<p>I know something that I will have to change the model of my module to make the front audio jack works but I couldn't find a model related line in my ALSA configuration file - /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf (I was able to get to that point in Ubuntu 10.04, may be something has changed).</p>
<p>How can I proceed from here?</p>
<p><strong>Edit:</strong>
Module details:</p>
<pre><code>Module snd-hda-intel
--------------------
Module for Intel HD Audio (ICH6, ICH6M, ESB2, ICH7, ICH8, ICH9, ICH10,
PCH, SCH),
ATI SB450, SB600, R600, RS600, RS690, RS780, RV610, RV620,
RV630, RV635, RV670, RV770,
VIA VT8251/VT8237A,
SIS966, ULI M5461
[Multiple options for each card instance]
model - force the model name
position_fix - Fix DMA pointer (0 = auto, 1 = use LPIB, 2 = POSBUF)
probe_mask - Bitmask to probe codecs (default = -1, meaning all slots)
When the bit 8 (0x100) is set, the lower 8 bits are used
as the "fixed" codec slots; i.e. the driver probes the
slots regardless what hardware reports back
probe_only - Only probing and no codec initialization (default=off);
Useful to check the initial codec status for debugging
bdl_pos_adj - Specifies the DMA IRQ timing delay in samples.
Passing -1 will make the driver to choose the appropriate
value based on the controller chip.
patch - Specifies the early "patch" files to modify the HD-audio
setup before initializing the codecs. This option is
available only when CONFIG_SND_HDA_PATCH_LOADER=y is set.
See HD-Audio.txt for details.
beep_mode - Selects the beep registration mode (0=off, 1=on, 2=
dynamic registration via mute switch on/off); the default
value is set via CONFIG_SND_HDA_INPUT_BEEP_MODE kconfig.
[Single (global) options]
single_cmd - Use single immediate commands to communicate with
codecs (for debugging only)
enable_msi - Enable Message Signaled Interrupt (MSI) (default = off)
power_save - Automatic power-saving timeout (in second, 0 =
disable)
power_save_controller - Reset HD-audio controller in power-saving mode
(default = on)
This module supports multiple cards and autoprobe.
See Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio.txt for more details about
HD-audio driver.
Each codec may have a model table for different configurations.
If your machine isn't listed there, the default (usually minimal)
configuration is set up. You can pass "model=<name>" option to
specify a certain model in such a case. There are different
models depending on the codec chip. The list of available models
is found in HD-Audio-Models.txt
The model name "genric" is treated as a special case. When this
model is given, the driver uses the generic codec parser without
"codec-patch". It's sometimes good for testing and debugging.
If the default configuration doesn't work and one of the above
matches with your device, report it together with alsa-info.sh
output (with --no-upload option) to kernel bugzilla or alsa-devel
ML (see the section "Links and Addresses").
power_save and power_save_controller options are for power-saving
mode. See powersave.txt for details.
Note 2: If you get click noises on output, try the module option
position_fix=1 or 2. position_fix=1 will use the SD_LPIB
register value without FIFO size correction as the current
DMA pointer. position_fix=2 will make the driver to use
the position buffer instead of reading SD_LPIB register.
(Usually SD_LPIB register is more accurate than the
position buffer.)
NB: If you get many "azx_get_response timeout" messages at
loading, it's likely a problem of interrupts (e.g. ACPI irq
routing). Try to boot with options like "pci=noacpi". Also, you
can try "single_cmd=1" module option. This will switch the
communication method between HDA controller and codecs to the
single immediate commands instead of CORB/RIRB. Basically, the
single command mode is provided only for BIOS, and you won't get
unsolicited events, too. But, at least, this works independently
from the irq. Remember this is a last resort, and should be
avoided as much as possible...
MORE NOTES ON "azx_get_response timeout" PROBLEMS:
On some hardwares, you may need to add a proper probe_mask option
to avoid the "azx_get_response timeout" problem above, instead.
This occurs when the access to non-existing or non-working codec slot
(likely a modem one) causes a stall of the communication via HD-audio
bus. You can see which codec slots are probed by enabling
CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_VERBOSE, or simply from the file name of the codec
proc files. Then limit the slots to probe by probe_mask option.
For example, probe_mask=1 means to probe only the first slot, and
probe_mask=4 means only the third slot.
The power-management is supported.

