18065 | 1 | 18081 | 2010-12-18T19:54:28.233 | 4 | 1357 | <p>I have an external USB 2.0 harddisk (Seagate 9SD2A2-500) that periodically "freezes" when files on the drive are not written to or read within approximately five minutes. The drive is formatted as ext4, and I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64-bit. </p>
<p>If I am editing a file that is stored on this drive, and I do not save the file every five minutes, an open application (such as gedit) will become unresponsive. I must wait for at least a minute before the external drive becomes responsive again and the file can be saved. I've also noticed this behavior when trying to access a file in Nautilus.</p>
<p>It appears that the drive is "falling asleep" and then "wakes up" after a certain time. What is happening here, and is it possible to change this behavior?</p>
<p>I have another USB 2.0 harddisk attached to the computer. The harddisk is formatted as FAT32, and does not show this behavior. </p>

<hr />
<p><strong>EDIT:</strong> From this <a href="https://www.ghacks.net/2008/12/09/get-to-know-linux-desktop-environment-vs-window-manager/" rel="noreferrer">article by Jack Wallen</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>There are basically three layers that can be included in the Linux desktop:</p>
<p><strong>X Windows</strong> – This is the foundation that allows for graphic elements to be drawn on the display. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Windows" rel="noreferrer">X Windows</a> builds the primitive framework that allows moving of windows, interactions with keyboard and mouse, and draws windows. This is required for any graphical desktop.</p>
<p><strong>Window Manager</strong> – The Window Manager is the piece of the puzzle that controls the placement and appearance of windows. Window Managers include: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlightenment_(window_manager)" rel="noreferrer">Enlightenment</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afterstep" rel="noreferrer">Afterstep</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FVWM" rel="noreferrer">FVWM</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluxbox" rel="noreferrer">Fluxbox</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IceWM" rel="noreferrer">IceWM</a>, etc. Requires X Windows but not a desktop environment.</p>
<p><strong>Desktop Environment</strong> – This is where it begins to get a little fuzzy for some. A Desktop Environment includes a Window Manager but builds upon it. The Desktop Environment typically is a far more fully integrated system than a Window Manager. Requires both X Windows and a Window Manager.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Examples of desktop environments are <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME" rel="noreferrer">GNOME</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE" rel="noreferrer">KDE</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinnamon_(software)" rel="noreferrer">Cinnamon</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xfce" rel="noreferrer">Xfce</a> among others)</p>

The metadata is written in EXIF, IPTC and/or XMP format (depending on which of these were present in the photo to begin with). Most other photo programs can read these formats, so if you export your photos from Shotwell then other programs should be able to read their tags with no problem.</p>\n\n<p>The upcoming Shotwell 0.8 can write metadata to photo files on the fly - <strong>to enable this, select the option \"<em>Write tags, titles and other metadata to photo files</em>\" in the preferences dialog</strong>. Once this is selected, Shotwell will update metadata in photo files as soon as you tag them. To use this feature, build the Shotwell trunk from source (see <a href=\"http://yorba.org/shotwell/install/#source\">http://yorba.org/shotwell/install/#source</a>), or just wait for Shotwell 0.8 (which we plan to release later in December).</p>\n",

<p>Due to some reason the entire operating system feels laggy. The window manager, firefox and rhythmbox and almost all apps feel a bit slow. There is almost a second time lag between the time I press ctrl+T to open a new tab on firefox and the time it actually opens. This site itself renders in frames and the scrolling up and down is a pain.
Rhythmbox takes 1 sec to maximize and minimize and I cant even dream of a changing the workspace.</p>
<p>My question is if Windows 7 is running perfectly on my comp why isnt Ubuntu? I really hope there is a way because I would love to ditch windows and move over to linux full time.</p>
<p>Is there anyone for whom ubuntu works as it should while running a similar config?

