When I plugged it into my Ubuntu machine I didn't see the flash disk appear, but when I plugged it into Windows I can see the drive but can't open the drive.

23657 | 1 | null | 2011-01-28T09:00:17.227 | 8 | 1830 | <p>I am part of a small team that develop an intranet web app. We want to a method of easy installation, so we were thinking about how <code>apt-get</code> works, especially with installing dependencies.</p>
<p>Our app has many dependencies (PHP5, PostgreSQL, FOP etc) but we need control over who has access to the installation. With this in mind we started looking at building our own .deb file. It looks like I can define the dependencies in my control file but when we try to install the .deb file using <code>dpkg</code>, the dependencies are checked, fail and the installation stops.</p>
<p>What I did then was to run a <code>apt-get -f install</code> command to run the installation again with dependencies, but I don't want to do this.</p>
<p>So here's the question, is there a way that a .deb file can install the dependencies automatically, just like and <code>apt-get install abc</code> would?</p>
<p>Basically we want to make the installation as simple as possible, therefore we don't want the end user to be running any command that isn't absolutely necessary.</p>

<p>I am running Ubuntu 10.10 installed on Windows XP using VirtualBox. For Internet connections I am using proxy server with an authentication. I tried to use <code>gnome-network-proxy</code> tool to set proxy settings system-wide. </p>
<p>After that <code>/etc/environment</code> has been updated by <code>http_proxy</code> variable with the format <code>http://my_proxy:port/</code>, there were no authentication data.</p>

<p>This is what I want to get. The screenshot above shows (semitransparent) Conky, but the transparency is provided by adding an opacity filter for Conky in <em>ccsm</em>. Needless to say, that only works when the window is controlled by the <em>WM</em>, ie. when Conky is in <strong>normal</strong> mode (and not <strong>desktop</strong> or <strong>override</strong>). This is kinda okay, but if you click the "Show/Hide All Windows" button, Conky gets hidden as well (which ideally, should not happen.</p>

Any way to fix?</p>

While I can't tell why this is happening, I can offer a workaround. Here's how:</p>\n\n<p>In a terminal, type</p>\n\n<p><code>echo \"deadline\" | sudo tee /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler</code></p>\n\n<p>Try moving or copying larger ammounts of files again. You should notice a huge difference. If so, make the change permanent by typing in a terminal:</p>\n\n<pre><code>gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>In the line beginning with <code>GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=\"\"</code>, add the following string in between the <code>\"\"</code>s:</p>\n\n<pre><code>elevator=deadline\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Save and exit. After that, type in a terminal</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo update-grub\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Reboot.</p>\n\n<p>FYI: This changes the so-called scheduler to 'deadline'.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Source</strong>: <a href=\"http://techtitbits.com/2010/04/get-rid-of-freeze-ups-during-disk-io-activity-in-ubuntu/\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">http://techtitbits.com/2010/04/get-rid-of-freeze-ups-during-disk-io-activity-in-ubuntu/</a></p>\n\n<p>================================================================================</p>\n\n<p><strong>Another Possibility</strong> would be to lower dirty_ratio settings.\nTo test it, type in a terminal:</p>\n\n<p><code>sudo bash -c \"echo 10 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio\"</code></p>\n\n<p><code>sudo bash -c \"echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_ratio\"</code></p>\n\n<p>If this helps, make it permanent by editing your sysctl.conf:</p>\n\n<p><code>gksudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf</code></p>\n\n<p>At the end of the file, add the following lines:</p>\n\n<p><code>vm.dirty_ratio=10</code></p>\n\n<p><code>vm.dirty_background_ratio=5</code></p>\n\n<p>Save, close and reboot.

<p>Ubuntu kernel panics on boot with the error:</p>
<pre><code>init: hash.c:296: Assertion failed in nih_hash_search: hash != NULL
</code></pre>
<p>I can boot into a LiveUSB environment, and from there can access all my files on my 3 partitions (1 ext4, 2 NTFS). I have also ran fsck on the ext4 partition and ntfsfix on the 2 NTFS partitions, both not finding any errors at all. And Grub is intact and have also tried a reinstall of it.</p>
<p>So at the moment I'm currently stuck using a LiveUSB, and would like to see if there are any other options other than reinstalling.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p><strong>Update</strong></p>
<p>I've now ran chkdsk using my Windows recovery disk, and it found errors and fixed them, but I am still unable to boot into either Windows or Ubuntu</p>
<p><strong>Update #2</strong></p>
<p>I've decided to just re-install Ubuntu and start again as I didn't really want to spend any more time looking around whilst I need this computer for work. Thanks for all your help though.</p>

