18723 | 1 | null | 2010-12-24T13:51:29.107 | 4 | 7148 | <p>I have been struggling hard since i have installed Ubuntu 10.10 but it has been difficult for me to get my wifi working.</p>
<p>So here is what i tried.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>First i checked whether i have the driver using the ifconfig command and it shows the wireless lan driver as wlan0.</p></li>
<li><p>Next, i tried the command iwlist wlan0 scanning by becoming the root which gave me the output as no scan results.</p></li>
<li><p>Next, i visited this link <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros</a> to see as to what problem my laptop may have. I do own have an ath5k chipset. And as i followed the instructions in the above link in one of the blacklist-ath_pci.conf file had this written in it.</p></li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<p>For some Atheros 5K RF MACs, the madwifi driver loads buts fails to
correctly initialize the hardware, leaving it in a state from
which ath5k cannot recover. To prevent this condition, stop
madwifi from loading by default. Use Jockey to select one driver
or the other. (Ubuntu: #315056, #323830</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I am not that good at Linux but i have given it a try. I am desperate to have my wifi working and i would be glad if this community could help.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>ADDED:</strong> If anyone would like to know as to what drivers i am using this is the output.</li>

Let's say i have 2 processes running: firefox and my music player and i want to make sure only my music player can produce sound..</p>
<p>I imagine there must be some sort of request from the application to the sound card to "acces the sound card" (perhaps via drivers?), so i could basically redirect all requests that don't come from my music player to /dev/null (i'm in ubuntu). Perhaps this is possible with some shell script or C script ?</p>

<p>My best guess is, that it can't write the setting due to some ownership issues, but I couldn't figure out where the setting is actually stored.</p>

18758 | 1 | 18776 | 2010-12-24T20:09:46.207 | 3 | 1377 | <p>I have a Win7 box with an Ubuntu 10.10 VM accessed in Virtualbox.</p>
<p>The Ubuntu install has the ex4 filesystem. Can I access the shared folders in both Windows and Ubuntu without corrupting the data?</p>
<p>I made this mistake when dual-booting my laptop and made changes to a folder in Ubuntu. When I tried accessing that data in Windows, the access time was very slow, basically about 10% of normal. The only way I could fix it was to restore the data from backups and not make changes in Ubuntu.</p>
<p>If I do this with the shared folders, will the same thing happen?</p>

For that I downloaded the netbook edition and set-up my USB hard disc (note: HDD not flash drive) according to the guide on the official download website.</p>
<p>Then I set-up the boot priority to "removable devices" as first priority. If I boot now, however, the HDD is not booted. Is it not possible to do it that way?</p>

You can do this in the Windows installation that comes with the netbook. </li>\n<li>Now restart your netbook immediately and hit ESC immediately. This will launch the BIOS settings manager.</li>\n<li>Here go to boot settings. Now you <strong>do not need to change the boot order to have \"removable devices booted first\"</strong>. Rather, from the menu entry under boot sequence, enter the submenu \"Hard drives\" (or something like that) and here change the priority of the drives such that your USB stick is booted first, and not your HDD. It might be confusing that your stick is not handled as a removable device, so watch up at this point.</li>\n<li>Install Ubuntu! Some notes on the installation: There will be 4 partitions. The last one is a seemingly unnecessary one with 21MB of empty space. <strong>Keep this one.</strong> It is used internall by the Eee PC to speed up the boot. The rest can be erased. Also, at some points the installation might be really slow, or even frozen. <strong>Be patient</strong>, it is not. It might take as long as 10 minutes, but then it should work.</li>\n<li>Boot and enjoy. Everything works smoothly and out of the box!</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>Bonus hint: Under mouse settings you can enable two finger scrolling just like it is possible with the Eee PC under Windows (without requiring extra Asus software...).</p>\n\n<p>I hope this clarifies things for future users.

