<p>Unfortunately the internal HDD is smaller than the external HDD so I cannot transfer the partition using dd. But all the files on the external HDD will fit on the internal HDD so copying all files will work.</p>
<p>After googling and reading <a href="http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/010037.html" rel="nofollow">this blog post</a> and all its comments, it seems like rsync -H and cp -a are both good candidates, but I never really got a confirming answer which of those that was fastest, most reliable etc. rsync is good for other things as well but for a local filesystem transfer, cp would be the right choice, I mean this is Unix so the basic commands should work.</p>

34880 | 1 | 34922 | 2011-04-13T14:42:49.877 | 84 | 91928 | <p>What is the difference between <code>/opt</code> and <code>/usr/local</code> directories and what kind of programs should be installed to them?</p>
<p>I referred to <a href="http://tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/">Linux File-system Hierarchy</a> but the explanation is not that clear.
According to above link;</p>
<p><code>/opt</code> :- This directory is reserved for all the software and add-on packages that are not part of the default installation</p>
<p><code>/usr/local</code> :- The <code>/usr/local</code> hierarchy is for use by the system administrator when installing software locally. It needs to be safe from being overwritten when the system software is updated.</p>
<p>In the context of a PC without any networked computers what should be the directory to install a software that will be accessed by multiple local users? (i.e. where should I install a software like netbeans) </p>
<p>Thank you</p>

<p>Basically, here is a new Toshiba laptop running ubuntu lucid. Everything works like a charm, apart from a microphone jack, which only produces very low level noise. </p>
<p>Sound output is OK, the problem is only with the input. </p>
<p>The microphone jack itself is fine, since it works under windows.</p>
<p>The pulseaudio server doesn't seem to mute the mike. </p>
<p>I'm at loss as to where to even start looking into how to fix this, and will very much appreciate any suggestions.</p>
<p>EDIT: Installing the <code>linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic</code> (as suggested here: <a href="http://www.linlap.com/wiki/toshiba+portege+r700-r705" rel="nofollow">http://www.linlap.com/wiki/toshiba+portege+r700-r705</a>) alleviated the problem. Now the internal mike works just fine, the mike jack sort of works but the noise level on the jack is still very high. </p>

34963 | 1 | 34969 | 2011-04-13T22:21:29.037 | 9 | 1271 | <p>So far I'm liking the new Unity interface, but there are certain aspects of the Applications lens/dash that I find a bit inconvenient. For example, I have about 30 games installed on my desktop. </p>
<p>With the old main menu, I could edit the games into categories, and it was very quick to view all card games, or all arcade games.</p>
<p>With the current set-up, there's no problem if I know which game (or other program) I want, but if I want to browse through the games, it's less convenient. Once I click on the Applications lens, I have to pick Games from the drop-down menu (which requires more mouse movements than before), and after that, the games remain unsorted, so I can't browse by category. </p>
<p>What I would like would be able to create a launcher buttons similar to the Applications button, for specific groups of programs, so that I could, for example, click on an 'Arcade' button in the launcher, and see a list of arcade games. Is there (now or in the future) any way for someone without programming skills to do something like this? (Ideally, it would be of a similar level of difficulty to editing the Gnome main menu.)</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I just want to ask you, if I'm installing the Ubuntu beside the windows without any partition changes, using wubi does the ubuntu using more performance (CPU, memory, hard drive), or same as a normal installation?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>But here's the thing: I can SSH into the desktop without a password, but then some time later I'm asked for a password again. The server always asks for a password and never lets me login with my key.</p>
<p>I've checked permissions on the <code>.ssh</code> folder, the <code>authorized_keys file</code>, my <code>id_dsa</code> and my <code>id_dsa.pub</code> on all hosts, and they're inline with what the <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/serverguide/C/openssh-server.html" rel="nofollow">Ubuntu documentation</a> suggests. I've even copied my keys using <code>scp</code> and <em>gasp</em> set permissions to files and folders to 777 just to rule out any permission issues.</p>

<p>Then I added ubuntu-x-swat PPA and upgraded nvidia driver to version 270.41.03. I think it also upgraded X. But anyway, booting with the new card still freezes.</p>
<p>I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 with all packages updated.</p>
<p>Does anybody know if this Geforce 450 card will work with Ubuntu 11.04? Oh and I almost forgot, I tried booting 11.04 Beta1 LiveCD with my new Nvidia, and it actually started up into Gnome. But it wasn't using nvidia driver, so no eye candy or smooth desktop environment. Any clues if this Geforce 450 will work with nvidia driver on 11.04?</p>
<p>Thanks,

<ul>
<li>I have shared <code>/shared</code> as <code>Shared</code></li>
<li>I have a user with the same name and pwd as my Linux user in my Windows machine</li>
<li>I made that user a member of the <code>debian-transmission</code> group</li>
<li>There's a symlink called <code>/shared/Downloads/Torrents</code> that points to
<code>/var/lib/transmission-daemon/downloads</code></li>
<li>That folder is owned by <code>debian-transmission:debian-transmission</code> and its permissions are <code>4775</code> (as created by the package)</li>
</ul>
<p>I need to be able to <strong>read and move</strong> files from/to /shared/Downloads/Torrents from my Windows box.</p>
<p>Right now, I'm able to do that locally, but I get an <strong>access denied</strong> error when trying to read the <code>Downloads</code> folder.</p>