19987 | 1 | 65520 | 2011-01-04T11:19:14.410 | 3 | 1890 | <p>Recently, my internet connection over wireless has become unreliable, on both a Dell laptop running Ubuntu 10.04 as well as my Desktop running Ubuntu 10.10 . The problem does not seem to occur on a laptop running Windows Vista. The problem does not seem to occur on my Openmoko Freerunner ( running Android 1.5 ), though I hardly ever use this device to connect over WLAN, so the problem may have just slipped by. This problem does not seem to appear when I boot into Ubuntu 9.10 from a live CD ( more precisely, I was able to ping fu-berlin.de for an hour without any packet loss ). Under Ubuntu 10.10, I am experiencing about 33% packet loss.</p>
<p>On my main Ubuntu Desktop, I have tried the following wireless devices: </p>
<ul>
<li>a Longshine PCI card ( an old device with an RTL8180L chip ) </li>
<li>a D-Link DWL-510 PCI card ( this device threw warnings in dmesg )</li>
<li>a USB device from MSI ( US54EX ).</li>
</ul>
<p>Usually my wireless network shows up in the network manager with a normal signal strength, even when the connection speed is slow ( which happens often ) or the connection gets reset ( asking me to click connect to re-authenticate my wireless connection ). </p>
<p>I have observed this problem with a Netgear KWGR614 Router ( with the manufacturers firmware ), as well as with a TP-LINK TL-WR741ND router running OpenWrt.</p>
<p>Taking a look at my routers logs, I find many instances of the following line:</p>
<p>Tuesday,04 Jan 2011 03:53:01 [TCP SYN Flood][Deny access policy matched, dropping packet] </p>
<p>I know that the Netgear router is susceptible to denial of service attacks, as I have previously been able to disrupt its operation by putting an nmap scan into a while loop. I use WEP on the Netgear router and WPA on the TP-LINK to encrypt the wireless connections.</p>
<p>I seemed to have been able to circumvent the problem for a while ( at least on my main machine running 10.10 ) by putting</p>
<pre><code>iwconfig wlan1 power off
</code></pre>
<p>into my <code>/etc/rc.local</code>. ( Thereby turning power management off on my wireless device .) Further testing has shown that this reduces packet loss to about 5%.</p>
<p>Strangely though, power management is on by default in 9.10 ( where the connection worked fine ), and it is already turned off on the laptop running 10.04 ( where I get a bad connection sometimes ).</p>
<p>Ubuntu support suggested I try the backported wireless drivers, which seems to have gotten rid of the packet loss phenomenon, but pages are still loading very slowly, including the configuration page for my wireless router.</p>
<p>I have now filed a bug on launchpad: <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/704777" rel="nofollow">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/704777</a></p>

19994 | 1 | 471495 | 2011-01-04T12:20:34.590 | 6 | 3316 | <p>When I use ffmpeg to convert an audiofile with the option </p>
<pre><code>-acodec libfaac -ab 192k
</code></pre>
<p>and use </p>
<pre><code>ffmpeg -i
</code></pre>
<p>on that file afterwards to get the audio file information, it tells me </p>
<pre><code>bitrate: 152 kb/s

<p>Why ist this? Do I miss something here? If I want to convert a file with a bitrate of 192kb it should give me 192 kbit after the conversion, shouldn't it? </p>
<p>Or: How do I get the 192 kbit rate then?</p>