<p>Some weeks ago I've disabled the shadow of my top panel. And now I want to re-enable the shadow.
I doesn't remember how I disable the shadow, but I already know I haven't done it with Compiz. So the solution with ccsm & window decoration won't help me. I'm really sure I've edited a text file and restarted the panel to drop the shadow.
I've also tried to reset the panel with <code>gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel
pkill gnome-panel</code> but this also doesn't work. </p>
<p>May anyone out there help me?</p>

18796 | 1 | null | 2010-12-25T04:48:23.517 | 2 | 343 | <p>I am looking for ways to debug (or understand why things don't work as I expect with) the initialisation of an SCSI-2 device (Microtek ArtixScan 4000t) using a PCMCIA adaptor (Adaptec SlimSCSI 1450B) on my old P4 Laptop with Ubuntu 9.10.</p>
<p>I use <code>vuescan</code> as it is capable of recognising the 4000t - and the author of <code>vuescan</code> assures me that it should work.</p>
<p>On insertion in my Ubuntu system, the PCMCIA-SCSI adaptor shows as <code>Socket 0 Device 0: [aha152x_cs] (bus ID: 0.0)</code> (<code>lspcmcia</code>) and resets the scanner, but vuescan does not detect the scanner and no device shows with <code>lsscsi</code> or <code>lspci</code>. I tried as root just in case, same story.</p>
<p>I have also tried without success on a Windows XP laptop. Same as above, the adaptor is recognised by the system and the scanner gets reset on insertion of the PCMCIA card, but vuescan does not see the scanner.</p>
<p>Back to Ubuntu, I tried the command <code>echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 ? 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi</code> with <code>0</code> and <code>2</code> for <code>?</code> (having set the scsi device number on the scanner to 0 or 2) to no avail. with 2 it said the parameter was incorrect, with 0 it accepted but did not seem to do anything with it. <code>/proc/scsi/scsi</code> is always size 0. I have tried those commands as root, and tried starting <code>vuescan</code> both under my regular user and as <code>root</code>. In every try so far with the 4000t (and Adaptec SlimSCSI 1450B PCMCIA-SCSI adaptor) <code>vuescan</code> does not see any scanner.</p>
<p>I would appreciate any lead that would help me debug or fix this issue.</p>

However when I change the album art it is only temporary. On moving to the next song it automatically removes the previous song's album art cover. (I do know about banshee but would like to use rhythmbox). </p>
<p>The cover art plugin is also installed by default however it cannot display some of the album covers since the songs are in my local language (tamil) hence it cannot retrieve the album cover from the internet. However the albumartsearch plugin seems to do the job although only temporarily. </p>
<p>Any reason why it might be?</p>
<p>I have tried looking for other rhythmbox plugins which might be similar to albumartsearch but in vain. Any help would be appreciated. </p>
<p>I have filed a bug in the albumartsearch plugin's website. Waiting for the reply.</p>

<p>A friend of mine just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 and the icons for the indicator applets all appear cut off on both the bottom and the top. See picture above. Note that the icons in the old systray/notification area on my friend's panel all still display correctly, so it's a problem with indicator clearly. My question: How can this be fixed? (I have a 10.04 system that I did a fresh install on, and I don't have this issue, so I'm guessing it's an issue with upgrading. Thanks.</p>

<p>So now when I run <code>dumpe2fs</code> (also from <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/e2fsprogs/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">e2fsprogs</a>):</p>
<pre><code>sudo dumpe2fs -b /dev/sdc1
</code></pre>
<p>I get a list of bad badblocks such as:</p>
<pre><code>dumpe2fs 1.41.11 (14-Mar-2010)
192
1592
2416
3112
3552
...
</code></pre>
<p>But in fact, I realised that the problem came from the rack and not from the disk. I was using the rack in eSata and got plenty of read errors. Now i switched to USB, it's not as fast, but no errors at all.</p>
<p>So my question is:</p>
<p>How do I <strong>reset</strong> the badblocks list stored in the inode #1 (badblock inode)?
(of course, without reformating!... That's the last thing I'll try if I get no solution)</p>
<p>Because apparently blocks are not at all "bad", they were just reported so because the rack is faulty.</p>
<hr>
<p><strong>Edit:</strong> I tried to run another badblocks once the disk was connected to USB but no success: previously found bad-blocks remained.
I ran:</p>
<pre><code>sudo badblocks -i /tmp/emptyList -s /dev/sdc1
</code></pre>
<p>the file <code>/tmp/emptyList</code> being empty so that <code>badblocks</code> is fed an empty list of known bad blocks. But apparently, it's not THE list of bad blocks, it is the ADDITIONAL list of bad blocks, which would be added to the existing ones declared in the inode #1.
<a href="https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/en/man8/badblocks.8.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">The documentation (man)</a> is not very accurate about that.</p>

