<p>I'm trying to manually install the Sun JDK package (I have my reasons, don't bother asking why). I've successfully extracted the .bin file into /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_23, but the problem is the PATH variable. </p>
<p>I added this line to the /etc/environment file: <code>JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_23"</code> and added <code>JAVA_HOME/bin</code> to the PATH variable, BUT the OS still doesn't recognise the command <code>java</code>, says it's not installed and offers me gcj and openjdk. </p>
<p>There was another way by using <code>java-package</code> and converting the .bin to .deb installer, but unfortunately that package is not available on/for maverick, so I can't do it that way. </p>
<p>How can I make the PATH variable work and is there anything else required apart from the environment variables to make it all work?<br>
When I try to use the <code>update-java-alternatives -l</code> command, it says the following:<br>
<code>awk: cannot open /usr/lib/jvm/*.jinfo (No such file or directory)<br>
jdk1.6.0_23 /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_23</code><br>
What should be the name of the file and the contents of it?</p>

26011 | 1 | 26325 | 2011-02-12T18:56:59.853 | 6 | 174 | <p>In the last few month and maybe even years, Ubuntu and Canonical often were criticised for developing software and desktop components without talking to other groups in the free software community. I don't want to comment on this topic, but I see problems arising with creating a "proprietary" solution for displaying indicators and progressbars with a launcher like Unity.</p>
<p>In the world of free and open Desktop Environments we often try to standardize parts and libraries or write specifications to increase collaboration between different desktops. We have the instrument of <a href="http://freedesktop.org" rel="nofollow">http://freedesktop.org</a> and a lot of specifications are getting implemented by the major Desktop Environments.</p>
<p>In this context, proposing a standard for those indicators would be a great step towards better interoperability between desktops.</p>
<p>These indicators represent a great feature on the Linux Desktop and I'm sure that other projects like AWN, Docky, etc. would pick them up.</p>
<p>With the great market share of Ubuntu, Canonical is in a position to propose it as a standard and encourage projects to implement it.</p>
<p>Thank you in advance,
Sebastian Billaudelle</p>

26030 | 1 | 43098 | 2011-02-12T21:08:44.680 | 2 | 2101 | <p>I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a computer that was previously running 10.04 (that worked fine).</p>
<p>Now, each time I boot up, it starts up in a command line login prompt. I can login and it stays at the command line (as expected). I can then manually start gdm with sudo start gdm and it works fine. I can also enable compiz (using proprietary nvidia drivers) so I'm reasonably confident that it's not a driver problem (at least not in the sense that the drivers just flat out aren't working).</p>
<p>Interestingly, if I leave it at the command prompt without logging in, after about 5 or 10 minutes, gnome starts up on its own. I'm not sure what is causing this.</p>
<p>This is what dmesg | tail gives me after a manual start of gdm:</p>

26045 | 1 | 26660 | 2011-02-12T22:57:07.407 | 4 | 1622 | <p>I have most of my music in FLAC on my large storage device, and would like to automatically re-encode it in Ogg Vorbis when copying it to my portable audio player (Sansa Fuze v2). I have set my Fuze to MTP mode and told Banshee to encode to Ogg Vorbis with quality 4 in the Device Properties dialog for the Fuze (I would use MSC mode, but don't have an encoding option in the device properties when I do that). However, when I copy music to the device, either by dragging it from the music library or by syncing a playlist, the full FLAC files are copied rather than transcoded and written as Oggs.</p>
<p>How can I get my Banshee setup re-encoding the audio?</p>
<p>If StackExchange supported bonus points, I'd give bonus points for a solution that only re-encoded music that was already losslessly encoded, but I don't think that's possible.</p>

<p>The issue arises because the FTDI interface uses tty to communicate and it conflicts with one of the default ubuntu services.</p>
<p>The default service in question is called brltty (which enables braille accessibility for people with impaired vision). Considering that I don't have any particular use for this service and it's annoying to stop it manually (using 'service brltty stop') after I restart my system...</p>
<p>Where would I configure this (or any) service to prevent it from loading on startup?</p>

