27065 | 1 | null | 2011-02-19T01:42:04.157 | 8 | 20702 | <p>I just bought a brand new battery to replace one that had seemingly died. I followed the instructions that came with the battery and charged it overnight, then ran my computer on battery until it was in a critical state and charged it overnight again. Now the battery appears to be 100% charged and at the same time at 0% capacity—when it's plugged in it doesn't charge and when it's unplugged the computer immediately goes into low power mode.</p>
<p>I've taken the battery out and checked the contacts. I've rebooted the system with and without the battery. Nothing seems to help.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if I should blame the battery, the laptop, the charger, or the power management software for this state of affairs. The obvious answer would be the battery <em>but</em> I bought <em>this</em> battery because another year-old battery exhibited similar behavior—I assumed it was dead and a Dell tech came to the same conclusion. I'm loathe to order another new battery without first exploring other explanations.</p>
<p>What can I do to diagnose this problem?</p>
<p>Here's the <code>/proc</code> info:</p>
<pre><code>$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state
present: yes
capacity state: critical
charging state: charged
present rate: 1 mA
remaining capacity: 0 mAh
present voltage: 9754 mV
$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info
present: yes
design capacity: 6600 mAh
last full capacity: 6789 mAh
battery technology: rechargeable
design voltage: 11100 mV
design capacity warning: 660 mAh
design capacity low: 200 mAh
cycle count: 0
capacity granularity 1: 66 mAh
capacity granularity 2: 66 mAh
model number: DELL WK
serial number: 4043
battery type: LION
OEM info: SMP
</code></pre>
<p>[UPDATE] It turned out to be the AC adapter. I find it very strange that a faulty adapter can cause the charging state to be "charged" on an empty battery.</p>
<p>I'll still up-vote answers that give good debugging strategies for this situation—swapping out the battery and adapter, in turn, is obvious but one doesn't always have a spare battery or adapter around to play with. As noted below, Dell was actually prepared to send a technician to my house to replace the motherboard, which would have been a phenomenal waste of time and money.</p>

27093 | 1 | 27094 | 2011-02-19T07:23:56.120 | 43 | 44886 | <p>I'm planning to have a house built. I want to draw up some sketches on the computer, so I am looking for a program that can help me do this. It doesn't have to be a professional architecture tool; in fact that would be too complicated just yet (but maybe later on, for the detailed work...?). A simpler tool would be better. </p>
<p><strong>Features</strong> should include such things as ability to draw <em>and move</em> walls (not just using simple boxes), calculate room/floor area, add windows and doors, and the like. That's why Inkscape or OOo Presentation won't do. On Windows, a friend would just download a cracked professional architecture tool but that is not what I want to do.</p>
<p>Suggestions?</p>

27099 | 1 | 27411 | 2011-02-19T09:22:46.927 | 3 | 4406 | <p>I've got an old Eee PC 701 4G with the following specifications:</p>
<ul>
<li>512 MB RAM</li>
<li>4GB SSD drive SM223AC</li>
<li>8GB SD card extension</li>
<li>Screen resolution: 800 x 480 </li>
<li>BIOS Revision 1101 (05/16/2008)</li>
<li>EC Firmware version: EPC-079</li>
</ul>
<p>Windows XP SP3 works fine on it, but I decided to switch my OS to Ubuntu. </p>
<p>I have downloaded an Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook Remix ISO and wrote it to my FAT32 SD card using Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.3.3, as described on ubuntu.com</p>
<ol>
<li>During standard load from the SD card the boot process hangs up with black screen.</li>
<li>If I'll press F6 while preloading Ubuntu, it sucessfully displays the boot menu, selecting language and showing 2 main commands: "Run ubuntu from USB drive" and "Install Ubuntu". Selecting either of these commands leading to the same result - after some background work the main loading indicator is displayed ("Ubuntu" text with dotted progress bar under it), and it's progressing forever without any effect.</li>
</ol>
<p>Is Ubuntu 10.10 compatible with my Eee PC at all? How to boot it correctly?</p>

Here's how I got it to work - I ejected the SD card, inserted the usb reader, held down the ESC key, and then turned the computer on. Holding down the ESC gave me the option to choose my boot device, whereas nothing else would. Maybe the problem you are having is trying to run it from the SD card slot.

