<p>I would like to boot to a rescue shell, but the grub2 menu is hidden</p>
<p>I cannot change the grub default config, because I have read only access to the harddisk.</p>
<p>I will now try and manually mount the harddsik readable to change the grub option.</p>
<p>Is there a secret key combination to:</p>

<li><p>show the grub menu anyway during boot?</p></li>
<li><p>make the splash go away during boot and see the interesting console output?</p></li>
</ul>
<p>EDIT: </p>
<p>The answer is to hold the shift key, after the Grub Message "Starting Grub" appears.</p>
<p>This is also a good article about understanding grub2 or switching form grub to grub2:</p>

We need to wait about 30 seconds after it loads up and then need to hit refresh on the browser for the application to load properly.</p>
<p>What's the best way to slow this down a bit. Ideally I'd like it to come up after we get a 200 success code from apache. Should I have a shell script that doesn't return true until it gets a 200? Or maybe for now a script that does a sleep 60 before gnome loads? </p>

<p>I have successfully managed to share my 3G data connection with my Win 7 OS on the same desktop machine, but I'd really like to get it working in Ubuntu, as Win 7 is a real step back for me. On Win 7 I was able to share my mobile data connection by installing the iOS MyWi app on my iPhone and connecting over USB. I tried to share my 3G connection via USB and use the native iOS 'Internet Tethering' feature but Win 7 could not discover the connection.</p>
<p>On Ubuntu I've tried using the MyWi app to share my 3G connection to my Ubuntu desktop via USB but Ubuntu simply cannot 'discover' the network. I also tried to set my iPhone to 'Internet Tethering ON' and manually adding my mobile connection in Ubuntu as a 'Mobile Broadband' and adding the APN for 3UK. I couldn't get Ubuntu to discover the network.</p>
<p>Any ideas please? </p>
<p>My iPhone is 4.01 (jailbroken)
Ubuntu 10.10 (fully up to date so I shouldn't need to install any new iPhone packages, I <em>thought</em>)
MyWi app v4.60.14
Data provider is 3 Mobile (UK). I have an unlimited data plan.</p>

<p>I'm looking to get the "3D Cube" in Ubuntu 11.04 Beta 1, however last time I tried it after using compiz I lost my desktop and hand to reinstall. However I have read <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/711561" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this bug</a> which seems to state this is fixed, however when I go to disable the wall to enable the cube it still seems like its going to break it ( I dont want to try it again as it may break my desktop again :-) )</p>
<p>Anyone able to shed any light on how I go about this?</p>

<ul>
<li>edit rules file (only adding CLASSPATH)</li>
<li>edit control file adding Version and Homepage</li>
<li>edit something.install adding some more files to be copied</li>
<li>edit something.manifest editing Main-Class</li>

Even if I restore it, I want a full reinstall once it gets released... I feel it's needed clean up my previous issues (including missing decorations and the broken Natty)... Windows habits, maybe :-P</p>
<p>The question is, I got no free space for backups. I got 50gb for Ubuntu, plus 200gb for windows splitted in three partitions, all packed full.</p>
<p>Is there a way to do a clean reinstall without recreating the partition or backing up all the data elsewhere? I don't care about config files, just users home folder contents.</p>

<p>I have both Windows XP and Ubuntu 10.10 in my PC, now as all know my Windows XP is been attacked by virus, and I need to re-install it by Windows 7 (the reason is not for virus, I need a 64-bit OS).</p>
<p>Now I have to do this, but GRUB shouldn't be crashed by the installation of Windows 7, any ideas? </p>

The problem is the company has given only one button to activate wifi and bluetooth (fn+f3). In windows you press it once and a dialog box shows up with options to enable bluetooth or wifi. But in ubuntu nothing of that sort happens and it just toggles the wifi. What do I do to start my bluetooth.</p>

