<p>Proof: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30CnqRK0GHE&NR=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30CnqRK0GHE&NR=1</a> at 7:36 video time.</p>
<p>If you want to be anonymous on the internet (so that nobody can find you when you download something, etc.) you need this EUI-64 to be bipassed in order for the MAC address not to be discovered by harmful third parties on the internet and for privacy.</p>
<p>How do you avoid EUI-64 MAC address usage in IPV6 selection in Ubuntu? Also for DHCP IPV6?</p>

17035 | 1 | null | 2010-12-12T03:54:25.500 | 3 | 8430 | <p>Due to various reasons, I have my main monitor set as the secondary display in <code>xorg.conf</code>. I would like to have gnome initialize <code>metacity</code>, <code>gnome-panel</code> as running primarily on <code>:0.1</code>, instead of <code>:0.0</code>. Is this possible at all?</p>
<p>To clarify, this is a laptop with its LCD turned off. My main monitor is connected to the VGA out and is driven by the <code>nouveau</code> driver for NVIDIA; a secondary monitor is on a displaylink usb-vga donverter. The seconday monitor is set in <code>xorg.conf</code> as the primary display (no way around it).</p>
<p>I can do things like <code>DISPLAY=:0.1 gnome-terminal</code> to run applications on the main monitor. My question is whether it is possible to do this (GNOME-) system-wide.</p>

<p>But the options I've found in <a href="http://shop.canonical.com/index.php?cPath=21" rel="nofollow">Canonical eShop</a> are too expensive for me, the most interesting one "Deploying Ubuntu Server Edition" even costs £1010.54 - an enormous price for me (it's near my half-year income, as I am a sysadmin freelancer in an East European country).</p>
<p>Are there cheaper ways to get certified? I can hardly invest more than €100 in this, but have got some experience already and supposedly can prepare myself. I'd prefer a 100% on-line way.</p>

I abused sudo and accidentally overwrote my /bin/bash file via a typo, so I booted to the LiveCD and restored my copy with a "good" one from the Ubuntu 10.10 LiveOS. This did not fix the problem. Explanation: bash no longer works in gnome-terminal.</p>

<li>keyboard shortcuts no longer work- tab, arrow keys, etc. all insert codes now.</li>
<li>aliases, also a function of bash, do not work.</li>
</ul>
<p>Any help on this? Where do I start? I'd rather learn how to fix this instead of just reinstalling the OS. Thanks!</p>

17072 | 1 | 17073 | 2010-12-12T11:06:15.567 | 7 | 3068 | <p>I have several Ubuntu servers. Two of them are working as DNS servers. One of my name servers (let's call it DNS1) went down for maintenance.
I sill had another DNS server running (DNS2).</p>
<p>All other servers are configured to use the nameservers as follows </p>
<p><code>/etc/resolv.conf</code> :</p>
<pre><code>nameserver DNS1
nameserver DNS2
</code></pre>
<p>I can still resolve DNS names using the DNS2 server, but the name resolution takes a long time. It is clear to me that any given server is first trying to access DNS1, and then it is trying DNS2 after failure.</p>
<p>I tried to swap the two lines. The name resolution became too fast.</p>
<p>I am wondering if there is a way to dynamically change the <code>resolv.conf</code> file based on the state of the configured nameservers. Of course, I can write a shell script myself to do the job. But I prefer to find a better way if there is one.</p>

17077 | 1 | null | 2010-12-12T12:50:29.603 | 4 | 4673 | <p>When I try to put my Ubuntu 10.10 box to sleep or into hibernation, it appears to wake up right away (couple of seconds at most). I am trying to figure out what's going on, and would appreciate any suggestions.</p>
<p><code>syslog</code> says:</p>
<pre>
Dec 12 13:15:25 mig kernel: [13049.728355] pm_op(): usb_dev_suspend+0x0/0x20 returns -2
Dec 12 13:15:25 mig kernel: [13049.728357] PM: Device usb3 failed to suspend async: error -2
Dec 12 13:15:25 mig kernel: [13049.728451] PM: Some devices failed to suspend
</pre>
<p>Now, how do I find out which device is <code>usb3</code> and why it's failing to suspend?</p>
<p>The only external USB device in the system is a dongle for wireless keyboard and mouse. If I disconnect it, ssh into the box and run <code>pm-suspend</code>, it still fails with exactly the same error message.</p>
<p><code>lsusb</code> gives:</p>
<pre>
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0020 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0020 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
</pre>
<p>so the setup isn't exactly extravagant. The mobo is Asus P7P55D-E based on the P55 Express chipset.</p>
<p><strong>edit</strong> It turns out <code>usb3</code> wasn't the name of a <em>device</em> but was a reference to the USB 3.0 <em>protocol</em>. If I disable the latter in the BIOS, the box can sleep!</p>
<p><em>This is cross-posted from superuser.com, since there are no answers there and the question is Ubuntu-specific.</em></p>