If you use <a href=\"http://packages.ubuntu.com/bzr\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">bzr</a> for version control (which I recommend), you can use Launchpad to manage your code.

It is bad practice for applications to automatically create icons on the user's desktop. You should, however, create a menu entry for your application so that users can run it from the Applications menu and optionally create a desktop shortcut for it. To do this, you need to write a <a href=\"http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">.desktop file</a> and in your debian/rules file under the binary-indep section, copy it to /usr/share/applications (in debian/tmp).</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>automatically requesting for administrator privileges to execute</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>I hope you mean for the setup file - a chat app has no reason to run as administrator. The .deb file will do this for you - it will open in Ubuntu Software Centre, which will require a password.</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>inserting an entry into the startup menu</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>I don't know what this means. What is the startup menu? If you mean the Applications menu, see 'setting desktop icons'.</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>automatically compress my application and reduce download size</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>This is done automatically when you create the .deb package - .deb packages are compressed.</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>automatic startup for my application without user intervention</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>I don't know if this is possible but you shouldn't do it anyway. It should be up to the user which applications they want to autostart. This is set through the Startup Applications preferences window.</p>\n\n<p>Once you have managed to create a .deb package and uploaded to a PPA, you should consider trying to <a href=\"https://askubuntu.com/q/167/667\">get your application into the official Ubuntu repositories</a>. Be prepared for a steep learning curve - <a href=\"http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1586495\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">debian packaging is hard to understand at first</a>, but if you persevere, you will get it eventually.</p>\n",

<p>The operation completed within a minute - first it checked previous snapshot, assessed the changes, detected two new files and synced them. After this when I browsed to the backed up contents, I was surprised to see the newer and older backup taking up 9.6 GB each. </p>

<p>I have tried to mount the iPhone with <code>ifuse /mnt/iphone/</code> but the result of that operation is:</p>
<pre><code>GNUTLS ERROR: A TLS packet with unexpected length was received.
</code></pre>
<p>Hi, how do I connect my iPhone to my laptop (Ubuntu 10.04) so that I can sync music and be able to look at it as a USB stick? (This is what I am expecting to happen.)</p>
<p>When I connect it to my laptop, nothing happens - it doesn't show up as an icon or as a mass storage device.</p>
<p>My iPhone runs iOS v4.2.1 and it's an iPhone 3G. It's not jailbroken for the moment; would that be a problem? My laptop is an Asus 1201n with Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit).</p>
<pre><code>Bus 002 Device 005: ID 05ac:1292 Apple, Inc. iPhone 3G
</code></pre>
<p>I connected my Ipod Video (30 gb) and that one doesn't appear as well So I'm kind of stuck now. The problem probably lies in the system, because the usb port is working.</p>

<p>I have added <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/27141/noting-happens-when-i-connect-my-iphone-3g-to-my-laptop/27163#27163">this PPA</a>, I have done all of the <code>sudo update</code> and <code>upgrade</code>. but my computer doesn't realize that my iPhone is connected, whish isn't related to <code>libimobiledevice</code>.</p>
<p>The port is working fine, it's simply that my computer doesn't recognize that I have my iPhone plugged-in! The phone itself is working (I tested it on my Mac).</p>
<p>I have the latest versions of these programs: <code>hipo</code>, <code>ipod</code>, <code>gtkpod</code>, <code>ifuse</code>, <code>libusmuxd1</code> and <code>usbmxd</code>.</p>
<p>I connected my iPhone in Windows 7 and it worked, albeit annoyingly. I tried to mount my iPhone with <code>fuse</code> but I got this error:</p>
<pre><code>alvar@alvars-laptop:~$ ifuse /mnt/iphone/
ERROR: the mount point specified does not exist

I am using the selection tool in gimp in order to change the "hue/lightness and saturation" of the selection to a different color. This tool can be reached in the "Colors" menu of Gimp.</p>\n<h3>Note:</h3>\n<p>As PNG files open in indexed mode by default, you might want to try converting the PNG into RGB mode (menu Image ➔ Mode ➔ RGB).

