23987 | 1 | 23995 | 2011-01-30T10:34:52.293 | 4 | 11847 | <p>A recent update to Xorg broke my desktop, which now looks like this: </p>
<p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/VY9Mg.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/VY9Mg.jpg" alt="https://i.stack.imgur.com/PbBxh.jpg"></a></p>
<p>In short, the desktop background is not updating on the secondary display. (And if there is no secondary display, the primary display background stops updating.)</p>
<p>Looking into the history, I found that this happened right after upgrading two packages:</p>
<ul>
<li>xserver-xorg-core</li>
<li>xserver-common</li>
</ul>
<p>These were upgraded to 1.9.0-0ubuntu7.3.</p>
<p>I'd like to downgrade these packages. How do I do that?</p>
<p>I've checked that both have another version in the maverick repo:</p>
<pre><code>xserver-xorg-core:
Installed: 2:1.9.0-0ubuntu7.3
Candidate: 2:1.9.0-0ubuntu7.3
Version table:
*** 2:1.9.0-0ubuntu7.3 0
500 http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
2:1.9.0-0ubuntu7 0
500 http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main amd64 Packages
</code></pre>
<p>However, apt won't let me downgrade them:</p>
<pre><code>ville@fluxx ~ % sudo apt-get install xserver-common=2:1.9.0-0ubuntu7 xserver-xorg-core=2:1.9.0-0ubuntu7
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xserver-xorg-core : Depends: xserver-xorg but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
</code></pre>
<p>And this is the reason:</p>
<pre><code>ville@fluxx ~ % sudo apt-get install xserver-common=2:1.9.0-0ubuntu7 xserver-xorg-core=2:1.9.0-0ubuntu7 xserver-xorg-core
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xserver-xorg-core : Depends: xserver-common (>= 2:1.9.0-0ubuntu7.3) but 2:1.9.0-0ubuntu7 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
</code></pre>
<p>Am I out of options here?</p>

23990 | 1 | null | 2011-01-30T10:59:50.297 | 4 | 137 | <p><em>Let me add some context:</em> I am currently using Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit (Desktop) on a relatively powerful stationary PC (Intel Core i7 920, 12GB ram). My purpose is highspeed imaging with a pointgrey Grashopper machine-vision camera (for research, PhD project). This camera is capable of 200 fps at full VGA (640x480) resolution. The camera is connected using Firewire (1394b) and the drivers and software from Pointgrey works great. I have developed a console C++ application that can grap a certain number of frames to preallocated memory and after this also save the grapped frames to harddrive. Currently it works fine but sometimes I am observing a few framedrops (1-3). When this happens I reset the experiment and repeat the recording and usually i am lucky the second time with no framedrops (the camera-driver has a internal framecounter that I am using).</p>
<p><em>Question:</em> I usually go to tty1 and use "sudo service gdm stop" to disable the graphical frontend. It seems to release some memory though that is not my main concern. My concern is CPU resources. Are there other system hungry modules that can be disabled temporarily such that the CPU gets less busy on Ubuntu 9.10?</p>
<p>At some point in the future I will update to 10.10. Should I perhaps option for the server edition instead?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

To accomplish this I have defined the settings for mp3 in <code>gnome-audio-profiles-properties</code> (from <a href="https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/gnome-media-profiles" rel="nofollow noreferrer">gnome-media-profiles <img src="https://hostmar.co/software-small" alt="Install gnome-media-profiles"></a>) as follows:</p>
<pre><code>audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr-quality=0 ! id3v2mux
</code></pre>
<p>where <code>vbr-quality=0</code> should give me a variable bitrate averaging 245 kbit/s. The resulting files however always say they are in 128 kbit/s. </p>
<p>When I change <code>vbr-quality</code> from 6 to 0 all resulting files differ in exactly 1 Byte only when comparing them with <code>cmp file1.mp3 file2.mp3</code>. This means vbr-quality settings have <strong>no effect</strong> here.</p>

