As a part of security policy we need to disable CDROM & USB access for normal users. Only root users should have the access. We are mainly using Ubuntu Linux.
Hi,
My screen resolution in windows and previous version of Ubuntu (9.04) was 1152 x 864.
But in Ubuntu 10.04 it gives me an option of 1024 x 786 and 1360 x 786.
I have some how managed to add 1152x684 resolution by using xrandr command.
searock@searock-desktop:~$ cvt 1152

--addmode VGA1 1152x864_60.00
But the problem is when ever I restart my computer I get this message.
Could not apply the stored configuration for the monitors. Could not find a suitable configuration of screens.
And then it comes back to 1024 x 786
My graphic card details : Intel(R) 82945G Express Chipset Family.
Is there any way I can fix this once for all ?
Thanks.
Edit 1 : rumtscho has suggested me to modify xorg.conf file. But I am not sure what HorizSync means? is it Horizontal frequency ?
My monitor model is Acer v173.
Here's my specification.
So what should be HorizSync and VertRefresh ?
Edit 2 :
I have edited my Xorg.conf file as follows :
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
HorizSync 30-80
VertRefresh 55-75
EndSection
then I added the resolution and restarted my computer and still I am facing the same problem.
Is there something that I am missing?
Edit 3 : For now I have edited /etc/gdm/Init/Default(gdm startup scripts) to include following xrandr commands, just below line initctl -q emit login-session-start DISPLAY_MANAGER=gdm
xrandr --newmode "1152x864_60.00" 81.75 1152 1216 1336 1520 864 867 871 897 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA1 1152x864_60.00<br/>
xrandr -s 1152x864_60.00
This has solved my problem, but this commands have increased my computer's boot time.
I think I will have to edit xorg file properly.
Edit 4 : Instead of adding this files to gdm startup scripts I have created a shell script and added it to startup (System - Preference - Startup Applications)
#!/bin/bash
xrandr --newmode "1152x864_60.00" 81.75 1152 1216 1336 1520 864 867 871 897 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA1 1152x864_60.00
xrandr -s 1152x864_60.00
And don't forget to add execution rights. (Right Click - Properties - Permission - Allow executing file as program)
I have a ubuntu machine that is connected to my house's sound system. Is there a way I can control what it is playing remotely? I have SSH access if necessary.
I typically use Rhythmbox to play music.
When I run sar -d I receive the error message:
Requested activities not available in
file /var/log/sysstat/sa24
The file does exist, and I can run sar with other flags, but can't see these particular metrics. Is there something I need to enable in sysstat to collect what I need to see this report?
Server is Ubuntu 9.04.
Getting a kernel panic with this error on my XEN VPS's. (all on 8.04 LTS)
The kernel version on my Dom-0 is 2.6.24-25-xen and the kernel version on the Xen VPS is also 2.6.24-25-xen.
I read something about disabling APIC from here http://muffinresearch.co.uk/archives/2008/08/20/ubuntu-bug-soft-lockup-cpu0-stuck-for-11s/
but that doesn't seem to help as well.
Anyone experienced this and are there any workarounds?
Thanks in advance!

The default output audio port Ubuntu doesn't work on my system. It should be "Analog Mono Output/Amplifier", instead of "Analog Output/Amplifier". I can easily change that in sound preferences, just by choosing the right port in the "Output" tab. The problem is this would only apply to a single account, and I would like to change it system-wide, so it applies to all accounts on the system (I have more than 100 users...).
I'm after 2 hours of Googling, so any help would be appreciated.
I'd like to disable the 3rd button emulation in ubuntu 9.10. Normally, I'd just change the option in xorg.conf and it would go away - but how do I deal with an autodetected mouse?
For example, I've got a mouse I connect to USB and it has the emulation enabled by default. How do I change it in that case?
Hello,
I am using Ubuntu and have AMP. I tried to create a new folder under /var/www/html/ it says not found. I edited the http://localhost/index.html and that gives me a 404 error. I guess its something to do with the security.
localhost/index.html was OK before the edit
Appreciate all assistance.
Thanks
Dave

So I've looked at a ton of guides, but non of them seem to get our site to work.
This is what I was probably following the closest:https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-create-a-ssl-certificate-on-apache-for-ubuntu-12-04
I also wanted to know why there is a default-ssl in apache2/sites-available ? Is this where I would have to put my configuration?
This is my first exposure to SSL and site deployment in general. Thanks guys.

I can connect to other computers on my home network (ubuntu + OSX machines) using the IP address, but I can't connect using the netbios name.
On the mac the name appears in Finder but if I try to connect (goconnect to server smb://[email protected]) it doesn't work, while smb://[email protected] does. Same with ssh, ping and afp between the macs.
This is a intermittent problem. It has worked in the past.
I can click the "movie player" from the GUI of Ubuntu, but how could I know the corresponding command line cmd. I want to run the movie player from commmand line.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 and I would like to use apt-get to download a package and all of it's depenedcies.
Those packages will have to be installed on computers with no internet connection, so in addition to the base package I also need to all of the package's dependcies as well.
Is there an easy way to do this (like in muon package manager)?
I now that I can use the apt-get download command for this, but I don't want to manually specify each package that muon recommends to install or upgrade.

Why does MC look like this in SSH clients (I've tried PuTTY and MindTerm) and how to fix it?
On the server side is fresh installed 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 Server. On the client side is XP SP3.
I installed a new upgrade on ubuntu which seemed to fail near the end. Now I'm being told that an error has occurred and to please run apt-get to see what's wrong. After some further tries with that I eventually gave up. It seems there's a left over latex package(?) somewhere and I can't seem to get rid of or fix it. Here's an example:
blank@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.

I just downloaded a Windows 7 iso from MSDNAA at school and they gave me a personal key. I'd like to add a file with my key onto the disc, but it has to remain bootable.
Is there a really simple way to do this, or one that doesn't require some shareware?
I'm using XP right now, or any solution under ubuntu is fine.
Hi all,
I just installed a Kingston 64 GB SSD into my laptop, replacing the old 80 GB 5400 RPM one. The drive starts up and works fine every other time. For example, if I'm running normally, and press "Restart", I get:
2100 Initialization error on HDD0.
I turn off the computer manually, restart, and...it boots into Ubuntu again. This happens every other time without fail...anyone know what the problem could be?

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 with KDE. I'm trying to setup my desktops with shortcuts alt+1 for desktop 1 and alt+2 for desktop 2 etc. The problem is that Page Settings refuses to change to the desired shortcut and gives no message as to why. When I press the alt key I see "Alt+" appear in the the box but when I add 1 it reverts back to "Input". Why won't KDE let me change the keyboard shortcut and what can I do to solve the problem?

Hi,
I am trying to remove all the files in a directory hierarchy which a certain string inside the file (not the file name, it is the file content).
I can list out all the file name which has a string in the file using 'grep -r -l mystringlooking for'.
But how can I remove all the files returned by the grep ? I am trying this on ubuntu.
Thank you.
