I have a new computer with an Asus P8Z68-V LE + Intel i2500 + 8GB of RAM.
I installed Ubuntu without any issue, but the USB3 (from the motherboard - on the back of the computer) doesn't work.
I plug a USB stick -- nothing, I plug my USB3 external drive -- nothing, when I plug them into the USB2 and everything works perfectly.
Also, I ran all updates and everything is up to date.
What am I missing?
Hi,
Im relatively new to Ubuntu, Im wondering how easy it is to write what I think is called a shell script to make tasks a little easier.
For example I frequently connect to a server - ssh -p 123 [email protected]
Can and how could I shorten this to a shorter command like "mysite" or "connect mysite"
Thanks.
Mac and Windows Vista have such pretty user interfaces with all the transparencies and stuff. Is there anything for Ubuntu Linux to improve the way it looks?
Hi everyone,
Im just wondering what everyone's experiences are with the latest Ubuntu 10.04 version? Is it stable enough for a working environment?
I require it for web development, so using VMs, IDEs, connecting to VPNs, SSH to servers, etc.
Im currently using 9.04 and found 9.10 unstable and problematic at times (such as problems connecting to VPN)
Any input would be appreciated, thanks!

I have read this article:
https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/user-management.html
But it doesn't go into depth with the privileges section.
I need to know how to set privileges of me (as a user).
I am the only user, but I want access to everything, but I don't want to manage my VPS logged in as root. So I am creating a username.
Anybody have a list of privileges, what they mean and how to set them?
Thanks

Hi.
I've just made the switch to Ubuntu on my main PC and I've been looking for a media player that can:
Play all the usual video formats
Rate (and ideally, tag) each file
Display thumbnails for each file
Other than that there isn't much I'm after.
Banshee comes close, but doesn't display thumbnails.
I've Google'd lots but I'm running out of search terms to try.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Cheers!
I am trying to paste some files from my laptop to desktop. both have ubuntu. From the laptop I can see the desktop under Places - Network. I can see the files in the Desktop but when I try to paste a file it says "permission denied"
What can I do on the Desktop so it allows my laptop to paste files?
Hi Guys,
I upgraded to 64bit ubuntu and every now and again (quite often though) i am unable to to type into the search box for google in chrome and firefox, i havent tried other browsers as these are the 2 i primarily use.
Has anyone else experienced this? any solutions?
also i'm unable to drag the slider in youtube (in firefox) to scan through videos.
I'm using VMware Studio 2 to create virtual appliances.
Now we want to make an appliance of a 64 bit Ubuntu distro, but it's not in the template list, like Redhat 64bit and CentOS 64bit.
Is there a way to do this?
I have mounted various partions in ubuntu by creating folders in /media.
Now when i log via root and execute chmod 700 /media/folder then permission stays same 777.
They don't change even with root

Hello I am new to ubuntu linux and am currently trying to configure my netbeans to work with PHP. I have found several tutorials to install all the applications I need and have installed a virtual directory for netbeans to run in. Unfortunately, whenever netbeans or I myself go to my local host I get an error 403. I tried modifying my settings to allow from localhost (instead of allow from all) but this did not work and am completely out of ideas.
Is that possible to organize nightly builds at Ubuntu Server using MSVC++ compiler?
I mean is it possible to install Visual Studio 2008 and run msbuild.exe in Wine by scheduler to compile C++ solutions?
EDIT: I have used VirtualBox with Win7 in in. It works fine.
I am trying to give my server a static ip address. This seems to work without any problems, but I can't seem to get an internet connection after this process. I've also changed my dns server to 8.8.8.8 (google dns right?).
OS: Ubuntu Server 12.04 x86
Environment: Virtualbox
File: /etc/network/interfaces:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.2.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.2.0
broadcast 192.168.2.255
gateway 192.168.2.1
My goal is to create an install disk which will install ubuntu with a specific suite of packages. Then use and re-use to initialize multiple systems for reproducing regression testing test bed scenarios.
On CentOS exists the yum versionlock option, where you can lock a package to a specific version, so it is never upgraded past that.
I would like that
puppet-server-2.7.19-1
puppet-2.7.19-1
stays on 2.7, and never upgraded to 3.0. Puppet Labs have released 3.0 and put it into the stable repo, so 2.7 will get upgraded to 3.0, which is not backwards compatible.
Does Ubuntu have something similar to yum versionlock?
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 beta 1. When I try to update & upgrade I get the following error:
Setting up install-info (4.13a.dfsg.1-5ubuntu1) ...
/etc/environment: line 4: LC-ALL=en_US.UTF-8: command not found
dpkg: error processing install-info (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
Errors were encountered while processing:
install-info
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks
I just installed Ubuntu Server 12.04 in an office machine with openSSH, DNS and LAMP Server. I also made the IP static and I can access the server in my office premises easily, but when I try to access my server from my home it is not working.
I know I have to make some changes and need to install some firewall (I had just gone through with a couple of posts) but I guess an expert advise will save my time here.
When i upload my rails app via SFTP to production server which is running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS all cyrillic characters in my files look like this:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/347209/chars.png
As you can see, only parts of words are broken. And because of this rails app doesn't start with syntax error.
Also i'm getting errors like
ActionView::Template::Error (incompatible character encodings: ASCII-8BIT and UTF-8)
