<p>Sometime while downloading a torrent, I cannot browse on the internet with a browser. Or if I can it is extremly slow.</p>
<p>I opened the correct port on my router. I limited the upload download to a reasonable amount (50/5, my upload is very bad). I don't not allow transmission to use PnP and NAT-PMP. And this doen't seem to be related to the download speed of a particular torrent: before limiting download I could download at 800ko/s and have no problem and sometime the problems occurs with download at 3ko/s.</p>
<p>Is anyone else having this problem?</p>
<p>I really don't understand, isn't opening the correct port and disabling plug n play suppose to make transmission not interfere with http?</p>

16726 | 1 | null | 2010-12-09T09:14:09.707 | 3 | 1191 | <p>When I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.4 (Maverick), the upgrade process got stuck on the post-installation of the CUPS package. I had to kill processes and run several forced updates before I could finally get regular updated. Ever since I can't print - The printed file gets messed up and crashes the printer. I also can't re-install CUPS, as each time the installation hangs and I have to kill it before it completes.</p>
<p>I tried to find a workaround for this problem, but in vain. Does anyone know how to bypass this? Or at least why can the post-installation hang, and how to re-install a problematic package?</p>
<p>Some system specs and other hints: Dell D630 laptop running Ubuntu 10.4, Gnome desktop, standard LAN network, printing to an LPD server. Everything worked fine on 9.10. Also, the printed files themselves are not corrupted. The problem does not seem to be Evince-specific, but common to all printouts.</p>

16730 | 1 | null | 2010-12-09T09:35:07.727 | 9 | 7112 | <p>I use auto-mounting of external USB devices, and it works as expected, except that NTFS partitions are mounted with executability flag on. For example:</p>
<pre><code>/dev/sdb1 on /media/Elements type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096,default_permissions)
</code></pre>
<p>All normal files are <code>-rwxrwxrwx</code> on this partition. I am not happy with the <code>x</code>s. I know I can have it mounted the way I want if I pass the <code>fmask=0111</code> option.</p>
<p>Now I use Lucid, and suppose it uses some new auto-mounting mechanism (<code>gvfs-mount</code>?), but I don't really know how the default mounting options can be changed now. Gconf settings in <code>/system/storage/default_options/ntfs/mount_options</code> have no effect.</p>
<p>So, how do I make <code>fmask=0111</code> the default automounting option for all NTFS partitions? (I'd be grateful also if someone explains how the current automounting mechanism works, how to configure it<strike>, and if the default mounting options are hard-coded, what I have to recompile to change them</strike>).</p>
<p>I know that I can put a line in the <code>/etc/fstab</code> and/or mount manually, but this is not the solution I want, because 1) I don't want to edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> for each and every external drive I use, 2) fstab records appear in the Places pane of Nautilus, even if the drives are not present. The questions is how to change the <em>defaults</em>.</p>
<p>Update: <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/16730/#17913">installing <code>udisks 1.0.1+git20100614</code></a> or later gives more sensible defaults for NTFS, the problem which remains is how the user can specify arbitrary mount options.</p>

16732 | 1 | 16744 | 2010-12-09T09:50:33.220 | 6 | 15479 | <p>For some reason when I try to upload photos to facebook from the website, it tells me I need to upgrade my flash player:</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/518dy.png" alt="facebook photo uploader"></p>
<p>I definitely have flash installed, as can be seen in the picture, and working fine in youtube etc. </p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/nUe10.png" alt="flash version"></p>
<p>My question is two-fold:</p>
<p>1) Does anyone know if this a problem with the version of flash I'm running, Ubuntu, or facebook itself? I get the same problem in Chrome and Firefox, so I know it's not the browser.</p>
<p>2) Is there a workaround or fix for this? As far as I can tell I'm running the very latest flash (on 64-bit Ubuntu 10.10) - but maybe that's the problem?</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Before everyone starts jumping up and down about using Shotwell or Digikam or some such to upload photos to facebook, I know about these (and do use Shotwell at times). Unfortunately Shotwell only lets you upload to a <strong>Profile</strong>, but doesn't (as far as I can tell) let you upload to a facebook <strong>Page</strong> of which I am an administrator, so I am forced do it through the website. Using the <em>simple uploader</em> as seen in the first picture is horribly slow and tedious, and often times out while uploading.</p>
<p>Of course if anyone knows of any alternate ways to upload to facebook <strong>pages</strong> I'd love to hear 'em!</p>

For example WOW,1024x768</p>\n\n<p><code>\" \"</code> - After the variables for /desktop the stuff inside the double quotes is the executable. You do not need to have it inside quotes but just in case you have spaces you will need them.</p>\n\n<p><code>-opengl -console</code> - This are only parameters that WOW uses. You can put the parameters for a game after all has been typed as you can see in the above example for wow.</p>\n\n<p>This took me almost a whole year to find and use since sometimes users wanted 2 or 3 opened programs at the same time.

