31016 | 1 | 36208 | 2011-03-19T07:41:44.737 | 2 | 174 | <p>I am suffering from a bug/crash in Natty, which I have logged in Launchpad: <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/737928" rel="nofollow">https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/737928</a></p>
<p>The response I got back on my bug was a "provide us with a .crash file, or we won't look into it". Not very helpful really, but I can understand that the developers need something to work with. I have checked for this .crash file, which I can provide, but it isn't there.</p>
<p>So, my question is, what else can I provide/do in order to get this bug looked at and fixed?</p>
<p>It can't be a specific problem as it happens to both my 32bit laptop and my 64bit desktop, both being very different machines, and it is stopping me from connecting to my development & backup network machines so I can't do my work...</p>
<p>It turns out that I had to replicate the bug a number of times before I finally got promoted to report it by Apport. It would be nice, though, if there was a simpler way.</p>

<p>I wanted to compile the latest Transmission client from source but in order to do that I needed the libevent-2 library which is not available from Ubuntu 10.04's repository.</p>
<p>Therefore, I grabbed libevent-2's source code, compiled it and installed it (sudo make install). </p>
<p>I am now able to compile transmission and install it. However, when I try to launch it <code>/usr/local/bin/transmission-gtk</code>, I get the following error:</p>
<p><code>/usr/local/bin/transmission-gtk: error while loading shared libraries: libevent-2.0.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory</code></p>
<p>However, <code>libevent-2.0.so.5</code> is in the <code>/usr/local/lib</code> directory instead of <code>/usr/local/lib</code>. Is that possibly the problem? Where should I go from here?</p>

</code></pre>
<p>I looked at the <code>.patch</code>, the diff output of many files and the file <code>.patch.bz2</code> after the <code>bzip2</code> command which is too also the diff output of many files, they seem to be the same. My question is why is bzip2 even needed to turn the <code>.patch</code> into a <code>.patch.bz2</code>? Is it for the redirection to std output from the <code>-dc</code> option for the patch command? Even if it is, why not just not just use the patch command in the form something like this:<code>patch -p1 < patchfile</code>? I don't see why the bzip2 is done here.</p>
<p>Also, I think the bzip2 might have an extra space in the command after <code>web100/</code>, right?</p>

If your machine stays connected and keeps running for days or weeks, even the best internal clock will eventually go out of sync.<br>\nUbuntu also doesn't try to adjust your internal clock by default, and it sounds like your clock is badly adjusted.

Actually, when you install adjtimex, it runs adjtimexconfig which sets values in /etc/default/adjtimex. But it does so quickly using the hardware clock, and in my experience the results are usually somewhere between bad and terrible. Some machines are hard to tune well, but I've had good luck with most of my machines by doing the manual calculation necessary to figure out the right FREQ and TICK values to put in /etc/default/adjtimex. To go this route, start by installing adjtimex via Applications/Ubuntu Software Center. To figure out manual settings for FREQ and TICK, see the nice calculator at <a href=\"http://www.ep.ph.bham.ac.uk/general/support/adjtimex.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">Tuning with adjtimex as an alternative to running ntpd</a>. That page also notes that your choice of \"clocksource\" can affect how accurate your clock is. The hpet (High Precision Event Timer) seems more accurate than the tsc (Time Stamp Counter).</p></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>There are tips for dealing with other glitches at <a href=\"https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime\" rel=\"nofollow\">UbuntuTime - Help.ubuntu.com</a></p>\n",

<pre><code>youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zWwTTAc7O8
[youtube] Setting language
[youtube] 6zWwTTAc7O8: Downloading video info webpage
[youtube] 6zWwTTAc7O8: Extracting video information
ERROR: format not available for video
</code></pre>
<p>Then I tried minitube latest version. but it just cant open the video. it just keeps trying to open video. it is unable to even play or download any video.</p>
<p>Also in old days, whenever i play video in youtube.com that was automatically was saved in my /tmp. But that is also not happening these days.</p>
<p>What can I use for downloading Youtube videos? I am using Lucid 64 bit. </p>
<p>Edit1: I dont want to use any extensions to Firefox. I like my firefox without any extension. With extension it becomes soooooo slow and inactive.</p>

