</blockquote>
<p>Using Ubuntu 10.10 on a HP Pavilion t3019.es, which has a Realtek ALC880 soundcard. It has 6 rear jack outputs, plus digital audio input and output, plus 3 front jacks (mic, headphones and a blue one which i don't know what's for). </p>
<p>The sound on my computer is very low, and when i raise the volume up to 50%, it starts sounding distorted, crackling. Also, the headphones don't work when i plug them (it just keeps on playing through the speakers). </p>
<p>I tried to comment the "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf" file according to the soundcard and jacks in my computer, but none of the lines added worked (naturally, didn't added them at once). I found out that adding "options snd-hda-intel model=generic" to it made the sound better, but it's not as good as in Windows yet.</p>
<p>I've fulfilled a bug report with the <strong>ubuntu-bug audio</strong> command, and sent it to launchpad. Here it is:
<a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/709799" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/709799</a></p>
<p>Any ideas? Other than setting the PCM value, please, didn't work for me.</p>

<p><strong>In particular:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>the directory where the drive was mounted is empty</li>
<li>the mount is still present in mount(8)</li>
<li>the device-mapper devices are still present</li>
<li>the physical device is still present as <code>/dev/sd*</code></li>
</ul>
<p>In this scenario, without cleaning up the items above, the first three steps need manual cleanup (via umount, dmsetup remove and udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=block). Even then, the disk's sysfs directory is still present in <code>/sys/bus/scsi/drivers/sd</code> and you need to manually echo 1 > delete to make sure the SCSI device is unregistered. Without it, replugging the disk back in does not work.</p>
<p>So my question is - is there a program that can detect when a physical disk that's been device mapped is no longer responding and perform the necessary cleanup?</p>

First time ever today <strong>Firefox Version 3.6.13</strong> freezed for me on <strong>Ubuntu 10.10 64bit</strong>.</p>
<p>I open <strong>Firefox</strong> normally but then nothing respond on the <strong>GUI</strong>.The only thing I can do is close it.<br>
When Closed I try to re-open but the application still runs on the background<br>
So I have to kill it manually along with <strong>Firefox-bin</strong> from the <strong>System monitor</strong> or <strong>kill pid</strong> command ..<br>
I don´t know what caused this..I suspect <strong>Addons</strong> or maybe a proxy setting with polipo.<br>
I also installed <strong>DockbarX</strong> this morning but it seems ok with <strong>Chromium</strong> now.</p>
<p>Same story after rebooting,<br>
So I left it as it is to find a solution from <strong>AskUbuntu</strong><br>
What can I do now? Where do I check the Logs to locate the problem?<br>
How do I get back my working Firefox without Re-installation ?<br>
Any Suggestion is welcome.</p>

If it complains about a specific file not being found a little creative googling (the word provides often helps) should help you locate the -dev package that is required. </p>\n\n<p>Another useful site for this type of thing is ubuntu package search: <a href=\"http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?mode=exactfilename&suite=intrepid&section=all&arch=any&searchon=contents&keywords=sqlite.h\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?mode=exactfilename&suite=intrepid&section=all&arch=any&searchon=contents&keywords=sqlite.h</a> </p>\n\n<p>Another point worth noting is that Ubuntu is siding with Debian on this one and trying to prebuild packages titled ruby-gemname or similar into aptitude to simplify package management and track gem changes. This does break some of the requires in some ruby scripts.

22307 | 1 | 23125 | 2011-01-19T17:49:53.100 | 6 | 10985 | <p>Not sure what's going on here. I've installed <code>clamav</code>, <code>clamav-freshclam</code> and <code>clamav-daemon</code> to run automated scans (using cron) on my machine running <strong>Ubuntu Desktop 10.04 LTS x64</strong>.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, <em>clamdscan refuses to scan anything</em>. This is the output I receive every time I try:</p>

