<pre><code>error while loading shared libraries: ./libvtkWidgets.so.5.4: file too short
</code></pre>
<p>In my project structure I see following:</p>
<pre><code>-rwxrwxrwx 1 tomasz tomasz 20 2011-02-01 10:44 libvtkWidgets.so
-rwxrwxrwx 1 tomasz tomasz 22 2011-02-01 10:44 libvtkWidgets.so.5.4
-rwxrwxrwx 1 tomasz tomasz 2147103 2011-02-01 10:44 libvtkWidgets.so.5.4.2
</code></pre>
<p>Is my shared library libvtkWidgets corrupted ? How to solve that error ?</p>

Later I figured out there were more options that needed to be set. I extracted the .exe file contents, and found a .cms file with some options that looked relevant, but I didn't know how to set them under Ubuntu. </p>

</code></pre>
<p>I think the exception is caused by <code>smartd</code> when a drive does not wake up quickly enough. </p>
<p>There are no issues (that I can tell) in accessing the drives normally through the file system - it takes a few seconds longer than normal when they are asleep, but there are no exceptions.</p>
<p>Is this something I should worry about, as a potential symptom on something that could corrupt a drive over time? </p>
<p>Or can I safely ignore it as part of normal operation?</p>
<p><em>Edit:</em></p>
<p>By request: <a href="http://paste.ubuntu.com/561078/" rel="nofollow"><code>smartctl -a</code></a> for <code>sda</code>and <code>sde</code>, both disks are members of the array. </p>
<p>If <code>ata4</code>is the same as <code>scsi-4</code> then <code>sde</code> is the one that gave the error above, according to <code>/dev/disk/by-path</code>.</p>

24334 | 1 | 24365 | 2011-02-01T17:31:27.877 | 13 | 41908 | <p>I have a Compaq Presario CQ-61 320SQ, I am using Ubuntu 10.04 because after update to 10.10 my mouse and touchpad won't work, network won't work, sound won't work ... (I managed to fix most of them after almost a month of googling, but not all, my 2 Desktops have no problem with 10.10) so I decided to switch back to 10.04, where I have a problem:</p>
<p>My broadband speed is very low beacause of the kernel module <code>r8169</code>, I downloaded the good module <code>r8101</code> and every time the computer boots have a <code>rc.local</code> entry to fix this. </p>
<p>Question:<br>
<em>Can I load the modul permanently from a specific location. I heard about <code>/etc/modules</code> but there I need the module name, but I have to load it from a specific path (where is the default path for that) ?</em></p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>So I studied the script:</p>
<p>It creates the file <code>r8101.ko</code> in <code>/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net</code> so I think as long as nobody will delete that file, and I don't update the kernel, maybe adding <code>r8108</code> to <code>/etc/modules</code> will work, and add <code>r8169</code> to blacklist ... I will give it a try.</p>
<p><strong>EDIT2:</strong><br>
So I added <code>r8101</code> to <code>/etc/modules</code> and <code>blacklist r8169</code> to <code>/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf</code>.
It still uses the old module.:</p>
<pre><code>radu@adu:~$ lsmod | grep r8
r8101 67626 0
r8169 34108 0
mii 4381 1 r8169

<p>EDIT: The module is loaded using this script that came with it.:</p>

# and use a pathname, as insmod doesn't look in . by default

<p>Then I tried Minecraft. It crashes when rendering the levels, and Googling the error message shows it to be a common issue with (well, bug in) the proprietary ATI drivers. So, I tried disabling them -- and my entire desktop started flickering, Compiz exploded, and basically it was just Not Good.</p>
<p>I spent about $100 on this graphics card (last year), so I'd prefer to not pay for a new one if possible. On IRC, I've been told that "ATI sucks with Linux, your fault for buying a shitty card" and similar. I was hoping that Linux (especially Ubuntu) had gotten over the driver-hell as it had for the rest of my system -- is there a working, open-source ATI driver being developed?</p>

<p>When I hang up, Skype disappears from Volume Control. It reappears again with the next call only this time the default sound-card is selected again.