34673 | 1 | 36019 | 2011-04-12T11:28:36.850 | 5 | 440 | <p>So I want to start using Launchpad to push some packages. I use GitHub to upload my code to, and I have noticed that there is an option to upload/import from a Git repository (that is what I did). It worked fine. However, when I tried to build the packages they fail with the following error:</p>
<pre><code>Building recipe:
# bzr-builder format 0.3 deb-version bugzilla4-{time}
lp:Bugzilla4
You have not informed bzr of your Launchpad ID, and you must do this to
write to Launchpad or access private data. See "bzr help launchpad-login".
</code></pre>
<p>I am not sure what I should do.</p>
<p>Possible problem:</p>
<ol>
<li>The recipe I wrote does not work</li>
<li>I need to use bzr instead of git</li>
<li>other</li>
</ol>
<p>Please tell me what is the problem and how do I solve it?</p>
<p>One of the many logs can be seen <a href="https://launchpadlibrarian.net/69128657/buildlog.txt.gz" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p>

<li><p>In Nautilus:</p>
<p>sometimes, I have opened several
tabs each of which opened a
different directory. But Nautilus
sometimes crashes, perhaps because
it is running too long or there are
too many tabs it can handle? I was
wondering if it is possible to
memorize what directories are open
in Nautilus before it exits
unexpectedly and when I feel this is
desired, just like what the session
manager in Firefox does?</p></li>
<li><p>For document viewers, such as evince
Document Viewer 2.32.0 and DjVuLibre
DjView 4.5: </p>
<p>I was also wondering if it is
possible to memorize what files are
open currently, before I have to
reboot my OS but don't want to lose
track of what I am now reading?</p></li>
<li>Similar question for gedit.</li>

<p>If there are/will be some solutions,
are they application-specific, or in
some cases can they be made

Integration with system settings and preferences is critical to the sense of an application “belonging” on the system. It affects the ability to manage that application using the same tools one uses to manage all the other applications, and the sorts of settings-and-preference experience that users can have with the app. This has traditionally been a problem with Qt / KDE applications on Ubuntu, because Gtk apps all use a centrally-manageable preferences store, and KDE apps do things differently.\" </p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>And is trying to fix it: </p>\n\n<blockquote>\n <p>\"To address this, Canonical is driving the development of dconf bindings for Qt, so that it is possible to write a Qt app that uses the same settings framework as everything else in Ubuntu. We’ve contracted with Ryan Lortie, who obviously knows dconf very well, and he’ll work with some folks at Canonical who have been using Qt for custom development work for customers. We’re confident the result will be natural for Qt developers, and a complete expression of dconf’s semantics and style.\"</p>\n</blockquote>\n",