17084 | 1 | 17095 | 2010-12-12T15:05:30.583 | 60 | 46331 | <p>In the world of Ubuntu, it seems you either <em>always</em> run an FTP server or you <em>never</em> do. Perhaps I'm the first network analyst who's needed to flash a Cisco, Checkpoint or Nokia image using Ubuntu... I need an FTP server for maybe 5 minutes, no more than that.</p>
<p>I'm looking for a bare-bones, user-initiated FTP server. I understand that it would likely have to run with sudo. That's fine - but I want to start/stop it like a normal program.</p>
<p>On the Windows platform, such tools are a dime a dozen - I've used 3CDaemon for years and recently found CoreFTP. Both are excellent. You configure a user, point it at a directory, then hit the "Start" button. A couple of minutes later, you're generally done and you hit the "Stop" button. Job done.</p>
<p>Such tools don't seem to exist on Ubuntu. I found a <a href="http://code.google.com/p/tftpgui/">Google Code project</a> that creates a TFTP instance reasonably nicely (assuming it still runs - I haven't used it in about a year and python has moved on), but how about FTP? Anything out there?</p>

<li>Is there any safe way to do it ? </li>
<li>Download the source and start install all the required dependences is this approach dangerous for the stability of my system ? </li>
</ol>
<p>I googled for a solution of this problem and the only suggestion I found it was to add
the ppa:irie/evince.
I guess this is a not so safe am I right ?
If so it is expected to work with Lucid ?</p>

"body": "<p>Wow, I wrote a lot more than I was planning on. So here's the tl;dr version:</p>\n\n<p>It would be simpler to upgrade the entire system to Maverick than backport Evince 2.32.x to Lucid.</p>\n\n<h2>Is it safe?</h2>\n\n<p>First we need to address the question of whether this is safe. In most instances, installing new versions of so-called \"leaf\" packages will not effect the stability of your system. A \"leaf\" package is a package that provides a standalone application that no other packages depend on. Evince, unfortunately for your purposes, is not entirely a simple \"leaf\" package.</p>\n\n<p>Evince 2.30.x also provides the libraries libevdocument2 and libevview2. While Evince 2.32.x provides libevdocument3 and libevview3. Notice the libraries' have different numbers. This shows that there has been a SONAME bump meaning that there have been incompatible changes to the ABIs of these libraries. Other programs that rely on libevdocument2 and libevview2 may not function with libevdocument3 and libevview3.</p>\n\n<p>Fortunately, at least on my system, there are no other programs that rely on libevdocument2 and libevview2 besides Evince itself. So is it safe? Probably!</p>\n\n<h2>Is ppa:irie/evince safe?</h2>\n\n<p>As with any other PPA, this question comes down to whether or not you trust the owner of the PPA, in this case <a href=\"https://launchpad.net/~irie\" rel=\"nofollow\">irie</a>. There are a few ways that I use to determine whether I trust a PPA like looking at the breadth of their contributions. Are they also a upstream developer? Are they an Ubuntu developer? Does their Launchpad page show on going activity?</p>\n\n<p>As for <a href=\"https://launchpad.net/~irie/+archive/evince\" rel=\"nofollow\">this specific PPA</a>, it seems to introduce change that are not yet upstream:</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n <p>This PPA provides slightly enhanced\n Evince document viewer that pan scroll\n mode (like \"Hand tool\" in Adobe\n Reader) is added. It's probably\n suitable for touch panel based\n computers. The code changes are based\n on a patch written by Stephen Sugden.\n (http://mail.gnome.org/archives/evince-list/2009-June/msg00027.html)</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>But more importantly, it doesn't seem to have packages for Lucid. So it will not help you anyways.</p>\n\n<h2>Backporting it on your own</h2>\n\n<p>So since its safe, is it doable? It depends on just how much you want it. Unfortunately, it would take quite a bit of work to backport Evince 2.32.x to Lucid. Backporting a singe package isn't that much work, but looking at the source code I can see that it's not just Evince that needs backporting. It needs newer versions of libglib2.0-dev, libgtk2.0-dev, libpoppler-glib-dev, and libcairo2-dev that are not available in Lucid. Those are core GNOME libraries that are about the complete opposite of \"leaf\" packages. You would need to backport the entire chain of dependencies.</p>\n\n<p>In short, doing so is very complicated , time consuming, and potentially dangerous.</p>\n",