18838 | 1 | 18848 | 2010-12-25T17:48:41.947 | 1 | 407 | <p>I am trying to bulk change some files in bash that have spaces and unwanted endings to their extension. </p>
<p>For example from</p>
<p>abc.pdf.!ut.!ut</p>
<p>to </p>
<p>abc.pdf</p>
<p>I will show whole progress in case I made something harder than it should actually be. So at first I started with something like</p>
<pre><code>for file in `find /Users/phwd/Desktop/Film\ Sheet\ Music\ Scores\ 2 *.\!ut.\!ut`;
do
mv $file `echo $file | sed 's/\(.*\)\.\!\ut\.\!\ut/\1/'`;
done
</code></pre>
<p>The above did not work for spaces when sending for mv so I changed to this</p>
<pre><code>find /Users/phwd/Desktop/Film\ Sheet\ Music\ Scores\ 2 *.\!ut.\!ut | while read file
do
mv $file `echo $file | sed 's/\(.*\)\.\!\ut\.\!\ut/\1/'`;
done
</code></pre>
<p>This worked almost but mv started saying an arbitrary message</p>
<pre><code>usage: mv [-f | -i | -n] [-v] source target
mv [-f | -i | -n] [-v] source ... directory
</code></pre>
<p>I am over thinking something ?</p>

"body": "<p>Depends. If you are going to use ANY kind of laptop. Stick with Intel. Any Intel will do. Nvidia, although very good, heats up very fast the laptop and you will always need some kind of cooling system to have a normal temperature inside the laptop. Most heat problems in laptops are do to some of the Nvidia cards if not all. Having a source of heat so strong inside a laptop is a bad idea if the laptop does not count with a very good cooling system.</p>\n\n<p>If you are into Desktop, i highly recommend NVIDIA. From a GeForce 4200 and above you should be fine using Compiz with full effects. With TNT and Geforce 2 cards i recommend having Compiz with less effects. But overall NVIDIA has a VERY GOOD performance using the proprietary drivers. (The Nouveau Open Source drivers are also good but not for 3D games yet)</p>\n\n<p>ATI has many issues still (Am a Ati hater still) but i can not put aside the fact that Ati/AMD has made open sourced the Ati Code which has improved many times over from the beginnings of this year up to now. Ati drivers have come a VERY long way in so little time and i have a big hunch (I hope it does not happen for Nvidia lovers sake ;) ) than next year we will see a very strong Ati Open Sourced driver that can deliver even better than the Nvidia closed source. Please do remember that just a year ago, the Closed source Ati driver for linux was several times better than the Open Sourced one and now the Open Sourced and Closed Source are very much like (And in some instances better than the closed one). So despite the fact that i hate Ati, i see a very bright sun shiny future for it in the coming months. (Arggg i still hate you hehe)</p>\n\n<p>So in conclusion, for the time being:</p>\n\n<p>Use INTEL if you are using a laptop and want the laptop to last several years ALIVE!</p>\n\n<p>Use NVIDIA if you want to play games, use compiz effects a lot, etc...</p>\n\n<p>Use ATI closed/open drivers but be warned that you will have problems sometimes with compiz effects, games, etc.. At least for the time being.</p>\n\n<p>For you question about \"are all NVIDIA cards alright\" yes they are. From an 16MB TNT to a 9800 1GB Ram and up. But be sure to use the correct drivers for it.</p>\n\n<p>For VERY old than Geforce 4 or less use: nvidia-glx-96\nFor Geforce 4 up to starting the 6xxx series use: nvidia-glx-173\nFor 6xxx series up to the last one use: nvidia-glx-185</p>\n\n<p>Note that you can use any of them for any card but that combination made above is the best you can have. Do not limit yourself with for example, if you have a 6xxx series card and do not know which one to use, go for the last nvidia-glx version. But if you are sure to have a very old one, i recommend the 96 version of nvidia-glx.</p>\n\n<p>Hope all this info helps you.</p>\n",

