<p>To be more clear, will the history be stored in some place in the hard-disk, even if the history is deleted from the browser menu(delete history option)? </p>
<p>If yes, Can i retrieve those details? </p>
<p>Thanks,<br>

<p>More specifically:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>when it starts, it wants to check <code>/</code> for errors. Then it says that it has errors, and it wants me to choose if I want to abort, ignore, or try to fix. It can't fix them, but if I choose to ignore, it just starts.</p></li>
<li><p>Transmission occupies the whole screen (above the panels), and I can't minimize it, even whith <kbd>alt+space</kbd> + minimize (or unmaximize). The only way to bring my panels back is to close the Transmission window.</p></li>
<li><p>When I start the pc, the bottom panel is empty, and I need to put the panel items back every time.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Now I realize that it has taken some serious damage, and I want to know how can I tidy it up, without losing all my installed apps and configuration files.</p>

<p>I then went to the Synaptic Package Manager, searched for all Broadcom packages and installed them. So far so good.</p>
<p>I restarted my computer and to my surprise, my wireless works but my lan isn't! What the heck could be wrong?</p>
<p>I then uninstalled/removed all the packages I installed earlier hoping my ethernet would start working again but hey, nothing changed. My wireless card works and the ethernet still doesn't.</p>
<p>Is there any way of getting this fixed?</p>
<p>I checked and found my network devices were:</p>

<li>Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02)</li>
<li>Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN

<p>I have NetBeans installed in Host Machine and need to open my project files which are located in Guest Machine. The reason I need it is because in my working place I have not access to install any applications, that is why I have Guest Machine where I have Web Server installed on it and also I have one web application that I am developing. </p>
<p>I need to open that web application files from Guest Machine's Netbeans in order to modify/create new files for my web application. </p>
<p>I have configured SSH server of Guest Machine and added port redirection in the VirtualBox so that now I can connect to it from Host Machine. But I could not find any way to open those files from Netbeans.</p>
<p>Could anybody give me advice about how can I do that please? </p>
<p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p>
<p>I forgot to say that I don't want to use SharedFolders. </p>

14997 | 1 | 15018 | 2010-11-26T16:36:05.063 | 5 | 3472 | <p>When I boot into Ubuntu from my USB pendrive, my laptop fan becomes abnormally loud and the fan temperature also increases (I can feel the heat by putting my hand under the laptop). This doesn't happen with Windows. I've done my research, and found out that it may be a problem with the graphics card - I've got an ATI RADEON XPRESS 1100. Quite a lot of people have noted that it may be a problem with Ubuntu not being able to handle power management properly with this graphics card. Also, I am not running any CPU-intensive or memory-intensive programs - when I go to Preferences > System Monitor, the memory usage is only around ~250-400 megabytes and the CPU usage hardly ever goes above 20.</p>
<p>My laptop is an ASUS X51RLseries laptop, by the way. I'm also just trying Ubuntu at the moment - does this have anything to do with the abnormally high fan temperature? When I actually install Ubuntu on a separate partition (so that I can dual boot both Windows and Ubuntu), will the temperature and fan loudness decrease? On Windows, my Hard Drive temperature at the moment is 41 degrees Celsius, and my CPU temperature is 53 degrees Celsius. This is normal for me, and it may increase or decrease slightly depending on the amount of work I am putting on my laptop.</p>
<p>I'm quite a newb at Ubuntu yet, so if you could explain instructions clearly to me then I would greatly appreciate it. I know how to do basic stuff, but if you are very detailed then that would be very helpful. If there's anything I've missed or if you need to know anything else, then please let me know. Thanks.</p>

14998 | 1 | 15006 | 2010-11-26T16:38:02.940 | 9 | 1849 | <p>I have a SATA hard-drive, formatted as ext4, which is detected by Nautilus each time I boot the computer. </p>
<p>I do need to click on it, in <strong>Places</strong>, to actually mount it. That's okay, I'm happy with that. </p>
<p>However, when I manually unmount it (via the context menu in Nautilus), it asks me "Do you want to empty the trash befoe you unmount?" ... and this only started happening today, after 2 months of daily use...</p>
<p>Now, it could be that I've never had trash on this drive before today... it is possible, as I often do a Shift+Delete, and I don't do a manual unmount every day... </p>
<p>I was a bit surprised by this dialog, and wonder <em>"Why?"</em> (because Trash is typically a place which is manually maintained). </p>
<p>Also, how do I prevent this prompt from appearing?</p>

You could make Nautilus scripts/actions to point the files to your new folder. Since the files would be on the same drive there would be no overhead (i.e., the move would be instant/not cost any cpu) and you wouldn't be bothered by dialogs. I personally have a small (2GB partition) I use as a temp/share with Windows area for misc. odds and ends. I find it works quite well to get thinks out of the way.

