Shotwell helps me keep my photos organized. It would be nice if there was something similar for my videos. I prefer something Gtk-based, but I'm open to ideas.
I do not understand how to pair my new pantech impact with my ubuntu laptop so that I can send pictures and files back and forth.
Can anyone provide instructions?
Is there a way by which I can read RSS feeds from the terminal itself ? Something that would display the titles and a link to follow. Or maybe a software which works from within the terminal.
I'm managing several Ubuntu 9.10 servers that NFS mount several folders (including /home). I'd like these folders to be mounted at boot time. I would like to have several entries in my /etc/fstab to accomplish this, e.g.
192.168.1.100:/home /home nfs rw 0 0
192.168.1.100:/usr/ansys_inc /ansys_inc nfs ro 0 0
Unfortunately, with this configuration, the servers usually (although not always) hang during the bootup sequence when trying to do the NFS mount.
if I comment out these fstab entries, reboot the machine, uncomment them and mount them manually using the shell, the folders mount cleanly.
I'm not sure how to go about debugging this problem. It seems like it has something to do with the boot sequence, that some relevant process hasn't been started by the time the OS tries to mount the folders.
I have Ubuntu 13.10 x64 installed as a guest in VirtualBox (under a Windows 8.1 host) and have the settings for the virtual machine setup to run with a monitor count of 2, 128MB video memory and 3D acceleration enabled. In my guest I have the virtual box additions installed (which allowed me to have two 1920x1080 screens).
Here's a screenshot of my VM settings.
My laptop is an Asus N550JV which has both Intel's HD Graphics 4600 GPU and Nvidia's GeForce GT 750M. By default though I believe the Intel GFX card is being used to render the VM.
When I boot up the VM it loads perfectly on dual screens, however whenever I move the mouse from one screen to the other (I have a Dell S2340L running over a HDMI connection as a second screen) the screen flickers.
I've tried a variety of settings changes in both Ubuntu and the VM settings, but cannot seem to stop this screen flicker.
I also used the NVidia control panel in Windows to force the dedicated graphics card to always be used but found that the display driver sometimes crashed whilst working in the VM, resulting in my VM session being destroyed, so I figured it's better to stick with the Intel GFX as that appears to be more stable. I also tried without 3D acceleration but that was much worse, and if I ran the VM with a low amount of graphics memory it really struggled.
Here's my dmesg output: http://pastebin.com/1LJuYWMj (not sure if this is helpful in this situation).
I read some posts suggesting changes to /etc/X11/xorg.conf but I don't appear to have an xorg.conf file. There were also a few posts (though related to Synergy) suggesting running xset -dpms but this command doesn't appear to have had any effect for me.
As an additional note, I'm finding that window drawing in the guest is a little laggy/glitchy. For example, quickly scrolling through a web page may result in parts of the viewport displaying original content. Certainly I notice drawing issues most in the web browser, but it also impacts other software with parts of the window not being drawn when, say, switching between accounts in thunderbird.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
I have a notebook Asus V6X00V with 1400*1050 monitor(name: LVDS) and Dell Monitor 1920*1080 (VGA-0).
I want to have a dual monitor system. At MS Windows everything is working fine. During the Kubuntu installation the Dell and the main notebook monitors have a right resolutions(1920*1080 & 1400*1050). But after some stage it have been changed to the 1152*864 for both. Now the right resolution is only during turning off process and when I am using the console. So it shows that system can use this resolutions. The problem is just in a settings.
I am using Size & Orientation - System Settings for setting adjustment. Any option that changes resolution for any monitor or changing position(Absolute, Left Of, Right of and so on) cause the color line noise on the screens.
I have tried xrandr:
xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1400x1050 --pos 0x0 --output VGA-0 --mode 1920x1080 --right-of LVDS --pos 1400x0
but have received the same result.
I have find out that for example the previous version of Randr(1.2, now I have xrandr 1.3) need a xorg.conf file modification to create a big virtual screen, but kubuntu 10.4 don't have xorg.conf and I don't know should I modify xorg for 1.3 version of xrandr or not.
Please help me to solve this problem
Hello.,
Whenever i need to copy some files and couldnt find a pen drive, [ i dont have bluetooth enabled in my lap], I create a new ad hoc (wireless) network in windows and share the necessary files on the network and share files with the other system.
Now, i want to do the same with Ubuntu. But, i couldn't. I could create a new network, but i am not able to chare or send or even dont know how to access the system connected to the network. So, how can i do this?
Thanks
I have an HP Z210 with Windows 7, which is UEFI based. I'd like to dual boot it to Ubuntu 11.10 with GRUB2, but am having problems due to the UEFI. The install CD goes to the end, but then the machine always boots right into Windows.
