<p>I'm assuming that this is due to it still thinking there is only one monitor. I was hoping someone new of a gconf-editor setting that I could set with the rest of my screen that changes my laptop from internal monitor to my dual-screen setup.</p>

<li><p>I would have a machine that dual-booted both Windows 7 (64-bit) and Ubuntu (64-bit).</p></li>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>After installing ubuntu I setup my email in evolution, which is fine but on balance I prefer Thunderbird so I installed and set that up.</p>
<p>Under preferred applications I have set the mail to Thunderbird, but when I click on the icon in the top right (the mail envelope) and select mail it still loads evolution.</p>

<p>ftpuser is the user I set up so I can ftp to /var/www from another machine on the network. www-data is the user php uses. I double checked using <code>whoami</code> from php.</p>

<p>I'm trying to retrieve data from a "Western Digital MyBook World Edition (white light)" NAS device. This is basically an embedded Linux box with a 1TB HDD in it formatted in ext3. It stopped booting one day for no apparent reason.</p>
<p>I have extracted the HDD from the NAS device and installed it in a desktop machine running Ubuntu 10.10 in the hope of accessing the files on the drive. I have followed instructions in this forum post, intended to mount the drive through Terminal: <a href="http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/forum/t-90514/how-to-recover-data-from-wd-my-book-world-edition-nas-device#post-976452" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/forum/t-90514/how-to-recover-data-from-wd-my-book-world-edition-nas-device#post-976452</a></p>
<p>I have identified the partition that I want to mount and recover files from as /dev/sd4 by running "fdisk -l" and getting this:</p>

<p>When I try to mount using: "mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb4 /media/xyz" I get the following error:</p>

It was using a KDE login screen. Now I've upgraded to 10.04 and use the Gnome login screen and I can't see any keyboard shortcuts to shutdown the server. Is there a shortcut and if so, what is it? </p>
<p>Further info - I would normally shut down the server without turning on the monitor, which was easy using the keyboard shortcuts. Doing it with a mouse is not so easy without the monitor being on.</p>

<p>When I close my lid or select the suspend option, the machine suspends as indicated by the slowly pulsing power indicator.</p>
<p>I'll put the machine in my bag and after a while it seems that the machine resumes, at least I think. When ever I go to get it, it's overheated and the system cannot resume. I am guessing that the processor resets in this overheat condition, but heat is still generated. This has happened about three times and I'm getting worried that I'll end up damaging the machine.</p>
<p>How can I diagnose why the system is resuming from suspend? Can I force it to never resume from suspend if the lid is down?</p>

22011 | 1 | 24802 | 2011-01-17T18:49:30.210 | 3 | 672 | <p><strong>Question</strong>: What package contains the subprogram responsible for the KMenu option "sleep"?</p>
<p><strong>Background</strong>: I've been running KUbuntu 10.04.1 and I am completely updated. Recently (within the past month), the "sleep" menu item has stopped working. It just sits there waiting like I clicked nothing. I've check all of the logs in /var/log and nothing is added when I click sleep.</p>
<p>I'm guessing that something I updated has bollux'ed things up, but I don't know which package contains the component that I need to roll back. In the meantime, I've installed uswsusp, but s2ram & s2both don't ask my password when the laptop resumes -- which <strong>really</strong> bothers me. So now that I've got a little time to track this down, I had to post -- any ideas??</p>
<p><strong>Update</strong>: I've messed around with the versions of acpi for quite some time. It appears to be working. If I run <code>sudo /etc/acpi/sleep.sh</code> it works and the computer suspends. As above, it does not lock the screen first, but at least the damn thing suspends. Oddly, <code>sudo /etc/acpi/sleepbtn.sh</code> does not work.</p>

The replacement text may contain any valid shell input, including shell metacharacters. The first word of the replacement text is tested for aliases, but a word that is identical to an alias being expanded is not expanded a second time. This means that one may alias ls to \"ls -F\", for instance, and Bash does not try to recursively expand the replacement text. <strong>If the last character of the alias value is a space or tab character, then the next command word following the alias is also checked for alias expansion</strong>. </p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p><sup>(Emphasis mine).</sup><br>\nBash only checks the first word of a command for an alias, any words after that are not checked. That means in a command like <code>sudo ll</code>, only the first word (<code>sudo</code>) is checked by bash for an alias, <code>ll</code> is ignored. We can tell bash to check the next word after the alias (i.e <code>sudo</code>) by adding a space to the end of the alias value.</p>\n",