</code></pre>
<p><code>/raid/Share/Public</code> has 777 permissions, and the clamav-daemon user <code>clamav</code> has been added to both the <code>admin</code> and <code>root</code> groups. I get the same error no matter what files or directories I try to scan.</p>
<p>I even ran <code>dpkg-reconfigure clamav-base</code> and made the daemon user <code>root</code> to see if that would help (which it didn't). And I have of course run <code>service clamav-daemon restart</code> in between all of these changes.</p>
<p>I'm aware of the <code>cat file_name | clamdscan -</code> option, <strong>but I need to be able to scan whole directories recursively</strong>, so obviously this won't work.</p>
<p>What am I doing wrong? Can I use clamdscan?</p>

22309 | 1 | 23148 | 2011-01-19T18:08:18.617 | 17 | 6183 | <p>This is a big feature when it comes to putting Ubuntu onto tablets. Currently, Netbook edition works great for that purpose and the pen digitiser is perfect, but the handwriting would be a real dealmaker (especially for my business - we could actually move to Linux) to compete with the Windows one.</p>
<p>CellWriter exists, but that only handles character and keyboard input (but I don't know about multitouch on the keyboard). It also needs to handle print and cursive, because character mode can be slow and uncomfortable (unless you're writing passwords). Lastly, CellWriter needs to have some default letter shapes rather than having to be trained from the start.</p>
<p>There is a software package called MyScript (by Vision Objects) that handles all four modes (keyboard, character, print, cursive) plus calculator and fullscreen, but it's only free as a trial. Still, it would be nice to see it in the For Purchase section and the trial in the free section of the Software Centre.</p>
<p>The only other ones are for Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters.</p>
<p>What would really make a difference for us is the integration of some formal API with the OS that can automatically activate when running on a tablet to pass ink data to whatever recognition system is installed, and have something available (however rudimentary) to use it.</p>

