I googled and find it is ipv6 releated, so I tried to disable ipv6.</p>
<p>I added the following lines to <code>/etc/sysctl.conf</code> </p>
<pre><code>net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=1
</code></pre>
<p>and <code>blacklist ipv6</code> to <code>/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf</code> </p>
<p>after that, I restarted the network by <code>/etc/init.d/networking restart</code> .</p>
<p>My question is:
The <code>ip addr</code> still shows inet6 address attached to eth0 in forms like
inet6 fe80::212:79ff:fecf:edaf/64 scope link</p>
<p>Does it means my ipv6 <strong>not</strong> disabled?</p>

24603 | 1 | 24606 | 2011-02-03T12:48:42.443 | 1 | 1781 | <p>I was offered a couple of DVDs from abroad that cannot be played on my player due to region filtering.</p>
<p>So I tried <code>k9copy</code> to copy the DVD (it removes the region automatically).<br/>
But for some reasons the copy does not work well (followed the instructions <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K9Copy" rel="nofollow">from here</a> but the generated ISO file does not work / not even in media player - additionally there are many bugs in k9copy 2.3.5 (latest from Ubuntu) showing that it is not a reliable software, at least not on Gnome...).</p>
<p>My question is simple: how to copy a DVD on Ubuntu, the copy/ISO being as close to the original, but without the region code.</p>

24626 | 1 | 24645 | 2011-02-03T16:32:36.430 | 1 | 1468 | <p>What is the code to make a script run on startup that binds the home folders with other folders depending on if a drive is present?</p>
<p>Because most of my files are kept in separate drives and places than /home/John/Folder, I use Terminal code to bind the Home folders for different places. For example, I bind the /Documents folder with /Dropbox/Documents so it's constantly backed up. I've found out how to do this through the terminal, and read somewhere that you can put code in the /etc/rc.local script and that that script (rc.local) runs on start up. I've put the code into that script, but I'm not sure how to get that to run on startup. Right now I have to wait till the computer has started up, then run the code in the terminal. The full code in that script I've set is below.</p>
<pre><code>sudo mount -o bind /media/Storage/Music ~/Music && sudo mount -o bind /media/storage/downloads ~/Downloads && sudo mount -o bind /media/2TB/Videos ~/Videos && sudo mount -o bind /home/john/dropbox/documents ~/Documents && sudo mount -o bind /home/john/dropbox/Photos ~/Pictures && exit 0
</code></pre>
<p>The <em>exit 0</em> is needed for the script to run, according to a comment in the script.</p>
<p>Since this on a laptop and I keep my video files on an external drive, is there anyway to add a simple "If is present, also bind ~/Videos to /media//Videos," and if it's not, skip over it? Or put that code at the end so it doesn't affect the above execution?</p>

one logical partition on the
extended partition, just as the
partitions for Ubuntu will be? Will this be bad sometime? If yes,
other better solutions?</li>

<p>It does the same in several different media players VLC, Totem, Bansheee. The BBC Iplayer and Youtube work fine.</p>
<p>How do I troubleshoot this?</p>

24685 | 1 | 24703 | 2011-02-03T22:00:03.500 | 0 | 1221 | <p>I have two executable files I downloaded and am trying to add to the path. They are located in</p>
<pre><code>/home/user/folder
</code></pre>
<p>and the specific files are</p>
<pre><code>/home/user/folder/app1
/home/user/folder/app2
</code></pre>
<p>Both app1 and app2 have the executable flag set to all (user, group, other).</p>
<p>I can execute the files if I am in /home/user/folder and I execute these commands</p>
<pre><code>./app1
./app2
</code></pre>
<p>However I can't run them from elsewhere. I added this line to my .profile</p>
<pre><code>PATH="$PATH:/home/user/folder"
</code></pre>
<p>and then sourced the path with</p>
<pre><code>. /home/user/.profile
</code></pre>
<p>and I can see app1 and app2 when I use command completion (pressing tab). However here is what happens when I try to run app1 or app2 with the following commands (the following only shows 'app1' but the same is true of 'app2')</p>
<pre><code>user@comp:~$ app1
-bash: app1: command not found
user@comp:~$ /home/user/folder/app1
-bash: app1: command not found
user@comp:~/folder$ ./app1
(program runs)

