31798 | 1 | 31843 | 2011-03-24T01:25:34.840 | 99 | 101107 | <p>I'm running XP in virtualbox cause I need Photoshop and Illustrator. It works great on my 5 year old laptop which is stunning, but there's a minor annoyance when I go fullscreen.</p>
<p>The menu bar is in the bottom middle, and it pops up over the content. Since I use the escape buttons all the time I have no need for this to be there really, and it's really annoying when you try to change windows with the mouse and hit some random virtualbox menu item instead...</p>
<p>I know it's minor, and I can deal with the fact that you are probably just going to tell me to use alt+tab, but I'm just hoping there's some option I have overlooked that can turn off this bar or move it...</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

31803 | 1 | null | 2011-03-21T03:38:21.540 | 1 | 1052 | <p>been trying to get <a href="http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/download/third-party-tools/3rdparty-fs/" rel="nofollow">clamfs</a> working on Ubuntu 10.4. It seems like everything is working, clamfs locates infected files and prevents me from opening these.</p>
<p>But I am having permission troubles with a share that I have created.</p>
<p>My folder structure looks like this:</p>
<p>/.sharedfiles (this is the root directory for clamfs)</p>
<p>/sharedfiles (this is the actual shared folder on the server that my windows clients connect to).</p>
<p>When clamfs is NOT running, I can create and delete folders etc within ../sharedfiles from a windows client.</p>
<p>But when I turn clamfs ON I can only create files and folder immediately within ../sharedfiles.</p>
<p>ie I can create ../sharedfiles/newdirectory</p>
<p>But I can not create ../sharedfiles/newdirectory/somefile</p>
<p>I have played around with the permissions and ACLs but something is just not working.
I should mention that the windows clients are logging into the shared directory without a user. ie they are"nobody" and in the "nogroup" group.</p>
<p>I have set the ACL for both .sharedfiles and sharedfiles as below:</p>
<pre><code>getfacl .sharedfiles/
# file: .sharedfiles/
# owner: administrator
# group: administrator
user::rwx
group::rwx
other::rwx
default:user::rwx
default:user:clamav:rwx
default:group::rwx
default:mask::rwx
default:other::rwx
getfacl sharedfiles/
# file: sharedfiles/
# owner: administrator
# group: administrator
user::rwx
group::rwx
other::rwx
default:user::rwx
default:user:clamav:rwx
default:group::rwx
default:mask::rwx
default:other::rwx
</code></pre>
<p>This is how I have configured my clamfs .xml file:</p>
<pre><code><filesystem root="/home/administrator/.sharedfiles" mountpoint="/home/administrator/sharedfiles" public="yes" readonly="no" nonempty="yes" />
</code></pre>
<p>Any idea on where I am going wrong? I would really like to get this working. Thanks.</p>

<p>Initially I could browse the internet through a wired internet connection but after a recent update even that has stopped working. During boot up I logged on to a previous generic release and thats how I'm able to access wired internet connections now but wireless is still out.</p>
<p>Any idea how I can get back wireless and wired connections to work on the latest release?</p>
<p>I tried installing a synaptic package for the wireless cards through synaptic manager, some linux kernel files were installed. Ever since then I have not been able to connect to the internet. It was on release-28.</p>
<p>I currently log into the release-27 in the GRUB bootloader to use the net.</p>
<p>I´m pretty new to linux so the details that I provide as such maybe incomplete.</p>

<p>I've been following several bugs since Lucid was released:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/563474" rel="nofollow noreferrer">scrollbars are really hard to see with the ambiance/radiance themes</a></li>
<li><a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/537048" rel="nofollow noreferrer">[ambiance, radiance] slider on scrollbar haves zero contrast</a></li>
</ul>
<p>The short of is, I have difficulty distinguishing the scrollbar grabby bit from the trough it lives in. Several "fixes" have been committed with absolutely no change to the contrast in this area (despite bold claims by their authors :@).</p>
<p><strong>How can I increase the contrast of brightness or color between the scrollbar trough and bar, without adding theme specific hacks, or constrain those changes to only the themes I have difficulty with?</strong></p>

<p>What I want to do is just to remove Eclipse and reinstall it, but that was much harder that I first thought. I marked every <code>eclipse</code> package in <code>synaptic packaged manager</code> and selected <code>complete removal</code>, I even deleted the <code>.meta</code> folder in my working dictionary, but when I installed eclipse again. It was as if I hadn't removed anything. Same errors from the <code>plug-ins</code> I had installed before. </p>
<p>Seems like when you install something in linux, files are stored all over the place. Makes real hard do remove anything. So how do I COMPLETELY remove Eclipse, reinstall it and add support for <code>php</code> and <code>jquery</code>. </p>
<p>Thanks. </p>