17101 | 1 | 17243 | 2010-12-12T16:57:21.257 | 4 | 5959 | <p>I encountered an audio bug and <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/689106" rel="nofollow">reported</a> it on Launchpad. There I was asked to reinstall PulseAudio. </p>
<p>That sounded dangerous, so I tried it on a VirtualBox virtual machine I had lying around. (this VM had no sound problems at all). And indeed, after I did a naive <code>sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio</code> -> reboot -> <code>sudo apt-get install pulseaudio</code>, the VM has no sound any more. </p>
<p>Strangely, everything looks OK. There is nothing muted (I unmuted every single playback chanel in alsamixer just in case). The driver for the sound card is recognized and loaded, aplay plays sound files without producing an error, and when I installed and opened PulseAudio Volume Meter, playing a sound resulted in the volume indicator changing with the sound. Only there is nothing coming out of the loudspeakers. This isn't a hardware problem either, because the sound in the host system is functioning. </p>
<p>I tried to configure PulseAudio as described on <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio#ALSA%20Configuration" rel="nofollow">this page</a> of the Ubuntu wiki, but had no success. </p>
<p>I am afraid to try the reinstall on my real system until I know how to do it without causing a problem. Did I miss a configuration step somewhere? Should I have reinstalled in some other way? </p>
<p>Both guest and host systems are Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit. </p>

17125 | 1 | 112089 | 2010-12-12T20:04:15.117 | 3 | 479 | <p>Every now and then I'd like to play with a fresh minimal install of Ubuntu (to test sysadminish scripts, application install instructions, package dependency lists etc.).</p>
<p>I'd like to have a tool as <strong>simple to use</strong> as <a href="https://launchpad.net/testdrive" rel="nofollow">testdrive</a>: pick a version (say, 'maverick'), run a command, get a shell in a new virtual machine.</p>
<p>I'd like that shell to be in the current terminal, rather than a new GUI window that testdrive uses. Setting up the new VM to accept SSH logins with my ssh public key is fine.</p>
<p>I'd like the VM to have network access out of the box; NAT to a virtual network interface is fine.</p>
<p>Why a VM? Chroots don't really cut it: installing, say, Apache in a chroot would fail because it would try to listen on port 80, which is already taken. Containers might work, though, if there are any that are supported by standard Ubuntu kernels.</p>

<pre><code>#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/smbmount "\\\\somehost.local\\hostshare" /media/hostshare -o user=smbuser,dom=WORKGROUP,uid=localuser,gid=localgroup
</code></pre>
<p>This script used to work in 9.10 when called by the "localuser" account, but in my fresh-installed 10.04 it fails giving me the error:</p>
<pre><code>mount error(1): Operation not permitted
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
</code></pre>
<p>The /media/hostshare directory is empty and has these perms:</p>
<pre><code>drwxrwxr-x 2 localuser localgroup 4096 2010-12-12 12:04 hostshare/
</code></pre>
<p>The "localuser" is in these groups:</p>
<pre><code>localgroup adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare
</code></pre>
<p>Any idea what is going on here? Google seems to suggest that the "sticky" bit needs to be set on <code>/sbin/mount.cifs</code> <code>/sbin/mount.smbfs</code> and <code>/sbin/umount.cifs</code></p>
<p>Is this a bug?</p>

17136 | 1 | 17138 | 2010-12-12T21:01:10.837 | 24 | 7166 | <p>Both gnome terminal and terminator (which I am using on my laptop these days) can be customised to look very pretty. By using full screen and keeping desktop clutter down to a minimum it's possible to get a good-sized area to work in, even on my little EeePC.</p>
<p>However, there is one element that I don't seem to be able to control. Gnome's tabs are <em>massively</em> oversized and ugly at best. They don't fit into the theme at all which looks silly, but for me the biggest problem is the screen real estate that is wasted. On a small laptop screen in particular, it's a real problem.</p>
<p>Is there a way to change these tabs? I realize it's possible to put them up the side of the window, but then they take up <em>even more</em> space!</p>
<p>If this isn't possible with theme-ing or gnome configuration, are there any terminal programs like terminator that can handle the tabs themselves? (Ideally in a more elegant fashion!)</p>