<li>The username 'Bob' lists up in /etc/passwd file and I can 'su' into the user 'Bob'. So far so good.</li>
<li>When I log out of schroot, and re-enter schroot, the user 'Bob' has vanished!! There is no mention of Bob in /etc/passwd either. </li>

<ol>
<li>Set the correct start/stop of each individual subtitle</li>
<li>Create rudimentary text subtitles (using some sort of speech-to-text)</li>
</ol>
<p>I know about <a href="http://www.gnomesubtitles.org/" rel="noreferrer">gnome-subtitles</a>. However, it requires extensive effort to create those subtitles manually. You need to select yourself the start and stop for each sentence.</p>
<p>YouTube has the above features (creates rudimentary text subtitles at the correct timings, using speech-to-text). However, I would rather not upload the videos to YouTube just to get my subtitles. Is it possible to do the subtitles efficiently on Ubuntu?</p>
<p><strong>Update</strong>: I plan to use the .srt subtitles only, and do not need to hard code them on the videos. My biggest requirement is to have the program automatically find the start/stop for each sentence, so that I write the text in it.</p>
<p><strong>Update #2</strong>: There is Speech-to-Text software for Linux, with the CMU Sphinx package. It is possible to use CMU Sphinx with a subtitle program according to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20121005000848/http://sourceforge.net/p/cmusphinx/discussion/5471/thread/cbc20c24" rel="noreferrer">this post</a>. In addition, one subtitle tool is aware of <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/universal-subtitles-testing/browse_thread/thread/613361ffb921b43b" rel="noreferrer">this CMU Sphinx feature</a> (web based tool), however there is no reference in the latest source code that they added CMU Sphinx. The quest continues to find a program that uses CMU Sphinx for rudimentary speech to text (which would set the correct timings as well), as YouTube already does.</p>

<p>Recently, I moved a large amount of contents (a few GBs) within the Ubuntu One folder (through cut-and-paste). Then I discovered how Ubuntu One does this is to remove them on the server side and upload all the files again in the new location. Obviously, this is undesirable because of the hefty uploading involved. Worse, since I have two computers synced to the same account, it is double the amount of traffic. Each computer took about one day to finish synchronising.</p>
<p>Firstly, can anyone confirm that this is actually what's happening when we move folders? I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, by the way. Secondly, is there a way to cut-and-paste stuff within the Ubuntu One folder without uploading again?</p>

24081 | 1 | 24113 | 2011-01-31T07:00:46.033 | 1 | 3114 | <p>I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop (an Asus G73j), dual-booting Windows 7 if that matters. After using the computer for couple of hours or so, I get a popup complaining that a file was unmounted, then my GNOME desktop panels disappear. I can't save any unsaved work (the file browser shows "Filesystem" as totally empty), and other programs break in odd ways (like Chrome can't browse to any new pages, but keeps current ones going... at least I still have Pandora to listen to when this happens!).</p>
<p>I've tried looking in the system logs to no avail; I'm assuming that it can't write any errors to the logs because, of course, the logs are on the primary hard drives.</p>
<p>This started happening maybe a few days ago. Yesterday I upgraded from 10.4, but I believe it was happening before then. Any advice for figuring this out?</p>
<hr>
<p>EDIT: It just happened again, and I heard a small little clicky sound from the hard drive about five seconds before things went south. I'm thinking I should start backing up ASAP.</p>
<hr>
<p>In response to a comment, here's the dmesg output: <a href="http://askubuntu.pastebin.com/uYGshBay" rel="nofollow">http://askubuntu.pastebin.com/uYGshBay</a></p>
<p>Also, the SMART status says the disk has a few bad sectors, and the detailed data says there are 14. It says it passed the self-assessment though.</p>
<p>Lastly, this doesn't seem to be happening when I'm on Windows. I recently re-enabled ureadahead (which I disabled ages ago because it was causing Ubuntu to hang at the startup logo), could that be the source of the problem? I've disabled it again to see.</p>

