<p>I've tried the following software:</p>
<ul>
<li>Banshee - The iPod shows up and files seem to be copied, but they don't show up on the iPod.</li>
<li>Rhythmbox - Same as Banshee. Claims to sync but no files available on the iPod</li>
<li>gPodder - At first it wouldn't even recognize the device even though I set the mount point and device type. After syncing one file to the iPod from iTunes on my mac it now behaves as Banshee and Rythmbox. </li>
<li>gtkpod - Again: Copies the files but they are inacessible on the iPod.</li>
<li>Hipo - Doesn't even recognize the iPod</li>
<li>Amarok - What is this, I don't even...</li>
</ul>
<p>So to summarize: After some fiddling I can get most of these apps to recognize the iPod and copy files to it, but they are not accessible on the iPod which sort of defeats the whole purpose.</p>
<p>Help me out here. My continued harmonic love life depends on it. (Yes, it's the girlfriends iPod and laptop)</p>

System -> Preferences -> Ubuntu One -> Services -> uncheck "Files".</p>
<p>Can someone walk me though the debug process?</p>
<pre><code>Linux 2.6.35-25-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 21 17:40:48 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux

<p>I'm trying to reset the Ubuntu One configuration. I found good information here:
<a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/Bugs" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/Bugs</a></p>
<p><strong>Look for "ROOT_MISMATCH in syncdaemon.log"</strong></p>
<p>After running through the steps to reset and restart UbuntuOne, no more "Starting File Mangager" respawns.</p>

<p>Originally it simply said that it couldn't find the package but after wget'ing a deb form here: <a href="http://linuxappfinder.com/package/libopenssl-ruby" rel="nofollow">http://linuxappfinder.com/package/libopenssl-ruby</a> and trying to install using dpkg I get this new error. Dpkg itself said that it couldn't install my deb as it depended on 'libopenssl-ruby'.</p>
<p>Currently my sources.lst is this:</p>
<pre><code>###### Ubuntu Main Repos
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted universe multiverse
</code></pre>
<p>Does anyone know what might be wrong?</p>

<p>Motivation:
I was trying to install the new Enthought Python Distribution -- when the error above first showed up. The install finished -- and looked like there were a few more times it flagged dcopserver problems: </p>
<ul>
<li>Please check that "dcopserver" program is running!</li>
<li>Could not read network connection list: ~/home/user/.DCOPserver_host__0 </li>
</ul>
<p>When running ipython from the distribution, it claims that readline (the ability to up arrow in history or tab-complete) is not available for my system. It is though -- if I run the ipython that's sitting in /usr/bin/ipython all readline features work perfectly. So, I tried to fix the install by trying to fix what I thought could be causing the problems.</p>
<p>Bad things that are happening that I want to be fixed: </p>
<ul>
<li>When restarting I get the error: Could not update ICEauthority file /home/username/.ICEauthority.</li>
<li>ipython readline doesn't work with Enthought's ipython</li>
</ul>
<p>Things I have tried: </p>
<ul>
<li>changed the owner of my ~/.ICEauthority to be me.</li>
<li>changed the owner of home directory (and all nested files and folders) to be me</li>
<li>double checked that /var/lib/gdm was owned by Gnome (yep)</li>
<li>attempted to reinstall DCOP, kbuildsycoca stuff (fail)</li>
<li>I've removed nautilus; rebooted; reinstalled; rebooted; removed ubuntu-desktop; rebooted; reinstalled; rebooted. </li>
</ul>
<p>Any suggestions on how to fix the Bad Things that are happening would be greatly appreciated!</p>

Keyboard becomes totaly unresponsive, while mouse still works (I can move cursor, but can't click since desktop freezes) and music still plays and I can connect trough ssh. This is the only way I know I can try to solve problem - either by killing browser&flash or lastly restarting xorg server.</p>
<p>This problem appears on more than one Ubuntu computer. My home dekstop with proprietery nvidia driver, on my work where I use noveau driever (opensource driver for geforce) and sometimes <em>(but rarely)</em> also on laptop with ATI graphics <em>(using r300g driver which is really good!).</em></p>
<p><strong>Can someone explains why mouse still works while I can't input from keyboard?</strong> <em>(I can't switch to virtual console or do R-E-I-S-U-B command)</em> I have USB keyboard and USB mouse.</p>