But good news is: it WONT mess with your Ubuntu partition.</p>\n\n<p>The point is: its SO easy to fix grub that you should not worry about this. Just follow these steps:</p>\n\n<p><strong>Before upgrading Windows (ie, while you still can boot Ubuntu):</strong></p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><p>Burn an Ubuntu bootable CD, or use the \"Start Up Disk Creator\" utility from Menu -> System -> Administration to create a bootable USB key. You probably already have either the CD or USB, the same you will use for installing Ubuntu works fine</p></li>\n<li><p>Give your Ubuntu partition a label. Not necessary, but helps.</p></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p><strong>After upgrading Windows (to restore grub/Ubuntu):</strong></p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Boot using your CD/USB and start a Live session</li>\n<li>Got to Home Folder -> Computer, find your Ubuntu partition, and double-click to mount it. If you have trouble finding which is your Ubuntu partition, use <code>gParted</code>. After mounting, take note of WHERE it was mounted (usually will be /media/LABEL, where LABEL is the Label of your Ubuntu partition, if it has one. Hence my previous suggestion on labeling it)</li>\n<li>Also, using gParted, take a note of of which device is your boot drive. It will probably be <code>/dev/sda</code></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Now for the \"real deal deal\":</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Open terminal, and: </li>\n</ul>\n\n<p><code>sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/UBUNTU /dev/sda</code> </p>\n\n<p><strong>And thats it!</strong></p>\n\n<p>Reboot, and grub will show up, allowing you to use Ubuntu again</p>\n\n<p>Notes:</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><p>In these examples, i assumed you labeled your Ubuntu partition <code>UBUNTU</code>, and your boot drive is <code>/dev/sda</code>. <strong>Check those values before issuing the grub-install</strong></p></li>\n<li><p>After booting on Ubuntu, do a <code>sudo update-grub</code> so it scans your drives again and add the Windows 7 partition to the list. It was there before, as Vista, but an update will fix menu name and other options</p></li>\n<li><p>Dont worry about the error message: \"cannot find /boot device. (is /dev mounted?)\" while (re-) installing grub from Live CD. Its an annoying bug. If there is a message \"All steps successfull\" shows up, everything is fine.</p></li>\n</ul>\n",

I need, however, to be able to access those files securely over the internet from both Ubuntu and Windows machines.<br>
I'm somewhat new to SSH and not sure what the best approach to solving my problem is. If anyone knows how I can do this or where I can find a detailed tutorial I'd be grateful.</p>

<p>The config worked perfectly well as <code>.ovpn</code> on Windows. The behavior in Windows is such that I ran OpenVPN GUI and chose to connect to this particular VPN. It would then show the activity in the attempt to connect and opens a dialog box for username/password authentication.</p>
<p>I've successfully imported all the configurations by changing the file type to <code>.conf</code> and using the import feature in network manager. However, attempting to connect would simply display the network manager's attempting to connect animation, but ultimately end with a notification of connection timing out. No prompt asking for authentication would appear at all, nor can I find any feature to prefix the authentication details.</p>

;http-proxy [proxy server] [proxy port #]
</code></pre>
<p>Needless to say, but I've downloaded all the required packages for setting up OpenVPN connections.</p>
<p>By the way, as you can see above, <code>.key</code> and <code>.crt</code> files location are specified to be in the same directory as the config file. After importing the config file, if I were to remove them, would it cause any problem? Note, I haven't removed them, so the problem I'm facing is not due to the absence of these files.</p>

I've been playing around with some add-ons on Firefox that allow you to split the browser, but they are cumbersome. </p>
<p>I'm now trying Chrome, and opening 4 different browser windows that I've tiled on the screen in quadrants (I use the Compiz grid applet for this). This is not ideal as each browser replicates the URL bar and the tab, and I don't have opening ths windows automated upon restart. Chrome is great in managing screen real estate, but this is not ideal. In Firefox I tried various extension to hide interface elements, but it was very clunky... Am wondering whether anyyone has tried to do similar with TD, and how they achieved what I'm going after?</p>
<p>Am wondering whether someone has a good technique for accomplishing what I'm looking for?</p>

I recently installed Ubuntu Server (10.10) on it and polished it up with <code>nodm</code> (one of the most simple ways to launch an X session) and installed <code>boxee</code>. It's been working fine for over a month.</p>
<p>It's just running ALSA. I've had problems with PulseAudio/Boxee/HDMI before so I wanted to keep it simple. And that worked. It pushed both PCM and digital (AAC and various Dolby codecs) over HDMI perfectly.</p>

