How to configure network in xfce?</p>

19027 | 1 | 19063 | 2010-12-27T18:46:38.163 | 5 | 3831 | <p>My girlfriend got a new Subnotebook for Christmas (Sony Vayo VPCY21S1E), which comes with an "Intel HD graphics" vga adaptor.</p>
<p>When I try to boot the Ubuntu installer from USB, the screen goes blank after a short while, before I even see the Ubuntu logo. However, when I select "nomodeset" in the boot options, I can boot it to the CLI login prompt. When I start X, though, that only works in VESA mode (I've read Intel eventually got rid of Usermode Mode Setting and only offers KMS now, which I've disabled to get it to boot).</p>
<p>What can I do to enable a) higher resolution than 1024x768 in VESA b) hardware acceleration for compiz, video playback, etc?</p>

This is due to the graphics card not being supported correctly by the kernel. What doesn’t work is Kernel Mode Setting (i.e. switching resolution etc), hence the black screen.</p>\n<h2>Graphics solution</h2>\n<p>To install Ubuntu correctly, you will need the Alternate Installation CD. And since your laptop has 4 GiB of RAM, you will need the amd64 variant.</p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">Get the alternate amd64 installation ISO from the Ubuntu homepage</a></li>\n<li>Burn an installation cd or write it to usb and boot from your medium.</li>\n<li>On the first splash screen, <code>press any key</code> to be shown the boot options.</li>\n<li>Press <code>F6</code> to see advanced settings and select <code>nomodeset</code>. This will disable <em>Kernel Mode Setting</em> and allow you to see at least text.</li>\n<li>Installation should work self explanatory from there.</li>\n<li>After the reboot, you should see the standard greeter and log in.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Don’t worry if the touchpad doesn’t work. We’ll fix that later. Also, we’ll improve the screen resolution. Until then, <em>plug in an USB mouse</em>.</p>\n<h2>Installing another kernel</h2>\n<p>Since we disabled kernel mode switching before installation and Intel has removed User Mode Switching in their drivers, we’re running on VESA drivers that support only 1024x768. To fix that, we will have to both re-enable kernel mode switching and install a newer kernel with the appropriate drivers.</p>\n<p>Before we install a new kernel, re-enable KMS:</p>\n<p><code>gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub</code></p>\n<p>In the line that starts with <code>GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=</code> remove everything between the quotes. <strong>Leave the quotes where they are</strong>.</p>\n<p>As of 2010-12-28, I had the best luck with <a href=\"http://kernel.ubuntu.com/%7Ekernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-next/2010-12-24-natty/\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">the 2010-12-24 snapshot of 2.6.37rc3</a>:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http://kernel.ubuntu.com/%7Ekernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-next/2010-12-24-natty/linux-headers-2.6.37-997-generic_2.6.37-997.201012240908_amd64.deb\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-next/2010-12-24-natty/linux-headers-2.6.37-997-generic_2.6.37-997.201012240908_amd64.deb</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"http://kernel.ubuntu.com/%7Ekernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-next/2010-12-24-natty/linux-headers-2.6.37-997_2.6.37-997.201012240908_all.deb\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-next/2010-12-24-natty/linux-headers-2.6.37-997_2.6.37-997.201012240908_all.deb</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"http://kernel.ubuntu.com/%7Ekernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-next/2010-12-24-natty/linux-image-2.6.37-997-generic_2.6.37-997.201012240908_amd64.deb\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-next/2010-12-24-natty/linux-image-2.6.37-997-generic_2.6.37-997.201012240908_amd64.deb</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Install the packages you just downloaded.</p>\n<h2>Installing the latest video drivers</h2>\n<p>Add the <a href=\"https://launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">Ubuntu X-Swat-Updates PPA</a>:</p>\n<pre><code>sudo add-apt-repositry ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates\nsudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -u\n</code></pre>\n<h2>Battery meter</h2>\n<p>To see your current battery capacity, you’ll need to install an updated GNOME power manager. <a href=\"https://launchpad.net/%7Ebrian-rogers/+archive/power?field.series_filter=maverick\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">Add a PPA that includes the bugfix</a></p>\n<pre><code>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:brian-rogers/power\nsudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -u\n</code></pre>\n<h1>Reboot</h1>\n<p>After reboot, the new kernel and system updates will have taking care both of the graphics issues and the nonworking touchpad.