<p>dpkg shows, that libselinux1 is installed, but not the selinux package... /selinux is empty...</p>
<p>is there another way, that i can check if grsecrity, selinux are running?</p>
<p>What could have caused such strange permissions (500) and how can i set it back to an normal level (555) ?</p>

18877 | 1 | 18878 | 2010-12-26T02:30:37.460 | 1 | 7560 | <p>I just got an HP Mini 110-3150, and booting from an external hard disk with Ubuntu 10.10 works all fine, except that there is no wireless detected. I noticed that the Wireless indicator is red under Ubuntu, but is enabled under whatever Windows 7 I got on it. So, I understand that it may not get detected at all by Ubuntu at startup time, and there is no manual switch that I can simply slide to turn on/off.</p>
<p>How can I get the Wireless device turned ON by default at startup time, and is there any special driver I need to install (proprietary or not) to get it working ? </p>
<p>Merci :-)</p>
<p>Update: When actually installing on the computer, as a new install, the NIC is not detected at first, but upon restarting, I get a notification of a closed driver available for the wireless. Once installed, updated and restarted, it works fine. </p>

18901 | 1 | 19707 | 2010-12-26T12:10:21.387 | 7 | 22844 | <p>Are there any guidelines for which storage scheme(s) makes most sense for a multiple-disk home server?</p>
<p>I am assuming a separate boot/OS disk (so bootability is not a concern, this is for data storage only) and 4-6 storage disks of 1-2 TB each, for a total storage capacity in the range 4-12 TB. </p>
<p>The file system is ext4, I expect there will be only one big partition spanning all disks.</p>
<p>As far as I can tell, the alternatives are</p>
<p><strong>individual disks</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><em>pros</em>: works with any combination of disk sizes; losing a disk loses only
the data on that disk; no need for volume management.</li>
<li><em>cons</em>: data management is clumsy when logical units (like a "movies" folder)
are larger than the capacity of any
single drive.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>JBOD span</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><em>pros</em>: can merge disks of any size.</li>
<li><em>cons</em>: losing a disk loses all data on all disks</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>LVM</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><em>pros</em>: can merge disks of any size; relatively simple to add and remove disks.</li>
<li><em>cons</em>: losing a disk loses all data on all disks</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>RAID 0</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><em>pros</em>: speed</li>
<li><em>cons</em>: losing one drive loses all data; disks must be same size</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>RAID 5</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><em>pros</em>: data survives losing one disk</li>
<li><em>cons</em>: gives up one disk worth of capacity; disks must be same size</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>RAID 6</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><em>pros</em>: data survives losing two disks</li>
<li><em>cons</em>: gives up two disks worth of capacity; disks must be same size</li>
</ul>
<p>I'm primarily considering either LVM or JBOD span simply because it will let me reuse older, smaller-capacity disks when I upgrade the system. The runner-up is RAID 0 for speed.</p>
<p>I'm planning on having full backups to a separate system, so I expect the extra redundancy from RAID levels 5 or 6 won't be important.</p>
<p>Is this a fair representation of the alternatives? Are there other considerations or alternatives I have missed? And what would you recommend? </p>

