<p>When I use the Visual Effects control to change it back to Normal or Extra the screens flicker and the checkbox stays on what I selected, but it doesn't actually activate, and when I re-open the dialog, it's back on None.</p>
<p>Is it just that my video card can't handle it, or is there a bug here that needs fixing?</p>

It aims to ensure that all of the Processes and their threads get a fair share of computing time. I won't go into scheduling too much (it's really complicated). But in the end there is something called a <em>run queue</em>. This is where all the instructions of all of the processes line up to wait for their turn to be executed.</p>\n\n<p>Any process puts it's \"tasks\" on the run queue, and once the processor's ready, it pops them off and executes them. When a program goes to sleep, for example, it removes itself from the run queue and returns to the \"end of the line\" once it's ready to run again.</p>\n\n<p>Sorting on this queue has to do with the processes' <em>Priority</em> (also called \"nice value\" - i.e. a process is <em>nice</em> about system resources). </p>\n\n<p>The length of the queue determines the <strong>Load</strong> of the system. A load of 2.5 for example means that there are 2.5 instructions for every instruction the CPU can deal with in <em>real time</em>.</p>\n\n<p>On Linux, by the way, this load is calculated in 10ms intervals (by default). </p>\n\n<p>Now onto the Percentage values of CPU utilisation:</p>\n\n<p>Imagine you have two clocks, one is called <code>t</code> and it represents <em>real time</em>. It measures a second for every second. The other clock we call <code>c</code> . It only runs if there is processing to do. That means, only when a process calculates something does the clock run. This is also called CPU time. Each and every process on the system 'has got' one of those.</p>\n\n<p>The processor utilisation can now be calculated for a single process:</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/lFnVD.png\" alt=\"U = c/t = 0.5s / 1s = 0.5\"></p>\n\n<p>or for all processes:</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/FBrWo.png\" alt=\"alt text\"></p>\n\n<p>On a multi core machine, this may result in a value of 3.9 of course, because the CPU can calculate four seconds worth of computation every second, if utilised perfectly.</p>\n\n<p>Wikipedia provides this example:</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n <p>A software application running in\n 6-CPU UNIX machine creates three UNIX\n processes for fulfilling the user\n requirement. Each of these three\n processes create two threads. Work of\n software application is evenly\n distributed on 6 independent threads\n of execution created for the\n application. If no wait for resources\n is involved, Total CPU time is\n expected to be six times Elapsed real\n time.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>Here's a small python snippet that does this</p>\n\n<pre><code>>>> import time\n>>> t = time.time()\n>>> c = time.clock()\n>>> # the next line will take a while to compute\n>>> tuple(tuple(i**0.2 for i in range(600)) for i in range(6000))\n>>> print (time.clock() / (time.time() - t)) * 100, \"%\"\n66.9384021612 %\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>In a perfect world, you could infer from this that system load is 100 - 66.93 = 33,1%. (But in reality that'd be wrong because of complex things like I/O wait, scheduling inefficiencies and so on)</p>\n\n<p>In contrast to <em>load</em>, these calculations will <em>always</em> result in a value between 0 and the number of processors, i.e. between 0 and 1 or 0 to 100%. There is now no way to differentiate between a machine that is running three tasks, utilising 100% cpu, and a machine running a million tasks, getting barely any work done on any single one of them, also at 100%. If you're, for instance, trying to balance a bunch of processes on many computers, cpu utilisation is next to useless. Load is what you want there.</p>\n\n<p>Now in reality, there is more than one of those processing time clocks. There's one for waiting on I/O for example. So you could also calculate I/O resource utilisation.</p>\n\n<p>This may not have been helpful regarding the original question, but I hope it's interesting. :)</p>\n",

