I'm not a photographer, so this confusion may simply be a result of my ignorance, but I thought RAW images were unprocessed photographs, in which case two editors would be kinda redundant. Am I simply missing one of the finer details of photograph processing?</p>

For this, you would typically use a RAW Editor. A RAW editor usually does things like handle tint, exposure, things like that, which can be best tweaked before it converts to JPEG. This is the basic task of a RAW editor, such as UFRaw or Rawstudio. They give you control over the way the data from your camera's sensor becomes that JPEG file.</p>\n\n<p>An external photo editor on the other hand would be a program typically for editing regular JPEG files, and usually offers a lot more things you can do to the photograph, such as airbrushing etc.</p>\n\n<p>So why are some types of things expected to be done to RAW files while others are reserved for JPEG? Well, I don't have a good reason, except that's the way it's always been done. Programmatically, the task of converting to JPEG is quite different from the task of editing the contents of the image, even though an average person such as yourself would see the two tasks as essentially the same. Personally, I would love to see a program that let you edit RAW files as if you were editing a JPEG, and allow you when finished to save the finished product as a JPEG.</p>\n",

everything went perfectly well until allocating drivespace. i dont have the option to "install it besides another operating system " like in the instructions. i only get this menu when my external hard disk is plugged in, but i dont want that.
any help assigning partitions? because i have no clue about what to do there
this is what the partition menu gives</p>

I see this in many MNC brand laptops and it is a very poor partitioning scheme. In that case, you will need to delete one of such primary partition and create an extended partition. You can shrink another existing partition as well and add to this free space if you are able to get contiguous space. Once you have extended partitions/free space created, Ubuntu install will show optin to install along side with windows 7. </p>\n\n<p>There are other possibilities, but probably hearing from you more on your current windows 7 partition types and number of partitions can help if we need to discus those options.</p>\n",

30673 | 1 | 30676 | 2011-03-16T19:35:23.013 | 25 | 117815 | <p>I'm trying to make a backup of my /home to transfer all data from one computer to another. I wanted to save the backup on the same computer and than transfere it to another one. For safety reasons, I'm trying to learn how does it work on the computer without a lot of data (the new one) to be sure I won't delete something instead of copying it. </p>
<p>I've run in terminal: </p>
<pre><code>sudo rsync -avz /home/maria /home/guest/backup
</code></pre>
<p>and I had as the result:</p>
<pre><code>sent 58797801 bytes received 23050 bytes 4705668.08 bytes/sec
total size is 100202958 speedup is 1.70
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1060) [sender=3.0.7]
</code></pre>
<p>I've tried once again, with the same result. I have no idea, which files were not transferred, what makes the whole backup useless for me (I wanted to do it automatically in order not to forget about something and loose it).</p>
<p>On both computers I have the same system (Ubuntu 10.04). Rsync version: 3.0.7-1ubuntu1.</p>
<p>Thanks for any tips</p>

30691 | 1 | 30692 | 2011-03-16T21:54:54.487 | 1 | 535 | <p>an upstart question (I think I have read all relevant man pages but could not find the answer there): What is the sense of using a "stop on ..." stanza in the definition of a job which is a task?</p>
<p>The manuals tell us that such a job, after being started, just waits until its script (or exec stanza) is executed completely, and then stops automatically. Given that, what is the point in using "stop on ..." stanzas in such job definitions?</p>
<p>For example, this is the job definition for Upstart's (very important) rc job in Natty 11.04 (leaving out comments and empty lines):</p>
<pre><code>start on runlevel [0123456]
stop on runlevel [!$RUNLEVEL]
export RUNLEVEL
export PREVLEVEL
console output
env INIT_VERBOSE
task
exec /etc/init.d/rc $RUNLEVEL
</code></pre>
<p>IMHO, the job, after being started by a runlevel event, will be stopped automatically as soon as <code>/etc/init.d/rc $RUNLEVEL</code> has finished.</p>
<p>Thank you very much for any explanation!</p>