24096 | 1 | 24115 | 2011-01-31T09:16:06.313 | 3 | 9213 | <p>On a production web server I have to produce letters based on a template I got in MS-Word binary format. I use PHP and for the search and replace task I found PHPWord, which can handle Docx files, so I converted the template to OpenXML on my local workstation. Unfortunately the output also is Docx.</p>
<p>The goal is to produce a single PDF for the user to download so she can print out a bunch of letters at once very easily. </p>
<p>Now I need to find a way to either:</p>
<ul>
<li>Search and replace text in a PDF file</li>
<li>Convert Docx to PDF without loss of formatting</li>
<li>Edit the original Doc template without loss of formatting and without using COM</li>
<li>Convert Docx to Doc without loss of formatting (which seems nearly impossible for the template looks good in word but technically how the formatting is done is a big pile of...) so I could convert it using wvPDF</li>
</ul>
<p>What I don't want to use besides OpenOffice.org are web services. I'm aware of PHPLiveDocx but I don't want to depend on an external service for performance, availability, security reasons. Also buying a piece of software isn't an option in this case (can't influence that).</p>
<p>Running on a public facing web server I don't want to pull OpenOffice.org - not even headless, as it will pull around 160MB of compressed(!) binaries and best practice is not no load binaries you don't <em>really</em> need on a public facing server. Though it's a last resort to use oo.o I want to make sure I have ruled out any other options there may have been.</p>
<p>The host OS is CentOS 5.5.</p>
<p>Where can I go from here?</p>
<p>Regards,
luxifer</p>

<p>I hope you guys can make more of that than i can :)</p>
<p>One remark: i extended the <code>home</code> logical volume yesterday, and added 10GB. It seemed the most likely candidate. SO i guess that will show itself.</p>

<p>To the people already using such a setup: does this induce a practical, noticeable enhancement in performance?
I think that access times, rather than transfer rates, are the more useful feature of SSD's. I would like to know if they have a noticeable effect on a desktop installation of Ubuntu.
Thanks in advance!</p>

Yes, the random-access time on my current and past SSDs have both been around 0.2ms. I upgraded from a <em>fast</em> mechanical disk (WD Raptor) and the boot-up on the SSD just blew me away. It does so much, so fast.</p>\n\n<p>Of course <code>ureadahead</code> and other tools aim to make the boot-up as linear as possible (they essentially write a whole load of files that are needed at boot into one sequential block) but that's where the SSD's second benefit comes in: huge maximum-throughput speeds.</p>\n\n<p>The sustainable transfer speed of my first SSD (OCZ Agility) was around 200MB/s. My new SSD (OCZ Revodrive - a PCI-E card) tops out at around 540MB/s. The Revodrive X2 reaches somewhere around 750MB/s. There are solutions that scrape 2GB/s but they're prohibitively expensive for most people.</p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<p>Like your plans, I started with my entire home being bind-mounted onto a RAID array on mechanical disks. This was good and is technically much more secure but it does limit the ability for the computer to really fly.</p>\n\n<p>Browsers and other database heavy applications (feed readers, email apps, etc) need fast access to the disk to work well. You might want to weigh up how valuable your data really is, and if some of it can perhaps stay on the SSD and survive with the occasional backup.</p>\n\n<p>Keeping various often-accessed files (like the Firefox database or gnome settings) on multiple mechanical disks is also pretty noisy. I have quiet, fairly slow disks and even I find it annoying when loading something causes 4 disks to start clunking away (I have 4-way RAID5). Perhaps this is something that you learn to appreciate after living with a silent SSD for a while.</p>\n\n<p>These days the only things that are on the RAID are users' documents. That is <code>~/Documents</code>, <code>~/Music</code>, <code>~/Photos</code>, <code>~/Vidoes</code> and (for disk space reasons more than anything) <code>~/.wine</code>. Everything else either gets an occasional backup (Firefox/F-Spot/etc SQLite3 databases once a day). I try to run a monthly proper <code>~/</code> backup (excluding the stuff that is on RAID) once a month, but I'm yet to <code>cron</code> it.</p>\n\n<p>This is a good compromise for me. I get a lightning fast computer and all my really important data is quite safe and all my semi-important data gets backed up regularly.</p>\n",