I put the cd in the cdrom and in the software repositories i checked the box install from cd(Ubuntu 10.10 release Maverick Meerkat). </p>
<p>Then I reloaded the software repositories. The synaptic manager then tried to download some repository related files but failed to do so as i didn't have internet connection. Then I open a terminal and wrote <code>sudo apt-get install build-essential</code>. It prompted me if I want to install build essential y/N. I typed y but the terminal showed some errors and was not installed. I also tried to add the CD in the software repositories. </p>
<p>I clicked add and it prompted me to insert a CD while the CD was still inside the cdrom. I clicked "ok" then and it showed it could not find any cd.
What is wrong?</p>

<p>So I tried formatting the disk and creating a new partition using the <strong>disk utility in ubuntu</strong>. However it seems to keep running without any indication of the progress or whatsoever. I have no idea what is happening. I have attached a screenshot below to show what I mean.</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/snoc6.png" alt="alt text"></p>
<p>As you can from the screenshot above it seems to be working on it but no indication on the progress or what it is doing. Any attempt to exit it or do any other task like safe removal or format partition leads to the the following dialog box.</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ejuU2.png" alt="alt text"></p>
<p>What should I do? Wait or restart the computer..???</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> I installed gparted as per the answer however when creating the partition of the type <strong>ext4</strong> I had the same problem. It ran for hours (I waited around 10 hours) and when I checked it was stuck. The application froze. So I restarted and then deleted the disk and then created a new partition of the type <strong>ntfs</strong> and it was done in 5 minutes!!</p>
<p>The problem seems to be creating a ext4 partition. Any reasons why?</p>

<p>Now, do anyone has experience on applying this path on his Ubuntu kernel?</p>
<p>I also saw an alternative way that claimed has a better result:</p>
<pre><code>wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/59511828/cgroup_patch
chmod +x cgroup_patch
sudo ./cgroup_patch
</code></pre>

<p>I cannot tell you how many times I removed all devices, removed stored passwords, killed all processes of u1, logged out and back in online...and still, the tick in the file browser (Synchronize this folder) is loading and loading and loading. </p>
<p>Also, I have logged out, rebooted countless times.</p>
<p>And this is after me somehow managing to get the u1 preferences to finally "connect" again.</p>
<p>I have also checked the status of your services, and none are close to what I am experiencing.
And I have checked the suggested related questions above!</p>
<p>So please, just confirm whether it is a problem on my side, or a problem on your side.</p>
<p>EDIT:</p>
<p>In the mean time, here is what has changed, on top of what is mentioned just above.</p>
<p>• My files went from 0MB to 71.9MB, and is still rising.
• My first folder of 400.2MB is being filled with the data as I write this. The second folder has the folder sub-structure in place.
• Both folders now show in the File Browser that it will be synchronized.</p>
<p>I believe that right now, it is all back to normal and working fine, and I guess that's what a good night's sleep can do ;). And we're now only back to the point where synchronizing is slow, but will pick up with the release of Natty (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/FAQ/WhyIsItTakingSoLongForMyFilesToSync).</p>
<p>But to get to the questions:</p>
<ol>
<li>My about says I use 11.04, Natty Narwhal, but I am quite sure the last distribution I installed was 10.10.</li>
<li>Folder A is 400.2MB, and Folder B is 29.5MB</li>
<li>I am on a DSL line, behind a regular fritz.box setting.</li>
<li>No proxy servers in use, and I did not install any particular firewall features.</li>
<li>No physical firewall, just the router (on which I have a TV signal as well), and 2 switches to get to this floor.</li>
<li>Status: inactive
The ubuntuone-indicator runs the same window as when I click on my name on the top-right corner and select Ubuntu one, or in the Control Center choose Ubuntu one. It wasn't supposed to go further than this was it?</li>

19069 | 1 | 19084 | 2010-12-28T03:19:38.233 | 4 | 7949 | <p>I keep a windows partition on my laptop for the occaisional bit of Photoshop work. A while ago I noticed that Windows had disappeared from my grub boot menu and when I try to mount the windows partion, my system hangs for a bit and then I get this:</p>
<pre><code>Unable to mount 105 GB Filesystem
Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 13: ntfs_attr_pread_i: ntfs_pread failed: Input/output error
Failed to calculate free MFT records: Input/output error
NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a
SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows
then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very
important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate
it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g.
/dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation
for more details.
</code></pre>
<p>It seems that chkdsk is a windows command but since I can't boot into windows (since its the windows partition that is the problem) I'm not sure what to do. Here is the output of fdisk to give you the lay of the land:</p>

<p>I see there is a <code>patch/</code> directory (many using <code>quilt</code> I guess) in <code>debian/</code>, but I don't know how to use it? Will <code>debuild</code> automatic apply all patches in the <code>patch/</code> directory? And what about <code>dpkg-buildpackage</code>? Is there some environ variables to control the selection of patches to apply? </p>

<p>After saving an update of a published file on my desktop, it will automatically "synchronise" with the corresponding files at UbuntuOne (and it does). Problem is that the "new file", actually the updated file with the same name, is no longer published. Pressing the publish button results is a new URL. I now have to mail new URL's and change embedded links, as old URL will result in a failure to find the updated file (or indeed any file).</p>
<p>I am not sure if it is a bug or a design flaw (maybe intentional?), but it seems strange to me. </p>