<p>I'm stumped :), I must have missed something simple. Thanks for your help!!</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p>
<p>Ok, I found some errors in the path which I think I fixed, but now it's not running in any case - which for some reason I think is a step forward. Thanks for suggesting the following steps, here is their output:</p>

I ran the Ubuntu update last night, and today when I tried to boot into Windows 7, it goes straight to the windows recovery on my Acer 5517 laptop. I've spent the entire day trying to resolve this with no success. I used my Windows 7 Recovery Disk to reset the mbr, but that didn't help. The system was working perfectly prior to the update. It appears that now Grub is pointing to the recovery partition rather than the primary partition. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I don't relish the idea of reformatting and starting from scratch.</p>

Thing is, another CD was given to me about 2 days before the CD from Canonical got to me, so I installed Ubuntu 10.10 but there was a problem with the login screen (When the Ubuntu logo should be displayed, it wasn't, instead it would just say "Ubuntu 10.10") so I decided to reinstall Ubuntu 10.10 with the CD that arrived a few days later. </p>
<p>Whenever it's finishing the installation, the installer (ubiquity) crashes, or sometimes it gets to the part where the boot loader should be installed and for some reason it is unable to install the boot loader (if I choose not to install it, I don't get how to start Ubuntu, since you have to reboot my laptop after the installation is over). </p>
<p>I'm currently running Ubuntu 10.10 from the CD I ordered, since I have no other OS on this laptop.</p>

<p>But then once I start screen up the colors go away. Everything else is fine, and my screen can support colors (notice that the <code>.</code> and <code>..</code> in this <code>ls -al</code> are blue) but the prompt isn't. In theory everything should be exactly the same. $PS1 inside screen:</p>

<p>GNU/Linux Ubuntu 10.10</p>
<p>Since it is a test server and we like to see our application to work in both, 64-bit and 32-bit Java, I like to have OpenJDK (32-bit and 64-bit) and Java SE (32-bit and 64-bit), (total 4 instances) installed on the server.</p>
<p>I could install 64-bit easily and have the following Java versions:</p>
<pre><code>$/app/java64bit/jre1.6.0_23/bin/java -version
java version "1.6.0_23"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_23-b05)

OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.2) (6b20-1.9.2-0ubuntu2)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode)
</code></pre>
<p>But I am unable to install 32-bit Java on this 64-bit machine.
I have correct binaries (cksum and md5sum validated).</p>
<p>On unpacking I get the following error for 32-bit version:</p>
<pre><code>$ ./jre-6u23-linux-i586.bin

<p>Is there a way to install 32-bit Java on a 64-bit server?

24732 | 1 | null | 2011-02-04T08:49:31.103 | 1 | 462 | <p>yesterday I performed an automatic security update suggested by the update manager on my virtualized (with VirtualBox on a Windows 7 host) Ubuntu 10.10 installation.</p>
<p>The update somehow failed and left me with an unbootable system. When I try to boot, I am told that various folders, files, and what not are missing. Then the system drops into a busybox and leaves me with an (initramfs) prompt.</p>
<p>This happens with all kernels I get offered by GRUB, although the error messages are quite different from kernel to kernel.</p>
<p>Well, the short of it is this: I don't have the slightest idea on how to get back to a working system and this site is the final straw I'm willing to grab.</p>
<p>A complete disaster like this following an update initiated and executed by the system is unheard of in Windows-land; at least I haven't heard of it, yet, and therefore I am going to abandon Ubuntu and Linux altogeteher, if there is no remedy.</p>

<p>What I wanted to do was move both of these to the bottom , with the window list and the absolute bottom of the screen and the other panel just above it.</p>
<p>So I set the alignment of both panels to 'bottom' but this made the window list panel the highest up panel.</p>
<p>I fixed this by manually moving everything between the panels and swapping it over which was fine , until I restarted my computer which resulted in them being swapped back over , so the window list is now above the other panel.</p>
<p>Is there a way to permanently set the window list to be the bottom?</p>

<p>I have Ubuntu 10.10. I needed the Sun Java so I added <s>Sun</s> Oracle as supplier of packages and installed java-6. However, I haven't been able to persuade Firefox to use this Java for the browser. </p>
<p>In fact I managed to turn off the original Java plugin (I can't remember exactly how) and I can't see any way to re-enable it. Ie. it doesn't appear in the "plugins" page of the Add-ons option. (I'm in Firefox 3.6.13)</p>
<p>Any suggestions for how to re-enable Java in FF 3.6, and make sure it's using the Sun version?</p>