<ul>
<li>Going to Places -> Connect to Server and select SSH (in GNOME)</li>
<li>Using <code>sshfs</code> in terminal</li>
</ul>
<p>This probably boils down to GVFS (using FUSE) vs. FUSE "directly" (if this is a reasonable comparison). FUSE I somewhat understand what is, but GVFS is a bit cryptic.</p>
<p>Both have advantages and disadvantages for me. The former allows easy access to the GUI and you get the opportunity to create a bookmark, but sends you to the root folder of the remote file system (unless you specify otherwise) and mounts in <code>~/.gvfs/sftp on ... /</code> which an be a bit cumbersome if you want to enter through local terminal. The latter must be done via the terminal (as far as I know) but you can choose which folder you want to "jump into" and one can choose for yourself where this will be mounted on your local filesystem.</p>
<p>One thing that I find very annoying is that Vim/Gvim destroys permissions on files upon writing if I use GVFS. E.g. if a file permissions has 644, this is set to 600 after Vim/Gvim has edited it. I've seen various bug reports from 2008 on this but I still experience it.</p>

31913 | 1 | 194468 | 2011-03-24T20:30:20.467 | 58 | 162812 | <p>I am wondering how to quickly test performance of my 3D graphics. Since <code>glxgears</code> <em>is not benchmark</em> what should I use. Also glxgears sometimes stuck at 60FPS, you cannot even compare before/after driver update (e.g. adding xorg-edgers PPA). Even glxgears doesn't really work out of box.</p>
<p>One possibility is screensavers, but you can't see FPS. I am also not willing to install 600MB <em>nexuiz</em>, specially if I am running on Live-CD. Other 3D games are also very big... Unigine tests are too demanding for opensource drivers (problems with too low OpenGL and probably texture compression (S3TC...)). I would also like to test OpenGL 2.x extentions.</p>
<p>How to quickly test your 3D performance?</p>

To do that, open a terminal by hitting \"Alt-F2\", and typing <code>gnome-terminal</code> into the resulting dialog. Next, hit \"enter\" to launch the terminal. Now, copy and paste the following line into the terminal.</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p><code>sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install git curl -y</code></p>\n\n<p>Hit enter, and now you can just sit back and relax for a few minutes while it installs.</p>\n\n<p>Download and install RVM.\nTo download and install RVM, use the following line of command-line magic.</p>\n\n<pre><code> bash -s stable < <(curl -s https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer)\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Now that you've got that installed, you have to add it to your terminal's path, which tells the terminal where to find all of the commands. To do that, type \"gedit ./.bashrc\" into your terminal, then past the following line down at the very bottom.</p>\n\n<p><code>[[ -s \"$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm\" ]] && . \"$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm\" # This loads RVM into a shell session.</code></p>\n\n<p>Now, close your terminal, and open a new one by typing \"Alt-F2\" and typing in <code>gnome-terminal</code>.</p>\n\n<p>Now you're ready to install ruby itself. But before you can do that, you have to install all the stuff that you need for RVM to install Ruby. To do that, you have to run the following command.</p>\n\n<p><code>sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential bison openssl libreadline6 libreadline6-dev curl git-core zlib1g zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-0 libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev libxslt-dev autoconf libc6-dev ncurses-dev -y</code></p>\n\n<p>You're probably asking yourself \"What the heck does all THAT do?!!\". Well, here's the answer: Mostly has to do with compiling ruby, which you'll do in a second.</p>\n\n<p>To install ruby 1.9.2 (Which is the most recent version as of writing), you need to type the following in your command prompt.</p>\n\n<p><code>rvm install 1.9.2</code></p>\n\n<p>hit enter, and then go grab a snack. This step is going to take awhile. </p>\n\n<p>Now that you've taken your last walk for awhile (Or whatever the heck you just did while ruby compiled), it's time to create a gemset.</p>\n\n<p>One of the nicest things about RVM is that it lets you have multiple versions of Ruby installed, something that you'll want to use as you get further along in programming Ruby. So, here's how to create a gemset.</p>\n\n<p><code>rvm --create use 1.9.2@first-gemset && rvm --default use 1.9.2@first-gemset</code></p>\n\n<p>Congrats! Now, you can test and see if RVM did it's job by typing in the following line.</p>\n\n<p><code>ruby -v</code></p>\n\n<p>It should spit out something like this:</p>\n\n<p><code>ruby 1.9.2p180 (2011-02-18 revision 30909) [i686-linux]</code></p>\n\n<p>Congrats! You've got rvm and Ruby installed successfully. Now, you can install Rails (Or any gem) by typing in this:</p>\n\n<p><code>gem install <gem name></code></p>\n\n<p><em>Note: replace with the name of the gem you're trying to install</em></p>\n",