"body": "<h2>Introduction</h2>\n\n<p>As other answers on this site discuss <code>gconf</code> and <code>dconf</code> together, I will just concentrate on discussing command-line tools such as <code>gsettings</code> and the gui <code>dconf-editor</code> that are used to access the <code>dconf</code> database.</p>\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https://live.gnome.org/dconf\" rel=\"noreferrer\">the GNOME official site</a> it is noted that </p>\n\n<blockquote>\n <p>dconf is a low-level configuration system. Its main purpose is to provide a backend to GSettings on platforms that don't already have configuration storage systems.</p>\n \n <p>dconf is a simple key-based configuration system. Keys exist in an unstructured database (but it is intended that keys that logically belong together are grouped together). </p>\n \n <p>Having all of the keys in a single compact binary format also avoids the intense fragmentation problems currently experienced by the tree-of-directories-of-xml-files approach.</p>\n \n <p>dconf is optimised for reads. Typically, reading a key from dconf involves zero system calls and zero context switches.\n Writes are less optimised -- they traverse the bus and are handled by a \"writer\" -- a DBus service -- in the ordinary way. </p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<h2>Using <code>gsettings</code> to view and change settings</h2>\n\n<p>Once one gets to know <code>gsettings</code> it can be as easy as the gui <code>dconf-editor</code>. The options can be listed by entering <code>man gsettings</code> or going to the <a href=\"http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/en/man1/gsettings.1.html\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Ubuntu manpages online</a>.</p>\n\n<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> As everyone's system has different programs installed, you may have to substitute the specific items I choose for different ones when experimenting yourself, as I am using XUbuntu XFce with quite a lot of GNOME programs.</p>\n\n<p>To list all the available schemas, enter</p>\n\n<pre><code>gsettings list-schemas\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>To also include all the keys, enter</p>\n\n<pre><code>gsettings list-recursively\n</code></pre>\n\n<p><strong>However</strong>, it is usually easier to specify what you want with, for examples, </p>\n\n<pre><code>gsettings list-schemas | grep -i shotwell\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>This returns a long list; I have shortened it to:</p>\n\n<pre><code>org.yorba.shotwell\norg.yorba.shotwell.preferences.ui\norg.yorba.shotwell.preferences.slideshow\norg.yorba.shotwell.plugins.enable-state\norg.yorba.shotwell.printing\norg.yorba.shotwell.preferences.editing\norg.yorba.shotwell.preferences.files\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Now when you have found the schema that you are interested in, list the keys with</p>\n\n<pre><code>gsettings list-keys org.yorba.shotwell.preferences.ui\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>This returns a list (again I have shortened it):</p>\n\n<pre><code>background-color\ndisplay-basic-properties\ndisplay-extended-properties\ndisplay-photo-ratings\ndisplay-photo-tags\ndisplay-photo-titles\nevent-photos-sort-ascending\nevent-photos-sort-by\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Pick one and see what the current value is with</p>\n\n<pre><code>gsettings get org.yorba.shotwell.preferences.ui display-photo-tags\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>This returns a value of true, so to reverse it, use</p>\n\n<pre><code>gsettings set org.yorba.shotwell.preferences.ui display-photo-tags false\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>These are <em>trivial</em> examples, but show basically how keys and values are identified and changed with <code>gsettings</code>.</p>\n\n<h2>Using dconf-editor to change settings</h2>\n\n<p>The GUI program, <code>dconf-editor</code> is installed with <a href=\"https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/dconf-tools\" rel=\"noreferrer\">dconf-tools</a> package by clicking <a href=\"http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/dconf-tools\" rel=\"noreferrer\">here</a> or by running</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo apt-get install dconf-tools\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Then run it by entering in the terminal or in the quick launch menu, <code>dconf-editor</code>.</p>\n\n<p>As you can see in the screenshot, all the various schemas can be expanded on the left hand side and the appropriate key selected. It is very straightforward to navigate to the value you want (in this case the <code>gnome-mplayer</code> preferences). You can click the check box to have a value activated or add a numerical value into one of the other boxes. You can also search within dconf editor with <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>F</kbd> keyboard shortcut.</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/yBGwT.png\" alt=\"enter image description here\"></p>\n\n<p>You can also add another log say to <code>log-viewer</code> by adding a path in the form ['/var/log/auth.log', var....'] in the screenshot below. </p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/S01q4.png\" alt=\"enter image description here\"></p>\n\n<h2>Conclusion</h2>\n\n<p>There are many other useful ways that you can tweak settings with both <code>gsettings</code> and <code>dconf-editor</code> and they are straightforward to use. It is worth looking through them to see if there are options there that are not in the programs' preferences, as you may be able to customize your program just the way you want.

I have created and SVG file and placed it in <code>/usr/shared/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/</code> and when I try to select it as the icon for the application launcher, it just goes back to the gnome-panel-launcher.svg default.</p>
<p>If I put the SVG file on my desktop and then select it, all is well. I'm assuming this is some type of permission problem, but I cannot seem to figure it out. I have set the permissions to be identical to the other icons in <code>/usr/shared/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/</code>, but have no luck doing that either.</p>

Using 10.04 I had a mouse cursor (working) with 10.10, not even that. In 10.04 The only way to reboot is to shutdown using the power switch.

In this case we put xvidcap in recording state, run pavucontrol and in the Recording tab we put Analog Stereo Internal Audio (without \"Monitor of\").</p>\n\n<p>If we only want to record sound (without video) we can run from ALT+F2 gnome-sound-recorder. The first time probably it will be configured to record from the microphone. To record the system sound we run with ALT+F2 gnome-volume-control, go to the Hardware tab and in Profile we put Analog Stereo Output (it's also possible to do this running pavucontrol and using the Configuration tab).</p>\n\n<p>But when we finish we have to put again Analog Stereo Duplex in the Profile of Hardware of gnome-volume-control (or of Configuration of pavucontrol), so we can still choose the origin of the sound when recording with xvidcap.</p>\n\n<p>NB: sometimes, to change from Analog Stereo Duplex to Analog Stereo Output it may be necessary to change first to Off, close, open again and then change finally to Analog Stereo Output. The same for the opposite change. If not, the computer may \"not notice\" that we have applied the change.</p>\n\n<p>Taken from <a href=\"http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10607591\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">this post on Ubuntu Forums</a></p>\n",