Therefore a weekly scheduled TRIM via a cron job (described above) is recomended.</p>\n<p>To enable automatic TRIM on a drive or partition, they need to be mounted with the <code>discard</code> option in <code>fstab</code>. Firstly backup your fstab then open it for editing:</p>\n<pre><code>sudo cp /etc/fstab ~/fstab-backup\ngksudo gedit /etc/fstab\n</code></pre>\n<p>Add <code>discard</code> to the fstab options entry (comma separated) for the SSD drive or each partition.</p>\n<pre><code>UUID=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 / ext4 discard,errors=remount-ro 0 1\n</code></pre>\n<p>Close and save fstab, then reboot and automatic TRIM should now be working.</p>\n<h3>Testing automatic TRIM</h3>\n<p>To test if TRIM is working issue the following commands (<a href=\"http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?63843-The-truth-about-firmware-1.4-and-Linux&p=479503&viewfull=1#post479503\" rel=\"noreferrer\">source</a>):</p>\n<pre><code>cd / # Replace with SSD file system\nsudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=tempfile count=100 bs=512k oflag=direct\nsudo hdparm --fibmap tempfile\n</code></pre>\n<p>From the output copy the number under <code>begin_LBA</code> and verify the device name of your SSD: <code>System->Administration->Disk Utility</code> e.g. <em>sda, sdb, sdc</em> ...</p>\n<p>Run the following but replace <code>[ADDRESS]</code> (begin_LBA) and <code>sdX</code> (SSD device name) with the details obtained above.</p>\n<pre><code>sudo hdparm --read-sector [ADDRESS] /dev/sdX \n</code></pre>\n<p>the output should be a long string of characters for those sectors</p>\n<pre><code>sudo rm tempfile\nsync\n</code></pre>\n<p>Repeat the <code>hdparm</code> command from above:</p>\n<pre><code>sudo hdparm --read-sector [ADDRESS] /dev/sdX \n</code></pre>\n<p>If you get only zeros then automatic TRIM is working. However if after removing the file the sectors are still not empty then wait a while and run the command again.</p>\n",

18910 | 1 | 18949 | 2010-12-26T13:54:54.073 | 2 | 466 | <p>I am using ubuntu 10.10 and am currently trying out different players. I started with the default player (Rhythmbox) however ran into issues..<a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/18821/rhythmbox-not-saving-the-album-art-permanently">click here to view it</a>. So I then decided to try out <strong>banshee (V1.9.1)</strong> which worked perfectly getting all my album covers and nicely integrating with the sound menu.</p>
<p>However few hours later, banshee is still shown in the sound menu but when it plays a song it does not update the sound menu. It can be seen in the screenshot below. As you can see the song is being played at the moment but in the sound menu the play buttons and song are not displayed. So indeed the sound menu plugin for banshee is installed by default. </p>
<p>Also when I click the close button, banshee closes completely, normally it does close but the song plays in the background and can be controlled via the sound menu. To completely close it I had to click <strong>Ctrl + Q</strong>. </p>
<p>It was working all perfectly and then suddenly I have this issue. I have no idea on where to start troubleshooting..Can anyone help me?</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/1EAPs.png" alt="alt text"></p>
<p>To answer the comments and answers below,</p>
<ol>
<li><p><strong>Restarting did not help.</strong></p></li>
<li><p>From V1.9.1 banshee made the <strong>sound menu plugin as a core plugin</strong> which is thereby installed by default and enabled. However for some reason I do not see this plugin in my extensions list. I tried reinstalling it two times and purging all configuration files but still have the same problem. I restarted after every install and uninstall of banshee.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Although I must say this, before I unchecked certain extensions like the ipod/ipad extension (however not the sound menu extension) and those choices that I made were visible even when I uninstalled and installed banshee again. I have a feeling that the old configuration files of banshee were not completely purged.</p>
<p><strong>Is there a way to purge banshee completely? I mean everything and do a clean install of Banshee in the hope that this solves the problem?</strong></p>

