<p>Since then my computer is running very slow. I restarted my computer enough times to have the system file checks be done during some boots: no change.</p>
<p>As a consequence I analyzed my <code>/home/</code> folder using Baobab. It indicates my home is full up to 75%. Nearly the half of it is occupied by <code>/home/.ecryptfs/</code>, the other half by <code>/home/grandoxymore/</code>. They both share precisely the same tree structure.</p>

<p>Before my tries, there were Win98, what perfectly(lol) worked with this config.</p>
<p>With <strong>Ubuntu 10.04 alternate CD</strong>, I didn't think, that it can be installed with graphical interface. </p>
<p>I thought about LVM .. but no, I thought this is too slow processor. To the primary master(hda, 3GB) I put <code>/boot</code> with ext4, after Grub </p>
<p><code>error: unknown filesystem ext3</code>; and swap for the other free space.
To the primary slave(hdb, 10GB), I put <code>/</code> with ext4.</p>
<p>I've installed GRUB2 to MBR. It always showed me some error, and <code>grub rescue></code> prompt. Finally I've learnt use that, and I tried to <em>set prefix...</em>, <em>ls</em>, <em>insmod (hd0,1)/boot/grub/...</em>. That last command always shows me <em>error: unknown filesystem</em>.</p>
<p>How may I partition this? The installion gets no errors, the <code>/boot</code> is filled with data files(linux images, etc.).</p>
<p>Is there any other suggestion to get on with old systems?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<ol>
<li>NTFS - Primary windows vista</li>
<li>Extended - 3 Nos. all NTFS - middle one contains data</li>
<li>Unallocated space</li>
<li>NTFS - Primary</li>
<li>NTFS - Primary HP Recovery</li>
</ol>
<p>My intention is to add unallocated space to the extended partition. Will I be able to use Gparted to do it?</p>
<p>Also, can I install Ubuntu in one of the extended partitions and make this unallocated partition the home partition for Ubuntu. I am not able to add new partition in this unallocated space as disk manager in vista throws up an error no free disk space to complete the operation. I read in some forum that OEM installations allow only 3 primary partitions and one extended or 4 primary ones. Is it true for OEM's only or its a universal rule?</p>

<p>In a script, I start <strong>soffice</strong>; to convert an <strong>odt</strong> to a <strong>pdf</strong> </p>
<p>It seems that <em>soffice</em> detaches itself from the script's process, and wanders off to do its own thing.. Okay, that's fine; GUI apps tend to do that ... </p>
<p>However I need to wait until the new <em>pdf</em> has been fully written, as my next step involves processing that new <em>pdf</em>. </p>
<p>(As far as I know) I can't utilize soffice's process-ID, because it may have already been a running process before my script started: eg. <em>soffice</em> may be already open for normal GUI activity for another unrelated document/presentation/spreadsheet. </p>
<p>The crux of the matter for me is that before I can proceed, the writing of the new <em>pdf</em> must be finalized... </p>
<p>Is there some way to determine when a file is <strong>no longer</strong> open to another process in "write" mode? ... </p>

14257 | 1 | 37100 | 2010-11-21T06:40:23.180 | 29 | 28190 | <p>I'm looking for a simple countdown timer application, something similar to <a href="http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=timer-applet&suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names" rel="nofollow noreferrer">timer-applet</a>, which appears to be deprecated. (It's in the repositories but when I tried to install it there were dependency issues with gnome-audio and it hosed my system.)</p>
<p>My ideal app would have the following features:</p>
<ul>
<li>is lightweight and fast (starts up fast and doesn't use a lot of system resources)</li>
<li>has functionality for user-defined presets for commonly used times (like for using the 10+2 work method)</li>
<li>plays a sound and displays a notification when the time set is reached.</li>
<li>is a native GNOME app & not a webapp</li>
<li>is an indicator applet</li>
</ul>
<p>Note: I am looking for a countdown timer app, not a timetracking app.</p>