"body": "<p>Ubuntu has changed since other answers to this question were written. </p>\n\n<p>Keybindings have moved from gconf to dconf. Gconf stores its data in xml files and was accessed by <code>gconf-editor</code> and <code>gconf-tool2</code>. Dconf stores its data in a binary format and is accessed by <code>dconf-editor</code> and <code>gsettings</code>.</p>\n\n<p>The number of places that keybindings are stored is reduced. There is now a centralized dconf path to store window manager keybindings (<code>org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings</code>). There are mapping files in the directory <code>/usr/share/gnome-control-center/keybindings/</code>that show how these are applied based on the window manager you are actually using (compiz or metacity).</p>\n\n<p>A second set of non-window-manager related key bindings is stored in the dconf path <code>org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys</code></p>\n\n<p>There is a third set of keybindings related to power buttons that is stored in the dconf path <code>org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power</code>. There is currently a bug in the GUI that lets you configure keybindings. It doesn't know about these settings. I have a \"sleep\" button on my keyboard. If I want to reassign it to other functionality, I have to disable the setting in <code>org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power</code> manually. The GUI doesn't do it for me (although it assigns the new functionality just fine).</p>\n\n<p>The other wrinkle is custom key bindings. These are stored in dconf using relocatable schema. Its done this way because there are an arbitrary number of them. A reasonable approach, but it makes listing or modifying them via the command line harder than it should be.</p>\n\n<p>I also found out that the GUI that allows you to assign keybindings is limited in a way that annoys me. The GUI allows exactly ONE keybinding to be assigned to each action. In dconf, you can set an array of bindings for a single action. This is useful to me. For example, I like to have the \"close-window\" action assigned to the traditonal Alt-F4 as well as to an easier to hit single button on my keybord.</p>\n\n<p>I have written a Perl script to dump all the keybindings to a csv file, or restore them from the csv file. For example to dump the keybindings you might use:</p>\n\n<p><code>./keybindings.pl -e /tmp/keys.csv</code></p>\n\n<p>and to restore them you might use:</p>\n\n<p><code>./keybindings.pl -i /tmp/keys.csv</code></p>\n\n<pre class=\"lang-perl prettyprint-override\"><code>#!/usr/bin/perl\n\nuse strict;\n\nmy $action = '';\nmy $filename = '-';\n\nfor my $arg (@ARGV){\n if ($arg eq \"-e\" or $arg eq \"--export\"){\n $action = 'export';\n } elsif ($arg eq \"-i\" or $arg eq \"--import\"){\n $action = 'import';\n } elsif ($arg eq \"-h\" or $arg eq \"--help\"){\n print \"Import and export keybindings\\n\";\n print \" -e, --export <filename>\\n\";\n print \" -i, --import <filename>\\n\";\n print \" -h, --help\\n\";\n exit;\n } elsif ($arg =~ /^\\-/){\n die \"Unknown argument $arg\";\n } else {\n $filename = $arg;\n if (!$action){\n if ( -e $filename){\n $action='import';\n } else {\n $action='export';\n }\n }\n }\n}\n\n$action='export' if (!$action);\nif ($action eq 'export'){\n &export();\n} else {\n &import();\n}\n\nsub export(){\n my $gsettingsFolders = [\n ['org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings','.'],\n ['org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power','button'],\n ['org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys','.'],\n ];\n\n my $customBindings = [\n ];\n\n $filename = \">$filename\";\n open (my $fh, $filename) || die \"Can't open file $filename: $!\";\n\n for my $folder (@$gsettingsFolders){\n my @keylist = split(/\\n/, `gsettings list-recursively $folder->[0]`);\n foreach my $line (@keylist){\n if ($line =~ /^([^ ]+) ([^ ]+)(?: \\@[a-z]+)?

Ubuntu release choice? For example,
I have installed 10.10. During

2.6.32 and 2.6.35. Does 2.6.32 mean 10.04 and 2.6.32 mean 10.10?</li>

one kernel be also installed for
other kernels available during
startup?</li>

If everything goes well 11.04 will bring a great looking new <a href="http://design.canonical.com/2010/11/the-monospace-is-coming/">monospace font</a>. </p>
<p>It would only be a logical step to also develop a serif font! This way, the Ubuntu experience would get its definite touch. It could for example give a very special web experience as proposed and supported in <a href="https://lists.launchpad.net/ayatana/msg04795.html">this post</a>, by covering the three major font families.</p>
<p>Now of course the question remains, are there any plans for this?</p>