<p>In this case, I would suggest to put the music in the official ubuntuone-folder instead of a hidden one. Non-technical users will not understand, why their shared music files are not in this folder, but others are popping up there (e.g. in the webinterface).</p>

You can see from the Launchers list in the dock properties that it isn't in fact a launcher. (The Yahoo and Gmail launchers are standalone Prism apps, they don't use the FF Prism extension. And if I mouse over the bottom FF icon, it does display the title of the open Firefox window, not anything using Prism.)</p>

I can't seem to find a format that is compatible across all systems that handles large files (at least 8-9 GB).</p>
<p>Does anyone have a solution for this? Recently I've tried exFat but that messes up the filesystem when trying to read on windows after adding files from Ubuntu (using the fuse driver).</p>
<p>The OSes currently I'm using are Windows Vista/7, Mac OS X (10.6.5) and Ubuntu 10.10</p>
<p>update: I've decided to go with ntfs for now. The download for ntfs-3g for mac can be found <a href="http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/ntfs3g.html" rel="noreferrer">here</a>.</p>

19146 | 1 | 19582 | 2010-12-28T19:25:20.947 | 2 | 278 | <p>Ubuntu 10.04 is beautiful. I love it. I am dying to install it on my PC, alongside the existing Ubuntu 8.04 (from which I write this message right now).</p>
<p>But... it won't let me!</p>
<p>When I reach the partitioning stage (manual!) Ubuntu 10.04 sees my two HDDs as one RAID volume.</p>
<p>It doesn't see all the partitions I already have in place in /dev/sda and /dev/sdb.</p>
<p>Even Windows 7 doesn't behave like this... (yes, I actually managed to install Windows 7 64-bit in dual-boot configuration with Ubuntu 8.04 on this same system).</p>
<p>Note: GParted on Ubuntu 10.04 (live CD) sees the partition intended for Ubuntu 10.04 (/dev/sda4) perfectly, but is unable to format it.</p>
<p>Note: I also removed that partition trying to reformat it via GParted once 10.04 LiveCD is loaded. It didn't help.</p>
<p>I believe that the problem lies in Ubuntu "deciding for me" that the HDDs should be "seen" as a RAID, hence any partition is seen by GParted as "busy" or "locked".</p>
<p>Any idea how to solve this problem?</p>

Ive read <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/8701/windows-7-like-snap-window-maximize-and-vertical-feature">windows 7-like snap window maximize and vertical feature</a> and <a href="http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/11/get-aero-snap-in-ubuntu/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/11/get-aero-snap-in-ubuntu/</a></p>
<p>There are two problems with this solution that I am trying to get around. </p>
<ol>
<li>It's not sensitive to dragging a window</li>
<li>It's not intelligent for Twin-view monitors.</li>
</ol>
<p>The first problem is the more pressing. I have the compiz settings with wmctrl, but this is not sensitive to dragging windows if I have a window with the focus and place my mouse in the panel I get the window maximized, even though I'm not dragging the window. A good solution would be sensitive to the state of the mouse, clicked, right clicked, middle clicked. An ideal solution would be sensitive to dragging a window or not.</p>
<p>Second is a minor annoyance to me at least. With the commands as they are listed are equivalent to maximizing the windows since I have a Twinview monitors setup.</p>
<p>Is there any way to add these sensitivities to the commands?</p>

<p>So far I've just done it by hand by copying four spaces to the clipboard and then mashing keys really fast:</p>
<p><kbd>↓</kbd>, <kbd>Home</kbd>, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>V</kbd> (repeat)</p>
<p>What is the quickest way to accomplish this?</p>
<ul>
<li>Copying and pasting to another program? (Which?)</li>
<li>A Firefox or Chrome browser extension?</li>
<li>A command to directly modify the clipboard contents?</li>
<li>An auto-typing program?</li>
</ul>

19171 | 1 | null | 2010-12-28T22:51:40.193 | 8 | 4676 | <p>I a Broadcom 4312 using the STA drivers, I reinstalled ubuntu because the b43 drivers were giving me a huge hassle along with some weird kernel issues.</p>
<p>My wireless speed is fine, everything works well, except upon restart of computer and after taking the computer out of suspend. It takes about 30-45 seconds for the wireless to reconnect, and I think it is a driver issue (I clicked on the network manager at the top and for about 30 seconds there are no wireless networks listed.)</p>
<p>I tried this advice already: <a href="http://lilserenity.wordpress.com/2007/10/31/fix-ubuntu-dropping-wireless-on-suspendhibernate-resume/">http://lilserenity.wordpress.com/2007/10/31/fix-ubuntu-dropping-wireless-on-suspendhibernate-resume/</a>
which basically says to change this:</p>
<pre><code>STOP_SERVICES=""
</code></pre>
<p>to</p>
<pre><code>STOP_SERVICES="networking"
</code></pre>
<p>in the file</p>
<p>/etc/default/acpi-support</p>
<p>This did not help anything. Something to note is that the issue does <strong>not</strong> occur when I am logging back in after already logging in once and logging out.</p>

