How do I download this to my computer? Banshee's Amazon MP3 does not seem to open the Amazon Cloud Player pages, and the Amazon Cloud Player website keeps asking me to use their downloader program (which didn't work, perhaps too old).</p>
<p>On a side note, I can download the files individually from the Amazon Cloud Drive website, but that is not an ideal solution. I want to click a few buttons, download the whole album at once, and import it into Banshee (like it used to, before the Cloud Drive stuff).</p>

<p>I would really like to be able to settle on Ubuntu One, but I can't find a way to share pictures/photos like I can with DropBox. DropBox has a "photos" folder where I can put up pictures and a link to share those pictures as a shared gallery can be created from right clicking on the folder in Nautilus. Is there a way to share pictures, or are they simply treated like any other files in Ubuntu One. If the latter is the case consider this a feature request.</p>

33180 | 1 | null | 2011-04-02T19:40:47.963 | 3 | 6991 | <p>I used to have a dual boot between Ubuntu (lucid) and Windows 7, but wanted to upgrade my Windows to 64 bit, so I installed the new Windows, which naturally wrote over the MBR, and so I attempted to repair it using the following guide: <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>I had a lot of trouble following it, but managed to get the system to boot to some grub command line, instead of Windows, which I thought was useful. Then I did something screwy and now when I boot I get a grub rescue command line.</p>
<p>So I follow the instructions on that same page related to rescue mode, but am a bit confused. If I do ls, I get:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>(hd0) (hd0,msdos1) (hd1) (hd1,msdos5) (hd1,msdos1)</p>
</blockquote>
<p>If I attempt to list the contents of these partitions, the only one that works is (hd1,msdos1), all of the others say "unknown filesystem." Examining the contents of this partition, it appears to contain my Ubuntu home directory.</p>
<p>In any case, I found some combination of commands that do something:</p>
<pre><code>set prefix=(hd1,msdos1)/boot/grub
set root=(hd1,msdos1)
insmod /boot/grub/linux.mod
linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sdb1 ro
initrd /initrd.img
boot
</code></pre>
<p>It then looks like it's going to work, but I find myself in some kind of prompt which calls itself <code>busybox initramfs</code>. I try various things, but can't figure out how to run the command <code>update-grub</code> as recommended.</p>

Since there is actually no Windows installation on my computer, I can't access the Boot Camp Assistant to tell OS X to boot to the Windows partition by default.</p>

<p>Hello, </p>

<p>How can I fix this? As an alternative route, is there another way to launch matlab without the MATLAB launcher icon? </p>

33202 | 1 | 92469 | 2011-04-02T23:42:33.590 | 4 | 634 | <p>Several of the comboboxes that I use regularly (the box to select syntax highlighting in the gedit statusbar, boxes for choosing smart playlist criteria in Banshee, etc) require me to click on them with the mouse, scroll down for awhile, then click on the item that I want. Being able to type into these boxes and have the list jump to the first matching entry would be a nice time saver.</p>
<p>So I'm wondering, has this been implemented in Gtk+ 3? If not, is there a bug report somewhere that I could subscribe to? And is there a technical reason that this hasn't been implemented, or is it a design decision. Since this behavior is common in all major web browsers, I'm sure I'm not the first person to think of this, but a few minutes of Googling didn't lead me to anything relevant.</p>

33212 | 1 | null | 2011-04-03T00:27:48.797 | 10 | 29197 | <p>I often have to make designs for internet-use. I have had <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/fireworks/">Fireworks</a> for years and it suits my purpose. These are the details I like in it:</p>
<ul>
<li>Good tools for moderate image manipulation (cutting, cropping, color changes, overlaying one image with another, blurring, etc.)</li>
<li>Possibilities to draw other objects easily (squares, lines, circles, shapes)</li>
<li>Easy options to apply textures, shadows, gradients, and other effects.</li>
<li>Preview of JPG / GIF / PNG export, easy quality settings -> useful when exporting for the web.</li>
<li>Ease of dragging, resizing, and moving objects (images, shapes, text) around on a canvas</li>
<li>Ease of working with vectors and bitmaps at the same time</li>
</ul>
<p>So I guess those are the main qualities I like a lot in Fireworks. Now that I use Ubuntu I've tried Gimp and Inkscape, and some others, but I can not find all of the aforementioned qualities. Maybe it's me, but Fireworks still rules when it comes to these things, IMHO. So I run it under Wine. But that's really a pain... it's slow and behaves erratically. </p>
<p>Is there anybody who has found a good replacement for Fireworks? Or knows a program that might fit my needs? Thanks!</p>