34707 | 1 | 34766 | 2011-04-12T15:08:20.463 | 2 | 5176 | <p>All I'm trying to do is getting a manually installed mono (to /opt/mono-2.10) to run CLI executables without having to specify the interpreter explicitly. Wine is <strong>not</strong> installed.</p>
<p>Ubuntu 10.10. No mono package is currently installed (<code>dpkg -l | grep mono</code> gives nothing), but they were in the past before I realized that I need a much newer one, so that's probably the source of this mess.</p>
<p>Running a CLI executable gives me this:</p>
<pre><code>Can't exec "/usr/lib/cli/binfmt-detector-cli": No such file or directory at /usr/share/binfmt-support/run-detectors line 92.
</code></pre>
<p>That is correct, <code>/usr/lib/cli/binfmt-detector-cli</code> does not exist and I don't know where it should have come from.</p>
<p>So I googled a bit and found some information about the binfmt_misc module. Indeed, it is loaded and I have a <code>/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/cli</code> which contains this:</p>
<pre><code>enabled
interpreter /usr/share/binfmt-support/run-detectors
flags:
offset 0
magic 4d5a
</code></pre>
<p>This <code>run-detectors</code> script is Perl, but apparently doesn't work (this is probably <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=575776" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Debian #575776</a>):</p>
<pre><code>user@host:/$ /usr/share/binfmt-support/run-detectors
Use of uninitialized value in open at /usr/share/binfmt-support/run-detectors line 56.
Use of uninitialized value $ARGV[0] in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/binfmt-support/run-detectors line 56.
run-detectors: unable to open : No such file or directory
</code></pre>
<p>But anyway, I don't have Wine, so I don't need all that binfmt-detector-cli stuff in the first place. I just want those binaries to be hard linked with the Mono interpreter. I found <a href="https://superuser.com/questions/180112/why-is-ubuntu-trying-to-open-my-mono-app-with-wine-instead-of-mono/180226#180226">this answer on SU</a> and <a href="http://www.alexandre-gomes.com/?p=92" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this blog entry</a>, which discuss how to change these rules. Unfortunately, trying that, I always get a 'permission denied':</p>
<pre><code>user@host:/$ sudo echo .:CLR:M::MZ::/opt/mono-2.10/bin/mono:. > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register
bash: /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register: Permission denied
user@host:/$ sudo echo -1 > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/cli
bash: /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/cli: Permission denied
</code></pre>
<p>I found <code>/usr/share/binfmts/cli</code> and changed it to</p>
<pre><code>package mono-runtime
interpreter /opt/mono-2.10/bin/mono
magic MZ
</code></pre>
<p>but that seems to have no effect. Then there is <code>/var/lib/binfmts/cli</code>, which I changed to</p>
<pre><code>mono-runtime
magic
0
MZ
/opt/mono-2.10/bin/mono
</code></pre>
<p>but that also has no effect. I also found the script <code>update-binfmts</code> but I can't get it to work. I don't even manage to remove an existing configuration. The following attempt for example leaves me with a rather cryptic error message:</p>
<pre><code>user@host:/$ sudo update-binfmts --remove cli /opt/mono-2.10/bin/mono
update-binfmts: warning: current package is <local>, but binary format already
installed by mono-runtime ; not removing.
</code></pre>
<p>I have no idea whether my arguments were valid (the help page mentions <code><path></code> but doesn't say the path to what it wants... or why), whether the second line is supposed to be an error message and whether it changed anything in the first place.</p>
<p>How do I make any executable that starts with the magic string 'MZ' to be run with <code>/opt/mono-2.10/bin/mono</code>?</p>
<hr>
<p>Update 1: The outputs to the commands Colin suggested:</p>
<pre><code>user@host:/$ sudo update-binfmts --package mono-runtime --remove cli /opt/mono-2.10/bin/mono
update-binfmts: warning: current package is mono-runtime, but binary format

34712 | 1 | 34715 | 2011-04-12T15:17:51.840 | 1 | 1041 | <p>I have a file on my server that is changing constantly, it changes hourly, sometimes it changes every minute. The file is is growing, but not so fast.</p>
<p>This file is generated inside a dir called <code>/home/my_user/backup123/subnets.cfg</code>, until here no problem.</p>
<p><strong>This is my first question:</strong>
Now I need to put this file on a remote server. What is the best way to do this?
From my local server, that where the file is located or across the remote server?</p>
<p><strong>Here is my second question:</strong>
If I do across the remote server I think I need to use the <strong>wget</strong> command right?
I have tried to use this command:</p>
<pre><code> wget --user=my-user --password=password http://example.com/dir/subnets.cfg
</code></pre>
<p>But it is not working, it tells me "wrong user name". Of course I had use my own user name and password, but it is not working. I have permissions to the file and dir.</p>
<p>I need to get the subnets.cfg file and put it on my remote server, how can I do that?</p>

<p>The main is 10GB and the other one is 65 GB huge. Now I am running out of space (about 4 GB left on main disk).</p>
<p>After googling, I understood that there is no chance to change the default installation directory to another partition.</p>
<p>Could you suggest me what to do, because I have unused space on the whole 2nd partition (65 GB)?</p>

<p>Is either <em><code>Gedit</code></em> or <em><code>Gvim</code></em> capable of this? ...

