<p>I am having with the NetworkManger Applet 0.8.1 on Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64. It (or NetworkManager or my wireless driver) seem to crash occasionally, which means I lose all network connectivity. How can I debug NetworkManager and the applet on startup and login? I want to know what is causing the problem so that I can fix it or file a bug report.</p> <p>Edit: <a href="http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/Debugging" rel="nofollow" title="Debugging NetworkManager">This page</a> provides some good details about debugging the NetworkManager daemon, but I'm still having trouble with the applet (e.g. the applet crashes, I lose my connection, I restart NetworkManager and use commandline utilities, regain my connection, but no applet comes back). </p>

<p>I like all of my music to be in one place - my music partition. However, when I purchase music from Ubuntu One I have to physically move my music from the <code>~/.ubuntuone</code> folder and into my music partition.</p> <p>Is it because of the feature of syncing purchased music to all devices that there is a separate folder? It's a great feature, no doubt, but I still find myself navigating to that folder to move things myself.</p>

<p>I'm needing to setup a basic web user account on my ubuntu 10.10 server to host web pages. This account should be limited to access only the necessary directories on the machine. I setup the following account but nothing happens when I try to log into it:</p> <pre><code>:~$ groupadd -g 1005 webgroup //I then changed the group and permissions of a current user I had already created :~$ sudo usermod -g 1005 -s /bin/false -d /home/webuser/ webuser </code></pre> <p>When trying to login using this account I enter the username [webuser] and the password but it just redirects me back to the login: prompt. I tried resetting the password but still have the same problem.</p> <p>Can someone either tell me what I'm doing wrong, or suggest another method that would achieve the same result (if not a better one).</p> <p>It sounds like I do not want the user to be able to login at all. However, (my grasp on this concept is apparently very small so bear with me) doesn't the user have to be logged in for web requests to be received by that user? In other words, web requests are received and interpreted by the user who is logged in at that time (correct?). If this is a continuously running server and is always turned on in our server room, then shouldn't the logged in user be my 'webuser' I just created in order to limit access to individuals trying to hack in?</p>

<p>I'm trying to resize a dialog window from a Java application (Thinkorswim). Oddly, the main application window doesn't suffer from the same issue and can be minimized/maximized without a problem.</p> <p>Currently, the settings dialogs for Thinkorswim are ridiculously big. Output from xwininfo shows that the window is 895x13037. There is no Minimize/Maximize buttons in the title bar.</p> <p>I'm on 10.10 using Gnome with Metacity + Compiz. Dual monitors off an Nvidia 9800GT.</p> <p>Things I've tried:</p> <ol> <li><p>Setting window size rules in Compiz for the window type specified when you "grab" the window.</p></li> <li><p>Force resizing using wmctrl (i.e.<code>$wmctrl -i -r 0x04a0373c -e 0,0,0,895,895) </code></p></li> <li>Alt+click and moving to the bottom of the window to resize for lowe-right corner, but there is no resize cursor.</li> </ol> <p>Any other possibilities? I thought the swing toolkit just used the system's look and feel to size windows, so I'm stumped. Should I just contact the developer?</p>

<p>This morning, I started up to find all sorts of disk errors going on on boot, so I started up the Live CD and fsck'd my Linux partition. This fixed a whole lot of stuff, so I then rebooted. </p> <p>All's well and the boot goes fine, except instead of my automatic login to desktop, I'm at the default login screen. I can see my normal username, except my password now doesn't work (showing in a split second Authentication Failed or something similar then returning to the user list). Clicking Automatic Login on the menu just flashes nothing and returns to the user list. </p> <p>Trying to login through tty doesn't work either.</p> <p>Does anyone know how I could fix this and login as my normal user again?</p>

<p>My machine no longer resumes properly after hibernation. However, it used to until recently.</p> <p>When trying to figure this out, I've seen lots of people say that hibernate doesn't work with encrypted home directories. But that can't be right - I've had en encrypted directory since it was default, and my machine used to resume. And doesn't everyone have an encrypted directory by default now - surely hibernate would never work then!</p>

<p>So one of the things that really made text editing with vim easier for me is switching the caps lock and escape keys, which it turns out I can do in the GUI keyboard settings. But now when I'm using the Colemak keyboard layout, the caps lock key is mapped to a backspace, whereas I want it mapped to either caps lock or escape. Is there an easy way to change this? </p>

