I'm backing up everything in terminal. I don't have a <code>/media/windows</code> folder.<br>

<p>I've been tried in Google Chrome (last dev version), and in Firefox (last stable version), and I've been used the both versions of Moonlight, the <a href="http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/download.aspx" rel="nofollow">lastest stable</a>, and the <a href="http://go-mono.com/moonlight/prerelease.aspx" rel="nofollow">prerelease</a>.</p>

<p>I've gone into <code>System</code> → <code>Preferences</code> → <code>Screensaver</code>, clicked <code>Power Management</code>, then set <code>Put display to sleep when inactive for:</code> to 10 minutes (for both <code>On AC Power</code> and <code>On Battery Power</code>), but the monitor still doesn't enter power save mode, even after an hour.</p>
<p>Anyone have ideas on what to try?</p>
<p>I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS 64-bit desktop on a Dell Latitude E6400 laptop.</p>
<p><strong>Update Sun Jan 16 01:02:45 PST 2011</strong>:</p>
<p>I forgot to mention the laptop is docked, and the monitor is connected via DVI cable to the dock. I haven't tried waiting for power save mode using a VGA cable or no dock.</p>

I'm on a Dell Latitude D630 running 10.10, which is docked and runs two 23\" LCDs. </p>\n\n<p>Here's what I did, and what you can try:</p>\n\n<pre><code>xset s XXX\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>where XXX is the number of seconds you want the pc to be idle before it suspends/poweroff your monitor</p>\n\n<pre><code>xset dpms 0 0 900\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>The first zero is for standby, second is for suspend, and third is the off setting. This will turn off my monitor in 15 minutes if left idle.</p>\n\n<p>You can test dpms standby, suspend and off settings with:</p>\n\n<pre><code>sleep 1; xset dpms force standby\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>You can replace the word \"standby\" in the command above with suspend or off. In my testing, they all did the same thing; they each powered off the monitor (blacklight completely off). When I moved my mouse to wake the monitors, each command did it equally as fast. For my situation, I stuck with off.</p>\n\n<pre><code>xset -q\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>The above command gives you interesting details about your screensaver and DPMS settings. When I ran this command before changing anything, it says</p>\n\n<pre><code>Screen Saver:\nprefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes\ntimeout: 0 cycle: 0\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>and</p>\n\n<pre><code>DPMS (Energy Star):\nStandby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0\nDPMS is Enabled\nMonitor is On\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>On a fresh boot, the timeout and cycle value under Screen Saver are 600. Over time, they change to the above. This is a bug, and I'm sure its been reported @ launchpad.net. I couldn't find the appropriate bug report (if someone does, please share a link).</p>\n\n<p>Now, specifying the commands above do not persist after you log out. The only way I could get it to work was to create a file called xset-start.sh in my home directory. </p>\n\n<p>In the file I have:</p>\n\n<pre><code>#!/bin/bash\n\n/usr/bin/xset dpms 0 0 900 &\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>You need to give the file execute permissions, otherwise it wont work. Open a terminal and run:</p>\n\n<pre><code>chmod u+x xset-start.sh\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>To have startup at logon, do the following:</p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Go to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications</li>\n<li>Click Add</li>\n<li>You can name it xset-startup</li>\n<li>Browse to your home directory where xset-setup.sh is</li>\n<li>Give the startup entry a comment if you'd like and click Add when finished.</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>Test it by restarting your computer. After restarting, open a terminal and run </p>\n\n<pre><code>xset -q\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>make sure the off value for DPMS is 900.</p>\n\n<p>I'm sure there are global files and other per-user startup files this could go in.</p>\n\n<p>this post: <a href=\"https://askubuntu.com/q/45044/859\">External monitors don't go into standby if laptop lid is closed</a> states that the external monitors go to sleep properly if the lid is open on the laptop.