<p>I have been using dropbox to sync my calendars in ics-format between different PC's instead of using google calendar. The disadvantage of google-calendar is, that I can only see my appointments when online. </p>
<p>Now I want to sync my calendars with my android device as well, what does not seem to be possible yet.</p>
<p>So I am planning to have an online copy of all my appointments on Google-Calendar, in order to sync them with my Android device. At the same time I want to be able to access my appointments offline (have an offline copy of each calendar on my PC's synced via Dropbox).</p>
<p>Is there a way to automatically duplicate and sync Coogle-Calendars with Ubuntu to achieve this?</p>
<p>This question is a follow-up, also see my related question, please: <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/26431/how-to-sync-calendar-with-android-without-google">https://askubuntu.com/questions/26431/how-to-sync-calendar-with-android-without-google</a></p>

It manages your ebook collection for you. It is designed around the concept of the logical book, i.e. a single entry in the database that may correspond to ebooks in several formats. It also upports conversion from a dozen different ebook formats to LRF and EPUB. A graphical interface to the conversion software can be accessed easily by just clicking the "Convert E-books" button.</p>\n<p>Supported input formats are: MOBI, AZW, LIT, PRC, EPUB, ODT, HTML, CBR, CBZ, RTF, TXT, PDF and LRS.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>Starting calibre's ebook viewer as a standalone application</strong></p>\n<p>In certain cases you will not want to add an epub or mobi file to calibre's library before reading it. Luckily calibre's ebook viewer can be started independently via <code>ebook-viewer</code>. This makes it possible to create a standalone launcher:</p>\n<pre><code>#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open\n[Desktop Entry]\nVersion=1.0\nType=Application\nTerminal=false\nIcon=calibre\nExec=ebook-viewer %f\nName=Ebook Viewer\nComment=Display .epub files and other e-reader formats\nStartupWMClass=ebook-viewer\nMimeType=application/x-mobipocket-ebook;application/epub+zip;\n</code></pre>\n<p>See <a href=\"https://askubuntu.com/questions/13758/how-can-i-edit-create-new-launcher-items-in-unity-by-hand\">here</a> for more information on adding launchers to your system.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>To click an ebook and open in ebook-viewer</strong>, make this application (<code>/usr/bin/ebook-viewer</code>) the default for that type of file.</p>\n",

26498 | 1 | 26518 | 2011-02-15T15:52:57.983 | 296 | 708700 | <p>So I have installed gcc-4.4 and gcc-4.3 (same for g++). Now as far as I remember there is a tool in Ubuntu which sets the symlinks for you if you just tell it which version you want. However it does not seem to work in the newest version, which I find disappointing.</p>
<pre><code>root@nexus:~# update-alternatives --config gcc
update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for gcc.
root@nexus:~# update-alternatives --config cc
There is only one alternative in link group cc: /usr/bin/gcc
Nothing to configure.
root@nexus:~# dpkg -l | grep gcc | awk '{print $2}'
gcc
gcc-4.3
gcc-4.3-base
gcc-4.3-multilib
gcc-4.4
gcc-4.4-base
gcc-4.4-multilib
gcc-4.5-base
gcc-multilib
lib32gcc1
libgcc1
</code></pre>
<p>Any ideas?</p>

<p><strong>Update</strong> The CMOS reset works but is not necessary for me. Shutting down and unplugging the power cord works as well. </p>
<p>I fear the only solution will be for someone to fix the driver, if anyone has another idea I would love to hear it.</p>

<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/rz6Pa.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
<ol>
<li>The problem is, that this box is bigger then the others...I've tried to change the font (System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Fonts), but doesn't work.</li>
<li>The icons are pretty big, i have no idea, where i can set the icon size.</li>
<li>Maybe the same as the first problem - the font size is to big and i see only part from the name of the program. Setting other font size via Appearance->Fonts doesn't help.</li>
</ol>
<p>Can someone give me a hint, what must be changed, to fix this problems?</p>

<p>What I don't understand is where it breaks and why X11 doesn't find the module?! I removed all (I think..) of the Nvidia packages which can with Ubuntu 10.10.

