<p>For e.g. I referred to this offer from ebay:- </p>
<p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.in/1TB-W-D-3-0-Passport-External-Portable-Hard-Disk-BILL-/260763580999?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item3cb6b87a47#ht_3869wt_1141" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.in/1TB-W-D-3-0-Passport-External-Portable-Hard-Disk-BILL-/260763580999?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item3cb6b87a47#ht_3869wt_1141</a></p>
<p>This and many similar offers never have any mention of whether or not they support Linux OS. I could see that they support Mac OS.</p>
<p>I am planning to reserve around 450 GB for Ubuntu and say remaining 450 for use with either Windows 7/XP . Would I be able to successfully implement this scenario?</p>
<p>Can I boot Ubuntu directly from this hard disk? Or if not, can this external hard disk be used as a mount point for more than machines which have the same version of Ubuntu installed on it( this would serve the purpose like a normal usb pen drive, right?). In my case I specifically have a PC and a laptop both having Ubuntu 10.04 OS Installed on it. The only diff is that the PC has Win XP installed and the Laptop has Win 7 installed.</p>
<p>Can you please help me on this and suggest me on what features do I need to look in for when I would be purchasing an external hard disk and would want to use it for the above scenario. </p>
<p>In any case if the above scenario can't be implemented, could you please suggest alternative best solutions which can be considered.</p>
<p>Thank you..</p>

I <em>do</em> like them, but I don't like the current mix of scrollbar types as many applications don't yet use those overlay scrollbars.</p>
<p>Is there a way to disable overlay scrollbars (<strong>without</strong> removing the <code>overlay-scrollbar</code> package)?</p>

34219 | 1 | 105507 | 2011-04-09T12:02:32.927 | 4 | 7750 | <p>I am trying to follow the instructions on <a href="http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/devices-power-management/usb.php" rel="nofollow">Lesswatts</a>, to enable <strong>usb autosuspend</strong>.<br>
When I run <code>powertop</code>, it says, that I have a device (USB device 2-6 : 2.4G Multimedia Wireless Kit (Chicony)) that is running 100% of the time. </p>
<p>I don't use the wifi and indeed I've blacklisted the wifi driver, so I am pretty confident I don't need this device. So I set the idle timeout to 2 seconds and </p>
<blockquote>
<p>echo auto > <code>/sys/bus/usb/devices/2-6/power/level</code></p>
</blockquote>
<p>works, but the device is still active. If I try</p>
<blockquote>
<p>echo suspend > <code>/sys/bus/usb/devices/2-6/power/level</code></p>
</blockquote>
<p>then the bash prompt skips ten lines and stops, but the contents of the file is still <strong>auto</strong></p>

<p>It would also be nice if the same applet/widget click just be used to also just start up a blank bug report window too.</p>

This is work fairly well for me, but I want the machines that connect to get specific IPs and names. I would have thought this would be as simple as creating the <code>/etc/dnsmasq.conf</code> file with a bunch of <code>dhcp-host</code> lines in it, but NetworkManager seems to be using a custom configuration (<code>/tmp/randomfilename.conf</code>) instead of the one in <code>/etc</code>. Is there some way to edit the config file NetworkManger uses, or is there some way in the GUI to do what I want?</p>

<p><strong>Update</strong>: Staring <code>php-fpm</code> or <code>nginx</code> works fine. I think <code>nginx</code> isn't aware of <code>php-fpm</code> at all, some link is missing perhaps?

The only way to get it back is to log-off or restart the computer. This is very annoying as you have to close all the work you are doing and log-off or restart the computer.</p>
<p>The Networkmanager icon in the panel is not visible anymore when it quits as shown in the screenshot here.
<img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/5R17t.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
<p>However the hardware icon for the wireless is still on which shows that this is a software problem.</p>
<p>Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there a command or something to restart the networkmanager applet when it quits?</p>

</blockquote>
<p>Prior to using Unity, I had several Gnome Panel Applets running in a panel. I used the Dictionary applet, and the System Monitor applet, among others. While the general "systray" area has been replaced by the "indicator" area, and my Gnome Panel Launchers were migrated to Unity Launchers, there doesn't seem to be an analogy to the more general "Panel Applets" from the prior Gnome UI. I can live without the Dictionary applet, but none of the system monitors written for the Indicator Area are nearly as useful and complete as the System Monitor Applet from the Gnome Panel. How do I get that applet running within my Unity environment?</p>

<p>I have traced out the somewhat indirect path connecting the <a href="http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/menustructure-1.html.en" rel="nofollow">gnome menu system</a> which in turn relies upon the <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/menu-spec?action=show&redirect=Standards/menu-spec" rel="nofollow">XDG subsystem</a> which requires <code>/etc/gnome/defaults.list</code>, <code>/usr/share/application/mimeinfo.cache</code> which itself is generated by update-mime-database(1) which requires that <code>$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS</code> and <code>$XDG_DATA_DIRS</code> be set properly.</p>
<p>Everything seems in order and yet mime-type recognition is not working. This would be tolerable from the shell (because I usually know the mime-type of the file I want to open), but applications like Chrome cannot launch anything properly.</p>
<p>I'm sure I've missed something, and this is on a machine under daily desktop use that was recently updated to Natty Beta 1 (and is current to the repos as of one hour ago). I don't know that the gnome-open failure was caused by the upgrade or followed it during some package installation.</p>

<p>I reinstalled my Ubuntu box with 10.10 (after my dabbing of 11.04 turns out to be a futile experience). The box is clean. I install the typical packages (Google Chrome, Dropbox, build-essentials, ...). </p>
<p>However, now whenever I login into GNOME. The GNOME panels and decorations look weird. They don't like they have the ambience theme on. Even if I choose the Ambience theme of Ubuntu, the theme is not applied.</p>
<p>Currently my desktop looks very ugly. All I want is my default Ubuntu looks back.</p>