<p>I'm aware of the more robust solutions like apt-proxy, but I'd prefer this simpler solution if it's possible in order to spare the host the overhead of running extra services.</p>

of 10.10. I've tried with and without the latest hplip.</p>
<p>Recently, sometimes I can get it to print a few things, but eventually it always fails (usually when printing a pdf from the document viewer (also doesn't
work with adobe pdf reader)). Sometimes it fails so bad the printer gives an error saying it needs
to be turned off and on again.</p>
<p>I can't seem to find a fix anywhere, I've googled all over the past
year and tried every fix I could find. It does say that the
<code>/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp</code> has failed.</p>
<p>It also doesn't make a difference if I create the printer using
hp-setup or Ubuntu's own printing control panel. I delete and
re-create the printer, no difference eventually. I use the default
printer settings or custom settings, no difference.</p>
<p>I can print perfectly find to a networked printer at home - an HP
officejet 6310. It seems to be networked HP printers at work that I can't print to
anymore (except occasionally right after re-installing the printer
driver).</p>
<p>What's the recommended way to install HP printer drivers and reset
or clean out everything from before. Or where are the right logs
to read or debug commands to do to find out what may be the real cause
of the printing problems?</p>

22065 | 1 | 22079 | 2011-01-18T03:08:09.367 | 3 | 1145 | <p>Made a sad discovery today. I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. My client is in the ad business and she had a marketing competition task for me. She wanted me to visit websites of the competitors, and export the home pages as PDF. However, she wanted me to do so with embedded hyperlinks.</p>
<p><strong>As it turns out, Firefox (and even the latest Chrome) on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS do not embed hyperlinks in PDF web page exports.</strong></p>
<p>Sure, there are several Chrome and FF plugins that let you export as PDF, but what these do is connect to the URL remotely, generate the PDF remotely, and then force a download in your browser to download it from a remote location. That's not good for me, though, because some of these competitor pages require an initial login. That means that all I get back on the PDF printing from these FF or Chrome plugins is a login page.</p>
<p>Is there a way to get around this problem, to fix the broken PDF printer on Ubuntu 10.04?</p>

<p>I'm running low on hard drive space and have been prompted to remove unused applications. Is there a way to find unused applications/programs in Ubuntu 10.4. I have removed several applications in the software center. My concern is that with the Ubuntu updates I will run out of space soon.</p>

<p>I tried to install the wubi version. Same problem, but when I tried one of the other boot options, I got in and managed to install Ubuntu. However, after that install, I never was able to boot into Ubuntu again.</p>
<p>Same problem with the traditional route. I tried to boot up the Live CD. No luck. A nice Ubuntu screen, then auto reboot.</p>
<p>So, the answer must be in the boot options. I know this thing must be posible, but I need help figuring out which options to set. Anybody got any ideas? Because I've been raising some serious steam from Google, and don't seem to find any useful information anymore. And I really need to ditch Windows. </p>

22092 | 1 | 22196 | 2011-01-18T09:58:19.677 | 8 | 671 | <p>I use spell-checker for 4 languages, <code>en</code>, <code>de</code>, <code>fr</code>, and <code>lb</code>.</p>
<p>If I enable <code>Spellchecking and writing aids</code> for <code>en</code>, <code>de</code> or <code>fr</code> in <code>System -> Administration -> Language Support</code> there will be multiple versions of each language available, e.g. <code>en</code> , <code>en_CA</code>, <code>en_GB</code>, ...</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/BeFW8.png" alt="alt text"></p>
<p>Is there a possibility to select only one of those language versions while enabling the language, or removing the others afterwards. It would be enough to remove them from the selection menu.</p>
<p>I would like to use the version which is equal to the country the language originally comes from: e.g. <code>de_DE</code>, <code>fr_FR</code>, <code>en_GB</code>. For <code>lb</code> there is currently only <code>lb_LU</code> so there is no problem (yet).</p>
<p>Instead of 4 languages I currently have around 20, which is kind of annoying when switching the language ( which I do quite often).</p>
<p>There might be a similar problem for the menu translations, where if I understand correctly you can choose the order in which translations are applied if they exist.</p>
<p>Any suggestions?</p>

