When login through a terminal into my Ubuntu 9.10 Server, I see the following message:
=> There is 1 zombie process.
How can I identify this zombie process?
I've installed the beta version of Ubuntu 10.04 server edition (x64), but the system doesn't have an internet connection. Is there a way I can find out what packages are in the apt repository with nothing more than a web browser?
The reason I'm asking, is because I will have an internet connection available when the production system goes live, but it simply isn't possible to internet connect my development system.
I have just installed Ubuntu for the first time using VMWare on Windows 7. Everything has been installed smoothly but after the installation in the login screen username is coming and when I try to enter password it is not taking any input, keyboard is not working at all. After moving away from Ubuntu keyboard and everthing else is working fine. Does anyone know what's the cause behind this ?
Hi,
I am working with Ubuntu latest version. While installing via apt-get install i tried to abort that by pressing Ctrl+Z. It terminate successfully ;). But next time when i tried to use apt-get, i got some error "lock" and "temporally unavailable" something like that and **I unfortunately i delete the /var/lib/dkpg folder.**
after that i cant install anything from apt-get, getting an error.
E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on libattr1
so how can i solve this issue?
Hi there,
I have a dual boot system on dell xps 9000 with windows 7 and ubuntu. But after I performed system backup on it as requested by windows 7 I am no longer able to boot into the computer, instead at the beginning after bios I get the following message:
Grub loading. The symbol ' ' not found. Aborted. Press any key...
I tried to change bios booting config to starting with harddrive and it still returned the same message. Using windows boot disk only asks me to do another system backup or threatens to delete my harddrive completely. The only solution I have so far is to reinstall ubuntu, but that leaves 2 additional copies of ubuntu on my computer. Is there a simpler way to fix the situation so I can actually boot into windows? Thanks so much.
I can't seem to find a guide or reference on how to configure the 'indicator-applet' (aka MessagingMenu) that came about in the 9.04 release of Ubuntu. It's that little mail icon that lists messaging apps.
I can find docs about what it should do, people complaining about how it works, references that the API changed in 9.10, but not much on how to change the configuration.
The MessagingMenu design spec page says that the config file should be at $HOME/.config/indicators/messages/applications/, but there's nothing there on my install (9.10).
I have Xubuntu 11.10, XFCE. I want to send DBus signals to the players so that they worked like in Gnome: you press 'play' key, it plays, 'next' - it forwards, and so on.
For that, I need to bind to the multimedia keys a set of commands like this:
dbus-send --dest=org.gnome.Rhythmbox ...
Now, I searched and can't find it: what signals should I send? I need only 3 events: play, forward and rewind.
On a Ubuntu 9.10 system:
$ uname -a
Linux ionut-laptop 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:04:26 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
the files /var/log/wtmp and /var/log/btmp are empty:
$ ls -la /var/log/?tmp
-rw-rw---- 1 root utmp 0 2010-04-10 16:54 /var/log/btmp
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root utmp 0 2010-04-10 16:54 /var/log/wtmp
Because of this, the last(1) command is not working.
What to do?
I'm having trouble finding PECL on a Mac OS X 10.6 machine. I'm using the default install of Apache and PHP for development and have installed MongoDB, however I can't work with Mongo/PHP without the mongo PECL extension.
Is there a copy of PECL on a Mac or will I have to install it? If so, where is it? If not, do you know of a good tutorial for getting it up-and-running?
I've tried the obvious stuff: sudo find / -name "pecl" -print returns nothing
Thanks very much
I have 1.5 GB of RAM installed on an older Dell, Pentium 4. I just installed Ubuntu 9.1 and the system is only seeing 244 MB of RAM, even though there is 1.5 GB on the system. The BIOS sees all of it. I ran a Knoppix disc and it only saw 25 MB upon booting.
I made no particular changes to the installation taht would affect this. I looked through the BIOS and the only setting I could see was the AGP aperture. Not even sure what this is.
Anyone know where I went wrong?
I also tried moving the memory modules around on the board. Booted with the 1 GB stick, still saw 244 MB.
This question is similar to set open_files_limit, but there was no good answer.
I need to increase my table_open_cache, but first I need to increase the open_files_limit. I set the option in /etc/mysql/my.cnf:
open-files-limit = 8192
This worked fine in my previous install (Ubuntu 8.04), but now in Ubuntu 10.04, when I start the server up, open_files_limit is reported to be 1710. That seems like a pretty random number for the limit to be clipped to.
Anyway, I tried getting around it by adding a line like this in /etc/security/limits.conf:
mysql hard nofile 8192
I also tried adding this to the pre-start script in mysql's upstart config (/etc/init/mysql.conf):
ulimit -n 8192
Obviously neither of those things worked. So where is the hoop that has been added between Ubuntu 8.04 and 10.04 through which I must jump in order to actually increase the open files limit?