<p>Are <code>.gnome .gnome2</code> and <code>.gconf</code> therefore legacy configuration directories, or are they supposed to co-exist?<br>
And does the adoption of dconf alter these dot-file application config conventions?</p>
<p>Finally, what is the relation of the gconf-editor data settings to these directories? Do .gnome/.gconf contain the same info that gconf-editor accesses? </p>
<p>Updates:
XDG has been pointed to as the reason for .cache, .local, and .config. </p>
<p>This <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/22313/what-is-dconf-and-what-is-its-function">question on dconf</a> advises that dconf will be the replacement for gconf,
as documented on <a href="http://live.gnome.org/dconf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Gnome.org</a> .
Furthermore, <a href="https://askubuntu.com/users/742/joao-pinto">João</a> says that dconf is the</p>
<blockquote>
<p>GNOME technology used to store
application settings. [...] dconf is
the GNOME3 replacement for gconf which
has not been maintained for some time.
dconf is also expected to bring
performance improvements over gconf
(relevant for applications startup).</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I expect, based on that that there will be a somewhat anarchic migration path from gconf settings to dconf. I would love to hear any additional perspectives.</p>

When he is sharing his whole screen, I only receive it in a window that takes about a fourth part of my screen (about 50% size). Obviously, all text becomes unreadable.</p>
<p>We have the same horizontal resolution, but I have a 4:3 display, and he has a 16:9 display. So it's 1280x1024 against 1280x768, his screen should be able to fit into mine. </p>
<p>What's even stranger is that when I use a laptop I have, the screen is shared with me at 100% size. Both my PC and my laptop use Ubuntu 10.10.</p>
<p>Can something be done about it?</p>
<p>P.S. Maybe it has something to do with <code>compiz</code>?</p>

This is not container specific as this happens with all the formats - ogg, mkv, avi, mp4 etc. I guess this has something to do with ffmpeg. </p>
<p>After searching on Internet, I found that this can be fixed using <strong>itsoffset</strong> switch in ffmpeg. I also tested it and it works. But the question is how do I find exact lag between audio and video streams in seconds:milliseconds?? I tried <strong>ffmpeg -i</strong> but it always shows delay to be zero.</p>

I will be opening a port on my router through which the ubuntu server will listen on. The network will be 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0 The (eth0) ip of ubuntu server will be 192.168.9.10. The LAN gateway and dns server will be 192.168.0.1 (router). I have partially worked on it by <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/openvpn.html#openvpn-configuration" rel="nofollow">using this guide</a>. But the openvpn server fails to start, so something isn't right in my conf file. So what settings should I have in my openvpn conf file?</p>

22429 | 1 | 22491 | 2011-01-20T12:27:48.530 | 2 | 933 | <p>In a few hours I will get my new Thinkpad X201t and the first thing that I will do is install Ubuntu on it.
In the last two months I switched machines quite a lot because I needed to work despite my previous machine which crashed (a Macbook Pro 4,1).
I even did set up a work environment on a cloud-hosted VM to be able to connect to it from everywhere.</p>
<p>Now - trying to remove the manual set up of each box - I am looking for ways to configure a system in a scripted way which allows me to change the configuration and replicate it on another box when I need to. This includes tasks such as installing and configuring packages.</p>
<ul>
<li>I already worked a little bit with chef but it's just too complex for <strong>single</strong> machines.</li>
<li>My dot files already live in a git repository</li>
</ul>
<p>Hope there are some of you who already have a solution :)</p>

