I suppose this makes Ubuntu memorize (save a list on some place in disk) all currently running applications and when you reboot your computer, the OS starts with everything in that list.</p>
<p>Now I want to get rid of it. Of course I can close all applications which I do not want to start in startup, and click <em>Remember currently running Applications</em> again, but this doesn't seem to work as expected. For example, Yakuake opens differently if I do that.</p>

28132 | 1 | 28154 | 2011-02-26T06:16:17.090 | 25 | 69666 | <p>I thought running <code>apt-get autoremove</code> without any following argument removes all unused dependencies left on the system, while running <code>apt-get autoremove xxx</code> removes xxx and its unused dependencies.</p>
<p>However I discovered otherwise. Running <code>apt-get autoremove xxx</code> not only removes xxx and its unused dependencies, it also removes all other unused dependencies.</p>
<p>I then tried running <code>apt-get remove --auto-remove xxx</code>, thinking that this would remove only xxx and its unused dependencies. To my surprise, this also removed xxx, its unused dependencies, and all other unused dependencies.</p>
<p>This leads me to two related questions.</p>
<p>(1) Is this the intended behaviour of the commands?</p>
<p>(2) Is there an easy way to remove xxx and its unused dependencies without removing other unused dependencies?</p>
<p>(It appears that <code>aptitude remove</code> also behaves in a similar way.)</p>

<p>Hi, </p>
<p>is there a snapshot software for Ubuntu? Something like SnagIt?</p>
<p>The idea is many times I have to take the snapshot and edit the image to crop to my region of interest, SnagIt does that automatically and very nicely.</p>
<p>Another feature is to take a snapshot of text (that can't be otherwise copied - like text in a photo) and then parse it into actual text document using an OCR technology.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

I'm trying to install an application that I need onto it (my old computer is broken and I have to send it for service). I've managed to install texlive, but then I can't install anything else. All of the software I want installed is the same software that I had successfully installed on my old computer previously (using the same version of Ubuntu). I don't understand why the terminal gives this warning (sorry, the terminal speaks half English, half Polish, but I hope it's enough): </p>

<p>I was trying to install other editors as well, with the same result. As I decided that I might be sure that I know the package I want to install is secure, I finally entered "Yes". The installation ended successfully, but the editor doesn't understand .tex files (and the .tex files themselves are known to be good):</p>

<p>What's more, I've realised that in Synaptic Manager there aren't any packages which are marked as supported by Canonical....</p>

28198 | 1 | 28199 | 2011-02-26T15:36:20.210 | 2 | 4079 | <p>I want NetworkManager to automatically connect to the wireless network. I've configured my account to automatically log in (using <code>System > Administration > Login Window</code>) and I get prompted to unlock my GNOME keyring.</p>
<p>From researching this, it would appear that I should be able to disable the security on the keyring by blanking the password. However, if I change the password of the default keyring to blank so that it uses "Unsafe Storage" and automatically log in, I am prompted with a "Wireless Network Authentication Required" request. The password field is already filled in but does not seem to have been used.</p>
<p>So how do I convince NetworkManager and the GNOME Keyring to work without requiring me to log in with a password, or to enter my keyring password?</p>

This is a VMWare workstation image provided by another company that I do not have support in this regard. I am trying to access the graphical tools for configuring the network, users, and services but the System->Administration menu does not have these options listed. </p>
<p>The main issue I am trying to solve is to correct the problems with the GNOME menu options and network settings.</p>
<p>I have the <code>gnome-system-tools</code> package installed, and I am unable to run command-line versions of the tools, such as <code>nm-applet</code> (I get no GUI if I run that command, the process is running in the background).</p>
<p>I realize that I can perform many tasks command-line, but I would like to use the GUI for administrative functions as I am not overly proficient for all command for restarting services and setting a static IP with a specific gateway.</p>
<p>Further, I can run <code>gnome-nettool</code>, but I cannot change the IP, I can only see my network card. <code>nm-connection-editor</code> does not show any network cards that I can configure to change the IP.</p>
<p>Currently, I am getting a DHCP through my NAT in VMWare, I want to set it to a specific IP address though.</p>