<p>It would be ideal if there was an ability to send and store passwords encrypted (if not on my own server). Whatever the method, I need the ability to have import from existing sources. (It doesn't have to be pretty, just repeatable.)</p>
<p>It's possible that some things I've ruled out are now workable (e.g., xmarks broke for me at one point because I hit their bookmark limit for the server/account, and bindwood, firefox sync were firefox only).</p>

</blockquote>
<p>I'm looking for ways to blacklist packages from being suggested for update by the update manager.</p>
<p>Reason: gdesklets for instance works for me with v0.36.1-3, but the update manager keeps suggesting 0.36.1-4. When I use update manager, I generally just scan the list of updates and click Ok. Hoever when some packages which I want to keep at a certain version are in the middle I tend to miss them. Hence looking for a way to blacklist them for the purposes of the update manager.</p>
<p>I have found such a blacklist to disable packages from the auto-update, but it only seems to work with auto-update (fully unattended) - the update manager still lists the package for update and ticks it by default, like all packages.</p>
<p>Any hints as to where I could find this feature - if it exists?</p>

I recently find out (using hdparm) the the hardisk seems to have much better perfomance on the first 2/3 (~ 60MB/s) than on the last 1/3 (~ 40MB/s).
I am thinking to delete the second partition and create new partitions for "swap" and <code>/</code> directly after Windows.
Does this effort make sense? </p>

Both should be available in Ubuntu without extra installing them.</p>\n<ol>\n<li><p>Start terminal window and run <code>xev</code>. Now it's active and waits for you to press a key. Then press the key whose behaviour you want to change. i.e. <kbd>PgUp</kbd>.</p>\n</li>\n<li><p><code>xev</code> will output some information about the pressed key. The third line is important. It should look similar to:</p>\n<pre><code> state 0x10, keycode 110 (keysym 0xff55, Prior), same_screen YES,\n</code></pre>\n<p>in this example <code>Prior</code> is the name of the behaviour the key is assigned to at the moment, the number keycode is the internal id to recognize the key.\nNow do this with another key i.e. <kbd>PgDown</kbd> give this output</p>\n<pre><code> state 0x10, keycode 115 (keysym 0xff56, Next), same_screen YES,\n</code></pre>\n<p>Here again the interesting part for us is <code>keycode 115</code> and <code>Next</code> - the name of the behaviour.</p>\n</li>\n<li><p>now when you want to swap the two keys use <code>xmodmap</code>.</p>\n<pre><code> xmodmap -e "keycode 110 = Next"\n</code></pre>\n<p>This changes the key with keycode 110 on your keyboard to the action <code>Next</code>. It's pretty simple.</p>\n<p>Note that if the key you are mapping should have a different meaning when used with the <kbd>Shift</kbd> key (for example for British keyboard layouts, <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>2</kbd> gives quotation marks) then you can simply list the secondary command after the first. For example if you want the key with code 53 to map to backslash normally, but to the bar symbol when used with shift, you might do:</p>\n<pre><code> xmodmap -e "keycode 53 = backslash bar"\n</code></pre>\n</li>\n</ol>\n<p><strong>Additional information:</strong> The sequence of these mappings depends on the keyboard layout. It usually is <kbd>Key</kbd>, <kbd>Shift+Key</kbd>, <kbd>mode_switch+Key</kbd>, <kbd>mode_switch+Shift+Key</kbd>, <kbd>AltGr+Key</kbd>, <kbd>AltGr+Shift+Key</kbd>, but can be very different for more special layouts, like in case of the German <em>Neo 2</em> one. To skip a column use <code>NoSymbol</code>. Here is a <a href=\"http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/List_of_keysyms\" rel=\"noreferrer\">comprehensive list of all keysyms</a>.<br />\nYou can see the concrete sequence for your layout by finding it in one of the files in <code>/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/</code>.</p>\n<p><strong>Note: These change are for the active X session only and will be lost after reboot.\nWhen you want to save the changes permanently you have to run the following commands after the ones above:</strong></p>\n<pre><code>xmodmap -pke >~/.Xmodmap\n</code></pre>\n<p>(it creates a file named <code>.Xmodmap</code> in your home directory (<code>~</code>))</p>\n<p>Then you have to create a file named <strong><code>.xinitrc</code></strong> in your home directory where you put command <code>xmodmap .Xmodmap</code> in.</p>\n<p>You can now modify <code>.Xmodmap</code> and run <code>xmodmap .Xmodmap</code> from console to see the changes immediately. The changes in <code>.Xmodmap</code> will persist.</p>\n<p>source: <a href=\"http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7675138&postcount=2\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Ubuntu Foruns</a></p>\n<h2>Bonus stuff:</h2>\n<p>If the key you are remapping has different behavior depending on a state (\nlike how the keys in the numeric keyboard depend on NumLock) you simply have to do <strong><code>xmodmap -pm</code></strong> to get a list of modifiers and then do:</p>\n<p><code>xmodmap -e "KEYCODE MODIFIER = behaviour behaviour_with_modifier"</code></p>\n<p>Suppose, for example, that you want to get a period instead of a comma on the numeric keyboard (useful for most programmers), but you want to keep the "delete" behavior when NumLock is off.</p>\n<pre><code>xmodmap -e "keycode 91 mod2 = KP_Delete period"\n</code></pre>\n<p><code>mod2</code>, because <code>xmodmap -pm</code> tells us that <code>mod2</code> is <code>Num_Lock</code>, the other names are obtained by pressing the keys in <code>xev</code>.</p>\n",