<p>It means i have setup NX server correctly..</p>
<p>But on other machine when i open NX client it is asking for hostname..what name should i give there?</p>
<p>Every tutorial is explaining about how to install and start NX server but not about how to connect to the server from client..</p>

"body": "<p>This is how to move the boot of your 10.10 to the separate partition: </p>\n\n<pre>\nHaving /boot on its own partition is useful if you use many linux \ndistributions, especially on different hard disks. Besides, if your \nroot filesystem gets corrupted, you’ll still be able to boot if your /boot \nis separate.\nLet’s get started.. first of all we need to create a new ext3 partition \nwhich will be our new /boot. In order to decide how big it should be, let’s \nsee how much space our current /boot is taking up. A value of 100Mb should \nsuffice for most needs (unless you’re a kernel hacker with lots of images \nin /boot):\n\n$ du -h /boot\n\nOnce we have an idea about the size, go ahead and create the partition. You \ncan use GParted… or if you prefer the command line, use mkfs:\n# mkfs -t ext3 /dev/hda#\nNow let’s assume that the partition you just created is /dev/hdaX (replace X \nwith the actual digit). We’ll proceed as follows (prepend sudo before each \ncommand, or relogin as root):\n1. # mkdir /mnt/newboot\n2. # mount /dev/hdaX /mnt/newboot\n3. # cp -dpR /boot/* /mnt/newboot/\n4. # mv /boot /oldboot\n5. # mkdir /boot\n6. # nano -w /etc/fstab\nand modify the /boot line to:\n/dev/hdaX /boot ext3 ro 0 0\nNote that we want /boot to be mounted read-only after the OS boot process. \nYou can also delete the whole entry altogether to prevent /boot from being \nmounted.\n7. # umount /mnt/newboot\n8. # mount /dev/hdaX /boot\n9. # nano -w /boot/grub/menu.lst\nNow change the entries corresponding to your old root partition to /dev/hdaX. \nIn grub’s terms, that translates to (hd0,X-1) if it’s the first hard drive. \nFor eg, /dev/hda8 is (hd0,7). Note that you also need to change /boot/xxx.x \nentries to /xxx.x since the /boot partition is itself the root partition in \ngrub’s eyes. For eg, /boot/grub becomes /grub. Finally, install grub onto the \nMBR. Issue:\n10. # grub-install /dev/hda\n(Replace /dev/hda with the /dev/… entry of the hard disk where you want to \ninstall Grub to).\nAll done! Now reboot.\nP.S: Any time you want to write to /boot, do a:\n$ sudo mount -o remount,rw /boot</pre> \n\n<p>Reference: <a href=\"http://tekguru.wordpress.com/2007/09/04/howto-moving-boot-to-its-own-partition/\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://tekguru.wordpress.com/2007/09/04/howto-moving-boot-to-its-own-partition/</a> </p>\n\n<p>And this is how to edit the automatic entries: </p>\n\n<pre>Creating the Custom Menu\n\nThe user can either edit the default /etc/grub.d/40_custom file or create a \nnew one. The easiest way to create the content of a custom menu is to copy a \nworking entry from /boot/grub/grub.cfg. Once copied, the contents of \n40_custom can be tailored to the user's desires.\n\nAccording to the default sample custom file (/etc/grub.d/40_custom) the \nfirst two lines of any custom file in /etc/grub.d should be:\n#!/bin/sh\nexec tail -n +3 $0\nThe user can copy existing menuentries from the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file (...)\n\nGeneral menuentry Construction Rules:\n\nThe first line must start with menuentry and end with {\nThe area between the quotation symbols is what will appear on the GRUB 2 menu. \nEdit as desired.\nThe last line of the menuentry must be }\nDo not leave empty spaces at the end of lines\nThe set root= line should point to the GRUB 2 /boot location ( (hdX,Y) )\nThe root reference in in the linux line should point to the system partition.\nIf GRUB 2 cannot find the referenced kernel, try replacing the UUID with the \ndevice name (example: /dev/sda6 ).\nA sample entry copied from the grub.cfg and altered by the user might look \nlike this:\nmenuentry \"My Default Karmic\" {\nset root=(hd0,1)\nsearch --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set cb201140-52f8-4449-9a95-749b27b58ce8\nlinux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-11-generic root=UUID=cb201140-52f8-4449-9a95-749b27b58ce8 ro quiet splash\ninitrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-11-generic\n}</pre>\n\n<p>Reference: <a href=\"https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2\" rel=\"nofollow\">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2</a></p>\n",

<p>I did it, and it solved the network indicator in the wingpanel, But now every time I turn on my computer, the connection takes like 2 minutes or more to connect, when before installing this thing it did it immediately.</p>

In Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, I want to connect to my VPN through the NetworkManager applet. I installed all the network manager packages, including the gnome client.</p>
<p>I understand I need to add the "Notification Area" to the panel, which I have done. I checked that the NetworkManager is running:</p>
<pre><code>nate@nate-desktop:~$ service network-manager status
network-manager start/running, process 763
</code></pre>
<p>In /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf, I have added managed=true (don't know if this matters, but I saw it suggested on one forum):</p>
<pre><code>nate@nate-desktop:~$ more /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf
# This file is installed into /etc/NetworkManager, and is loaded by
# NetworkManager by default. To override, specify: '--config file'
# during NM startup. This can be done by appending to DAEMON_OPTS in
# the file:
#
# /etc/default/NetworkManager
#
[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile
[ifupdown]
#managed=false
managed=true
</code></pre>
<p>I restarted NetworkManager and tried rebooting, too. At this point, it looks like NetworkManager is running but it's not appearing in the NotificationArea of the panel. I don't know what else to try. Any ideas?</p>

I'll move to thunderbird fully if I'm happy with it. </p>
<p>Problems I face with evolution is that I have to have the GUI running always if I want to get instant alerts and send mail immediately. Also it loads the messages slow and even after I move to the next mail, it slowly downloads all the linked images before moving on.</p>

20805 | 1 | 21888 | 2011-01-09T21:15:08.863 | 3 | 1121 | <p>After I updated ubuntu (I believe it was most likely a kernel update) and restarted I selected ubuntu from the windows boot loader (I am using wubi). At this point I would usually land on the grub loader; however, I see something about NTFS file not found and a couple other screens flash then the computer restarts. I have tried pressing ESC right after to try and get some options, but I think grub is just not found or something...</p>
<p>Not sure what is going on.. Any help would be much appreciated :).
Thanks!</p>

<p>I was testing printf out as a viable method of convert a Unicode Codepoint Hex-literal into its Unicoder character representation, </p>
<p>I was looking good, and seemed flawless..(btw. the built-in printf can't do this at all (I think)... </p>
<p>I then thought to test it at the lower extreme end of the code-spectrum, and it failed with an avalanche of errors.. All in the ASCII range (= 7 bits) </p>
<p>The strangest thing was that 3 value printed normally; they are: </p>
<ul>
<li>$ \u0024 </li>
<li>@ \u0040 </li>
<li>` \u0060 </li>
</ul>
<p>I'd like to know what is going on here. The ASCII character-set is most definitely part of the Unicode Code-point sequence.... </p>
<p>I am puzzled, and still without a good way to bash script this particular converion.. Suggestions are welcome. </p>
<p>To be entertained by that same avalanche of errors, paste the following code into a terminal... </p>
<pre><code># Here is one of the error messages
# /usr/bin/printf: invalid universal character name \u0041
# ...for them all, run the following script
(
for nib1 in {0..9} {A..F}; do
for nib0 in {0..9} {A..F}; do
[[ $nib1 < A ]] && nl="\n" || nl=" "
$(type -P printf) "\u00$nib1$nib0$nl"
done
done
echo
)
</code></pre>

<p>I have a Dell mini 9, and the wireless has worked without trouble in Ubuntu and Xubuntu versions 8.04 and 10.04. </p>
<p>However, after installing lxde, the wireless doesnt connect. Network manager recognizes the local networks, and will say that it is connected, but <code>ifconfig</code> does not confirm the connection or the existance of a <code>wlan0</code>.</p>
<p>I have another Ubuntu 10.04 notebook that works fine.</p>
<p>My wireless device is Broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g</p>
<p><strong>What I have tried</strong> </p>
<p>I have tried to remove and install <code>network-mananager</code> and <code>inxi</code> but neither work, and </p>
<p><code>sudo modprobe wl</code> returns</p>
<blockquote>
<p>WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, it will be ignored in a future release.</p>

20857 | 1 | 21912 | 2011-01-10T03:52:00.817 | 7 | 8179 | <p>This is so damn frustrating :-|
I've spent like 20 hours on this nice error, and seems like dozens of people over Internet too, and no clear solution yet.</p>
<p>I have non-system RAID-5 of 5 disks, and it's fine. But during boot up it says that
"/dev/md0 is not ready yet or not present" and asks to press 'S'. Very nice for Ubuntu Server - I have to bring monitor and keyboard to go next.</p>
<p>After this system boots and it's all fine. md0 device works, /proc/mdstat is fine.
When I do mount -a - it mounts this array without errors and works fine.</p>
<hr>
<p>As a dumb and shameful workaround I added noauto in /etc/fstab, and did mounting in /etc/rc.local - it works fine then.</p>
<p>Any hints how to make it work properly?</p>