24358 | 1 | 24422 | 2011-02-01T20:17:52.923 | 130 | 175882 | <p>Something I have noticed in Ubuntu for a long time that has been frustrating to me is when I am typing a command at the command line that gets longer (wider) than the terminal width, instead of wrapping to a new line, it goes back to column 1 on the same line and starts over-writing the beginning of my command line. (It doesn't actually overwrite the actual command, but visually, it is overwriting the text that was displayed).</p>
<p>It's hard to explain without seeing it, but let's say my terminal was 20 characters wide (Mine is more like 120 characters - but for the sake of an example), and I want to echo the English alphabet. What I type is this:</p>
<pre><code>echo abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
</code></pre>
<p>But what my terminal looks like before I hit the key is:</p>
<pre><code>pqrstuvwxyzghijklmno
</code></pre>
<p>When I hit enter, it echos</p>
<pre><code>abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
</code></pre>
<p>so I know the command was received properly. It just wrapped my typing after the "o" and started over on the same line. </p>
<p>What I would expect to happen, if I typed this command in on a terminal that was only 20 characters wide would be this:</p>
<pre><code>echo abcdefghijklmno
pqrstuvwxyz
</code></pre>
<p>Background: I am using bash as my shell, and I have this line in my ~/.bashrc:</p>
<pre><code>set -o vi
</code></pre>
<p>to be able to navigate the command line with VI commands. I am currently using Ubuntu 10.10 server, and connecting to the server with Putty.</p>
<p>In any other environment I have worked in, if I type a long command line, it will add a new line underneath the line I am working on when my command gets longer than the terminal width and when I keep typing I can see my command on 2 different lines. But for as long as I can remember using Ubuntu, my long commands only occupy 1 line.</p>
<p>This also happens when I am going back to previous commands in the history (I hit Esc, then 'K' to go back to previous commands) - when I get to a previous command that was longer than the terminal width, the command line gets mangled and I cannot tell where I am at in the command.</p>
<p>The only work-around I have found to see the entire long command is to hit "Esc-V", which opens up the current command in a VI editor.</p>
<p>I don't think I have anything odd in my .bashrc file. I commented out the "set -o vi" line, and I still had the problem.</p>
<p>I downloaded a fresh copy of Putty and didn't make any changes to the configuration - I just typed in my host name to connect, and I still have the problem, so I don't think it's anything with Putty (unless I need to make some config changes)</p>
<p>Has anyone else had this problem, and can anyone think of how to fix it?</p>
<p><strong>Edit</strong></p>
<p>It was my .bashrc file. I've copied the same profile from machine to machine, and I used special characters in my $PS1 that are somehow throwing it off. I'm now sticking with the standard bash variables for my $PS1.</p>
<p>Thanks to @ændrük for the tip on the .bashrc!</p>
<p><strong>...End Edit...</strong></p>

Before you reboot after the install, mount the installation disk and run the opposite commands (eg: <code>sudo rsync -ax /media/external-disk/homebackup/ /media/3423423-234234-234/home/username</code>). </p>\n\n<p>All you have to do then is reboot into real Ubuntu and get all your old applications installed (your old config for each should be safe).</p>\n\n<p>Failing the presence of an external disk, you can do the move incrementally:</p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Get a real LiveCD or LiveUSB going and boot into it.</li>\n<li>In <code>gparted</code>: Resize the Windows partition right down (so there's at least 8GB+your WUBI disk's size of free space). You should probably move the Windows partition to the far right of the disk so the free space is now at the beginning.</li>\n<li>Run the installer and tell it to install to use the free space. Do <em>not</em> reboot once finished.</li>\n<li>Mount the NTFS drive and look in <code>ubuntu/disks/</code> for <code>.disk</code> files. Mount those and copy over your home (per my previous instructions).</li>\n<li>You can then delete the NTFS drive (assuming you don't need anything from Windows) and resize the Ubuntu partitions in <code>gparted</code>.</li>\n</ol>\n",

to share with a Mac and Windows systems, for example at the office.
Now it is NTFS but back in the day the NTFS support was not stable under Linux and I think it is not supported on a Mac.</p>
<p>I would just use FAT32, but it has 4GB file size limitation, do I overlooked any other option?</p>
<p>I looked here: <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/19796/filesystem-types-for-partitions">filesystem types for partitions</a> but a Mac is not mentioned.</p>
<p><em>edit</em> Windows is the least important, I am not sure if I need Windows support at all.
So what would I use just for Linux and Mac?</p>
<p><em>edit</em> I am not so happy with the performance, I don't know if the problem lie in NTFS USB or whatever, but the process mount.ntfs has a high CPU usage while copying. I just get <10MByte/s writing</p>

