13839 | 1 | 13844 | 2010-11-18T14:20:34.557 | 2 | 734 | <p>I have the Bindwood extension for Firefox bookmark syncing through UbuntuOne installed on two of my computers and none of the bookmarks have synced between them. The UbuntuOne wiki has instructions for what to do in this situation: <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/FAQ/WhyArentBookmarksSyncing" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/FAQ/WhyArentBookmarksSyncing</a></p>
<p>I'm worried that those instructions might break my existing UbuntuOne configuration. (It was hard enough to get regular file syncing working properly, so I'd rather not risk breaking anything.) But deleting the password entries for CouchDB and removing <code>~/.config/desktop-couch/desktop-couchdb.ini</code> has me worried.</p>

Changin permission to <code>o-r (640)</code> allows <code>gedit</code> to save files OK. Is there a way to change <code>sshfs</code> connection to make <code>gedit</code> work without <code>chmod</code>ding every file?</p>
<p>(I use -o uid=<code>id -u</code> -o gid=<code>id -g</code>, so that remote files seem to be owned by me)</p>
<pre><code>$ touch test.txt
[!] test.txt appears
$ vi test.txt
[!] :wq -> saves just FINE
$ gedit test.txt
[!] opens fine, but upon save shows "You do not have the
[!] permissions necessary to save the file" error -
[!] CAN'T SAVE
$ vi test.txt
[!] edit, :wq -> again saves just FINE!
$ ls -l test.txt
-rw-r--r-- ..... test.txt
[!] Now the tricky part:
$ chmod o-r test.txt
-rw-r----- ..... test.txt <-- removed 'read' perm. from 'others'
$ gedit test.txt
# WORKS! Saves just fine!
</code></pre>
<p>Why removing read permission from others allows gedit to save? (while vi and the rest doesn't have that problem?)</p>
<p>Is there a way to change sshfs connection string to allow me to edit all files directly on server, without having to chmod o-r them?</p>

<p>I think most of us heard of the Speed Boost kernel patch <a href="http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_2637_video&num=1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Here</a>. My question is how to get that patch on Ubuntu 10.10 ? </p>
<p>Do I have to compile a kernel (which i have never done before and the official Ubuntu documentation is advising against it) ? </p>
<p>Or Should I just wait for few days or weeks and it will be available in Automatic updates ? </p>
<p>Or it's just something that will be available in the future of linux distros ?</p>

<p>I currently have Ubuntu 10.10 installed on my laptop. Configured just the way I like it. Now I need to reinstall everything because I have a need to encrypt my whole hard drive and on Ubuntu, that can only be done using the alternate CD. Question is what would be a good way to reinstall everything including sources and PPA's after encryption?</p>

I want to know how ubuntu users can customize various Gnome desktop features to suite or to make best use of a netbook screen. For example I have deleted the bottom panel, and brought the top panel below, and have made it auto-hide. Also I have made the text size smaller everywhere.</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/lGCc5.jpg" alt="alt text"></p>
<p>I have also customised Firefox like so:</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/5lmIU.jpg" alt="alt text"></p>
<p>I have got rid of status bar, menu bar so on. I feel that the title bar on many applications is not so much useful. So can it be removed, as it is done in google chrome. In opera and chrome the tab bar is very thick, so I am looking for a way to reduce the size. Please post solutions to make optimal use of the netbook screen.</p>