19999 | 1 | 20004 | 2011-01-04T12:54:18.837 | 10 | 3328 | <p>Is there a solution to assign special key combinations to words in terminal use.
For example the less command is very usefull and i use i a lot to pipe the output of another process through it.</p>
<p>The idea would be to set up special key combinations that are only active in terminal use assigned to write different commands? So pressing <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>L</kbd> in terminal window could write</p>
<pre><code>| less
</code></pre>
<p>or <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>G</kbd> could stand for </p>
<p><code>| grep</code></p>
<p>Note: i just mean adding the letters to commandline not execute the finally. A similar way what's tabcompletion but more specific.</p>

20011 | 1 | 20199 | 2011-01-04T15:04:51.810 | 0 | 577 | <p>I installed KeyTouch, but it decided that the delete key should be the KeyTouch hot key. So, when I pressed deleted, KeyTouch came up. Next I uninstalled KeyTouch and now the delete key doesn't do anything.</p>
<p>Is there any way to remap the delete key to actually delete?</p>
<p>Notes:</p>
<ul>
<li>I tried reinstalling KeyTouch, and
the same thing happens. </li>
<li>KeyTouch does
not allow the user to map the delete
key.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>xev shows keycode 119 when I press the delete key</li>
<li>xmodmap shows keycode 119 mapped to <code>Delete NoSymbol Delete</code></li>
<li>running <code>xmodmap -e "keycode 119 = Delete"</code> from the command line does not resolve the issue</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The delete key passes through correctly when using rdesktop.</li>
</ul>

<p>I want to set up a binding that appends <code>| less</code> by pressing i.e. <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>Y</kbd>.</p>
<p>It seems that by default fish understands the command to automatically execute.</p>
<p>I.e. When i type <code>ls</code> on commandline and then would press <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>Y</kbd> it only should complete the command to look like this <code>ls | less</code> but still not executing it.</p>
<p>i'm trying something like this</p>
<pre><code>bind \ey " \| less"
</code></pre>
<p>But fish doesn't accept my <a href="http://linux.die.net/man/1/bind" rel="nofollow">syntax</a></p>

"text": "``\\`` is always treated literally when enclosed in single quotes, even if it precedes a `'`. After an opening `'`, the next `'` is always interpreted as the closing quote. Something like quoting for `'` in a single-quoted string can be achieved by ending quoting, escaping `'` individually, and starting quoting again. That is, while `\\'` doesn't work between opening and closing `'` characters, `'\\''` does. (See [Gilles](http://askubuntu.com/users/1059/gilles)'s [correction to one of my posts when I'd made the same mistake](http://askubuntu.com/posts/275986/revisions) for details.)",

<p>chmod +x scriptname</p>
<p>and then added it to startup applications.</p>

<p>Multitouch works but wifi not.
When I manually launch the script it asks for sudo password so I thought it was because of modprobe and insmod commands and I've added those commands to sudo visudo.