<p>I know there is a known bug concerning booting a 10.04 image created in 10.10, it's in the <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickMeerkat/ReleaseNotes#Common%20Desktop%20Applications" rel="nofollow noreferrer">release notes</a>, but this is a maverick image - and the <a href="https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/645818" rel="nofollow noreferrer">bug report</a> does look quite different from what I'm getting. I've tried it with the normal Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop image as well, just to be sure - it's the exact same error(s). Also, booting from a live CD works as expected.</p>
<p>The USB drive is formatted with FAT32, msdos partitioning table. USB Legacy mode is turned on in the BIOS of this machine, otherwise it won't boot from USB. I should also mention, because the error might be connected to ACPI, that I can't turn off ACPI in the bios.</p>

At the time Shotwell's photo viewer lacked many significant features that EoG offered, including pan-and-zoom and a thumbnail strip view of all images in the current directory. EoG's metadata viewer (Image -> Properties) is also more thorough than Shotwell's.</p>\n\n<p>That said, we're constantly looking to improve Shotwell and all these items I've mentioned are slated for inclusion at some point.

<p>The relevant bits from <code>lspci -v | grep VGA</code> are:</p>
<pre><code>00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT216 [GeForce GT 330M] (rev a2)
</code></pre>
<p>So as you can see this is one of those hybrid graphics laptops. Now, I have no interest in any kind of switching. I would like to completely disable the Intel Graphics thats on the processor.</p>
<p>I checked in the xorg.log file and it shows that the intel card is in use.</p>
<p>From <code>lsmod</code> I see it uses the i915 module. I tried blacklisting that module in <code>/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf</code> but that didn't really work because i still couldn't use the nvidia card for display.</p>
<p>I wish there was a BIOS option to disable, but there isn't. Some people have also suggested changing the SATA mode to compatibility, but that does not work either in this case as the intel vga controller still shows up in <code>lspci</code></p>
<p>I tried setting the busid manually in the <code>/etc/X11/xorg.conf</code> file but it still didn't work. It gave me an error that said something along the lines of screen not detected. any bits of xorg.log that you'd like me to attach?</p>
<p>So what I am looking for is some solution that allows me to completely disable the use of the intel vga controller. if it was blocked somehow it'd be nice. as if it were not present. Any suggestions? I am desperate here actually. Because I cannot use the HDMI port right now on my laptop for that reason.</p>
<p>My guess is this applies to desktops that also have Core i5 processors with onchip graphics as well as dedicated graphics cards. How would they go about solving the problem?</p>

For some reason every so often (sometimes after one, sometimes after several suspends) when I wake up from a suspend (I'm on a laptop, so every time I close the screen in-between my classes) gnome-do starts devouring the CPU. Trying to use the quit button on gnome-do doesn't work, I have to kill -1 the process.</p>
<p>Apparently it's been a problem for several people as there is at least one <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/do/+bug/450852" rel="nofollow">bug report</a>. According to the bug report it's been fixed, but the release hasn't been pushed into the PPA. So my idea was to have the suspend script kill gnome-do automagically and then I'd just have to start it up again when I wake up (or set that in a wakeup script). Unfortunately my google-fu seems to fail me - I've found plenty of info about shutdown and logout, but nothing on suspend.</p>
<p>Any pointers? Thanks!</p>

Most of them use shared internet connection over LAN where they cannot open ports for allowing me access their machines over ssh. Is it possible to ssh into a machine without opening ports. For example services like Teamviewer allow users to just accept a connection request from outside, and if the owner of the machine permits, then the machine can be used by authenticated users. So, similarly, if the owner of the machine permits, with some kind of authentication, one should be able to get ssh access to a machine without opening the ports on the NAT router.</p>