I start it by typing <code>java -jar foo.jar</code> and to stop it find out its pid and kill it. Killing it doesn't cause any data loss or corruption or anything, just FYI. Its tedious to do both these steps because the first command has to be executed from a particular directory, ie <code>/usr/share/jetty</code> (The kill can be executed from anywhere). </p>
<p>So I was thinking something on the lines of </p>
<p><code>service foo start</code> and <code>service foo stop</code> to start and stop services. Is that possible, and more importantly correct? Is there any other solution? </p>

The mnemonic for the kibibyte is "kilo binary byte", and "KiB" is pronounced "Kibibyte".</p>\n<p>All of this is defined in the <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_80000\" rel=\"noreferrer\">IEC_80000 Standard</a>.</p>\n<p>Note that a mebibyte is not defined as 2²⁰, but as (2<sup>10</sup>)<sup><sup>2</sup></sup>, although they are equal. A gibibyte is (2<sup>10</sup>)<sup><sup>3</sup></sup>, a tebibyte is (2<sup>10</sup>)<sup><sup>4</sup></sup> and so on.</p>\n<pre><code>Prefix Bytes Prefix Bytes\n1 Byte = (2^10)^0 = 1 1 Byte = (10^3)^0 = 1\n1 Kibibyte = (2^10)^1 = 1024 1 Kilobyte = (10^3)^1 = 1000\n1 Mebibyte = (2^10)^2 = 1048576 1 Megabyte = (10^3)^2 = 1000000\n1 Gibibyte = (2^10)^3 = 1073741824 1 Gigabyte = (10^3)^3 = 1000000000\n1 Tebibyte = (2^10)^4 = 1099511627776 1 Terabyte = (10^3)^4 = 1000000000000\n</code></pre>\n<p>Keep in mind that, <em>very often,</em> the term kilobyte is used when the author means kibibyte. The binary unit was only introduced around 1999, as Randy Orrison points out.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>As <strong>nealmcb</strong> found out in the comments, there is an official policy on this:<br>\n<a href=\"https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy\" rel=\"noreferrer\">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy</a></p>\n<p>In summary, this policy reminds developers to either use SI or IEC prefixes, but to never mix them. It goes on to say:</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>For file sizes there are two possibilities:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Show both, base-10 and base-2 (in this order). An example is the Linux kernel: "2930277168 512-byte hardware sectors: (1.50 TB/1.36 TiB)"</li>\n<li>Only show base-10, or give the user the opportunity to decide between base-10 and base-2 (the default must be base-10).</li>\n</ul>\n</blockquote>\n",

22127 | 1 | 22132 | 2011-01-18T14:38:50.250 | 2 | 1103 | <p>I have been running processor and memory intensive tasks past 2 weeks. But, even after i stop the run, the system is pathetically slow. A simple operation like opening the terminal by clicking on the icon takes 4 5 seconds. And firefox hangs a lot . I have scp'ed about 60L files from my server ( which is in the next room ) to the local system and it has been running since yesterday morning(30 hours and counting) . How to diagnose what is taking up so much of the available resources that Linux feels worse than Vista ? For now, i cannot restart the system as the scp operation is still running :( I checked System Monitor and it shows CPU1 and CPU2 usage between 20-40% [it keeps fluctuating].</p>
<p>Configuration : 64-bit AMD processor, 2 GB Ram. </p>
<p>I ran top to see the swap availability and this is what i saw > Total Swap : 4095992k . Used -> 198872k . Free : 3897120k </p>
<p>RAM availability : </p>
<p>1931136k total, 1493656k used, 437480k free, 753584k buffers</p>