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install digikam2 kipi-plugins2
</code></pre>
<p>When running the Update Manager, I am informed:</p>
<pre><code>Not all updates can be installed
Run a partial upgrade, to install as many updates as possible
This can be caused by:
* A previous upgrade which didn't complete
* Problems with some of the installed software
* Unofficial software packages no provided by Ubuntu
* Normal changes of a pre-release version of Ubuntu
</code></pre>
<p>I click 'Close' rather than 'Partial Upgrade', and I can then select which of the updates to install. However, some are greyed out, including some "important security updates": Complete Generic Linux kernel, Generic Linux kernel headers and Generic Linux kernel image. Also, tortoisehg PPA updates from another PPA are greyed out.</p>
<p>How should I go about making sure the core Ubuntu system and my other packages installed via PPA are updated whilst still having digiKam installed (and preferably updated via PPA, too)?</p>
<p>I've been using Ubuntu for a while, but am not familiar with all the ins and outs of package management.</p>
<p>If I should include output from apt-get, please let me know. Thanks.</p>

<p>The top five packages in the screenshot are greyed out. It seems like packages from the digiKam PPAs I've added are blocking(?) packages that would otherwise be updated. Ideally, I would like to use the PPAs concerning digiKam only for digiKam itself (and its actual dependencies) but not other packages such as the nVidia driver and transmission and whatnot, and allow other standard packages from Ubuntu 10.10 to be used as normal.</p>

Users with sudo privileges are not present in /etc/sudoers, so this looks a little bit exotic.</p>
<p>Was the source code of 'sudo' modified to look to other configuration files ? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>

"body": "<p><strong>UPDATE</strong>: A note about using locate's <strong>regex option</strong> vs the shell's <strong><a href=\"http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#Filename-Expansion\">filename expansion</a></strong> in relation to locate's args ... </p>\n\n<p><strong>SHELL FILENAME EXPANSION</strong><br>\nWhen you type <code>locate /bin/b*</code> (note there are no quotes), several things happen. </p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>First, <em>shell filename-expansion</em> will expand the special <em>shell pattern charecter</em> * (This is because the * is unprotected, ie. there are no \"double-quotes\") </li>\n<li>This resulting expansion is a <strong>list of filenames</strong>. which is perhaps very long... This list is passed to <code>locate</code> as many individual commandline args. </li>\n<li><code>locate</code> then tests each of these args against each of the files in its database, and outputs matches. </li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>Take note however, that 'locate' has no concept of the current working directory. It only matches your args against the <em>fully-qualified</em> file-names in its database.<br>\nThis means that it will match both <code>/bin/bash</code> <strong>and</strong> <code>/home/user/bin/brackets</code><br>\nYou have some degree of control this way, but locate's <em>regex search</em> offers more; as do some other of locate's options. </p>\n\n<p><strong>LOCATE'S REGEX OPTION</strong><br>\nWhen you type <code>locate -r \"/bin/b.*\"</code> different things happen than do with simple args.. (<em>shell-expanded-args</em> are just a list of simple args) </p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>The <code>-r</code> option tells <em>locate</em> to treat your arg as a regex pattern. </li>\n<li>The quotation marks protect the * from shell filename-expansion. It means that the * and the dot . are now <em>special regex characters</em> </li>\n<li>Being regex, you can very easily tell 'locate' to match its database entry in various ways: eg1. <code>locate -r \"^/bin/b.*\"</code> produces file names beginning with <strong>/bin/b</strong> ... eg2. <code>locate -r ~/\"bin/b.*\"</code> produces file names beginning with <strong>/home/user/bin/b</strong> .. Note that the ~/ is <strong>not</strong> protected by \"quotation-marks\" and is therefore subject to <em>shell tilde-expansion</em> which converts ~/ into /home/user/ </li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>Summary: \"shell filname expansion\" is quite different to 'regex' </p>\n\n<p>Now back to the original post:</p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<p><code>locate</code> typically lists the entire database to stdout, so to limit it to a particular directory you need to filter it... You can do this via locate's options. </p>\n\n<p>You can use locate's regex capability, rather than just shell-globbing ...(<code>locate /dir/myfile*</code> is shell-globbing)...</p>\n\n<p>From <em>info locate</em>: <code>-r</code>,<code>--regex</code> </p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>\"... (regex) matches are performed against the whole path name, and so by default a pathname will be matched if any part of it matches the specified regular expression. The regular expression may use <strong>^</strong> or <strong>$</strong> to anchor a match at the beginning or end of a pathname.\"</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>note: -i = ignore case<br>\n. . . . . -r = regex<br>\n. . . . . ~/ will be expanded by the shell to /home/user (when ~/ is not in quotes)<br>\n. . . . . <strong>'\\ '</strong> (baskslash+space; no quotes) is a literal space (to avoid shell expansion). You can put the string in quotes, but be sure to leave the <strong>~/</strong> outside the quotes: <code>~/my\\ regex</code> or <code>-/\"my regex\"</code> </p>\n\n<p>eg. <code>locate -ir ~/\".*\"la\\ bella\\ vita</code> is the same as <code>locate -ir ~/\".*la bella vita\"</code> and will search your entire home directory for \"La Bella Vita\" occurring anywhere. </p>\n\n<p>You can also limit the search to just the file <strong>name</strong> but using the <code>-b</code> or <code>--basename</code> .. in which case the regex start-of-line <code>^</code> applies to only the basename...</p>\n\n<p>I most commonly find myself using <code>locate -bir</code> </p>\n\n<p>PS.. <code>Locate</code> is so fast, that I have <strong>never</strong> used <code>find</code> ... nor have I used nautilus search (too slow) </p>\n\n<p>With 'locate', if you are looking for something which is newly added, just run <code>sudo updatedb</code> to refresh locate's database...