15022 | 1 | 18358 | 2010-11-26T19:54:40.897 | 4 | 851 | <p>My laptop battery ran down and died while using Ubuntu 10.04 with Wubi. Upon recharge (and restart) selecting Ubuntu from the Windows Boot menu brings me to the typical prompt which says (and I paraphrase): </p>
<blockquote>
<p>Trying hd(0,0) on Disk...</p>
</blockquote>
<p>After that the screen flickers to white (for a split second) then black. No grub menu comes up (as I would expect) no cursor, no grub sh prompt. Nothing. I've tried switching TTYs to no avail.</p>
<p>As there are no logs, I can't trouble shoot anything. I've run a check disk from windows (on the NTFS partition the root.disk is stored) with no luck. What is causing this failure to load grub (and, by association Ubuntu) - How can I restore my setup and get Ubuntu via Wubi working?</p>

</blockquote>
<p>I am currently trying to install Ubuntu to a computer, alongside Windows XP using a partition. I set up the partition using the installer, and the setup seemed to be working properly. But, as the installation neared completion, it appeared to have stopped. I am currently looking at the menu for customising my Username/Password, and at the bottom the installer says "Ready when you are...". And, I cannot use the skip button, nor can I click the forward button to continue. Also, there appears to be an error log, if that would help.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how to fix this(or, if there is a problem at all)? Would it be unsafe to reset my computer during this phase of installation?</p>
<p>This is my first time setting up a computer to use Ubuntu, so I really have no idea if there's something I should be doing to fix this.</p>

My next option would be to do the same with Tomboy itself, but I'm unsure what will happen to my notes if I do that. Is it a good idea to try reinstalling Tomboy, or is there another way to go about fixing this.</p>

<p>Doesn't the update manager phone home when it's figuring out if there's anything to download?</p>

15069 | 1 | 15386 | 2010-11-27T00:09:03.707 | 15 | 14479 | <p>I've had a mildly annoying problem with my sound for quite awhile now, and I've finally decided it's time to do something about it.</p>
<p>Every time I adjust the main volume slider in the toolbar, or use my volume hotkeys on my laptop, Ubuntu adjusts my mixer levels in a strange way. When I open GNOME ALSA Mixer, I notice that there are three output sliders for my SigmaTel STAC9200: Master, PCM, and LFE. Master and LFE both have Mute checkboxes.</p>
<p>When I press my volume up hotkey once, Master and LFE unmute, and the sliders for PCM and LFE jump up about halfway. The Master slider stays at zero. Another press brings PCM and LFE up to about 4/5, and Master remains unmoved at the bottom.</p>
<p>Ubuntu doesn't move Master until PCM and LFE are maxed out, which occurs between about 15%-20% on the main output mixer.</p>
<p>The effect of this is that I don't get any sound at all until about 15%-20% (since Master is at zero), and when I cross that threshold, I immediately get a loud bassy sound (from the LFE apparently). If I use headphones, I still don't get any sound until that threshold, but at least it doesn't blast me when I do get sound.</p>
<p>Is there anything in PulseAudio configuration or anywhere else that could change the behavior of my output mixer?</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Version:</strong> Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS (Lucid Lynx)</li>
<li><strong>WUBI</strong> (on Windows XP Pro SP3, basically all updates)</li>
<li><strong>HARDWARE:</strong> <a href="http://www.powerspec.com/systems/archives/system_archive.phtml?selection=6245" rel="nofollow noreferrer">PowerSpec 6245</a>, <strong>Processor:</strong> AMD Athlon™ XP processor 2800+</li>
</ul>
<p>When I login as GNOME, it takes the username/password, then screen goes black for 1-second, then flashes back to the login. At first I thought I forgot the admin password, but figured out I was able to login as xterm, then as Failsafe GNOME. </p>
<p>Any suggests? Thanks!</p>
<h2>UPDATE (1):</h2>
<p>From Failsafe, I'm able to change the default screen size/Hz (which is correct for the monitor) to 800x600, and then login as GNOME. If I change it back to the default via GNOME, I'm not able to login.</p>
<h2>UPDATE (2):</h2>
<p>Posted a follow up question focus on possible WUBI resource conflicts <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/15186/windows-configs-required-for-wubi">here</a>. And info on a strange issue related to how changing the screen background results in the same pattern of the login failing.</p>
<h2>UPDATE (3):</h2>
<p>Given up on Ubuntu, don't have time for this, would delete the question, but there's too many answers. So, I'll just leave it unanswered.</p>