18165 | 1 | 18490 | 2010-12-19T19:08:56.357 | 1 | 291 | <p>Guys, I'm with a little problem here. This version of KDE (4.5.1 - default of Kubuntu) has a strange thing with Dolphin - the file manager. When I click on a menu entry it becomes active (blue) but when I click on the window content it goes lighter. How do i set permantely to blue? That is, how can I have the blue color even when I click on the content window? This was the default behavior on the old version of KDE (4.0x -- 4.4x)</p>
<p>Here is the example:</p>
<p><strong>Active:</strong></p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/jQuVy.png" alt="alt text"></p>
<p><strong>Clicking on the folder content:</strong></p>

18170 | 1 | 18186 | 2010-12-19T20:33:53.100 | 41 | 80899 | <p>I'm looking for a way to reboot into Windows from Ubuntu on a 10.10/Vista dual boot system. The specific use case is that I would like to be able to ssh into my running Ubuntu instance and issue a command that will initiate a reboot directly into Windows.</p>
<p>I found <a href="http://coopology.com/2010/10/reboot-or-hibernate-into-windows-from-ubuntu-easily/">a promising blog post</a>, but the script that it suggests isn't working:</p>
<pre><code>#!/bin/bash
WINDOWS_ENTRY=`grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg | grep --line-number Windows`
MENU_NUMBER=$(( `echo $WINDOWS_ENTRY | sed -e "s/:.*//"` - 1 ))
sudo grub-reboot $MENU_NUMBER
sudo reboot
</code></pre>
<p><code>man grub-reboot</code> isn't much help, but it seems to be leading me in the right direction:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>set the default boot entry for GRUB,
for the next boot only</p>
</blockquote>
<pre><code>WINDOWS_ENTRY=`grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg | grep --line-number Windows`
MENU_NUMBER=$(( `echo $WINDOWS_ENTRY | sed -e "s/:.*//"` - 1 ))
echo $MENU_NUMBER
</code></pre>
<p>This returns the expected value, but on reboot the first menu entry is still highlighted. Any ideas why this isn't working or suggestions for other solutions?</p>

It takes a whole folder of pictures and automatically creates a slide show out of them, Works nicely for me. The pictures on each slide are centred as you wish but most photos vary in their aspect ratios so tall photos are fit by height and wide ones fit by width.</p>\n\n<p>You can then save as Powerpoint, here is a little tip; before saving your slide as Powerpoint, break the links to the photos in OpenOffice.org Impress by clicking the edit menu item then click links, select all the links and then press the break link button, save the slideshow and then save as Microsoft PowerPoint 97/2000/XP (.ppt) this will have the photos embedded in the Powerpoint slide, even though the file size will be large depending on the amount and size of your photos the slide show will be more portable.</p>\n\n<p>While this does not automatically create the Powerpoint slide show, it could be a time saver as it does automatically create the OpenOffice.org Impress slide show which is easy to save as Powerpoint.</p>\n",

I am not sure I could build all the packages for Mono myself, but I'd like to try making my own custom version of Scala package (and I want my system to accept it not as a different package but a version of the original, so that if I put it into a configured repository, the system will automatically upgrade to it from currently installed original 2.7).</p>

<p>None of this has worked unfortunately and I'm now stuck. It simply refuses to wakeup from the remote. The USB receiver shows no activity LED while suspended. Suspend/resume from the remote works fine from Windows 7 so I know the laptop is ok with it.</p>
<p>Any ideas? I need to get this sorted to gain Wife Approval for this system.</p>
<p>Thanks,
Bod.</p>

18232 | 1 | 18273 | 2010-12-20T10:04:56.687 | 2 | 3563 | <p>Last night, I was shutting down my server and I saw a message asking if I wanted to shut down a "pts/0" session. Odd, I thought. So I logged back in and did a <code>finger</code> and saw that there was someone logged in from a remote IP address (an Italian address) and they were issueing lots of <code>scanssh</code> commands. They had also changed the password for the account they had logged in as (it was my child's account and the password was easy to guess - he's only 6!).</p>
<p>OK, so I left some ports open - my fault entirely. I was fortunate that the account is limited. There was also a file called <code>W2ksp3.exe</code> (or something similar) in the account's home folder. So I guess someone was using my server to look for compromised windows' PCs.</p>
<p>So, my network looks like this:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>internet - eth0 - server - eth1 - LAN</p>
</blockquote>
<p>and it was the server that was compromised. The server is using <a href="http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html" rel="nofollow"><code>dnsmasq</code></a> for DNS lookups and a DHCP server for the LAN.</p>
<p>This leads me to two questions:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>How do I configure the firewall (<code>iptables</code>?) to block everything on <code>eth0</code> apart from http, outgoing ftp, e-mail and anything else needed to access the internet?</p></li>
<li><p>How do I stop logins via <code>eth0</code> but allow them via <code>eth1</code></p></li>
</ol>