Several weeks ago, I found that while using NPR's media player (e.g. click on '<a href="http://www.npr.org/2010/11/11/131244107/friday-live-chat-with-danger-mouse-composer-daniele-luppi-at-1-p-m-et" rel="nofollow">Listen to the Show</a>' - this is what I've been using as a test) the stream would suddenly halt after a minute or three. I could not get the stream to restart without reloading the page. Now, I assumed this was an issue with NPR's player and Linux (or just a bug in their stuff in general) so I began to dig, the following is what I have tried to date (please note, the tldr; option is to skip to the latest thing as I think I know what is causing the problem).</p>
<p>Note: All testing has been done, for consistency purposes, on a clean install of Chromium with no pluggins running. My machine is Ubuntu 10.10x64.</p>
<ol>
<li>First thing I always try, I disabled all firewall stuff on the system (UFW, default deny all, allow ssh). No change, firewall back up for all additional tests unless otherwise noted. In any case, UFW is stateful, so connections it started on a non-specified on different ports will continue to work.</li>
<li>I deleted my ~/.macromeda and ~/.adobe folders, restarted (just to be sure) and tried. Program still froze.</li>
<li>I decided the problem might be with my install of flash, so I purged the version I had (and the home folders again). I installed the x64 version of flash from a PPA. This had no effect.</li>
<li>I decided that the problem might be with the version of flash, so I purged the x64 version and installed the standard x32 version that comes with Ubuntu. No luck.</li>
<li>Back to the x64 version for consistency, I decided to set up a 64-bit mini 'clone' of my system in VirtualBox. I was able to run the media player with no problem.</li>
<li>I rsynced (in archive mode) my home directory from my real machine to the virtual machine (with bridged networking, so it was fully visible on the network). I also used a few tricks to install ALL of the same software (and repositories) from the real machine to the virtual machine. I was still able to listen to the player.</li>
<li>I decided that the problem was with my install (after all, it had gone through two major version upgrades). As I have /home/ on a separate partition it was easy to reinstall and use the same trick from #6 to have my system up and running again within about an hour. I continue to have issues with the NPR Media Player.</li>
<li>By this point the weekend had come. At work, I use a wired connection while at home I use a wireless connection. For some reason I forgot that I was having problems and used the NPR Media Player over the weekend. Low and behold it worked just fine at home on wireless (note: for various reasons, I could not test this on wired at home).</li>
<li>Following from #6, I decided that the problem was either something with the network at work or still something with my account. As the latter was easier to test, I created a new account on my system and used that at work. The Media Player worked.</li>
<li>At a loss, I decided to watch the traffic with tshark (the text based brother of wireshark) - X's to protect the innocent, I am the XXX.24.200.XXX:</li></ol>
<blockquote>
<p>sudo tshark -i eth0 -p -t a -R "ip.addr == XXX.24.200.XXX && ip.addr == XXX.166.98.XXX"</p>
</blockquote>
<p>As you would expect, there were tons and tons of packets, but each and every time the player froze, this is what I got</p>

<p>So, as you can see, my machine is sending out a ZeroWindow packet (which I think means some buffer or another filled up) which causes the Media Player to halt (unfortunately, terminally - no controls on it really do anything anymore). Any ideas, at all, what would cause this? Why only on eth0 under my main account?</p>

<p>Avidemux seems to let you do this easily: just open the video, select a start and end frame, and hit save. This doesn't seem to be the case with Pitivi, though: "save" doesn't save a video, but a project; to save the video I have to hit "render project", and then I'm seemingly forced to re-encode the video because Pitivi just won't save the video "as it was".</p>
<p>Is this indeed the way Pitivi works, or am I missing something here?</p>

Cutting/splitting videos without re-encoding can only be done in \"Copy\" mode.\nIt also means that no video filters can be applied.</p>\n\n<p>The \"Copy\" mode works by copying the raw compressed video from the original file (container) into the new file (container). That's why you can't use video filters in this mode.\nYou might have noticed that this cutting doesn't actually work always with exact precision. Effectively, \"Copy\" mode can only split on keyframes, and that means that unless you chose a keyframe to split on, your resulting video will have a few more frames than what you intended.\nUsually too few to notice, but they are there anyway.\nHowever, with some specific codecs, Avidemux can do \"Smartcopy\" <a href=\"http://www.avidemux.org/admWiki/doku.php?id=using:cutting\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">as explained here on the website</a></p>\n\n<blockquote>\n <p>If your file uses MSMPEG-4 (DivX ;-) 3) or MPEG-4 video, you can use smart copy mode. Smart copy will leave most frames unchanged, but re-encode the part that lost its reference images with a fixed quantizer. So in our example, frames ab and nop would remain unchanged, while frames jkl would be re-encoded to use a different reference frame. Smart copy will ask you for a value for the quantizer to use – 4 or 5 is generally OK.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>So you still get some video re-encoding, though minimal.</p>\n\n<p>PiTiVi is a Non-Linear video editor first and foremost, and so it doesn't have a \"copy\" mode, which would prevent any track-mixing and any video effects. Which I think is good, because people would turn it on, and you would get complaints that the video effects don't work :)</p>\n",