<p>I've done some searching and tried using:</p>
<pre><code>dpkg --get-selections

<p>And:</p>
<pre><code>aptitude search '~i!~E' | grep -v "i A" | cut -d " " -f 4
</code></pre>
<p>To get a list of packages I want installed on the 9.10 machine.</p>
<p>The problem is that trying to install the humongous list of packages on the 10.04 machine causes severe dependency problems, and <code>aptitude</code> nearly refuses to install them.</p>
<p>Is there a way to get only the distribution-independent packages from the 9.10 machine, i.e. only the packages that will be installed on the 10.04 without problems?</p>
<p>Any ideas?</p>

<ul>
<li>nm-applet's icon won't show in the notification area, but I can connect to wired internet fine. I am not able to configure my wireless or VPN this way.</li>
<li>gksu's authentication screen is different from the usual graphical authentication - the screen turns gray as usual, but there are more options like save password for this session or keyring. And most importantly, <strong>it won't accept my password no matter what</strong>.</li>
<li>And lastly, Gwibber seems to install no matter what, but there's not a single package in my knowledge that I installed has anything related to Gwibber.</li>
</ul>
<p>I would welcome any help regarding these three issues. I did not mention what packages I installed, because the list is long, but I will do so if anyone requests.</p>
<p>Thank you in advance!</p>

<p>My understanding is that <code>gnome-terminal</code> and <code>konsole</code> are <strong>virtual</strong> terminals, and they are basically serving the same purpose, i.e. a command line environment for various optional command interpreters.

<p>But "There be Dragons" in that black-screen hinterland, so I'm outta-there as quickly as I can press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>F7</kbd> (I learnt that somewhere: "When all is black and dark: press the secret keys to return :)</p>

<li>Is/are the "real" terminal(s) the one(s) that exist behind the <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>F1</kbd>,<kbd>F2</kbd>, etc. keys? </li>
<li>And what is so "real" about them vs the "virtual" ones? </li>
<li>And how to they differ? Is it as simple as "no GUI" vs "GUI"? </li>

A command line environment for\n various optional command interpreters</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>This isn't strictly true. Virtual Terminals are merely programs that send keystrokes and receive output (this is called Standard In, Standard Out[ and Standard Error]) to a process in the background. This is a basic <em>input</em> → <em>processing</em> → <em>output</em> system, and is at the heart of your operating system.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletype\" rel=\"noreferrer\"><img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/76/ASR-33_1.jpg/220px-ASR-33_1.jpg\"></a>\n<br><em>A teletype (or teleprinter)</em></p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/36/Bundesarchiv_B_145_Bild-F038812-0022%2C_Wolfsburg%2C_VW_Autowerk%2C_EDV.jpg/220px-Bundesarchiv_B_145_Bild-F038812-0022%2C_Wolfsburg%2C_VW_Autowerk%2C_EDV.jpg\"><br><em>Man working at a Computer Terminal</em></p>\n\n<p>Let's see if I can explain it properly:</p>\n\n<p>In a Unix–like system such as Linux there is the concept of <em>\"everything is a file\"</em>. That means, for example, your DVD Drive is a file (/dev/sdb1), your keyboard is a file (/dev/input/keyboard) and so on.</p>\n\n<p>Another set of those magical files are the TTYs, where TTY stands for Teletype. A Typewriter that sends keystrokes to a computer, which in turn sends letters back to the <em>Type Ball</em>. This would have represented a physical device, a remote typewriter, in the same way as /dev/lp0 may represent your printer.</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6f/Terminal-dec-vt100.jpg/220px-Terminal-dec-vt100.jpg\"><br> <em>A hardware terminal, the VT100</em></p>\n\n<p>The Teletype workstations would have been called \"Consoles\" or \"Terminals\", a virtual terminal, as opposed to a real one, thus is any application or machinery that provides the same functionality as this workplace arrangement - which is accessing the computer by sending keystrokes to it and receiving output back from it, printing it to a piece of paper. You can imagine that a Modem works in a very similar way.</p>\n\n<p>Terminals, such as the one pictured above, are cheap and simple computers that <em>emulate</em> the functionality of a teletype. When we say terminal emulator these days, we - in turn - usually mean a program that emulates the functionality of such a machine.</p>\n\n<p>There are still terminal based computer systems in use. They are in fact getting <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project\" rel=\"noreferrer\">ever more popular</a>. In the past, the reason for terminals was that a computer at every desk was completely ridiculous - where computers filled a room and were immensely expensive. Now, it saves money and makes administration easy.</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/oDIZs.jpg\"><br>\n<em>a \"thin client\" – the modern equivalent of the VT100</em></p>\n\n<p>I hope that this is helpful. Please alert my if I've made a mistake.</p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<blockquote>\n <p>Does that mean that\n Control-Alt-F1,F2,etc are also virtual\n terminals, and the only difference\n between them and \"gnome-terminal\" /\n \"konsole\" is that they don't have a\n GUI?</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>Yes, basically. The difference between TTY1-7 and gnome-terminal is that the system provides the ttys, whereas gnome-terminal and konsole are themselves running on a tty (which is running the graphical subsystem). This abstraction can be nested even deeper (e.g. x-forwarding, using the telnet protocol to act as a terminal, ...), after all, the <em>human—computer interface</em> acts just like any other file. And can be piped, abstracted and moved about in the same way.</p>\n",

