32480 | 1 | null | 2011-03-28T23:03:30.100 | 3 | 1239 | <p>I recently added another partition to my hardrive where ubuntu was installed to and afterwards when I booted ubuntu I got sent to the grub rescue> terminal. The fix for that was that I had to reinstall grub on the correct partition for ubuntu to boot again. So I followed all the instructions from ubuntu to fix it from the live cd here <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20GRUB%202" rel="nofollow">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20GRUB%202</a> .</p>
<p>After I was done doing that I rebooted and the grub> terminal is now there. I would usually see a list to choose from with my os but Im guessing I have to update grub when I reboot or load the menu list. The problem is I did a lot of research to figure out how to boot from grub> but I cannot find a way to do so.</p>
<p>It is not easy finding a tutorial for doing so and I am completley stuck. I would like to know an easy way to boot into my ubuntu from grub and making the booting as it was before I made the partition. Please any help would be greatly appreciated for I need to get on my ubuntu to start doing some work...</p>

You <em>can</em> but I personally feel it's more convenient to write it to an intermediary, standard image first.

If you're planning to write it to the disk that it's currently sitting on, you'll want to stick it on a separate internal disk, or, worst-comes-to-worst an external disk.</p></li>\n<li><p>The following instructions assume you've moved it to <code>/media/dave/disk.img</code> (<code>dave</code> is an external USB disk)</p></li>\n<li><p>Before you do any serious writing, <strong>make sure you have backups</strong>. It's a cliche thing to say but one typo and there's a very real possibility you'll nuke your system. Assume that things will go wrong and be prepared. CloneZilla can help you take whole disk backups if you have somewhere for that data to be stored.</p></li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>Write the image to a disk of its very own</h2>\n\n<p>You'll want to do something like this. <strong>This assumes you're going to overwrite a whole disk.</strong> If you want to do an alongside-Windows install, don't follow these instructions! Skip to after the bullets.</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><p>Boot into an Ubuntu Live CD and click Try Ubuntu.</p></li>\n<li><p>Mount your the place where your vmdk image is being stored (eg the external USB disk as <code>/media/dave</code>). Do <strong>not</strong> mount the place where you want to write to.</p></li>\n<li><p>Then we go to work:</p>\n\n<pre><code>sudo dd if=/media/dave/disk.img of=/dev/sdX\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>You want to replace <code>sdX</code> with the correct path to your destination disk. The <code>sudo</code> password is blank, just hit return.</p></li>\n<li><p>You can then open <code>gparted</code> or something else and you should see your Ubuntu partition sitting on the disk. You should be able to expand it out.</p></li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>Write the image to a disk alongside another operating system</h2>\n\n<p>This is perhaps an altogether safer way of doing things. The idea is very similar apart from you do a proper install of Ubuntu and then just sync over the files from <code>disk.img</code>.</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><p>Your LiveCD this time will need to be the same version of Ubuntu as your virtual install.

32514 | 1 | 32515 | 2011-03-29T11:19:00.023 | 2 | 2566 | <p>I have a Macbook Pro 5.5 running Ubuntu 10.04, and I've noticed that with some wifi networks, but not all, I'm unable to reconnect after coming out of suspension. I've tried both Network Manager and Wicd management daemons, and both get through validation, but get hung up on "Acquiring IP address...". The only solution I've found is to reboot the machine, after which it acquires an IP address very quickly.</p>
<p>What's the underlying issue here? What would be a more efficient way to resolve the problem?</p>
<p>EDIT: I've noticed that if I open Wicd and manually press "Connect", it fails to acquire an IP. However, if I do nothing and let it automatically try and connect, it acquires an IP and connects just fine...</p>
<p>EDIT: Note, this problem is dependent on the wireless router I'm trying to connect to. I have no problems with a basic Linksys wifi router, or the wireless router simulated by an Android wireless tethering app. However, old crappy Cisco/Comcast/Verizon <em>home</em> wireless routers always seem to give me headaches with connecting <em>only</em> after I suspend. If I reboot, I can connect to them immediately.</p>
<p>EDIT: I tried adjusting the DHCP Client setting in Wicd.</p>
<p>Originally, it was using dhclient, and a failed connection attempt would create a log like:</p>

<p>Noting the recommendation to try dhcpcd instead, I installed, restarted the wicd service, and set it to use dhcpcd. Unfortunately, the problem remains, with an even less helpful log:</p>

<p>EDIT: I'm 99% convinced this is some sort of bug with the proprietary Broadcom STA driver and how it handles power management (i.e. suspending), since rebooting my entire system fixes it, and I've never experienced the problem on Linux devices with non-Broadcom wireless drivers. Which is frustrating...because that doesn't leave me with much recourse since I can't find any open source alternative to Broadcom's crappy driver.</p>