17166 | 1 | 17167 | 2010-12-13T03:19:11.183 | 6 | 4325 | <p>I created a shell script <code>/usr/local/bin/suspend</code> with the following content:</p>
<pre><code>#! /bin/sh
# Take an optional delay parameter
if [ "$#" -gt "0" ]; then
sleep "$1"
fi
# Put the system to sleep
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.Hal" \
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer \
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Suspend \
int32:0
</code></pre>
<p>If I <code>chmod +x</code> and run the script by invoking it directly (e.g., just typing <code>suspend</code> or <code>/usr/local/bin/suspend</code> on the command line), nothing happens and the shell hangs—it doesn't even respond to Ctrl-C; I have to switch to a new shell and kill the <code>bash</code> process (which has no apparent children). </p>
<p>The script works fine if I invoke it in any of the following ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>Using <code>sh /usr/local/bin/suspend</code>.</li>
<li>Using <code>. /usr/local/bin/suspend</code>.</li>
<li>Renaming it to <code>suspend.sh</code> and invoking <code>/usr/local/bin/suspend.sh</code> (or just <code>suspend.sh</code>, since it's in the <code>PATH</code>).</li>
</ul>
<p>The last option is fine, but still I wonder: what exactly is wrong with not using the <code>.sh</code> extension?</p>

<p>So I just moved my home folder from the main partition to it's own partition so that I don't have to worry about it dieing if I change distros or upgrade distros.</p>
<p>So the path I took was Boot from live usb. Opened GParted, shrink the main partition, create a new partition out of that. Moved the current /home content to /home_backup. Edited fstab to boot the new partition as home.</p>
<p>I rebooted. I assumed the instructions I was working off of would work, but was a tad confused when through the instructions I never saw anything about copying the /home_backup to the /home directories. Anyways, upon login I got lots of errors, and decided I should check out what went wrong.</p>
<p>I rebooted into recovery mode and listed the contents of /home. Nothing, so I copied /home_backup/don to /home (<code>cp -r</code>).</p>
<p>I rebooted and found that I didn't have ownership of the directory, so I opened the terminal and gave myself ownership (<code>chown don:don /home/don</code>) and rebooted again.</p>
<p>This time when I logged in I found that everything was working, but I didn't have sound. So, as far as I can tell all of my apps are still working, and there are no other errors, but I can't play sound.</p>
<p>The sound icon in my panel is just an empty, blank speaker (I'm using the Faenza icons, the speaker icon is lighter than normal). If I attempt to mute/unmute or raise/lower the volume with my hardware keys, nothing happens. If I click on the icon and choose "Sound Preferences" I get an error saying "<code>Waiting for sound system to respond</code>".</p>
<p>I have restarted the computer twice, I've also reinstalled everything containing the word "alsa" through the synaptic manager.</p>
<p>I would assume it's missing a file, but I'm not sure. Right now I've run a dist-update (for different reasons), so I don't know if that'll have any effect on the problem.</p>

17187 | 1 | 17201 | 2010-12-13T09:08:37.137 | 13 | 14844 | <p>I would like to disable the <code>shutdown</code> command for all users, even root, on an Ubuntu Server installation.</p>
<p>The reason I want to do this is to ensure that I don't get into the habit of shutting down the machine in this way, as I SSH into a lot of production machines at the same time as this one, and I don't want to accidentally shutdown one of the other machines by typing the command into the wrong window.</p>
<p>The server I want do disable shutdown on only runs inside VirtualBox on my Windows desktop, and I only use it for local testing so it is not a problem if I can't shut it down from the command line.</p>
<p>I have already mitigated the problem a bit by ensuring I have a different password on the VirtualBox image, but obviously if I am within the <code>sudo</code> 'window' on one of the production machines, I could still accidentally shut it down.</p>
<p>My questions are:</p>
<ol>
<li>How do I disable the shutdown command?</li>
<li>If I do disable the shutdown command, are there any consequences that I should be made aware of? Most specifically, <strong>will it disable support for ACPI shutdown</strong> that is the equivalent of pressing the power button on a physical machine? Could it affect other generic applications?</li>
</ol>
<p>For information, I just use this VirtualBox image for trying out shell scripts, running Tomcat and Java, and that kind of thing.</p>

But, always, when a new file is generated, the files, instead of having the file-type extension like file1.pdf, they gain an extra suffix like <code>file1.pdf.u1conflict</code>, <code>file1.pdf.u1conflict.1</code> so on. And many such files are generated when I compile pdflatex documents. Ultimately it lead to an error, saying that a file is not found while compiling. And the actual reason is, that file has got a new extension, which is, .u1conflict.</p>

<p>I checked in my BIOS. It was already set up to have the numlock turned on initially. Yet it isn't being turned on initially. I have a USB keyboard: would that break this functionality? Or, should I ask elsewhere (superuser, perhaps) about how to get that BOIS setting working properly?</p>