16738 | 1 | 30944 | 2010-12-09T11:31:37.430 | 5 | 688 | <p>I installed JACK and <b>DJPlay</b> on Ubuntu 10.10, they seem to launch and connect fine.<br>
Then I open audio files in DJPlay, and start playing them, the oscilloscopes start moving.</p>
<p>But <b>no sound comes out</b>.</p>
<p>I am a newbie so I left everything configured as default.<br>
Maybe it is just that I don't know how to use DJPlay and there is just a button to press somewhere? In the screenshot, note how the levels are moving in the "mixer" window but no signal in the levels in the upper-right side of the screen, not sure what it means.<br>
<b>Any idea?</b></p>

(I'm running Debian/Gnome, so if you're on Debian or Ubuntu I suspect this procedure will work - on other distros there may be some differences).</p>\n\n<p>First, start JACK control BEFORE you start DJPlay. Wait for it to display 'Started' in the display window. (If it doesn't get this far, then you probably have a problem with JACK). After it has started, then start DJPlay. Then, go back to the JACK control and click on 'Connect'. On the 'Audio' tab you should see 'DJPlay' in the 'Readable Clients' list, and both 'DJPlay' and 'system' in the 'Writable Clients' list. Expand 'DJPlay' in the left list, and 'system' in the right list. In the left list, click on 'player_1_left', then in the right list click on an item - on my system they show up as 'playback_1', 'playback_2', etc.. Then click on the 'Connect' button. A line should appear between left and right lists. Repeating the process, connect 'player_2_left' to 'playback_1', then connect 'player_1_right' to 'playback_2', then 'player_2_right' to 'playback_2'. This should connect the left and right outputs of both DJPlay decks to the left and right inputs of your computer sound system. If you play something in DJPlay, you should now hear it.</p>\n\n<p>There has to be a better, more automated way to do this; if I find it I'll try to post directions.</p>\n\n<p>I don't have a real-time kernel so I can't use the real-time option. I hear some squeaks that indicate the sound processing isn't quite keeping up with its task, so I'm going to need a dedicated computer with an RT kernel to get this working properly. But before I set that up, I'm going to play a bit to see if DJPlay is worth the effort. Good luck getting your setup running!</p>\n",

<p>At home, I have no issues with the wireless from my Linksys WRT54G router with WPA2 security.</p>
<p>On campus at my university, my netbook constantly connects to and disconnects from the unsecured wireless (that you must provide credentials to access). Sometimes, if I'm lucky, it will stay connected for 5 minutes and I can check my email before it kicks off again.</p>
<p>This was not an issue before 10.10. I believe I was running a proprietary Broadcom driver in previous releases of Ubuntu, but under "Additional Drivers" I no longer find any options for drivers.</p>
<p>Any help?</p>
<p>Please let me know if there's more information that would be helpful (and how I could go about retrieving it).</p>

<p>I've just paid for Ubuntu Music and downloaded the app for my Android phone, but it appears Ogg Vorbis files are not supported. This is a definite deal breaker and I think I'm going to cancel until this is added, unless this feature is imminent. How soon is this likely to be added? </p>

<a href="https://launchpad.net/popper" rel="nofollow">https://launchpad.net/popper</a></p>
<p>I configured it, and the TEST tab shows I configured everything properly. I can't get Popper to appear in the notification menu. I have restarted gnome-pannel, restarted my computer, reinstalled the app. No luck. I checked the /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/ folder, and there's only the defaults there.</p>
<p>Anyone know how to fix this? Even if someone knows what file I can drop into that folder to make it work that'd be great.</p>
<p>Edit: I wonder if it's because I removed the evolution-indicator package?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

16777 | 1 | null | 2010-12-09T17:50:10.233 | 6 | 62832 | <p>I have a machine that I just installed Ubuntu Server on. The only problem is that I do not know how to connect it to a wireless network, and I cannot use a network cable to connect it to my router.</p>
<p>When trying to list the network cards, only the loopback interface showed up:</p>
<pre><code>$ ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host