I'm running 32-bit natty and have refreshed my software sources, installed all updates, etc. Is this app not available because I live in Australia? Is there any way to make it appear so i can spend my $$?</p>

32549 | 1 | 54380 | 2011-03-29T15:41:05.600 | 5 | 3060 | <p>I've successfully installed Adobe Digital Editions using Wine in Linux Mint 10, and it appears that the program operates normally for the most part, as I can open eBooks and view my library. However, in Windows, when I plug in my Nook, the Nook shows up in ADE in my library view. It does not do so in Linux. I can simply copy the files to the Nook, as Linux treats it as a Mass Storage Device, but I download library books, and I think ADE has to do something special with the books for them to be recognized by the Nook as having the correct copyright info. So, I have 2 questions.</p>
<p>1) Is it possible to get the Nook to show up in ADE?</p>
<p>2) If not, is there a sufficient workaround? For instance, get ADE to "authorize" the book, then simply transfer it over to the Nook as Mass Storage Device via command line or drag and drop. Or does ADE even need to do this? </p>
<p>Note: I have used the <code>Configure Wine</code> program to map <code>/media/nook</code> to the <code>D:</code> drive, but it still doesn't work.</p>

32552 | 1 | 32578 | 2011-03-29T15:50:47.790 | 17 | 60862 | <p>Currently I am backing up gigabytes and gigabytes of data from a live server to a backup server using an rsync/ssh combination script, allowing for automated operation every night with a cron job.</p>
<p>The problem I am having is with permissions.</p>
<p>Running rsync with -a mode copies over the user:group and filemode, which are currently 54122:games and -rwx--S---.</p>
<p>In order to be able to execute the files on the backup server (don't ask me why the employer requires this), I've had to run a time- and cpu-costly (because of the sheer amount of data transferred) chown() and chmod() setting every file/folder to www-data:www-data and permissions of 755.</p>
<p>Is there anyway I can setup rsync to forcibly set each file/folder to www-data:www-data and 755 or am I looking at this problem from the wrong angle?</p>
<p>I guess I could run -rltD instead of -a (which is equivalent to -rlptgoD) but then what happens to new files? What permissions and owner:group settings do they receive?</p>

I know if you try to sync a single iPod with iTunes on 2 different computers it won't let you. But I'm not trying to sync with iTunes on both computers. </p>
<p>Background: I use a Mac at work and Ubuntu at home. I'd like both computers to contain all of my music. I don't want to manually copy files by mounting the iPod as a disk. Is this possible? I'm fine with somehow declaring one machine as the "master" library (i.e. doing all downloads/purchases/deletes on that machine, then syncing the iPod to it and then syncing the second computer to the iPod.)</p>
<p>I'm using: iPodTouch 4g, Mac OSX (10.6.7 Snow Leopard), Ubuntu Maverick</p>

<p>I have some contractors that are located overseas. I would like to dedicate each of them a single machine, so that all the work they do will be performed on one of my 'local' machines (through remote access).</p>
<p>Ideally, I'd prefer a free solution that will allow each of the users to securely connect to a remote machine, view 'X' (meaning, be able to open programs like Evolution, send emails, write computer code etc) and also open a terminal, run scripts etc. Ideally, the solution should be fast (meaning, I don't want a long delay between every punch on their keyboard to when their screen gets updated) and secure.</p>
<p>I should also have the ability to access the machine they're working on and block their access, in case they're doing something they're not supposed to.</p>
<p>any ideas?</p>

For some reason fonts look like they're not getting subpixel smoothing in Netbeans only, for the rest of the applications they look perfect.</p>
<p>Look at how ugly the screenshot is:</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/T8VbI.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
<p>It's not just the code area but every font in the application looks this way. I was looking around and apparently adding the following line to the <code>.bashrc</code> file should fix the issue but in my case it didn't:</p>
<pre><code>export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd'
</code></pre>
<p>It think it might only affect Java based applications, but I haven't been able to test another Java app to check the fonts out.</p>
<p>Does anyone know what can I do to fix this? How can I make Netbeans use the system font? </p>