19176 | 1 | 19181 | 2010-12-28T23:01:38.253 | 0 | 823 | <p>I began with installing 9.04 in a netbook (Asus EeePC 1000H), upgraded to 9.10 and have now Lucid Lynx 10.04 (LTS). </p>
<p>Most things tested run pretty good, with the most notable exception being wireless network due to the hardware (Ralink RT2860) which I first tested after the last major upgrade and a few times before giving up (failed to maintain connection to WPA2 networks). Other nuisances are not as important (e.g. some hotkeys work, a couple of them don't), but given that most everything works I'm concerned with doing an upgrade to find most things have been broken and I have to go back and dig up on how to get it to work...</p>
<p>Once in a while, I look up for some posts elsewhere to read up on problems and to find out if they're tame enough to justify an upgrade to 10.10. I'm not in a rush, but I'm not interested in being too left behind some time from now that an upgrade becomes too costly or downright impossible (many things formatted too differently). I'm not even sure if it's possible to "easily" upgrade from LTS to LTS release...</p>
<p>Therefore I ask if it's (in principle) possible to skip releases and only do a major upgrade much later on. For example, is it possible (or advisable) to do an upgrade only when the next LTS comes out (a couple of years from now)? Or is it preferable not to skip releases at all?</p>

<p>Looking into it, one of the mp3s downloaded from the server was only 2.5MB instead of 4.2MB as it shows on the server itself via one.ubuntu.com.</p>
<p>It's happened with multiple tracks today (I remember it happening once the first time I used the app too but shrugged it off as a glitch).</p>
<p>The app itself shows a star on the playlist item indicating the file was downloaded even though it was apparently cut off for some reason, perhaps lack of good cell coverage, or some sort of dropped connection. It seems like the latter may be happening and instead of showing an error or retrying it just stops and shows the download is complete.</p>

<p>I start System monitor, I found out network was shutdown just before mouse freeze.</p>
<p>Some time my keyboard keep typing one key.
For example:77777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777.....(it keep typing for >20 sec)</p>
<p>I found out a script just solve the freeze problem:(I hit Powerbutton)</p>

19212 | 1 | 19233 | 2010-12-29T09:48:33.213 | 10 | 18282 | <p>Let me state for the record that I'm a total noob when it comes to Hi-Fi sound systems, but I am rather picky about the sound quality. Normally I listen to CD recordings ripped to FLAC in 16/44, but I have several albums that are also ripped from vinyls to FLAC in 24/96. But it seems that I can't tell the difference between 16-bit and 24-bit versions (except for some vinyl noises, of course). That can be due to several reasons:</p>
<ul>
<li>my equipment (onboard audio, monitor headphones) isn't good enough to make any difference,</li>
<li>my system is not playing audio in 24-bit 96 kHz,</li>
<li>I am physically unable to hear the difference.</li>
</ul>
<p>So here is my question, how do I tell if my system <strong>can play</strong> 24-bit sound with 96 or 192 kHz resolution? And if it can, how do I tell that it <strong>plays</strong> it instead of downsampling to 16-bit / 44 kHz?</p>
<p>Also, what hardware (audio cards, amplifiers, etc.) would you recommend to play such recordings on Ubuntu?</p>

Also, the best sound chip will do no good if the headphones/speakers/amplifier can't keep up. </p>\n",

<p>I'm new to Ubuntu (and Linux) but I want to give it a go. I've spent a few evenings trying to get 10.10 to run but I think my nVidia 8400 GS is causing trouble; only recovery mode with <code>failsafeX</code> gets me to the desktop (low-res but seems to be fully functional otherwise). </p>
<p>Given that the xx.04 vesions are <em>long-term support,</em> I'm wondering whether it would be smarter for me to use that. I don't need to be on the cutting edge - I prefer to have a system that just works, long-term. Later I hope to move my media center and wife's netbook over too.</p>

19245 | 1 | 19248 | 2010-12-29T15:21:29.600 | 6 | 1183 | <p>I have a bash script I am using to automate a SVN checkout. The contents of the file were:</p>
<pre><code>#!/bin/bash
cd /var/www-cake
sudo svn checkout file:///usr/local/svn/bash_repo/repo/
</code></pre>
<p>Then when I double click the file it would ask me what to do, I would click the button "<em>Run In Terminal</em>" and then a terminal would pop up and ask me for the SUDO password. I would enter it, the script would execute and the terminal would close.</p>
<p>I wanted to give some sort of indication that the script ran successfully so I edited my file to look like:</p>
<pre><code>#!/bin/bash
cd /var/www-cake
sudo svn checkout file:///usr/local/svn/bash_repo/repo/
echo "Head revision has been pushed to live server"
</code></pre>
<p>I expected the terminal to now stay open and tell me the message afterwards. To my surprise it now opens and immediately closes. The script does execute and I no longer have to put in the SUDO password.</p>
<p>Is this right? I do not understand why this is happening, seems like a security issue.</p>