</code></pre>
<p>which was unexpected, as both my Ethernet network interface (<code>eth0</code>) and wireless network interface (<code>wlan0</code>) showed up when doing the same in a fresh installation of Ubuntu Desktop 10.10.</p>
<p>So, my two questions are:</p>
<ul>
<li>how can I install the wireless drivers (and packages I could download etc.) and/or set up the wireless network interface to work properly, and</li>
<li>how can I connect to a WPA-encrypted wireless network from the command line?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p>
<p>I ended up uninstalling Ubuntu Server and installing Ubuntu Desktop instead, then configuring the wireless network through the GUI and making it boot into command line instead of GNOME.</p>

<p>I think I need to file a bug on the linux kernel but I am not sure. I've heard the term "quirk" being thrown around by developers when it comes to fixing something so that it works on certain pieces of hardware. </p>
<p>Is this indeed a kernel bug? What steps should I take to ensure that this gets reported so that everyone with my laptop doesn't have to go through this over and over?</p>

<p>Instead of Unity I only got a white screen, I'm not 100% sure what the problem was, but it should have to do with my Radeon Xpress graphics card I think.</p>

<li><p>I haven't changed any configuration to do with input devices in the mean time.</p></li>
<li><p><code>xev</code> doesn't seem to recognize the buttons. The others work well. Even the weird zoom-slider on this mouse is recognized by xev. It's only the forwards and back buttons that don't do anything.</p></li>

<p>The mouse is a Logitech VX Revolution in case that's important. </p>

<p>The back button has just started working, after an update. I'm confused. :P</p>

<p>Now I've read and gone through a bunch of tutorials and guides to working around this, none of which have worked. I have gone through <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/40116?comments=all" rel="nofollow">this Ubuntu bug report</a> and that doesn't work either.</p>
<p>The problem I think is that the latest workaround is (understandably) about two Ubuntu versions behind. Now I'm not sure what has changed since then to make that workaround not work, but I would appreciate any help.</p>

<li><p>My laptop is a somewhat older one, with a 2Ghz centrino Core 2 Duo processor, an NVidia GeForce Go 7300 graphics card, and 2 gigabytes of system RAM. Compiz+Emerald works flawless and super fast on this computer in every aspect. </p></li>
<li><p>My workstation is a dual core (not Core Duo) 2.5GHz system, with a 1GB GeForce 9500GT card and 4 gigabytes of system RAM. 3D performance with Compiz is super slow here though, and other operations feel heavy as well.

<p>My settings for power management is basically:</p>
<ul>
<li>on AC power, don't spin down
harddrive, dont suspend or anything</li>
<li>on battery power, basically save as
much power as possible</li>

16813 | 1 | null | 2010-12-10T00:54:57.590 | 4 | 2956 | <p>When I first ran Ubuntu from CD on this Dell Inspiron 2650, it worked for about ten to fifteen minutes, then it hung (I was probably trying to do too much at once from a Live CD). The next time, my mouse and keyboard didn't work. I rebooted three times and finally got them working. I then installed Ubuntu alongside Windows XP.</p>
<p>After installing, selecting the OS in GRUB worked, but my touchpad and keyboard were again not working. I rebooted, and they worked. (I fortunately had a USB mouse with which to reboot.)</p>
<p>Booting Ubuntu and then rebooting to enable my keyboard and touchpad has become a routine ever since. Often several reboots are required; at one point I had to reboot over a dozen times in a row before getting a session where everything worked properly. (My installation has been in place for about <del>three days</del> a week now.) I've looked around for a device manager equivalent to no avail.</p>
<p>Sometimes the hardware is properly detected, and sometimes it's not. Once or twice I've had the keyboard detected properly but the touchpad not.</p>
<p>Plugging in my wireless card also sometimes requires a plug, unplug, and plug again to get it working.</p>
<p>So is there some solution? I'm without an Internet connection at home, and this "laptop" is really a wall wart on my desk, so suggestions for packages may take a while to test.</p>
<h3>Xorg logs</h3>
<p>I captured <del>two</del> <del>three</del> four sample Xorg logs: one from a startup where the devices worked; one from when they didn't; one from a session where Ubuntu thought my touchpad was a normal mouse; and one from a session where my keyboard worked but the touchpad didn't.</p>
<p><a href="https://gist.github.com/736863" rel="nofollow noreferrer">See this gist</a>. Updated 2010-12-15 01:50 UTC with <code>Xorg.0.log.keyboardonly</code> file illustrating the case where the keyboard worked but not the touchpad. Updated 2011-01-11 04:10 UTC with <code>Xorg.0.log.touchpadregmouse</code> to illustrate a case where the touchpad was detected as a regular mouse (no "Touchpad" tab in mouse prefs).</p>