32628 | 1 | 32750 | 2011-03-30T06:15:53.440 | 5 | 930 | <p>First, I'm not sure if this is the correct venue to be asking this question, so if not, I apologize. </p>
<p>I'm a big fan of Tomboy notes and the ability to sync them with UbuntuOne. I like having my notes accessible across all of my computers, and would like to be able to do the same thing on my phone. I know there is a client for Android, but from what I could tell, no such client exists for iPhone. </p>
<p>I'd been meaning to play around with learning some iPhone development anyway, so I did some reading on iOS development, spent some time, and wrote an application that does most everything that I use Tomboy for. It can link to your Ubuntu One account, sync notes back and forth, and it supports the majority of the formatting (bold, underline, highlight, etc.) options. I'm sure that someone more experienced in iOS development could have done a better job, but it seems to work well enough for what I need.</p>
<p>I'd like to put it in the apple app store for free and make the source available (as I'm sure it could stand to be fixed and refined by someone more knowledgeable than myself), but I'm not sure what the rules are for such a thing. Right now I've just got it on my own computers and haven't gone to the trouble to pay to enter the Apple developer program because I have some questions about whether I can do so, before I spend the money.</p>
<p>As it stands right now, I've used the Ubuntu font in the application (font.ubunu.com), as well as some mentions of Ubuntu itself and the Ubuntu One logo. I suspect the use of the font is probably okay, but I have my doubts about the logo, so some rebranding might be necessary. More than that, am I even allowed to access the Ubuntu One Notes service in this way? I know Ubuntu has some mobile applications for syncing other Ubuntu One services (music, contacts, etc.), but I couldn't find mention of notes, and as I said before, I know that Tomboy and Tomdroid are already utilizing Ubuntu One as a sync destination. </p>
<p>Basically, I was hoping someone might either know the answers to some of these questions, or be able to point me toward someone who does. Obviously I can just continue using this application for myself as it does what I wanted, but I thought it might be nice to make it available for other people and, if someone more knowledgeable about iOS development were so inclined, to improve it.</p>
<p>Sorry this was a bit long, and thanks!

32674 | 1 | 32677 | 2011-03-30T05:04:27.013 | 1 | 7186 | <p>I'm having a problem with calling env from the terminal. I'm running the latest Ubuntu OS. Here's what happens:</p>
<pre><code>$ ls
disarm.ss hereis.ss mat.ss README sg.ss start-test syntax.ss
$ env SCHEMEHEAPDIRS=/usr/lib/csv8.1/i3le sg.ss
env: sg.ss: No such file or directory
</code></pre>
<p>I have checked that the path /usr/lib/csv8.1/i3le is correct. Here are the permissions of the files in this dir:</p>
<pre><code>$ ls -l
total 60
-rw------- 1 dtdannen dtdannen 17375 2011-03-29 23:05 disarm.ss
-rw------- 1 dtdannen dtdannen 9410 2011-03-29 23:05 hereis.ss
-rw------- 1 dtdannen dtdannen 9955 2011-03-29 23:05 mat.ss
-rw------- 1 dtdannen dtdannen 394 2011-03-29 23:05 README
-rwxrwxrwx 1 dtdannen dtdannen 2801 2011-03-29 23:05 sg.ss
-rwx------ 1 dtdannen dtdannen 137 2011-03-29 23:05 start-test
-rw------- 1 dtdannen dtdannen 678 2011-03-29 23:05 syntax.ss
</code></pre>
<p>I can't seem to figure out why env cannot find 'sg.ss'. Is it a problem with permissions? I know you should rarely if ever 'chmod 777' on a file (here I did so on sg.ss), but I just wanted to see if that would make it work. I need to call this command within a python program, not directly via command line, but I get the same error in both cases, so I used the terminal as my example.</p>
<p>Any and all advice is appreciated :)</p>
<p>P.S. I searched SO for at least 20 minutes and couldn't find a similar post. Hope I'm not re-asking something.</p>
<p>EDIT: Tried the same thing but with ./sg.ss instead of just sg.ss (still didn't work, same error :( )</p>

32708 | 1 | null | 2011-03-30T16:55:46.757 | 0 | 966 | <p>I am unable to suspend in a fully updated (as of yesterday, 29 March 2011) Ubuntu 10.10 installation (kernel 2.6.35-28). Following is a list of some of my hardware:</p>
<p>Motherboard: Gigabyte <a href="http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3449" rel="nofollow">GA-X58A-UD3R</a></p>
<p>Video: Radeon <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150504" rel="nofollow">HD-567X-YNF3</a></p>
<p>Initially, when I went to either Suspend or Hibernate the machine would almost go into suspend, but it would never power down. Instead it would bounce back to the login screen. This was due to a problem with the USB3 ports being unable to suspend (noticed this in <code>/var/log/kern.log</code>). Disabling the USB3 ports in the BIOS fixed this issue.</p>
<p>Now Suspend and Hibernate power down the machine. It successfully awakens from Hibernate. However, it will not return from suspend. The mouse and keyboard are not powered and the monitor has no signal. These devices are still not powered after a restart. I must power-cycle the machine. The <code>pm-suspend</code> log ends after it states that it entered suspend (i.e. there is no information any resume code running).</p>
<p>I discovered that <code>acpitool -s</code> suspends the machine and resumes successfully exactly once. The second time the machine will not resume. I am not sure how these two tools handle suspend differently.</p>
<p>UPDATE: the problem was introduced somewhere between 2.6.35-22 and 2.6.35-28. I have both kernels install presently. Suspend works fine with 2.6.35-22 but not with 2.6.38-28.</p>