See more discussion on:</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http://launchpad.net/bugs/720332\">Bug #720332</a> <em>Expansion: Ubuntu Serif font style</em> (comment #2)</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>The initial focus has been on building a firm foundation for the <a href=\"http://font.ubuntu.com/\">Ubuntu Font Family</a> (style, quality, coverage). For the \"bootstrapping\" phase, <a href=\"http://www.daltonmaag.com/\">Dalton Maag</a> have been taking the lead with the initial drawing and engineering. The result will hopefully be a beautiful, highly-readable set of screen-optimised fonts, covering:</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Five scripts:</strong> Arabic, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Latin</li>\n<li><strong>Thirteen fonts:</strong> Ubuntu (×4), Ubuntu Mono (×4), Ubuntu Light/Medium (×4), Ubuntu Condensed (×1)</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>With this foundation built we can hopefully all transition the project over to being \"drawn by everyone\". If you'd like to contribute a script, style, or font to the project please find a local skilled type designer and start working with them on it, it may also be possible to arrange some internships if you know a budding student! The philosophy behind Ubuntu is that <em>\"everyone should be able to use Ubuntu in their native language\"</em> and that includes excellent font coverage for their own language too!</p>\n\n<p>Making a font (let alone thirteen!) takes a very, very long time so it's worth getting started on making connections. The end result will be seen and used by tens of millions of people, making each of their lives easier in the process:</p>\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Find a type designer</strong> who is interested</li>\n<li><strong>Work with them</strong> to make a beautiful, complementary and hinted expansion</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>This shouldn't be about just about making an <strong>Ubuntu Serif</strong> typeface \"for the sake of it\". The result is definitely worth doing if it will be truly better than the libre/open fonts that are already out there, or shipping in K/Ubuntu already!</p>\n",

I may have had to install gnome classic/fallback as well, but there should be plenty of tutorials online on how to get that installed if it's not there already.</p>\n\n<p>Another thing to note: when I upgraded i3 to 4.2 (I use the <a href=\"http://i3-wm.org/docs/repositories.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">i3 Ubuntu repository</a>), whenever I logged in the gnome-panel wouldn't appear until after I launched my first application.</p>\n",

<p>I want to use the PPA for customized versions of the <a href="https://launchpad.net/nova">OpenStack Compute (nova) project</a>, so I tried to do a test by uploading packages corresponding to the bexar release of this project (lp:nova/bexar), with a new version number and changelog entry. I signed the source packages using my OpenGPG key, which has been uploaded to the ubuntu keyserver:</p>
<pre><code>$ dch -v 2011.1-0ubuntu2-isi1 -D lucid "ISI bexar build #1"
$ dpkg-buildpackage -s -rfakeroot -tc -D -k4C8A14AB
</code></pre>
<p>When I tried to upload the files to the repository, it seemed to work (real email obscured):</p>
<pre><code>$ dput ppa:lorinh/ppa nova_2011.2~bzr663-1isi1_source.changes

</code></pre>
<p>However, the packages aren't listed on <a href="https://launchpad.net/~lorinh/+archive/ppa/">my PPA page</a>. If I try to upload again, I get the error:</p>
<pre><code>$ dput ppa:lorinh/ppa nova_2011.2~bzr663-1isi1_source.changes
Package has already been uploaded to ppa on ppa.launchpad.net
Nothing more to do for nova_2011.2~bzr663-1isi1_source.changes
</code></pre>
<p>Am I supposed to do something next? How do I track down what wrong? As of this writing, it's been a day and a half since I've done the upload.</p>
<p>Edit: I tried this again, and I received the email notification. I used a slightly different set of flags for dpkg-buildpackage the second itme:</p>
<pre><code>dpkg-buildpackage -S -sa -rfakeroot -tc -D -k4C8A14AB

<p>I have tried using Synaptic Package Manager and I think I am installing the right "plugins/codecs" yet to no avail or success. I used the instructions found here to remedy:</p>

<p>I know this impacts OTHER video editing software (in other words it is not specific just to OpenShot). They give the same type of error message when i try to use their presets as well.</p>
<p>So in a word "Help!"... Any info is much appreciated!!!</p>
<p>PS - If you know of a BETTER way to do this (another software) that is appreciated too!<br>

<p>Is there a shortcut key for accessing the menu bar of an application? (Not Ubuntu's menu.) I tried <kbd>Alt</kbd> and <kbd>F10</kbd>, but no luck. I don't want to access a specific menu, just the menu bar so I could use the arrows to go between the menus.</p>
<p>I'm using 11.04 Alpha-2.</p>