<p>One thing I have noticed is there doesn't appear to be any sign of a <code>IEC958</code> device. A traditional fix in the past for fresh installs has been to load <code>alsamixer</code>, find the IEC device and <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1332261" rel="nofollow">toggle its mute</a> but I can't. I'm <strong>certain</strong> this used to represent the HDMI output. It just doesn't seem to exist any more unless I run <code>sudo alsa-utils restart</code> while <code>boxee</code> is running, when I see it in an error message:</p>
<pre><code>* Shutting down ALSA... [ OK ]
* Setting up ALSA...
* warning: 'alsactl restore' failed with error message 'alsactl: set_control:1388: Cannot write control '2:0:0:IEC958 Playback Default:0' : Operation not permitted'...
...done.
</code></pre>
<p>When <code>nodm</code> (and thus boxee) aren't running, I don't see this error but <code>alsamixer</code> still doesn't show the IEC channel.</p>
<p><code>aplay -l</code> gives:</p>
<pre><code>card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: ALC662 rev1 Analog [ALC662 rev1 Analog]

<p>Its section in <code>lshw</code> reads:</p>

<p>I was running on the stock PAE kernel but now it's running on 2.6.37.1. I upgraded to see if that fixed things; it didn't.</p>
<p>I'm considering a reinstall but I hate doing that because a) there's a bit of custom configuration in getting X and Boxee to start on boot and b) I don't know what the problem is. If I reinstall this time, I'll end up doing that <em>every</em> time the sound breaks. I love Ubuntu but I don't want to install it once a month.</p>
<p>Is there any way to forcibly reset all <code>alsa</code> settings and restart from scratch (without doing a reinstall)? Any other tips?</p>
<p>If you need more information, just ask.</p>

27176 | 1 | 27185 | 2011-02-19T23:42:27.653 | 14 | 3720 | <p>When trying to manage trash can from mounted NTFS volumes, I ended up reading <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/trash-spec" rel="noreferrer">FreeDesktop.org's reference</a> on it.</p>
<p>Poking around and doing some tests, I realized Ubuntu/Gnome does not follow the specs 100%. Here's why:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>For non-/ partitions, it <strong>always</strong> uses <code><driveroot>/.Trash-<uid></code>, It <strong>never</strong> used <code><driveroot>/.Trash/<uid></code>, even when i created it in advance. While this works, it's annoying: if I have 15 users, I end up with 15 <code>/.Trash-xxx</code> folders in my drive, while the other approach would still give a single folder (with 15 sub-folders). That "pollution" in my drives is very unpleasant. And specs say "<em>If an <code>$topdir/.Trash</code> directory is absent, an <code>$topdir/.Trash-$uid</code> directory is to be used</em>". Well, it is present, so why does it never use it?</p></li>
<li><p>root trash does <strong>not</strong> work, at least not out of the box. Open nautilus as root and click on trash; it gives an error. Try to delete any file, it says "it can't move to trash". Ok, I know this can be fixed by creating <code>/root/.local/share</code>. But specs says "<em>A “home trash” directory SHOULD be automatically created for any new user. If this directory is needed for a trashing operation but does not exist, the implementation SHOULD automatically create it, without any warnings or delays.</em>". Why the error then? Bug?</p></li>
<li><p>Why must I change <code>/etc/fstab</code> entries for mounted volumes, adding options like uid and guid, if the volumes are already mounted as RW for everyone? </p></li>
</ul>
<p>These are just some examples of deviation from the standard. So, the question is:</p>
<p><strong>"If Ubuntu does not adhere 100% to the spec, HOW <em>exactly</em> does the trash work? WHERE can i find a technical reference for Ubuntu's implementation of the trash?"</strong></p>
<p>By the way: if Ubuntu does happen to follow specs, please tell me what I am doing wrong, especially regarding the <code>/.Trash-<uid></code> vs <code>/.Trash/<uid></code> issue.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p>
<p>Some more info:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>If a given fs has no support for the sticky bit (VFAT, NTFS), it probably doesn't have for permissions either (at least VFAT surely doesn't). So what prevents one user from purging <code>/</code> restoring other users' <code>./Trash-xxx</code> ? If one can read/write his own Trash, one can do the same for the whole drive, including other's trashes, correct? Or does Gnome have some kind of "extra" protection on <code>./Trash-xxx</code> folders on VFAT/NTFS fs?</p></li>
<li><p>If Linux can "emulate" file permissions on NTFS mounting by editing <code>/fstab</code> uid and gid options, can it also "emulate" the sticky bit? I would really prefer to use <code>/.Trash/xxx</code> format...</p></li>
<li><p>For the root issue: for the / partition, I can use trash as root, and it goes to <code>/root/.local/share/Trash</code>. But if I click on Nautilus "Trash" (as root), I get an error. Don't you? So files are correctly trashed, but I can't access it. All I can do is manually "purge" them (by deleting files on <code>/root/.local/share/Trash</code>), but restoring would be very tricky (opening info files and manually moving, etc.).</p></li>
<li><p>For non-/ partitions (or at least for VFAT/NTFS), I can not even use trash as root: it does not create a <code>./Trash-0</code> folder, it simply says "Cannot trash, want to permanently delete?" Why?</p></li>
<li><p>About fstab: i use it for a permanent mount for my NTFS partitions. I have several, and if not "pre-mounted" they really clutter the desktop and/or Nautilus. I'd rather have it pre-mounted, integrated in my file system, in mounts like <code>/data</code> , <code>/windows/xp</code> , <code>/windows/vista</code> , and so on, and leave <code>/media</code> and its "mount/unmount" flexibility just for truly removable drives.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>So, if Ubuntu/Gnome truly follows the spec, is there any way to fix the root issues and to "emulate" the sticky bit for (at least) my fstab'ed NTFS fixed partitions?</p>