<p>This is especially visible when opening a menu, for example the "File" menu in Firefox. As you know this one is black, and it looks terrible on my screen. It is not just black, but the colors look really graded and far from a smooth gradient or anything.</p>

<p>The Compiz Version of Unity only uses Expo to show the workspaces, but the windows stays as they are. Is it possible to combine Expo and Scale to get the same effekt like in Unity 10.10? Or will the new Unity become this effect someday?</p>

</blockquote>
<p>On Ubuntu 10.10,
I added a CIFS network share into <code>/etc/fstab</code> using <code>/media/pub</code> as my mount point.
The share becomes visible on the Desktop and under Places (drive icon), which is what I want. But the problem is, Ubuntu 10.10 (unlike 10.04) creates another entry under Places with same name "pub", except this appears to be a mount shortcut rather than another link to the share. When I move my mouse over it says "Mount pub" and if I click on it, it will mount the share and again each time (if already mounted) - it does not display contents of share. In either case, an error pops up soon after "Unable to mount pub - Timeout waiting for mount to appear". </p>
<p>The share itself is accessible, but I can't unmount via GUI, system reports its mounted multiple times and I have to unmount via terminal <code>sudo umount -a</code>.<br>
As I'm mounting the share at boot time, I don't need this manual option under Places. Is there an easy way to stop Ubuntu from listing it under Places?</p>
<p>I have tried making the mount point under <code>/mnt</code>, this fixes the problem, except creates another as it removes the drive icon from Desktop and Places. I could create a bookmark, but just wondered if there's an easy fix to this unwanted entry under Places.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I've run into a problem <em>Baldurs Gate,</em> however, which is that I can't change CD.</p>
<p>Obviously, I don't have a CD drive, so I have copied the CD content onto an external hard drive and I'm using a <code>mount</code> command with the loopback option to persuade the game that the CD is present. This allowed installation to work correctly and works fine to run it and to play the content from the first CD. However, when the game asks for CD2, I'm stuck.</p>
<p>If I mount the CD2 ISO to the CD Rom path it doesn't appear to respond, whether or not I have first unmounted CD1. When I ask Wine to show me the CD drive it contains the right data, but it seems as though whatever signal would be interpreted by Windows to mean the CD drive has been closed isn't being sent.</p>
<p>Does anyone know of a way to do this, or am I barking up the wrong tree and there is something else I need to do?</p>

<p>the following is the relevant config in /etc/rsyslog.d/60-mylogger.conf</p>
<blockquote>
<p>$template Paul,"%msg%\n"</p>
<p>$outchannel
log_rotation_paul,/var/log/paul/events.log,2000,/opt/scripts/log_rotation_script.sh</p>

<p>This should rotate every 2000 bytes</p>
<p>My problem is the the channel directive here causes the ownership defined in /etc/rsyslog.conf to be completely ignored and when my log rotate script is called I don't have the root permissions required to move my log file as its the script runs as rsyslog and the file I am moving requires root permissions.</p>

On my previous system (with 10.04 and earlier). when I ejected a disk from the optical drive, the sub-folder in the <code>/media</code> directory was automatically removed. In my new 10.10 system, if I don't eject the disk using the <code>eject</code> command within the system, the disk remains mounted, even after a new disk is installed.</p>
<p>The new drive is a Blue Ray drive, but I haven't noticed any other problems from it.</p>

