Apache is a group of volunteers who do far more than just an http server.
Calling the script apache2 (<code>apachectl</code> is <code>apache2ctl</code> and so on) is very, <em>very</em> restrictive.
How about keeping everything "homogeneous"? The configuration file is, on every distro <code>httpd.conf</code>. Not in Ubuntu. And a lot of stuff like this concerning the Apache "httpd server" configuration / installation. What's the point?</p>

$ uname -a

32848 | 1 | 32940 | 2011-03-31T15:13:26.920 | 11 | 23659 | <p>In the <a href="http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.6/doc/man/man7/X.7.xhtml#heading7">X documentation</a> I read that the <code>Width</code>, <code>Height</code>, <code>Xposition</code> and <code>Yposition</code> coordinates must be specified in terminal characters when using:</p>
<p><code>gnome-terminal --geometry=WidthxHeight+Xposition+Yposition</code> </p>
<p>If I use as input coordinates those that I get from a <code>wmctrl -lG</code> output (not sure if <code>wmctrl</code> uses pixels, terminal characters or something different as geometrical units), I don't get the expected results. I.e. the geometry coordinates output by <code>wmctrl -lG</code> and the ones a user can specify with <code>gnome-terminal --geometry</code> turn out to be different.</p>
<p>Is there anything I am doing wrong? Any thoughts?</p>

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get gpilot-install-file to work in a cron job. It requires a display (why??), so I gave it a "--display=:0.0" option. Then it complained it couldn't get the PDA list, so I gave it a "--pilot=MyPDA" option. </p>
<pre><code>/usr/bin/gpilot-install-file --later --display=:0.0 --pilot=MyPDA myfile.pdb
</code></pre>
<p>Now I get this:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>(gpilot-install-file:4959):
gpilotd-CRITICAL **:
gnome_pilot_client_install_file:
assertion `self->gpilotddaemon!=NULL'
failed</p>

<p>Is there a way to get this to work, or is there some other way to get files into the install queue for gnome-pilot from a cron job?</p>

When I get flood of lines from <code>grep</code> and that exceeds the height of the window, I want to quickly scroll back to the position where I typed the command after the prompt. I can do so if I had opened a fresh terminal before I type the command, and just go to the initial position. But if keep using the same terminal window, I have to manually find the position. <code>Ctrl+l</code> is not an answer because it just scrolls, and the contents of the terminal remains.

<p>The problem with debug symbols <a href="http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/l/linux/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">located here</a> is that debug symbols for 2.6.35-25 linux kernel server image does not match with the binary I get from lucid back-ports repository:</p>

<p>I was using it previously, since I installed Ubuntu 10.10. I found out recently that this was causing problems with wired connectivity (a problem for another thread) so I switched to the Broadcom B43 wireless driver, which solved that problem. One problem that it raised is that wireless was often quite slow, especially if I had two thing simultaneously downloading. To verify this I testing download something in three areas of the city that I live in, each using a different ISP and the results were the same</p>
<p>So, I want to switch back to the Broadcom STA proprietary wireless driver, but when I activate it it doesn't work. It reads "This driver is activated but not in use".</p>
<p>What can I do to make it work? I've tried adding "wl" to /etc/modules and have followed advice from <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1604868" rel="nofollow">this thread</a> but it hasn't worked of them have worked</p>

32955 | 1 | 32957 | 2011-04-01T00:59:15.393 | 0 | 149 | <p>Here's my situation:</p>
<p>I have two ASUS Celeron 800mhz 512MB systems that are currently running XP SP3. Our POS system is Windows only, and will NOT run in Wine. (well, it runs, but not functionally) I have other machines running Ubuntu with VMWare Player hosting XP as a virtual machine for the POS. No issues there.</p>
<p>But these two older systems don't have enough ram to run even Puppy Linux and XP in a virtual machine, much less Ubuntu or Xubuntu with the VM. (and they cannot be upgraded)</p>
<p>Presently, my option seems to be (other than sticking with very slow XP systems) to try to create a stripped down custom XP to fit it into less memory so I can run it in Xubuntu or Puppy in a VM.</p>
<p>What I would "like" to do, is run Xubuntu (or Puppy) and serve the whole VM over the LAN.</p>
<p>I thought maybe a thin-client setup was the ticket, but I don't want to serve the whole Linux OS if I can help it. These desktops still need to run LibreOffice, FireFox, and Thunderbird. So I'd like to just serve up the VM to each. Also, it is quite possible, to have both desktops trying to run the POS simultaneously, so I'll need separate instances of the VM for each client, if not each user on them.</p>
<p>I don't mind if the VM/POS is a little slow. But the main desktop needs to be reasonably responsive for other tasks, hence why I want to switch these two to Linux.</p>
<p>Any ideas?</p>