"body": "<p>777 is a bad permission in general and I'll show you why.</p>\n\n<p>Despite how it may look in a Casino or Las Vegas, 777 doesn't mean jackpot for you. Rather, jackpot for anyone who wishes to modify your files. 777 (and its ugly cousin 666) allow Read and Write permissions (and in the case of 777, Execute) to <em>other</em>. You can learn more about <a href=\"https://askubuntu.com/questions/83/how-do-file-permissions-work\">how file permissions work</a>, but in short there are three groups of permissions: owner, group, and <em>other</em>. By setting the permission to 6 or 7 (<code>rw-</code> or <code>rwx</code>) for <em>other</em> you give any user the ability to edit and manipulate those files and folders. Typically, as you can imagine, this is bad for security.</p>\n\n<p>Here's my example:</p>\n\n<pre><code>marco@desktop:~/Projects/AskUbuntu/20105$ cd ..\nmarco@desktop:~/Projects/AskUbuntu$ chmod 0777 20105\nmarco@desktop:~/Projects/AskUbuntu$ cd 20105/\nmarco@desktop:~/Projects/AskUbuntu/20105$ ls -lah\ntotal 8.0K\ndrwxrwxrwx 2 marco marco 4.0K 2011-01-04 20:32 .\ndrwxr-xr-x 3 marco marco 4.0K 2011-01-04 20:32 ..\nmarco@desktop:~/Projects/AskUbuntu/20105$ touch test\nmarco@desktop:~/Projects/AskUbuntu/20105$ chmod 0666 test \n</code></pre>\n\n<p>So far I have created a folder and made a file with \"bad\" permissions (777 and 666). Now I'll switch into another user and try to manipulate those files.</p>\n\n<pre><code>marco@desktop:~/Projects/AskUbuntu/20105$ sudo su - malicious\nmalicious@desktop:~$ cd /home/marco/Projects/AskUbuntu/20105\nmalicious@desktop:/home/marco/Projects/AskUbuntu/20105$ ls\ntest\nmalicious@desktop:/home/marco/Projects/AskUbuntu/20105$ ls -lah\ntotal 8.0K\ndrwxrwxrwx 2 marco marco 4.0K 2011-01-04 20:33 .\ndrwxr-xr-x 3 marco marco 4.0K 2011-01-04 20:32 ..\n-rw-rw-rw- 1 marco marco 0 2011-01-04 20:33 test\nmalicious@desktop:/home/marco/Projects/AskUbuntu/20105$ touch bad\nmalicious@desktop:/home/marco/Projects/AskUbuntu/20105$ echo \"OVERWRITE\" > test \nmalicious@desktop:/home/marco/Projects/AskUbuntu/20105$ cat test \nOVERWRITE\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>As this \"malicious\" user I was able to place files into the directory and inject text into already existent files. Whereas below, in a directory with 755 and files with 644, I am able to see inside files and directories but I can not edit the files nor create new ones:</p>\n\n<pre><code>malicious@desktop:/home/marco/Projects/AskUbuntu/20105$ cd /home/marco/Projects\nmalicious@desktop:/home/marco/Projects$ touch hey\ntouch: cannot touch `hey': Permission denied\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>For Apache permissions, you're going to want to stick to 0755 and 0644 (AKA <code>umask 022</code>) for folders and files respectively. This allows you, as the owner of the files, to edit and manipulate them while giving Apache the bare minimum levels of access needed to operate.</p>\n",