35077 | 1 | 50244 | 2011-04-14T16:02:03.353 | 8 | 38231 | <p>I am trying to get a basic nfs4 working between two machines (let's call them <em>server</em> and <em>client</em>). I have followed <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NFSv4Howto" rel="noreferrer">this manual</a> <em>by letter</em> to no avail. Here's what I'm getting:</p>
<pre><code>root@server#: tail -n 2 /etc/exports
/export client-ip/24(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash)
/export/users client-ip/24(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash)
root@server#: showmount --exports
Export list for server-ip:
/export/users client-ip/24
/export client-ip/24
</code></pre>
<p>Server side seems to be OK. Directories exist, their permissions are granted (775). Addresses (<em>client-ip</em> and <em>server-ip</em>) are numeric - replaced with acronyms here for obvious reasons. Next, the client:</p>
<pre><code>root@client#: mount -v -t nfs4 server-ip:/export /opt/nfstest
mount.nfs4: timeout set for Thu Apr 14 15:52:31 2011
mount.nfs4: text-based options: 'clientaddr=client-ip,addr=server-ip'
mount.nsf4: mount(2): No such file or directory
mount.nfs4: mounting server-ip:/export failed, reason given by server:
No such file or directory
</code></pre>
<p>It just doesn't accept the remote folder. Apart from one above, I tried <code>server-ip:/export/users</code>, <code>server-ip:/</code> - getting same result. Client does have access to server:</p>
<pre><code>root@client#: telnet server-ip 2049
Trying server-ip...
Connected to server-ip.
Escape character is '^]'.
root@client#: showmount -e server-ip
Export list for server-ip:
/export/users client-ip/24
/export client-ip/24
</code></pre>
<p>Local directory <code>/opt/nfstest</code> exists. Module <code>nfs</code> is loaded on the nfs client. There are no firewall between the server and client. What else should I check?</p>
<p>Additional information: Ubuntu Lucid (10.04.2), running on Amazon ec2 box. NFS versions (<code>nfs-common</code>, <code>nfs-kernel-server</code>) are 1:1.2.0-4ubuntu4.1.</p>

<p>Gnome panels and docky are able to "reserve" part of the screen for themselves in such a way as to prevent maximized windows from covering them up. I'd like to setup a region on my desktop in the same manner. Between conky, pidgin, pandora, and a couple of widgets, I have a group of items I want to always be able to view. "Always on Top" is not good enough,</p>
<p>I don't even know which part of the "stack" (X, Compix, Metacity, Gnome...) controls this behavior, and my google-fu was too weak to find the answer.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Also, I can't switch songs with my remote control while the screensaver is running but when i give it my password and unlock my computer then it understands my remote control...</p>
<p>Is there a workaround to this?</p>

35119 | 1 | 38459 | 2011-04-14T20:23:32.137 | 1 | 752 | <p>today I have upgraded my netbook with Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04. Here are my specs:</p>
<p>Asus EEE 1000HD
Celeron 900MHz (single core)
1 GB RAM
Integrated GPU (Intel) with 64MB shared memory
Sata disk</p>
<p>Always using Gnome (so in 10.10 Ubuntu Clasic)</p>
<p>It is not so amazing, but with 10.10 it was quite quick in comparassion with 11.04. Firstly, my login (after password inserted in GDM) increased from 15s to almost one minute. All of effects run very slow, slow is also rendering all windows (also web content in my Chrome).</p>
<p>Second (and I think, this is bug), when I log out, I can't login once more. No selection with lang, keyboard and enviroment appears. Is this normal? If yes, for me it means downgrade back to 10.10.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>However I have Ubuntu natty installed on my dell inspiron 1525 and it did not show any battery info on the panel. This can be seen from the screenshot below..</p>

35155 | 1 | 35232 | 2011-04-15T01:01:16.473 | 10 | 33732 | <p>Ubuntu and Latex newbie here. Very basic question I have.</p>
<p>I recently installed Latex using the following code:</p>
<pre><code>sudo apt-get install texlive
</code></pre>
<p>However, I want to uninstall this and just get the latex base for now.</p>
<p>I tried the following but it doesn't work:</p>
<pre><code>sudo apt-get remove texlive
</code></pre>
<p><code>dpkg --get-selections | grep tex</code> shows that a number of latex related files are installed.</p>
<p>How do I remove texlive?</p>

<p>Is there a way to move program's main menu (The one that says File, Settings, Help, ....) from the top panel Unity's panel to the top of the window, like it was before? I have 25" display and if small window open on the right side of the screen it is kind of annoying to move cursor to another corner of the screen to press go to the menu. Or if I need to go to the menu of not active window I must always click on and only then will be able to access menu. </p>