17220 | 1 | 17262 | 2010-12-13T16:28:15.747 | 14 | 2777 | <p>The ability of a .desktop file to display a "human-readable" alias rather than its (perhaps) clinical <strong>real</strong> name, has merit... and as the <em>.desktop</em> filetype suggests, I assume that this ability is intended for the <strong>Desktop</strong> (which is (co-?)managed by Nautilus). </p>
<p>However in the Nautilus File Manager itself, where I would expect to see the bare-bones file information (eg. the real name), I am presented with the meta-data <em>alias</em> instead of the <em>real</em> filename. </p>
<p>This makes it rather difficult to edit/view the <em>.desktop</em> file when Nautilus does not make the real name available. </p>
<p>Is there some way to have Nautilus GUI <strong>File Manager</strong> list these .desktop files by their real names? (just like <em>ls</em>) </p>
<p>PS.. These files had me completely puzzled until today, when I renamed one, and the (my) new "name" was actually <em>not</em> the new real filename at all!. The displayed name was an alias; Nautilus had modified the <strong>file's contents</strong> (Name=...), and the original name was unchanged! ... now I am only half-puzzled (strange stuff)</p>

17233 | 1 | null | 2010-12-13T17:54:31.810 | 2 | 2949 | <p>I've been considering either Jolicloud or KNE for my future netbook. It's going to be a dual core intel atom CPU and will have 512MB gfx, so resources shouldn't be a problem. One thing though: should I use Jolicloud OS or Kubuntu Netbook Edition? Note I will be dual booting Windows 7, which will be my 'working' OS. I will use Jolicloud/KNE for web browsing, 'tinkering' around, etc.</p>
<p>I want a 'complete' feeling from my netbook while not making it feel like a desktop/laptop. This will be my primary working computer (but, as I said, I'll use W7 for my work). What OS would you suggest I use? Jolicloud or Kubuntu Netbook Edition? I've trialed Jolicloud via Google Chrome, but it just doesn't feel right. KNE looks much nicer too; and it feels more complete. What should I use? Any personal experiences?</p>

17236 | 1 | null | 2010-12-13T18:33:27.457 | 6 | 484 | <p>I found this package for latex that gives me the ability to typeset organic structural formulae and reaction schemes for chemistry. I'm having trouble with installing it though.</p>
<p>I read through the installation steps in the manual and it tells me that I need to edit the <code>install.cfg.UNIX</code> file which contains:</p>
<pre><code>[PATH]
BINDIR=/usr/local/ochem
M4BINDIR=/usr/bin
INCDIR=/usr/local/ochem
DVIPSDIR=/usr/local/tetex/dvips/ochem
STYLEDIR=/usr/local/tetex/tex/latex/ochem
MODULDIR=/usr/local/ochem
DOCDIR=/usr/local/ochem/doc
[SYSTEM]
SYSTEM=UNIX
</code></pre>
<p>So I edited the file to this:</p>
<pre><code>[PATH]
BINDIR=/usr/share/ochem
M4BINDIR=/usr/bin
INCDIR=/usr/share/ochem
DVIPSDIR=/usr/share/texmf-texlive/dvips/ochem
STYLEDIR=/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/ochem
MODULDIR=/usr/share/ochem
DOCDIR=/usr/share/ochem/doc
[SYSTEM]
SYSTEM=UNIX
</code></pre>
<p>When I try to install the package, it says that it works, but when I try to typeset one of the examples, it tells me that it can't find <code>ochem.sty</code>. I then tried navigating to the directories that the install was supposed to make and they didn't exist. So I made the directories manually and tried the install again. I still get the missing <code>ochem.sty</code> error.</p>
<p>Did I edit <code>install.cfg.UNIX</code> correctly? My latex distribution is texlive 2009 on Ubuntu 10.10.</p>
<p>EDIT: I did try running <code>sudo texhash</code> and it still doesn't work.</p>

<p>When playing in Windowed mode, if I try and do anything else, i.e. use the computer, when the game is paused, the computer is incredibly slow, it takes a minute just to type a short message into empathy. Also, once I quit the game, the computer remains slow for about 5 minutes, until it magically frees up and becomes fast again. Could this be related to the 512mb RAM limitation of Java, and the machine is swapping?</p>
<p>Even trying to submit this post is incredibly slow and frustrating, it's taking me a minute just to click in the 'Tag's box.</p>