Normally removable media is mounted automatically upon detection in /media for the user that is currently active, but it is then inaccessible to any other user. If you want a different setup then you should mess with the configuration file. I don't see how that relates to trash, though.</p>\n",

27258 | 1 | null | 2011-02-20T13:26:00.393 | 3 | 17173 | <p>I've posted this question up on #Ubuntu and #Firefox Forums, and really could do with some help.. Anyone know where i could look or help with the answer. I'm hoping the power of social media will come through…
I have a need to perform the following action:</p>
<p>Firefox 3.6.x: </p>
<p>Quote:</p>
<p>open Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Encryption -> View Certificates -> Your Certificates -> Import
However i need the same functionality from the bash command line.</p>
<p>So far I've established that the following command is supposed to be used:</p>
<pre><code>certutil -A -t “u,u,u” -d /home/df001/.mozilla/firefox/qe5y5lht.tc.default/ -n “mycert” -i client.p12
</code></pre>
<p>This executes with no isses, however, doesn't show up in any Firefox Certificate store.</p>
<p>However, I have noted that prior to running this command, i have a cert8.db key3.db and secmod.db file in the above folder. After running the command the certutil seems to have created a cert9.db, key4.db and pkcs12.txt file</p>
<p>Listing the contents using the command:</p>
<pre><code>certutil -L -d sql:/home/df001/.mozilla/firefox/qe5y5lht.tc.default/
</code></pre>
<p>does seem to confirm my attempts of importing files into a certificate folder of some kind have worked. because i get</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Certificate Nickname Trust Attributes
SSL,S/MIME,JAR/XPI</p>
<p>Thawte SSL CA „ Go Daddy Secure
Certification Authority „ Thawte SGC
CA „ Entrust Certification Authority
- L1C „ My Nero CT,C,c mynero P„ davidfield - Internet Widgits Pty Ltd
u,u,u</p>
</blockquote>
<p>So, having tried this, and heading back over to the internet, I came across this command:</p>
<pre><code>pk12util -d /home/df001/.mozilla/firefox/qe5y5lht.tc.default/ -i client.p12 -n “David Field” -P “cert8.db”
</code></pre>
<p>this again, appears to be importing something somewhere, however, again, Viewing certs from the Firefox interface doesn't show the imported Cert.</p>
<p>I'm surmising here on reading that the certutil and pk12util are creating a new NSS database, which Firefox isn't reading. </p>
<p>So my question is, how can i get the p12 cert from the command line so it displays in the Firefox Certificate manager interface?</p>
<p>Why have i posted this here? Why not post on the Firefox forum? Well i will copy and post the same question there as well, however the ability to use the command line to do this is important, as I have potentially 2000 machines which will need a user cert imported into Firefox via a p12 file. I need to do this in the form of a script, i thought the hard part was going to be making the p12 file from the Microsoft 2003 CA, turns out thats easy. </p>
<p>I can't just import via the GUI and copy over cert8.db x 2000, i can't ask users to use the CA web interface as its for VPN access, the users are off site, and they need the VPN to get to the cert server..</p>
<p>Is there any person out there who can help?</p>
<p>By the way, i don't have the tor button installed.</p>