31080 | 1 | 31248 | 2011-03-19T15:33:54.123 | 4 | 2537 | <p>So I was facing weird graphics drivers issues due to the <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/30088/thinkpad-w510-with-default-graphics-drivers-shows-weird-brightness-issues">default nouveau drivers that came installed with Ubuntu 10.10</a> hence I installed the latest nVidia graphics drivers & the weird graphics issues stopped happening. So far so good, but when I tried to shut down the laptop it got stuck at the window with text </p>
<pre><code>15, shutting down...
modem-manager: Caught signal 15, shutting down...
init: Disconnected from system us
init: dbus main process (1107) killed by TERM signal
</code></pre>
<p>And this happens .everytime.without.fail. I tried updating the kernel and any/all drivers through update manager but it still happens. Not only this even the startup screen is totally screwed up. It just displays Ubuntu 10.10 in text with 3 dots. But that is acceptable. To power cycle down the laptop each and everytime for shutdown is not. Same goes for when I try to restart.</p>
<p>Interesting thing is if I try to shutdown the laptop when I am on the login screen it does so without any problems.</p>
<p>I googled & many people seem to face the same issue but I couldn't find any silver bullet hoping to find one here. </p>

<p>Examples of such websites are </p>
<ul>

<li>Uploading,</li>
<li>Megaupload,</li>
<li>Filesonic,</li>
<li>Fileserver,</li>
<li>Hotfiles,</li>

</ul>
<p>But the applications are not necessarily applicable to all of them.</p>
<p>Thanks and regards!</p>
<hr>
<p>ADDED:</p>
<p>I just tried slimrat. It failed to download files from rapidshare. Can it be because the website of rapidshare has changed recently and the parsing functionality for their website by slimrat is not up-to-date yet. </p>

31119 | 1 | 31130 | 2011-03-19T21:25:53.567 | 1 | 4253 | <p>I have an Asus EeePC 1005PE netbook and I'm planning on doing a massive re-partitioning (going to install Ubuntu, Mint, XP, etc).</p>
<p>I've noticed it has 2 "special" partitions:</p>
<ul>
<li>a 10Gb Fat32 RESTORE hidden partition (used by BIOS "F9 recovery" feature)</li>
<li>a 16Mb "unknown" partition at the end of the drive (used by BIOS "Boot Booster" feature)</li>
</ul>
<p>So, for both partitions, my question is:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Can I move/resize the recovery partition freely?</p>
</li>
<li><p>What are the requirements for it? (I mean, for it still to be found by BIOS when I press F9/Activate BootBooster.) Partition table order? Partition type? Flags? Label? UUID?</p>
</li>
<li><p>Can I make it a logical (instead of primary) partition?</p>
</li>
<li><p>Must it be the flagged as boot?</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Most importantly: Where can I find <em>any</em> official documentation about it? I've already seen much (mis)information about it. Some say Boot Booster partition must be last (in partition table), some say Recovery must be 2nd, that it must be bootable, etc. How can I know what is <em>really</em> needed for the BIOS to use both F9 and Boot Booster?</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: I'm using GParted from a Live USB Stick (Mint 10 / Ubuntu 10.10), and I've noticed that, since the filesystem type of the Boot Booster is not recognized, it can't move or resize it. Can I delete it and re-create it somewhere else? Whenever I create a 0xEF partition GParted crashes and quits and I cannot open it again (must delete the partition using fdisk / cfdisk).</p>