This is complicated by multi-processor and scaling processor technologies but it's basically an easy thing to check.</p>\n\n<p>As the processor gets busier the system will slow down in response.</p>\n\n<h2>IO (Input/Output) aka Disk Activity</h2>\n\n<p>This is a key issue for modern machines with plenty of RAM and strong processors. The fact is, there is only so much bandwidth on the PCI bus and in-between all the parts of the computer. Copying files from the hard drive to the network causes slowdown in disk access and device access.</p>\n\n<p>Accessing files creates file caches in memory and uses processing power to generate protocols needed to shuffle the data to a different place.</p>\n\n<h2>Memory (RAM)</h2>\n\n<p>If your computer ran out of memory, your programs would simply halt and/or crash. Instead the system starts putting lots of application data onto the swap partition. If you have a very intensive process that uses all of your ram, then you will find the entire of gnome and the ubuntu desktop will be saved to disk in the swap while the process completes.</p>\n\n<p>Trying to load another process will take time as the data has to be recovered from the swap area which is orders of magnitudes slower than ram. Even when your process has finished, there will still be large chunks of important system data in swap which will degrade performance when it's pulled back for use.</p>\n\n<p>Obviously communicating with the disk causes i/o overhead and swapping is to be avoided if at all possible. This last item is the most likely cause of your issues and I'm sorry to say, there isn't much that can be done about it. Make sure your processes are really gone using the <code>top</code> command mentioned above and if they are, be patient with your computer as it tries to recover large chunks of memory from the disk just after such processes.</p>\n",

<p>Obviously, a logical follow-up - how does unity know how to classify the applications into those groups? Is it the info in the .desktop links to them?</p>

<p>When using the Terminal application in Ubuntu I never seem to hear any alerts. How do I turn these sounds on?</p>
<p>I've tried looking in Edit > Profile Preferences and confirming that "Terminal Bell" is checked (which it is.) I've also checked System > Preferences > Sound and I'm using the default Ubuntu them with the "Alert Volume" cranked. Music and video sound fine.</p>
<p>To simulate a bell I've tried irssi, typing <code>echo -e "\a"</code>, hitting tab and backspace but nothing seems to make a sound.</p>
<p>How do I fix this?</p>

<p>That's just an example, but more generally, in a system with multiple cards, can network manager be made to remember their status? (Like the way Windows will allow you enable/disable a NIC).</p>
<p>I believe that you can disable a NIC permanently by editing files, but I'm hoping for a more ad-hoc situation - if it would just remember my choice, that would be grand.</p>

<p>But when you then change (edit) that network to be "Available to all users", the password moves somewhere else. I'd like to know where, because if it's a PEAP network, that's effectively your Active Directory password.</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/boOI0.jpg" alt="alt text"></p>
<p><strong>Background</strong>
I tick most WIFI networks as "available to all users" not to actually make them available (it's a single-user laptop anyway), but rather to prevent anyone from seeing my password for that network in clear text simply by right clicking on the network, clicking on security tab and ticking "show password". This is because when you make a network "available to all users", the act of editing that network triggers a system prompt via policykit.</p>
<p>This is the same reason I instantly un-install Seahorse after a fresh install. Crazy security risk allowing this.</p>

This will work for development. When you're done coding, simply copy the CSS that Less.js generates (from your browser's inspector) and place that into a file, add a .css extension, then remove the Less.js script tag from the HTML pages and substitute the CSS file you just created. </p>\n\n<p>Either way, use Less.js.</p>\n",

<p>Let's say I have a file called "jobs.todo" in "~/Ubuntu One" on my desktop, and this contains the following:</p>
<p><em>Job 1: description<br>
Job 2: description<br>
Job 3: description</em> </p>
<p>As I have my laptop connected to the internet, this file will appear on both computers.</p>
<p>I disconnect my laptop, and take it away with me on a journey. While I'm away, I think of another job I have to get done and add it to the file, which will now read:</p>
<p><em>Job 1: description<br>
Job 2: description<br>
Job 3: description<br>
Job 4: description</em> </p>
<p>When I get home, I go back to my desktop and think of something else I need to get done, so I add this to the desktop computer's "jobs.todo" file, forgetting that I'd already altered this file on the laptop.</p>
<p>This file will read:</p>
<p><em>Job 1: description<br>
Job 2: description<br>
Job 3: description<br>
Job 5: description</em> </p>
<p>and the file will be synchronised with the cloud soon afterwards, because the desktop machine is connected to the internet.</p>
<p>Some while later, I start up my laptop, it connects itself to the internet wirelessly, and synchronisation with the cloud takes place.</p>
<p>I suspect that the desktop version (with Job 5 in it) will be copied from the cloud, and I will lose the file containing Job 4, because the datestamp on the cloud's version of the file will be later than that on the laptop</p>