<p>Don't know what happened to my Ubuntu installation. Anyone can give me some help to fix the problem?</p>
<p>Update:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>i tried to install ndiswrapper but it didn't work with the original windows driver from the manufacturer of my wlancard. then i deinstalled. now at the moment the state is that ubuntu doesn't recognize the wlan card since it has deleted the standart driver when i activated ndiswrapper. I need an advice to activate the original driver (sudo modprobe wl doesn't work, Fatal: module wl not found)</p></li>
<li><p>now i managed to reload the original driver via
modprobe wifimodulename
Wifi works again.</p></li>
</ol>
<p><strong>changed issue: I now use the backport wireless drivers and i have the full wifi speed now again but sometimes after a time i use the wifi connection the speed again decreases to under 1MBit or even more bad to under 0.1MBit.

<p>The whole idea behind the Windows based media centres that are out there is that you spend as little time as possible configuring them (in theory, if you have a Windows home, they should just work). An Ubuntu (Linux) based alternative should have the same sort of 'take it out of the box and start playing' setup.</p>

<p>I've got a Brother MFC-8840D. Works great with Ubuntu server! Setting up a CUPS print server was pretty straightforward, and I also finally got network scanning working reliably with saned. Printing documents and Web pages works well: fonts are crisp/clear, etc.</p>
<p>One issue has got me completely vexed: printing raster (ie: JPG) images. They are blurry. For example, I can scan a page of black and white text at 150 or 300 dpi. The grayscale image looks perfect on my monitor. But the printed version is much blurrier than the original, regardless of the "print resolution" dpi I choose.</p>
<p>As a counterexample, if I use the "copy" function of the MFC-8840D, the copy looks excellent, and this function is much, much faster than if I scan then print a scan of same.</p>
<p>I've googled around a bunch and tried different tricks (printing a PDF with the image from evince, printing with Gimp, EOG and other applications) but I just can't print anything that looks as good as a copy made with the MFC-8840D.</p>
<p>Any ideas?</p>
<p>I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS server. I'm using the <a href="http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_prn.html#MFC-8840D" rel="nofollow">PPD file from solutions.brother.com</a>.</p>

15774 | 1 | null | 2010-12-01T22:26:39.563 | 2 | 4370 | <p>I have a non-Linux partition I want to encrypt with LUKS. The goal is to be able to store it by itself on a device without Linux and access it from the device when needed with an Ubuntu Live CD.</p>
<p>I know LUKS can't encrypt partitions in place, so I created another, unformatted partition of the <strong>exact</strong> same size (using GParted's "Round to MiB" option) and ran this command:</p>
<pre><code>sudo cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/xxx
</code></pre>
<p>Where xxx is the partition's device name. Then I typed in my new passphrase and confirmed it. Oddly, the command exited immediately after, so I guess it doesn't encrypt the entire partition right away? Anyway, then I ran this command:</p>
<pre><code>sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/xxx xxx
</code></pre>
<p>Then I tried copying the contents of the existing partition (call it yyy) to the encrypted one like this:</p>
<pre><code>sudo dd if=/dev/yyy of=/dev/mapper/xxx bs=1MB
</code></pre>
<p>and it ran for a while, but exited with this:</p>
<pre><code>dd: writing `/dev/mapper/xxx': No space left on device
</code></pre>
<p>just before writing the last MB. I take this to mean the contents of yyy was truncated when it was copied to xxx, because I have dd'd it before, and whenever I have dd'd to a partition of the exact same size, I never get that error. (and fdisk reports they are the same size in blocks).</p>
<p>After a little Googling I discovered all luksFormat'ted partitions have a custom header followed by the encrypted contents. So it appears I need to create a partition exactly the size of the old one + however many bytes a LUKS header is.</p>
<p>What size should the destination partition be, no. 1, and no. 2, am I even on the right track here?</p>
<h3>Update</h3>
<p>I found this in the LUKS FAQ:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>I think this is overly complicated. Is there an alternative? </li>
</ul>
<p>Yes, you can use plain dm-crypt. It does not allow multiple
passphrases, but on the plus side, <strong>it
has zero on disk description</strong> and if
you overwrite some part of a plain
dm-crypt partition, exactly the
overwritten parts are lost (rounded up
to sector borders).</p>
</blockquote>
<p>So perhaps I shouldn't be using LUKS at all?</p>