<p>It's actually a lot more complicated than that. There are all sorts of extra symlinks that I need to untangle in the long run but for now I just need a nice way of taking a path and finding out where it physically lives.</p>

Still I discovered <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/321566">this one</a> and it looks manageable and like a cool feature to me. </p>

<p>In this <a href="http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/4432/calendarm.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">screenshot</a>, there is this small orange square on the calendar which I presume is supposed to mark the present day of month.</p>

<p>Still, it seems to highlight a random date, which can be set by any user.</p>
<p>It is worse: even if I set it to the current day of month, it doesn't get updated when the clock hits 12AM.</p>
<p>So, I would like it to highlight the current day, update itself automatically, and keep normal users from changing it.</p>
<p>Is it possible ?</p>

23734 | 1 | 23736 | 2011-01-28T16:40:19.160 | 7 | 5539 | <p>So I swapped my shiny SATA SSD for an even shinier PCI-E SSD. I run my core OS on the SSD because it's silly-fast. I did this on my old SSD so I created a new EXT4 partition and then just <code>dd</code>ed the data across (sorry I don't know the exact command I ran anymore) and after reinstalling grub, I booted onto the PCI-E SSD. At first glance everything had worked perfectly and things were running faster than ever.</p>
<p>But then I noticed the free disk space on the new, larger drive: it was almost exactly the same as it was on the other disk... A disk that was half its size.</p>
<p>So it looks as if I've copied the files across incorrectly and it's copied some of the filesystem metadata along with it.</p>
<p>Tools like <code>du</code> and Disk Usage Analyzer come back with the correct figures. Things that look at the partition (and not the files) seem to think the drive is 120GB</p>
<p>I've been using this drive for a week now so it's way out of sync with the old SSD so dumping the data and starting again isn't a job that fills me with joy but two questions:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Is there a way to fix my filesystem so it knows what it's really on about? <code>fsck</code> <code>e2fsck</code> and <code>badblocks</code> all seem to be able to scan it without finding a problem with it.</p></li>
<li><p>If I do plug my old SSD back in, copy the data off my PCI-E on to it and then copy it back onto a fresh filesystem (eg juggle the data around), what's the best way of doing that? I obviously want to keep all the permissions and softlinks where they are.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>I have an nvidia geforce 295 GTX, and it works great in Windows.</p>
<p>However, when booting into Ubuntu I had intermittent problems for a while where the system theme went haywire, it looked like "windows classic" with gray windows et cetera. Then they stopped being intermittent, and I always had these boring gray windows. I tried finding a workaround uninstalling the nvidia drivers and downloading newer ones from Nvidias site.</p>
<p>I uninstalled them but couldn't shut down the xserver to command line. If I did <code>/etc/init.d/gdm stop</code> the system just hanged. I tried booting into recovery mode, but after a whole bunch of startup output my screen goes to sleep (eg no output).</p>

23767 | 1 | 23965 | 2011-01-28T20:10:01.283 | 6 | 5054 | <p>I'm PXE-booting a Ubuntu 10.10 system, where I specify the kernel parameters as follows:</p>
<pre><code>append root=/dev/nfs initrd=ubuntu-boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-24-generic
nfsroot=11.22.33.44:/data/nfsroot,fsc ip=dhcp rw
</code></pre>
<p>I need to use the mount option 'fsc' in order to use FS-cache functionality (the cachefilesd package.) However, when I try this I get the following error upon boot:</p>
<pre><code>nfsmount: bad option 'fsc'
</code></pre>
<p>Why doesn't nfsmount permit this option? (It works fine when you mount manually with <code>mount -o fsc</code> after booting up.)</p>
<p>I changed nfsmount to <code>mount -t nfs</code> in the file <code>/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/nfs</code> and then I ran <code>update-initramfs -u</code> to update the initramfs image, but it seems this still gives an error: </p>
<pre><code>mount: unknown nfs mount option 'fsc'
</code></pre>
<p>My guess would be that this is a limitation of the mount functionality in <strong>klibc</strong>. What would be the best way to address this? Does the nfsmount program need to be patched?</p>
<p>Since this seems to be a limitation of the nfsmount tool in klibc, I was thinking that I could add <code>/sbin/mount.nfs</code> to the initramfs image and mount the nfsroot with this tool instead. I copied it into the folder <code>/usr/lib/klibc/bin</code> and I updated the script <code>/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/nfs</code> as follows:</p>
<pre><code>mount.nfs ${NFSROOT} ${rootmnt} -o nolock ${roflag} ${NFSOPTS}
</code></pre>
<p>After booting the updated initramfs image, there is a long delay when mount.nfs is executed and then the following message is displayed:</p>
<pre><code>mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified

<p>When I run upgrades.sh as root, the script runs fine. When cron runs it, <code>apt-get -y update</code> runs no problem, but <code>aptitude -y safe-upgrade</code> fails. I'm guessing this error: <code>debconf: (This frontend requires a controlling tty.)</code> is because there is a kernel update which in turn updates grub, which requires my explicitly saying it's okay to overwrite <code>/boot/grub/menu.lst</code>. But I don't understand the path errors. And I'd like the updates that don't require my supervision to go through.</p>
<p>I have read through <a href="https://askubuntu.com/q/23126/8515">this question and it's as yet unaccepted solution of <code>unattended-upgrades</code></a>, and I may end up using it, but why can't I use cron? Seems like it should be really simple, and more linuxy.</p>

<p>Assume I want to copy a file from <code>/home/foo/bar/baz</code> to <code>/opt/quuz/dir1/option3</code>. When I try it with Nautilus, first I have to open the correct directory, copy the file, go to the other directory and paste it there. I was thinking of a better way and old KDE3 versions of Konqueror came to mind. It was possible to right-click on a file. The context menu had an option for copying, moving the file to some default directories. Furthermore you could select any directory under <code>/</code>. So for the above action one would right click on a file, select <code>/opt</code> first, a list of subdirectories will open, select <code>/opt/quuz</code> and so on.</p>
<p>Using GNOME there are only two possible values (home and desktop). Is there any way to insert more directories to this context menu in GNOME? Can I copy somehow the behaviour of Konqueror?</p>

"body": "<p>I think the source of the confusion is how Grub works. Grub typically attaches itself to the MBR of your hard disk, and it is the hard disk that you have setup in the BIOS to boot first. In addition, you can select that hard disk with F12 as you already have done.</p>\n\n<p>In the MBR there is the starting point for Grub, which then points to a Linux partition that contains the rest of the Grub code. The Grub code resides in the <code>/boot</code> directory.</p>\n\n<p>So what I can guess is that you installed Grub on the MBR second (160GB) hard disk, therefore Grub can only activate when you select to boot from the second hard disk in the BIOS. This might be fine for Ubuntu, but probably messes up with the Windows booting because of drive number changes.</p>\n\n<p>What I recommend is to put Grub/MBR on the first hard disk so that Grub takes over the booting of your computer. Then, you need to make sure that <code>/boot</code> is always accessible. Either the second hard disk is always there, or you can be a pro and create a separate <code>/boot</code> partition (about 500MB) and place it on the first/primary hard disk. </p>\n\n<p>If you do not want to let Grub take over the computer, you can keep the Windows boot manager in charge (but you lose fancy boot options).

By default, you have gnome, and that's\ngreat and all. If you're looking to go more keyboard friendly though, check out\nalternative window managers. I'm a big fan of tiling window managers like\nAwesomeWM and Xmonad. These allow you to move, resize, and jump around much\nmore keyboard friendly.</p>\n\n<p>Next up, you have your terminal you use. Bash is the default there, and you can\nset it to enable vim movements/commands while you're working in the terminal. I\nfind ZSH (alternative to bash) has much better Vim mode support, so I use it on\na daily basis.</p>\n\n<p>Next up you get to other tools. As Jorge mentions, there are plugins for\nFirefox and Chrome that will enable some keyboard friendly, vim-like\nfunctionality.</p>\n\n<p>We also have other programs that are more vim-like. For instance, mutt is a\ncommand line email program that has vim-like commands. You use j/k to move\nthrough messages, can set vim as your email composition tool, and get to tweak\nthe setup.</p>\n\n<p>Finally, you can look to do more things in vim itself. Rather than use gwibber,\nyou can install the twitvim plugin and use that for doing your social media\nstuff.</p>\n\n<p>I don't go into too many details because you just ask if it's possible. The\nanswer is, definitely! It's not just a flip of the switch though, and it can\ntake quite some time to learn and get used to all of the tools out there that\nhelp with the keyboard-friendly OS mission.</p>\n",