<p>I'm not quite sure about where to put swap, but I'm toying with the idea of keeping that in RAM (if it's feasible), or on the HDD (if RAM <em>isn't</em> feasible).</p>
<p>I guess my question is three-fold:</p>
<ol>
<li>Is a 40GB SSD practical for use as <code>/</code>?</li>
<li>If it's <em>not</em> practical, is Ubuntu (it'll be 10.10) able to use the extra space on the HDD?</li>
<li>...as an after-thought: is it possible to separate <code>/</code> out at all? So that <code>/etc/</code> and <code>/var</code> (for example) are on different drives? (Since <code>/var/www/</code> is, to me, more closely related to the contents of <code>/home</code> than anything else).</li>
</ol>

<p>HP Mini 311
Ubuntu netbook edition 10.04 (installed via Wubi)</p>
<p><strong>Symptoms:</strong></p>
<p>I load to Windows Boot Manager as usual. Options are Windows 7 and Ubuntu Netbook, like usual. Selecting Windows 7 does as it should. Loading Ubuntu Netbook, though, does not take me to the usual screen where it lets me select versions of Ubuntu (sorry for bad wording, not sure what the real name is called; it's where you select from about 6 items; I always picked the first due to lack of knowledge without issue). Instead it flashes an error in white on a black screen then restarts very quickly.</p>
<p><strong>It took me a few restarts, but here is the error:</strong></p>
<pre><code>Try (hd0,0): NTSF5 No wubildr
Try (hd0,1): NTSF5:
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Situation:</strong></p>
<p>I have no clue what caused it. The only thing I did last night on Ubuntu was install Skype, but the mic didn't work instantly so I got lazy and switched to Windows 7 and used Skype on there. When I tried to switch back to Ubuntu it began this. (There may be something I forget... it was 5 in the morning). There were no recent updates that I remember. No weird activity. Just... random.</p>
<p>Help please?</p>

<p>I'm using Linksys WRT110 Router. When I'm connected via ethernet cable everything's fine but when I unplug the cable and try to use wireless it's really problematic. The connection is unstable. I can use the internet for 5 minutes and then for a couple minutes it's gone and it comes back again and so on. But the thing is, it always shows that it's connected, but I can't connect to any websites. As I said, no problems with ethernet cable.</p>
<p>I made some research, installed Samsung-tools (and then came here to ask) and Realtek 8192E wireless driver for the latest kernel for Samsung netbooks with no luck. Also I uninstalled Network Manager and installed wicd, that didn't work either. What may be the problem?</p>

"body": "<p>It's a sad fact that many vendors which claim to support Linux don't really support it.\nIt is a Wrong Answer for the vendor to expect clients to download an unsigned driver file from the Web to make their device work for Linux. Presumably, the provided file is source code which will then have to be compiled in order to be used. If your experience is anything like mine with ASUS, the provided code will be stale and will fail to compile.</p>\n\n<p>The good news is that you might not have to deal with all that. The first step is to determine the device ID of the adapter. It appears to be a USB wireless adapter, so you will use the <code>lsusb</code> command to get this information. For non-USB devices you will generally use <code>lspci</code></p>\n\n<p>If you post the output of the command here, I will assist you in interpreting it. The information you want to extract from the output of the command is a hexadecimal number of the format \"nnnn:nnnn\" immediately following the string \"ID\" on the line that contains the vendor's name. Here's what my lsusb looks like:</p>\n\n<p>Bus 002 Device 002: ID 045e:00dd Microsoft Corp. </p>\n\n<p>Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub</p>\n\n<p>Bus 001 Device 003: ID 046d:0807 Logitech, Inc. </p>\n\n<p>Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub</p>\n\n<p>Once you have determined the device ID for the adapter, you can search for the appropriate kernel module for it. Googling the ID number along with \"linux\" or \"kernel\" sometimes works. There are also compatibility lists like this:\n<a href=\"http://linux-wless.passys.nl/\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://linux-wless.passys.nl/</a></p>\n\n<p>You'll notice that there is no vendor listing for Rosewill on this list. Most likely that means the vendor uses another company's chipset- the other company's name will then be the one that shows up in lsusb's output.</p>\n\n<p>Once you have determined the correct driver for the device, simply do \n<code>sudo modprobe [module-name]</code> to load the module and see if it works. If you get a Module Not Found error, that probably means the module isn't installed. If this is the case, you will likely need to install the linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless package.</p>\n",