<p>There is a driver for the OKI-B2520, and it is automatically selected when the printer is connected. From looking at various websites, it seems like the B2500, B2520, and B2540 all work perfectly fine with the OKI-B2520 driver, so I let it install that. Everything went smoothly, the printer shows up as available, and I can queue jobs without any problems, and they disappear after a few seconds.</p>
<p>However, nothing actually comes out. There is no error message on the printer display, or from Ubuntu.</p>
<p>This is the output from the CUPS error log: <a href="http://pastebin.com/S6ifZAup" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://pastebin.com/S6ifZAup</a></p>

As the memory is not enough to run the graphical installer, I had to follow the minimal install from a minimal.iso file as <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp/MinimalInstall">described here</a>. However, halfway through the installation when the installer asked me which software I wanted to choose (the list that includes mail server, openssh server...) I chose ubuntu-netbook. That was stupid, because my RAM is really too bad for anything standard.</p>
<p>Now let's say I have Ubuntu (actually the netbook thing, but that doesn't make any difference in this question I think). I have also installed <code>lubuntu-desktop</code> so I have Lubuntu as well. How can I remove the things that came with Ubuntu, to keep only a fresh Lubuntu installation?</p>

The sound card still shows up in an <code>lspci</code> listing though.</p>
<p>The monitor is connected via HDMI and the sound is via 3.5mm headphone jack to an external amp. The monitor also has integrated speakers but these are not in use.</p>
<p>Edit: I've also noticed that the computer only goes to sleep/suspend when it was booted up with the monitor plugged in. Otherwise it stays on all the time. It seems that some part of gnome is not being started properly when it can't find the monitor.</p>

<p>I'm running Lubuntu 10.10 on a HP Compaq nx6325. I use it to digitize tape records - connecting the tape deck's headphone output to the notebook's microphone input. Audacity then records the 45 minutes of sound.
However, from time to time, audio input just disappears. There is no data incoming; instead of audacity recording silence, the track cursor completely stops in its way. When using gnome-sound-recorder, the clock counter stays greyed out even though I start recording. Issuing</p>
<pre><code>sudo alsa force-reload
</code></pre>
<p>fixes things again. The system logs show little useful, although I can post the more relevant parts if asked.
Does alsa (or pulseaudio) have some kind of log somewhere? Can I make one? Is there any other or better way to find the problem?</p>

18274 | 1 | 18347 | 2010-12-20T15:33:17.717 | 1 | 363 | <p>My main system runs on Lucid Lynx 10.04, and since it's running rather well I do not wish to upgrade yet.</p>
<p>However the graphics chipset X1700/V5250 doesn't work well for games. The open source driver is insufficient. And the substandard vendor doesn't bother to release the binary driver for current Xorg versions.</p>
<p>So that made me pondering options. The notion of using the Xorg-edgers PPA makes me shiver. But I assume it might be possible to install another Ubuntu version as separate userland <strong>debootstraped</strong> onto my system. Hardy Heron 8.04 would be a good idea if I wanted to persue the binary driver option. This would give me an older Xorg, but I'm very unsure if that fglrx/catalyst driver would be compatible with the 10.04 kernel - since the binary driver needs some kernel hook I believe.</p>
<p>I've just tested Maverick, and the open source driver is objectively faster than the Lucid version (tested a few 2D/3D games). So this might be a better option. I'm unsure if I will see the same effects, if I just install the 10.10 userland and Xorg. So that's my question.</p>
<p>Can a debootstrap 10.10 setup <code>/maverick/</code> actually work under a Lucid basesysten? Any caveats for the installation? And would it be possible to leave my main Xorg running, and chroot into <code>/maverick/</code> and run the newer Xorg on another VT?</p>
<p>Alternative: Is there a simpler way than debootstrap to install a secondary Lucid Lynx side-by-side (no partition) so I can toy with Xorg-edgers safely?</p>