I have a share set up on my ubuntu 10.04 box, and the mac can see it, connect to it, and sort of write to it.
When I try to copy a whole tree to the share, I get an error saying "The operation cannot be completed because you don't have access to some of the items". If I zip the directory, and copy that over, it succeeds.
Any explanation?
My smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = wg
netbios name = ubuntu
security = user
[Wife Debris]
path = /home/wife/wifedebris
read only = no
guest ok = no
force user = wife
force group = wife
I'm currently testing Ubuntu 10.04, and have install the VirtualBox software. I have also installed Ubuntu 10.04 as a VirtualBox guest running on the host system.
I've installed the VirtualBox Utils into the guest OS, as follows:
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-guest-utils
What I want to be able to do is to initiate a controlled shutdown of the guest, from the host system using the VBoxManage command.
I first tried this command:
VBoxManage controlvm guest poweroff
which worked, but didn't initiate a controlled shutdown, it effectively pulls the plug on the guest.
I've since found that this command should do the trick:
VBoxManage controlvm guest acpipowerbutton
but this doesn't appear to do anything.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
p.s. I don't want to use SSH & Certificates to do this, as I'm also going to be running Windows guests, and I want the solution to work for all guests.
I've been playing with multitouch on my Thinkpad and read a few tutorials on how to setup it. One of them mentioned /usr/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-x11-synaptics.fdi, I edited it and enabled SHMConfig through it. Later I found out about /etc/hal/policy/ directory and put some customization for my touchpad there as well in separate fdi file.
But now it looks like touchpad doesn't care about my customizations. I have gsynaptec installed and can configure it though GUI, I can configure it with synclient but I can't set any values through fdi files. I even turned off SHMConfig, reverting 11-x11-synaptics,fdi file to it's original state but it seems like SHMConfig still enabled, otherwise I wouldn't be able to configure properties in runtime.
So, I was thinking, maybe there's additional hal files I don't know about. How can I find them, particularly ones responsible for turning SHMConfig on?

I tried to boot my T41 from a Ubuntu Lucid liveCD and it worried me.
The white text on violet background had green pixels around it.
After the splashscreen went away Ubuntu popped an alert that the installer had some errors and will now run live.
The live system worked fine I guess...
Did anybody experience such behaviour?
I'm in a ssh connection and I would like to play a sound after a command completes (not on the server where I connected).
Something:
ssh [email protected]
make && play-sound-local
I have built-in pc-speaker disabled so echo -e "\a" doesn't work.
Any suggestions?
I have installed Ubuntu 10.04. It works fine, but when I press Ctrl-C in gnome-terminal I get:
user@desktop:~$ ^C
user@desktop:~$ ^C
user@desktop:~$
In Ubuntu 9.04 (I did have it before) it was so:
user@desktop:~$
user@desktop:~$
user@desktop:~$
Who knows how can I fix this?
I'm trying to install Moonlight, but I can only find instructions for setting it up in Firefox. And in the Ubuntu 10.04 repositories, I found a "moonlight-plugin-mozilla" package, but not "moonlight-plugin-chrome" (or similar). Is there any way to do this, or does Moonlight not yet run in Chrome?

After I downloaded the source for lua, I followed the install instructions, doing...
make linux install
make generic install
I've also done the make test and it passes, printing out Hello World, from Lua 5.1.
However, I can't link to the lua libraries in CodeBlocks. I know where lualib.a is (usr/local/lib) which I set in my Search Directories for the linker. I still get error messages like...
undefined reference to lua_isstring
Am I missing something critical here?
P.S. I had this running on Windows via Visual Studio.
Hi all,
Here are the specs beforehand:
ECS K7SEM motherboard
AMD Duron 900MHz
2x 256MB PC133 SDRAM
The Best Power MT-500P 500W PSU
Integrated graphics
No hard drive
DVD-ROM - will update with brand & model
Now, I was starting up this machine after it was left outside for 3 months in winter weather. (I got this from a friend.) I was able to get it started and tried to load Ubuntu from the DVD-ROM. It was fairly successful and got up to the point when the Ubuntu logo is glowing. However, when Ubuntu was about to go to the main screen, the computer crashed and automatically rebooted.
Is there any reason why this is happening?
Also, I should mention that when I try to hit Delete on the BIOS screen to go to Setup, it only shows a screen with four lines saying something Novell something... I will edit with exact lines.
Should I be resetting the BIOS or something?
Thanks in advance.
I can boot into my Windows XP or Ubuntu 10.04 with no problem. When I was on 9.10, I can usually browse to my windows partitions with the File Browser. Now that I have upgraded to 10.04, I can't see my windows partitions anymore through File Browser. Any ideas how to fix this?