<p>Presently I use two application indicators showing a keyboard:</p> <ul> <li>input methods (iBus)</li> <li>keyboard layout</li> </ul> <p>Is there a way to make them merge into one single indicator icon ? What I have in mind is the equivalent of the messaging menu (gathering all that is related to communications) or the sound menu (gathering all the controls for sound).</p> <p>If it is too complicated to merge the indicators, is the merge planned for an upcoming Ubuntu release?</p> <p>I am on Ubuntu 11.10 with Unity as my environment.</p>

I tried changing the following lines in server.conf</p> <pre><code># Configure server mode and supply a VPN subnet # for OpenVPN to draw client addresses from. # The server will take 10.8.0.1 for itself, # the rest will be made available to clients. # Each client will be able to reach the server # on 10.8.0.1. Comment this line out if you are # ethernet bridging. See the man page for more info. server 10.9.0.0 255.255.255.0 </code></pre> <p>But when I restart OpenVPN it is still getting the address 10.8.0.1. Is this the right way to do it?</p>

<p>I'm a relative newbie to Ubuntu (10.04). I'm converting from Windows to Ubuntu, and the last piece of the puzzle is installing a substitute for Microsoft Money; e.g. KmyMoney. I have installed KMyMoney 1.0.4 using KDE 3.5.10 from the repositories but there is a more recent version available from the KMyMoney website (4.5.3 for Platform KDE4). From SPM, it looks like I have installed KDE libs 4c2a (which I assume is KDE4)</p> <p>I've tried "Software Sources/other sources" and added a PPA site but it didn't work. What is the correct specific procedure for downloading this other software? And on a related question, what is the difference between the KDE desktop and the standard gnome desktop, and, if I install KDE4, how do I select one or the other at boot? Can I run KMyMoney in gnome (do I need KDE)? Thanks</p>

<p>Hiya, I just unsynced one of my folders but had hoped the data would remain in the cloud until deleted - which is, quite obviuosly, not the case. So right now I'm trying to sync the whole folder again but I'm curious <strong><em>if there is a way of keeping the data online although I deactivate the sync option on my Netbook</em></strong> / Ubuntu 10.10. I tried to find information on this in the FAQ but couldn't... I'm thankful for any help! :)</p>

<p>Recently, I bought a 3G HSDPA modem from Cell C (South Africa). it is a ZTE MF190 capable of 7.2Mbps up and 5.76Mbps down.</p> <p>So anyway i noticed usb_modeswitch does not support it. The details are as follows:</p> <p>before switching: 19d2:1224 after switching: 19d2:0082</p> <p>So the question is how to switch this modem? which I will provide as an answer.</p>

When I boot into ubuntu I have two Hard drive icons one labeled DELLUTILITY and the other labled as recovery on my desktop. These really annoy me. I can unmount them but I'm worried that this will cuase a problem to my computer or even mess up windows when I boot into it.</p> <p>What can I do or should I do? </p>

<p>Bit of an annoying one - I was trying to fix the jaggy edges on my wobbly windows a little while back and I ended up somehow completely disabling all of my pretty stuff. I believe I was trying to replace an openGL driver with another using command line and now somehow I have no driver at all :(</p> <p>When I run Briquolo it runs at about 2fps. Just did that as a test so it seems I can run OpenGL stuff, just extremely poorly, which suggests my graphics card is pretty much redundant in my machine.</p> <p>Is there a program or package I can run to check/reinstall it?</p> <p>Thanks a lot for any contributions.</p>

<p>I installed a font called Caribbean Island for some web development, but decided that I didn't like it. I later found out that Chromium was replacing the fonts on some webpages (such as all gawker sites), and it looks very ugly.