<br>
Example:<br>
I have a folder with some files. Now I want to overwrite this folder with a folder with the same name, same files, but some additional files, the merge window comes up, I choose merge and nautilus crashes (does not respond, when I press the close button I can force close it). Some times it even does the copying/emptying (trash), but it always crashes!<br>
<br>
This happens when copying to the same partition/ntfs partition/netshares, but not when I make a new folder and copy the files/folders into that (without overwriting anything). On a netshare, it's even possible to merge these files afterwards with another computer!<br>
<br>
dmesg/syslog/messages does not show any entry related to that problem.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have a solution for this very annoying problem?<br>
<br>
EDIT:<br></p>
<blockquote>
<p><a href="http://pastebin.com/AT0ZDavK" rel="nofollow">dpkg -l nautilus*</a> (see output in pastebin)<br></p>

<p>EDIT2:<br>
I found out, nautilus already crashes before clicking replace/merge (as soon as the question appeares. In the video it's not entirely clear, that i click the cross before the force-close dialog appeares.<br></p>

<p>the ONLY fix available for me is to <strong>completely</strong> turning off the computer and unplugging it from the power source.</p>
<p>Finally, my computer works fine with other non-Linux OSes.</p>
<p><strong>EDIT1:</strong> </p>
<p>It seems that I'm not the only one with this problem, <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1607778" rel="nofollow">others</a> have it too. </p>
<p><strong>EDIT2:</strong></p>
<p>Why it is trying to read from VGA-1, there's no VGA-1.</p>
<p><strong>EDIT3:</strong> </p>
<p>Well, it seems that it was a driver issue, this doesn't happen anymore with r300g, and when it does happen it just correct itself after I launch the 'monitor settings'</p>
<p>It still happens, however, with the r600 driver on a different computer.</p>

14301 | 1 | 14364 | 2010-11-21T15:43:10.160 | 16 | 30956 | <p>im having a few problems symlinking my <code>/var/www/</code> to a new <code>Webroot</code> directory inside my home folder. I think these stem from my lack of understanding of linux permissions.</p>
<p>As far as im aware, symlinks should take the form of the directory you want to linked and the directory you want to be linked to, so in my case, i ran:</p>
<p><code>sudo ln -s ~/Webroot/* /var/www/</code></p>
<p>this has sort of worked, if i run <code>ls</code> on <code>/var/www/</code> i can see all of the files in my <code>Webroot</code> directory. </p>
<p>Whenever i try to run a file that is in my <code>Webroot</code> folder, i get a 403 permission error, is this because the files in my Webroot directory are created by me, and the apache instance is being run as www-data? </p>
<p>if this is the case, would this mean i need to change the permissions on every file i create in order to run it?</p>
<p>I have previously run a local apache instance my pointing the directory root of my default vhost to the <code>Webroot</code> folder, in this instance i did not need to alter any permissions. Any help would be appreciated.</p>

