29099 | 1 | 29131 | 2011-03-05T10:46:06.080 | 7 | 1469 | <p>So, it'm about to buy a fresh videocard. Since I do most of my stuff on Linux, I wonder how well will either videocard perform. I recently had a good experience with GeForce 6600 with proprietary drivers and a less than satisfactory experience with Radeon 9000 a while ago. From my experience, proprietary drivers for GeForce used to work very well, while proprietary drivers for Radeon failed miserably. And opensource drivers were sloooow.</p>
<p>A few months ago I found out that ATI opened their specifications, and a work on fully featured opensource driver is in progress. I prefer to use free software whenever possible, with the exception of games, so, if that driver is fast enough, feature-rich enough and reliable enough I'd very much like to try it out. I wish I could say that if I can just to basic things, like watch video, heavily use compiz and work with simple applications, this may be enough. I do most of my gaming under Windows anyway. However, there is a good chance I'll go into indie game development in a few months fulltime, so it should also be able to run not-so-very-demanding games (say Nexuiz).</p>
<p>But if it isn't, I'd like to know, what to expect from proprietary drivers. Do recent proprietary drivers from NVIDIA and ATI work well? Are ATI drivers just as easy to install on Ubuntu as are NVIDIA drivers?</p>

However with ATI opening up, expect much more work on the XvBA. So what i will recommend is that unless you watch a lot of HD movies. Go for Radeon.

The noveau, radeon and Gallium3d drivers are all fine if all you want to do is compiz and maybe a few indie games. But all the open source solutions ( be it mesa, gallium or anything else) are still miles behind their proprietary counterparts. Right now the best performing Open Driver is the Gallium3D driver for the R600 ATI Chip ( Radeon hd 3xxx series), but its still not mature enough.

(Linux pcs 2.6.35-22-server #35-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 22:02:33 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux)<br>
I want this guest to access an LVM LV on the Ubuntu disk.</p>
<p>I've setup the following LVM config:<br>
--- Logical volume --- </p>
<pre><code> LV Name /dev/storage/sdc1
VG Name storage
LV UUID Zg5IMC-OlqB-prL5-fgg4-3A9A-OgKP-oZ0QkJ
LV Write Access read/write
LV Status available
# open 0
LV Size 1.01 GiB
Current LE 259
Segments 1
Allocation inherit
Read ahead sectors auto
- currently set to 256
Block device 251:3
</code></pre>
<p>-- </p>
<p>1) I've setup a storage pool for /dev/storage<br>
2) I've mkfs.vfat /dev/storage/sdc1<br>
3) and made a virtual IDE disk in the virt-manager setup for the guest.<br>
Target device: IDE Disk 2<br>
Source path: /dev/storage/sdc1 </p>
<p>-- </p>
<p>Now when running XP (guest) Windows sees a new disk in Disk Manager and want's to install a partition on it, since it believes the drive is empty.<br>
After formatting from within Windows I can put data on the new disk volume. </p>
<p>--<br>
Back in Ubuntu however I cannot access this this any more since it created a partition within an LVM Logical Volume. </p>
<p>Running fdisk -l shows the following: </p>
<pre><code>root@pcs:/media# fdisk -l /dev/storage/sdc1
Disk /dev/storage/sdc1: 1086 MB, 1086324736 bytes
32 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1052 cylinders

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/storage/sdc1p1 1 1050 1058368+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
</code></pre>
<p>--<br>
which seems fine to me, but when trying to mount /dev/storage/sdc1p1 I get the following error: </p>
<pre><code>mount /dev/storage/sdc1p1 /media/xp
mount: special device /dev/storage/sdc1p1 does not exist
</code></pre>
<p>which makes sense since in lvdisplay sdc1p1 does not exist </p>
<p>Main question:<br>
I want to mount the vfat partition in both Ubuntu and XP<br>
What am I missing here????? </p>
<p>regards, and thanks for your consideration. </p>