<p>Is there a better approach to sharing swap space?**</p>
<p>Based on the HOWTO, it seems best to create a dedicated NTFS swap partition:</p>
<ul>
<li>Dedicated so the swap file will be contiguous and remain unfragmented.</li>
<li>NTFS so both Windows and Ubuntu can read/write to it. (Or is FAT32 better for this purpose?)</li>
</ul>
<p>Then, configure Ubuntu to prepare the swap space for use by Linux on start up; by Windows on shut down.</p>

Transparent proxy is something what you don't even need to set up, since the outgoing traffic is automatically \"grabbed\" and redirected to force through the proxy (that's why it's \"transparent\": you don't even need to specify it).

<p>I opened a shell as root on my system and launched the following:</p>

tar zxvf tip.tar.gz
cd v4l... (whatever the newly created directory name is)
make all
sudo make install
</code></pre>
<p>Then I edited <code>/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-custom</code> and added <code>blacklist sn9c102</code>.</p>
<p>After reboot, I launched <code>sudo gstreamer-properties</code>.</p>
<p>However when I type <code>tar zxvf tip.tar.gz</code> it displays:</p>
<pre><code>tar: You may not specify more than one `-Acdtrux' or `--test-label' option
Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information.

<p>Why? How can I do this?</p>

<p>On the web server: </p>
<ol>
<li>Created the binary debs with dpkg-buildpackage</li>
<li>Put all of the binary debs in a web-accessible directory which corresponds to <code>http://www.example.com/packages</code></li>
<li><p>Generated a Packages.gz file in the same directory by doing: </p>
<p><code>dpkg-scansources . /dev/null | gzip -9c > Packages.gz</code></p></li>
</ol>
<p>On the client machine:</p>
<p>Added the following line to my /etc/apt/sources.list file: </p>
<p><code>deb <a href="http://www.example.com/packages">http://www.example.com/packages</a> /</code></p>
<p>Ran: <code>sudo apt-get update</code></p>
<p>The output related to my trivial repository looked like this: </p>
<pre><code>Ign http://www.example.com Release.gpg

Ign http://www.example.com Release
Ign http://www.example.com Packages
Ign http://www.example.com Packages
Hit http://www.example.com Packages
</code></pre>
<p>But I can't install the package by name. For example, there's a package called "python-nova" which corresponds to package <code>python-nova_2011.3-custom~bzr680-0ubuntu1_all.deb</code></p>
<p>I've tried to do: <code>apt-get install python-nova</code>, but I get the following error: </p>

<p>Since I'm often at a different location where I use my laptop I have a FTP server running on my main PC, use curlftpfs to mount the music in /home/username/Music and sync the Banshee DB/configuration via Dropbox. </p>
<p>The problem at the moment is that Banshee skips songs very often when the connection is a little slower. </p>
<p>I've been looking at some servers like Ampache but they are not really an option since they don't let me use Banshee (which means I have no ability to change metadata or rate songs).
Syncing the whole collection to my laptop isn't an option either because of its size. </p>
<p>It would be great if you had some ideas how to make my current set-up more reliable or maybe know an alternative. </p>