<p>I decided to host a machine called <code>a.alpha</code> and a another called <code>b.alpha</code>.
In a near future I will also use some machine called <code>a.beta</code> and <code>b.beta</code>.
My problem is that from <code>a.alpha</code> I can resolve <code>a.alpha.local</code> hostname, but currently I can't resolve <code>a.alpha.local</code> from <code>b.alpha</code>.</p>
<p>So when I will decide to use the <code>.beta</code> extension I will have some issues.</p>
<p>Is it normal that the machine "a.alpha" doesn't expos the entire hostname to mdns ?</p>
<p>I know i can change the naming method (saying use a-alpha instead of <code>a.alpha</code>). But I like it this way.</p>
<p>So the question is:
Is it possible to use dotted name in the <code>/etc/hostname</code> and to resolve it using avahi?</p>

"body": "<p>There are at least two Upstart jobs that affect the default wireless state:</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><code>/etc/init/rfkill-restore.conf</code> restores the soft block state for all radios to what they were at last shutdown, as recorded in <code>/var/lib/rfkill/saved-state</code>.</li>\n<li><code>/etc/init/network-manager.conf</code> starts Network Manager which in turn restores its idea of wireless state from <code>/var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state</code>.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>If you look at those two job configurations you will find that they have <em>no temporal relationship</em>, which seems like a design flaw to me. I'm guessing this race condition is rarely a problem because <code>/etc/init/rfkill-restore.conf</code> is much simpler and has fewer start conditions.</p>\n\n<p>All the solutions to enforcing a wireless-off default that I've seen try to use <code>/etc/rc.local</code>, including the <a href=\"https://askubuntu.com/a/24189/333722\">\"modern\" solution</a> that @Lekensteyn and @rubo77 came up with. Unfortunately, that solution does not work for me on either of two laptops I have tried. This is not particularly surprising because <code>/etc/rc.local</code> <em>also</em> has <em>no temporal relationship</em> that I can find to either of <code>/etc/init/rfkill-restore.conf</code> and <code>/etc/init/network-manager.conf</code>. Throwing in a lengthy sleep in <code>/etc/rc.local</code> prior to issuing an <code>rfkill block wifi</code> is an ugly workaround for this race condition mess, but it works if the delay is long enough.</p>\n\n<p>A better solution would be for us to impose our desired states in <code>/var/lib/rfkill/saved-state</code> and <code>/var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state</code> <em>before</em> those two Upstart jobs are even permitted to run. We can achieve this by creating our own Upstart job. In actual fact, we'll need two job configuration files to achieve the timing we need.</p>\n\n<p>Our first job configuration does the actual file modifications we need. It will run as early as possible and will only run once. Create <code>/etc/init/radio-silence.conf</code> with this content:</p>\n\n<pre><code># radio-silence - Ensure radio silence on startup\n#\n# Override default startup behaviour of radios to ensure they are all\n# disabled until the user deliberately enables them. This job requires\n# radio-silence-wait to delay start of any services that may depend on\n# resources manipulated by this job.\n\ndescription \"Disable all radios by default\"\n\nstart on local-filesystems\n\npre-start script\n sed -i -re \"s/^(.+[[:space:]]+)[01][[:space:]]*\\$/\\11/\" /var/lib/rfkill/saved-state\n sed -i -re \"s/^(WirelessEnabled=).*\\$/\\1false/\" /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state\nend script\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>As I prefer total radio silence when my laptop starts, I soft block <em>all</em> radios, not just wireless, but you can modify the first <code>sed</code> in the above to limit this job's impact to whichever wireless devices you wish to soft block.</p>\n\n<p>Our second job configuration is responsible for ensuring that neither of the <code>rfkill-restore</code> and <code>network-manager</code> jobs will start before <code>radio-silence</code> has completed the file modifications. Create <code>/etc/init/radio-silence-wait.conf</code> as follows:</p>\n\n<pre><code># radio-silence-wait - Helper task for radio-silence\n#\n# Delays the start of all jobs that may depend on resources manipulated\n# by radio-silence job. Avoids the need to modify job configuration of\n# those other jobs.\n\ndescription \"Assist radio-silence by delaying jobs it affects\"\n\nstart on (starting rfkill-restore or starting network-manager)\nstop on (started radio-silence or stopped radio-silence)\n\ninstance $JOB\nnormal exit 0 2\ntask\n\nscript\n status radio-silence | grep -q \"start/running\" && exit 0\n start radio-silence || true\n sleep infinity\nend script\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>With this solution I am no longer seeing race condition problems, although I have not addressed the theoretical race between <code>rfkill-restore</code> and <code>network-manager</code>.</p>\n\n<p>For more detail on how these jobs work together to achieve our temporal goal, refer to my question and answer, <a href=\"https://askubuntu.com/questions/533143/how-do-i-create-a-single-execution-upstart-job-guaranteed-to-complete-before-two/\">\"How do I create a single-execution Upstart job guaranteed to complete before two other jobs begin?\"</a></p>\n",