<p>EDIT - I've tried all kinds of options, including resetting all the settings on the plugin, still no change. I can't zoom, even if I change the keys. If it helps, restraining the mouse to the zoom area makes it jump to one side of the screen.</p>

<pre><code>error: No such device ###############################

</code></pre>
<p>I couldn't boot to Windows or Ubuntu anymore... When I finally acquired a Live boot CD. I reinstalled grub2 and tried to boot again, but of course it's not configured to boot to anything (still need to figure out how to do that). What is strange is that when I run <code>sudo fdisk -l</code> from the Live CD terminal I get:</p>
<pre><code> Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

</code></pre>
<p>This certainly looks like my hardrive. I have around 200GB dedicated to Windows and 50 to Ubuntu, but why is Ubuntu NTFS? When I try exploring my Ubuntu partition I can't find much (Windows files are fine though). I'll happily give you more information if you ask.</p>

<p>My dashboard on ubuntu one shows that I have 14.5mb in the files tab, but under the files section, it is saying the "Lets get started with syncing your files." I have synced and stopped syncing folders with files just to test out how it worked., but I don't think it was 14.5mb worth of files. Is there a way to reset or clear an account? Who would I contact about this issue?</p>

The page is under tomcat_home/webapps/myapp and the below are tomcat virtual hosting in server.xml file:</p>

</code></pre>
<p>Recently a new domain has been bought(xyz.mydomain.com) and I'm asked to do the virtual hosting so that the new domain name directly points the page "admin.jsp" which is located under 'tomcat_home/webapps/myapps/WE-INF/js/'. How could I do this?</p>
<p>If I type <a href="http://abc.mydomain.com/admin" rel="nofollow">http://abc.mydomain.com/admin</a> I'll get the page what I wanted. I should access the page just by typing <a href="http://xyz.mydomain.com" rel="nofollow">http://xyz.mydomain.com</a>.</p>

<p>Everything seems to work, but one glaring problem is the fact that the gtk theme configured for each OS seems to conflict. If I set the default system theme in Fedora, then it looks broken in Ubuntu. If I do the same in Ubuntu, it is broken in Fedora. I'm under the impression that it should be possible to have each OS use a separate theme, and the following tutorial confirms this, but doesn't mention how it is achieved:</p>

<p>As shown, I want to use Fedora's theme in Fedora, and Ubuntu's theme in Ubuntu. How can I have Fedora's and Ubuntu's respective themes co-exist peacefully?</p>