26555 | 1 | 26565 | 2011-02-15T23:47:06.743 | 2 | 2981 | <p>I recently got interested in the WebSocket technology. I built myself a server using PHP which I ran on Windows using the PHP CLI. That was fine for development, but now I need to think about deployment.</p>
<p>I got myself a little VPS running Ubuntu Server 10.10. I have basic knowledge of Linux, so I set up my SSH client, installed PHP-CLI and messed around to make sure it works, which it does.</p>
<p>Now, I can simply run my server using</p>
<pre><code>php server.php
</code></pre>
<p>But I don't think that's a great way of doing it. A few concerns:</p>
<ul>
<li>What will happen to the console output once I close my SSH client?</li>
<li>What if the server crashes?</li>
<li>I can't do anything else on my VPS while the server is running this way in the main thread</li>
</ul>
<p>Regarding the console output; is there a way to redirect STDOUT or something to a file, so I can still see the console output on Windows but on my VPS it is logged instead? As for the server crashes, what are some good ways to restart some processes automatically on server boot? And I think I could run it as a daemon or a service or something like that so it doesn't hang the main thread?</p>
<p>So, what are some usually used solutions for those problems? Is there somewhere I can read up more on this? I'd like to learn a little bit in the process!</p>

See <em>/etc/init.d/README</em> for how to do that.</p>\n\n<p>If you make the PHP file, server.php, executable, you can add a line to the top of the file (aka file magic/shebang/hashbang) to call it this way: <code>server.php</code> instead of <code>php server.php</code>.

Like this:</p>\n\n<pre><code>#!/usr/bin/php\n<?php\n // PHP code here\n</code></pre>\n\n<p><strong>Upstart</strong> is probably the way to go to make sure the service stays running. This method does not involve /etc/rc*.

<p>When I ssh to it using PuTTY (on a Windows machine), I find it responds to <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>S</kbd> and<br>
<kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Q</kbd> as XON/XOFF transmission control (i.e. the terminal freezes everytime I type <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>S</kbd> until I type <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Q</kbd>).</p>
<p>This hasn't been a problem on other remote servers, and I realise I don't really have much idea about how this is determined. Is this something that is negotiated at the start of the terminal session, something that is set by the choice of terminal emulation (TERM=xterm, if that helps) or - as I suspect - some setting on the server I am not aware of.</p>
<p>How do I tell Ubuntu that it is 2011, and no-one has terminals that rely on XON/XOFF any more?</p>

<p>HP Pavilion a255c 2.66GHz CPU, 512MB RAM with a BIOS revision of 6/30/2003</p>
<p>I reclaimed an older drive (Seagate ST340810A) that seems to be working, as it's recognized in the BIOS (auto-detected). So this is not the original HDD, but a replacement.</p>
<p>I downloaded a <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD" rel="nofollow">mini.iso</a> of Ubuntu 10.10 that I want to install, and burned the image to a CD for install.</p>
<p>My boot sequence is: First Boot Device [CDROM]. I disabled devices 2-4 so I can just force it to read first from the CD-ROM.</p>
<p>This old PC also has a separate CD writer which is a Sec.Slave. The Sec.Master is the Toshiba DVD/ROM DSM-171 drive where I placed the burned Linux CD.</p>
<p>With these settings I cannot get it to boot. I get the message</p>
<pre><code>"DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER"
</code></pre>
<p>when I start the pc with the cd (burned iso image).</p>
<p>Would I be able to boot off a usb flash drive? Would that work?</p>

<p>Right now I am back to the original virgin Ubuntu 10.10 with all the recent updates. This computer will do nothing but play music (mp3 and WMA) through a stereo system. I also use Internet to update album info for the music. I do not care what bells and whistles the music player program has, as long as it is an easy install and just plays my mp3 and wma lossless music files. Any help would be appreciated.</p>

<p>In this unmounted state, <code>mount</code> (of course) reports nothing, and likewise for <code>df</code>..<br>
but Nautilus is aware of the DVD hardware unit and has read the Label; which it shows in <em>Places</em> </p>
<p>So it seems to me that Nautilus has already accessed the DVD devices (Did it temporarily mount it?)... </p>
<p>The main point of my question was to determine how to find the device Id of an unmounted device .. but as I've been writing this, I now think it may not be as simple as that... </p>
<p>This issue came up because I wanted to test this command<br>
<a href="https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/7489/how-to-create-a-copy-of-dvd-that-is-larger-than-maximum-size-of-file-on-filesyste">cat iso-pieces.* | growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=/dev/stdin</a>,<br>
but then realized that I didn't know how to get my DVD's device Id.<br>
... and does the above command requires a mounted device, or does it write directly to the device? ... as you can see, I'm a bit vague about devices :)<br>
Come to think of it maybe Nautalus read the DVD device directly, because when all is said and done, something has to read/write directly to it. </p>
<p><em>info growisofs</em> says: </p>
<blockquote>
<p>Under Linux it will most likely be an ide-scsi device such as "/dev/scd0 </p>
</blockquote>
<p>How can I find this Id via a script?</p>