<p>that I found from <a href="http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/SwatList" rel="nofollow">http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/SwatList</a> , but the issue's still here.</p>
<p>How do I fix this?</p>
<p><strong>EDIT:</strong><br>
Apparently, it's an NVIDIA driver bug, which has something to do with the message tray. Is this correct? How do I go around this issue?</p>

<p>I usually end up deleting the entire <code>known_hosts</code> file, which I have no problems with doing, but just out of curiosity, is it possible to remove just a single entry? </p>
<p>I opened the <code>known_hosts</code> file, but I am struggling to understand its contents.</p>
<p>Below is the message I faced, which led me to ask this question:</p>
<pre><code>Add correct host key in /home/wissen16/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending key in /home/wissen16/.ssh/known_hosts:1
RSA host key for foo.com has changed and you have requested strict checking.

20871 | 1 | 20873 | 2011-01-10T08:41:07.467 | 7 | 1987 | <p>I know there is something different about the environment of the Terminal command-line and the environment in a bash script, but I don't know what that difference is... </p>
<p>Here is the example which finally led me to ask this quesiton; it may flush out some of the differences. </p>
<p>I am trying to strip leading '0's from a number, with this command.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>var="000123"; var="${var##+(0)}" ; echo $var</code> </li>
</ul>
<p>When I run this command from the Terminal's command-line, I get: <strong><code>123</code></strong> </p>
<p>However, when I run it from within a script, it doesn't work; I get: <strong><code>000123</code></strong> </p>
<p>I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, and tried all the following with the sam results:</p>
<ul>
<li>GNOME Terminal 2.30.2 </li>
<li>Konsole 2.4.5</li>
<li>#!/bin/bash </li>
<li>#!/bin/sh </li>
</ul>
<p>My bash version 4 1 5 1 release i486-pc-linux-gnu (in terminals and scripts)</p>
<p>'shopt' differences between CLI and Script: </p>
<pre><code> CLI Script
on off checkwinsize
on off expand_aliases
on off extglob
on off histappend
off on hostcomplete
</code></pre>
<hr>
<p>What is causing this difference? </p>
<p>Even if some upgrade will make it work in scripts...<br>
I am trying to find out the <strong>what</strong> and <strong>why</strong>,
so in future, I'll know what to look out for. </p>
<hr>
<p>Here are 3 <strong>bash</strong> ways to strip leading '0's. (I knew only one when I first asked this queston) </p>
<pre><code>var=0001230; var="$[10#$var]"; echo $var # fastest= 1.00 integers only
var=0001230; var="${var##+(0)}"; echo $var # slower x 1.25 works with strings, but requires shopt -s extglob
var=0001230; var="${var#${var%%[!0]*}}"; echo $var # slower x 1.61 works with strings
</code></pre>

<div> //div2
</div> //end of div2
</div> //end of div1

<p>if my cursor is at end of div1 then I want div1 tag to be highlighted. So that I know if I have closed my tags correctly or not.</p>

20880 | 1 | 20890 | 2011-01-10T11:43:29.107 | 14 | 16387 | <p>I installed the <strong>postgresql-8.4</strong> package with default options. Everything worked fine, however I can't seem to manage to create unicode databases:</p>
<pre><code>-- This doesn't work
createdb test1 --encoding UNICODE
-- This works
createdb test2
</code></pre>
<p>The error message,</p>
<pre><code>createdb: database creation failed: ERROR: new encoding (UTF8) is incompatible with the encoding of the template database (SQL_ASCII)
</code></pre>
<p>is a bit puzzling because (afaik) I don't use a template for creating the new db, or is it implicitely referring to the default "postgres" database for some reason ?</p>
<p>Or maybe I'm missing a setting in a <code>.conf</code> file ?</p>