<p>I performed an upgrade to 10.4, and everything seemed to proceed smoothly, so I took the plunge and went for 10.10.</p>
<p>Disaster.</p>
<p>My twinview Nvidia display which had been working perfectly is now broken. On boot everything seems fine, but when X starts and the second monitor springs into life the primary winks out and switches off - almost as if its been put into an unsupported display mode.</p>
<p>The system seems to think there's a second monitor - the nvidia logo is split across the two screens, but it can't seem to start.</p>
<p>Things I've tried:</p>
<ul>
<li>Swapping the monitors (one is older than the other, and its definitely the port not the actual monitor)</li>
<li>Rolling back to an old Xorg conf from prior to the upgrade</li>
<li>Installing a non-beta driver direct from Nvidia (this seems to start both monitors but then apparently stops boot and causes the second display to 'wink'. Twinview seems non-functional, both displays are mirrors)</li>
<li>Disabling EDID</li>
<li>Disabling twinview, logging in and attempting to use the Nvidia config to re-detect the monitors (second monitor is falsely detected and won't go higher than 1024x768. Selecting 'apply' causes one screen to go blank and the other to display garbage)</li>
<li>googling for about 5 hours looking for similar problems, none of the offered solutions seemed to work</li>
</ul>
<p>I'm at a loss, and it is looking very much like I'm going to have to go through a time consuming reinstall to downgrade back to the working 10.4. </p>
<p>Any thoughts?</p>

<p>All other <kbd>SysRq</kbd> combinations appear to work correctly (i.e. <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>SysRq</kbd> + <kbd>REISU</kbd>).</p>
<p>cat /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq returns 0. But I'm not sure it's relevant because <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>SysRq</kbd> certainly works.</p>
<p>What can I do to have "B" actually restart the system?</p>

31129 | 1 | 51393 | 2011-03-19T23:15:45.177 | 2 | 2280 | <p>I managed to get my wireless working beautifully (ath5k driver working great), and it works over a disable/enable wireless cycle, even a suspend/wakeup cycle (read some people have issues with that). Unfortunately, I discovered that if I press Fn+F2 on my keyboard (Asus EeePC 900HA, so that's the wireless toggle key), wireless then stops working until I restart the computer.</p>
<p>How can I fix this? I'm running UNR 10.10 (with Unity turned off tyvm!). I heard something about Jupiter controlling these keys, but what about asus-laptop? How can I fix this behaviour?</p>
<p>TIA.

31167 | 1 | 31171 | 2011-03-20T10:44:02.587 | 50 | 57790 | <p>I'm testing Natty, and Compiz keeps crashing on me. However, it doesn't always give me the option to restart Compiz, and for some reason doesn't have a fallback window manager(WM) configured. </p>
<p>Without a WM, all my programs are still running, but they're not accepting input from the keyboard, and I can't switch between them. </p>
<p>I can, however, press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>F1</kbd> and get a terminal, and I can <code>killall Xorg</code> to reset everything; but, I'd rather just reset Compiz, if possible. </p>
<p>If I try typing <code>compiz --replace</code> in the TTY, it complains "fatal--couldn't open display." Is there a way to have TTY1 restart Compiz? Like <code>compiz --replace --display=something</code>? </p>
<p>Additionally, is there a way to configure a fallback window manager so that there's an easier way to recover from Compiz crashing? </p>

<p>I'm getting terrible graphics performance in <strong>NeverWinter Nights</strong> (native with SoU+HotU+CEP2) on my Eee PC 1005HAB. Even with all graphics settings (including the "advanced" ones) at minimum I get about 2-10 FPS, depending on the scene. <strong>Firefox</strong> is really sluggish as well - Changing tabs often takes a second, scrolling is laggy, and typing this I notice the delay between pressing keys and seeing the text on screen. The rest of the OS is running OK, although general performance seems to be even <em>worse</em> than my old Eee PC 900.</p>
<p><code>glxgears</code> gives about 60 FPS, which is apparently as it should be (synchronized with the monitor refresh rate).</p>
<p>Bugs like <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/252094" rel="nofollow">Launchpad #252094</a> and the instructions for <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4" rel="nofollow">Reverting the Jaunty Xorg intel driver to 2.4</a> are old enough that I'm afraid following the instructions would render the system unusable.</p>
<p>Are there any tips for improving graphics performance on this system that are still relevant for 10.10?</p>