30697 | 1 | null | 2011-03-16T22:28:56.417 | 3 | 1191 | <p>I just can't understand how Upstart's rc job definition in Natty 11.04 works. To illustrate the problem, here is the definition (empty lines and comments are left out):</p>
<pre><code>start on runlevel [0123456]
stop on runlevel [!$RUNLEVEL]
export RUNLEVEL
export PREVLEVEL
console output
env INIT_VERBOSE
task
exec /etc/init.d/rc $RUNLEVEL
</code></pre>
<p>Let's suppose we currently are in runlevel 2 and the rc job is stopped (that is exactly the situation after booting my box and logging in via SSH). Now, let's assume that the system switches to runlevel 3, for example due to a command like "telinit 3" given by root. What will happen to the rc job?</p>
<p>Obviously, the rc job will be started since it is currently stopped and the event runlevel 3 is matching the start events. But from now on, things are unclear to me: According to the manual $RUNLEVEL evaluates to the new runlevel when the job is started (that means 3 in our example).</p>
<p>Therefore, the next stanza "stop on runlevel [!$RUNLEVEL]" translates to "stop on runlevel [!3]"; that means we have a first stanza which will trigger the job, but the second stanza will never stop the job and seems to be useless.</p>
<p>Since I know that the Ubuntu / Upstart people won't do useless things, I must be heavily misunderstanding something. I would be grateful for any explanation.</p>
<p>While trying to understand this, an additional question came to my mind. If I had contradicting start and stop triggers, for example</p>
<pre><code>start on foo
stop on foo
</code></pre>
<p>what would happen? I swear I never will do that, but I am nevertheless very interested in how Upstart handles that on the theoretical level.</p>
<p>Thank you very much!</p>
<hr>
<p>Editing the question as a reaction on geekosaur's first answer:</p>
<p>I can see the parallelism, but it is not that easy (at least, not to me).</p>
<p>Let's assume the job aurrently is still running, and a new runlevel event comes in (of course, the new runlevel is different from the current one). Then, the following should happen:</p>
<p>1) The job is single instance. That means that "start on ..." won't be triggered since the job is currently running; $RUNLEVEL is not touched.</p>
<p>2) "stop on ..." will be triggered since the <em>new</em> runlevel is different from $RUNLEVEL, so the job will be aborted.</p>
<p>3) Now, the job is stopped and waiting. I can't see how it is restarted with the <em>new</em> runlevel. AFAIK, initctl emits events only once, so "start on ..." won't be triggered and the new runlevel won't be entered.</p>
<p>I know that I still misunderstanding something, and I am grateful for explanations.</p>
<p>Thank you very much!</p>

Is that a bug, or is that the way it's going to be? I heard something about Ubuntu getting rid of that feature entirely. Is there a way to add it back? I mean, I didn't really like it, either, especially when there were apps that used it unnecessarily, but I can't use CryptKeeper at all now, or easycrypt, and I don't know whether Dropbox has synced without opening Nautilus. </p>

<p>I was wondering if anyone else has experience this. I have a couple of keys for my current user that may connect to different machines. Let say machine1 and machine2. I have pasted my public key into their respective authorized_keys file. The first one I have named the first key id_rsa and the second key bender. </p>
<p>When I try to connect to bender I get the following output with my verbose ssh connection </p>
<pre><code>debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent
debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS
debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received
debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST sent
debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey
debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
debug1: Trying private key: /home/bozo/.ssh/.ssh/identity
debug1: Trying private key: /home/bozo/.ssh/.ssh/id_rsa
debug1: Trying private key: /home/bozo/.ssh/id_dsa
debug1: No more authentication methods to try.
Permission denied (publickey).
</code></pre>
<p>It only offers the id_rsa key, as you can see above. Is this correct? If so why? How do I get it to offer more keys? I know it is a problem I see intermittently, because I at home I have multiple keys without much trouble. </p>
<p>I would also appreciate a overview on how the pub and private keys interact with the client and server. I thought I had a pretty decent idea, but apparently I am missing something. </p>

For the client, you'll have to do that on your own.</p>\n<p>When you (client) connect with a server, public keys are exchanged. You'll receive the servers one, and the server yours. The first time you receive the server public key, you'll be asked to accept it. If this public key changes over a time, you'll be warned because a possible MITM (Man in the middle) attack is going on, intercepting the traffic between the client and the server.</p>\n<p>The server checks whether you are allowed to connect (defined in <code>/etc/ssh/sshd_config</code>) and if your public key is listed in the <code>~/.ssh/authorized_keys</code> file. Possible reasons why the public key is denied:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>/etc/ssh/sshd_config</code>:</li>\n<li><code>AllowUsers</code> or <code>AllowGroups</code> is specified, but your server user is not listed in the groups or users list (default not defined, placing no restriction on the users or groups from logging in).</li>\n<li><code>DenyUsers</code> or <code>DenyGroups</code> is specified and you're in the users or groups list.</li>\n<li>You're trying to login as root, but <code>PermitRootLogin</code> is set to <code>No</code> (default <code>yes</code>).</li>\n<li><code>PubkeyAuthentication</code> is set to <code>No</code> (default <code>yes</code>).</li>\n<li><code>AuthorizedKeysFile</code> is set to a different location, and the public keys are not added to that file (default <code>.ssh/authorized_keys</code>, relative to home dir)</li>\n<li><code>~/.ssh/authorized_keys</code>: your public key is not added in this file (note that this file is read as root user)</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Using multiple keys</h2>\n<p>It's not uncommon to use multiple keys. Instead of running <code>ssh user@host -i /path/to/identity_file</code>, you can use a configuration file, <code>~/.ssh/config</code>.</p>\n<p>Common settings are the <code>IdentityFile</code> (the keys) and port. The next configuration will check <code>~/.ssh/id_dsa</code> and <code>~/.ssh/bender</code> only when connecting with <code>ssh youruser@yourhost</code>:</p>\n<pre><code>Host yourhost\n IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_dsa\n IdentityFile ~/.ssh/bender\n</code></pre>\n<p>If you omit <code>Host yourhost</code>, the settings will apply to all SSH connections. Other options can also be specified for this host match, like <code>User youruser</code>, <code>Port 2222</code>, etc. This would allow you to connect with the shorthand <code>ssh yourhost</code> instead of <code>ssh -p 2222 youruser@yourhost -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa -i ~/.ssh/bender</code>.</p>\n",