29106 | 1 | null | 2011-03-05T11:49:46.940 | 2 | 4935 | <p>I have an issue with the Youtube Player within Ubuntu. It seems that when playing videos, they are in black and white, no matter whether they are normal resolution or HD.</p>
<p>I kind of figured out how to prevent this from happening by deleting the cookie <code>PREF</code> that holds a KV Pair like this:</p>
<pre><code>PREF f1=50000000&fv=10.2.154 .youtube.com / Sat, 12 Mar 2011 11:38:29 GMT
</code></pre>
<p>The issue is the Flash Version key. When I delete this, the color comes back, but obviously when I navigate to another page the cookie is set again.</p>
<p>Does anyone know why this issue occurs and what a possible fix is?</p>
<p>I'm using the latest Google Chrome on the latest version of Ubuntu (Installed 3 days ago)
.<br>
Thanks.</p>

Basically what I am looking for is the standard Desktop Ubuntu install, but with out all the word processing, multimedia, and games installed.</p>
<p>I have seen posts out about how to get the desktop environment running on Ubuntu server, but they seem complicated, and never seem to equal the standard Desktop install.</p>
<p>So my question is, is there anyway to tell the standard Desktop install not to install all the applications? Or is there a distro available that leaves all the applications out, and just has the standard desktop look and feel?</p>
<p>What I really want this for is, is for development purposes to run on a VM to do Mono development. </p>

29121 | 1 | 29819 | 2011-03-05T15:13:43.973 | 9 | 6610 | <p>I've tried reading through guides for <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/amd64/appendix-preseed.html" rel="nofollow">preseeding</a> and <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization" rel="nofollow">customization</a>, but I did not understand how and where to modify which options. I can only comfortably learn through practical examples, for which I ask this question.</p>
<p>I am looking into preseeding and customizing solution to just do a few specific tasks:</p>
<ul>
<li>Completely rewrite the packages installed by default, much like minimal installs and with the <code>--no-install-recommends</code> flag of <code>apt-get</code>.</li>
<li>Add a few proprietary applications to the default install list</li>
<li>Automatically install and mount proprietary drivers on install and live session</li>
<li>Edit the default configuration files for applications installed by default</li>
<li>Specify partitions along with permission</li>
<li>Modify the package pool in the installer media (CD/DVD/USB), preferably using command line tools similar to <code>apt-get</code> and <code>aptitude</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>Can anyone please tell me how to configure preseed option to only do the above?</p>
<p><strong>NB</strong> I do not understand the GPG part after adding/removing packages in the pool.</p>
<p><strong>PS</strong> The third point is of particular importance.</p>

*** GD, PNG, and/or JPEG libraries could not be located... *********
Boutell's GD library is required to compile the statusmap, trends
and histogram CGIs. Get it from http://www.boutell.com/gd/, compile
it, and use the --with-gd-lib and --with-gd-inc arguments to specify
the locations of the GD library and include files.
NOTE: In addition to the gd-devel library, you'll also need to make
sure you have the png-devel and jpeg-devel libraries installed
on your system.
NOTE: After you install the necessary libraries on your system:
1. Make sure /etc/ld.so.conf has an entry for the directory in
which the GD, PNG, and JPEG libraries are installed.
2. Run 'ldconfig' to update the run-time linker options.
3. Run 'make clean' in the Nagios distribution to clean out
any old references to your previous compile.
4. Rerun the configure script.
NOTE: If you can't get the configure script to recognize the GD libs
on your system, get over it and move on to other things. The
CGIs that use the GD libs are just a small part of the entire
Nagios package. Get everything else working first and then
revisit the problem. Make sure to check the nagios-users
mailing list archives for possible solutions to GD library
problems when you resume your troubleshooting.

<p>After booting, sometimes Ubuntu 10.10 does not detect the eth0 card properly or does not connect to the modem. </p>
<p>I have made the following observations: </p>
<ol>
<li>My modem is fully on. All indicators are on except ethernet, which is blinking continuously. </li>
<li>My network indicator applet informs me that I am connected to modem, but I am not able to browse as it has not established connection with modem. </li>
<li>I need to power off and on (restart) the modem several times OR disconnect/connect (via network applet) several times, before the system can establish a connection with the modem.</li>
<li>Once it establishes the connection, the ethernet LED (on modem) stops blinking and glows continuously. </li>
</ol>
<p>However, I do not see this problem every time I reboot or start my computer. 3/5 time, it connects to the modem in a single attempt.</p>
<p>Friends, I am not able to understand root cause of this problem. Plus I do not know what kind of logs should be attached. If you want any logs please give me command to run, and I will paste the result for you.</p>
<p>Note: I ran system testing when above problem happened. Follow this link to <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/ameyjah/result.zip?attredirects=0&d=1" rel="nofollow">download result</a>.</p>