<p>I'm open to other suggestions of how to do this; maybe there is some "block-mode".. but I do want it to be fast to select each line (must be a full line including the trailing newline)....<br>
I've mentioned Gedit and Gvim as they are the most commonly used Ubuntu editors (I think)...but maybe another editor does this exact thing... </p>
<p>Maybe just appending to the clipboard will work. but that really is a <em>last resort!</em> as it is big-time error-prone... btw, I don't know the key-combo for appending to the clipboard, so I'd like to know about this too.., thanks </p>
<p>PS. I've tried <em>Gedit's advanced-bookmarks</em> plugin, but it doesn't seem to do what I want .... </p>

Whenever I try to upload a file via my browser(let's say attach a file to an email in GMail), I click 'Browse' button and it opens standard file selection dialog, that doesn't show network drives.
Further more if I try to drag a file from a network drive into GMail, it doesn't work either, it just doesn't let me do that.</p>
<p>This issue has been around for quite sometime now, and I am just curious if this is something on my side or if it's a bug or a misconfiguration of some sort.</p>
<p>FWIW, I am currently running 10.10, network drive is a samba share on NAS. This happens in FF and Chrome and this is only happens with Samba mounts. As a matter of fact, NFS volumes that are located on the same network operate perfectly fine.</p>

34738 | 1 | null | 2011-04-12T18:47:03.097 | 8 | 4167 | <p>Unity is pretty cool. One of main feature I like with Unity is access running apps with handy <kbd>Win</kbd>key. However one issue is annoying me with grouping of apps without tray feature. </p>
<p>I'm running more than 2 wine apps [wine-app1, wine-app2, wine-app3]. All of them appears in Unity application placer under one icon. Pressing <kbd>Win</kbd>key (hold it for 1 sec) shows up the number and pressing corresponding number takes to a particular application. This is the difference with <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>Tab</kbd>. In ALT+TAB you walk through all application windows and select the one you wanted.</p>
<p>However, you walk through rest as well which you don't need. In my working environment, I use few editors and few windows apps due to company IT. Since all windows apps are grouped as one, everytime when i wanted to access wine-app1, wine-app2, the wine-app3 appears in walk through. [this is something similar to <kbd>Win</kbd>+<kbd>w</kbd> - Show all windows in a tiles fashion] I access wine-app1 & 2 frequently and very very occasionally use the wine-app3. But, it should be running in the background so that I can access when its needed. </p>
<p>What i'm looking for a way to pin the apps with a number. So that, I can access quickly. If I want to access wine-app1 and wine-app2, I had to pass wine-app3 and minimize wine-app3 everytime (since it appears using win key) I access other two apps using <kbd>Win</kbd>key. Is there way, we can let unity to treat these apps separate one though these are wine based apps. It shouldn't even group. And I can give new icons and access in separate.</p>

34767 | 1 | 34769 | 2011-04-12T23:17:18.293 | 2 | 2474 | <p>I have a network of 20 computers (all running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS), connected together in a network. Most of the machines are placed in places that are really hard to get to.</p>
<p>I have a central machine from which I can freely ssh to all other machines. this central machine is the only one that is connected to the internet.</p>
<p>I now have a need to install Java 1.6 on all the 'remote' machines (those that are not connected to the internet). </p>
<p>Would it be possible to do so by accessing them from within the 'central' machine, and providing them with the Java 1.6 installation files (or in some other way?) how do I go about it?</p>