<p>How can I find out which source is providing the newer versions of these packages?</p>
<h2>update</h2>
<p>Thanks to Karthick87 for an informative response. With that assistance, I was able to troubleshoot the underlying issue, which may itself be of interest to some readers.</p>
<p>It turned out that at least some of the updates in question were to be fetched from an official ubuntu mirror. I had been using that mirror without issues for some months now. I have done numerous <code>dist-upgrade</code>s since upgrading to Maverick.</p>
<p>It looks like the issue is the same described by <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/464101" rel="nofollow">this bug report</a>.</p>
<p>I've been able to resolve my problems by editing <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code> to use the [Cc]anonical repository with lines like these:</p>
<pre><code>deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick main universe restricted multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick main universe restricted multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick-updates main universe restricted multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick-updates main universe restricted multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick-security main universe restricted multiverse
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick-security main universe restricted multiverse
</code></pre>
<p>After making the edits, I did <code>sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude dist-upgrade</code> and did not get the warning message.</p>

18338 | 1 | 18355 | 2010-12-21T01:39:53.057 | 3 | 905 | <p>I have one computer running Lucid and another one that I recently upgraded to Maverick. Up until today, I was using AWN with Maverick, including their custom indicator applets. I've decided to switch back to the default gnome panels with dockbarx, but when I add the indicator applet to my panel, it's not displaying the same items as the applet on my Lucid machine. In particular, the network and Dropbox icons are not displaying.</p>
<p>When I look at the About entry for the apps, Lucid shows version 0.3.7, whereas Maverick shows 0.4.6. Did they really remove the network information from the applet in Maverick, or do I need to do something to enable it? My network is very definitely connected, as I still have AWN running and can see the icon there.</p>
<p>(A second question, although not particularly important: the applet doesn't inherit the transparency of the panel it's living on - any way to change that?)</p>

18341 | 1 | 18343 | 2010-12-21T02:31:43.590 | 1 | 1373 | <p>I posted a question a little while ago about the network icon no longer showing in the indicator applet after upgrading to maverick. After reading <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/12414/why-are-indicator-applets-not-working">this post</a>, I looked in synaptic to see if I was missing any of the indicators, and it showed that indicator-network wasn't installed, so I installed it. Restarted my computer, and now all my network devices are gone.</p>
<p>I removed the indicator applet from the panel, but still have AWN running, so I looked at the network icon there. When I click on it, instead of showing me all my wireless network options, all it shows is "No network devices available" (greyed out), and "VPN connections" with an available submenu of "Configure VPN". </p>
<p>When I open the Network Connections dialog through the System Preferences menu, it shows a list of connections accessed in the past, including the wireless network I want to be connected to (and which was connected as of 8 minutes ago.)</p>
<p>What did I do? As far as I know all I did was install an indicator icon, so why did it completely delete my network stuff? And more importantly, how can I get it back?</p>

What I'm wondering is, where do the icons in the Theme choice actually live? Are they individual graphic files that can be used elsewhere, or are they somehow local to AWN?

18352 | 1 | 18354 | 2010-12-21T07:07:15.957 | 9 | 20699 | <p>Even after I've installed all the Mono packages, I am still asked to install Silverlight when I visit Silverlight-enabled web pages.</p>
<p>Even after I agreed to do this and installed the Moonlight Firefox extension from <a href="http://go-mono.com/moonlight/" rel="nofollow">http://go-mono.com/moonlight/</a>, nothing changed - Silverlight applets still don't work and ask to install Silverlight (directing to <a href="http://go-mono.com/moonlight/" rel="nofollow">http://go-mono.com/moonlight/</a>).</p>
<p>How do I finally install it?</p>
<p>The situation is the same in Ubuntu 10.10 and Xubuntu 11.04.</p>