15076 | 1 | 15078 | 2010-11-27T01:26:46.637 | 5 | 4846 | <p>I recently downloaded an Ubuntu 9.10 virtual appliance for VMWare and want to install a LAMP server on it. Normally, I would just <code>sudo tasksel install lamp-server</code> but that seems to just return without doing anything. So I tried <code>sudo tasksel</code> to bring up the list of packages. But this list only includes three options... Print server, Ubuntu desktop and Manual package selection. I thought maybe it was in Manual package selection but I didn't see it. I'm pretty new to Ubuntu (and linux in general) so I'm not sure where to go next. The only posts I've found about missing options in tasksel says it just suddenly started showing additional options the next day...</p>
<p>Why don't I have all the options I usually do (like LAMP server)? How can I get these options back?</p>

15123 | 1 | 15351 | 2010-11-27T14:05:48.137 | 13 | 2463 | <p>Some months ago, on the road to Ubuntu Maverick, a new system indicator, network (with connman as a backend), started to be developed. The plan was to get it into UNE and release it with no notifcation area. Unfortunately it didn't make it into the final version. However, continued efforts are still being made to improve it, and <a href="https://code.launchpad.net/indicator-network">I'm getting regular updates</a>. </p>
<p>From a blueprint from the last UDS, I read that the plan was to ship no notification area and only indicators. For that, it was defined that nm-applet (backend: NetworkManager) should be ported to the appindicator library. </p>
<p>Today I discovered that those efforts are going on and a initial version is available for testing, available from <a href="https://edge.launchpad.net/~mathieu-tl/+archive/ppa">Matt Trudel PPA</a> (Natty only).</p>
<p>So, my questions is, to whoever has the necessary info: <strong>wouldn't it be easier to join efforts</strong> and concentrate the work in just one version (probably NetworkManager backend, as that's the official plan), instead of breaking those efforts apart and hampering both testing and developing? Both indicators are being developed by Canonical engineers, and that really doesn't make much sense. </p>
<p>So, any Canonical engineer willing to clarify this? </p>

<ul>
<li>I can back up a single file containing my private key, and restore it when I do a new install.</li>
<li>The private key is never stored in unencrypted form anywhere, including in the file that I back up and restore, but with the necessary exception of my RAM while I am using it.</li>
<li>Someone with physical access to my machine cannot necessarily use my private key. I should be required to enter a password before it will work, preferably the password to my user account.</li>
<li>It is not necessary to back up the public key. I should be able to generate that from the private key (but may need sufficient information to decrypt it).</li>
</ul>
<p>I know that there are a lot of resources explaining how to use ssh key management tools. However, I find them quite complex, and I have proven unable to save my private key when doing new installs in the past. So I would much rather hear some best practices from someone with experience doing exactly what I want to do.</p>

<p>I'd like to get to the grub menu to try selecting the previous kernel rev, but it starts booting to disk immediately. Holding down the shift key doesn't bring up the menu.</p>
<p>I can boot into the install CD, but I don't know if/how I can use this to rescue. I saw a post somewhere that the "alternate install" ISO may have a recover option? Is this what I need to do?</p>
<p>EDIT:</p>
<p>I was able to modify grub options via the install CD by following <a href="http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/boot-ubuntu-10-04-in-rescue-mode-to-edit-ftab-829001/#post4080706" rel="nofollow">this advice</a>. I edited /boot/grub/menu.lst and increased the timeout and commented out the 'hidden' option. Then I was able to reboot, see the grub menu, select 'rescue mode' from the grub menu, and when prompted I selected "low graphics option." and (at least temporarily) I can get my desktop.</p>
<p>Now the question is: how do I reconfigure my display?</p>