<p>Here are some themes I like, but could not find fitting Chromium themes for:
Minty-Freshness
Victory

The Equinox pack</p>
<p>Others are welcome as well. Share plenty!</p>

It worked fine until Vista demanded I buy another license, I imagine the disabling of the battery is a tactic used by Windows to put additional pressure on the person why may be using a non-legitimate copy of their OS. That was the last straw, I installed Ubuntu thinking it may take care of the problem. Love the new OS but the battery issue persists.</p>

<p>What it basically did was to monitor user activity, sound alarm after a predefined period (say 60 minutes), wait another predefined time (say 5 minutes) when user was supposed to take a break (which was recognized as lack of activity), and repeat the whole procedure.</p>
<p>In addition, it recorded the total time user spends on his computer and presented nice charts.</p>
<p>I wonder whether there is a similar application for Ubuntu?</p>

SSH connections require access to your SSH private key in order to authenticate to the server.</p>\n\n<p>Another way to look at it is: bzr always prefers to use ssh to download branches from Launchpad, even if the branch is publicly available. (A bit like the way Launchpad always uses SSL even for public bugs.) Using SSH prevents accidental or intentional interference from other things on the network (firewalls etc) and is generally a bit faster once the connection's set up. </p>\n",

<p>I have the following shell script in init.d that I want to run as a "daemon" (background service with start/stop/restart really) at system startup. There is a symlink in rc3.d. I tried 4 and 5 too. (Ideally this would initialize before graphical login happens and before a user logs in.)</p>
<p>IMPORTANT: the script works 100% as expected and required when testing this with <strong>service MetaLeapDaemon start</strong> and <strong>service MetaLeapDaemon stop</strong>. (This shell script calls a Python program which makes sure the appropriate .pid files are both created at startup and deleted at exit.)</p>
<p>So generally it works fine but now my only issue is why it will not be run at any of the run-levels I tried. I know for sure it isn't run because the log file it normally creates does not get created.</p>
<p>As you can see (by the lack of any uid:gid args in the start-stop-daemon commands) this would currently run only under root, is this forbidden in a default setup?</p>
<p>Here's the script, pretty much your run-off-the-mill daemon script really:</p>
<pre><code>#! /bin/sh
DAEMON=/opt/metaleap/_core/daemon/MetaLeapDaemon.py
NAME=MetaLeapDaemon
DESC="MetaLeapDaemon"
test -f $DAEMON || exit 0
set -e

But it can be more elegant than that.</p>\n\n<p>Ive downloaded and and examined File Roller's source code, and found out that it (thankfully) detects files by <strong>mime types</strong>, <em>not</em> filenames.</p>\n\n<p>So the complete solution could be:</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><p>Make sure you have <a href=\"http://p7zip.sourceforge.net/\" rel=\"noreferrer\">p7zip</a> package installed.

In \"Published versions\", click on the release of your architecture. In the next page, download the *.deb file in \"Downloadable files\".

<p>I don't show the source, because it used to run before, as well as a dozen other programs, and wasn't changed. </p>
<p>You might google for the error-message, and find the advice, to start java in headless mode. This doesn't apply here, because <strong>there</strong>, the idea is, to do graphics stuff on a server, maybe to produce a chart or convert a graphic, which usually needs a display. Then you may specify 'headless', because nothing get's displayed on the server. Here it is the opposite: I want my frame to be displayed, and I have a DISPLAY=:0.0, where my xterm (xfce4 for instance) is running. I even may start ecliplse from the menu. </p>
<p>Similar, the advice <code>unset DISPLAY</code> doesn't fit form me for the very same reason. I <strong>need</strong> to use the display, and it is up and responsive - I'm using Firefox right now on that machine.</p>
<pre><code>echo $DISPLAY
:0.0
</code></pre>
<p>Trying to run from a special input like the verve-comamndline doesn't work either. </p>
<p>It's a mystery to me. Xorg.0.log doesn't show something interesting either. </p>

34495 | 1 | 63018 | 2011-04-11T11:49:45.357 | 2 | 5871 | <p>I've installed my Wacom Bamboo Pen + Touch (CTH-460) in Ubuntu (at least <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/34167/installed-wacom-bamboo-pen-touch-drivers-but-no-dice">on one system, not another</a>) and the pen works well for controlling the mouse cursor. However, I can't get pressure sensitivity to work in GIMP.</p>
<p>I have 4 extra devices in the input devices settings screen now, two of which are the pen and eraser. I've set them both from <strong>Disabled</strong> to <strong>Screen</strong>, and left the default settings intact.</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/EaY1g.jpg" alt="Input Devices settings screen"></p>
<p>However, after saving I still don't see any pressure options in the brush tool's options.</p>
<p>I've also tried setting the mode to <strong>Window</strong> instead, but it makes no difference regarding pressure sensitivity. There are no other modes.</p>
<p>The pressure works out-of-the-box in Blender (grease pen) so it must be something in GIMP.</p>
<p>What can be wrong? Why don't the options appear? How can I debug this?</p>

<p>Until yesterday, my Audiophile sound card was working beautifully. I ran the latest update, and now it doesn't show up under Sound Preferences. (When I plugged in a USB headset, that appeared under Sound Preferences and worked just fine.)</p>
<p>The sound card IS listed under aplay -l.</p>

<p>If I run Alsamixer from the terminal, the correct Audiophile sound card is the one shown.</p>
<p>I'm not sure what to do next. Thanks very much for any help/suggestions.</p>