32722 | 1 | null | 2011-03-30T19:07:58.703 | 6 | 1014 | <p>So I wanted to extend my laptop battery life. After googleing a lot I found many tips and tricks. <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/400/tips-to-extend-battery-life-for-laptops-and-notebooks">Some</a> even in this site as well. Then I found this package in synaptic as well <code>laptop-mode-tools</code>. Now I am not well aware of what harddrive spinoffs are, so I have a dilemma of installing this package as it seems to remove acpi support as well. So my question is, how reliable is this package in battery life extension and what configurations should I use with it ? Also I stumbled upon some posts saying spinoffs may kill the harddrive as well. So can anyone clearify with some configuration tips especially for laptop-mode-tools.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance</p>

<p>I am a software developer by trade (Win OS but I understand Programming language concepts) so I am familiar with code files etc.</p>
<p>I have been using Ubuntu (Maverick) lately for a legacy MacBook which I can speedily do daily tasks such as ask questions on askubuntu and check emails. </p>
<p>What I am looking for is to go some levels deeper into what makes up the Ubuntu OS. Some examples of things I would like to look at are:</p>
<ul>
<li>The finer details of the Gnome UI (and GTK) - which files "drive" the UI and control at a granular level.</li>
<li>More in depth details about how drivers and libraries work together to allow all of my peripherals to work seamlessly when plugged in.</li>

<p>This is one of the most annoying things when using touch technology on PC tablets. This was also my issue with the Android port for PC. People with touch screen device's don't want an annoying cursor to show anywhere on the screen because, it's distracting. Touch technology needs to seem natural and allow the user to interact with objects on the screen much like objects in the physical world. Don't get me wrong, I love Ubuntu and that is all I run on my PC's. However when you see a 2 or 3 year old using an Apple iPad without having to be taught to interface with it, you know you have designed a great UI experience.</p>
<p>It's great to see this coming into reality on Ubuntu keep up the good work.</p>

<pre><code>Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules:
_bsddb bsddb185 dbm
dl imageop sunaudiodev
To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name.
</code></pre>
<p>Im pretty sure i want/need dl. I know it's deprecated starting with 2.6, but it should still be there.</p>
<p>Overall Im finding it very difficult to get 2.6 installed. I would ideally like to replace it (point <code>/usr/bin/python</code> at 2.6) but looking in 2.5 site-packages and seeing symlinks to a 'pyshared' directory, etc. makes me fear that things will break terribly.</p>
<p>I also tried to setup a virtualenv on another, 2.6 capable machine and copied over the virtualenv but it cannot execute the python binary.... idunno. </p>
<p>Im really just trying to get 2.6 installed to run a Django project. Nothing more, so it doesn't have to replace the system python but if it can work, it'd be nice.</p>

<p>I'm not sure if it makes a difference but I'm trying to manage the install using virt-manager so it connects to the host server using ssh tunneling.</p>
<p>The cd seems to boot up ok but it hangs once I click Install Ubuntu and the mouse cursor only sometimes responds. When trying to install i386 I eventually get the following error:</p>
<p>Installation failed</p>
<p>The Installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be run so that you may investigate the problem or try installing again.</p>
<p>Once I press ok I get a LiveCD environment it's not really usable and the gnome-panel keeps disappearing. It looks like the window decorations are missing (maybe it's a graphics problem?). Then the panel completely disappeared.</p>

32812 | 1 | 32838 | 2011-03-31T12:33:03.197 | 2 | 3585 | <p>I have recently managed to convince my mother to let me switch her PC to Ubuntu, and to make her transition easier I want to automate as many tasks as possible for her. I managed to do quite a bit, however there is a script I'd like to leave her with, but, unfortunately I have no knowledge of scripting.</p>
<p>The purpose would be to rename all text files in a folder (mainly Desktop) named e.g. "note*" (w/out extension) as "note.txt" (for interoperability's sake and easy upload to google docs) and move them in a specially designated folder. The commands I'd need would be:</p>
<pre><code>- find files in current folder named note* (and not ending in .txt) and rename them as note*.txt
- move files named note*.txt to /home/username/notes
</code></pre>
<p>Unfortunately I don't know how to put it in script form so I'm asking for help.</p>