<p>One fine day, my graphics card died (of old age, presumably) - resulting in myself being initially unable to boot to WinVista and Ubuntu 10.10. I solved the problem with WinVista (disabled Nvidia card after booting to Safe mode), but I don't know how to do the same with Ubuntu. I can only disable the 3rd-party driver <em>after</em> I boot to desktop, but since its crashing before that, I'm unable to do so. </p>
<p>Can anyone help me disable the graphics card in Ubuntu?</p>

<p>During installation my touchpad was not working, I managed through keyboard, but after completing installation & restarting the machine still there was no touchpad support. Also there's no proper graphic card drivers. Even I tried connecting the USB mouse to it but the left key is not working and had to configure the mouse as left-hand to get the left click enabled.</p>
<p>I tried searching for any possible solutions for these but found nothing helpful, is there any hope? What should I do to enable<br>
i) enable touch pad support<br>
ii) get higher resolution 1366x768, etc?</p>

<p>The options are now available in nvidia-settings, and I can slide the slider up and down, but when I choose "Apply" it simply reverts them back to default. I even tried to run nvidia-settings by way of sudo, and I got the same result.</p>
<p>I also installed nvclock and I am trying to modify clock and fan settings through that command-line utility, but with no avail there either. The fan speed says it is increased to 100% for example, but the fan does not change and nvidia-settings stays stable at 35% fan speed.</p>

<p>But when I click the program item from Applications -> Wine -> Programs -> Expresso -> Expresso, the cursor rotated a few seconds and then nothing happened.</p>
<p>Later I checked back on the Expresso website, where there is a paragraph describing the installation process:</p>

<p>You may be prompted to install the
.NET Framework. If you are not taken
there automatically, download and
install the 2.0 or later version of
the framework from the Microsoft web
site. Restart the Expresso install
file after installing the framework.</p>

<p>I was wondering if I have installed Expresso successfully? If not, how shall I do? Do I have to install .NET Framework, and how to?</p>
<p>I also would like to know if it worth to install .NET Framework? My intention to install Expresso is just to have a nice editor for using Regex.</p>

Following is <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5312301/is-there-some-good-visual-regular-expression-editor/5314830#5314830">one of the replies</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>What is "good" depends on what is most
useful to you. For me, though, these
are the key features for a good regex
editor (besides the ability to test
and create regular expressions, of
course, which is a prerequisite to be
called a "regex editor" :-) :</p>
<ol>
<li>Displays matches hierarchically with captured groups.</li>
<li>Explains/analyzes an entered regex in plain English, showing a
hierarchical tree.</li>
<li>Translates your regex into code for a language of your choice.</li>
</ol>
<p>RegexBuddy, as @Max mentioned, does
all these but there is also a free
alternative, Expresso that also does
them very well. These two utilities
are the only ones I have found with
the crucial ability to explain a
regex.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The features sound very attractive to me. But later I found the two are for Windows. I tried to install Expresso, the free one, via Wine, but met some trouble, about which I asked in <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/31259/has-this-windows-application-been-successfully-installed-via-wine">another post.</a></p>
<ol>
<li>So I was wondering if in Ubuntu
there are some applications
comparable to RegexBuddy and
Expresso?</li>
<li>If it is required to install .NET
Framework in order to install
Expresso, is it still worth to
install Expresso on Ubuntu?</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks and regards!</p>

<p>So I was wondering </p>
<ol>
<li>what their differences are? Are they both virtual machines? Or does each belong to some other category?</li>
<li>It is better When to use which for what kinds of Windows applications? For example, those applications that may or may not require .net Framework.</li>
<li>Do they depend on each other? Are
they required to install together?
Or does each work independently
without existence of the other?</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks and regards!</p>