<p>Recently, we have heard a lot about different powerful tablets and smartphones with operating systems such as Android or iOS. Now fortunately we see Ubuntu 11.04 will be available for tablets too. My question is that whether this version of Ubuntu will be available for smart phones with phoning features too? I mean can we have it on smart phones such as Samsung Galaxy Tab1?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance. . . </p>

If I hold down the Super key, I see numbers on the the app icons (including apps that are already open). If I hit the number for an app that is already open (say Firefox), it opens all my Firefox windows in a small version. </p>
<p>At this point I can actually interact with the small versions of the Firefox windows and use Alt-Tab to switch between them. But what if I want to select one of the Firefox windows to be normal size? I know I can click on it to do that, but how do I do it with the keyboard.</p>

<p>The top one is the default icon that's used for the Application Shortcut, the bottom is the AskUbuntu lens - so my question is, how can I use the icon that's used for the AskUbuntu lens. </p>

(NB. I want to stream everything to my hifi (games, music...), so streaming files is NOT a solution)</p>
<p>I tried a lot of things with vlc, but none of them were successful.
I tried a few inputs for vlc, but I couldn't figure out how to refer to my soundcard</p>
<ul>
<li>alsa://</li>
<li>alsa://hw:0,0</li>
<li>alsa://pulse (works, BUT it's the microphone, and not the soundcard)</li>
<li>v4l2:// --v4l-adev="/dev/dsp" (my computer does NOT have /dev/dsp)</li>

The 30GB partition will sort of be my permanent ubuntu partition. My question is when installing 11.04 on the 28th, how many sub-partitions are needed in the 30GB to enable a reinstall if the need arises (swap, ubuntu data & settings)?

I used to have Google Chrome as my default browser, and after the upgrade, this default was changed to Firefox. Note that when I go to the Google Chrome settings and to the Firefox setting it seems that Google Chrome is set as my default browser, but whenever I click on a URL from outside a browser it's Firefox that comes up and not Chrome.</p>
<p>Any help will be much appreciated.</p>

<p>When I navigate the menu by clicking the Ubuntu button at the top left (the equivalent of the start button on Windows), I can see all the application shortcuts are categorized according to what type of application they are. But when I look at the shortcuts from where they're actually being read from (/usr/share/applications), they all appear in one big folder with no indication of how Ubuntu/Gnome is categorizing them into their own unique categories.</p>
<p>How does this work? I'd like to be able to easily modify where shortcuts are located/appearing in the menu, as well as have the ability to easily add new shortcuts and manually categorize where they should go. Is this possible?</p>

<p>To be more precise, I would like whatever appears from the ask ubuntu lens to be below the actual applications (for example if I write gedit, the application should be on top and the questions about it below)</p>
<p>The way it is now creates a rather "important" problem : since some time is needed to search askubuntu and return the answer, dash keeps changing sizes every time I press a new letter - making it impossible for me to hit the one I want.</p>
<p>EDIT : In case anyone hasn't noticed, the latest update has fixed the problem, putting applications on top of custom lenses. </p>