22437 | 1 | null | 2011-01-20T15:55:39.227 | 2 | 387 | <p>I am using Xubuntu and I am looking for a way to bind the backspace key with navigating to the parent directory of the current directory.</p>
<p>I read in the <a href="http://thunar.xfce.org/documentation/C/faq.html" rel="nofollow">Thunar documentation FAQ</a> (at the bottom) that Thunar shortcuts are standard GTK+ keyboard shortcuts, meaning that there are two ways of setting a keyboard shortcut for "open parent":</p>
<ol>
<li>Hovering over the open parent menu option with the mouse pointer and pressing the keyboard shortcut (after enabling the Editable menu accelerators option in settings)</li>
<li>Editing $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/Thunar/accels.scm</li>
</ol>
<p>The first method didn't work because pressing backspace removes any keyboard shortcut assigned to the option instead of assigning backspace to the option.</p>
<p>The second also didn't work but I don't know why. Perhaps the backspace key should be written differently. This is how I tried it:</p>
<pre><code>(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/ThunarWindow/open-parent" "<Backspace>")

22439 | 1 | null | 2011-01-20T16:14:20.133 | 2 | 2075 | <p>I am trying to setup an Ubuntu hosting server, currently just for development, and the server has two NICs, each sitting on a different network. eth0 is on 192.168.200.* and eth1 is on 192.168.101.* and each one has a static IP. eth0 is the public facing NIC card and eth1 is strictly for internal access to the server. I initially only setup eth0 and added the eth1 card when I needed it. eth0 was working find until I added eth1, now, can't get any connectivity on eth0 unless I pull eth1 out of the box. The configuration on each system is as follows:</p>
<pre><code>auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.200.94
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.200.0
broadcast 192.168.200.255
gateway 192.168.200.253
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.101.64
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.101.0
broadcast 192.168.101.255
gateway 192.168.101.254
</code></pre>
<p>Again eth0 worked fine until I added eth1. I have seen this happen with Windows servers if you have a Default Gateway setup for both NICs, but I am not sure if this works the same on Ubuntu. My resolv.conf file looks like so:</p>
<pre><code>nameserver 192.168.101.59
nameserver 192.168.101.58
domain domain.local
search domain.local
</code></pre>
<p>Per request here is the Routing table</p>
<pre><code>192.168.101.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
192.168.200.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0

There were plenty of other people on the network - MS, Mac, and Linux boxes - but my laptop would never get an ip address. I can connect to my home network, which is open, and I've never had a problem connecting at the coffee shop, which uses WPA. The Hacker Dojo is running WPA and we checked the password a number of times but got no love. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>I restarted the jvm at each try, but the fonts is not visible from the sun jdk.</p>
<p>All other applications see that font (even eclipse, which is in java but uses the SWT library)</p>
<p>Does anybody know how to make jdk see additional fonts?</p>

<p>I've got a 2TB external HD on which I save valuable data. so far I'm using NTFS as my file system, but I find it quite slow because I've got lots of files there. (700GB of videos, 20GB of music, etc.)</p>

<p>I have no idea where to start with this. I tried checking <code>man pkg-config</code>, but that didn't really help, except I now have a vague understanding of what pkg-config is supposed to do. None of the packages listed as being missing can be found by <code>apt-get</code>. I got <code>cheese</code> (different from <code>cheese-gtk</code> apparently) installed, but that hasn't helped. I would really appreciate some help troubleshooting this.</p>

As soon as I switch to this resolution, when I go to change a wallpaper, the screen turns to colored lines or freezes. All other effects work fine. It is only the changing of wallpaper that causes this. I have read that the ATI Xpress 200 GFX card is no longer supported by Linux, but there must be a way to rectify this one problem.

<p>I know that Ubuntu has come a long way in helping new users to get used to their linux system..and making things as easy as possible. One most important aspect is installing and uninstalling applications in ubuntu. Thanks to Ubuntu Software Center it is a breeze!</p>
<p>However I noticed that when I compiled and installed a game from its source (battleship), it does not appear under the history tab in the Ubuntu Software Center. And also you cannot uninstall it through the software center but have to resort to the command line to do this. I do not mind doing it however I am sure some other users might not be comfortable with this.</p>
<p>Is this a bug? </p>