<p>Can we upgrade a previous version of ubuntu to the latest version <strong>without losing data</strong> ? (For example, will I be able to upgrade the 10.10 version to 11.04, which is due to be released in April of 2011?) I mean, there is a new version coming out every 6 months, so it will be convenient if we are able to upgrade without losing on the data . </p>

I followed <a href="http://fosswire.com/post/2008/03/migrate-your-thunderbird-emails-from-windows-to-linux/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">these instructions</a> to move my Thunderbird emails over. The emails that I moved show up, but when I try to check for new emails I get this message:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server pop.windstream.net responded:</p>
<p>[IN-USE] account is locked by another session or for maintenance, try again.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I click OK and another box pops up saying:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Login to server pop.windstream.net failed.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>With 3 options:</p>
<ul>
<li>"Enter new password" (I'm <strong>SURE</strong> the one I'm typing is correct)</li>
<li>"Cancel"</li>
<li>"Retry"</li>
</ul>
<p>I've tried all 3. Retyping my password, clicking "Retry", same result.</p>

<p>but the question was never resolved. I spent so long researching and got so frustrated that I took my computer down to a shop and asked them to install it for me. It took them a while but they managed to get it installed. The reason for this error they had said was because Ubuntu didn't have the USB 3.0 drivers it needed to install properly.</p>
<p>I'm reinstalling Ubuntu yet again and I've run into the same issue so my question is: does anyone know.. a) Where to get these USB 3.0 drivers? b) How to get them installed when installing the Ubuntu OS?</p>

<p>When I use it with my Windows machine, I can connect to the VPN and access sites on the VPN, and the internet as normal. When I use it on my Ubuntu box, when connected to the VPN, I can only access internal sites - No internet access at all.</p>
<p>I'm sure there is a way to configure OpenVPN on Ubuntu to allow internet connections, but I can't figure out how.</p>

<p>I'm trying to set up Evolution to use this account, using exchange-connector-setup-2.32. The first step, entering the OWA URL, usename and password works, and progresses to step 2, where I need to enter a Global Catalog server. I have no idea what to enter here. Everything fails.</p>
<p>My questions are
- What is the "Global Catalog server" - can I enter/run some dummy server here?
- If its necessary, where can I get the information from this? I have a Windows XP machine synced up using Outlook 2007, so if I need to gather any information from that setup I can.</p>

It works as a basic mouse (point and click) but had no functionality for edge scrolling or any of the multitouch settings the trackpad is capable of. </p>
<p>I discovered the reason is a known issue where the Ubuntu kernel will improperly detect an Elantech trackpad as a logitech PS/2 wheel mouse, and as such will gain none of the functionality that seems to be coded for synaptics trackpads.</p>
<p>Is there any way to get this working properly? I would like basic scrolling/zooming/etc I've been used to using these features for as long as I can remember.</p>

Everything worked fine right up until I tried typing - apparently the left and right arrow keys on my keyboard are uncontrollable. Everything I type ends up looking messed up because the left and right keys keep automatically inserting themselves into everything I type.</p>
<p>This also happens when I click on, say, "File" on Firefox. It starts rotating between all the different menu options even though I'm not pressing anything on the keyboard.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any idea what's going on? Is this a problem with the keyboard itself?</p>

I needed Adobe Air but it was not availble via apt-get, so I downloaded it from Adobe and installed. Then I succesfully installed adobe air application. It started and works pretty good. However when I start synaptic it claims that I have broken package (it is my adobe air application with some numbers attached). It says that this application requires adobeair package which can't be found in repositories and thus it can't be installed. But I have it and it works.</p>
<p>Do you know any workaround? For example how to tell dpkg that I have adobeair installed, or how to remove my application from list of installed packages? I haven't installed it via dpkg or apt-get, but with adobe air installer, so I don't need it to be registred in dkpg</p>
<p>However I have adobeair package:</p>
<pre><code>dpkg --list |grep adobeair
ii adobeair 2.5.1.17730 Adobe AIR 2
</code></pre>
<p>And still apt-get says:</p>
<pre><code> someapp.a1909296681c7acefe45687d3a64758c8659bf46.1 : PreRequire: adobeair (>= 2.0.0.0) but it can't be installed
</code></pre>