"accepted": true,
"body": "<p>There are several optimisations you can make to preserve screen space on small screens. Having only 1 GNOME panel is definitely an improvement.</p>\n\n<h2>Global Menu Bar</h2>\n\n<p>You can customise your GNOME panel to contain the menu bar for all application windows (except those that don't work with it - the main ones are Firefox and Open Office). Obviously this makes much more sense if the GNOME panel is at the top. </p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/8ZrSG.png\" alt=\"alt text\"></p>\n\n<p>To enable this, install the package: <a href=\"http://packages.ubuntu.com/p/indicator-applet-appmenu\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">indicator-applet-appmenu</a>. Once installed, right click the panel and click 'Add to Panel...' and choose the 'Indicator Applet Appmenu'. One caveat with this is that applications with huge menu bars (such as GIMP) may not fit on the panel at low resolutions. </p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/aQAPv.png\" alt=\"alt text\"></p>\n\n<h2><a href=\"http://packages.ubuntu.com/p/maximus\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">Maximus</a><a href=\"http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/maximus\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\" ></a></h2>\n\n<p>Maximus is software that automatically maximises windows and removes their title bar when maximised. It was designed specifically for netbooks and used to be part of the Ubuntu Netbook Remix. </p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/YZk9M.png\" alt=\"alt text\"></p>\n\n<p>To test it, you can press <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>F2</kbd> then enter <code>maximus</code>. To use it permanently, you will probably prefer to add it to the startup applications (<code>System->Preferences->Startup Applications</code>). </p>\n\n<p>If you ever want to un-maximise a window, you can't use the normal window buttons but you can still use <kbd>Alt</kbd>+click+drag down. The window border will then be re-added to the window.</p>\n\n<p>You can get a similar effect by <a href=\"http://jaket.is-a-geek.com/blog/linux/remove-titlebar-on-maximized-windows-with-compiz\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">configuring compiz so that window decorations disappear when you maximise a window</a>. This is good if you don't want windows to maximise automatically but want to save space once they are maximised.</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/7PDPY.png\" alt=\"alt text\"></p>\n\n<h2><a href=\"http://wiki.go-docky.com/index.php?title=Welcome_to_the_Docky_wiki\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">Docky</a><a href=\"http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/docky\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\"></a></h2>\n\n<p>Docky is a launcher and dock. </p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/84j21.png\" alt=\"alt text\"></p>\n\n<p>Its main advantage in terms of saving screen space is its Intellihide/Window Dodge feature. I find this much better than the autohide of the GNOME panel because it seems that it shows at the right times more. Docky also reduces space by using icons instead of names for windows and grouping windows by application. These are the settings I use:</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/IEQgW.png\" alt=\"alt text\"></p>\n\n<p>These settings can be accessed by clicking the Docky anchor icon, then clicking on the dock to configure. Docky requires compositing to run.

"body": "<p>Original answer:\n<em>The main thing you get for paying for this software is support. Commercial software has better support because of course, you paid, so they have to give you something worth paying for, so to speak. Just a note though, it is not <strong>run</strong> on wine, but rather <strong>based</strong> on WINE, and developed from the same code, with some additions and gui features to make it easier for inexperienced/casual users to install software on WINE with it.\nYou could of course do quite fine without it (I do), or you may require it for the greater support it offers (this depends on your skill level etc).\nOne more thing, paying for such a product as CrossOver Office will support the development of WINE, so it is one of those things where even though you don't <strong>have</strong> to do it, you do it cause it's for a good purpose =).</em></p>\n\n<p>Updated answer:\nIs it worth paying for? Yes, and no. If I'm very honest here, it is worth it if you want to help the development of WINE, and it is worth it if you need the support. Yet, (see below) there are alternatives, as always.</p>\n\n<p>In response to your comment:\nYou can try various tools for running applications that don't run well out of the box with WINE, for free.\nThe best in my personal opinion (and most maintained) is <a href=\"http://www.playonlinux.com/en/\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">PlayOnLinux</a>.</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/1m6J2.png\" alt=\"Playonlinux main window\">\nPlayOnLinux main window.</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/yqMFd.png\" alt=\"alt text\">\nPlayOnLinux install window.</p>\n\n<p>You will find a pretty simple gui for installing many different applications on wine (mostly games, unfortunately). If you can't find an application in that list, then you can check the playonlinux forum, and see if there is a script download for it. If you need further, direct assistance, there are several places you can go, including <a href=\"http://winehq.org\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">winehq</a>, where you will find a good support forum, ubuntuforums.org, or even here, AskUbuntu.</p>\n",

The package 'update-manager-kde' is marked for removal but it is in
the removal blacklist.
This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the
'update-manager' package and include the files in
/var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report.