The icon and menu options "says" I'm connected; meaning that I'm able to disconnect, connect, etc., but Firefox is not connecting to the internet. One thing I did change was that for some strange reason Firefox appears to have been set by default to be in "work offline" mode; which well, is an interesting default.</p>
<p>Do I need to enable something; the http port for example? </p>
<p>If not, how do I isolate the source of the issue? For example, attempt to do a "ping google.com" from the terminal, but appears Ubuntu didn't like that syntax. </p>
<p>Thanks, and if you have any questions, just let me know!</p>

I wanted to use a NTFS partition on Ubuntu drive to allow file sharing between to two OS's but when I formatted that partition, I accidentally shot my self in the foot by deleting my boot info. So I now must reformat and reinstall my windows OS because I accidentally deleted my BOOTMGR and when I do I wanted to know, should I put each OS on the same drive and have the other be a data drive in NTFS, or should I set it up as the way I had it again. Also, Its been a while since the last time I've set it up so how do I select where I want the folder with all the boot info to go, or should I put in on its own partition somewhere.</p>

15184 | 1 | 15188 | 2010-11-27T21:49:53.297 | 22 | 75993 | <p>I use <em>locate</em> all the time to find files that I know the name of, <em>locate</em> is very fast and I love that. For recently created files <em>find</em> is great, normally with recently created files I know where basically they were created so I don't have to search my entire file system. </p>
<p>When I've forgotten the location of a directory however neither find nor locate seem ideal. </p>
<p>Locate always spits out far too much information because every file within a directory is also a match for locate. For instance if I was searching for a directory named log somewhere on my file system <em>locate log</em> would return tons and tons of results. If I do the same thing with find, <em>find / -name log -type d</em> find takes minutes to run and spits out all sorts of permissions errors every time it encounters a folder it can't read. </p>
<p>Is there a better way?</p>
<p>Answer: So I'm sticking with grep until I find something else:</p>
<pre><code>locatedir () {
for last; do true; done
if [[ $last == *\/* ]]
then
locate $@ | grep "${last}\$"
else
locate $@ | grep "/${last}\$"
fi
}

<p>My laptop is low-end so I'm not sure if it's just my video card. I'm debating if I should install the proprietary drivers to improve performance. Can I get some advice on this?</p>
<p>output of <code>lspci | grep -i VGA</code> is as follows:</p>
<pre><code>01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M880G [Mobility Radeon HD 4200]
</code></pre>
<p>I'm not sure as to what drivers I'm currently using, all I know is that I didn't touch it since installing Karmic 9.10 so I know I'm using an open source one. I'm currently using 10.04 LTS (upgraded, not a clean install).</p>

15198 | 1 | 15218 | 2010-11-28T00:27:22.977 | 4 | 2262 | <p>I've been happily using Compiz with the Grid plugin on Ubuntu 10.04 on my Mini Inspiron netbook. However, due to battery life issues, I'm considering downgrading to a lighter Ubuntu derivative, and would like to try Lubuntu, which uses the Openbox window manager. I'm wondering, is there any way to make Openbox behave a bit more like a tiling window manager, in a manner similar to the Compiz Grid plugin?</p>

I understand that <code>fork()</code> creates an identical process of the currently running process, but where does it start? For example, if I have code</p>
<pre><code>int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
int retval;
printf ("This is most definitely the parent process\n");
fflush (stdout);
retval = fork ();
printf ("Which process printed this?\n");
return (EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
</code></pre>
<p>The output is:</p>
<pre><code>This is most definitely the parent process
Which process printed this?
Which process printed this?
</code></pre>
<p>I thought that fork() creates a same process, so I initially thought that in that program, the fork() call would be recursively called forever. I guess that new process created from fork() starts after the fork() call?</p>
<p>If I add the following code, to differentiate between a parent and child process,</p>
<pre><code>if (child_pid = fork ()) printf ("This is the parent, child pid is %d\n", child_pid);
else printf ("This is the child, pid is %d\n",getpid ());
</code></pre>
<p>after the fork() call, where does the child process begin its execution?</p>