26154 | 1 | null | 2011-02-13T16:19:29.517 | 4 | 6125 | <p>I have configured my Ubuntu VirtualBox install to have a base memory setting of 512MB. When running this install, its fairly sluggish in a way that feels like its thrashing memory. In other words, it will be fine for a little while and then suddenly run like a pig for a minute or two. This happens when running a couple of terminals, Eclipse w/ a PyDev Django project, and Firefox, or really any combination of a few applications. </p>
<p>When I look in Windows task manager, the VirtualBox.exe that corresponds to this Ubuntu machine is hovering at about 100MB-120MB.</p>
<p>When I look at System Monitor within Ubuntu, I see that it says for Memory "329.3 Mib (66.3%) of 496.6 MiB" and for Swap "138.6 MiB (38.0%) of 365.0 MiB".</p>
<p>So my first question is, which of these numbers do I believe? (And why the difference?)</p>
<p>My second question is, how can I convince Ubuntu to use the memory I've given it, assuming it will improve performance.</p>

26172 | 1 | 26196 | 2011-02-13T19:17:28.677 | 4 | 1712 | <p>I have <em>yet another</em> question about <em>"where is my Linux memory"</em></p>
<p>Question goes: <strong>can I use cache for application data?</strong></p>
<p>On my laptop I have 1GB ram. Situation after some time of work: browser takes 400MB and all other apps caa 300MB (quickly summed in system monitor). System monitor says I use 90% of RAM and I have already 200MB on swap. Laptop is getting slower when I start new things (e.g. open new tab in browser or open new Nautilus window). <em>probably putting memory on swap</em></p>
<p>So there should be 1200MB (ram+swap) used but all app I see uses only 600MB. Where are other 600MB? Out of this 600MB there is 400MB real RAM.</p>
<p><em>I am not copying or any other massive IO activity.</em></p>
<p>I read about Linux smartly uses all ram it has using buffers and cache. So, kernel (cache) uses 300MB. What if I don't want to have disk mirrored and I want to use memory for application data (e.g. new browser tab)? I don't need 200MB of mirrored disk data, because I <em>(for example)</em> won't use open the same photos on data partition I just seen.</p>
<p><strong>So can I use <em>all</em> my RAM for application data?</strong> (including browser, desktop, xorg, other services). <strong>How?</strong></p>

"body": "<p>Some groups allow access to files or directories, for example: the <code>www-data</code> allow the access to web files or the <code>adm</code> group to read files in <code>/var/log</code>. This is the trivial use.</p>\n\n<p>But some groups allow access to certain devices. For example the <code>dialout</code> group allows access to the serial ports via files in <code>/dev</code>:</p>\n\n<pre><code>$ find /dev -group dialout -exec ls -ld {} \\;\ncrw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 64 Jan 19 12:51 /dev/ttyS0\ncrw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 67 Jan 19 12:51 /dev/ttyS3\ncrw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 66 Jan 19 12:51 /dev/ttyS2\ncrw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 65 Jan 19 12:51 /dev/ttyS1\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>So if you are member of the <code>dialout</code> group you can use the serial ports by reading and writing to the device file: <code>echo \"Hello world\" > /dev/ttyS0</code>. The <code>video</code> group allows access to the video hardware.</p>\n\n<p>For description of each groups, read the file: <code>/usr/share/doc/base-passwd/users-and-groups.html</code></p>\n\n<p><strong>EDIT about first comment:</strong></p>\n\n<p>In fact, usually you don't have to be in those groups to \"access\" the hardware resources, from a user point of view. The common practice is to have a daemon/server managing it, being member of the most restrictive group, then allowing you access to the daemon/server.</p>\n\n<p>For your case, being member of the <code>video</code> group allows direct access to the graphic hardware, not through the X server. Usually on desktop/laptop computer it is nice to have direct access to the graphic hardware (<code>glxinfo | grep \"direct rendering\"</code>).</p>\n\n<p>Side note, if you have direct rendering but you are not member of the <code>video</code> group (<code>id | grep --color video</code>), you were allowed hardware access by an acl of the <code>/dev</code> file (<code>find /dev/ -group video -exec getfacl {} \\; | grep $USERNAME</code>).</p>\n",