33460 | 1 | null | 2011-04-04T12:08:14.890 | 4 | 5738 | <p>I was given a HP Probook 4720s as a work laptop, over the last 2 years I've predominantly used Ubuntu as my OS for work and home, but recently have needed to use Windows 7 as it controls the fans correctly. </p>
<p>I am now at the point where I want to try and resolve this issue. I haven't asked a question before for help as I can nearly always fulfill my queries with a search engine.</p>
<p>So here are the outputs from lspci/lsusb/lsmod not sure what is required so it's a starting point and also a link to the hardware from hardinfo.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.issathen.co.uk/hardware/4720s/hardinfo.html" rel="nofollow">Hardinfo output</a>, <a href="http://www.issathen.co.uk/hardware/4720s/lspci.txt" rel="nofollow">LSPCI Output</a>, <a href="http://%20www.Issathen.Co.Uk/hardware/4720s/lsusb.txt" rel="nofollow">LSUSB</a> and <a href="http://%20www.Issathen.Co.Uk/hardware/4720s/lsmod.txt" rel="nofollow">LSMOD</a></p>
<p>It has been suggested to me that Ubuntu one sync daemon could have been the issue but I've tried quitting this to no avail, I have also tried using the CPU Demand Frequency to it's lowest setting 933mhz but the fans <em>still</em> keep going.</p>
<p><code>/proc/acpi/fan</code> is totally empty which I am guessing is that the fan hasn't been detected.</p>
<p>The sensors program detects temperatures but does not detect the speed of the fans.</p>
<pre><code>andy@lappy:/proc/acpi/fan$ sensors

andy@lappy:/proc/acpi/fan$ acpitool -f
Fan: not available
</code></pre>
<p>I'm guessing it's an ACPI issue but from lack of good results / Google foo I cannot find a solution.</p>
<p>I have tried a few fixes from the ubuntu forums which I am failing to find links for at the moment but none of them have been useful yet.</p>
<p>Just to add this happened from a clean install so no unruly processes as mentioned in other posts.</p>
<p>Open to try just about anything, I will reinstall if I need to.</p>

I have found a lot of answers to this question on the internet, tried many, but all failed one way or another. Therefore I dare to ask once again in the hope that someone here could explain it simply :)</p>
<p>Pre-conditions:</p>
<p>In my institute, we have a Samba server. In Windows, it is accessed by going to <code>\\xyz.220.131.233\</code> and entering the login <code>abc</code> and the password <code>def</code>. </p>
<p>In Ubuntu, I was able to do exactly the same using Nautilus, pressing Ctrl+L and entering <code>smb://xyz.220.131.233/</code>. It then asks for the login and the password and connects. I can even drag a folder from here to the 'Places' and have a shortcut to the remote location. </p>
<p>So far so good. I've just installed Matlab and want to open this remote location. Trying to <code>cd</code> to <code>smb://xyz.220.131.233/</code> returns </p>
<blockquote>
<p>Cannot CD to smb://xyz.220.131.233 (Name is nonexistent or not a directory).</p>
</blockquote>
<p>A Mac user in my group told me I first mount the location, but he didn't know how to do it. </p>
<p>Is it true and how do I do it? </p>

33498 | 1 | 33510 | 2011-04-04T18:07:57.997 | 1 | 532 | <p>I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on my 64-bit laptop, and I have Adobe Flash 10,2,161,22 installed. </p>
<p>The vast majority of the time, I've no problems with flash videos in terms of both video and audio. But sometimes, I'm having problems with sound. Here's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuB5ttrid1I" rel="nofollow">a random example</a>. For this one, the first two seconds are fine, but after that, when the interview starts, I can only hear 'squeaks', which I'm guessing is some kind of distortion of the actual sound. There's absolutely no problem with the video throughout. The problem occurs both for Firefox and Google Chrome, the two browsers installed on my computer.</p>
<p>Do I need to install some special audio codec? I couldn't find anything about this by searching on the web. Thanks!</p>

<p>Having passed all but 3 of 800 tests run by <a href="http://jagriffin.wordpress.com/2010/08/30/introducting-grafx-bot/">the grafx bot</a>, I thought it reasonable to set the above registry entry to true.