<p>After that I want to add comment tags before this paragraph and after it.</p>

<p>I wrote this script bellow:</p>

sed -i "/$text/c $newparagraph" $search

<p>It's not working. Is there any way to just add comment symbol not replace the paragraph?</p>
<p>What I want to the script to do:</p>

<li>search for the paragraph</li>
<li>append
<li>append --> at the end</li>
</ol>

<p>Should I recompile entire natty? If so, then how?</p>

29253 | 1 | 29658 | 2011-03-06T14:04:15.717 | 11 | 31078 | <p>I am using Ubuntu 10.10 (<code>Linux pc07 2.6.35-27-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 22 20:25:46 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux</code>) and the default python package (Python 2.6.6).</p>
<p>I would like to install <code>python-psyco</code> to improve the performance of one of my scripts, but only <code>python-psyco-doc</code> is available for 64 bit.
I tried a virtual machine, but the the performance boost is much less on the virtual machine than on a "real" installed 32-bit Ubuntu.</p>
<p>So my question is: How can I install a 32Bit Python with psyco on my 64Bit Ubuntu machine?</p>
<p>edit: I've found <a href="http://blog.devork.be/2009/02/compiling-32-bit-python-on-amd64.html">this article</a> and made this:</p>
<ul>
<li>Download "Python 2.7.1 bzipped source tarball" from <a href="http://python.org/download/">http://python.org/download/</a></li>
<li>Go in the directory where you decompressed "Python 2.7.1"</li>
<li><code>OPT=-m32 LDFLAGS=-m32 ./configure --prefix=/opt/pym32</code></li>
<li><code>make</code></li>
</ul>
<p>But I got this error:</p>
<pre><code>gcc -pthread -m32 -Xlinker -export-dynamic -o python \
Modules/python.o \
libpython2.7.a -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm
libpython2.7.a(posixmodule.o): In function `posix_tmpnam':

</code></pre>
<p>edit2: Now I've found <a href="http://indefinitestudies.org/2010/02/08/how-to-build-32-bit-python-on-ubuntu-9-10-x86_64/">http://indefinitestudies.org/2010/02/08/how-to-build-32-bit-python-on-ubuntu-9-10-x86_64/</a> and it seems like this worked:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>cd Python-2.7.1</code></li>
<li><code>CC="gcc -m32" LDFLAGS="-L/lib32 -L/usr/lib32 \
-L</code>pwd<code>/lib32 -Wl,-rpath,/lib32 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib32" \
./configure --prefix=/opt/pym32</code></li>
<li><code>make</code></li>
<li><code>sudo make install</code></li>
</ul>
<p>But installing psyco didn't work:</p>
<ul>
<li>Download the lastest snapshot: <a href="http://psyco.sourceforge.net/download.html">http://psyco.sourceforge.net/download.html</a></li>
<li>Extract it and go into the folder</li>
<li>python setup.py install</li>
</ul>
<p>This error appeared:</p>
<pre><code>PROCESSOR = 'ivm'

</code></pre>
<p>Installing the package <code>python-dev</code> solved the problem, but I still could not use psyco. Now I've installed a 32Bit Ubuntu System.</p>

<p>Ubuntu 10.10
video: Nvidia 9500 gm i think</p>
<p>I can get dual screen upto and until the ubuntu login screen at which point it goes back into laptop display only. Then I can just type and enter my password. The system (i assume boots into ubuntu) but I got no way of going onto the x or nvidia settings to change my display to external monitor</p>
<p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
<p>well I booted into terminal using control shift F1 i think, and now I'm trying to reporgram x.org, but strangely it seems bland with not a lot of settings in it</p>
<p><strong>EDIT 2</strong>
xrandr returns "Can't open display"</p>
<p><strong>EDit 3</strong></p>
<p>after some messing around with xrandr and xinit ... my x.org only displays one monitor instead of two in its settings although both, i.e. the laptop and external screens are both connected.</p>
<p><strong>EDIT 4</strong>
it seems that x.org now has a "screen" and "monitor" section, I can't seem to be able to boot linux into monitor. I get a "Monitor is not a valid keyword" in this subsection</p>

I use a MIDI keyboard for entry, QSynth (fluidsynth) as the playback MIDI device(s), and Rosegarden to do the capture and editing of the MIDI.