<p>Before starting the install I had configured an apt proxy server.</p>
<p>The proxy server was configured by writing</p>
<pre><code>Acquire::http { Proxy "http://apt-proxy-server:3142"; };
</code></pre>
<p>to the new file <code>/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02proxy</code> on the running system booted from the LiveCD.</p>
<p>This proxy was used correctly for my various package installs on the live system prior to launching the system installation GUI. It accesses <code>apt-cacher-ng</code> running in non-transparent mode on the machine <code>apt-proxy-server</code>.</p>
<p>However, the downloads taking place during the installation are not using this proxy. I verified that the file <code>02proxy</code> had not been changed or removed.</p>
<p>Is there a way to force usage of an APT proxy during installation?</p>

26585 | 1 | 26596 | 2011-02-16T05:08:26.433 | 1 | 2433 | <p>I have a corrupt the partition table on the laptop that is running Ubuntu 10.4.</p>
<p>Before the partition table was corrupt I had the following partitions: 2 primary partitions: 1st - NTFS 2nd - Extended 4 logical partitons that are built within 2nd extended: 1st NTFS (68 Gib) 2nd Linux (19 Gib) 3rd Swap (1.4 Gib) 4th Linux (24 Gib)</p>
<p>The physical order of these partitions was the following: ( 4th Linux ) - ( 1st NTFS ) - ( 2nd Linux ) - ( 3rd Swap ) The logical order of the partition was different: ( 1st NTFS ) - ( 2nd Linux ) - ( 3rd Swap ) ( 4th Linux )</p>
<p>NTFS partition was big and it resided between 2 Linux partitions, neither of these partitions had enough space to install Oracle 11g. Therefore, I decided to a) either move the NTFS partion to the left or b) remove it completely and extend partition where Linux resides.</p>
<p>As I tool I have chosen GParted. But unfortunately it was not able to move the partition because he found that in NTFS partition there are some blocks that are referenced multiple times. Also it was not able to remove the partition neither, because in this case the partitions that follow it ( 2nd Linux ) - ( 3rd Swap ) have to be in his opinion also removed, because the organization of extended partition is a linked list.</p>
<p>Since GParted was not able to do such thing I was trying to find another tool. I found diskdrake tool on PSLinuxOS distribution of linux. That tool silently deleted ( 1st NTFS ) partition and I thought that everything was fine. But diskdrake has damaged the partition in a way that I am not able either to boot from the hard disk nor to see the partitions with GParted and even with diskdrake itself!</p>
<p>Fortunately I have a live CD of Ubuntu 8.10 and I am able to boot and see hard disk.</p>
<p>I have 2 ideas how I can solve the problem: 1) Manually change disk partitions and point them to the correct partitions. 2) Create partition table with GParted that as much as possible is the same with the previous one</p>
<p>I find the 2nd approach less time consuming but some data will be lost because of it is not possible to place borders of the partitions exactly how it was before. And moreover I am not sure if such approach would work, for example, if the OS is able to locate files after repartitioning. I feel like that it will but not 100% sure.</p>
<p>Are there some ideas how the problem may be solved?</p>