32960 | 1 | 32970 | 2011-04-01T02:54:11.370 | 4 | 2609 | <p>I'm running a fairly fresh and vanilla 10.10 install, built from scratch about a month ago on an Acer Aspire 5742 laptop. I use openbox as my window manager and run neither the KDE nor Gnome desktop stacks. I haven't yet figured out how to get the system to hibernate when low on battery power, so I get occasional power outages.</p>
<p>I've noticed that when my laptop switches over to battery power, my ext* partitions are remounted with the option <code>commit=600</code>.</p>
<p>When I switch back to AC, there is another set of remounts with <code>commit=0</code>.</p>
<p>This is apparent from entries in <code>/var/log/syslog</code> like</p>
<pre><code>Mar 31 14:48:48 gatsby kernel: [414710.189306] EXT4-fs (dm-0): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro,commit=600
Mar 31 14:48:48 gatsby kernel: [414710.324137] EXT4-fs (dm-1): re-mounted. Opts: commit=600
Mar 31 14:48:48 gatsby kernel: [414710.749636] EXT4-fs (dm-2): re-mounted. Opts: commit=600
Mar 31 16:35:58 gatsby kernel: [421128.882072] EXT4-fs (dm-0): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro,commit=0
Mar 31 16:35:58 gatsby kernel: [421129.083283] EXT4-fs (dm-1): re-mounted. Opts: commit=0
Mar 31 16:35:59 gatsby kernel: [421129.724136] EXT4-fs (dm-2): re-mounted. Opts: commit=0
</code></pre>
<p>The <code>mount</code> manual explains the meaning of the <code>count</code> option with respect to the ext3 filesystem thusly:</p>
<pre><code>commit=nrsec
Sync all data and metadata every nrsec seconds.
The default value is 5 seconds. Zero means default.
</code></pre>
<p>What does this mean, exactly? It seems to imply that writes may be cached for up to 10 minutes. Does this mean that there could be filesystem corruption, or that some changes may go unsaved if my battery power runs out?</p>

<p>I've been using the new Network Indicator in Natty as installed from the this article:</p>

<p>Aside from looking a lot better than the default network selection applet that ships with Natty currently, I've found it's also a lot faster at picking up wireless networks and connecting to them.</p>
<p>I notice that it doesn't have support for more complicated security protocols like WPA2-PSK Enterprise, etc. Is this the reason it's being omitted from Natty?</p>

<p>I'm monitoring a server via <code>top</code> and would like to have some of the information (at least the first row e.g. the load average) always on my active workspace.</p>
<p>I could reduce the terminal size and have it <strong>always on top</strong> and <strong>always on visible workspace</strong> but this still takes to much space.</p>
<p>What I would like is a possibilty to add some of the <code>top</code> information to a notifier in the top panel.<br>
Is there any setting in terminal I could use, or are there any other possibilities?<br>
I don't need to use terminal if there is any other application that can be used to show this information.</p>

[Window Shortcut Group]

Exec=gnome-screenshot -w

<p>I have the .desktop file of the Gmail shortcut, so I can edit it to add the static quicklists, my question is, what do I put in the Exec= line to have it open in my browser so I can make Compose, Contacts, and Calendar go to the right place?</p>

<p>It worked perfectly except with the "Ambiance" theme, which recently became Ubuntu's default theme:</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/pv7Q9.png" alt="Graphical bugs when putting Gnome panel on the right side"></p>
<p>As you can see, the shadow is repeated vertically, which makes an awful impression of tiles. Other problem, shadows are printed horizontally even though the text is vertical, you can see "14" ad "Fri" shadows in dark behind the vertical text.</p>
<p>Is it a known bug? If not, how to fix it?</p>

<p>Certain windows are not opening in the last position/size I used them at. Opening "compose a message" with evolution through the message menu on the toolbar opens a window that is always in the top left of my screen. Opening Firefox 4.0 always opens maximized, even if i last used it in "windowed" mode. Other things I've tried that won't remember my custom positions: ccsm, terminal, gedit, sound recorder, calculator. Some other stuff works fine like banshee, empathy, shutter, deluge.</p>
<p>Is this a bug? Is there a way to make these applications open in their last used positions/sizes?</p>

<p>If however I open kontact assign the shortcut there, it will not work when I start kontact again (or the software alone).</p>