<p>Conversely, if I run <em>without</em> realtime: <code>/usr/bin/jackd -v -r -ch -Z -t2000 -d alsa -P</code> I get:</p>
<pre><code>ALSA: poll time out, polled for 32032138 usecs
DRIVER NT: could not run driver cycle
</code></pre>
<p>Jack was working just fine before I made these changes; while I don't have an exact copy of my original configuration I recall running the bare minimum of options worked fine. I've seen some <a href="http://blog.yjl.im/2010/05/jackd-watchdog-timeout-killing-jackd.html" rel="nofollow">articles</a> saying the problem is with ALSA capture. In fact, I tried enabling capture in <code>alsamixer</code> once and everything worked! On reboot that success was not repeated and I haven't been able to get jack working since. That shouldn't matter because specifying -P should obviate any capture issues.</p>
<p>Short summary: I can't get <code>jackd</code> to work under any circumstances (unless I specify <code>-d dummy</code>). Sound works with other programs with ALSA, but when I run JACK the daemon opens the card but times out and dies. JACK worked fine before but I can't figure out what changed (or where to even look).</p>
<p>I should mention I <em>am</em> running with CPU speed throttling on, but I'm using HPET to mitigate this (and I've run jack with no issue before). Thanks!</p>
<p>EDIT: It looks like it might have to do with the nvidia modules I've loaded; references <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/267913" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a href="https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=82059" rel="nofollow">here</a> </p>

24543 | 1 | 28229 | 2011-02-02T22:25:52.897 | 7 | 2374 | <p>I am running ubuntu 10.10, and installed Gnome Activity Journal. However it does not show any recently used files. I have attached a screenshot below.</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/dn6n5.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
<p>Please note that gnome activity journal has been installed on the system for quite some time. So it is not that I recently installed and it still has to slowly gather data. Also the zeitgeist-daemon is running in the background. </p>
<p>Would reinstalling zeitgeist help solve this problem? If yes could you please provide a ppa where I can find the latest stable release of zeitgeist.</p>
<p><strong>Update 1</strong>: I tried uninstalling both zeitgeist and gnome activity journal, but still the problem persists. Why is zeitgeist not gathering data?</p>
<p><strong>Update 2</strong>: I checked the spikes in the month of december. But they were nothing. After proceeding to that month, the spike just went back to nothing just like the rest. </p>
<p><strong>Update 3</strong>: I checked the zeitgeist preferences. I have not blacklisted anything. Going to check if deleting the database does anything.</p>
<p><strong>Update 4</strong>: I am glad to know that zeitgeist is collecting data but somehow it is not being shown in gaj. Following one of the solutions below to purge the software and then reinstall it, I am no longer able to open gaj. However I can say that I couldn't purge everything properly. When I tried the command <code>sudo apt-get --purge gnome-acitivity-journal</code> it doesn't work. When I try to open gaj now I get the following message in the terminal.</p>

<p>The thing is I used to get this error before. However I solved it by copying <strong>gnome_activity_journal.py</strong> to <strong>/home/krnekhelesh/.local/share/zeitgeist/Extensions/</strong>.

<p><strong>Update 5</strong>: I no longer get the error posted in update 4. Gnome Activity journal opens but with the same problem as shown in the screenshot. The output of the terminal is </p>

<p><strong>Update 6</strong>: The recent documents is not disabled. I can view it perfectly under the places menu. Also the file activity.sqlite was created again when I deleted it showing that zeitgeist is recording recent activity.</p>
<p><strong>Update 7</strong>: This is the most recent screenshot I've inserted below, where it shows 8 items for one or two days. However when I click on that day, GAJ does not show any recently used files. <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/f6I8b.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
<p><strong>Update 8</strong>: I deleted ~.local/share/zeitgeist folder and then ran the command <code>zeitgeist-datahub</code> in the terminal. The output is as follows, </p>
<pre><code> Traceback (most recent call last):

<p><strong>Update 9</strong>: Version Number of the zeitgeist components are the following,</p>
<p><em>Zeitgeist-Core</em> : <strong>0.7.0</strong></p>
<p><em>Gnome-Activity-Journal</em> : <strong>0.6</strong></p>
<p><em>Zeitgeist-datahub</em> : <strong>0.5.2</strong></p>
<p><strong>Update 10</strong>: I completely removed GAJ and zeitgeist and made sure the folders <strong>/usr/share/zeitgeist</strong> and <strong>/usr/local/share/zeitgeist</strong> were also clear before I reinstalled GAJ again. On running GAJ the windows did not appear. So I did the following.</p>
<p>I typed <code>zeitgeist-daemon --replace</code> and got the following output, </p>