26199 | 1 | 26206 | 2011-02-13T21:13:30.267 | 9 | 15738 | <p>I have installed ubuntu 10.04 on a laptop. Wifi is switched on by default on startup. I can disable it rightclicking the network manager icon in the gnome bar.</p>
<p>How can I set it to have wifi switched off as default?</p>
<p>Alternatively, how can I switch off wifi on the console?</p>
<p>I tried already the rfkill command but it does not list any devices and it does not switch off wifi, I tried different parameters.</p>
<p>This is a standard install of the Ubuntu 10.04 i386 Desktop Live CD on an IBM T40 Laptop. </p>
<hr>
<p><em>EDIT A:</em> This is the output of some rfkill commands on my system, and it does not affect the wifi of the laptop:</p>
<pre><code>$ rfkill --help
Usage: rfkill [options] command
Options:
--version show version (0.4)
Commands:
help
event
list [IDENTIFIER]
block IDENTIFIER
unblock IDENTIFIER
where IDENTIFIER is the index no. of an rfkill switch or one of:
<idx> all wifi wlan bluetooth uwb ultrawideband wimax wwan gps fm
$ rfkill list
$ rfkill list wifi
$ rfkill list all
$ rfkill list wlan
$ sudo rfkill list all
$ sudo rfkill block all
$ sudo rfkill block wlan
$ sudo rfkill block wifi
$
</code></pre>
<hr>
<p><em>EDIT B:</em> Now I found out that </p>
<pre><code>sudo ifconfig eth1 down
</code></pre>
<p>turns it off.</p>
<p>And I can turn it on through the gnome network applet again. But the applet does not reflect the change from the commandline, it stills believes wifi is switched on. I have to switch it off and on again on the applet to switch it on again, when I switched it off from the console. </p>
<p>Is there a better way? </p>
<p>This is what the syslog looks like when I switch wireless off and on again from the network manager:</p>
<pre><code>NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): device state change: 3 -> 2 (reason 0)
NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): deactivating device (reason: 0).
NetworkManager: <info> Policy set '24' (eth0) as default for routing and DNS.
NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): taking down device.

kernel: [ 965.512048] eth1: no IPv6 routers present
</code></pre>
<hr>
<p><em>EDIT C:</em> It works somehow now, but in a hacky way, not very nice. I added a line to rc.local, just before <code>exit 0</code>:</p>
<pre><code>$ cat /etc/rc.local
#!/bin/sh -e
# turn off wifi on boot:
ifconfig eth1 down
exit 0
</code></pre>
<p>When I start the machine, wifi comes up, and after an instance it is turned off. This must be the effect of the standard configuration of ubuntu that turns it on, then my script <code>ifconfig eth1 down</code> kicks in and turns it off. And network manager does not realize that it was turned off and thinks it is still on.</p>
<p>It would be desirable to configure network manager's so that the standard state when turning on the machine can be <code>on</code> or <code>off</code>, and not only <code>on</code></p>

It collects messages of various programs and services including the kernel, and stores them, depending on setup, in a bunch of log files typically under <code>/var/log</code>. In some datacenter setups there are <em>hundreds</em> of devices each with its own log; <strong>syslog</strong> comes in handy here too. One just sets up a dedicated syslog server which collects all the individual device logs over the network. Syslog can also save logs to databases, and other clients.</p>\n\n<p>According to my <code>/etc/syslog.conf</code>, default <code>/var/log/kern.log</code> captures only the kernel's messages of any loglevel; i.e. the output of <code>dmesg</code>.</p>\n\n<p><code>/var/log/messages</code> instead aims at storing valuable, non-debug and non-critical messages. This log should be considered the \"general system activity\" log.</p>\n\n<p><code>/var/log/syslog</code> in turn logs everything, except auth related messages.</p>\n\n<p>Other insteresting standard logs managed by syslog are <code>/var/log/auth.log</code>, <code>/var/log/mail.log</code>.</p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<h3>2020 update</h3>\n\n<p>You may still stumble upon syslog; but the defaults have changed.</p>\n\n<p><code>journald</code> has replaced syslog, in quite a big portion of systems, including Ubuntu.</p>\n\n<p>This is relevant because you won't be finding <code>/var/log/messages</code> that often anymore. <code>journald</code> doesn't write plaintext logs — it uses its own, compressed and partially authenticated format.</p>\n\n<p>Search online for e.g. <em>journalctl cheatsheet</em>, or just study <code>man 8 systemd-journald</code>, <code>man 1 journalctl</code> yourself.</p>\n\n<p>Syslog and journald are, to a degree, cross-compatible; you can transport logs between them in either direction. However, you won't get plaintext logs a-la <code>/var/log/messages</code> with journald; and you won't get structured (<code>journalctl -o json-pretty</code>) and authenticated logging with syslog.</p>\n",