15208 | 1 | null | 2010-11-28T03:52:29.393 | 2 | 4067 | <p>Can anyone help me with my touchpad issues? I have a HP Pavilion dm4 and it has two areas on the bottom of the touchpad to designate right and left clicks. This mostly doesn't work on Ubuntu in the fact that it recognizes any taps on either tap zone as a left click. Instead, I have it set so if I tap anywhere on the pad it makes a left click. </p>
<p>There should be, and there are, many ways in the mouse configuration window to simulate a right click using only a touchpad. None of these work. Changing mouse orientation doesn't do anything, "dwell click" also does nothing, and, the oddest part of this problem, whenever I try to turn "Simulated Secondary Click" off (it doesn't work anyways, but just to try to toggle it), the entire theme of my desktop changes to a gray Windows '95ey look. The only way to get rid of this is to close and reopen the mouse preferences window.</p>
<p>My computer is fairly new and the Ubuntu installation is less than a day old. I didn't do anything that I think could cause this. The problem is that I can't right click. Help, please?s that I can't right click. Help, please?</p>
<p>Afterword: I installed two scripts from <a href="http://sansmicrosoft.blogspot.com/2010/10/pavilion-dm4-1160-erratic-touchpad.html" rel="nofollow">http://sansmicrosoft.blogspot.com/2010/10/pavilion-dm4-1160-erratic-touchpad.html</a> . They didn't do anything I couldn't already do, and they did not make it possible for me to right click. :(</p>

<p>I just set up Samba on my linux ubuntu server (no GUI, cli only). I created the smb account and connected from my mac and mounted my home directory for the most part it works fine.</p>
<p>I did the normal test, touch a file then delete it. Strangely I could create the file fine but couldn't delete it.</p>
<p>I looked around the web and saw this problem a lot--most answers were related to permission settings in the smb.conf file. I played with these but I don't think that's the problem. From my mac I can even chmod the settings to 777 (And I checked from the Linux server to see that the chmod took, it did), and I can modify the file I created, but can't delete it.</p>
<p>I'm pretty confused, I'm wondering if it might have something to do with samba itself not having permissions, but that's beyond what I know how to check.</p>
<p>Edit:</p>
<p>I'm still curious about this--for the most part I just moved to sshfs which is pretty awesome and took me 3 minutes and no thought whereas I was hours into working with smb & nfs.</p>

Simply go to your icon theme directory and locate the icon(s) you wish to replace, taking note of their locations. </p>\n\n<p>In your home folder there is a hidden directory called <strong>.icons</strong>. In Nautilus you can hit <strong>Ctrl+H</strong> to see it. Any icons you put in this directory will be treated as icons are treated in <strong>/usr/share/icons</strong>. The only catch is that icons places in the .icons folder available only for that user. Also programs run as superuser, like Synaptic, will not reflect any changes in theme-ing added to your home folder. </p>\n\n<p>A way to solve that is to symbolically link ~/.icons (and ~/.themes if you want) to the corresponding folders in /root.</p>\n\n<p>If you wanted to do that you could put this in terminal:</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo ln -s ~/.icons /root\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>That will make your user themes globally available without needing root privileges at all. But that's beyond the scope of the question and I'm babbling.</p>\n\n<p>I will use the Mint-X icon theme and the application Blender as an example.</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>When I navigate to\n<strong>/usr/share/icons/Mint-X/apps/48</strong> I see a Blender icon. But I would like\nto replace it with a custom icon.</li>\n<li>I then go to <strong>~/.icons</strong> and recreate\nthe same directory hierarchy, staring with \"<strong>Mint-X</strong>\":</li>\n<li>~/.icons/Mint-X/apps/48</li>\n<li>Then I put my custom Blender icon in\nthe new \"<strong>48</strong>\" folder.</li>\n<li>And finally, I open the Appearance Preferences\nWindow, select a different icon\ntheme, and reselect Mint-X so it\nreloads (sometimes it happens live\nand you don't even need to reload the\ntheme).</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Now instead of the Blender icon in <strong>/usr/share/icons/Mint-X/apps/48</strong> I see the one in <strong>~/.icons/Mint-X/apps/48</strong> used in apps and menus that use the 48x48 sized Blender icon.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Keep in mind that everything is case sensitive and must match each other exactly for this trick to work!</strong></p>\n\n<p>There a few other ways to do this without overwriting anything in an icon theme, but this is by far the simplest. Also, <strong>just putting your custom icon in ~/.icons often works</strong> (the Twitter client Hotot is an example).</p>\n\n<p>I recommend learning what the <strong>index.theme</strong> files do. Those files control what places your system looks to decide which icons to use, what to name the theme, etc. Open one up in Gedit and have a look, it's pretty simple!</p>\n\n<p>The way I do it is by keeping a custom theme in ~/.icons that I always use (to make sure panel icons are the correct colors, mostly). I make up an index.theme file (you can copy one rather than write a whole new one, but make sure your folder locations correlate!) and just have it \"inherit\" the new theme I want.</p>\n\n<p>So if I wanted to use the Elementary icon theme instead of the Faenza-Dark one I would change the line</p>\n\n<pre><code>Inherits=Faenza-Dark\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>to</p>\n\n<pre><code>Inherits=Elementary\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>So in turn, by inheriting Elementary I will also inherit whatever Elementary inherits, but <strong>my icons will always come first</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>Hope that was helpful, time for bed!</p>\n",