</code></pre>
<p>On checking synaptic manager, the version numbers are the same as stated before in update 9.</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE 10</strong>: IT WORKS!!!!!! Here is what I did, as told by mhr, I uninstalled everything, used <code>locate zeitgeist</code> and removed everything. After which I also forced Version 0.5.1 for zeitgeist-datahub. Restarted and installed everything again. It works..however there is a small catch!</p>
<p>I have to first run the command <code>zeitgeist-daemon --replace</code> and while this is running in the terminal, I can open GAJ. Otherwise it does not appear. </p>
<p>If I dont run <code>zeitgeist-daemon --replace</code> but run GAJ in the terminal I get the following error messeage.</p>

<p>It works fine when I first boot the computer and log in, but then after a few minutes the network suddenly stops working completely. If I try to reconnect it, the network manager claims to have connected, but in actuality it's still down.</p>

In order to use the ATI proprietary driver with this hardware, it is necessary to use an older version of Xorg, which is now only available in versions of Ubuntu older than 8.10. Unfortunately, the open source radeon driver seems to be causing X to lock up intermittently when my mum uses Audacity.</p>
<p>I'm willing to accept that some hardware is not well-supported on Ubuntu, and so, because this is a desktop computer with a couple of free PCI slots, I think a better solution might simply be to plug in a new graphics card that might have better driver support, and to disable the onboard ATI card in the BIOS. The requirements for this card are that it be <b>inexpensive</b> and have <b>robust (preferably open source) driver support</b> in Ubuntu 10.04. Heavy-duty graphics processing power is not a requirement. A second-hand card on Ebay would also be fine. Can anyone make some recommendations?</p>

24556 | 1 | 27684 | 2011-02-03T00:35:36.553 | 16 | 25813 | <p>I recently purchased a PCI Express x1 USB 3.0 controller card (containing the NEC USB 3.0 controller) with the intent of using a USB 3.0 external hard drive with my Linux box. I installed the card in an empty PCIe slot on my motherboard, connected the card to a power cable, strung a USB 3.0 cable between one of the new ports and my external HDD, and connected the HDD to a wall socket for power. Booting the system, the drive works 100% as intended, with the one exception of throughput: rather than using SuperSpeed 4.8 Gbps connectivity, it seems to be falling back to High Speed 480 Mbps USB 2.0-style throughput. Disk Utility shows it as a 480 Mbps device, and running a couple Disk Utility and dd benchmarks confirms that the drive fails to exceed ~40 MB/s (the approximate limit of USB 2.0), despite it being an SSD capable of far more than that.</p>
<p>When I connect my USB 3.0 HDD, <code>dmesg</code> shows this:</p>
<pre><code>[ 3923.280018] usb 3-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6
</code></pre>
<p>where I would expect to find this:</p>
<pre><code>[ 3923.280018] usb 3-2: new SuperSpeed USB device using xhci_hcd and address 6
</code></pre>
<p>My system was running on kernel 2.6.35-25-generic at the time. Then, I stumbled upon <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1642641" rel="nofollow">this forum thread</a> by an individual who found that a bug, which was present in kernels prior to 2.6.37-rc5, could be the culprit for this type of problem. Consequently, I installed the 2.6.37-generic mainline Ubuntu kernel to determine if the problem would go away. It didn't, so I tried 2.6.38-rc3-generic, and even the 2.6.38 nightly from 2010.02.01, to no avail.</p>
<p><strong>In short, I'm trying to determine why, with USB 3.0 support in the kernel, my USB 3.0 drive fails to run at full SuperSpeed throughput.</strong></p>
<p>See the comments under this question for additional details.</p>

<p>One key component I could count on was the Accessibility features. I have recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 and am considering giving it another try, but it appears Ubuntu has taken a leap backwards in that it no longer has a click lock feature for the mouse. </p>
<p>Basically I need the ability to press and hold the left button to trigger a locking of the button so I can move the mouse by way of a trackpoint with my prosthesis. I absolutely require this feature and it is a deal breaker if it won't work. I've tried the Dwell keys but this is a chaotic control at best. I've never been able to manage a drag of any kind.</p>