There's a fairly comprehensive hardware compatibility test, at least as of 10.10, that seems geared towards accumulating a database of ubuntu-friendly models, components, and peripherals.</p>
<p>I must apologize for my vague description of this app; if someone knows what I am talking about and can provide the actual name of the menu item, that would be wonderful. I just recall running it from the LiveCD before installation, after which point I switched over to OpenBox from gnome and haven't looked at the menu system since.</p>
<p>Marco's answer mentions the <a href="http://laptop.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/laptop" rel="nofollow noreferrer">laptop testing tracker</a>, which seems like it could be a front end to this hypothetical DB. However, there are currently only a few reports on that page.</p>
<p>Is this something we can expect to see made available in the near future? Are collected test results available at a different page/site? It would be a tremendously beneficial resource for the community.</p>

<p><code>(process:10142): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.

<p>I tried reinstalling cardapio and I'm still getting the problem.
Since both are written in python I was guessing it must be a problem with python but I can't see which update could have caused this problem. I'm at a loss as to what to do, since nothing in my searching has proven useful (a bunch of unanswered forum posts for what seems to be a similar, but non-fatal error).</p>

<p>NB: Even in windows the autorun works only the first time the modem is plugged in, afterwards if modem is plugged in, Win7 recognises it but i have launch the GUI to be able to use the modem unlike other modems in which the GUI pops up everytime the modem is plugged in. </p>

Just make sure that if you're moving files about that you associate the proper chown/ghgrp commands so www-data can access them (respectively if they need to be accessed by the www-service)</p>\n\n<p>To illustrate with an example, I run nightly database backups of my pgSQL and MySQL databases with a fairly thorough PHP script. Its executed by my www-data user as it compresses, archives, and posts them to a management web-interface. Thus it needs to be accessible by www-data. If i didn't need this to happen; say I were to copy a nightly snapshot of my website to a directory i didn't want my normal users to have access to, I would run this as root.</p>\n",

<p>Is it possible to use host only, then have host (Ubuntu) act as a proxy to provide internet access to the guest (Windows)? If so, how?</p>
<p>I am trying to get the right combination of networking for my VirtualBox Windows client VM (Windows 7). My host is Wbuntu 10.10 (Maverick).</p>
<p>I believe I understand the basic network options (please correct me if I am incorrect):</p>
<p><em>NAT -</em> Host can't communicate with guest but guest has access to all host's adapters</p>
<p><em>Host only</em> - Separate adapter but guest has no net access</p>
<p><em>Bridged</em> - bridge an adapter in the host with the virtual adapter to give the host access to the host adapter</p>
<p>I am trying to give my win guest internet access, but also access the host in a separate network.</p>
<p>Bridged only works when the host is connected to the internet (this is a laptop) so when it's not connected the network is down. </p>
<p>Thanks I appreciate your help.</p>

33068 | 1 | 34917 | 2011-04-02T04:42:21.530 | 2 | 326 | <p>I'm in the process of pricing out and purchasing components for a new computer, and I wanted to make sure that my selections will run as expected in my planned install of Ubuntu 10.10 x64. Right now I'm looking at this GPU and motherboard:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6820707&sku=D69-9800" rel="nofollow">EVGA 512-P3-N982-B2 GeForce 9800 GT Akimbo</a></li>
<li><a href="http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/B003DM5CH8" rel="nofollow">Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H</a></li>
</ul>
<p>I'm including the motherboard just in case I've made some gross oversight and these two components aren't compatible, or my novice-level knowledge of Linux shines through and I've missed something entirely about how the Linux kernel interacts with bits of the motherboard.</p>
<p>One can never be too careful.</p>
<p>My gaming habits are limited to Minecraft and potentially WoW, and to be honest I'll probably have a Windows partition for running WoW anyway until I double the planned 4GB of RAM (I've already selected a quad-core CPU). In any case I'm not the type of gamer who runs the latest games at 1920x1080 resolution with all the settings on max. I'm more interested in smoothness than flashy graphics.</p>
<p>My question boils down to this: <strong>Will this GPU run properly and allow me to play something like Minecraft with a respectable level of performance? Additionally, how will WoW perform?</strong></p>
<p>I would also be greatly appreciative of any random advice that you may have to offer on this matter, as I'd rather not leave any stone unturned before I make my purchases.</p>

<p>I installed Banshee along with the community extensions pack. When I opened the program the first time, I got a long list of extensions to chose from, for example the Zeitgeist data logger.</p>
<p>The second time I started Banshee only half of that list was still showing up! I tried to deinstall Banshee completely by going to Synaptic and selecting "Completely remove Banshee". To my surprise, however, when I then reinstalled Banshee all settings were still there. The extensions list also stayed the same.</p>
<p>What can I do to access all the other extensions?</p>