Because of the automatic\nimport, this is no longer necessary (but code that does it still\nworks).\n\nThis will append site-specific paths to the module search path. On\nUnix (including Mac OSX), it starts with sys.prefix and\nsys.exec_prefix (if different) and appends\nlib/python<version>/site-packages as well as lib/site-python.\nOn other platforms (such as Windows), it tries each of the\nprefixes directly, as well as with lib/site-packages appended. The\nresulting directories, if they exist, are appended to sys.path, and\nalso inspected for path configuration files.\n\nFor Debian and derivatives, this sys.path is augmented with directories\nfor packages distributed within the distribution. Local addons go\ninto /usr/local/lib/python<version>/dist-packages,\nDebian addons\ninstall into /usr/{lib,share}/python<version>/dist-packages.\n/usr/lib/python<version>/site-packages\nis not used.\n\nA path configuration file is a file whose name has the form\n<package>.pth; its contents are additional directories (one per line)\nto be added to sys.path. Non-existing directories (or\nnon-directories) are never added to sys.path; no directory is added to\nsys.path more than once. Blank lines and lines beginning with\n'#' are skipped. Lines starting with 'import' are executed.\n\nFor example, suppose sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix are set to\n/usr/local and there is a directory\n/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages\nwith three subdirectories, foo, bar and spam, and two path\nconfiguration files, foo.pth and bar.pth. Assume foo.pth contains the\nfollowing:\n\n # foo package configuration\n foo\n bar\n bletch\n\nand bar.pth contains:\n\n # bar package configuration\n bar\n\nThen the following directories are added to sys.path, in this order:\n\n /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bar\n /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/foo\n\nNote that bletch is omitted because it doesn't exist; bar precedes\nfoo\nbecause bar.pth comes alphabetically before foo.pth; and\nspam is\nomitted because it is not mentioned in either path configuration\nfile.\n\nAfter these path manipulations, an attempt is made to import a module\nnamed sitecustomize, which can perform arbitrary additional\nsite-specific customizations. If this import fails with an\nImportError exception, it is silently ignored.\n</code></pre>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>References:<br>\n<a href=\"http://docs.python.org/install/index.html#search-path\">python.org docs, v2.7 search path</a><br>\n<a href=\"http://docs.python.org/py3k/install/index.html#search-path\">python.org docs, v3 search path</a><br>\n<a href=\"http://djangotricks.blogspot.com/2008/09/note-on-python-paths.html\">Djangotricks blog, a note on python paths</a><br>\n<a href=\"http://martinjansen.com/2008/10/20/django-settings-files-for-development-and-production/\">Martin Jansen : Django settings files for development and production</a></p>\n",

<p>I've gotten everything to work under Ubuntu except for hibernation. The system hibernates normally but when Ubuntu tries to boot from the hibernation file, it freezes.</p>
<p>I tried with the 2.6.35 kernel and the newer 2.6.36 (which solved my eating-battery problems), but this issue persists.</p>
<p>How could I troubleshoot this issue?</p>
<p>EDIT:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>My Ubuntu install is in a separate
partition alongside Windows 7. </p>
<p>I've tried a BIOS update today, and
the problem still persists.</p>
<p>My swap partition is bigger than my installed Ram (2,3GB vs 2,0 GB)</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Suspend as a sleep method works, but I really need my hibernation option.</p>

I would like my guest to have access to Internet, text editor and other application installed on my computer without having access to my data (and obviously system settings).</p>
<p>I have added a user "guest" using graphic interface (<code>System -> Administration -> Users and groups</code>). My guest has now access to the application, but not full - wine and VirtualBox are empty (wine has only wine notepad, on VirtualBox there is no virtual machine installed). Internet and chat are fine, but "guest" has the access to anything in the computer via terminal, and I would like to keep him in his guests <code>home</code> (there are a lot of people using my computer, not all of them I know well).</p>
<p>I have found on <a href="http://www.ubuntu.pl/">http://www.ubuntu.pl/</a> how to change user's privileges via terminal and I'm wondering if the command <code>chmod -vR --preserve-root 700 /home/maria</code>
is fine?</p>
<p><code>/home</code> has two directories: <code>guest</code> and <code>maria</code>.</p>
<p>And how to ensure for my guest the access to applications installed on wine and VirtualBox without installing it once again?</p>
<p>This is an output for guests <code>groups</code>:</p>
<pre><code>guest@marysia-ubuntu:~$ groups
guest adm dialout fax cdrom floppy tape dip video plugdev fuse nopasswdlogin

maria@marysia-ubuntu:~$
</code></pre>
<p>I've used <code>sudo apt-get autoclean</code> without any change. I've installed <code>deborphan</code> and it showed nothing (maybe I've used it in wrong way: just entered command <code>deborphan</code>). Am I doing something wrong or I was told something which is not true?</p>
<p>I would like to know two things: how to remove packages (if I'm doing it in wrong way) and how to clean hard disc from remains of all packages I've uninstalled till now (even if I don't remember what it was exactly). I have Ubuntu Tweak installed but I don't know how to use it and I think I prefere terminal commnands.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