"accepted": true,
"body": "<h2>What is Gconf?</h2>\n\n<p>GConf is a system for storing application preferences. These preferences are stored in XML files under the user's home directory, <code>~/.gconf</code>. Each preference is represented as a key-value pair.</p>\n\n<p>GConf is meant to be a way for developers to easily store user preferences and system administrators to set default values for particular preferences. In most cases, there is no need for a user to edit Gconf keys directly.</p>\n\n<p>The vast majority of keys correspond to entries in the various applications' preference menus. Though on occasion, developers will use Gconf keys as a way to enable undocumented features. These are \"hidden\" from users for a number of reasons. Sometimes the feature is still a work in progress. Other times it is a feature that the developer wants to do away with but still leave accessible to users that don't want to give it up. Frequently, the features are targeted at \"power users,\" and the developer simply doesn't want to clutter up the normal preference dialog.</p>\n\n<p>In some ways it is similar to Windows' Registry. One major difference is that, unlike the Windows' Registry, Gconf does not store system settings. It only stores application preferences. While editing Gconf keys may potentially cause minor issues with specific programs, it should never lead to system wide issues such as rendering your system unbootable. In fact, deleting the entire <code>~/.gconf</code> directory will simply revert all programs using Gconf back to their defaults.</p>\n\n<h2>Managing Gconf from the command-line.</h2>\n\n<p>The program <code>gconftool-2</code> allows the user to interact with Gconf from the command-line. It is often simpler to enter a one line command in the terminal than digging around in Gconf's GUI tool. For instance, if you would like to show the icon for you trash on the desktop simply run:</p>\n\n<pre><code>gconftool-2 --set /apps/nautilus/desktop/trash_icon_visible --type=bool true\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>This also illustrates what I meant by key-value pair above. In this case, the key is <code>/apps/nautilus/desktop/trash_icon_visible</code> which has a value of <code>true</code>.</p>\n\n<p>You can perform a variety of operations with <code>gconftool-2</code>. If you'd simply like to see a key's value, use <code>--get</code>:</p>\n\n<pre><code>gconftool-2 --get /apps/nautilus/desktop/trash_icon_visible\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>If you'd simply like to reset a value to its default, use <code>--unset</code>:</p>\n\n<pre><code>gconftool-2 --unset /apps/nautilus/desktop/trash_icon_visible\n</code></pre>\n\n<p><code>gconftool-2</code> can be particularly useful for system administrators. For instance, <code>/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory</code> can be used to set mandatory preferences for all users. Further information on more advanced uses can be found with <code>man gconftool-2</code> as well as in the <a href=\"http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/gconf-1.html.en\">GNOME Desktop System Administration Guide</a></p>\n\n<h2>How do I use the Gconf editor?</h2>\n\n<p>What was your question again? Oh, that's right: How do I use the Gconf editor?</p>\n\n<p><code>gconf-editor</code> is the graphical interface to manage Gconf settings. By default, it is not displayed in the menus. The easiest way to start it is by pressing <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>F2</kbd> to bring up the \"Run Dialog.\" Next, enter <code>gconf-editor</code>.</p>\n\n<p><code>gconf-editor</code> allows you to browse through the key-value pairs in a tree. Let's look at the example from above. Browse to <code>apps > nautilus > desktop</code> and you will see the <code>trash_icon_visible</code> key.</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/MlKzc.png\" alt=\"gconf-editor\"></p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GConfEditor\">Ubuntu docs</a> on gconf-editor</li>\n<li><a href=\"http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/\">GNOME docs</a> on gconf-editor</li>\n</ul>\n",

<p>I have an old Linksys WUSB54G v4 Wireless USB Adapter. In previous versions I had to use a combination of Ndiswrapper and Wicd to hope of getting it working. In 10.10, apparently there are built in drivers for it. </p>
<p>Unfortunately they don't work. Fails to connect to my WPA network, fails to connect to my open unencrypted network. Wicd fails at "Obtaining IP address" or when using static IPs fails at verifying connectivity to network. </p>
<p>Getting fed up I tried the ndiswrapper approach. Installed and configured, but still not working, even when blacklisting the <code>rt2570</code> module. So for some debugging I added some lines to my <strong>/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf</strong> file</p>
<pre><code>blacklist rt2570
blacklist prism54usb
blacklist rt2x00lib
blacklist rt2x00usb
</code></pre>
<p>Restart and find this:</p>