<p>When you get to the place where you normally would choose to install as a dual boot or overwrite the existing information on the hard drive, that block is just blank. Nothing. No choices even to do a manual partition setup. If you try to go on you get the message "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu." but there is nothing in the partitioning menu. </p>
<p>I tried a good 10.04 disc also. Same thing happens with it. I ran a gparted live cd, and it shows the hard drive as sda with 3 partitions on the original. sda1 is a small partition called PQService. sda2 is another small partition called System Reserved, and GParted says it is the boot partition. sda3 is the main partation with the operating system (Windows 7) and all of the empty space. There is a little unallocated space at the very beginning and very end of the hard drive. </p>
<p>If I go to places in the Live CD, it shows a 640 gb hard disk called Acer, but it also shows a 640 gb hard disk called system reserved. They are the same disk. There is just one hard drive. If you click properties in the System Reserved 640 gb, it shows all information as unknown. I had to change the boot order in the bios in order to run the live cd. The hard drive instead of being listed as such is listed as Raid:Raid Ready. Something the way this computer is set up is preventing Ubuntu from being able to identify the hard drive partitions at all to do an install, even if you were not doing a dual boot and just wanted to overwrite Windows. </p>
<p>Is this a bug that needs reported? This is a major problem for me and my brother, but also for Ubuntu if new users want to Ubuntu and find they cannot install it. </p>

<p><strong>Edit:</strong></p>
<p>Lol, finally solved the bug (after some investigating). In short it appears it's caused by Deluge using twisted.internet.run() instead of gtk.main() for it's main loop, and then twisted.internet.run() <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481569" rel="nofollow">calling gobject.threads_init()</a> internally, which sets a SIGCHLD handler, and ultimately it boils down to a <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pygtk/+bug/708847" rel="nofollow">bug in PyGtk</a> that is resoved by <a href="http://git.gnome.org/browse/pygtk/commit/?id=4cbd3c031289775f365c247f949d91facac4ba82" rel="nofollow">this patch</a>:</p>

<ul>
<li><a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/6147/how-to-delete-gnome-panel">How to delete Gnome Panel?</a></li>
</ul>
<p>However it always comes back at log in. I have tried changing the required components > panel to avant-whatever as well as to empty. I have tried setting them both as default (right click set as default).</p>
<p>Right now I just have the last panel set to transparent and auto hide, but it still tends to be annoying.</p>
<p>What do I need to do to get rid of this damn thing?</p>
<p><strong>Clarification:</strong></p>
<p>Using gconf-editor, gconftool2, and/or Ubuntu tweak to set <code>/desktop/gnome/session/required_component/panel</code> to <code>avant-window-navigator</code> is <strong>not working</strong>. The setting stays when I reboot, but the empty gnome panel sticks around.</p>