These problems are apparently documented (here and here), but there's no consensus as to what the simplest solution is. Any recommendations? I want Ubuntu and Windows to both be bootable. (Perhaps if I knew more about UEFI and its system partition, and how it differs from BIOS and MBR, I'd be in a better position. So background answers explaining how UEFI loads up are very appreciated.)
Hi,
I have installed ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop. It has a 802.11n wireless card.
When I boot up to ubuntu, the wireless does not work. And if I connect to a wire network within ubuntu, it works.
Can you please tell me how can I setup my wireless card in ubuntu 9.10?
Thank you.
when I am trying to access the server through ssh it says:
ssh: connect to host xx.yyy.zzz.x port 22: Connection refused
and on the server in auth.log it shows following log entry:
Address xx.yyy.zzz.x maps to xx.yyy.zzz.x.static-pune-vsnl.net.in, but this does not map back to the address - POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT!
I have created a user account for that user and it is also in enabled status.
Requested info
It is Ubuntu 11.10
It is configured as SSH Server using openssh-server
I am trying to connect to this server using Putty from Windows 7 i.e. My Desktop
I have also asked this on AskUbuntu: http://askubuntu.com/questions/118556/unable-to-access-the-server-via-ssh
I've been troubleshooting this issue for a while, and through a series of events have it narrowed down to my airport extreme base station. I like this router, since I'm able to connect to IPV6 sites without any insane configuration (my alternate router is too old and doesn't support v6).
My question is: Has anyone else had this issue, if so how is it resolved? If not, can you recommend a good IPv6 router?
Here is how I came to the conclusion that it is the router:
Devices: XBOX 360, HTC Incredible, Home-Built machine running FreeBSD, Home-Built machine running Ubuntu 10.04.
1.) Noticed freezing on Ubuntu Box.
2.) Noticed freezing on XBOX360
3.) Noticed freezing on HTC Incredible (only when connected to my network wirelessly).
The above all happened at random times throughout the past few weeks. Over the last few days, I was playing XBOX and noticed that the XBOX and Ubuntu machines both froze. I picked up my phone, and it was also frozen. I reset all devices, power-cycled my router, and all was fine again. About two hours later, it happened again (I was playing Forza III, the XBOX froze; I went to the Ubuntu box and it was frozen; unfortunately, the HTC phone was not connected wirelessly, and the FreeBSD box was turned off).
I can't even begin to imaging what a router could be doing to freeze devices with such differing hardware/software/OS, and I feel absurd for coming to this conclusion, but I have nothing else. I hooked up my archaic Netgear router, and have had no problems since. :(
I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 using Wubi on a PC that has Windows XP and Windows 7 installed. I was working in it for a while and everything is just fine.
However, when I booted back into Windows 7, I couldn't figure out a way to access the files I had created or downloaded into the Ubuntu partition. They're in a virtual disk called root.disk in my C:\ubuntu\disks.
Is there a way I can mount this vhd into Windows or at least browse the contents and extract what I need?
As suggested I upgraded. Same as before except now not even the speaker control in the application bar. Please help.
Background:
I have Ubuntu 9.10. Headphones appear to work fine. External speakers - nothing. There are so many sound preferences I have no idea what or which combination.
Went to terminal and ran alsamixer which seems to recognize my sound card, though the driver is not listed in System Administration Hardware Drivers; the only driver listed is my graphics card.
Setup: I have a Dell 8250. Speakers are plugged into the SB live card. Woofer and 2 speakers using transformer.
Hello, All!
I have a strange behavior on Ubuntu 10.4:
few daemons (apache2 and postgresql (8.4SS from enterpriseDB) did not start automatically.
Funny things that time-to-to they do. (If I just restart my computer everything looks ok, but if I turn it off for the night, nothing work..., so I have to start them manually)
I've googled this problem a little bit, but the only answer I have found was to run:
sudo update-rc.d apache2 defaults
I've called it but the answer was:
System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/apache2 already exist.
Any Ideas?
I have a fresh Lucid Lynx (Ubuntu 10.04) running on a laptop. where I defined the filesystems as:
mount point / on ext4 (46 Gb)
mount point /home on jfs (63 GB)
swap as 3 Gb
I left the machine over night to do some task, without AC power supply. next day in the morning I found it on standby, task completed, but filesystem was not reachable. it gave me I/O error
it seems that there is a problem with jfs and standby.
anyways, to avoid any hassle, I want to move this mount point from jfs format to ext4.
can I do this without losing data and without the need to place the data in a temporary location until transformation is done?
sorry to mention that, but I recall back in the windows days, we would change a FAT16 to FAT32 or a FAT32 to NTFS without having to lose the data. I hope this is available on Linux.
I installed Kismet on my Ubuntu 10.04 machine as apt-get install kismet
every thing seems to work fine.
but when I launch it I see following error