<p>*I'm located inside of USC, and for some crazy reason any sustained downloads to anywhere outside of the University are throttled down to 5kbps inside of my lab. Because of this I need to use the following sources.list:</p>
<pre><code>deb http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/ubuntu/ lucid-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/ubuntu/ lucid-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/ubuntu/ lucid-security main restricted universe multiverse
</code></pre>
<p>I've tried adding four more entries to the sources.list with <code>s/lucid/maverick/</code> but that didn't help.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!</p>

that involves no kernel upgrade.</p>
<p>It is presented <a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/alternative-to-200-lines-kernel-patch.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> and discussed <a href="http://linux.slashdot.org/story/10/11/18/2246213/Alternative-To-the-200-Line-Linux-Kernel-Patch?from=rss&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+Slashdot/slashdotLinux+(Slashdot:+Linux)" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.</p>
<p>However, I am not sure if webupd8's solution (under the
section "Use it in Ubuntu") on Ubuntu actually works or not. In particular, one
commenter on ./ is saying he's getting an error message. Could anyone
post the "correct" method that actually works?</p>
<h2>Suggested solution:</h2>
<p>Based on the comments I've read so far, the following seems to work.</p>
<p>(1) In <code>/etc/rc.local</code>, add the following lines to above <code>exit 0</code>:</p>
<pre><code>mkdir -p /dev/cgroup/cpu
mount -t cgroup cgroup /dev/cgroup/cpu -o cpu
mkdir -m 0777 /dev/cgroup/cpu/user
echo "/usr/local/sbin/cgroup_clean" > /dev/cgroup/cpu/release_agent
</code></pre>
<p>(2) Create a file named <code>/usr/local/sbin/cgroup_clean</code> with the following content:</p>
<pre><code>#!/bin/sh
rmdir /dev/cgroup/cpu/$1
</code></pre>
<p>(3) In your <code>~/.bashrc</code>, add:</p>
<pre><code>if [ "$PS1" ] ; then
mkdir -m 0700 /dev/cgroup/cpu/user/$$
echo $$ > /dev/cgroup/cpu/user/$$/tasks
echo "1" > /dev/cgroup/cpu/user/$$/notify_on_release
fi
</code></pre>
<p>(4) (To make sure the execution bit is on) execute</p>
<pre><code>sudo chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/cgroup_clean /etc/rc.local
</code></pre>
<p>(5) Reboot.</p>

Unfortunately, when the last child cgroup of \"user\" was removed (by the release_agent), that folder would also be removed, leading to the error messages reported. A simple workaround is to enable notify_on_release for each cgroup individually at creation, keeping the parents setting disabled.</p>\n\n<p>Hope that was easy to follow!</p>\n\n<p>Edit: I'd have posted this as a comment to the actual answer, though it's seems I don't have enough reputation to do so (yet).</p>\n",

<p>There are no messages marked after 23:39. When I next tried to use the machine, it would not return from the screensaver (blank screen), nor switch to another terminal, and I had to hard reboot it.</p>
<p>[UPDATE] The output of <code>smartctl</code> is <a href="http://pastebin.ca/1996348" rel="noreferrer">here</a>. I had trouble getting this, because <code>/</code> is being mounted read-only (?!), which prevents most applications from running.</p>
<p>Also, it may not be related, but I have the following worrying messages in <code>dmesg</code>:</p>

<p>[UPDATE 2] I swapped in a new SATA cable, per Phil's suggestion. The current output of smartctl is <a href="http://pastebin.ca/1997388" rel="noreferrer">here</a>, if it helps.</p>

13981 | 1 | 35584 | 2010-11-19T09:47:17.800 | 5 | 5132 | <p>Yesterday, one hdd of my LVM crashed (smart-error)<br>
<br>
The Machine has the following setup:<br>
- 4 hdds<br>
- 1 Partition Raid10 (System, 4*50GB)<br>
- 1 Partition normal (/boot, 200MB, sda)<br>
- 1 Partition LVM2 (Data, 4*~850GB)<br>
- Ubuntu 10.04 Server (headless)<br>
<br>
Now my lvm won't mount anymore, Ubuntu asks me to skip or manually recover on bootup. When I press S the system starts, but without my lvm getting mounted.<br>
<br>
Now my system partition does not seam to be affected (/proc/mdstat looks as usual) an /boot works fine, too.<br>
<br>
What I will try now is to <br>
- buy a new hdd<br>
- Integrate the hdd in my lvm<br>
- Try to remove the sda-part of the lvm (copy it over to the new sde, or whatever lvm wants)<br>
- Do the raid stuff (I think I'll find out how to do that, otherwise I'll ask a separate question)<br>
<br>
Now my problems:<br>
- How can I remove sda from the lvm (remove meaning copy contents and mark partition as not in use so I can unplug the drive)?<br>
- If I am not able to remove the partition normally, are there any tools to recover the files on this partition, so I could manually copy them to the "new" lvm?<br>
<br>
Thank you for your help<br>
<br>