OK, I have monitored the HDD temperature, for a couple of days, when running in Ubuntu and Windows 7. I have both OS installed on the same laptop, and I'm using <code>Speedfan</code> to monitor the hdd temp in Windows 7, and <code>hddtemp</code> to monitor on Ubuntu.</p>
<p>When running on Windows 7 the HDD usually stay around 37-39. This is on the load of when just web browsing, watch movies, and programming. And when I do the same thing on Ubuntu the HDD will go to 40-42. Most of the time however it stay 41-42 degree. Btw, even when just idling in Ubuntu the HDD will go over 40 degrees.</p>
<p>This isn't a really big issue maybe since I read that HDD can handle temperature to at least 60 degree. However since the HDD is located just where I put my right palm, so it is quite disturbing at some times.</p>
<p>Is this temperature the same for you guys which are running Ubuntu 10.10 on a laptop?</p>

<p>The problem is when I am root the file permissions are not set right for the Samba and symfony systems. All things I do/create in the terminal (CLI) of Ubuntu create file permissions for the user root. Off course I know how to change them afterwards but that takes up time I could spend programming.</p>

<p><strong>Edit:</strong> In a forum thread I read that someone had problems with this chipset and kernel <= 2.6.36, so I'll try out Natty and report back.</p>
<p><strong>Edit2:</strong> The card is still not recognized with Natty (2.6.38).</p>
<p><strong>Current state:</strong></p>
<p>The current state is that it did not work all the way up into the 3.x kernels. Quite some time ago I switched to a new nVidia card (GT640) which works flawlessly. As I don't intend to install the old card again, I've closed this question as not reproducible anymore. If you have this problem, too, feel free to open a new question with your technical details.</p>

23891 | 1 | null | 2011-01-29T16:07:25.650 | 5 | 1402 | <p>This question may apply more roundly to all bluetooth mice but in my case I am dealing with an Apple Magic Mouse. I have followed the set up instructions here; <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/AppleMagicMouse" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/AppleMagicMouse</a>
closely. I have even removed the mouse and started from scratch more than once repeating each step described carefully.</p>
<p>Every time the computer is started it does not see the Magic Mouse by default. I need to keep a wired mouse connected to the computer at all times which I use to log in with then connect the Magic Mouse, in a somewhat counter-intuitive exercise! Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>The following is an edit made to include responses to points made by others in response to my original question;</p>
<p>I believe I do use GDM as my understanding is it is default in Ubuntu 10.10. The only edit to the boot process I have made is this; <a href="http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/12/new-smooth-intelligent-plymouth-boot-screen-for-ubuntu/" rel="nofollow">http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/12/new-smooth-intelligent-plymouth-boot-screen-for-ubuntu/</a> I'm no expert, I think perhaps plymouth loads after gnome display manager? This plymouth theme is the only edit I've made to the boot process so although I'm not 100 percent certain as to what gnome display manager is, my login process is default apart from that. Would gdm affect this issue, eg, should I ensure I do use it or replace it with something else?</p>
<p>My Magic Mouse is second hand, so I have no way of knowing if it is paired to another computer. It quite possibly is but would be either impossible or at least very difficult for me to track down that computer. Does the magic mouse have its own memory and can this affect its ability to connect to my computer?</p>
<p>Thank you again. </p>

<ol>
<li>The ability to re-size them (someone may like smaller or bigger icons than the default ones)<br/></li>
<li>The ability to change their position (bottom, left, right)<br/></li>
</ol>
<p>In Unity (which let's face it, is a dock) I heard that it will not be possible even in the long run to have these features implemented. <br/></p>
<p>In my opinion Ubuntu is reinventing the wheel here, because so far Unity doesn't offer a thing more than, for example docky (they are offering even less) and they are doing it the wrong way by not including some simple and very necessary options that I think everybody wants, that's why they are present in the other docks.<br/></p>
<p>In Mac OS X, the Apple logo is in the left, the min, max, close buttons are on the left, but still you can resize and position your dock wherever you want. <br/></p>
<p>So again, my question is: <br/>
Is there any really plausible explanation why unity will not include these simple features? <br/></p>

<p>If I install openbox, I get the additional choices at the GDM login window of a 'GNOME/Openbox' and an 'openbox session'. If I log in with the 'openbox session', it starts openbox successfully. However, if I log in using the 'GNOME/Openbox' session so that I can run GNOME but just replace metacity with openbox, I find that openbox does not start, and that metacity is managing my application windows.</p>
<p>It looks something is not working in the GNOME/Openbox session in 10.04 (and possibly other versions of Ubuntu).</p>
<p>I know that I can manually replace metacity with openbox by typing 'openbox --replace', but I want to know the correct way of starting openbox in a GNOME environment automatically at logon.</p>