"body": "<p>Successfully running a program requires that three things match:</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>CPU instruction set</strong> (Eg. <strong>x86</strong> in your PC, <strong>ARM</strong> in your mobile phone, <strong>PowerPC</strong> in some Apple Macs, <strong>Java bytecode</strong> for Java Applets, <strong>CLI</strong> for \".Net\"/Mono applications)</li>\n<li><strong>Binary File Format</strong> (Eg. <strong>PE/COFF</strong> \".exe\" for Microsoft Windows, <strong>.jar</strong> for Java Applets, <strong>PE32</strong> \".exe\", <strong>ELF</strong> on Unix/Linux)</li>\n<li><strong>Application Programming Interface</strong>; (Eg. <strong>POSIX</strong> on Linux/Unix, <strong>Cocoa</strong> for Mac OSX, <strong>Win32</strong> on Microsoft Windows, <strong>Base Class Library</strong> for \".Net\"/Mono applications).</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>You can increase the chance of matching all three by having emulators/interpreters (for other CPU instruction sets), by having extra file loaders (for foreign file-formats), and having additional programming libraries providing more APIs.</p>\n\n<p>Note also, that some processors can natively execute more than one instruction set; a PC quite often has <strong>x86</strong> and <strong>amd64</strong> instruction sets; an <strong>ARM</strong> processor can execute four: <strong>ARM32/Thumb/Java bytecode/ThumbEE</strong>. Some operating systems can provide more than one API natively too (Microsoft Windows provides <strong>Win32</strong> and <strong>POSIX</strong>).</p>\n\n<p>For everything else you need extra software. For running Java programs you need the three parts listed above to make it work: a Java Virtual Machine program to <em>run</em> the bytecode; a way of launching Java programs, and a Java Classlibrary for the programs to call. \"Java\" is a brandname here for several separate technologies originally developed by Sun, but to a user they are often downloaded as one.</p>\n\n<p>The same applies for \".Net\", which is a marketing brandname for several different technologies originally developed by Microsoft: The <strong>Common Language Run-time/Base Class Library</strong> (CLR) are the API; <strong>VES</strong> is the loader and <strong>Common Language Interface</strong> (CLI) is the instruction set.</p>\n\n<p>You don't have to download those technologies from Microsoft, from Sun, or from Intel just because they originally invented something. AMD make processors compatible with Intel's standards; both Apache (\"Harmony\") and Google (\"Android Dalvik\") both make a Java-like suite; and Mono provides a CLR/CLI/VES suite. The important thing is that everyone uses the same standards, making them compatible. A DVD disc will play on any DVD player that meets the standard, and an HTML webpage will rendering in any Web Browser meeting the HTML standards.</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mono</strong> is a CLR/CLI/VES suite that can run on Mac OSX, MS Windows and Linux.</li>\n<li><strong>Wine</strong> is a Win32 API implementation that can run on Mac OSX, MS Windows and Linux.</li>\n<li>You can run <strong>Mono</strong> on top of <strong>Wine</strong>, on top of any operating system.</li>\n<li>You can run <strong>Wine</strong> on top of <strong>Qemu</strong>, on top of any CPU architecture.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>So <strong>Mono</strong> makes CLR .exe applications run, and <strong>Wine</strong> makes Win32 .exe applications run. The only thing in common is that the filenames end in \".exe\"; the contents are completely different and incompatible, so you need the <em>right</em> one.</p>\n\n<p>Just like a Python interpreter will error when presented with Perl (and vis versa), a CLR interpreter will error when presented with x86+Win32, or JVM+Java bytecode. If you can post a link to the particular program that you're wanting to run, myself or somebody else should be able to tell you the exact instruction set, file format and API it was designed for, and what you need to install on Linux to run it. Hope that helps!</p>\n\n<p><em>(Sometimes you might even need both. For example, the <strong>Openbve</strong> train simulator is C# and compiled to PE/COFF+CLI+CLR, but can optionally use C binary plugins compiled for PE/COFF+Win32+x86. In this case, you need a Win32 version of Mono under Wine. If the CPU architecture is also, different that would need emulating; so Mono under Wine under Qemu).</em></p>\n",