It doesn't even show the shutdown screen (the one with the animated dots) where I could hit ESC and watch the shutdown console text. The system is brand-new and fully updated using Update Manager. </p>
<ol>
<li><strong>How can I determine what is causing the freeze?</strong> </li>
<li><strong>Is there a log I can investigate?</strong> </li>
<li><strong>How can I fix this?</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>I see no obvious cause of the freeze. The only USB attachment is a mouse/keyboard; I don't have any external storage attached; and I don't have any programs running (the machine freezes even when doing shutdown right from the login screen).</p>
<p><strong>What I've tried so far:</strong> </p>
<ul>
<li>Based on other questions (<a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/21749/computer-freezes-on-shutdown">this</a>, <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/11438/shutdown-fails-after-upgrading-from-lucid-to-maverick">this</a>, and <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/12979/computer-wont-shut-down">this</a>) that suggest some ACPI settings, I've tried <code>sudo shutdown -h now</code> to see whether the shutdown console text display offers any hints, but the system doesn't even get that far - it still freezes while the screen shown the desktop background image, without any toolbars. <strong>Only <code>sudo shutdown --force</code> works,</strong> but that's not a solution.</li>
<li>Editing the grub menu to add <em>acpi=off</em> to the kernel didn't help. I guess there's not much point in trying the other (lesser) ACPI suggestions?</li>
<li>Adding <em>noapic</em> to the grub entry had no discernible effect. Adding <em>nolapic</em> instead did something (I had removed the <em>quiet</em> option) - the system managed to continue further with the shutdown, right until the line <em>Checking for running unattended-upgrades:</em> which were the last characters on the screen.</li>
<li>I've also checked the system BIOS, especially regarding power options, but didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Switching the BIOS standby setting from S3 to S1 didn't help. The standby setting can't be disabled, and there are no other ACPI-related settings AFAIK.</li>
<li>BIOS reset didn't help. Not surprised; hadn't changed anything.</li>
<li>I tried going to a virtual console (CtrlAltF1) <a href="http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/525886#525886">as suggested</a> by djeikyb and from there did a <em>shutdown -h now</em> and it froze there too, after <a href="http://paste.ubuntu.com/568337/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this console output</a>. I didn't try killing processes one at a time because I'm still too newbie to figure out how to do that.</li>
<li>Booting with kernel 2.6.35.22 rather than 2.6.35.25 didn't help.</li>
<li>Disabling the Nvidia drivers didn't help.</li>
<li>Booting from Live CD (USB stick in fact) didn't help; it freezes the same way.</li>
<li>Booting from Live CD, with <code>acpi=off noapic nolapic</code> didn't help either. Neither did just <code>nolapic</code>. So evidently this is not some custom setting in my install, but some sort of basic issue.</li>
<li>MemTest competed in 1 hour without errors.</li>

<p>When I boot the system, X fails to start because there is no monitor detected. If I boot it with a monitor attached and after X has started, when I remove the monitor everything works fine.</p>
<p><strong>Details and Background:</strong></p>
<p>This computer is a kind of hardware consolidation server. It's only purpose is to run two Virtual Box VM's that run Windows XP and some important but seldom used (once or twice a month) programs. For a couple of time it has been lying in a corner with an old monitor attached to it and working great.</p>
<p>But space in the office was getting scarce and I moved the computer to the <em>server room</em>. There is no monitor attached to it there (no space), and sometimes the computer is rebooted. When it boots without monitor X is not started, the vms doesn't start and I get called to solve the problem.</p>

I've got a problem with JavaScript under Ubuntu, that drives me crazy.</p>
<p>I'm using Gedit for my web sites since I'm an Ubuntu user. When I start a new website I create (usually with the gnome terminal) folder structure, and I copy the files I need into them.<br>
The next step is creating an index.html where I build the design and basic JavaScript functionality. JavaScript is stored in a sub-folder of the project and when i try to load one using the tag in the header, my whole page body disappears. If the source contains a script tag with its own body, and its not the first its code wont run.</p>
<p>I've tried to solve the problem by setting chmod to 777 with <code>sudo chmod -R 777 .</code> but nothing changed.<br>
CSS is loading correctly, but JS isn't. </p>
<p>I'm using the newest version of apache, no mod_rewrite stuff, but i get the same problem when I run the html from file (file:///...)</p>
<p>Do anyone know how to solve this problem?</p>