<p>The first is with locales.
In my system I have defined:</p>
<pre><code>$ cat /etc/environment
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
LANG="es_ES.UTF-8"
LANGUAGE="es_ES:es:en_US:en"

$ cat /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local
es_ES UTF-8
es_ES.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US UTF-8
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
</code></pre>
<p>But when I enter in gnome desktop:</p>
<pre><code>$ locale
LANG=es_ES
LANGUAGE=es_ES:es:en_US:en
LC_CTYPE="es_ES"
LC_NUMERIC="es_ES"

LC_ADDRESS="es_ES"
LC_TELEPHONE="es_ES"
LC_MEASUREMENT="es_ES"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="es_ES"
LC_ALL=
</code></pre>
<p>I have deleted ~/.dmrc and I have restarted the system but nothing.<br>
GDM login screen also doesn't permit change this setting. </p>
<p>However, in the text terminals (<em>tty1,...</em>):</p>
<pre><code>$ locale
LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=es_ES:es:en_US:en
LC_CTYPE="es_ES.UTF-8"

LC_MEASUREMENT="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="es_ES.UTF-8"

</code></pre>
<p>The solution to problem is to edit .drmc file, but I think this isn't the right way. </p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Why doesn't GDM read/apply the system locales?<br> Why don't I see,
in GDM login screen, the box to change
the locale?</strong></p>

<p>When I suspend my laptop, normally the power button keeps blinking, and then it should resume, in my case it won't, it seems as it's about to resume, then the laptop shuts down, then suddenly powers up, but with nothing. The screen stays black, and the HDD indicator won't blink.</p>
<p>I've a MSI VR601 laptop:
- Intel Pentium Dual CPU T2370 (1.73 GHz)
- 2 Gigabytes of RAM
- 160 Gigabytes HDD
- Intel Integrated Graphics (GM965)</p>
<p>I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 (GNOME, kernel 2.6.35-22), suspending never worked for me to be honest, on any Ubuntu edition, it just never worked. I once tried OpenSuse (KDE) and it worked flawlessly, but I'm an Ubuntu fan I can't swtich to anything else in the mean time. </p>
<p>I tried to install the s2ram thing, but when I try to run it, it says unsupported hardware.</p>
<p>I beg you to help me through this, I'm sick & tired of this issue.</p>
<p>Thanking you in advance.</p>

When\n I log in, my wireless card isn't visible in the Network Manager popup menu, \n although the wired network shows up there.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>or</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n <p>I have Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook edition on my System76 laptop.

This will include all the expansion cards (Video cards, WiFi, etc) in your system, whether or not the kernel has a driver for them. This information is useful if you're not sure precisely what hardware you have.</li>\n<li><code>lsusb</code> will list all the USB devices connected to your system. Again, this is useful if you're not sure precisely what hardware you have. It's also useful to check that the device is actually plugged in correctly!</li>\n<li><code>/var/log/udev</code> and <code>/var/log/dmesg</code> will have information about what devices the kernel has detected. These logs are generally very big - unless you know what parts of the log are interesting it's not a good idea to include these in your question, although a link to them could be useful (you can use <a href=\"http://paste.ubuntu.com\" rel=\"noreferrer\">http://paste.ubuntu.com</a> for large logs)</li>\n<li><code>sudo lshw --class X</code> pr <code>sudo lshw -C X</code> can also give a bit of valuable hardware info on the specifed class <code>X</code> - examples classes include <code>cdrom</code>, <code>communication</code>, <code>core</code>, <code>cpu</code>, <code>display</code>, <code>isa</code>, <code>medium</code>, <code>memory</code>, <code>multimedia</code>, <code>network</code>, <code>pci</code>, <code>scsi</code>, <code>serial</code>, <code>storage</code> and <code>usb</code> - so for instance you can use <code>sudo lshw -C network</code> to show info on the network cards the computer can detect.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>For <strong>Video</strong> problems:</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><code>/var/log/Xorg.0.log</code> is the X server log file. This is useful for all video problems. This file can get long so feel free to just put it on <a href=\"http://paste.ubuntu.com\" rel=\"noreferrer\">http://paste.ubuntu.com</a>. Be sure to give a link to your \"paste\" so we can find it when we need to.</li>\n<li><code>LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo</code> will display information about 3D acceleration support, useful for problems with 3D or desktop effects.</li>\n<li><code>lspci -nn | grep VGA</code> will list all the video cards in your system, useful if you are not sure what type of video card you have.</li>\n<li><code>/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p</code> should be used for compiz and other Unity compatability issues.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>For <strong>Audio</strong> problems:</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><code>cat /proc/asound/cards</code> will list the audio devices that have been detected. You should include this.</li>\n<li><code>cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0</code> will contain information about the first sound card, including information about the input/output ports connected to it. If you have a problem with plugging in a microphone, headsets, or external speakers, include this. You may also have more than one sound device. In that case, there will be more than one <code>/proc/asound/card???</code> directory.</li>\n<li>Wiki: <a href=\"https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Debugging Sound Problems</a></li>\n</ul>\n",