I tried both from System/Administration/Monitors and the ATI Catalyst Control Center. There was a CD that came with the monitor but it only contains a Windows installer.</p>
<p>According to the monitor's specifications:</p>

<p>23.6” 16:9 widescreen with 1920×1080 resolution enables borderless Full HD 1080p full-screen video display.</p>

<p>My graphic card is an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670 and the monitor is currently connected to my laptop with a VGA cable.</p>
<p>How can I set my external monitor to its maximum resolution?</p>

The one I found was the noise-cancellation module, which is one that dramatically lowers any static noise on the microphone and even A LOT of the background noise, basically giving you the benefit of only recording your own voice with excellent quality (For audio recording for example). To do this follow this steps:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><p><code>sudo nano /etc/pulse/default.pa</code></p>\n</li>\n<li><p>Add the following line anywhere on the file, but I recommend almost at the end where you will find a comment about Echo Cancellation stuff (~line 140):</p>\n<pre><code>load-module module-echo-cancel\n</code></pre>\n</li>\n<li><p>Reload PulseAudio (<a href=\"https://askubuntu.com/questions/230888/is-there-another-way-to-restart-the-sound-system-if-pulseaudio-alsa-dont-work?noredirect=1&lq=1\"><code>pulseaudio -k</code></a>) or simply restart the computer.

My suggestion is renaming the input device like this:</p>\n<pre><code>load-module module-echo-cancel source_name=logitechsource source_properties=device.description=LogitechHD\n</code></pre>\n<p>And again, restarting pulseaudio.

<p>My login speed is never consistent for months, sometimes it changes within weeks. What I mean is, for example, within 2 weeks, boot time is really fast and speedy but then say after that, boot time becomes noticeably slower. </p>
<p>Usually, right after the ubuntu login sound plays, my desktop would've finished loading already but sometimes, the ubuntu login sound is already done playing and I'm still in this stage of the login --> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W1ueYt1O3xs/S5DsLehgSQI/AAAAAAAATn0/w8O4LBTfDB4/s1600-h/ubuntu%2010.04%20-%20Lucid%20Linx.jpg" rel="nofollow">image</a>, exactly like that.</p>
<p>Any reasons for this? Sometimes it slows down after updates (which I think is kind of normal?) After a few reboots, it becomes fast then randomly it becomes slow again.</p>
<p>EDIT:</p>
<p>As suggested by CYREX, here's what I found from dmesg. Note that I don't have much of an idea what the numbers represent, I assume it's some sort of time. Here are the ones with the big gaps in them including a horrible, horrible one:</p>

<p>More about my setup:</p>
<p>The laptop is setup to dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu. Both in a separate partition. However, they share a common separate partition where I put all my files (/media/Storage -> NTFS). I also created the Ubuntu swap in that shared NTFS partition. Looks to me like something's wrong there.. </p>

I need to install Gujarat Fonts - INDIC. From where shell I get the concerned font file to install? I had previously Win XP and the fonts were installed but the same is not applicable for the Ubuntu. In indic case there is a facility to type gujarati as per the pronounciation using english alphabets and also gives display at a corner for guidance that which character required to be typed. Please suggest how to avail the same facility in this Ubuntu.</p>

<p>Why do I have to re connect my usb cable? Let me know if you need more details.</p>

<p><strong>Edit :</strong> </p>
<p>I am using a direct connection. I mean to say I don't have to enter a username or password. I am connected to internet as soon as I start my router. The problem is if I start my router before my computer I have to re connect my usb cable.</p>

<p>but I want to actually just index a certain working directory and be able to do that manually (so that I make sure my search is correct). Basically, I am on working a project and I need be able to search in contents quickly. I already use <code>locate</code> and <code>updatedb</code> commands, but those search for file names only. I am looking for similar commands but file contents.</p>
<p>Just in case you are wondering why I don't use <code>tracker</code> also like answered in the two posts, tracker have a set of prespecified folders to search in them, and whenever you make a search, you search in all of them. What I want is to be able to search in every project separately.</p>