Well, the thing is that I had a dual-boot system with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10. Yesterday, I installed Ubuntu 11.04 alpha 3 (through live USB). I chose that 11.04 would install over 10.10 on the installation wizard, where I have no important files. However, it overwrote Windows too, and its data, meaning that I can't find Windows as a grub entry and I can't find the corresponding NTFS partition. Is there some way to recover it? Thanks!</p>

We have only a 3Mbps internet connection serving the entire campus, and I would like to ensure that updates are done in the middle of the night - so that daytime tasks are not slowed down.</p>
<p>I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, and have set all computers to download and install security updates via the update manager. I have also installed cron-apt, and modified the config file to stagger the start times of the upgrades from about 10pm to 4am local time.</p>
<p>HOWEVER - this morning I arrived at the school at 7:30am and all the computers were busy downloading a large security based update. Needless to say, all internet activity was slowed to a crawl (for the next 2 hours), and the computer users were very very upset. This was the event I'm trying so hard to prevent.</p>
<p>It seems that my scheme to ensure middle of the night downloads failed, and I'm not sure why.</p>
<p>I've also tried some schemes using unattended-upgrades & crontab, but there always seemed to be something scheduling upgrades to occur in addition to the ones I try to force at middle of the night.</p>
<p><strong>Is there a sure fire way to absolutely positively guarantee that updates will occur only at one specific time?</strong> It would be nice if the update manager just had a drop down menu to specify a designated time.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.</p>

I'm planning to learn one of the <a href="http://tlundqvist.org/sv_dvorak/" rel="nofollow">Swedish dvorak versions</a> included in Ubuntu.</p>
<p>Is there a good program to learn dvorak (sv)? I've linked the version that I want to learn and I really need a picture of the keyboard setup. Because I can't see the layout at the moment.</p>
<p><strong>ktouch</strong> doesn't support my version of dvorak, and <strong>klarvo</strong> doesn't show a picture of the keyboard.</p>

<p>I've established that the Unity desktop is not suited to this laptop, and am now using the standard (Gnome?) desktop.</p>
<p>I'm grappling with ndiswrapper and my wireless chipset.</p>
<p>But I'm still running it off a USB drive before I take the plunge and install properly to my internal HD. Part of my reticence in completing the installation is I'm experience freezes after about 10-20 minutes usage. Is this likely to be in any way related to running it off the USB drive?</p>
<p>EDIT: marked answer as accepted, installing onto hard disk has eliminated freezes.</p>

<p>The host and client are both going to be my laptop. I Googled and came across apt-mirror and some other packages. I do not want to archive the entire 15 GB Ubuntu repositories on my machine. </p>
<p>It is not possible to use a CD, ISO, loop mounted disk. I have tried using netboot image on local machine which failed because if you are attempting to create a virtual machine on a hardware which does not support VT virt-manager installer necessarily needs a URL of this sort </p>
<p><a href="http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/</a></p>
<p>Any other option to create guest OS is simply grayed out.</p>
<p>My Ethernet connections do not work when I boot with Xen-4.0 and a pv-ops Dom0 kernel from Jeremy's tree. Which is where I have to do this work. So I have to create a URL structure which is similar to Ubuntu mirrors. So how can I do this in bare minimum so that at least the console boots and once the console comes I can do some work.</p>

<p>I want to download a 12GB file using torrent. After adding the .torrent file, transmission turned into a zombie process (I tried ktorrent too. Same behavior). Finally I could download the file using µTorrent but after closing the program, it turns into a zombie as well.</p>
<p>I tried using <code>kill</code>, <code>skill</code> and <code>pkill</code> with different options and <code>-9</code> signal but no success.</p>
<p>After reading some solutions on web, I found out killing the parent can kill the zombie. But killing wine didn't help either.</p>
<p>Is there another way?</p>