This has cause problems with Wine, as in order for an application to verify that an application's CD is present, Wine uses a symlinks to point to a mounted CD's folder. In this case, that folder must be /media/XYZ, but when using a different application, the folder would be different. I would like to know if there is a way to create a symlink that will always point to the mounted folder from a given /dev/cdrom* device, or how to force the system to always mount CDs to the same address (i.e. /media/cdrom). </p>

I didn't want to try the other options for it suggested that everything on my drive would be erased (but I might be wrong)</p>
<p>I have an old(ish) laptop with a 60GB hard-drive. Theres a Windows 7 partition of 30GB, followed by 20GB of unallocated space, then HP's Windows recovery partition of under 10GB.</p>
<p>Do I need to format the empty space in windows first? What's the recommended method in this case?</p>

24218 | 1 | 35420 | 2011-02-01T00:33:21.827 | 3 | 357 | <p>I used to have a monitor (Acer 20", AL2017) connected to the external video port of my laptop. Everything was great and I could get a rather high resolution available when setting it under Ubuntu (all versions). But since I connected it to a KVM, the monitor is no more recognized, and I cannot go beyond 1024x768.</p>
<p>My video adapter is an Intel chipset 9xx from an older Pentium Core 2 Duo laptop. The same monitor, using another video chipset (Intel 82G33/G31 rev 02) is properly detected through the switch box. </p>
<p>Looks to me like the video chipset is not the best, and I can live with this. I see that I have no xorg.conf, and I understand that I would need to generate one so I can then use it to force the available modes on the X system.</p>
<p>How can I generate the xorg.conf file for my Intel video chip, so I can use it then ? </p>
<p>Merci :-)</p>

<p>The problem with doing this through a random search engine for Ubuntu is that you usually get too many torrents as it picks up different custom versions, and other software with the name in the title/description.

24236 | 1 | 76852 | 2011-02-01T05:17:33.930 | 1 | 5333 | <p>I have a fairly specific issue that I'm hoping someone else out in the community has had to tackle with success.</p>
<p>My company uses CheckPoint VPN clients on Windows XP machines with RSA SecurID software to generate the tokens. The beauty is that once you generate a token code on the software, you can enter it into any machine trying to connect via VPN and with your username get connected.</p>
<p>So, I've got Ubuntu 10.10 32bit on a tower and formerly on a laptop. Through several posts around the web, I was able to get SNX installed on the laptop, plug in my server connection information and be asked for a password only to have the connection fail.</p>
<p>I used to debug mode and was able to see that the application was trying to and failing at writing a registry value, but I believe that to be a symptom of a different issue, even though I tried to find a way to remedy that.</p>
<p>I'm wondering if anyone out there is on a similar configuration and was able to connect with SNX using an RSA token? If so, what steps did you take to setup and what problems/solutions did you encounter?</p>

<p>I know it's as simple as adding a note in gedit but I want it automated, phproject has a timer application where, as you start a task you push start and as you finish calculate time spent on it, and I'm searching for a similar small timer.</p>