14310 | 1 | null | 2010-11-21T16:48:07.810 | 2 | 309 | <p>I want to install Ubuntu on my computer. I don't know much about Linux, but I know my way around a terminal and whatnot. My computer, a ThinkPad W700ds, refuses to read from my CD when booting. The md5sum is correct and the same CD boots fine from another computer. </p>
<p>When I try to install from a USB, I can get the main screen, but when I select any of the options from there my screen turns black for more than 3 hours until I have to turn it off. Is there anything I can do about this? I want to have a true partition, don't want a Wubi'd install. It's a 10.10 x64 image, but my computer is 64 bit (running Windows 7 x64 right now) and the exact same CD is bootable on other computers. </p>
<p>I've been on #ubuntu IRC for days trying to work this out but nobody knew, so I figured I would get more responses by posting to here.</p>
<p>UPDATE: Thanks Jorge Castro. Both the alternate and desktop installers seem to not work at all with the CD. On a USB, the alternate installer lets me start installing, but in the middle of installation I get <a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4086/5175145635_50c66970ba_b.jpg" rel="nofollow">this message</a>. The people on #ubuntu told me to just exit installation at that point, so I did. </p>

Like Dell, System76, etc.</p>\n\n<p>It connects to a Canonical server on a daily basis and tells it the following:</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>How many times it has connected in the past (<code>/var/lib/send-install-count/counter</code>)</li>\n<li>The OEM's ID (stored in <code>/var/lib/ubuntu_dist_channel</code>)</li>\n<li>The hardware product (<code>/sys/class/dmi/id/product_name</code>)</li>\n<li>Which release of Ubuntu it's using (<code>/etc/lsb-release</code>'s <code>$DISTRIB_RELEASE</code>)</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Implicitly it also tells Canonical which IP the computer is using and from that they could work out the country, sometimes company it's being used from. <em>If</em> they're doing this is another question.</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n <p>Why is (was) there so much fuss about it?</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>Some people see this as an attempt to track users. In a way it does. But how much of that information is helpful to actually work out who a user is?</p>\n\n<p>Well I'm a cynic. With the IP, Canonical could look at the other services they provide (Ubuntu One, Launchpad, etc). If the users uses another service, they could perhaps work out who has done business with Dell (et al)...</p>\n\n<p>But even cynical as I am, what does that really give them? Not much. Its only real value is working out how many OEM computers are get used with their default install of Ubuntu.</p>\n\n<p>I'm not going to get bogged down in the paranoia of some people but it's fair to say, all but the most cut-off hermits give out more personal, traceable and potentially harmful data to much bigger and uglier companies on a daily basis.</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n <p>Why is it under the 'Canonical Partners' section in the Software Center?</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>I don't know.</p>\n\n<p>It doesn't really matter where it sits but the <code>partner</code> repo is as good as any other place, I guess.

14357 | 1 | null | 2010-11-22T03:45:37.787 | 5 | 460 | <p>I've just upgraded from 10.04 and I have Exaile as my main player.</p>
<p>Anyway, when I double click a .mp3 file it opens okay. But in 10.04, if I clicked another, Exaile would push it in my playlist and that file would be the next to play. However, now in 10.10, if Exaile is already open then it doesn't add the .mp3 once I double click on it and as a result I can't seem to progressively add more files to be played, so the playlist has to be created at once, which really doesn't suit my needs.</p>
<p>Any way to fix this? And if there isn't, what's a good alternative on gnome?</p>

