip2600</p></li>
<li><p>A way to change which graphics chip to use while in OS. I have both the integrated and non integrated (dual-graphics). (If not easy to setup, I know there's a way to do it before it boots, but don't know how).</p></li>
<li><p>CPU performance level - in windows you can pick "high performance", "power saver", etc.. to save batteries.</p></li>
<li><p>My integrated camera w/light - it works but need an app where I can record videos, take snapshots, etc. can't find one that works.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks!</p>

Just tried a old CD with Ubuntu 8.04 and this boots, :( so is this related just to Kubuntu? don't both use the same boot loader? or maybe 10.10 uses a newer version of the boot loader that has issues...?</p>

<p>But when I open a new shell and write <code>echo $PROFILE_EXEC_TIMES</code>, all I get is <code>1</code>. <code>$PROFILE_EXEC_TIMES</code> must be at least 2. <a href="http://speeves.erikin.com/2008/05/bash-export-environment-variable-to.html" rel="nofollow">I suspect</a> that <code>~/.profile</code> isn't sourced by bash... if so, what I need to do in order to check how many times <code>~/.profile</code> is executed?</p>
<hr>
<p><strong>Edit:</strong><br>
I've noticed that <code>/etc/gdm/Xsession</code> is sourcing <code>~/.profile</code> by the following line:</p>
<pre><code>test -f "$HOME/.profile" && . "$HOME/.profile"
</code></pre>
<p>and <code>~/.bashrc</code> is sourced in <code>~/.profile</code> by the following lines:</p>
<pre><code># if running bash
if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then
# include .bashrc if it exists
if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then
. "$HOME/.bashrc"
fi
fi
</code></pre>
<p>Also, I've add the following line to <code>~/.bashrc</code> & <code>~/.profile</code>:</p>
<pre><code>echo $(cd ${0%/*} && echo $PWD/${0##*/}) >> /home/myUserName/a
</code></pre>
<p>and could see that only one line was added to the file after I logged in to my user. </p>
<p>I want to emphasize that my goal here is:<br>
<strong>Finding out how many times <code>~/.profile</code> is executed when user logs in.</strong></p>
<p>Additional details:</p>

13092 | 1 | 13339 | 2010-11-13T21:57:32.140 | 2 | 869 | <p>I have so far been using Skype to do conference calls on Ubuntu Maverick. I want to stop using Skype because the client looks pretty bad (or has a number of minor bugs) in the default Ubuntu theme (e.g. menu items don't display unless you point at them), and it seems to use up a lot of my CPU while audio calling.</p>
<p>Are there any audio conferencing (i.e. 2-10 people in a call simultaneously) tools that are FOSS and work quite well in Ubuntu?</p>
<p>EDIT:</p>
<p><strong>Some additional requirements:</strong><br>
1) I want to have minimal setup and use open protocols if possible.<br>
2) I need a s/w feature to record the call (I'm planning to make podcasts).<br>
3) Cross platform - The people I call may be on a difference OS, so a suitable client should be available for their system too (Win/Mac).</p>

13103 | 1 | null | 2010-11-13T22:44:30.497 | 5 | 1315 | <p>I have the issue that sometimes when I burn an iso image to a CD-R with:</p>
<pre><code>sudo wodim -v driveropts=burnfree -data dev=/dev/scd0 input.iso
</code></pre>
<p>And then read it back out again with:</p>
<pre><code>sudo dd if=/dev/cdrom of=output.iso
dd: reading `/dev/cdrom': Input/output error
...
</code></pre>
<p>That I end up with two iso images that are not identical, namely the <code>output.iso</code> is missing 2048 bytes at the end. When I however mount the iso image or CD-R and compare the actual files on the mountpoint, both are identical.</p>
<p>Is that expected behavior or is that an actually incorrect burn of the data? And if its expected, how can I verify that the burn process was successful?</p>
<p>The reason why I ask in the first place is that it seems to be reproducible behavior, certain iso images come out 2048 bytes short, even on repeated burns, but all burned CD-Rs are under themselves identical.</p>
<p>Also what is the reason behind the:</p>
<pre><code>dd: reading `/dev/cdrom': Input/output error
</code></pre>
<p>As it happens always, I assume it is normal, but what is the technical reason behind it? I assume CDs don't allow the device to detect the size directly, so <code>dd</code> reads till it encounters the end the hard way.</p>
<p><strong>Edit:</strong> User karol on superusers.com mentioned that both the size issue and the read error are the result of using <code>-tao</code> (default) in wodim instead of <code>-dao</code> mode. I couldn't yet test it, but it sounds like the most plausible explanation so far.</p>