16902 | 1 | null | 2010-12-10T22:03:19.510 | 14 | 4144 | <p>I have a Dell Inspiron 2650 (with NVidia graphics, using nouveau drivers) that I'm using to try out Ubuntu. It's all great, except that Hibernate and Suspend aren't usable.</p>
<p>Yes, I know that questions about power-save issues are rampant in the Linux support universe, but it seems that every time I find a solution it's for a very specific hardware combination and doesn't apply to me. So anyway, here goes.</p>
<p>When I resume from either power-saving mode, I'll get graphics problems anywhere on the range from a few scattered random-colored pixels that won't change; all the way to full-screen patterns that don't change as I move the mouse, hit keys on the keyboard, or even bring up the shutdown dialog using the power button.</p>
<p>Those full-screen issues (which may involve stripes with random pixels, partial black screen, or both) always end in me forcing the machine to shut down by holding the power button.</p>
<p>I haven't done much testing yet to determine what severity level is most commonly associated with each mode, but I do avoid using either power-save option because of these issues.</p>
<p><del>I'll add info on my hardware as I can gather it (no home internet connection, and this laptop is tethered to my desk by a dead battery and casing degradation).</del> Please feel free to request something specific in the question comments.</p>
<h3>Hardware Info</h3>
<p>See <a href="http://bits.technobabbl.es/hardinfo_report.html" rel="noreferrer">this hardinfo report</a> for my system's hardware configuration. (No, my username is not "myuser"; I sanitized hardinfo's output before publishing it.)</p>
<h3>Screenshots</h3>
<p>These screenshots are from a relatively mild occurrence, which happened after the second hibernation I took that session. The first one worked great, though I used the wireless card and Firefox heavily between the two hibernation attempts.</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/cP5Lu.png" alt="enter image description here" /></p>
<p>Take a look at what happened when I opened my home directory in Nautilus and scrolled it:</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/UEnUt.png" alt="enter image description here" /></p>
<p>See below for the situations I've tested so far. The real trouble comes when the machine resumes to an unusable state; in such cases I can't even unlock the screen or properly reboot, much less take a screenshot. I have a hunch that putting a CD in the drive will cause such major failures, and I will try that at some point; <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/17260/various-issues-linked-to-my-cd-drive-when-it-has-a-disc-in-it">see related question</a>.</p>
<h2>Situations Tested</h2>
<h3>Maverick (10.10)</h3>
Suspend
<ul>
<li>Seems to suspend nicely with nothing running</li>
<li>Seems to suspend nicely with flash drive plugged in</li>
<li>On resume from suspend with no flash drive, Terminal and gedit running: Funky graphics on top of log output, then blank screen with pixelated cursor; no response to power button (normally will shutdown 60 seconds later)</li>
</ul>
Hibernate
<ul>
<li>Seems to hibernate nicely with nothing running</li>
<li>Seems to hibernate nicely with a few apps (Terminal, Mouse preferences) running</li>
<li>Seems to not hibernate when flash drive plugged in</li>
<li>Seems to not hibernate when System Monitor is running</li>
<li>Have encountered failed hibernation (after several hours and one successful hibernate/thaw cycle) with no external media connected and no programs running except normal background stuff</li>
</ul>
<h3>Natty LiveCD (11.04_2010-12-22)</h3>
<p>When I tested it, Natty wouldn't stay logged in. It played part of the login sound and then <code>[ OK ]</code> appeared in the top right corner (white-on-black terminal text) for a few seconds. Then it kicked me back to the Unlock screen. It did that four times before I gave up and just tested suspend from the Unlock screen.</p>
Suspend
<ul>
<li>Resumed to vertical gray and black lines 2px (?) wide, then shifted to vertical "jail bars" of black over a black screen with above-described random pixels and mouse pointer. No apparent response to input from mouse (clicking randomly). Keyboard and touchpad unrecognized.</li>
</ul>

<p>I can remove the bookmarks for those folders but then the menu looks ugly as the mounted volumes are still displayed and I can't find a way change their icons in the menu. I've circled the offending menu entries in the screenshot. How can I hide them?</p>

16925 | 1 | 16949 | 2010-12-11T05:15:38.893 | 6 | 2532 | <p>I've got an NAS file server on my local network, in my windows days I just mapped a drive to it and it was just there all the time. I'm having trouble doing the same in Ubuntu. I had done this successfully before using samba-cifs in fstab, but after reconfiguring the box that no longer works and it felt silly since the box itself runs Linux (Busybox I believe).</p>
<p>So at first I tried <strong>sshfs</strong>.
I can access it from the Places -> Connect to Server using ssh, and it'll pull up in Nautilus.
I can also mount it via commandline: <code>sshfs -o idmap=user $USER@<localip>:/mnt/HD_a2 /media/nas-files</code>
and it works fine; however, it asks for a password so I can't add that in rc.local to mount on login.
I've tried editing fstab, unsuccessfully, using this command:</p>
<pre><code>sshfs#shazzner@<localip>:/mnt/HD_a2/files /media/nas-files/ fuse user 0 0
</code></pre>
<p>for some reason this turns the nas-files folder in a binary file, that appears to be garbage. When I unmount it, it comes back fine. No idea.</p>
<p>Second, someone in the chat mentioned, <strong>Autofs</strong>.
I edited auto.master with:</p>
<pre><code>/media/auto /etc/auto.media
</code></pre>
<p>and in auto.media:</p>
<pre><code>nfiles -fstype=fuse,rw,noperm,allow_other,reconnect sshfs\#//<localip>/mnt/HD_a2/files
</code></pre>
<p>then restarted autofs, it gives me no error message but the mount isn't there.</p>
<p>Pulling my hair out with this one, any help?</p>

<p>It seems that the GUI resolution is matched with the channel resolution, so If I'm watching a HD channel, I get a nice GUI but If I'm watching a SD channel, then it's crap. </p>
<p>A couple of screenshots to show the difference:</p>

<p>I haven't found any similar issue in the internet and neither an option in the settings menu of MythTV (backend and frontend). </p>
<p>I have another small problem that you can see in the first screenshot, the channel name is cut (it shows "Telemadri" and the last letter is not completely shown). Anyone know how can I fix this too?</p>