Multi-channel, multi-bus, supports per-channel digital effects plugins, and has a bit of a learning curve. IMHO, it compares well with Pro-Tools(tm), but I have only seen pro-tools used and found I could do the same with Ardour. One session I did with this ended with 5.2 mix down with separate L/R/C front, L/R rear, and sub channels. The original source was recorded from playback Rosegarden (I told you I used all of these for different things!) and then mixed.</p>\n\n<p>Ardour uses JackD.</p>\n\n<p><em>Pulse Audio</em></p>\n\n<p>[Warning, this is pure opinion and rant....]Pulse audio and any serious sound work do no mix. I don't do serious sound work, but I run 3 sounds cards in my machine. I had them running very well under ALSA (yes, it took a bit of work). When Ubuntu shoved Pulse Audio down my throat, I spent several long nights trying to get things happy again and get the right sound card mapped to the right place. I then finally uninstalled Pulse Audio, and reverted to my ALSA setup and could get things going again. YMMV</p>\n",

<li><p>I discarded problems with my DVD reader as other cds boots fine.</p></li>

<p>I'm currently using Ubuntu 9.10, I know I can upgrade via internet, but I have this same problem with my Windows XP cd, so I really would like to discover what's going on here.. My Ubuntu 9.10 cd boots just right, but the new one not.</p>
<p>What else can be? Or what more precise tests can I make to discover where's the problem? </p>
<p><strong>--More info</strong></p>
<p>What happens when I try to boot with the Ubuntu 10.10 cd is that it behaves like there's no bootable cd in the drive. It just don't find the boot on the cd, and start the HD system.</p>
<p>My notebook is an Amazon PC Intel Celeron 1.5 with 2Gb memory, a DVD-RW driver, HD samsung with 260GB.</p>

<p>If you put the media agains the light and see the other side, does that means that it's a bad quality dvd media? (it's a Philips)</p>

Unfortunately, Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop does not have this feature that I'm aware of, although perhaps I could be wrong. </p>
<p>See, as a web developer, I replace my localhost domain with "me.com" (since I never use me.com) in my <code>/etc/hosts</code> file. So, I can visit my own web server this way. But since my <code>/etc/resolv.conf</code> doesn't have nameserver 127.0.0.1 in it, every lookup has to go out to my slow ISP DNS lookup and then back. So, I edit the file manually, but every time I reboot, the connection gets lost, and every time my ISP has troubles and my system renegotiates afterwards, I have to type this entry in again.</p>
<p>Oh, and I prefer that the nameserver 127.0.0.1 be first, not last.</p>
<p>Note without this entry, every connection to me.com is slow. With this entry, my connection to me.com is super fast.</p>
<p>Is there a way to automatically do this on boot?</p>

<p>But there is only one flashplugin in the plugins directory: <code>/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so</code> -> <code>/etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin</code></p>

<p>Somehow, the backquote (backtick = `) character can't be input does not get entered in XTerm. I type it and nothing happens. The cursor does not move forward. Nor can I type the è (e with grave). This is normally input by typing the backtick followed by an e. I can type the accented é into XTerm as it is a key on the keyboard.</p>
<p>I know it works because I can input the ` backtick and è etc in Terminal (gnome-terminal). </p>
<p>I don't want to change the keyboard layout. termcap? terminfo? maybe that has something to do with it ... something is intercepting that backtick ... all other special characters can be input without problem.</p>
<p>Someone please help me solve this mystery. I like to use XTerm and I need the backquotes.</p>

<p>When I try to install Picasa, it apparently completes, and tells me that it has been installed. But when I try to look for Picasa to run it, it doesn't appear in the menu anywhere.</p>
<p>I am unable to find Picasa on my system and it says that it has been installed already when I try to reinstall it. </p>
<p>I have tried a few things;</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Looked for the key: </p>
<p><code>wget -q -O - <a href="https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux" rel="nofollow">https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux</a>_signing_key.pub | apt-key add -</code></p></li>
</ul>
<p>... and then added it.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Tried the following commands after adding Picasa to my source list: </p>
<p><code>sudo apt-get upgrade</code><br>
<code>sudo apt-get install picasa</code></p></li>
</ul>
<p>And here is the result: </p>
<pre><code>netbook:~$ sudo apt-get install picasa
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
picasa is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
</code></pre>
<p>And when I tried to look for Picasa again... I can't find it.</p>
<p>(I had also started <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10530070#post10530070" rel="nofollow">this thread on ubuntu forums</a> but didn't get a solution.)</p>
<hr>
<p>I tried Jorge's solution and it did launch Picasa immediately, however I am unable to keep it in the launcher. There is no such option. All I can see is only 2 options:<br>
1. Wine<br>
2. Quit </p>
<p>So, I still need help to keep it in the menu/launcher.</p>