<p><code>UUID="680C0FE30C0FAAE0" /jgdata ntfs noatime,rw</code></p>
<p>But sometimes this drive isn't plugged in at boot time. This leaves me half way through a boot, with a prompt to "Continue Waiting, press S or press M" but no keypress has any affect at this stage (including <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>-<kbd>Alt</kbd>-<kbd>Delete</kbd>, not even caps-lock).</p>
<p>Short of writing a script to check the output of <code>fdisk -l</code>, how can I mount this drive at boot time only if it is present? It would be handy to have an fdisk entry for this drive, so I can just type <code>mount /jgdata</code> instead of needing a device name.</p>

If you change it to <code>noauto</code>, it will never mount during boot.

<p>I also found out how to provide the .changelog files in the right place for update-manager to show them, and now I'm happy since I'm able to tell my clients that they can see changelogs of my custom packages directly from their gui.</p>
<p>Unfortunately I'm not able to find any command line tool to do the same thing and that would be more useful on servers.</p>
<p>From what I saw it seems that this convention (putting .changelog files directly alongside the .deb files in the apt repo) is a ubuntu specific extension.</p>
<p>There are some debian resources (the reprepro man page for example) which point on a different way to store changelogs online, <a href="http://packages.debian.org/changelogs">http://packages.debian.org/changelogs</a></p>

<p>It's an AOA-110 that has worked fine forever and a day (currently with Maverick UNR, fully updated). Last night, I was ereading and went to go online to look something up. I notice that not only am I not connected, but my AP is not even visible.</p>
<p>Okay. Research time.</p>
<p>I find out about RFKILL. It is showing a hard block on the ATH5K device. The switch is NOT flipped.</p>
<p>Among other things, I have tried remapping the switch and the steps listed in #49 <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/478036" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, between this, the current <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/udev/+bug/647404" rel="nofollow">UDEV worker error</a>, the <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/660127" rel="nofollow">fullscreen Flash video error</a>, and apparently narrowly avoiding the <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/fedora/+source/devicekit-disks/+bug/445852" rel="nofollow">devkit SSD issue</a>, and the perennial lack of progress on Launchpad (as well as two weird errors on two Wubi installs done to make converts), I am losing all faith in Ubuntu.</p>
<p>In addition, even when a hard block seems to be missing, neither Network Manager nor Wicd seem to see the AP I know is there and in range. iwlist scan shows no results, and iwconfig shows the WLAN0 interface.</p>
<p>Enough discussing, on to questioning.</p>
<p>How can I fix this? Secondly, any ideas on why this is happening?</p>
<p>I am desperately fighting a complete reinstall. Any help out there? </p>

I managed to find a simple command for a launcher to execute the log out prompt. Unfortunately, along with an option to log out, there is also an option to switch user. For my purposes, giving an option to switch the user is not desired. I have tried everything possible to disable user switching but it does not seem to effect the ability to click the switch user option in the log out dialog box. </p>
<p>What I would really like to use is the log out option that the Indicator Applet Session uses. Clicking log out from the applet does not give the option to switch user. Is there any way to take whatever command the applet is using and create a launcher for the desktop?</p>

I have a USB all setup but for the life of me can't get it to boot from USB! I've looked online and can't seem to find the motherboard details anywhere to access the BIOS and more applications won't work on Windows CE so I'm stuck.

<p>Unfortunately, there is not a gamepad setting for this game (and many others out there). I know there is software like rejoystick that allows the mapping of keyboard keys to a gamepad. However, since this game incorporates the mouse, is there a solution to map both over?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Update: I have found on <a href="http://playdeb.net">playdeb.net</a> QJoypad. It allows the mapping of both keyboard and mouse. Unfortunately, I still seem to have trouble with the mouse when entering Amnesia. </p>