20112 | 1 | 20118 | 2011-01-05T02:00:55.963 | 4 | 3489 | <p>My girlfriend has an HP dv6000. In ubuntu 10.10 32bit i use the synaptics on it and all is good but when i disable it and enable it the problem starts. When booting the problem was that the synaptics was not working i then made the changes describe in <strong>EDIT 2</strong>. Now when i press the disable button in the synaptics touchpad it disables the mouse AND the keyboard. After enabled the Keyboard keys and Mouse clicks do not work. If i click on the panel below, for example the Applications, Places or System buttons the focus gets stuck there forever. I can open nautilus by clicking on it but i can not use the menus, the ALT+F2 function, see the wireless connections, lower the sound through the panel, etc..</p>
<p>Here comes the weird part. If i press CTRL+ALT+F1 (or any other tty for that matter) and then come back to CTRL+ALT+F7 where the gui is everything works perfect again. This started about a week ago but she told me right now. i checked dmesg which is for sometime now throwing some warnings about <strong>Skipping EDID probe do to cached edid</strong> but for what i could find out this did not create the problem in the start.</p>
<p>NOTE: I do not need to login when i do CTRL+ALT+F1 i just need to change to another tty then come back to F7.</p>
<p>What could be causing this problem?</p>
<p><strong>EDIT 1</strong> - After a couple of tests, this is what happens or is added to /var/log/syslog when i change to CTRL+ALT+F1 after the problem starts:</p>
<p><code>Jan 4 22:33:07 mary acpid: client 1234[0:0] has disconnected<br>
Jan 4 22:33:07 mary acpid: client connected from 1234[0:0]<br>
Jan 4 22:33:07 mary acpid: 1 client rule loaded</code></p>
<p><strong>EDIT 2</strong> - I have solved the synaptics when booting up (the problem was that it was not working at all) by adding this to rc.local:</p>
<p><code>rmmod psmouse<br>
modprobe psmouse proto=imps</code></p>
<p><strong>EDIT 3</strong> - Found two articles about the same problem: <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1470117" rel="nofollow">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1470117</a> - / - <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/549727/+index?comments=all" rel="nofollow">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/549727/+index?comments=all</a></p>
<p><strong>EDIT 4</strong> - After some more tests i found maybe the problem (Not 100% sure). When i click on the disable button in the synaptics touchpad it makes a change in the file:<br>
<code>.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/%gconf.xml</code><br>
and it makes <strong>FALSE</strong> the following line:<br>
<code><entry name="touchpad_enabled" mtime="1294200522" type="bool" value="false"/></code><br>
But when i enable it again it does not change the file. It leaves it <strong>FALSE</strong> that is why i have to do CTRL+ALT+F1 to activate it somehow.</p>
<p><strong>EDIT 5</strong> - I made a file called touchpad.conf in /etc/modprobe.d with the following line: <strong>options psmouse proto=imps</strong> To test. It still did not work.</p>
<p>UPDATE: The following HP Models are affected by this problem on Ubuntu 10.10:</p>

About 8 months ago, I realized my windows partition got corrupted and wouldn't boot. This wasn't a problem since I didn't need it anyway, but now I do need windows. </p>
<p>Using the disk manager I can see a partition called Toshiba System Volume which is 1.6 GB and one called HDD Recovery which is 7.8 GB. I assume the second one is what I need and I'm not sure what the first one is for. Anyway, how do I boot to this one? Is it a matter of configuring GRUB to boot to it? Once I do boot to it will it let me only reformat my windows partition, or is it going to restore the entire hard drive to factory condition? I assume I'll get the general windows installer which lets me choose the partition but, as you can probably tell, I've never used a recover partition.</p>
<p>Should I burn the contents of the partition to a disk and boot to that? Sorry if this is obvious but I'm confused and cannot figure this out.</p>