<p>Both of them have read/write NTFS partitions mounted via /etc/fstab. And it works fine.</p>
<p>Ive read on net, google, forums, and several posts here, that NTFS-3G is the driver that allows you to have full access to an NTFS partition, that it is new, great, powerful, yada-yada. </p>
<p>But... my entries use plain <code>ntfs</code>, no mention of -3g, and they still work perfectly as read and write. Am I already using ntfs-3g? Does 10.04 onwards use it "under the hood"? How can i check that in my system?</p>
<p>Should my /etc/fstab entries should use "ntfs-3g" as the fs? Why some posts refer to <code>mount ntfs</code>, while others say <code>mount ntfs-3g</code> ?</p>
<p>Im really confused about where should I use fs-type names (ntfs) or driver names (ntfs-3g?). </p>
<p>Or is it irrelevant now, and ntfs is always an "alias" or something for ntfs-3g nowadays?</p>
<p>Ive read some posts her, from Oct-10 and Nov-10 e that "announce" that ntfs-3g "finally arrived"... thats way post-Lucid 10.04.</p>
<p>Could someone please undo this mess in my head, and explain the relation between ntfs and ntfs-3g, what is the current status (10.04 and 10.10), where should i use each, etc (regarding mount, fstab, etc)?</p>

I frequently use the aforementioned keys, however those keys are only available when the numpad is disabled - there is no dedicated keys for those function on my laptop. I was thinking of using the <kbd>Fn</kbd> key to trigger them even when the numpad is enabled.</p>

<p>I did research.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>TestDisk</code> can undelete files on <code>FAT</code> and <code>NTFS</code>, but not on <code>EXT4</code>.</li>
<li><code>PhotoRec</code> does not support .ogv recovering.</li>
<li><code>Foremost</code> also does not support .ogv</li>
</ul>
<p>More info:</p>
<p>The file is located at: <code>/home/gasper/Video/Webcam/2011-02-02-181200.ogv</code></p>

<li>For pdf: How can I create outlines/bookmarks
for and merge them into pdf files in
either terminal or in GUI application in Ubuntu?</li>
<li>For djvu: I know how to do the same thing for
djvu files in terminal using
djvused. I was wondering if there is
some gui based application that can
create bookmarks/outlines for djvu
files more quickly?</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks and regards!</p>

27320 | 1 | 27357 | 2011-02-20T22:39:45.437 | 3 | 3224 | <p>I've tried every single possible way of installing the server now, I've read every how to available and I still can't get it to work. Please let me know in which step I do wrong. I'm using ubuntu 10.10. I will mainly be referring to the following <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/7930/how-can-i-install-freenx-server">how-to</a>, but also <a href="http://forums.techarena.in/guides-tutorials/1392442.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a>, and <a href="http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this one</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li>First I add the ppa</li>
<li>Install Freenx</li>
<li>Download the special Freenx package as stated in the howto, fix ownership - install it</li>
<li>Create custom SSH key</li>
<li>Copy the file /var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh/client.id_dsa.key to the client and import it in nomachine (windows 7 x64)</li>
<li>Check that both the user I will be logging in with and the user nx is in AllowedUsers in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file</li>
<li>Check the port that ssh is listening on</li>
<li>Login through nomachine with my regular user account in ubuntu</li>
</ul>
<p>I always receive the message "authentication failed for [user]" when I try to log in. And I can't see the user "nx" which is said to be created during installation when I look under System->Administration->"Users & Groups". Can anyone please enlighten me if there is any step that I miss or have misunderstood? </p>
<p>Thank you very much!</p>
<p>(Or is there an easier way of enabling remote desktop that it can be used with a windows machine? I prefer not using VNC because I was hoping of being able to get better performance than that. And when I tried using XRDP I only received a black screen on the client.)</p>