<p>I expect to use 64-bit Ubuntu on this rig, but in the past it's proven tricky to find whether or not all the on-board goodies work on Linux.</p>
<p>Can you suggest a motherboard that you know works fine? I'd like the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Suspend definitely has to work - I've been stuck with non working suspend for way too long (on an Intel D865PERL).</li>
<li>I expect to use integrated sound, and would very much like support for front panel audio (in particular, I want rear-connected speakers to go mute when plugging in headphones in the front panel, we're in 2010 after all).</li>
<li>an eSATA port.</li>
<li>Ethernet would be nice. I could plug in a PCI Ethernet card, so this is not a must.</li>
<li>SATA 3 & USB 3 for future upgrades ("support will be in kernel in 3 months" is OK, I'm not planning to use either right away).</li>
</ul>
<p>I am considering this one: <a href="http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3423#sp" rel="nofollow">Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3</a> What do you think? Sound is ALC892, Ethernet is Realtek 8111D. </p>
<p>Any other options? I can use mATX as well as ATX, but if I have to use a PCI Ethernet card then I would prefer ATX to keep some ports available.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I click on the network icon in places, then I can see the <code>Windows Network</code> option, but when I click on it, I get the message:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Failed to retrieve share list from server</p>

<p>I've tried to install Samba (<code>sudo apt-get install samba</code>) and I've also installed SBMFS. I've set the workgroup in <code>/etc/samba/smb.conf</code> to WORKGROUP - the same as the other Windows computers on the network. As far as I'm aware, I should now be able to get access to the shared folders on the Windows 7 computers, but no luck; I can't even get past the 'Windows Network' icon.</p>
<p>When I check the list of processes in the system monitor, there's no sign of anything called Samba or SMB. When I go to start S via <code>/etc/init.d/samba start</code>, I get the message</p>
<blockquote>
<p>command not found</p>

<p>As regards the network architecture, it's a simple home network running through a router, I don't know if it will make a difference, but the router is a D-Link DIR-615. Windows machines can share files without any problems.</p>

<p>So I asked for permission to set up a small group of computers for the others to try, mostly for smaller school tasks, or random internet surfing.</p>
<p>So far they've let me set up 4 computers, and I would like to manage all the computers from a single computer which should also work as the "picture" for the other computers.</p>
<p>i need software to manage this, as mentioned below is VNC as an opportunity, but what i get from reading about it is that this kind of soft ware is just sharing a screen (which is hopefully wrong)</p>