<p>Possible Considerations:</p>
<ul>
<li>The drives a WD20EARS with 64Mb cache.</li>
<li>The server hasn't gone down due to a power outage in the last 4-5 years. (even without a UPS)</li>
<li>Most of the data is media that can be ripped again from cd/dvd or downloaded from the relevant service, but some of it is pretty critical (family photo's, personal docs etc, but there is a working backup that's tested for recovery twice a year).</li>
</ul>
<p>What are the pro's and con's of each decision?</p>

<p>I want to replace Win-XP with Ubuntu 10.04 desktop. After I restarted with the Ubuntu CD all went well until the partitioning. The installer screen displayed that win7 was in <code>dev/sda1</code> and the rest <code>dev/sda2</code> it suggested to install Ubuntu. </p>
<p>When I checked the disk size it points <code>dev/sda1</code> to C: partition which is where Win-XP is installed. While the other partition E: is where my win7 is. This could be due to the boot loader residing in the C: partition or c being the system partition. When I try to manually changes I selected <code>dev/sda1</code> where the Ubuntu should be installed & tried to resize the partition but it freezes.</p>
<p>What am i not doing correctly? Thanks</p>

<p>I have several custom synaptics settings I want as system wide defaults. Right now I use a script with synclient commands I have to run every boot or wake. Pita. It used to be everything went in xorg.conf..which no longer exists. I'm trying to learn the new way, which is apparently conf files at <code>/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d</code>.</p>

<pre>Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "LockedDrags" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
EndSection</pre></li>
<li><p>I tried modifying the touchpad section of <code>/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf</code>, no cigar.</p></li>
<li><p>Tried the same 50-synaptics.conf and 10-evdev.conf files in a <code>/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d</code> section.</p></li>
<li><p>Tried making a <code>/etc/X11/xorg.conf</code> with the InputClass section above. No cigar.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I always revert the old change first, make the new one, and start a new X session to test (<code>startx -- :2</code>). <strong>Something I find interesting</strong> is that after any switch to the virtual terminal (<kbd>ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>alt</kbd>+<kbd>F1</kbd>) my synaptics settings are lost. Significant? I don't know.</p>
<p>These are the synclient commands I run:</p>

26299 | 1 | 26893 | 2011-02-14T11:35:30.457 | 5 | 15942 | <p>I always have a pause at boot saying my filesystems are being checked (with a "press C to cancel" note, too). Actually (seeing <code>boot.log</code>) I think it's the <code>/</code> fs, which is located at <code>/dev/sdb5</code></p>
<p>Several questions altoghether, here (hope this does not break any rule):</p>
<ul>
<li>Is this normal?</li>
<li>Can I (or even should I) prevent this anyhow?</li>
<li>According to boot.log (below) the fs does not seem to be 'clean', or, at least, it's in an state or condition that makes fsck always can it for errors for a while (just a few seconds). How can I fix it?</li>
</ul>

This is my boot.log:</p>

26300 | 1 | 26330 | 2011-02-14T11:37:47.510 | 1 | 5676 | <p>I have an brand new installation of Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic version) where everything is fine except the video resolution. In Ubuntu 9.10, the file xorg.conf is empty by default.</p>
<p>I'm using an onboard video card, and Ubuntu can not find the right resolution for me. It always uses 800x600, but I need at least 1024x768. Also, my monitor is listed as Unknown Type.</p>
<p>Ubuntu did find the right resolution when I changed the monitor to a Samsung monitor.</p>
<p>By the way what are the generic settings to put inside xorg.conf?</p>
<p>What is the settings for Refresh Rate, for example, I got a resolution of 1280x800, but the Refresh Rate generally between 60 ~ 80 htz is ZERO on my resolution..
In 1024 resolution my Refresh Rate is 75 htz..</p>
<p>What is going on with my resolution and how to modify the Refresh Rate??</p>
<p>Many Thanks!</p>

Sure, if there is /etc/X11/xorg.conf it will be used still. You can generate one with <code>Xorg -configure</code> command (as root, of course from a text VT, not from running X), and you may modify it a bit later then, if you need to customize it. As far as I remember that command will generate the config file in your home with name like xorg.conf.new, so you need to move it to the right place too.</p>\n",