lordquackstar@quackbeast:/etc/modprobe.d$ sudo rmmod -f rt2x00lib

<p>and couldn't connect. Restarted and was back to the same modules loading.</p>

<p>Maybe there's something in the log:</p>

17260 | 1 | null | 2010-12-14T01:17:01.350 | 5 | 257 | <p>When I go to the Desktop and click on a media icon (for my flash drive, a CD, whatever it is), the following problems occur, in this approximate sequence:</p>
<ul>
<li>Nautilus will close if it's open.</li>
<li>the desktop icons disappear</li>
<li>my Window List shows a button that says "Starting File Manager"</li>
<li>the icons reappear</li>
<li>the button in Window List disappears</li>
</ul>
<p>Because of this problem, I can no longer drag and drop media, nor can I right-click to perform actions such as "Eject" and "Safely Remove Drive".</p>
<p>The same symptoms occur if I click a media icon (that is also present on the desktop) in Nautilus' Computer view, though notably not if I click in the places list on the left.</p>
<p>I have confirmed that this problem happens only if there is a CD in the drive (Matshita UJDA360).</p>
<p>Also, inserting a disc into the CD drive appears to kill all running programs and restart Nautilus (or X; I'm not sure). Applications like Brasero and Rhythmbox will not start while there is a disc in the drive. Removing the disc doesn't result in the list of media updating; it must be forced to update by clicking on one of the desktop icons and going through one of the above-described cycles.</p>
<p>It doesn't seem to matter what type of disc is in the drive. This has happened with CD-RWs I burned years ago using Roxio on Windows XP, the Ubuntu disc I installed from (burned with InfraRecorder Portable under Windows XP), and the retail game disc for <em>Star Trek Armada II</em>.</p>
<p>The first indication of a problem was Brasero dying when I tried to insert a disc for erasure and rewriting. Since then, I've drafted several different questions on various issues, finally combining them into this one when I realized that having a CD in the drive was the common link.</p>
<p>Could this be a simple driver issue? If Ubuntu is dynamically detecting my hardware on boot, can I specify drivers for devices that I know will be a problem if the default files are used?</p>
<p>I'm beginning to think that my laptop, an old Dell Inspiron 2650, is just too old or proprietary-driver-hungry (or something, maybe RAM-starved) for Ubuntu and Windows XP to play nicely alongside each other. Or maybe I just need to carefully take my wall-wart machine to a coffee shop for an afternoon so I can download updates and such from the Internet, as I lack a home connection.</p>

<p>I'm seeing overscan, where the resolution in Ubuntu is set to 1280x720, but the TV itself is 1366x768. When I go into the <strong>Monitors</strong> control applet, I cannot change the resolution to anything other than the current or 640x480.</p>
<p>A user had a similar overscan problem, but <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/4358/how-do-i-fix-overscan-on-my-hdmi-hdtv">fixed the overscan by adjusting his TV's aspect ratio settings</a>. I do not have that luxury.</p>
<p>Is there a way I can do this without having to delve into <code>xorg.conf</code> or other command-line craziness? I'm more than comfortable doing so, but <em>there must be a cleaner way</em>.</p>
<p>I'm running Ubuntu Natty, keeping up with updates and such.</p>

17268 | 1 | 23980 | 2010-12-14T02:47:27.650 | 7 | 3279 | <p>I have a small living room PC (Bohica, running fully-updated Ubuntu 10.10/Maverick) connected to my HDTV that I use for web browsing and media streaming. It connects via WiFi (wlan0) to my Fedora server (Snafu) that in turn connects to the internet. I use static addressing, and everything has been working fine.</p>
<p>I just got a Blu-ray player, and I'd like to give it wired network access to the internet via Bohica's available wired ethernet port (eth0). So far, I haven't been to get eth0 and the network configured to get the Blu-ray player talking to the internet.</p>
<p>Here's my wlan0 configuration:</p>
<pre><code> ip4 addr: 192.168.0.100
mask: /24 (255.255.255.0)
gateway: 192.168.0.4 (fedora box)
</code></pre>
<p>The Blu-ray player is set to an IP of 192.168.0.98/24, with the same gateway as above.</p>
<p>I want eth0 set to an IP of 192.168.0.99/24, but when I do this using nm-connection-editor I lose internet access (the system tries to use eth0 as the default internet access interface).</p>
<p>How do I get my blu-ray player to talk to the internet through Bohica, and do so without disrupting my current (working) network?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Edit: Here's the relevant output from nm-tool with the Blu-ray player connected:</p>

The most part of my files have space in its name so it would be a pain to rename all of them.</p>

<p><strong>01-</strong> If I understood correctly, this problem is related to a kernel issues and not to these specific softwares am I right ? </p>

17274 | 1 | null | 2010-12-14T04:37:44.943 | 26 | 18201 | <p>I recently had to copy about 20 GB of data split between about 20 files from my laptop to an external hard drive. Since this operation takes quite a while (at ~560kb/s), I was wondering if there was any way to pause the transfer and resume it later (in case, I need to interrupt the transfer). As a side question, is there any performance difference between copying from the terminal vs copying from Nautilus?</p>