14465 | 1 | 14467 | 2010-11-22T22:38:46.223 | 6 | 2639 | <p>I have a headless Ubuntu-server running at work, and I connect to it from my home Windows machine through Putty. I've logged in with putty, and I need to run a program back at the server (a java package) but it won't run without an X11 display. This is the error I get:</p>
<p><code>No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it.</code></p>
<p>I've never used a remote graphical session before, so correct me if I speak nonsense. The thing is, I don't really need a gui to interact with this software, I just need it to run as if there was a gui. So, what's the easiest way for me to get it to run on the server via remote login? It can be an actual display session, or some kind of emulated display that the application could output to. The important is that I can start it from a command-line-only Putty window, and that it won't stop when I log off.</p>
<p>I read that <code>xvnc</code> might do the trick, but I didn't get how to do it.</p>
<p>Was I clear enough?</p>

<p>I upgaded from UBUNTU 9.04 on my IBM THINKPAD to 10.04 LTS. The NETGEAR 511 ADAPTER HAD BEEN WORKING CORRECTLY with broadband wireless. With 10.04 the access point (and no other wireless point) was being seen. </p>
<p>Reinstalling UBUNTU 9.04 automatically "sees" the WG 511 and permits connection to wi-fi. Something must have been changed/omitted in 10.04, but as a rank beginner w/UBUNTU, I don't know how to find out and fix it. Have so far been really impressed while trying to rehab this old IBM THINKPAD. Thanks for the guidance.</p>

<p>If I understand correctly, this should work. But it doesn't.
I expected installing from the repositories would be a lot faster. But it doesn't work.
The Ubuntu wiki pages have no information about a 403 Forbidden error.</p>
<p>I'm surprised that this is so difficult... so obviously I'm doing something wrong.
Help! :)</p>

14481 | 1 | null | 2010-11-23T04:23:55.213 | 1 | 7444 | <p>After moving to Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook Edition, I've noticed a strange problem that manifests itself most obviously with streaming videos like youtube and hulu. The video will load and begin playing fine and eventually stop, as though it is buffering. However, it usually happens between 40 and 60 seconds into the clip. The loading indication however shows that it actually isn't buffering anymore of the data, and will just sit there. If I force the clip forward (e.g. click to start the movie somewhere ahead of the stall point) the clip will usually reload quickly and begin playing as expected.</p>
<p>Because of the quick load times, and the consistent stop of video, I don't think the problem is related to hardware performance or network throughput. Also, I have none of these problems in 10.04. Rebooting into 10.04 makes the problem disappear.</p>
<p>However, one more clue, I also have noticed a higher occurrence of web pages that simply "stop loading" - say, 1/10 clicks while browsing I have to hit "reload" to get the page to load because the page timed out part of the way through. This seems strangely related to the video problem, though is a lot less infuriating.</p>
<p>Help! Where do I begin to look with a problem like this?</p>

14482 | 1 | null | 2010-11-23T04:32:20.710 | 11 | 965 | <p>So, I've given up trying to configure my system (ubuntu 10.10, open source ATI drivers) to shutdown/logout/restart gracefully. Whenever I do any of the three, all I get is an ugly ubuntu logo with console text running over it. It does shutdown quickly, and I love that. It just looks awful while it does it.</p>
<p>Is there a way to just have <em>nothing</em> displayed when I click shutdown/logout/restart? For example, is there a command that can disable the screen that I can put somewhere in some configuration file that will be the absolute first thing that is executed when I select shutdown/logout/restart? I know of the <code>xset dpms force off</code> command which does turn the display off, but moving the mouse at all or pressing any key will turn it back on again. </p>
<p>Is there a command that can disable the screen and disable any input that I can place somewhere that will be the first thing that is executed when I select shutdown/logout/restart?</p>