Obtain latest image</h2>\n<p>You should do this with <a href=\"https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/testdrive\" rel=\"noreferrer\">testdrive</a> <a href=\"http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/testdrive\" rel=\"noreferrer\"><img src=\"https://hostmar.co/software-small\" alt=\"Install testdrive\" /></a>.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/Rj1n8.png\" alt=\"TestDrive\" /></p>\n<p><strong>Note.</strong> If your key is smaller than 4.4 GB (for Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal)), you <strong>must</strong> get the alternate installer. The Desktop installer refuses to continue if there is less than 4.4 GB of free disk space.</p>\n<h2>2. Format the USB disk.</h2>\n<p>This is important if you already have anything looking like a Linux install on your disk, or the installer will not want to touch that disk, for some reason. I failed earlier because I didn't perform this step, so skip at your own risk! You need a key that is at least 3 GB in size.</p>\n<p>You can do so from <em>System</em> → <em>Administration</em> → <em>Disk Utility</em>. Choose the destination USB key, unmount all partitions, and select <em>Format Drive.</em></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/wNNA7.png\" alt=\"Disk Utility\" /></p>\n<p>You need to make sure you select "Don't Partition" before it lets you format the disk.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/gkwf2.png\" alt=\"Format drive window.\" /></p>\n<h2>3. Start a virtual machine on the USB key</h2>\n<p>I made sure (with <code>file</code>) that my USB key was in <code>/dev/sdb</code>, then ran:</p>\n<pre><code>sudo qemu-system-x86_64 /dev/sdb -cdrom ~/.cache/testdrive/iso/ubuntu_natty-desktop-i386.iso\n</code></pre>\n<p>...to install the i386 ISO of the Natty Narwhal desktop -- the file name will vary if you download a different ISO image.</p>\n<p>Details for your virtualization solution of choice will vary, but you want to use the <em>device file</em> of your USB key as the VM's hard drive.</p>\n<p>Append <code>-boot order=d</code> to the kvm command to make it boot from the image in case it tries to boot from the 'hard disk' and fails because it cannot find an operating system there.</p>\n<h2>4. Install normally.</h2>\n<p>At this point you are working on a virtual machine that sees your USB key as the only connected hard drive. From inside the "QEMU" window, install as you would normally do.</p>\n<p>A few notes:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><p><strong>Partitioning.</strong> Avoid using the automatic partitioning system, as it will create a swap partition on your USB key. That's no good, as swapping becomes <em>super</em> slow (seconds-long system freezes slow) and quickly kills your drive's life. Simply allocate a single partition for <code>/</code>. If you're using the alternate installer, make sure you set the <code>noatime</code> flag to further reduce the amount of writes to the disk.</p>\n</li>\n<li><p><strong>Updates.</strong> Skip the option to automatically download and install updates. It is not guaranteed that the repositories will be in a consistent state by the time you run the installer. Personally, I'd rather manage the upgrades manually with a tool such as <a href=\"https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/aptitude.html\" rel=\"noreferrer\">aptitude</a> (which does no longer ship with Ubuntu by default).</p>\n</li>\n<li><p><strong>Alpha-quality software.</strong> Things are a little wonky -- it is alpha quality software, after all. I had <code>dpkg</code> exiting with error code 1 without being able to review the error - no packages were broken as a result, however. I tried to shutdown the virtual machine cleanly after the setup, but it hung. On a reboot, however, the system booted fine.</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>5. Reboot and boot into your copy of Ubuntu</h2>\n<p>You may need to fiddle with your BIOS settings to make this work.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>A nice (or annoying, based on your use case) thing about Ubuntu on a USB is that next time it'll refresh GRUB, it'll also detect and add to the list the kernels and operative systems on the HDD. This should let you boot straight into your HDD from your USB key's GRUB.</p>\n",

I navigate through the page line with Home and End, and when I want to mark a line I use them in a combination with the Shift key. Pretty basic stuff right? Well I don't know how to do it in Ubuntu 10.04. The Home and End keys work but if I hold the Shift key it inputs respectively 7 and 1. If I turn the NumLock on it works but if I am not holding the Shift key it prints 7 and 1 again. Is there any way I can use my keyboard in Ubuntu the same way I do in Windows?</p>
<p>P.S. My roomy is much more experienced than me in Linux so he suggested that xmodmap might work, but even if this is the approach I should take, I still don't want to dig into the whole documentation, just the cliff notes for this exact task if you please.</p>