<p>I tried with this first</p>
<pre><code>#!/bin/bash
play run /home/david/Projects/ZS
</code></pre>
<p>then I tried with this</p>
<pre><code>#!/bin/bash
konsole -e play run /home/david/Projects/ZS
</code></pre>
<p>In terminal, it runs perfectly, but in launcher.. not so much</p>
<p>Any solution or suggestion is appreciated, thanks</p>

<p>I run a small software company and as it happens I often do very different type of work. When I do coding for Java project I need Eclipse running and maybe VM with something like ActiveMQ server or whatever, plus terminals to tail -F log files specific to the application, etc.
When I do something like weekly progress review with my team I need a few browser windows open and a gedit to take notes and so on.</p>
<p>Depending on the type of work I am doing I generally have all of the related apps open in multiple different Workspaces. So in the example above Eclipse would be open in Workspace 1, terminals would be sharing Workspace 2 and so on.</p>
<p>What I am trying to do is to automate opening of all these applications, positinoning them on the screen and assigning them to proper Workspaces. My current idea consists of having a Shell script that launches specific apps depending on what type of work I am about to start doing.</p>
<p>Is there anything to aid this type of automation? Or is my only option is just a shell scripting at this point?</p>
<p>My current system is Ubuntu 10.04</p>

19297 | 1 | 19302 | 2010-12-29T19:17:38.137 | 6 | 6346 | <p>An external 3½" HDD seems to be in danger of failing — it's making <a href="https://superuser.com/questions/226369/3-pata-western-digital-caviar-se-250mb-makes-steady-ticking-sound-when-idle/226370#226370">ticking sounds when idle</a>.</p>
<p>I've acquired a replacement drive, and want to know the best strategy to get the data off of the dubious drive with the best chance of saving as much as possible.</p>
<p>There are some directories that are more important than others. However, I'm guessing that picking and choosing directories is going to reduce my chances of saving the whole thing. I would also have to mount it, dump a file listing, and then unmount it in order to be able to effectively prioritize directories. Adding in the fact that it's time-consuming to do this, I'm leaning away from this approach.</p>
<p>I've considered just using <code>dd</code>, but I'm not sure how it would handle read errors or other problems that might prevent only certain parts of the data from being rescued, or which could be overcome with some retries, but not so many that they endanger other parts of the drive from being saved. I guess ideally it would do a single pass to get as much as possible and then go back to retry anything that was missed due to errors.</p>
<p>Is it possible that copying more slowly — e.g. pausing every x MB/GB — would be better than just running the operation full tilt, for example to avoid any overheating issues?</p>
<p>For the "where is your backup" crowd: this actually is my backup drive, but it also contains some non-critical and bulky stuff, like music, that aren't backups, i.e. aren't backed up.</p>
<p>The drive has not exhibited any clear signs of failure other than this somewhat ominous sound. I did have to fsck a few errors recently — orphaned inodes, incorrect free blocks/inodes counts, inode bitmap differences, zero dtime on deleted inodes; about 20 errors in all.</p>
<p>The filesystem of the partition is ext3.</p>

The Ubuntu One Preferences window either reports "Synchronisation complete" even though no recent files have been downloaded nor have any test files created in the relevant synced folder been uploaded, or it says "Synchronisation in progress", which does not appear to be happening as it stays like this for ages and the lights on my router suggest no traffic is going through.</p>

<p>When opening filezilla there is no menu list. Very inconvenient because you can't open the "settings"-dialog. There are several workarounds that I tried - none of them really work. </p>
<ol>
<li><p>change theme while filezilla is running, menu reapperars. Once you close and reopen it the menu is gone again. </p></li>
<li><p>add "export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0"
" to .bashrc or just call it before starting filezilla. Doesn't have any effect for me - menu still missing. </p></li>
<li><p>tried "sudo apt-get remove appmenu-gtk" cause it's obviously to do with unity but the funny thing is even this method has no effect at all! </p></li>