<p>I would like to set up a custom application (a separate profile of Firefox browser in my case) to be fired instead of screensaver. I am using Gnome desktop environment. Technically it doesn't have to be a screensaver (xscreensaver, gnome-screensaver). What I want is for the application to be run whenever no keyboard/mouse input has been received for N minutes and to disappear (or minimize) after pressing a key.</p> <p>Is it possible?</p> <p>EDIT: Originally I've asked about Firefox only, but I would be fully satisfied with any other reasonable browser (like Chrome?).</p>

<p><strong>Is it possible to set up two different Gnome sessions to be started at boot time?</strong></p> <p>As it is now (and by default in any Ubuntu installation) a gdm login screen is presented after a few minutes of booting. After I log in, it's possible to use the "Switch user" functionality and have a second Gnome session running (for another reason). Then, both sessions are accessible by pressing <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>F7</kbd> and <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>F8</kbd>.</p> <p>Moreover it would be great if both sessions used different settings (different users) for automatic logging in.</p>

<p>As a Laptop user, I'm sure that a lot of people, even the ones using Netbooks would have already gone through this problem. Especially when listening to podcasts, and using it as an example, the sound might have loud moments and quiet moments, one person speaking loud and the other speaking very quiet in the same episode. Thereby, I always wanted the sound to be compressed system-wide, and I just noted the other day, that in Windows, some Realtek drivers already offer this function.</p> <p>We have already a pulseaudio plugin for equalization system-wide, and although it still has problems like not letting us change its values and listen the change in real time, or cracking the sound while changing pulse volume, I do love it and use it. Now I'm just missing something to keep the sound around 0db (or near the volume level you're using) as a leveler plugin for pulseaudio.</p> <p>Any suggestion?</p>

<p>It sounds like a simple question but if it was I wouldn't be asking it. I can obviously do this by opening all the folders in nautilus and pasting each one individually but the computer is the robot not me (I'm talking about 500 files). </p> <p>So is there a way of doing this more efficently by gui or command line? either is as good as the other.</p> <p>If it makes you feel better you will be saving a poor "V" key from severe punishment. </p>

<p>My laptops virtual memory(RAM) is very low. I run Ubuntu 10.4. I uninstalled many software programs but still it does not seem to help. I have not installed the regular updates in a couple of months now because of low space. Is there a way of doing a clean-up on file duplications, unnecessary temp files, and unused files that will ease up some space. I never experienced low memory issues when I was running Windows and the painful Vista. I can't see that it should be a problem now.</p>

<p>I would like to know if my Intel i965 card can use Compiz effects. I heard it was blacklisted and needed a fix by <code>xorg</code>. Is the fix available in 64-bit 11.04? I'm a new Windows migrant, so take it easy on me.</p> <p><strong>Update</strong></p> <p>I know it is going to be released in April, so I'm digging around for hardware compatibility issues. Does that mean when the 11.04 when it is released, I can use Compiz? Also I tried 10.10 Netbook live USB and appearance window showed that 'Mutter isn't working'. Finally, I plan to buy a modem, can it work out of box or will I need to tweak something, if so how?</p>

<p>I have just added the PPA 'ppa:bean123ch/burg' with a view to installing Burg, a graphical boot manager. In the Software Center, after having clicked on 'Install' for burg-pc, I have a pop-up window titled 'debconf on <em>my computer name</em>', asking me to configure BURG.</p> <p>It has to entry areas. One, which is blank, label as "Linux Command Line" and another, which already has "quiet splash" in it, is labeled as Linux default Command Line.</p> <p>What should I do ? Should I choose the default, as suggested on <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1513509" rel="nofollow">this thread</a> on the Ubuntu Forums ?</p>

<p>I've been having trouble with tags not being read on the first try.</p> <p>Say I rip a CD to MP3, tag it properly (typically both ID3v2.4 and ID3v1.1 tags) with Picard and/or Puddletag, then move it to my Music directory so it is synced with U1. The files will all sync, but 1 or 2 tracks off each album will show up as "Unknown Artist" in the Android application. It doesn't matter if I wait minutes or days, the tags never get scanned or fixed. </p> <p>The only thing that works is moving the affected files to another folder temporarily then moving them back so they are uploaded again.</p> <p>Now this isn't a showstopper, but it's an annoyance that I have to re-sync probably 10-20% of my music because the tags aren't scanned properly on the first try. This has happened consistently since I first signed up for the service last year.</p> <p>Is this a known issue or do I seem to be the only one affected?</p> <p>Thanks</p>

There is a lot of applications out there, but none of these seems to be able to import all my pictures and organize it in the hierarchy I arranged them in with folders and subfolder like Picasa does it.</p> <p>Is there an application, preferably for the GNOME desktop that can do this?</p>

Here is the ERROR: <em>Encrypted private directory is not setup properly.</em> I have also installed btrfs utilities.</p> <p>So are there any solutions/workarounds to gain access to $home on different partition.</p>