20189 | 1 | 20193 | 2011-01-05T15:27:09.360 | 4 | 3588 | <p>I'd like to dual-boot install Ubuntu 10.04 on the same hard drive as Windows 7 which has already been installed.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>As to sources on the internet:</p>
<p>I found a website <a href="http://members.iinet.net.au/~herman546/p23.html" rel="nofollow">iinet</a> about
dual-boot installation of Ubuntu
10.10 and Windows 7 on the same hard drive, which I think more specific
than the one on <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot#Install%20Ubuntu" rel="nofollow">Ubuntu
Community</a> without specific
version of the OSes. Since I am
installing Ubuntu 10.04 instead of
10.10, my question is whether their installers are same or almost same
and if I can follow <a href="http://members.iinet.net.au/~herman546/p23.html" rel="nofollow">iinet</a> for
my dual-boot installation? </p>
<p>Or are there better websites for
information about dual-boot
installtion of Ubuntu 10.04 and
Windows 7?</p></li>
<li><p>As to shrinking Windows partitions
to make free space for Ubuntu
partitions:</p>
<p><a href="http://members.iinet.net.au/~herman546/p23.html" rel="nofollow">iinet</a> uses the partition
software in Ubuntu's installer to
shrink the Windows partition. </p>
<p>But I saw in many website that the
partition software in Ubuntu's
installer cannot guarantee shrinking
Windows 7 partitions successfully,
so they recommended in general to
shrink Windows partitions under
Windows itself using its softwares.
For example, in <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoResizeWindowsPartitions" rel="nofollow">Ubuntu
Community</a>, it says:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Some people think that the Windows
partition must be resized only from
within Windows Vista and Windows 7
using the shrink/resize option. ... If you use GParted Partition Editor in the Ubuntu Live CD be careful.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>So I was wondering which way to go
in my situation?</p></li>
<li><p>As to partition for bootloader
files:</p>
<p>In <a href="http://members.iinet.net.au/~herman546/p23.html" rel="nofollow">iinet</a>, I don't see there is
a partition created and dedicated to
boot files (i.e. Grub files). </p>
<p>However, I saw in many websites
strongly suggesting using a boot
partition for Grub files, especially
for the purpose of separation and
protection from installed OS files.</p>
<p>I was wondering which way I should
choose and why?</p></li>
<li><p>As to installing bootloader Grub, </p>
<p>in <a href="http://members.iinet.net.au/~herman546/p23.html" rel="nofollow">iinet</a>, I see that to install
Grub it only needs to specify the
hard drive device for bootloader
installation. </p>
<p>However, in <a href="http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Multiple_OS_Installation#Copy_boot_files_to_the_small_Grub_partition" rel="nofollow">ubuntuguide</a>(for
more than 2 OSes and Ubuntu 9.04),
some commands are needed to run in
order to put Grub configuration
files in MBR, and OS partition, for
the chain-load process (where to
find the files for the next stage). </p>
<p>In <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot#Master%20Boot%20Record%20and%20Boot%20Manager" rel="nofollow">Ubuntu Community</a>, there are
some related sentences which I don't
quite understand how to do in
practice:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>the only thing in your computer
outside of Ubuntu that needs to be
changed is a small code in the MBR
(Master Boot Record) of the first hard
disk. The MBR code is changed to point
to the boot loader in Ubuntu. </p>
<p>If you have a problem with changing
the MBR code, you might prefer to just
install the code for pointing to GRUB
to the first sector of your Ubuntu
partition instead. If you do that
during the Ubuntu installation
process, then Ubuntu won't boot until
you configure some other boot manager
to point to Ubuntu's boot sector.
Windows Vista no longer utilizes
boot.ini, ntdetect.com, and ntldr when
booting. Instead, Vista stores all
data for its new boot manager in a
boot folder. Windows Vista ships with
an command line utility called
bcdedit.exe, which requires
administrator credentials to use. You
may want to read
<a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=112156" rel="nofollow">http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=112156</a>
about it.</p>
<p>Using a command line utility always
has its learning curve, so a more
productive and better job can be done
with a free utility called EasyBCD,
developed and mastered in during the
times of Vista Beta already. EasyBCD
is user friendly and many Vista users
highly recommend EasyBCD. </p>
</blockquote>
<p>In what is quoted above, I was wondering how
exactly I should change the MBR code
to point to the bootloader in
Ubuntu? if I fail to change MBR
code, are the other suggested boot
managers being bcdedit.exe and
EasyBCD in Windows? </p>
<p>With the three sources above, which
one shall I follow?</p></li>
</ol>