19317 | 1 | null | 2010-12-29T20:46:25.627 | 1 | 13154 | <p>I have a php script with this:</p>
<pre><code><?php
#echo exec('whoami');
$output = shell_exec('bash /usr/local/svn/bash_repo/make-live');
echo "$output";
?>
</code></pre>
<p>The make-live script contains this:</p>
<pre><code>#!/bin/bash
cd /var/www-cake
sudo svn checkout file:///usr/local/svn/bash_repo/repo/
echo "Head revision has been pushed to live server"
</code></pre>
<p>So the PHP user who is <code>www-data</code> needs to have nopasswd for that script. I am told I need to add:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>www-data ALL=NOPASSWD:
/usr/local/svn/bash_repo/make-live</p>
</blockquote>
<p>To sudoers to allow this. First I run <code>sudo visudo</code> but I have no experience with vi so I try to open it in gedit with <code>export EDITOR=gedit && sudo -E visudo</code> which then just opens a sudoers.tmp file which is empty. I add the line and save it. But it doesn't do save.</p>
<p>So I just try <code>sudo visudo</code> and I add the line right beneath this part:</p>
<pre><code># User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/local/svn/bash_repo/make-live
</code></pre>
<p>I closed out sudoers and reopened to verify that it has saved. I even restart apache.</p>
<p>I run the php file and it still doesn't work. </p>
<p>What am I missing?</p>

<p>The other one I found is to edit <code>.conf</code> files in the <code>/etc/init</code> folder.</p>
<p>What's the recommended way to enable / disable / add services and why?</p>

"body": "<p>There are services that can be enabled/disabled using the GUI (like the <code>startup</code> application) or the terminal.</p>\n<p>For the Terminal you have several options. First, open a terminal (Type "terminal" in the dash, for example, and open it). Then:</p>\n<h2>Temporary enabling/disabling services</h2>\n<p>To stop and start services <em>temporarily</em> (Does not enable / disable them for future boots), you can type <code>service SERVICE_NAME [action]</code>. For example:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>sudo service apache2 stop</code>: Will <strong>STOP</strong> the Apache service until Reboot or until you start it again.</li>\n<li><code>sudo service apache2 start</code>: Will <strong>START</strong> the Apache service assuming it was stopped before.</li>\n<li><code>service apache2 status</code>: Will tell you the STATUS of the service, if it is either enabled/running of disabled/NOT running.</li>\n<li><code>sudo service apache2 restart</code>: Will <strong>RESTART</strong> the service. This is most commonly used when you have changed, a config file. In this case, if you changed either a PHP configuration or an Apache configuration. Restart will save you from having to stop/start with 2 command lines</li>\n<li><code>service apache2</code>: In this case, since you did not mention the ACTION to execute for the service, it will show you all options available for that specific service. This aspect varies depending on the service, for example, with MySQL it would only mention that it is missing a parameter. For other services like networking service it would mention the small list of all options available.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Systemd</h2>\n<p>Starting with Ubuntu 15.04, Upstart will be deprecated in favor of Systemd. With Systemd to manage the services we can do the following (through the <code>systemctl action SERVICE</code> pattern):</p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>sudo systemctl start SERVICE</code>: Use it to start a service. Does not persist after reboot</li>\n<li><code>sudo systemctl stop SERVICE</code>: Use it to stop a service. Does not persist after reboot</li>\n<li><code>sudo systemctl restart SERVICE</code>: Use it to restart a service</li>\n<li><code>sudo systemctl reload SERVICE</code>: If the service supports it, it will reload the config files related to it without interrupting any process that is using the service.</li>\n<li><code>systemctl status SERVICE</code>: Shows the status of a service. Tells whether a service is currently running.</li>\n<li><code>sudo systemctl enable SERVICE</code>: Turns the service on, on the next reboot or on the next start event. It persists after reboot.</li>\n<li><code>sudo systemctl disable SERVICE</code>: Turns the service off on the next reboot or on the next stop event. It persists after reboot.</li>\n<li><code>systemctl is-enabled SERVICE</code>: Check if a service is currently configured to start or not on the next reboot.</li>\n<li><code>systemctl is-active SERVICE</code>: Check if a service is currently active.</li>\n<li><code>systemctl show SERVICE</code>: Show all the information about the service.</li>\n<li><code>sudo systemctl mask SERVICE</code>: Completely disable a service by linking it to <code>/dev/null</code>; you cannot start the service manually or enable the service.</li>\n<li><code>sudo systemctl unmask SERVICE</code>: Removes the link to <code>/dev/null</code> and restores the ability to enable and or manually start the service.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Upstart (Deprecated Since 15.04)</h2>\n<p>If we want to use the official Upstart way (Note that, for the moment, not all services have been converted to Upstart), we could use the following commands:</p>\n<p><code>status SERVICE</code> - This will tell us if a converted service is running or not. Note that this is deprecated in favor of <code>start</code>, <code>stop</code>, <code>status</code> & <code>restart</code>. It will also tell us if a service has not yet been converted to upstart:</p>\n<p>A converted service would typically output the current status (Starting, Running, Stopping...) and process ID. A non converted service would give an error about an <strong>unknown job</strong>.</p>\n<p>Some shortcuts may only work with the <code>service</code> command above but not with the commands below unless they are 100% converted to upstart services:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>sudo start mysql</code>: Start</li>\n<li><code>sudo stop mysql</code>: Stop</li>\n<li><code>sudo restart mysql</code>: Restart</li>\n<li><code>sudo status smbd</code>: Status</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Enabling / Disabling a service</h3>\n<p>To toggle a service from starting or stopping permanently you would need to:</p>\n<pre><code>echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/SERVICE.override\n</code></pre>\n<p>where the stanza <code>manual</code> will stop Upstart from automatically loading the service on next boot. Any service with the <code>.override</code> ending will take precedence over the original service file. You will only be able to start the service manually afterwards. If you do not want this then simply delete the <code>.override</code>.\nFor example:</p>\n<pre><code>echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/mysql.override\n</code></pre>\n<p>Will put the MySQL service into <code>manual</code> mode. If you do not want this, afterwards you can simply do</p>\n<pre><code>sudo rm /etc/init/mysql.override\n</code></pre>\n<p>and Reboot for the service to start automatically again. Of course to enable a service, the most common way is by installing it. If you install Apache, Nginx, MySQL or others, they automatically start upon finishing installation and will start every time the computer boots. Disabling, as mentioned above, will make use of the service <code>manual</code>.</p>\n",