But none the less, you can do it and see if if you gain anything.</p>\n\n<p>Since I first answered this question, I've <em>tried out</em> so to speak, my solution of buying an SSD (at Jorge Catro's recommendation). And it's made my machine boot in 11 seconds. I want to stress again, even the cheapest 16gb ssd will (probably) do this (and 16 gigabytes are more than enough for <code>/</code>, if you have <code>/home</code> on a different drive).</p>\n\n<p>To see what processes are taking the most time (be it I/O or CPU bound), open a Terminal via <em>Applications → Accessories → Terminal</em> and type</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo apt-get install bootchart\nsudo update-initramfs -u -k $(uname -r) \n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Then reboot, afterwards, open a file browser and navigate to <code>/var/log/bootchart/</code>, you should see a png image, showing you what processes are problematic.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/Fe1u0.png\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">Here's mine</a></p>\n\n<p>As you can see, there isn't much blue (CPU Utilisation) in it. And I only have a single core on this machine. The most CPU is spent on mutter (this is ubuntu-netbook-edition), the ubuntu single sign-on service for Ubuntu One and launching Unity (about a second altogether). On a normal Ubuntu Desktop installation, those would not count towards your boot time, it'd stop after GDM (the login screen) is launched. On <a href=\"http://polishlinux.org/reviews/architektura_windows_linux/bootchart.png\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">This</a> old bootchart I found somewhere on the internet, you can clearly see the improvements Canonical have made to the boot-process. This boot takes 1:15 and the time it doesn't wait for the disk, it spends basically sleeping.</p>\n\n<p>At 30 seconds, your system is booting very fast indeed. I'd have expected 50-70.</p>\n",

14168 | 1 | 14292 | 2010-11-20T13:23:26.900 | 15 | 15031 | <p>I have a CD with Ubuntu 10.10 and a laptop with Ubuntu 8.10. The laptop had all sorts of crud on it, and anything I wanted to keep was backed up on an external drive, so I was happy to do a wipe and reinstall instead of an update. So after a bit of faffing about trying to work out how to get the thing to boot from the CD drive, I did that.</p>
<p>So the screen comes up with the choice: the options are <strong>Try Ubuntu</strong> and <strong>Install Ubuntu</strong>. I choose to install and to overwrite my current installation. So far so good. I then get a progress bar labelled something like <strong>copying files</strong> (I forget the exact wording) and further options to fill in for my location, keyboard locale, username and password. On each of these screens there are forward and back buttons. On the last screen (password), the <strong>forward</strong> button is greyed out. Well, I think to myself, no doubt it will become active when that copying files progress bar completes.</p>
<p>The progress bar never completes. It hangs. And the label changes from <em>copying files</em> to the chirpy <em>ready when you are</em>. The forward button remains greyed out. The back button is as unhelpful as you'd expect it to be. And there's nothing else to click. We have reached an impasse.</p>
<p>I tried restarting the laptop, to test whether it actually was properly installed. It wasn't. I tried to run Ubuntu live from the CD, to test whether the disk was damaged. That wouldn't work either, but I suspect it's just because the laptop is old and has a slow disk drive. I'm typing this question on another computer using the Ubuntu live CD and it's working fine. So there's nothing wrong with the CD.</p>

<p>However, I was under the impression that apturl was supposed to launch <em>Software Center</em>. How can I configure what application apturl is launched with - and is the above screenshot expected actions for 10.10?</p>

14197 | 1 | 14199 | 2010-11-20T18:02:41.087 | 9 | 6287 | <p>When I double click on a video file in Gnome Commander, for some reason it opens in Movie Player (Totem?) instead of VLC, which is set as preferred for all file types. Clicking on the same file from Nautilus opens the file in VLC.</p>
<p>Is there a way to force Gnome Commander to use "standard" gnome mime-type associations?</p>
<p><strong>Update</strong>:</p>
<p>Following iamsid's answer below, this is what I did:</p>
<p>Edit the file <code>~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list</code> (if the file does not exist, create it), and add the following:</p>
<pre><code>[Default Applications]
video/x-msvideo=vlc.desktop
video/x-flv=vlc.desktop
video/mp2t=vlc.desktop
video/mp4=vlc.desktop
video/mpeg=vlc.desktop
video/ogg=vlc.desktop
video/x-theora+ogg=vlc.desktop
video/x-ms-wmv=vlc.desktop
</code></pre>
<p>You can of course add other mime types as needed. To see a file's mime type, you can right-click on a file in Gnome Commander, go to properties and then the Metadata tab. Expand the "file" item and you will see the mime type under "Format" tag.</p>
<p><code>vlc.desktop</code> already exists in <code>/local/share/applications</code>, so you can use that, I used a custom .desktop file in my <code>~/local/share/applications</code> folder, but found out it's not necessary.</p>