This should uninstall any dependencies, but won't full remove them. I use the command <code>aptitude purge ~c</code> to `.clean all uninstalled packages. </p>\n\n<p>Even purged packages may leave behind data files and backup files. Backups should be a directory under in <code>/var/backup</code>. Data files will likely be in <code>/var/lib</code>. I would backup the data files before removing them in case some other application uses them. You may want to grep the data file directory in <code>/var/lib/dpkg/info</code>. If any files use the directory, then keep it. For example to find which packages installed use <code>/var/lib/ldap</code>, I run the search <code>grep -l /var/lib/ldap /var/lib/info/dpkg/*</code>. If you have a lots off packages you may need to use <code>find /var/lib/dpkg/info | xargs grep -l /var/lib/ldap</code>.</p>\n\n<p>EDIT: You can list all programs which could be marked as automatically installed with the command <code>aptitude search '~i!~M?for x: ~D( ~i!~M )'</code>. Pipe this to the commands 'cut -d\\ -f4 | sudo aptitude markauto` to mark these packages as auto-installed.</p>\n\n<p>I then use the command <code>aptitude search '~i!~M'</code> (installed, not automatically installed) to list all the first order installed packages. WARNING: When removing packages, you may uninstall packages you want to keep. Simulate the removal first, and unmarkauto any packages you want to keep before run the real removal.</p>\n\n<p>EDIT2: Above instructions includes packages suggested by other packages as first level packages. To list these use the command <code>aptitude search '~i!~M?for x: ~Rsuggests:( ~i!~M )'</code>. If desired, these can be marked using the same pipeline as for other dependencies. However, you must configure suggested packages to be automatically installed, or all the suggested packages and their depencies will be automatically uninstalled. This is done by adding the line <code>APT::Install-Suggests \"true\";</code> to <code>/etc/apt/apt.conf</code> or a file in <code>/etc/apt/apt.conf.d</code>.</p>\n\n<p>Dependencies may lead to unexpected selections for first level packages. If neither <code>wordpress</code> is marked <code>wordpress-l10n</code> then <code>wordpress-l10n</code> is considered the first level install. Normally <code>wordpress-l10n</code> would be marked as automatically installed, so this would not be a problem. You will likely get a lot of cruft this way.</p>\n",

<p>Two flagged lines in my script are as follows:</p>
<pre><code>declare -a RESPONSE
RESPONSE=($RESULT)
</code></pre>
<p>It also says <code>(</code> is unexpected but I guess that is coming up because of the first error.
Worth mentioning point is when I type in declare directly works fine.</p>
<p><code>declare | grep USER</code> shows</p>
<pre><code>USER=ashfame
USERNAME=ashfame
values="$SVN_BASH_USERNAME";
</code></pre>
<p>So, whats wrong here?</p>

<p>If I get within a couple of metres of the access point, I still see that output in dmesg, but the connection stabilises.</p>
<p>My question is threefold: how do I get better wifi range, what can/should I do about those messages in dmesg, and most crucially, are the two related?</p>
<p>As ever let me know if there's other information that would help!</p>
<p><strong>Edit</strong>: I am using this machine in exactly the same locations I used my previous Thinkpad (T61) running various older versions of Ubuntu, so I definitely feel there is something wrong, rather me having unreasonable expectations of range!</p>

<p>I am following the steps given in this link <a href="http://www.howtoforge.com/setting-up-a-pxe-install-server-on-ubuntu-9.10" rel="nofollow">installation using PXE BOOT</a></p>
<ol>
<li>the server will have a KICKSTART
config file which contains the
parameters for the OS installation
and the files which are required for
the OS installations.</li>
<li>the client will have to detect this
configuration along with the setup
files and complete the installation
without any input from the user.</li>
</ol>
<p>In my server I have installed DHCP3-server,Apache2 and TFTP to help me with the installation.</p>
<p>I have nearly achieved my first objective, I am able to boot my client using the files stored in the server but during the installation stage it is asking me to </p>
<p><code>CHOOSE A MIRROR OF UBUNTU ARCHIVE</code></p>
<p>I gave the server's IP address and the path in the server where the files are located but then its giving me this error </p>
<p><code>BAD ARCHIVE MIRROR</code></p>
<ul>
<li>So is it possible that instead of
downloading all the files from the
internet and storing them on my disk
can I use the files which comes with
the UBUNTU-CD, and how to store these
files in what format (should I zip
them) on the disk?</li>
<li>secondly I am also generating the
ks.cfg which I wanted to give to the
client for automatic installation of
the OS. So how should the
configuration file be given to the
installation process?</li>
</ul>

As far as I know <code>w3m</code> is for visiting web site from the console. That is why I am writing following command in the <code>crontab -e</code>. </p>
<pre><code>@reboot w3m http://example.com/ > test_file
</code></pre>
<p>The reason for writing content of the web site into a <code>test_file</code> is just to know whether this command has been executed or no. Unfortunately it is not executing every time Ubuntu loads. But next command which comes after it and looks like this: <code>@reboot date >> reboot_file</code> is being executed every time. </p>
<p>What is wrong with my command? When I execute it in the console it outputs the content of the <code>example.com</code> into <code>test_file</code>. </p>
<p>Is there any other options to do that?</p>