<p>Had the wireless working on my Dell Studio 15 for months now (Ubuntu 10.04 64bit, now 10.10 64bit). But I shut the lid this morning, which put the machine to sleep; when I openend it again the wireless would no longer connect to anything :'(</p>
<p>I rebooted the machine, but that didn't help. I then did ifconfig eth1 {down,up}, but that didn't help, then I did iwconfig eth1 power {down,on}, but that didn't work.</p>
<p>So I uninstalled the wireless driver (Broadcom STA) from additional drivers (reboot in the middle), but it still won't work anymore!!</p>
<p>This is the trace from daemon.log, looks like it is a driver issue?</p>

<p>Anyone seen this, or know how I can get around this issue? It had been working fine up until now?! Even ran update-manager, but there wasn't any changes to the wireless drivers (or any related networking areas). Running the most up-to-date version of 10.10 x64.</p>
<p>My android phone and other devices are still working on the wireless.</p>

<p>As a start point im wanting to use something like a lightweight version of ubuntu - Ubuntu but without the gui and only the most limited set o f applications, and then move from there. Is there anywhere i get something like this?</p>
<p>Or alternatively am i best just to download Debian and then add the ubuntu repositories to the sources list so i can still the best bits of ubuntu software?</p>
<p>** Edit **</p>
<p>To clear up any confusion - im looking for minimal install that contains only the bare minimum ubuntu needs to operate as a distinct distribution. I.e as few applications and auxiliary libraries as possible. From there i want to add these manually myself.</p>
<p>I am aware that you could argue that the applications and libraries are what make ubuntu ubuntu - to an extent i agree. What i want to do is make use of the ubuntu infrastructure and repositories, whilst still coming up with something of my own creation.</p>

15250 | 1 | 15253 | 2010-11-28T13:12:10.553 | 4 | 414 | <p>As it is well known, it is recommended that the system administrator login to the system using a normal user (non-root). When the admin needs to do privileged tasks, <code>sudo</code> can be used to become superuser. Before gaining the requested privileges, the admin will be prompted to enter the <strong>SAME</strong> password used in the first login.</p>
<p>I was wondering whether it is possible to configure the system to ask the user for a different password when doing <code>sudo</code>. So, the user will have two passwords. The first password will provide access to SSH session. The other password (not the same one) will be used to gain the admin (root) privileges.</p>
<p>Is this possible? I think it will add more security to the system. Do you agree?</p>
<p>BTW, this will be similar to the access control used by Cisco devices. First, the admin login using a password. Then, accessing <strong>"enabled"</strong> (privileged) mode requires <strong>another password</strong> (can be different or same password).</p>

This is a problem when I want to sync them to my Android smartphone and I am unable to listen to them because of this permission setting. I am able to change the permissions of the folder manually, but when it updates the feeds, it resets them.</p>
<p>I've found a few threads about the internet, including the <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1051424" rel="nofollow">Ubuntu forums</a>, but no-one is able to find a solution.</p>