<ul>
<li>Login <strong>user1</strong> after reboot: sound OK</li>
<li>Login <strong>user2</strong> after reboot: sound OK</li>
<li>Login <strong>user1</strong> then <strong>user2</strong>: sound OK: both have sound</li>
</ul>
<p>but</p>
<ul>
<li>Login <strong>user2</strong> then <strong>user1</strong>: only <strong>user2</strong> has sound</li>
<li>Login <strong>user2</strong> after boot, logout <strong>user2</strong>, then login <strong>user1</strong>: no sound</li>
</ul>
<p>and</p>
<ul>
<li>Login <strong>user3</strong> then <strong>user1</strong>: all is good!</li>
</ul>
<p>In the two latter cases <strong>user1</strong> is getting repeated errors in syslog:</p>
<p><code>protocol-native.c: Denied access to client with invalid authorization data</code></p>
<p>These errors disappear only after pulseaudio is started from <strong>user1</strong> manually in a terminal. Then audio access is fine for both. There is an error <code>module-alsa-card.c: Failed to find a working profile</code> but still sound output is fine.</p>
<hr>
<p>We both are <strong>not</strong> a member of the Audio Group. Deleting <code>~/.pulse</code> from both accounts has no effect on this behaviour. </p>
<p>The issue started in 9.10 Karmic and continued to be there even after an upgrade to 10.04 Lucid LTS. This indicates that some erroneous settings survived the upgrades.</p>
<p>The dependency on boot order of users indicates that some other user specific settings may be involved, but we have no idea where to start searching. From tests with 3 users it seems that <strong>only settings for user2 are broken</strong>.</p>
<hr>
<p>Loading pulseaudio modules <code>module-esound-protocol-unix</code> and <code>module-native-protocol-unix</code> with the option <code>auth-anonymous=1</code> in both default.pa, and system.pa did not change this behaviour. Neither did it help to delete pulseaudio cookies <code>~/.esd_auth</code> and <code>~/.pulse-cookie</code> from both users.</p>

<p>Suggestions 1) to 8) from the <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/33089/what-user-settings-control-audio-access/34423#34423">answer below</a> did not make a change (running pulseaudio in system mode was not possible) but unplugging the external speaker, rebooting, plugging the speaker back in and reboot again from user1 did the trick. </p>
<p><strong>It is still unclear where this hardware information was (erroneously) stored and why it affected only one user account.</strong></p>

I've also read somewhere that ati cards don't work with 11.04 yet. Is it true? When will i be able to test 11.04 then?</p>
<p>P.S.
By not working i mean - Unity doesn't work.
The classic gnome shell works fine.</p>

<p>I have <a href="http://www.spotify.com/int/download/previews/" rel="nofollow">Spotify Linux Preview</a> installed on Ubuntu 10.10 and so far it has worked perfectly for me. In the past few days however, the audio keeps cutting in an out intermittently. I'm not sure whether this is an audio issue, or a streaming issue, or a caching issue. Is anyone else facing the same problem - or know how to narrow down what could be the cause?</p>
<p>FYI, I have also <a href="http://getsatisfaction.com/spotify/topics/audio_problem_in_spotify_linux_preview" rel="nofollow">raised this issue on the official Spotify support forum</a>. I know there's <a href="http://www.spotify.com/int/help/faq/wine/#playback-stutter" rel="nofollow">a similar problem for Spotify being run on WINE</a> that can be solved by changing to OSS from PulseAudio in WINE, but that doesn't seem to be issue here with the native Linux client.</p>

I had thought it must be a issue related to my machine.

I, painfully, edited the sources.list files on all my 3 machines from <code>in.archive</code> to <code>us.archive</code>. And it worked fine.

33139 | 1 | null | 2011-04-02T14:26:38.567 | 9 | 1853 | <p>My touchpad is recognised as a mouse, and for this reason I cannot disable it while I'm typing nor can I take advantage of scrolling and multi-touch features that my touchpad should support.</p>
<p>My machine is a netbook HP Mini 210 1000SA and I'm currently using Natty 32bit, but I have experienced this same issue before with Lucid and Maverick. </p>
<p>I've searched the entire web looking after a solution for this, but I haven't found anything but lots of people experiencing the same problem, including users of different machines.</p>
<p>I really hope that there is a solution for this issue or at least that it will be fixed in Natty, as it is really annoying.</p>
<p>Is anyone able to provide us (me and the hundreds of poor souls with the same problem) a relief? </p>
<p>Thank you very much indeed!</p>
<p>P.S.: Information that might help:</p>