<p>I am installing an application (a wiki server) on my system but am not doing so through aptitude as I can only grab a tar.gz of the package. This application will really be used by all users so it doesn't feel appropriate to install it in my home directory. Where should I put the folder of files? I would think that /usr/bin is the place, but I usually just see binary and linked files in there, which leads me to believe I should have the folder elsewhere and then drop a link to the executable in the /usr/bin folder. </p>

<p>Now, despite following the directions found at <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/FAQ/WhatToDoWhenSyncdaemonSaysRootMismatch">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/FAQ/WhatToDoWhenSyncdaemonSaysRootMismatch</a> I continue to get the error "File sync error. (local and server roots are different (ROOT_MISMATCH))". Any help would be appreciated.</p>

31942 | 1 | 31952 | 2011-03-25T03:44:03.833 | 4 | 2358 | <p>I was putty user. Putty allows you to select the text which gets copied to clipboard. Now on ubuntu, I am using Terminal to connect host.</p>
<p>I want to sync clipboard and terminal primary selection. So I want some thing like this</p>
<ol>
<li>Mouse selection of text in Terminal updates clipboard and primary selection
(Right now,it just updates primary selection)</li>
<li>Any text copy (Via <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>C</kbd>) outside terminal (some other program) should sync both. Right now it just updates clipboard. e.g. text in gedit</li>
</ol>
<p>I found various programs like parcellite, Glippy, Pastie, Diodon, Clipit. All this programs are excellent but they have 1 annoying feature (atlest for me). These programs updates both primary and clipboard even if I select any text outside terminal via Mouse. I do not want this feature and I am not able to find any means to turn them off.</p>
<p>For example</p>
<ol>
<li>I select text in terminal via mouse</li>
<li>I select text in firefox via mouse <- this will update both clipboard and primary</li>
<li>I press <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>Insert</kbd> in terminal <- this will paste text from firefox where as I do not want this. Mouse selected text outside terminal should not be reflected in clipboard</li>
</ol>
<p>Friends do you have any pointers for me. How can I achieve this.I do not want to use Putty in ubuntu as it has very bad UI.</p>

Then i restarted the system two times and both times I was able to login to Ubuntu. Then I thought I should test whether Windows 7 is working or not, and I was able to login on Windows 7 also. However, this time when I restarted, it crashed, and nothing was displayed on screen. Then I used the Ubuntu Live CD and I think I made a mistake. I went to the terminal and wrote the command:</p>
<p><code>sudo grub</code></p>
<p>and then</p>
<p><code>sudo apt-get install grub</code>.</p>
<p>Now the system is not booting from both windows and the Ubuntu CD.
So now what should I do? Please reply asap.</p>

At first everything was fine, it worked perfectly in both Windows and Linux. However, now, when I boot Kubuntu, computer doesn't produce any legible sound. Whenever there should be any sound (like on system start or with some notifications), speakers just fizz at the top of their voice. It works fine in Windows, so it shouldn't be a hardware problem. What can be wrong?</p>

32007 | 1 | 56510 | 2011-03-25T16:47:20.223 | 52 | 35973 | <p>I installed a plain Ubuntu 10.10 on my computer and installed some software via apt-get. Last week I managed to break everything and just started from scratch, and I need to reinstall my software. Is there some way to create a list with all the packages that I have installed manually?</p>
<p>So that it would give me a list like <code>texlive, ...</code> and not <code>texlive, texlive-dep1, textlive-dep2, ...</code> and all the standard packages removed?</p>
<p>If I could somehow figure out which programs out of the regular install I have removed, that would be awesome too!</p>
<hr>
<p>Update 2015-05-23: I now use Ansible as configuration management on my systems. There I specify the packages to install. This serves the goal, installing all the programs on a fresh system, even better. So this question might be the entry into some light configuration management.</p>

<p>Assuming we choose the "Ubuntu Desktop Edition (safe mode)" from the login screen, firstly what does this not load in relation to not safe mode? and secondly is there a way of finding out which modules differ between them, and then selectively starting them to find out which one is causing the problem?</p>
<p>Effectively doing the transition from safe mode to normal mode step by step.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

<pre><code>*** System restart required ***
</code></pre>
<p>Now, I'm wondering what system component sets it and why it gets set? Using ksplice I'm aware that it can also be reset so the notice is not shown - also, since I use ksplice and after inspecting my logs there was no security upgrade of the kernel in some days, I'm wondering why it is now shown. Is the recent dbus update for 10.04 the reason?</p>
<p>Last but not least: how do I read that "flag", e.g. in a script?</p>