You need 2 commands on the clients too. Then you could use apt-get from the clients to access the internet. </p>\n\n<p>I don't understand these scripts myself - only in sofar, to adopt it to my needs. :) This is my 'gateway.sh' script, to be run on the router with sudo:</p>\n\n<pre><code>#!/bin/bash\n# test if ip-forward is up - if not, enable it:\n#\n# maybe the network card has no IPv4 adress? Use a static IP:\n# if you have a static, well known IP, comment this out:\nifconfig eth0 192.168.32.8 up \n#\n# Tell the kernel to do ip-forwarding:\n#\nipf=$(cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward)\nif [[ ipf -eq \"0\" ]] ; then \n echo \"1\" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward\nfi\n#\n# forward-masquerade, script follows:\n#\n. /etc/ppp/masquerade\n#\n# might or might not be needed. \n# start dhcp-server, older method:\n# /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server start\n# newer method:\n# /etc/init.d/dhcdbd start\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Then you need the ip-masquerade-script, which you needn't place in /etc/ppp/masqeuerade, but change the line in gateway.sh, if you don't do so.</p>\n\n<pre><code>iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE\n#\nmodprobe ip_conntrack_ftp\nmodprobe ip_nat_ftp\n#\niptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST, SYN -j TCPMSS --clamp-mss-to-pmtu\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Just a few lines. Now you would start <code>sudo gateway.sh</code> and wait for the clients. These wouldn't do much: </p>\n\n<pre><code> sudo route add default gw 192.168.32.8 \n</code></pre>\n\n<p>whatever the IP of the central machine is. This could already be sufficient. Maybe you would modify the DNS-Server, to have one of your ISPs DNS in there: </p>\n\n<pre><code> sudo edit /etc/resolv.conf \n</code></pre>\n\n<p>A running avahi-daemon and NetworkManager could interfere with the clients, mainly. </p>\n\n<h2>conclusion:</h2>\n\n<p>For the third and first way, I know how to do it exactly, but the most elegant way would probably be No. 2, but I never did it myself. So I would recommend to search a bit, or wait a little, maybe somebody knows how to do it, or how to do something better.</p>\n",

Well, for some reason there is no dock on this machine. The Global Menu is there, and the Ubuntu Button and such like, so I'm satisfied that Unity is running (I also verified this by trying to run it from a terminal.)</p>
<p>I'd appreciate any ideas as to why the dock never showed up and how I can install or activate it manually.</p>
<p>Here's a screenshot with Unity desktop ("Ubuntu" option in login menu):
<img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZPq9L.png" alt="Natty desktop with dock missing"></p>
<p>Here's a screenshot with GNOME desktop ("Ubuntu classic" option in login menu):
<img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Ms46v.png" alt="GNOME desktop on same machine"></p>
<p>As you can see, it's somewhat difficult to tell by looking which one is running. IMO since both desktops ship with Natty and neither one of them is 100% bug-free, there ought to be an easy way to tell them apart. As it is, they can be distinguished by the slightly different appearance of the upper banner and lower banner. For example, in "Ubuntu Classic" the Ubuntu Button at upper-left corner of the screen is in larger and colored orange and yellow.</p>

<p>Gnome3 is out in the market and there has been a lot of talk about it. I like Unity interface very much. However, I was thinking to try out Gnome3 as well. But, wanted to be careful. I've already setup unity and I don't want to mess up. Is installing gnome3 will affect Unity desktop by chance ?. </p>

Open <code>man cssh</code> and head down to the <code>FILES</code> section. It explains how you can create an <code>/etc/clusters</code> file to allow you to quickly create groups (called tags) like this:</p>\n\n<pre><code>clusters = <tag1> <tag2> <tag3>\n<tag1> = host1 host2 host3\n<tag2> = user@host4 user@host5 host6\n<tag3> = <tag1> <tag2>\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Then you can do:</p>\n\n<pre><code>cssh -T 'tag2' -a 'cd directory; ls'\n</code></pre>\n\n<h3>Use a central repository</h3>\n\n<p>I don't mean a deb repo (but that's possible too, I guess) rather something like <code>git</code> or <code>brz</code>.