27333 | 1 | 27335 | 2011-02-21T02:43:12.323 | 1 | 1168 | <p>I have been desperately trying to get my creative x-fi soundcard to work with my 10.10 install and I am almost there! I have 1 speaker working and when I open volume control I see that my device is Creative X-Fi (Also mixer). </p>
<p>However, it appears to be stuck on mono. When I open <code>pavucontrol</code> I get a message that says <code>Connection failed: Connection refused</code> and it exits. Before it closes I can see that playback is set to mono but it won't let me change before it closes.</p>
<p>Can someone help me over this last hump? I am running 32 bit 10.10 any advice is much appreciated. </p>

<p>I would prefer just to have it zip the files so they have a .zip extension but even then when i try to browse it's contents both windows and winrar claim it's corrupt.</p>

May you have an eSATA, USB 3.0 or FireWire port you could use to (\\w the appropriate adapter).</p>\n\n<p>When you (re)install your Win7 successfully on the new drive (which is not a good thing in general. Just kidding.) you have to pay attention to the partitioning. The Win7 should only use a part (eg. 180 GB) of your drive and NOT the entire HDD. (If its not possible to set this within the Windows installer you can resize/shrink the partition afterwards via gparted on a live CD/DVD.)</p>\n\n<p>After you have your Win7 in place, use one of these Ubuntu live CDs/DVDs with both your old and your new drive connected to your computer.</p>\n\n<p>Use gparted to set up a partition on your new drive which has exactly the same size as you old Ubuntu partition.</p>\n\n<p>With a simple dd you can then move over the data to your new partition:</p>\n\n<pre><code>dd if=/dev/sda3 of=/dev/sdb3\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>(Of course you have to change the partition names according to your setup.)</p>\n\n<p>After you did this you can resize the partition with gparted to fit your needs.\n(Of course you can do this with your data partition as well.)</p>\n\n<p><strong>Solution 2:</strong></p>\n\n<p>Its super simple if you just move over the entire disk to the new drive at once. (I don't know if this causes any problems on the Windows side, but it shouldn't.)\nJust connect both drives to your computer and run:</p>\n\n<pre><code>dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>(Check device names!)</p>\n\n<p>ATTENTION: This process can take for ever. But it works. Do NOT interrupt it. (Google to find out how to check the state of dd.)</p>\n\n<p>After the move is done you can use gparted to resize the partitions to your needs.</p>\n\n<p><strong>MBR:</strong></p>\n\n<p>If you use the second solution the MBR should be copied automatically. If you want to save it anyhow you can do this via:</p>\n\n<pre><code>dd if=/dev/sda of=MBR bs=446 count=1\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>(This saves the MBR into a file called \"MBR\".)</p>\n\n<p>If you then run this you could 're-apply' the MBR to your new drive afterwards.</p>\n\n<pre><code>dd if=MBR of=/dev/sda bs=446 count=1\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>I hope this helps you somehow. It really sounds more complicated than it actually is. Hit me up if you need more help or have problems.</p>\n\n<p>(Device and partition names (like '/dev/sda/') may change according to your setup.)</p>\n",

1010 Card. The card is recogniced nicely and a can record a single
channel via arecord -d 10 -f cd -t wav -D channel1 out2.wav. I've set
up the different channels in ~/.asoundrc.</p>
<p>Now if I want to record a second channel in parallel (arecord -d 10 -f
cd -t wav -D channel2 out2.wav) I get the error</p>
<p>arecord: main:564: audio open error: Device or resource busy</p>
<p>As I understand the delta 1010 is a single Access Card, so only one
application can access it at a time. Is this correct?</p>
<p>The next step was to configure a dual channel input in .asoundrc</p>
<pre><code># envy24 channel 1+2 only
pcm.test {
type plug
ttable.0.0 1
ttable.0.1 1
slave.pcm ice1712
}
</code></pre>
<p>Which works ok when I do a</p>
<pre><code>arecord -d 10 -f cd -t wav -D test -c 2 out.wav
</code></pre>
<p>(BTW can anyone point me to a tool to split a multi channel wav into a
file per channel?)</p>
<p>But when I want to record the channels separately with (-I option)</p>
<pre><code>arecord -d 10 -f cd -t wav -D test -c 2 -I channel1.wav channel2.wav
</code></pre>
<p>I get no recordings.</p>
<p>Did I miss something with the configuration or what are my options to
record all 8 channels via arecord.</p>
<p>I've no experience with jackd. Is it an option to install jackd and
record the line ins via jackd?</p>