19323 | 1 | null | 2010-12-29T21:22:24.597 | 2 | 767 | <p>On my laptop, running 10.10, whenever I plug in a thumb drive Nautilus will add an icon on the desktop and open a file manager window with the drive contents. This does not work for my 250Mb external hard drive: the icon is added on the desktop, but no file manager window pops up. Double clicking on the icon just causes some disk activity (on the system drive) and nothing else. Double clicking <em>another time</em> on the icon the file manager eventually opens. At first I thought this was related to nautilus-elementary, but after removing nothing has changed. How do I even start debugging this?</p>
<p><em><strong>Update:</em></strong> suggestions below got me curious, so I "Safely removed" the drive, unplugged it and plugged it in again. This time it would open on the first double click (no automagic file manager window yet, anyway). Doing a quick "mount" in a terminal shows my USB drive is mounted as a fuseblock device. I suspect the first ineffective double click could be used to load/start the whole user space filesystem thingie.</p>
<p><em><strong>Update:</em></strong> from what I can see after a fresh boot the hard disk is mounted as soon as the icon appears on the desktop, the only thing that doesn't work is double-clicking the first time. Right-clicking the drive and chosing "Open" always works the first time, seems like "Open" is not the default double-click action for external drives...</p>
<p><em><strong>Update:</em></strong> Looks like there are a couple of bugs that could be related:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/422309" rel="nofollow">External FAT32 Hard Drive takes excessive time to open in Nautilus</a></li>

19325 | 1 | 19339 | 2010-12-29T21:28:22.143 | 8 | 29793 | <p>I have a mdadm RAID-6 in my home server of 5x1Tb WD Green HDDs.
Read speed is more than enough - 268 Mb/s in dd.
But write speed is just 37.1 Mb/s.
(Both tested via dd on 48Gb file, RAM size is 1Gb, block size used in testing is 8kb)</p>
<p>Could you please suggest why write speed is so low and is there any ways to improve it?
CPU usage during writing is just 25% (i.e. half of 1 core of Opteron 165)
No business critical data there & server is UPS-backed.</p>
<p>mdstat is:</p>
<pre><code>Personalities : [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
md0 : active raid6 sda1[0] sdd1[4] sde1[3] sdf1[2] sdb1[1]
2929683456 blocks super 1.2 level 6, 1024k chunk, algorithm 2 [5/5] [UUUUU]
bitmap: 0/8 pages [0KB], 65536KB chunk
unused devices: <none>
</code></pre>
<p>Any suggestions?</p>
<p>Things like writeback, barrier, nobh didn't helped. DD blocksize=1M, 8M didn't changed anything. It looks like mdadm physically reads sectors to calculate parity even if it does not matter... Is that correct?</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> Speed degradation after altered stripe cache was actually because 1 HDD probably failed during testing, nice :-D</p>
<p><strong>Resolved:</strong> After increasing stripe cache & switching to external bitmap, my speeds are 160 Mb/s writes, 260 Mb/s reads. :-D</p>

<p>I'm not a big fan of Kompozer because the source code layout is a PIA, so I've started checking out gPHPEdit. However, since using it, I've come across two issues:</p>
<ol><li>when I edit the .html and .php files, sometimes the file extension will change to .html~ and .php~, becoming invisible to the browser. The only solution is to switch to Windows, right click and rename the file extension.</li>
<li>In Ubuntu Firefox, when I click on my prpject's Submit button for in a practice form, a dialog box pops up asking what Firefox should do with the .php file, rather than simply displaying it in the browser. When I do this in Windows Chrome & Firefox, it goes right to the response page.</li></ol>
<p>I'm not sure if this behavior is limited to gPHPEdit/Kompozer, but I've never noticed this happening in Dreamweaver. Any solutions?</p>
<p><strong>EDIT 1</strong> The behavior in Point 1 occurs both when Dreamweaver is open in Windows accessing the same files and when it is not. I changed the extension filename of welcome.php, added a comment in gPHPEdit, and the file changed to welcome.php~ upon saving.</p>
<p><strong>EDIT 2</strong> Using Geany in place of Kompozer/gPHPEdit has solved this problem.<br/> Point 2 behavior is resolved after closing then restarting Firefox. </p>