I can also use the "Grid" plugin of Compiz to position quickly the window around my current monitor. The grid plugin doesn't seem work across monitor however.</p>
<p>What I need is a quicker way to move the current window to the other screen. In my current dual-monitor setup, I find myself needing to move the focus window to the other monitor as I focus on working on something else (and move it back afterward).</p>
<p>If I use XMonad (or other tiling managers), this would be rather easy. However, many applications that I use (Gnome Do, MATLAB, image viewers, custom apps that I write, ...) do not work well with a tiling manager. </p>
<p>So my question is: is there a shortcut key combination that moves the currently focused window to the other monitor (and back)?</p>

To that end, what is the best file system on top of a layer of encryption? Is it JFS since it "does less" and there for is computationally less expensive?</p>

22231 | 1 | null | 2011-01-19T04:07:36.340 | 2 | 5059 | <p>I downloaded the N64 emulator off of the Software center a while ago, and I was doing OK with using the keyboard. Then a friend of mine gave me the brilliant idea of getting a USB controller. So I got it and it was working fine with the Mupen64Plus, the GFCE Ultra NES, and the ZSNES emulators, until I got the rom for Turok. The controls are different in that game than the others, and utilizes the four yellow "C" buttons that would be on a N64 controller. The Logitech (F310 if it might be useful to know) I got, looks much more like a PS2 or PS3 controller... four buttons on the right, 2 360 directional sticks that push down as a separate button, etc..</p>
<p>So Turok uses the four yellow "C" buttons as the main movement for it's character. I don't have so many buttons so I started to mess with using the "U" and "V" axis 360 directional stick. </p>
<p>All of a sudden, the controller started to manipulate the cursor, and before I knew it the mouse arrow was sliding to the top left corner of the screen. It wouldn't interact with the controller anymore, and the mouse itself, when moved, would move with great resistance back to the top left corner of the screen. </p>
<p>My immediate solution solution was to unplug the controller from the USB.</p>
<p>Now, every time I plug the controller back in, it sends the cursor flailing into the corner of my screen.</p>
<p>I've looked up getting all sorts of "jscalibrators" and other junk from the Software center and I've typed stuff into the terminal from other forums, postings that asked similar questions, but it's been totally hit or miss... mostly miss.</p>
<p>I can't quite figure out what to tell the computer to do to stop thinking the gamepad is the mouse. I been get so frustrated about this over the past two days, I've been taking afternoon naps after researching and fighting for a few hours. </p>
<p>Logitech support hung up on me before even connecting me to a human.</p>

22243 | 1 | 22244 | 2011-01-19T07:21:42.373 | 3 | 11665 | <p>Okay, in my GUI, Ubuntu only allowed me to set a resolution for 1360x768 and 1024x768 even though I know darn well my P76 monitor is capable of 1280x1024.</p>
<p>So, after a little investigation I used <code>cvt</code> and <code>xrandr</code> to figure out that I can add these lines to my <code>/etc/gdm/Init/Default</code> file (first four lines are actually <em>one</em> line, I've just split it for readability):</p>
<pre><code>xrandr --newmode 1280x1024 109.00
1280 1368 1496 1712
1024 1027 1034 1063
-hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA1 1280x1024
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1280x1024
</code></pre>
<p>Now, that works fine, I find that the login screen is actually in 1280x1024.</p>
<p>However, when I actually log in, it reverts to 1024x768 which is a serious pain.</p>
<p>The output from <code>xrandr</code> shows:</p>
<pre><code>Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 4096 x 4096
VGA1 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mmx0mm
1360x768 59.8
1024x768 60.0*
800x600 60.3 56.2
848x480 60.0
640x480 59.9 59.9
1280x1024 59.9
</code></pre>
<p>so I'm guessing that it's the fact the preferred resolution is 1024x768 (since that has the <code>*</code> next to it) that's causing my reversion to that resolution. Executing:</p>
<pre><code>xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1280x1024
</code></pre>
<p>from a terminal window fixes it but I'd prefer an automatic solution.</p>
<p>How do I set the <em>preferred</em> resolution to be 1280x1024 (if that is indeed my problem)? </p>
<p>Can this be done with another <code>xrandr</code> command and should this be in <code>/etc/gdm/Init/Default</code> or somewhere else?</p>