I've seen in some forums that the upgrade resulted in a change from netbook version to desktop version.</p>
<p><strong>Updated on 15/12/2010</strong></p>
<p>I upgraded the OS from 10.04 to 10.10. But I'm getting an error like this after restart:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/modules.dep: No such file or directory</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I searched in the forums and got a solution like this:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Open Terminal</p>
<p>gksudo gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf</p>
<p>change the line MODULES=most to MODULES=dep</p>
<p>Then use Synaptic (System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager) to reinstall initramfs-tools.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I'll be definitely trying this later.</p>
<p>After that when the system tries to login, my screen starts flashing with just the ubuntu netbook desktop wallpaper on the screen. No other options will be available. It will be flashing continuosly. If I press the power button then one window comes up with options like Shut down, Restart, Hibernate etc. And the screen won't stop flashing either.</p>
<p>I've uploaded a 1 min video. Please go through it as it will give you a clear idea of the error which I'm facing now <a href="http://www.twitvid.com/8UUW4" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Video Link Here</a></p>

"body": "<p>I just tried to build empathy from Maverick for Lucid, but it's not possible due to unmet build dependencies. The easiest other solution that I can think of is just to install the Maverick package using apt, and making use of <a href=\"https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto\" rel=\"nofollow\">pinning</a> to keep the impact on your system to the minimum. This <em>will</em> require you to upgrade GTK+ and some other system components, but it's not so bad and works just fine for me. YMMV though, I'm not responsible if you break your system.</p>\n\n<p>Here's how I just did it.</p>\n\n<p>Open up <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code>, and add Maverick sources at the bottom:</p>\n\n<pre><code>deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick main restricted universe multiverse\ndeb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick main restricted universe multiverse\ndeb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick-updates main restricted universe multiverse\ndeb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick-updates main restricted universe multiverse\ndeb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick-security main restricted universe multiverse\ndeb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick-security main restricted universe multiverse\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>(or use your preferred mirror). Don't do anything with apt yet. Next we'll open up the apt pinning file <code>/etc/apt/preferences</code> and tell apt not to install packages from Maverick (see <code>man apt_preferences</code> for more):</p>\n\n<pre><code>Package: *\nPin: release a=maverick\nPin-Priority: 1\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Now run <code>aptitude update</code> to get the package indexes from these new sources you just added. Next call <code>aptitude install empathy/maverick-updates</code> to instruct aptitude to explicitly pull the package from Maverick instead of Lucid (the default). aptitude will tell you it wants to upgrade to a number of packages from Maverick:</p>\n\n<pre><code>Upgrade the following packages:\ngconf2 [2.28.1-0ubuntu1 (lucid, now) -> 2.31.91-0ubuntu3.1 (maverick-updates)]\ngnome-icon-theme [2.28.0-1ubuntu1 (lucid, now) -> 2.31.0-0ubuntu1 (maverick)]\nlibdbus-glib-1-2 [0.84-1 (lucid, now) -> 0.88-2 (maverick)]\nlibdbusmenu-glib1 [0.2.9-0ubuntu3.1 (lucid-updates, now) -> 0.3.16-0ubuntu1 (maverick)]\nlibgail18 [2.20.1-0ubuntu2 (lucid-updates, now) -> 2.22.0-0ubuntu1 (maverick)]\nlibglib2.0-0 [2.24.1-0ubuntu1 (lucid-updates, now) -> 2.26.0-0ubuntu1 (maverick)]\nlibgtk2.0-0 [2.20.1-0ubuntu2 (lucid-updates, now) -> 2.22.0-0ubuntu1 (maverick)]\nlibgtk2.0-bin [2.20.1-0ubuntu2 (lucid-updates, now) -> 2.22.0-0ubuntu1 (maverick)]\nlibnotify1 [0.4.5-1ubuntu4 (lucid-updates, now) -> 0.5.0-2ubuntu1 (maverick)]\nlibrsvg2-2 [2.26.3-0ubuntu1 (lucid-updates, now) -> 2.32.0-0ubuntu1 (maverick)]\nlibrsvg2-common [2.26.3-0ubuntu1 (lucid-updates, now) -> 2.32.0-0ubuntu1 (maverick)]\nlibsqlite3-0 [3.6.22-1 (lucid, now) -> 3.7.2-1 (maverick)]\nlibtelepathy-glib0 [0.10.1-1ubuntu2 (lucid, now) -> 0.12.0-0ubuntu1 (maverick)]\nnautilus-sendto-empathy [2.30.3-0ubuntu1 (lucid-updates, now) -> 2.32.1-0ubuntu1 (maverick-updates)]\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Agree to this if you don't think it's too bad (like I said, worked for me), and you'll end up with a newer Empathy.</p>\n\n<p>Good luck!</p>\n",