It covers a lot more including links on how to repair things should they go wrong.</p>\n\n<p>I have nothing against the \"iinet\" website you've linked to but several steps could be simplified. I'd personally opt to resize the Windows partition <em>before</em> running the installer. This will allow you to just select the \"Install alongside other operating systems\" option when that choice appears and that'll shave off several steps in the installer (and simplify the process).</p>\n\n<p>I guess something worth mentioning is you probably shouldn't read <em>too much</em>. Sounds strange but there are indeed many ways to skin a cat and if you get conflicting advice from different sources, you end up confused. Pick one way and follow it.</p></li>\n<li><h3>Shrinking NTFS</h3>\n\n<p>If fairness to gparted (et al) they offer just as much a guarantee as Windows does resizing it itself. That is to say: none.</p>\n\n<p>If you have data on there that you can't restore with just a reinstall and a small amount of time, <strong>back up your data!</strong> You don't have to go as far as cloning the whole partition (via CloneZilla et al), you can just punt your profile (documents, photos, other media, etc) off to an external disk or even an online backup service.</p>\n\n<p>But for what it's worth, parted (and it's graphical counterparts) is quite a robust tool that doesn't take your data integrity lightly. It will test as much as it can before doing anything. I've never had any problems with gparted in 5 years of using it.</p>\n\n<p>Either approach is equally good. Use whatever you're most comfortable with.</p></li>\n<li><h3>A /boot/ partition</h3>\n\n<p>I don't see any benefit of a dedicated boot partition. It's not needed.</p></li>\n<li><h3>MBR setup</h3>\n\n<p>I'd personally let Ubuntu claim the MBR on the disk (just do the standard setup) it <em>should</em> pick up Windows 7 and add it to the boot list.</p>\n\n<p>Of course things can go wrong at this stage but they're usually repairable. (Unlike my usual advice) I suggest you just roll with it and worry later. A lot of work goes into making Ubuntu dual-boot in a sensible way so you shouldn't need to do anything.</p></li>\n</ol>\n",

The OS is: 10.04. and Nautilus is: 2.30.1 </p>

I hadn't mentioned it, but I am talking about the <strong>List view</strong>... I have been fossicing around in the GConf Editpr and came across a setting for <strong>Compact View</strong> which does exactly what I am referring to... but it only effects the Compact View... that setting is: </p>

<p>...but I can't find the setting for <strong>List View</strong>... I know the capability exists, because I've been using it until only a few days ago, when my system got hung up... </p>

<li><p>For dual-boot installation of Ubuntu
after Windows. Quoted from
<a href="http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Multiple_OS_Installation#Partition_design" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ubuntuguide</a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>If a Windows boot partition exists as
a second NTFS partition, it should be
left alone. If there is a Windows
recovery partition also installed, it
can also be left alone as long as
there are only two NTFS partitions
total on the hard drive (i.e. there is
no NTFS boot partition as well). If
there are a total of 3 NTFS partitions
on the hard drive, then the third
Windows NTFS partition (the recovery
partition) should be removed after
creating Recovery CDs from it (see
here).</p>
</blockquote>
<p>In the last case where Windows has three
partitions, I was wondering why it
says the recovery partition shall be
removed? Is it possible to keep the three and create
another extended partition with
several logical partitions for
installing Ubuntu and dual-booting
the two OSes?</p></li>
<li><p>I plan to dual-boot install Ubuntu
10.04 with existing Windows 7. Following is the layout of the
current partitions of my hard drive
viewed from Windows 7:<br>
<img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/dx4Sl.png" alt="alttext"> </p>
<p>So must I remove the Lenovo_Recovery
(Q:) partition for the same reason
you give for the first question?</p></li>

<pre><code>mii-tool eth0 -F 10baseT-FD
</code></pre>
<p>and activating the eth0 in the toolbar (by clicking "activate eth0") everything works just fine. </p>
<p>Well, up to now, i did not have any problem, because every time i turned on the computer i had to do this, but it was very little effort.But now, i would like to use the machine as a file server, accesing it by ssh, without monitor or keyboard. So, i won't be able to make this actions, and can't do this at startup because mii-tool needs root permissions. So, the question is:</p>
<p>Do you know what does that command do, and how can id make that change permanent? Or do you know any other solution for my problem?</p>
<p>I hope i was clear! If not, tell me and i'll try to be as clearer as possible.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