32017 | 1 | 32026 | 2011-03-25T18:20:09.633 | 3 | 2418 | <p>I had Ubuntu 9.04 and I want to upgrade to 10.04. It is dual-booted with Windows Vista. I decided to do a clean install from a live CD. The live CD wasn't able to detect the partitions and instead just gave me the option of erasing the entire hard drive. I booted into Windows and erased my Ubuntu partition hoping that the live CD would recognise the free space. It doesn't, and now I can't boot into Windows either since I deleted the grub settings. </p>
<p>So:</p>
<p>How can I get my live CD to recognise the partitions?
How can I boot back into Windows before this is fixed?</p>
<p>I am also restricted in that my only resource is the live CD (and internet) until the end of this weekend.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

Is there anything specific I need to do in order to get Malwarebytes to run? I am using the program to slave HDD's from windows machines. Being a technician it would make my life infinitely easier if I could get this to work.</p>
<p>I guess I should mention that I successfully installed malwarebytes, but I can't get it to run. I double click the icon and nothing ever happens.</p>
<p>Update:</p>
<p>I looked at the appdb for wine and saw that it works with the older version 1.34. I installed winetricks as suggested and it works fine with the older version. I am now looking up how to update the definitions manually, which shouldn't be a problem because I've had to do that in windows a few times.</p>

In the Additional Drivers program, it offers me "Experimental 3D support for NVIDIA cards". I went ahead and installed this to see how it works. Seems at the very least good enough. It runs Unity just fine.</p>
<p>What exactly is being installed with the experimental driver? How is it different from the default driver that Ubuntu uses when it detects an Nvidia card?</p>

32084 | 1 | 32087 | 2011-03-26T11:12:01.970 | 68 | 13272 | <p>I've been wondering why most Ubuntu projects use <a href="https://launchpad.net/">Launchpad.net</a> instead of <a href="https://github.com">GitHub</a> for the Version Control and bug tracking system. Is there a specific reason as to why Ubuntu uses launchpad (and hence <code>bzr</code>)?</p>

<p>Is it possible to use another network operator on this modem on ubuntu or Is it also locked for ubuntu?</p>
<p>I am able to access internet using it via the default network operator, but not by another operator.Is it my fault or Its also locked on ubuntu? But I have entered the correct settings.</p>

<p>and it also shows the n/w operators availabe on doing gprs n/w analysis</p>
<p>on doing AT^CARDLOCK?
i got 3,0,0
which mean that this can't be unlocked</p>
<p>on connecting to internet it keeps searching network and never connects to internet(except default operator)</p>

32094 | 1 | null | 2011-03-26T12:20:42.870 | 1 | 7706 | <p>Hi I bought a new Seagate 2TB <strong>external</strong> hard disk. I opened the drive's application in my virtual windows, did product registration using the application present in it. I have few questions on how best to use it.</p>
<ul>
<li>The drive by default has some files and folders - setup.exe, System Volume Information, USB 3.0 PC Card Adapter etc,. I copied all the files to my laptop. Is it safe to delete these files? It has a dash board for windows which allows to tune power options, test the drive etc. Will I be able to use the dash board if I put back all these files and mount on windows again?</li>
<li>I want to partition and format the hard disk. Data I like to store is
<ul>
<li>Around 10 to 20 GB Files - Virtual box images.</li>
<li>Around 4GB Files - Dvd images.</li>
<li>Other Movies and personal Files.
What is the best filesystem to store very huge files like 10 to 20GB files. So that they are written and accessed fast also best uses the drive's capacity. </li>
</ul></li>
<li>If I leave one of the partition as ntfs and others to different files systems, will it be able to mount on windows and Will I be able to use the device's dash board?</li>
</ul>
<p>Note: I dont need any encryption for my data.</p>
<p>Any other advice on using the hard disk is also welcome.</p>

<pre><code>Assuming drive cache: write through
</code></pre>
<p>Which is showing up after performing <code>sudo shutdown -r now</code>. </p>
<p>I restarted remotely but the computer did not restart. And I can't restore my remote connection to it. I want to be sure that it won't happen again. When I physically approached the computer and turned on the display, I found 3 lines saying:</p>
<pre><code>Assuming drive cache: write through
</code></pre>
<p>All those messages were because of my sdd disk. Later I checked and found that sdd is my external USB 1TB disk.</p>
<p>Any ideas on how to prevent such situations in future?</p>

I have noticed that though Gnome has a fixed menu (Gnome panel) at the top of the screen, similarly to Mac OS X, it is impossible to click a menu item after moving the mouse all the way up, to the very edge of the screen. It looks as if there is a one pixel border between the menu and the screen top edge. Is it possible to remove it?</p>