<ol>
<li>Window borders are not showing. Installed compiz settings, and re-check window decorations option. </li>
<li>I had to re-install nvidia driver, as when I tried to apply normal visual effects, it said no display driver found. </li>
<li>Gnome panel is not coming, and mouse pointer is a "cross" than a "arrow". I then opened a terminal and enter gnome-panel. Panel came and window borders came back. </li>
<li>Nothing is showing on desktop, and the right click is also not populating the menu. </li>
<li>When i loging, an error message saying, docky did not start and it requires compiz to work. After starting gnome-panel from terminal, i went to system>preferences>Appearance. And selected normal visual effects. It activated, i selected keep the settings.</li>
</ol>
<p>Now when i restart or re-login, everything is gone. I have to run gnome-panel manually, and then re-enable visual setting. Ofcourse i can add gnome-panel in startup applications, but i want to know what has installing unity/gnome-shell has done, that these setting are messed up. </p>
<p>I manually removed mutter, as Appearance application was showing mutter installed, cant enable effects. What shall i do to get back a standard gnome-desktop back.</p>

<p>I have edited the configuration file at <code>/etc/default/jetty</code> and set: </p>
<pre><code># change to 0 to allow Jetty start
NO_START=0
# Listen to connections from this network host
# Use 0.0.0.0 as host to accept all connections.
JETTY_HOST=0.0.0.0
</code></pre>
<p>Now I can reach the Jetty webserver at <code>http://192.168.1.10:8080</code> but I would like to have Jetty listening on port 80.</p>
<p>I have tried this setting in the same configuration file:</p>
<pre><code># The network port used by Jetty
JETTY_PORT=80
</code></pre>
<p>and then restart Jetty with <code>sudo service jetty restart</code> but it doesn't work.</p>
<p>How can I change so that the Jetty webserver is listening on port 80?</p>

30918 | 1 | 34281 | 2011-03-18T13:16:48.727 | 2 | 551 | <p>When I freshly installed maverick on my new notebook, I set up my keyboard shortcuts like this: Switch to WS 1 = <code>Mod4+1</code>, Move Window to WS 1 = <code>Mod4+Shift+1</code>, Switch to WS 2 = <code>Mod4+2</code> and so on (Mod4 being the "Windows" key). But now the three-key combinations (i.e. the ones I use for "move to...") stopped working. When I go to keyboard preferences, I still see them and I can even change them to a different combination and then again to the desired one - but they won't execute the window movement afterwards :/ Any suggestions how to fix this?</p>

30964 | 1 | null | 2011-03-18T21:34:46.493 | 2 | 664 | <p>I've recently discovered of a boot problem Ubuntu has with my laptop. I have successfully installed Ubuntu on two other computers, and I've never experienced this problem. What happens is, after the live boot CD loads, the screen goes completely blank. Although, I suspected that there was no problem booting, so I loaded with BIOS only, which worked perfectly fine. Of course, not being very proficient with this, I have no idea what needs to be done to fix the problem.</p>
<p>I have switchable graphics cards(the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650, and some low-end Intel card), and an Intel i5 quad core processor. I was booting with the Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit desktop distribution. If there's any more information you need from me, please let me know.</p>
<p>EDIT: I was able to look into this a bit more, thanks to one of the comments provided, and I have some new information. Ubuntu does seem to be able to recognize both of my graphics cards. The problem I found was that, in the Xorg.0 log, it mentions that there were "no screens found." I'm using a notebook, so the screen is built in. Does anyone know of a way to get Ubuntu to recognize the monitor?</p>

30988 | 1 | 31004 | 2011-03-19T03:04:49.607 | 26 | 41023 | <p>Is there a way to set the gnome-terminal title from within the terminal itself without having to right click on the tab. Something like:</p>
<pre><code>active-terminal --title "Foo"
</code></pre>
<p>There was a related question previously with an answer that almost lets you do this: <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/22413/how-to-change-gnome-terminal-title/22838#22838">How to change Gnome-Terminal title?</a> but that doesn't set the gnome-terminal tab title only the window title.</p>

Last day I tried to install Kget (the download manager) but during the process my computer suddenly stopped working. So I had to switch it off. After I logged into Ubuntu again I can't install any program. The Ubuntu Software Center says:</p>
<pre><code>Items cannot be installed or removed until package catalog is repaired.
Do you want to repair it now?
</code></pre>
<p>After I clicked repair it says (after few seconds):</p>
<pre><code>Package operation fails - The installation or removal of a software package failed
</code></pre>
<p>I've tried several times, but the same problem occurred. Can anyone tell me a solution for this problem?</p>