Then, when trying to launch an exe file, the kernel will run the mono interpreter to handle the command. Binfmt can also be used to launch Windows executables using WINE, or Java .class files using a JVM. To register exe with the kernel:</p>\n\n<p>Become root and turn on the binfmt module in your kernel with this command: </p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo apt-get install binfmt-support\nmodprobe binfmt_misc\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>In addition, you may want to add the <code>modprobe</code> command to your <code>/etc/rc.local</code> boot script, so that it will be executed on boot.</p>\n\n<p>Add the line below to your <code>/etc/fstab</code> file: </p>\n\n<pre><code>binfmt_misc /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc none\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Then, have your system run the following command on boot: </p>\n\n<pre><code>echo ':CLR:M::MZ::/usr/bin/mono:' > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Be sure to mark your .exe files as executable in the filesystem as well: </p>\n\n<pre><code>chmod +x myprogram.exe\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Note that this doesn't change your kernel, just the modules that it loads when you boot your system. In other words, you can still upgrade your kernel without worrying about losing these changes. Similarly, you can upgrade your Mono runtime without affecting any of the invocation methods listed in this section.</p>\n",

<p>two Nvidia GTX 480's (one at x16 & and one at x8)
one Nvidia GTX 460 running at x8</p>
<p>Is there some way, either by a function call in C or an option to <code>lspci</code> that I can determine the bus speed of the graphics cards? When I only use one of the cards for my CUDA program, I'd like to use the one which is running at x16.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Note: <code>lspci -vvv</code> dumps out</p>
<p>For the two GTX 480s. I don't see any differences that pertain to bus speed.</p>

<p>However, I've discovered that the device I'd like to enable this facility for — a USB hard drive — does not have such a file in its corresponding directory, and that attempts to create it are rebuffed.</p>
<p>Is there perhaps a kernel module that needs to be loaded for this to work? Do I need to build a custom kernel? I'm running Ubuntu 10.10.</p>

20278 | 1 | 269690 | 2011-01-06T11:43:19.670 | 15 | 30414 | <p>Like a lot of people, I have a lot of DVDs. But we also have a stupid amount of disk space and a media centre (Boxee) so the DVDs are getting less and less use. It would be nice to convert our DVDs into something more relevant to our needs.</p>
<p>I've dabbled with DVD ripping before but whereas I'd usually transcode down to a smaller picture size with a better video compression algorithm, this takes a silly amount of time. I don't have a couple of hours available for each disk. (<em>Sidebar:</em> is there dedicated, Linux-friendly hardware to improve h264 encoding performance?)</p>
<p>So I was wondering if there's anything that take the DVD filesystem, De-CSS it, and then stitch together any the VOBs that make up the main part of the film and package that up in a wrapping format like MKV. A bonus would be if it could grab the subtitles and stick them in too but that's not a requirement as Boxee can grab the subtitles online if it needs to.</p>

Now back at work, on Win7, I installed Ubuntu One and thought I was going to be able to tick which of the backed-up folders I could download/sync to this machine.</p>
<p>From what I gather after a little research is that whatever I would like to synchronize would need to be in the Ubuntu One folder? There is no way to do this outside of that?</p>
<p>Thanks for confirming, or informing me whether this will be introduced in the future as an option? </p>
<p>Thank you very much for your help on this!</p>

<p>Conky solutions have been offered, but perhaps these aren't the best way of approaching it. What I really want is to stop icons even appearing in that part of the desktop window: that is, I want to make part of the desktop real estate "off-limits" to new icons appearing on the desktop.</p>

20297 | 1 | 20368 | 2011-01-06T13:46:32.090 | 1 | 433 | <p>I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed on a machine for my parents. The thing is they never request updates from Update Manager even the manager itself prompted them so. Moreover, when they are done with whatever they are doing on Ubuntu, they always leave the computer on. And I always have to come back and shut the machine down. Sometimes, the computer even sit idle for hours.</p>
<p>So I want to know whether this is possible in Ubuntu. I am thinking of a script that will be activated after the machine is idle for x minutes. When x minutes have elapsed, Update Manager will automatically update everything listed. (I recall that you need the admin password for this, so is there a workaround?) After all the updates are done, the machine will automatically shutdown.</p>
<p>Is this possible?</p>