I followed this guide

how ever in kismet.conf I am not clear with following line

as to what should I change this to.

I've been playing with a new SLR that also happens to record movies.
When I try to view a movie using Movie Player, it plays fine, and the sound is there, but the colors are off - green grass is purple, and my golden retriever is a blue retriever. VLC reports that the file is broken, offers to repair it, and plays it with the same problem.
The same file plays fine under WinXP with both Media Player and Quicktime, and with no problems under MacOS also with Quicktime.
What's the problem, and how can I fix it?
I have enable the following plugin that allows me to make a screenshot of selected by me area:
Screenshot plugin
Ubuntu 12.04
Unfortunately, I am not able to make a screenshot of my launchers sub menus (after right click of icon on the launcher a menu appears).
Actually, I have enable this plugin because I was not able to make a screenshot of this sub menus using the ordinary print screen button.
Is there a way to fix this?

I have reinstalled Ubuntu 9.10 Server several times on a bog standard 1RU server and each time I finish the install and reboot I see GRUB run and am then presented with a black screen. The machine is running just fine, as I am able to SSH in, but I can't see anything on the attached monitor. I have a simple LCD screen connected via VGA and a signal is apparently being output to it, as it doesn't go asleep.
Looking at /var/log/syslog I see:
Mar 24 14:57:44 bridge5 rsyslogd-2039: Could no open output file '/dev/xconsole' [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2039 ]
However, I later see:
Mar 24 14:57:44 bridge5 kernel: [ 0.001368] console [tty0] enabled
Any thoughts? Thanks!
I attached two identical hard drives to my linux machine. Then using gparted I formated the first 1024 mb at the beginning of each drive as linux swap space.
Then I went into system-administration-disk utility. In there I went to file-create-RAID array. I selected the remaining space in each of the two identical hard drives and created a striped raid array.
After the array was created, a warning message appeared. It said "The partition is misaligned by 522240 bytes. This may result in very poor performance. Repartitioning is suggested."
What do I do now? As far as I can tell, the partitions are identical.
The wireless on my Ubuntu works on all the other wireless networks. But on this university network it never forms a connection. But I can see the signal at 80% (indeed I see several signals at 80%, 40% and 20% by the same name university-network name). On a Windows XP laptop, the connection is formed as usual, and there is only one network visible to Windows.
Hi. I like the little top panel thing in Ubuntu. I have links to all my most used programs on there. (Which is why I don't see the point of docky or any of those things: they seem to do the same job, but they're messier).
What I'd like is to have a little icon for my documents folder up there too. But I don't seem to be able to do it. It's not one of the options listed when you go to "add to panel...". Am I missing something ridiculously easy?
Hello,
I am using Ubuntu 9.10 on my Thinkpad T61. Very often after the system woke up from sleep, all the gnome shortcuts went dead (no effect when key combinations pressed).
Things like "Alt+F4, Alt+TAB" are dead; things like Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V are OK; buttons such as volume up/down also OK;
I tried to Google for answers but wasn't lucky enough. Any idea how to solve it?
Thanks!
If it's not preventable, can I at least restore them without restarting the session?
I'm using wine in order to install and run yahoo messenger on ubuntu(9.10) But it does not detect the webcam. Not unlike in skype that it can detect(skype not run through wine).
What do I do in order for it to detect the cam?