If network bandwidth has bottlenecks in places, something like a torrent server might even be the best course (that's how Facebook updates all their nodes)</p>\n\n<h3>Tell your network to download the files</h3>\n\n<p>From here it's just connecting the dots. Using <code>cssh</code> you'd just tell all your computers to fetch the file and do whatever needs doing with it.</p>\n\n<p>I suggest you start small. Get the file shared and then try a simple cluster of a couple of computer and see how it goes. Expand that out.</p>\n\n<p>I suggest that even once you're done you keep a cluster of a couple of computers for testing before you push things to the main group.</p>\n",

34825 | 1 | 34835 | 2011-04-13T09:45:55.977 | 7 | 1055 | <p>I've had problems the last few upgrades. Things have been added to Ubuntu that I don't particularly care for. Window buttons have moved, Indicator Applets have sprung up, menu icons have vanished and <strong>each upgrade I've found myself having to "fix" things to get them back to how they were.</strong></p>
<p>I'm not going to get bogged down in whether my opinion is "correct" or otherwise, just that I'd like to stay the same.</p>
<p>The upgrade to 11.04 poses major issues for me where all of the following statements are true:</p>
<ul>
<li>I like new versions of packages</li>
<li>I'd like to be on the current version of Ubuntu to help people with that version</li>
<li>I'm too busy to spend hours recovering my panel-based desktop configuration</li>
<li>I have no desire to try Unity now. I may want to in the future, but not today, thank you.</li>
</ul>
<p>My understanding is that the default upgrade would dump me in a Unity environment regardless of my previous desktop settings.</p>
<p>I'm aware of the Classic mode. My understanding is it's currently a completely new configuration of panels made to look more like Unity. I realise I could battle it to the death to get my current theme/panel-settings/pannel-applets back, but unless it just defaults to my current desktop, I'm not very interested in it. I'd rather not upgrade.</p>
<p>So the question is: <strong>Can I upgrade to Natty without destroying my desktop?</strong> Is there a clean upgrade path for users (for example) who have hundreds of users they can't afford to retrain right now? Or are we stuck on Maverick for the foreseeable future?</p>
<p><strong>Edit:</strong> I guess to clarify a sub-questions would be: <strong>What does Classic Mode show when you do an upgrade? The old, previously configured desktop or a new stock configuration?</strong> I might have to test this in a VM to see what happens but it's a lot of bandwidth to spend on an experiment.</p>
<hr>
<p><strong>Edit</strong> I upgraded today. Took me to Unity, I logged out and into Classic (as expected). Most of the settings appear in tact, Compiz has a whole load of new defaults and lost settings (fair enough), most of my panel applets (window lists, clock, notification area) aren't loading. There will be a follow up question.</p>

These weren't mainstream applications - most of which are maintained and thus version compatible with the Natty libraries, and none of them were critical to what I do so I don't remember which were removed.</p>\n\n<p>Unlike that other operating system, there isn't the overbearing market need to ensure that your copy of Lotus 1-2-3 from 10 years ago still runs on the new shiny.</p>\n\n<p>If you've got hundreds of users, surely one of them won't miss their computer if you \"borrow\" it as a sacrifice machine. Failing that, carve off some disk, or get another disk (they are stunningly cheap these days) clone off your config and upgrade the copy to see how insufferable the damage is. It may also be useful in your environment to be able to dual boot Maverick/Natty as needed.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Added</strong>: You are asking for a guarantee that only empirical testing can afford you. Ubuntu is such a hypercomplex maze of interdependencies that given a huge static survey of your current installation, I'd be hard pressed to give you a definitive answer to what will change or break. If this wasn't so, you could just upgrade the packages you wanted. But you can't do that without entering dependency hell which the modern distros work so hard at avoiding.</p>\n",

Definitely a good tip to test it out. I might have to create a Maverick VM, customise the desktop a little and then upgrade it to Natty to see what the damage is.",