So let me try to clarify the terms first of all:</p>\n\n<p>The way Windows shares files and printers is called <strong>SMB</strong>. The people from the <strong>SAMBA</strong> project have implemented all of Microsoft's protocols and specifications for Linux. Ubuntu therefore supports the same sort of file sharing as Windows, which is called Samba.</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><p><strong>You can use SAMBA to share files between Linux machines.</strong> In fact, you might prefer it in case you have, for example, have a friend over with their Windows computer.</p></li>\n<li><p>Alternatively, you can use <em>The Linux Way</em> of sharing files, which is NFS (Network File System) - <a href=\"https://askubuntu.com/questions/8534/share-files-and-printer-between-2-ubuntu-boxes/8573#8573\">This answer to a previous question</a> explains how to do it. (but it's rather technical)</p></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>So, when the Sharing Options dialogue asks you to install the packages, you're not actually installing any Microsoft software or anything like that. Go ahead and do it, it's perfectly safe.</p>\n\n<p>Addendum:</p>\n\n<p>You can try to just enable sharing before you follow Salih Emin's instructions; if it doesn't work, you will get a simple warning, you can then do the steps Salih describes if needed. I have tried it on a freshly installed and up-to-date system, and I indeed needed to do this.</p>\n",

15826 | 1 | 15838 | 2010-12-02T05:39:33.127 | 5 | 7328 | <p>Currently I am using Squid3 on my netbook, which has an Atom N450 processor and 1 GB of RAM running ubuntu. The proxy is used to share the internet connection with a small group of PC's (3 machines) over ad-hoc wi-fi. Another reason for using squid cache is to bring down data usage, as my internet connection come with a usage limit of 2 Gbits per month. I found that squid3 is little heavier for my netbook, as the processor fan will be always active whenever squid is being used. I have plans to go for Polipo, as it is lighweight, and better performance results according to <a href="https://www.irif.fr/%7Ejch/software/polipo//bench.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this test</a>. But in the documentation for Polipo, there is no information about HTTPS support, and I always access sites which use HTTPS on my LAN Pc's. So, would Polipo be a better solution for my requirements? Efficient data caching is my first priority, and cached data shouldn't get deleted during reboots.</p>

<p>Any idea how to get Ubuntu and the various tools to recognise this as a 2.80GHz processor? And ideally to report the actual speed when running in turbo mode too, but that's not critical.</p>
<p>Edit: I should probably add that the BIOS (& Windows) are quite happy that it's a 2.80GHz CPU.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

I'm thinking about buying an iPad, but I only have Ubuntu PCs these days (no Windows, no Mac), and I'm nervous that it may be too reliant on the existence of iTunes. I'm less concerned about getting media onto and off it (and I have read that I can do this with <a href="http://www.libimobiledevice.org/">libimobiledevice</a>), but will I be able to activate it with iTunes? Does it need to be USB synced on a regular basis, or can I do most anything I want through the cloud (i.e. over wifi)?</p>
<p><strong>Edit</strong>: In answer to jrgifford's question, in theory, I'd like to do everything I would want to do with it were I using Windows/Mac. But more specifically, I think I'd want to:</p>
<ul>
<li>"Activate" it, if that's necessary</li>
<li>Copy music / video onto it</li>
<li>Install apps</li>
</ul>
<p>How much of this can I do without a Windows/Mac PC? Is it necessary to activate it?</p>
<p>I don't think I'm that interested in backing it up (what would I back up?), but then again, maybe I'm confused as to how easy it is to get data on and off. Can I get a regular SFTP app for the iPad to copy data to my Ubuntu machine over wi-fi, for example?</p>