When I log in Gnome appears to have lost a lot of its settings: it plays sounds in weird places, UI elements look like they're from the 90s (GTK+ defaults) and it's generally pretty hideous.</p>
<p>Note everything <em>works</em> fine. It's not like my profile doesn't exist because I can browse the internet fine (Firefox knows my bookmarks, history, passwords, etc) and my desktop is unscathed (apart from the icon theme).</p>
<p>Manually restarting gdm doesn't fix this. I have to do a full reboot.</p>
<p>Now I'm almost certain that this is a nvidia issue causing X to baulk (I've seen similarish threads on nvnews) and I'm happy with that (my fault for running their latest drivers all the time). What I'm concerned about is why Gnome looks so fugly. Is there anything I can do to force it to reload its settings without restarting the whole computer.</p>
<p>Restarting is an issue for me as I run several daemons that other computers on the network depend upon.</p>
<p>This is what I mean by ugly/fugly... Look at that scroll bar!</p>

<p>In the <em>Keyboard Shortcuts</em> preferences, I have set as the minimize shortcut <code>Mod4+M</code>, which I got by capturing the Apple <kbd>Command</kbd> key and the <kbd>M</kbd> key.

20953 | 1 | 20955 | 2011-01-10T22:25:35.317 | 88 | 282386 | <p>I've been updating some of the default profile for bash, and saw from the tutorials I was following that I could reload the new profile with the new environment settings by using:</p>
<pre><code>source /etc/bash.bashrc
</code></pre>
<p>The only thing is - the new environment variables were only available to my current user - and were ignored when I used sudo. They only became available to sudo when I closed my terminal session and rejoined.</p>
<p>When I try to use:</p>
<pre><code>sudo source /etc/bash.bashrc
</code></pre>
<p>I get the error:</p>
<pre><code>sudo: source: command not found
</code></pre>
<p>Is there a simple way to load in the new bash profile settings for sudo without having to close the terminal and restart?</p>
<p>--
Initially, I was using some installer scripts which referenced the variables. I found that while they could access the variables when I called the scripts directly (although, this would cause a later problem with creating directories as I needed to be root), calling the install scripts using sudo wouldn't.</p>
<p>I proved this by testing with these simple commands:</p>
<pre><code>echo $ENV_VARIABLE
sudo echo $ENV_VARIABLE
</code></pre>
<p>The first would output the variable's value, but the second wouldn't output anything.</p>

<p>How do you give your account root privileges in Linux so that you don't need to <code>sudo</code> every single command that requires privileges? It's even more annoying than Windows's User Accounts Control.</p>
<p>(<em>Please</em>... I don't need a lecture on how I would be living a dangerous life. Thank you.)</p>

20985 | 1 | null | 2011-01-11T01:11:00.040 | 2 | 468 | <p>This is related to question <a href="https://askubuntu.com/q/19245/8065">Why is this bypassing the SUDO password?</a>. In that one of the responders answered the question in an awesome way, and very, <em>very</em> clear to any newbie. Now here is a question that I can't seem to figure. </p>
<p>I wrote a script for starting the vmware firefox plugin (don't worry. I gave that up and now run vBox <em>very</em> happily. I left vmware for my servers :) )</p>
<p>I needed to start the plugin as sudo, but I also needed to pass an argument (password) to it, that happened to be the same.</p>
<p>So, if my password was <code>Hello123</code>, the command would be: <code>sudo ./myscript.sh hi other Hello123</code></p>
<p>Running from the command line, the script would ask for my sudo password and then run. I wanted to capture <em>that</em> password and pass it as well. I also wanted to run graphically, so I tried gksudo, and there is an option <code>-p</code> that returns the password for variable assignment.</p>
<p>Well, that was a nightmare because I would still get prompted for the original sudo: see below</p>
<pre><code>Find UserName
vUser=$USER
Find password (and hopefully enable sudo)
vP=gksudo -p -D somedescriptiontext echo
Execute command
gksudo ./myscript.sh hi $vUser $vP
</code></pre>
<p>And I still get prompted twice.</p>
<p>So my question is tri-fold: </p>
<ol>
<li><p>Is there a variable I can use for the password, just like there is one for user, <code>$USER</code>? </p></li>
<li><p>Is there a different way I should be assigning the value resulting of the command I have in <code>$vP</code>? I am wondering if executing the way I have it, does it in an uninitiated session and not the current one, since I am getting some additional warning type errors on some variables.</p></li>
<li><p>I tried using Zenity to just capture the text, but then of course, I couldn't pass that value to sudo, so I could only use it as a parameter, which puts me back in 2 prompts.</p></li>
</ol>