29316 | 1 | 30227 | 2011-03-06T21:49:46.873 | 0 | 927 | <p>I have a Philips SNU5600 WiFi dongle plugged into two machines (ie I have two SNU5600 dongles, one in each machine). One machine is running 10.10 and the other is running Linux Mint.</p>
<p>The dongles work absolutely fine, except if I do a lot of file transfers to a NAS attached to the wireless router. After a while the connection to the router will go.</p>
<p>To get the connection back I either need to run <code>sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart</code> or I need to unplug and plug in again the dongle.</p>
<p>Otherwise the dongle works fine (web browsing, streaming, etc).</p>
<p>Output of lsusb:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0471:1236 Philips (or NXP) SNU5600 802.11bg</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Output of <code>lsusb -v</code> at <a href="http://pastebin.com/dXYKkF01" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/dXYKkF01</a></p>
<p>What steps should I take next to resolve this? Is it a known problem?</p>
<p>Could it be the router? It is a 3Com "OfficeConnect Wireless 11g Cable/DSL Gateway
Version 1.02.15".</p>
<p><strong>Edit</strong>
I am in France and the dongle was configured for the US region. I used the following command to change this:</p>
<pre><code>sudo iw reg set fr
</code></pre>
<p>This <em>may</em> have made things better, but I can't be certain.</p>
<p><strong>Edit 2</strong>
Disconnect happened at 19:48 and I reconnected at 20:00 - I have some logs:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>/var/log/debug</code> <a href="http://pastebin.com/saB4MPpB" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/saB4MPpB</a></li>
<li><code>/var/log/messages</code> <a href="http://pastebin.com/qEHAL9Sj" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/qEHAL9Sj</a></li>

<p>This happened in debug when the disconnect happened:</p>

<p>Any ideas whether this is likely to be fixed in the next release of Ubuntu?</p>

29318 | 1 | 29324 | 2011-03-06T22:07:16.227 | 9 | 12311 | <p>I am apt-get installing Ardour, a sound mixing program, just to try it out. Installing Ardour also installs JACK, a dependency. As part of the JACK installation script, I get the following dialog:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>If you want to run jackd with realtime priorities, the user starting jackd needs realtime permissions. Accept this option to create the file /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf, granting realtime priority and memlock privileges to the audio group.</p>
<p>Running jackd with realtime priority minimizes latency, but may lead to complete system lock-ups by requesting all the available physical system memory, which is unacceptable in multi-user environments.</p>
<p>Enable realtime process priority? </p>
</blockquote>
<p>I'm installing on my laptop, which never has multiple simultaneous users. I still have concerns: is JACK something that'll be used by the system itself to play any sound (i.e. will it replace ALSA)? If so, does that mean that if I enable realtime priority for JACK, I'll run a slight risk of freezing the machine whenever any sound is played? Or is JACK only going to be used by Ardour for now (until I install some other JACK-dependent program)?</p>

For exemple <a href="http://www.fpnp.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.fpnp.net/</a>. The problematic place is the black bar in Flash window with a text below the image on the right. Here the letters are displayed in wrong direction and, by consequence, are not joined. You can see (I hope) the difference between that black bar and the rest of the text.</p>
<p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZGjz3.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZGjz3.png" alt="picture of the problem"></a></p>
<p>Hope it will understandable for not Arabic-speaking people.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel<br>
pkill gnome-panel </p>

<p>but I only got a nice empty panel (no <em>Applications</em> <em>Places</em> <em>System</em>, no clock, no shutdown button...) to which I couldn't add any applet, so I decided to take the default profiles in .gconf and .gconfd from a live CD and overwrite mines.

This is only used as a last resort when a particular version of some software has problems that are so serious that a rollback is the only option.