We will define this session by creating a custom.desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions/ with a content similar to this:</p>\n\n<pre><code>[Desktop Entry]\nName=Custom\nComment=Custom Session to run ~./.xsession\nExec=/home/<username>/.xsession\nX-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=<gnome-session-3.0>\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>This will tell GDM to run the script <code>.xsession</code> located in the HOME of the user <code><username></code>.</p>\n\n<p>Optional <code>X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain</code> is needed for a correct language translation in case we load Unity/GNOME desktop later (replace with <code>gdm</code> in 10.04).</p>\n\n<h3>Make A Script To Start</h3>\n\n<p>This script ~/.xsession could look as simple as that:</p>\n\n<pre><code>#! /bin/bash\n\nxterm\nlogout\n</code></pre>\n\n<h3>Load Custom Session On Login</h3>\n\n<p>If we now define to load our session \"Custom\" during the given user's login at the gdm screen only the X-Terminal will be started and we will be back at gdm on exit. Next time we login as the user this setting will be remembered as default.</p>\n\n<h3>Run Application That Need Windows-Managing</h3>\n\n<p>Of course we are not yet able to run an application that needs a windows manager such as GNOME. To do this replace the .xsession script by something like:</p>\n\n<pre><code>#! /bin/bash\n\ngnome-wm &\nfirefox\nlogout\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>We can see that the GNOME windows manager is now loaded but no desktop elements are present. This enables an application (e.g. firefox here) to start. </p>\n\n<p><strong>But take care what you do:</strong> If we minimize the application to the non-existent tray we will end up with a nice wallpaper to look at. Because of this it is very important to include <code>logout</code> at the end of the script to logout the session after the application terminated. There really is no other programm running to do this for you until you add one to your script. You deliberately replaced your desktop by firefox only (a bad idea).</p>\n\n<p>Of course we would also be able to start <code>gnome-desktop</code> or <code>gnome-session</code> (resp. options) from the script but this is what we already do by default.</p>\n",

Grub2 was developed with new technology in mind, so it performs the same function slightly faster and more efficient and will likely work better with newer machines, but you're not as risk if Grub is working for you as is. If you're doing a fresh installation, it's kind of a no brainer to go with what is provided.</p>\n\n<p>On ext3 v ext4\n<a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4</a></p>\n\n<p>ext4 gives you the capability to use high capacity storage devices and better performance based on how it organizes data, so if you're using application with lots of read/writes like a website that performs a search or some other transaction, you may have some benefits there. But, if you have less than a terabyte of storage and you're just you on the desktop in normal usage patterns, I would say there isn't a huge need for you to upgrade and risk losing anything (data or hardware).</p>\n\n<p>On the kernel (http://www.h-online.com/open/features/What-s-new-in-Linux-2-6-36-1103009.html), I know there are some software packages that are slow to upgrade and aren't getting along with the latest version. You are getting additional support for hardware that was not available previously, so if you've got nVidia it'll likely improve what you're seeing.</p>\n\n<p>So, if you're system is running sufficient for what you're using it for, then go for it. The performance increase you would see by upgrading I believe would be minimal, at least for the hassle of upgrading and troubleshooting. BUT if you go with a fresh installation, it would be a hard sell to me to do anything other than the latest offerings.</p>\n",

</blockquote>
<p>The situation before this all happened is pretty standard. I have a HP Pavillion dv5 laptop with an ATI Mobility Radeon 4200 series. It always worked fine with Ubuntu for as long as I can remember. However, at one point, something happened and truly made a majestic mess of things. It might've been extra repos I enabled with Ubuntu Tweak - I do not know. But something made it so that my system would not boot any longer.</p>
<p>And when I say "won't boot", this is what I mean:
- Durning a normal bootup, any entries (except Windows) selected with GRUB (or BURG, not even sure which one I'm using anymore) will spawn the Ubuntu loading screen - then try to start X (or GDM) 5 times. The screen goes to dark, black and back to the Ubuntu loading screen. Then it just stays there until I spawn another TTY.</p>
<p>I have no idea what is happening or why. There are no errors in my logs, and I'm truly at a loss here.</p>
<p>I've linked three files: Xorg.0.log, the output of dmesg and the GDM log:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Xorg.0.log: <a href="http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/tpVKc2tc" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/tpVKc2tc</a></p></li>
<li><p>dmesg: <a href="http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Nd5aYj45" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Nd5aYj45</a></p></li>
<li><p>gdm's :0.log: <em>couldn't post due to lack of points :(</em></p></li>
</ul>
<p>Let me know if any of you more knowledgeable folks can restore some sanity in my life. Any help is greatly apreciated.</p>