28393 | 1 | 28469 | 2011-02-28T04:31:17.123 | 1 | 2681 | <p>I have started running <a href="http://rkhunter.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">rkhunter</a> (a security monitoring tool) and I have finally managed to clear all of its warnings.</p>
<p>Now, a cron job runs every day to monitor my machine. Rather than send me an email of warnings, it sends me an email with no body - which I don't really want.</p>
<p>Looking at the (unedited, straight out of the box) <code>/etc/cron.daily/rkhunter</code> script, it contains this snippet of shell code:</p>
<pre><code> if [ -s "$OUTFILE" ]; then
(
echo "Subject: [rkhunter] $(hostname -f) - Daily report"
echo "To: $REPORT_EMAIL"
echo ""
cat $OUTFILE
) | /usr/sbin/sendmail $REPORT_EMAIL
fi
</code></pre>
<p>The <code>-s</code> clause should prevent empty emails from being sent, right? Does anyone have an explanation why this would still send empty emails?</p>

28412 | 1 | 28413 | 2011-02-28T10:04:50.783 | 3 | 515 | <p>I totally ruined my Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop x64 installation today. I've never been able to hibernate or suspend (not with my laptop, server or htpc), not even through this <a href="http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Ubuntu_Suspend_/_Wake" rel="nofollow noreferrer">guide</a>. So I read a post here on askubuntu.com that said that the proprietary drivers may be in the way for it to work.</p>
<p>Therefore I removed my ATI-drivers, rebooted, then tried to hibernate the system. I got some error about "blk_something_something didn't work, resubmitting<a href="http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Ubuntu_Suspend_/_Wake" rel="nofollow noreferrer">1</a>". So I turned off the computer and then tried booting up. I see the ubuntu splash but after that I'm greeted with this screen:</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/rzhOE.jpg" alt="My computer screen after booted up"></p>
<p>The upper dot is the mouse pointer since I can move it with the mouse (I have ubuntu set to login automatically). I don't know how this happened.</p>
<p>What can I do to fix this? I'm getting seriously irritated over how buggy ubuntu is, why doesn't even suspend/hibernate work (remember that I have 3 different systems where it fails)?</p>
<p>So what is the next step? I want to get into cli mode and reinstall the driver but since I'm relatively new to ubuntu I don't know how to get into a terminal without logging in first. And if I press shift during boot I can't get into grub either and try something from there.</p>
<p>Please come with all suggestions you can think of!</p>
<p>Thank you very much!</p>
<p>edit: Can I use ubuntu on a usb to insert the driver I need - if that is the problem?</p>

<p>Since it's strapped to my head and I'm on a motorcycle on country roads, it bounces up and down a bit. Is there any application that will automatically 'remove' this bouncyness?</p>
<p>I'm thinking of an application that would offset each frame of the image and add black borders, so that the 'centre' of the video would be tried to be kept in the centre as much as possible.</p>
<p>I know it's not possible to remove <em>all</em> shakyness, and the video might look odd with all the black borders, but I'd like to check I'm not reinventing the wheel before I write this myself. Some google searching throws up some applications, are there any for ubuntu linux?</p>

28451 | 1 | 28454 | 2011-02-28T18:04:15.763 | 4 | 22855 | <p>After following the tutorial <a href="http://www.techienote.com/2010/10/file-sharing-in-ubuntu-with-nfs.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> I ran into a problem. Here is what I did. </p>
<p>On my server I installed <code>nfs-kernel-server</code> and edited the <code>/etc/exports</code> file to include the folder I want to share: </p>
<pre><code> /var *(rw,sync)
</code></pre>
<p>On my client machine I edited my <code>fstab</code> file to include share:</p>
<pre><code> //128.251.xxx.xxx/var/ ~/uslonsweb003 nfs #username=[username],password=[password], 0 0
</code></pre>
<p>Entered command:</p>
<pre><code> sudo mount -a
</code></pre>
<p>which gives this error:</p>
<pre><code> mount.nfs: remote share not in 'host:dir' format
</code></pre>
<p>Where did I go wrong with this setup?</p>
<p>Also if there is a better way (using command line) to setup a folder share on an Ubuntu 10.10 server that will be accessed by other linux and windows machines please let me know.</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE:</strong><br>
The mapped drive is now not letting me create,edit,delete files or folders (readonly access)
my configuration is as follows:</p>
<p>client fstab file:</p>
<pre><code> 128.251.xxx.xxx:/var /home/coreyf/uslonsweb003 nfs rw,hard,intr, 0 0
</code></pre>
<p>server exports file:</p>
<pre><code> /var *(rw,no_root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check)
</code></pre>
<p><strong>UPDATE 2:</strong></p>
<p>Using Allans solution my drive mounted correctly however after putting <code>rw,intr</code> as my additional parameters I cannot create, edit and delete folders/files.</p>