"body": "<p>If your concern is only about having access to 4GB of RAM, then <strong>go for the 32bit + PAE version of Ubuntu</strong>. It's the easiest way :-) But read further in order to understand limitations and advantages of each architecture.</p>\n\n<p>I guess your hardware is pretty recent, so <strong>Ubuntu will just pick up the 4GB of memory even in 32bit</strong> as it's using a kernel feature called PAE (some release of Ubuntu have a separate kernel for that, check in <code>Synaptic Package Manager</code> for PAE). <strong>It's really stable</strong> and you won't regret it, especially for Flash which needs (if you install it the easy way from the repository) a 32bit stack. In my experience, a 64bit OS with Flash 32bit is unstable.</p>\n\n<p>But they are a <strong>few limitations on the 32bit version</strong>, a process (a program) cannot access more than 2GB or sometimes 3GB of memory (depends on kernel and application own memory management such as Java Virtual Machine). This is obviously not a problem for most application. However, I've been using a few GPS tools to build maps. They sometimes (for big maps) need more than 2GB addressable memory. But it's really not common. In addition, 32bit+PAE can be incompatible with some proprietary drivers. They do work perfectly with open source ones, but some times the proprietary/binary drivers can not handle this architecture.</p>\n\n<p><strong>On the other side</strong>, you can go 64bit and with <code>Ubuntu Software Centre</code> you can be happy as you have access to a huge library of 64bit applications. However, if you want to use proprietary software on Linux, you need to hope that they support also 64bit. Products like: Adobe Flash, Adobe AIR, Google Talk Plugin, Skype, Amazon MP3 are 32bits only. Some do work if you install the 32bit stack on your 64bit system, but some won't (Amazon MP3) or badly (Adobe Flash). Another drawback of <strong>64bit system is that they use more memory</strong>. So a same application will use more memory for doing the same thing in a 32bit environment. Sometimes it's a problem.</p>\n\n<p>Conclusion is:</p>\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>32bit is more compatible</strong> regarding application (especially proprietary ones like Skype or Flash). PAE does not have impact on applications usually.</li>\n<li>32bit+PAE/64bit you might have problem on both platform with certain binary drivers (usually for WiFi)</li>\n<li>If you don't need an application that uses more than 2GB of RAM (create your own map for your GPS), then <strong>you don't need 64bit. This is the case for the vast majority of users</strong> in today computing.</li>\n<li><strong>64bit tend to use more memory</strong> for the same workload.</li>\n<li>Some users and benchmarks (see phoronix.com) report <strong>64bit systems are slightly faster</strong>. But the margin is small enough that I don't feel the differences.</li>\n</ol>\n",

<p>Recently I have installed ubuntu 10.10 beside my windows XP on my Dell XPS 1330 laptop.
Everything worked fine except my wireless network. I tried to activate the wireless driver recommended in "Ubuntu Additional Drivers" utiltity, but it didn't work.
Next, I installed "ndisWrapper-utils" using "Synaptic Package Manager" and installed my windows wireless driver using "Windows Wireless Driver" utility!</p>
<p>Now it is sometimes working fine, sometimes not!!</p>
<p>The weird thing is that whenever my ubuntu doesn't recognize my wireless network and I restart my computer to my windows XP; My Windows doesn't recognize the wireless networks too! In this situation if I restart my windows, the problem still isn't solved BUT if I standby my windows and come back, the problem is solved in both windows and linux!!!</p>
<p>It means that whenever my ubuntu doesn't recognize my wireless network, I have to restart in my windows and stanby for once and come back in my ubuntu !!! :D</p>

I'm going through the process of acquiring hearing aids, and it may be smartest for me to stream telephone audio from my provider directly to my aids via bluetooth and a softphone (I spent a lot of time on the phone). I could conceivably use my Android handset, but it seems k,ind of clunky. I used to use X-Lite under Windows, but the Linux version is very rough comparatively. I've also tried Xoiper, but find the interface pretty rough. I want something that's close to a phone dialing and usage wise.</p>
<p>Counterpath makes Bria and Eyebeam, which are more contemporary then X-Lite, but there is apparently no way to try them out (I would be open to buying one if that made sense).</p>
<p>Any recommendations are appreciated.</p>