<p>messages in my syslog, about 10 every second. That just makes syslog unusable, can I somehow get rid of them?</p>
<p>I don't know and don't really care about the reason of those messages being there, partly because my motherboard doesn't have pcie slots on it and partly because everything I care about works perfectly. That might be a WiFi chip I disabled in bios but hey, I don't want wifi to be powered on, I'm not using it.</p>
<p>So can I just suppress those messages?</p>

It even <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4539227/restoring-the-root-of-a-working-copy">corrupted that working copy</a> :(</p>
<p>It works when I use the command line SVN client with sudo, but that's hardly user friendly.</p>

19008 | 1 | 19010 | 2010-12-27T15:19:05.380 | 2 | 177 | <p>I posted a <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/18528/can-i-turn-off-window-grouping-with-dockbarx">question</a> a while back asking about turning off grouping in Dockbarx. Someone left a comment indicating that it was being worked on and would be available in the next release, but that someone didn't provide any kind of documentation and I can't find anything online that supports the claim.</p>
<p>Has anyone seen anything that would indicate that ungrouping is, indeed, being added to the next release? If so, please provide a link to the source.</p>

19011 | 1 | null | 2010-12-27T16:14:12.663 | 4 | 844 | <p>I have a Gateway all in one machine (2 gig Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 dual core processor, 2 gig RAM - <a href="http://support.gateway.com/s/ONE/1014809R/1014809Rsp3.shtml" rel="nofollow">full specs</a>) on which I installed 10.10. Once it has booted it's fine, but it takes forever to boot.</p>
<p>This is what happens:<br>
1. Boot starts with cursor flashing for about 10-15 seconds<br>
2. Cursor disappears for 1.5 - 2 minutes<br>
3. Cursor reappears, blinks a few seconds more, boot finishes in another 10 seconds<br>
4. Login screen</p>
<p>I have another machine with marginal better specs that boots up in no time (basically the above minus the two minute delay).</p>
<p>Things I've done: </p>
<ul>
<li>enabled verbose mode for grub >> nothing is showing until <strong>after</strong> 2 minute pause. </li>
<li>checked syslog >> last message before pause is a message from alsa saying the process is already running (or something similar... going from memory here...)</li>
</ul>
<p>It could be something sound related as the built in speakers are not working (sound card is recognized though and headphones work).</p>
<p>Anyway, it's not the end of the world, but it's annoying and I'd like to know what's going on... Many thanks, and let me know if more info is needed.</p>
<p><strong>Edit</strong></p>
<p>No matter what I tried I could not get into safe mode... Shift didn't work and Esc didn't work. I did boot into recovery mode using startupmanager which didn't make a difference.</p>
<p>I installed Bootchart per Maxime, and according to bootchart it takes about 20s to boot up, which is pretty much the time from the moment the cursor reappears to the time the login screen shows up... </p>

19014 | 1 | 19039 | 2010-12-27T16:54:12.640 | 5 | 1028 | <p>I have two Ubuntu machines with wifi network cards configured as DHCP interfaces.</p>
<p>machine1:</p>
<pre><code>inet addr:192.168.168.105 Bcast:192.168.168.255
Mask:255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.168.252

<p>machine2:</p>
<pre><code>inet addr:192.168.168.104 Bcast:192.168.168.255
Mask:255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.168.252
</code></pre>
<p>They are connected to the router:</p>
<pre><code>inet addr: 192.168.168.252
</code></pre>
<p>Internet connection from the router is accessible on both of the machines.</p>
<p>How to share files between those two?<br>
I have already tried few ways (eg. samba), but it looks like the machines are not visible to each other:</p>
<pre><code>@machine1$: ping 192.168.168.104
From 192.168.168.105 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
</code></pre>
<p>What do I need to configure? Apparmor? Firewall?</p>