<p>In fact I would be satisfied with just emacs23-nox, a couple of plugins - from apt. But I can neither --purge nor --purge reinstall, nor remove the packages. It always processes until this certain bug.

15883 | 1 | 15889 | 2010-12-02T15:04:00.850 | 2 | 12096 | <p>I have a Windows 7 virtual machine running on the closed-source edition of Virtualbox, which has USB support. I want the VM to directly access a USB wireless adaptor, but can't attach the adaptor because it is in use. In this case I do need Windows to directly access the card and configure the wireless settings; configuring it in Ubuntu and bridging it will not suffice.</p>
<p>As soon as I plug in the USB stick, Network Manager is a bit too keen and grabs hold of it. Adding the below to <code>/etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf</code> does cause Network Manger to not automatically manage the adaptor yet it remains inaccessible to VirtualBox.</p>
<pre><code>[keyfile]
unmanaged-devices=mac:00:11:22:33:44:55
</code></pre>
<p>How can prevent anything from using the adaptor, so that I can attach it to the VM?</p>

<p>After Installation I've installed wicd and ndiswrapper, to get my Internet Connection up and running. However, after changing <code>/etc/network/interfaces</code> from</p>
<pre><code>auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
</code></pre>
<p>To</p>
<pre><code>auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
</code></pre>
<p>and running <code>sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart</code> to get wlan0 set up, wicd just suddenly connected... to my modem. Without supplying any information about the modem whatsoever. Of course wicd creates a local directory at <code>~/.wicd/</code>, but that directory is empty, and the temporary global configuration at <code>/var/lib/wicd/configurations/</code> didn't exist due to fresh installation of ubuntu.</p>
<p>So what's the deal? Where did wicd get the ESSID and the WPA Key?</p>
<p>There hasn't been any activity in this question, but it's still open (and even worth some rep)!</p>

<p>We can see the individual disks via the disk management program but can not mount the partitions, does anyone have any suggestions?</p>

15936 | 1 | 16019 | 2010-12-02T20:17:00.970 | 3 | 7054 | <p>I had an Ubuntu 9/Windows 7 dual boot. (I almost never use the Windows side, actually.)</p>
<p>Ubuntu was bugging me to update, so I tried it (backing up everything first). Somehow, the update failed (I think because someone turned the computer off at the socket half way through). The computer now refuses to boot into Ubuntu.</p>
<p>Now I have an Ubuntu 10.10 install disk. I want to use it to overwrite the existing Ubuntu installation, while leaving the Windows installation alone. I got as far as the advanced "select a partition" section, but I had no way of knowing which partition was which.</p>
<p>What I have is</p>
<pre><code>/dev/sda
/dev/sda1 nfts
/dev/sda2 nfts
/dev/sda5 ext4
/dev/sda6 swap
</code></pre>
<p>So, I want to leave the NFTS partitions alone (why do I have two of them?) and install Ubuntu 10.10 on <code>/dev/sda5</code>. Is that right? I'm not sure what <code>/dev/sda6</code> is used for. What is a "swap area" anyway? I think I'll leave it alone.</p>
<p>So I selected <code>/dev/sda5</code> and told the installer to use it as the "Ext4 journaling file system". The <strong>Install</strong> button lights up, but when I click it I'm told that no root file system is defined. How do I go about defining a root file system?</p>
<p>GParted shows this slightly differently:</p>

The problem occurs when you plug a USB 1.1 device at the same USB HUB where you are using the USB 2.0 device then it defaults to the lowest. Is there a solution for it? A solution where I can use both device at the same time without get slow transfer rate.</p>