<p><strong>Other steps taken:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>I tried plugging it into different USB ports.</li>
<li>I tried plugging it into one of the root ports on the PC.</li>
<li>I ran <code>badblocks</code> on the device and it came up clean.</li>
<li>I tried wiping the partition table before formatting - no difference.</li>
<li>I have an external USB 2.0 1TB hard drive that runs fine and can perform large transfers without incident.</li>
<li><code>smartctl -T normal /dev/sdX</code> fails, saying "Terminate command early due to bad response to IEC mode page. A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting."</li>

The rest of the time I'm running with just the laptop screen. I can configure my panels (and a few misc things like Conky) fine with dual monitors, but then when I run with my laptop only things look messed up (multiple top and bottom panels, etc). If I set things up for a single monitor, then things aren't set up when I'm using dual monitors.</p>
<p>What I want to do is be able to define things like my gnome panels in a user choosable (or automatically selected) to get around this. </p>

<p>I followed this article <a href="http://maketecheasier.com/auto-mount-your-ntfs-partition-in-ubuntu/2009/04/14" rel="nofollow">auto-mount-your-ntfs-partition-in-ubuntu</a>. </p>

<li><p>In the option for the specifying the name for the ntfs drives, i specified my own names, the names by which the drives were usually mounted.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I didn't try to uninstall the package, as I thought that might be harmful and could be fatal. </p>
<p><strong>Now, when I restarted my Ubuntu, it just doesn't restart.</strong><br>
It stays in an infinite loop, i guess and even the login screen doesn't showup. </p>
<p>Please help me, and if something is not clear in the question, let me know. Suggest any possible way, I can get my Ubuntu (10.04) back and running, with my packages as they were configured.</p>
<p><strong>EDITED:</strong> I ran Ubuntu in the recovery mode, and it showed the following output on the console twice and then went off to the same ubuntu logo as earlier on. </p>

<p>The error that I can see is that I incidently typed the mount location of a drive to <strong>/sda/Silver Spoon</strong> and that is causing trouble.</p>

<p>I want "None" under Visual Effects (on the Appearance Preferences), but when I reboot it reverts to Normal. I've tried uninstalling Compiz but that clearly upsets the gods because then I lose my title bars. Googling for help on this produces answers involving the Visual Effects option, which is all ghosted out once I've uninstall compiz. Not only that, but the keyboard is ignored in all windows unless only one window is open (actually, it might be just the window the mouse is currently over). So if I google for help and the answer it is to type something into Terminal, I cannot do this until I quit the browser. </p>
<p>I installed another instance of Ubuntu from the same CD, which is working fine.</p>
<p>It seems to me that something else is perhaps trying to load/use compiz it when I reboot, and if it's not there it has this title bar problem. There's nothing obvious in my "Startup Applications" list.</p>
<p>Edit: I just created another user, and for this user the desired setting sticks, suggesting it's a per-user setting/problem, not a system wide one.</p>

And I have installed the latest Firefox 4.0 on both the operating system. However when I click the organize tab button on windows, I can see the firefox personna theme applied in the background as shown in the screenshot below.</p>

<p>And here is it installed in ubuntu 10.10</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/qL098.png" alt="Firefox 4.0 - Ubuntu 10.10"></p>
<p>As you can see from both the screenshots, the firefox 4.0 theme in ubuntu cannot be seen under the organize tabs page. Also the firefox button is missing in the ubuntu 10.10 system. Although the theme can be seen in ubuntu when browsing the web. It is only in the tab organization page that I dont see the firefox personna theme applied but just a dull grey background.</p>
<p><strong>Update</strong>: I am running firefox 4.0 final version in windows 7 and firefox 4.0 RC in ubuntu 10.10 installed using the firefox-next ppa. </p>
<p><strong>Update</strong>: I have submitted a feedback as suggested by ændrük. :)</p>