You can remove this behaviour form any editor in the preference/configuration/settings options where it mentions the way to SAVE/LOAD files. normally it will say something about \"<strong>Make a backup with the ~ prefix</strong>\"</p>\n\n<p>For Point 2 - You can NOT open a php file using firefox because a PHP file is first processed by a server, normally a server that has apache+php services. Firefox first sends the info that it wants to see the php file, the php service processes the php information and then it sends it to apache which sends it to you and it firefox renders the page for you.</p>\n\n<p>Does not matter if you are in windows/mac/linux in all cases the PC where you want to see (Or correctly PROCESS the php file) should have the services needed for it AND the php file in a directory read by the html service.</p>\n\n<p>In the case on Ubuntu, you will need for example the apache + php services installed AND the php in the directory that <a href=\"http://localhost\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://localhost</a> points to so it KNOWS it is serving the php file as a web service.

19354 | 1 | 29235 | 2010-12-30T02:01:25.293 | 1 | 2605 | <p>Hi Linux Community,<br>
I find my self struggling with the slowness of windows OS once again.<br>
It's Time to change with the Ubuntu 10.10 64bit for I like to use a faster Operating System.<br>
My Hard Disk laptop has a RECOVERY and HP_TOOLS partition they are both Primary. </p>
<p>I Have the System Recovery DVD for Windows 64bit should anything bad happen.</p>
<p>Here's the layout I used with windows before:</p>
<pre><code>* (C:) Windows 7 system partition NTFS - 284,89GB (Primary,ad Boot,Pagefile,Dump)
* HP_TOOLS system partition FAT32 - 99MB (Primary)
* (D:) RECOVERY partition NTFS - 12,90GB (Primary)
* SYSTEM partition NTFS 199MB (Primary)
</code></pre>
<p>Here's the layout I wanted to make:</p>
<pre><code>* (C:) Windows 7 system partition NTFS - 60GB (Primary) (sda1)
* (D:) Windows DATA partition (user files) NTFS - 120GB(Primary)(sda2);wanna share with Linux
* Linux root Ext4 - 10GB (Extended)(sda3) (Ubuntu 10.10 64bit)
* Linux home Ext3 - 90GB (Extended)(sda4) (Ubuntu 10.10 64bit)
* Linux swap swap- RAM size, 3GB (sda5)
* Linux root Ext3- 18GB (Extended) (sda6) (OpenSuse or Puppy or kubuntu)
</code></pre>
<p>Here is my New Ubuntu 10.10 64bit layout in use now: </p>
<pre><code>* SYSTEM partition NTFS 199MB (Primary) (sda1)
* (C:) Windows 7 system partition NTFS - 90GB (Primary) (sda2)
* (D:) Windows 7 RECOVERY partition NTFS - 12,90GB (Primary) (sda3)
* Linux system partition EXTENDED - 195,1GB (Logical)
* Linux root Ext4- 10GB (Extended) (sda4)
* Linux swap swap- RAMx2 size, 6,1GB (sda5)
* Linux home Ext3- 179GB (Extended) (sda6)
</code></pre>
<p>When I installed Ubuntu,I didn't know if I could wipe all previous partitions,because of the RECOVERY partition.<br>
So I just made the space for my extended partition with <strong>GParted</strong> by deleting the HP_TOOLS (Fat32).<br>
By doing this I managed somehow to install Ubuntu 64 with Success.<br>
And I also made the partitions for the <em>swap</em> or a <em>third Linux OS</em> as <em>Jordan</em> suggested.<br>
But I couldn't <em>actually</em> make the partitions for the shared <em>NTFS</em>.(no option!) </p>
<p>Question 1: <strong>What is the proper way to Windows 7/Ubuntu 10.10 Dual-Triple Boot Partitioning for Laptop OEM??</strong> </p>
<p>Thank you in advance for your advises and suggestions and Happy New Year to All!! </p>

It opened calendar, then went down and opened trash up several times. It started out just doing it once in awhile with opening something and I didn't move it there. It did on it's own. Is someone controlling my computer? That's how it acts.</p>
<p>I would like to get this straighted out. If it is my mouse just going berserk then I will install a new one. If it is something else, I'd like to know what could be causing it. I have my security set so no one can access my computer. Please can anyone help?</p>