<p>I'm running Ubuntu 10.10, and am trying to add the <a href="https://stackapps.com/questions/83/stackapplet-stackoverflow-meets-the-gnome-desktop">StackApplet</a> to the panel.</p> <p>The steps I'm following are, just to be sure I'm not doing something obviously wrong:</p> <ol> <li>Right-click on the top panel</li> <li>Click 'Add to Panel'</li> <li>Select 'StackApplet' from the menu dialogue that appears.</li> </ol> <p>Doing this causes a small, roughly 1px<sup>2</sup>, grey square to be added to the panel, but with no indication of <em>why</em> the StackApplet isn't responding/loading. I've tried adding to the panel, then restarting <code>gdm</code> and also adding to the panel and then restarting the system. Neither approach seemed to achieve anything.</p> <p>I've also completely removed/purged, and then reinstalled, StackApplet via Synaptic in the hope that might fix any dependency issues, to no avail..</p> <p>Obviously there is further information needed to answer this question, but at this stage I don't know enough about <em>what</em> information might be needed, or, in most cases, how to <em>find</em> it. I'll do my best to add any information requested in comments, though, to try and solve this.</p> <p>My thanks in advance, for any and all help and guidance anyone can offer...</p> <hr /> <p>Questions I've read through prior to asking:</p> <ul> <li><p><a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/16408/stack-applet-was-not-starting-automatically">Stack applet was not starting automatically</a></p> <ul> <li>Don't seem to have the file: <code>~/.xsession-errors</code></li> <li>Didn't have, but did create, the file <code>~/.config/autostart/stackapplet.desktop</code> with the contents suggested in the accepted answer.</li> </ul></li> <li><p><a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/29329/cant-add-to-panel-nor-delete-panel">Can&#39;t add to panel nor delete panel</a></p> <ul> <li>Haven't tried reinstalling <code>gnome-panel</code>, yet, mainly because I've read elsewhere that this may cause a world of pain. If that's wrong, I'll happily give it a go, though.</li> </ul></li> <li><p><a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/1974/how-can-i-add-the-network-manager-applet-to-the-panel-after-removing">How can I add the Network Manager Applet to the panel after removing?</a></p> <ul> <li>Tried re-adding the notification area to the panel, which worked (in that it added the notifcation area), but didn't resolve the StackApplet problem.</li> </ul></li> </ul> <p><hr /> <strong>Edited</strong> in response to @EvilPhoenix's answer:</p> <blockquote> <p>StackApplet is run via a different system. run StackApplet from Applications > Accessories. It will then turn itself on then put itself automatically into the system tray</p> </blockquote> <p>I don't appear to have StackApplet available in the Accessories menu:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/uN6Ij.png" alt="Screenshot showing the Applications &gt; Accessories menu."></p> <p>Though I <em>do</em> have StackApplet installed (according, at least, to the Ubuntu Software Centre):</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/AorDW.png" alt="Screenshot of the Software Centre, showing StackApplet is installed."></p>

<p>I want to install Ubuntu on a Lenovo ThinkPad T500 that I've got. However, due to some licensing and warranty issues, the recovery section on the disk (the one that enables the "ThinkVantage" button) must remain intact. I install Ubuntu on a dual-boot with a Windows XP partition, and when in Windows, the ThinkVantage button must work.</p> <p>Did anyone experienced problems with this, have any advice, or know of precautions that must be taken to ensure this?</p>

If the installation directory is a system-owned directory, you may need to sign in as the administrator or "root" account. If you do not have administrative access to this machine, you may wish to choose a different installation directory, preferably one that is listed in your PYTHONPATH environment variable. For information on other options, you may wish to consult the documentation at: http://packages.python.org/distribute/easy_install.html Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again. </code></pre> <p>Help! </p> <p>Abraham</p>

In most cases, whether I click Cancel or enter my password, the login form gets auto filled anyway.</p> <p>How do I get rid of the popup? I want it to auto login each time, not ask for my system password. The dialog box never appears for any other apps.</p>

<p>I installed ubuntu on my windows machine and during the installation time, I followed the first instruction which is side by side install ubuntu or something. now I can boot windows and ubuntu both pretty nicely. But I am wondering where the ubuntu installed? since I check the disk usage through the file manager on windows, nothing seems to changed... Thank you </p>