Even launching a terminal, I have to wait a few seconds before the bash prompt appears. During this start-up period, the top process seems to be dropbox. I'm not sure what it's doing exactly (functionality is still fine as far as I can see), but I do know it really doesn't need to be doing it while I'm waiting for desktop to appear. (This is the standard Ubuntu with Gnome desktop, by the way.)</p>
<p>What I would like to do is to be able to have a static or even dependency-based delay for dropbox to start. It would be nice if it waited for, e.g., 10 minutes, or for my browser tabs to load and a typing pause. Then it could churn away on file status or cache-chewing, and I would be happy. </p>
<p>Is there a way to do this? Thanks!</p>

<p>Yesterday I installed kubuntu-desktop to give it a a try. I liked it, but decided to uninstall it. I followed these instructions: <a href="http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome" rel="nofollow">http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome</a></p>
<p>It all went smoothly until I restarted. Now, after the splash screen (which changed back to the default one instead of the one I had before, which was caused by installing ATI drivers), the screen goes black and nothing happens. I tried a verbose boot but the text output stops at this point. The strange thing is, though, that LiveUSBs do not work either. I tried two, one that just remains on the splash screen and another that gets a black screen after boot. These LiveUSBs do work, I have tried them on different machines and on this computer in the past. Recovery mode works, as does booting my Windows 7 partition.</p>
<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated!</p>

22521 | 1 | 22527 | 2011-01-20T22:55:16.340 | 10 | 1007 | <p>Today Linus Torvalds announced the 2.6.38 RC1 Linux Kernel. I know that maybe this kernel will be ready near the date for Natty release and in that case it's inclusion could affect Ubuntu's stability and performance, but looking at <a href="http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/" rel="nofollow">this repo</a> I found that there is a repo for Natty..</p>
<p>According to the announcement, the improvement for this kernel are really important, in some cases 30% better performance, so my question is if Natty will include this Linux Kernel's version or not? Just I don't know and I wanted to ask.</p>
<p>Regards my friends!</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I recently reinstalled my computer from a freshly downloaded CD. I did not select at any time to get an experimental version or beta. But right after the installation (and updating) <code>System -> About Ubuntu</code> tells me that:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You are using Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal - released in April 2011 and supported until October 2012.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Why is that so?</p>
<p>When I check <code>Software Sources</code> there are no pre-released updated enabled or other channels.</p>
<p>Is this jut a Bug in <code>About Ubuntu</code> or am I really running 10.04.</p>
<p>I got some sound, graphics and application issues, so I'm wondering if this could be the reason.</p>

22545 | 1 | null | 2011-01-21T04:35:01.067 | 3 | 3076 | <p>I have a Reliance broadband + mobile broadband connection. It connects fine, but the only problem is it takes more than 2 -3 mins to get the connection started. If I plug in the USB datacard, the network manager applet dothes not show up the mobile broadband connection immediately. It takes a good 2-3 mins to detect the connection before I can select Reliance connection from the dropdown list.
Is there any way of getting a shortcut of that connection on the desktop or on the panel?</p>
<p>Thanks,
Sayantan</p>

Occasionally, I have a vm running through virtualbox, and I'll have it use a virtual adapter and then I add the adapter to the bridge. I have heard that some switches can copy all the traffic they see to a specific port on the bridge, usually for network monitoring. I would like to be able to run some windows based network tools. I do not want to run Windows on the actual hardware, because it would be lots of work to duplicate my setup in windows, so I was thinking if I can copy all traffic to a port, I can send it to a VM with windows. How can I set this up? I think this might be ebtables area, but I don't know ebtables well enough to know for sure, and it always seems like (from my understanding of ebtables) ebtables does something with the traffic (drop, accept, etc), but never copies it.</p>

22577 | 1 | null | 2011-01-21T10:36:34.090 | 7 | 41116 | <p>I have installed Ubuntu 10 last night and finished all upgrading stuff, in the time when updates are applied I downloaded a torrent file. As soon as download is finished I rebooted my system. As usual at start up it asked my login and I did the same. </p>
<p>After a successful login It should show me the desktop, or show an error message in case anything has gone wrong. But what I had is only a cursor and a blank wall paper.</p>
<p>Can anybody tell me what is the problem and how to resolve this?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