Dependencies also can require version specific things (newer, older, etc). So in nutshell; you may have the problem since you forced something to install a package with dependencies which cannot be resolved at all. The question is: where did you get that package? Is it possible that it has got a version which is designed for your version of ubuntu? I guess this can be the problem anyway. So the problem is caused by you, when you ignored dependencies with intent \"--force-depends\".</p>\n\n<p>If you are really brave (note, this is really not recommended!) you can edit that package's dependencies by editing file <code>/var/lib/dpkg/status</code>. If the software otherwise work for you, it can be the solution, but again, this is <em>VERY</em> ugly also you can damage your package database this way, this is really not a clever thing to do, unless you like to be bad :)</p>\n",

26639 | 1 | null | 2011-02-16T12:53:51.960 | 1 | 1096 | <p>While performing a Ubuntu 10.10 installation on my laptop, it doesn't show partitions pertaining to the PC.</p>
<p>My PC configuration is as follows : </p>
<ul>
<li>HP Pavilion dv6 - 2020AX</li>
<li>AMD Turion II Dual Core Mobile Processor M500</li>
<li>4 GB RAM </li>
<li>OS Installed : Windows 7 </li>
<li>500 GB Hard drive partitioned as follows :
<ul>
<li>C : 227 GB (Free : 142 GB)</li>
<li>D : 11.9 GB (Free : 1.98 GB) - Recovery </li>
<li>F : 174 GB (Free : 18 GB)</li>
<li>G : 50.5 GB (Free : 50.4 GB)</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<p>So, I want to perform a Dual-boot installation on my PC, so that Ubuntu resides in the free disk space G:.
Therefore, I started the Ubuntu 10.10 installation and select the manual partitioning feature in the installation.</p>
<p>However, in the 'Allocate Drive Space' section of the installation, following partitions information is displayed: </p>
<ul>
<li><p>Partition Type Size Used</p></li>
<li><p>/dev/sda </p>
<ul>
<li>/dev/sda1 1 MB unknown</li>
<li>/dev/sda2 ntfs 208 MB unknown</li>
<li>/dev/sda3 ntfs 244813 MB 168540 MB</li>
<li>/dev/sda4 ntfs 255083 MB 3221 MB</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<p>where /dev/sda - 500 GB</p>
<p>So, what exactly is the problem?
What is it should I do to install Ubuntu 10.10 in the G: disk space?
Why are the partitions not being shown as the way they should be?</p>
<p>Any Suggestions.
Thank you for the help.</p>

<p>I've just set up a new nettop computer (Acer <a href="http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/PT.SEM02.011" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Aspire Revo 3700</a>: CPU:Atom D525, GPU:Nvidia ION2). I've just made a clean install of Ubuntu 10.10 using the standard USB pendrive method. <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/26601/new-computer-hangs-on-shutdown-reboot-how-to-troubleshoot">Almost</a> everything works OK, <strong>but the graphics are not OK:</strong> the recommended Nvidia driver is activated but the monitor is not detected, so the resolution is wrong.</p>
<p><strong>How can I make Ubuntu detect my monitor?<br>
How can I get the proper resolution (1280x1024) in Ubuntu?</strong></p>
<p>I know that my monitor is not a CRT but an LCD: it's a BenQ, model T905, with 1280x1024 resolution at 60Hz, connected via a normal VGA cable. DVI or HDMI is not an option.</p>
<p>When I go to System>Prefs>Monitors, I get:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>It appears that your graphics driver
does not support the necessary
extensions to use this tool. Do you
want to use your graphics driver
vendor's tool instead?<br>
YES NO</p>
</blockquote>
<p>If I say NO then I get a window:<br>

or for YES I get this:<br>
<img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/zgdyh.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
<p>In both cases I don't see that I can fix this problem. The main reason for getting this new computer was that I was sick of having <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/19457/cant-set-1280x1024-with-nvidia-geforce-8400-gs">graphics problems on the old one</a> with a <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/19954/how-to-set-the-monitor-to-its-native-resolution-which-is-not-listed-in-the-resolu">very ugly solution</a> that didn't give me hardware support - but at least I got the resultion.
