questions

I recently tried Kubuntu through windows(wubi) and I want to permanently install it but i have some questions please,

1-when it was installing through wubu it came to the part of installing apps.(80%) and gave an error so i skipped
2-should I convert the file system to ext3 or ext4 and NTFS is not possible?
3 If I did this file system conversion or format will I loose anything If I did applied this to a separate drive other than that which has all the needed data and the drive for windows?

thanks in advance :)

Problems with X11 in FC12.

I dont know if these are known problems (with work arounds) but
I see at least two major problems with X11 (and the nouveau driver for Nvidia
cards).

(1) The driver no longer understands <+> and <-> to move
among the definitions on the MODE line.

(2) On two separate systems here, on startup, X11 seems to throw away all MODE
definitions except those within epsilon of 60Hz.

[support] Views 2 and Reverse node reference

Hi,

I have 3 content types Album, Artist, Audio (from audio module) I have
added node reference in the following order:

Artist is referenced from Album and Audio
Audio is referenced from Album

When I try to retrieve a list of all albums in the sytem with Album and
Artist info as I have artist referenced from Album, its straight forward.
Where as When I wish to list Albums per Artist on view of artists, I dont
get anything back as artist is referred by album and not vice versa.

missing bootmenu entries

Upgraded the Jaunty and Hardy kernels on my multi boot tower yesterday.
The Jaunty upgrade offered the customary choice of grub menus. The Hardy
upgrade didn't. When I rebooted Jaunty it ran the latest kernel. Hardy
didn't show the 2.6.24-26 or 2.6.24-27 kernels in the boot menu. They
were present in the /boot/grub/menu.lst file. Looks like I've been
running the 2.6.24-25 kernel all this time without realizing it. Found a
couple of Google hits that talked about the problem but with no
resolution.

Never ran into this before. Anyone have any ideas, docs, pointers?

gnome-applet-netspeed (was: Re: Purging the F13 orphans)

I've had a brief look at the open tickets, squashed one duplicate.

At least two show symptoms of memory corruption. They crashed in
g_object_unref with a saved icon reference that isn't modified by the
applet (because it must not be modified except for unref'ing it).

One crash is deep in Pango layout, with no call trace from within the
netspeed applet. With memory corruption somewhere, that backtrace
doesn't tell much else. Unless one is intimately familiar with Pango
and can rule out a problem in Pango. The netspeed applet only calls
a very few layout functions.

Pulseaudio only available output device on Fedora 12?

I am running fedora 12 (2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP) and I am
only showing pulseaudio as an output device for sound.

I have been trying to get a Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio card working
with no luck but even when I go back to the on board chipset for audio I
only show pulseaudio as an output device. The on board chipset does
provide sound but I do not see the on board chipset as one of the
choices like I am used to seeing.

I am not even sure how to ask the question but shouldn't I see more than
just the pulseaudio choice for output devices?

Full disk encryption: Key on USB storage device

I want to encrypt my Netbooks HDD.

If I understand
http://kuparinen.org/martti/comp/ubuntu/en/cryptolvm.html correctly,
that is possible with the Alternate install CD.

But what I miss: Is it possible to put the key file onto a USB stick so
that it is loaded automatically from there at boot time? Long time ago,
I looked at the Gentoo initrd script, which apparently supports this.

A bit more sophisticated: Is it possible to put the whole boot partition
including the key file onto a USB drive?

I also found https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SmartCardLUKSDiskEncryption, which
sounds nice.

help verifying a site using Firefox

Hi all,

I'm currently on f10 using their firefox 3.0.15 build to which I've
installed firebug. I don't know whether firebug or firefox is the
culprit but the site displays correctly using Galeon and Chrome (with
firebug). I'd like to determine if it's the site's problem or that of
Firefox/Firebug but it smells like a bug in the site's javascript.

The problem occurs when I try to use CapitalOne's web site.

postfix truncating "To:"-recipient list

Hello!

We are running postfix 2.3.8 on Debian etch with a pretty much standard
configuration (we didn't tweak any limit settings etc.)

If I send an email with 49 recipients all emails get delivered (so the
envelope recipient list is complete) but the recipient list in the header
"To:" gets truncated. Interestingly at 960 characters, the next email
recipient with address is 60 characters long.

In a dump of the traffic on port 25 on the mailer everything looks ok (the list
has CR/LF at the end of every recipient, so the SMTP line length should be
ok).

when we'd enact no frozen rawhide. The timing is a bit tight, so we may

would be two nightly trees being published.

admin GUI for Postfix (was: Re: Setup "SMTP authentication" ...)

snip

My thought is that to make a useful administrative GUI, you would
need to be a Postfix expert. And if you were, what advantage does
this GUI give you? Not much that I can see.

Typically the goal of a GUI is to put highly technical matters in the
hands of non-technical people. For email admin, I think that is a
terribly bad idea.

If someone qualified disagreed, and decided to work on making a GUI,
IMO the best possible model for it would be SWAT, the Samba Web
Administration Tool. In fact SWAT itself could probably be adapted
fairly easily.

SWAT is not a "point-and-drool" GUI.

some question about apt-get source

Dear all:
I try to get some source file as I need, like gcc and xorg, so I try
to use "sudo apt-get source gcc" and "sudo apt-get source xorg".
But I find what I get are *.dsc and *.gz 2 files and I find the file
after taring the gz is not what I want.

gcc-defaults_1.74ubuntu2.dsc
gcc-defaults_1.74ubuntu2.tar.gz
xorg_7.4~5ubuntu3.dsc
xorg_7.4~5ubuntu3.tar.gz

Does that mean I should get really source by the dsc and gz files?
or I use the wrong way to get source code?
(xorg should use git, etc.)

unable to configure UEC in VNET_MODE=system

Hi Friends,

I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 and configured UEC on that machine. I am
facing few issues and have some questions.

Instances were getting restarted but were not accessible with the
default packages of eucalyptus. Once I upgraded the eucalyptus
packages the instances were accessible.

However, I am only able to run instances if I give --addressing
private. I have not given any public ips as I want to VMs to get the
IPs from the already configured DHCP server. For this I have setup
VNET_MODE="SYSTEM" in /etc/eucalyptus/eucalyptus.conf.

ubuntu still offer their product on CD, its cheaper for me to download

There's lots of variegated advice around on turning off ipv6, much of it

Are there big block device regressions or changes in rawhide kernel?

I'm seeing very strange problems in Rawhide at the moment where a
guest kernel (running under qemu) gets stacks of block device errors.
These occur under both IDE and virtio. The block device is backed
with a plain file on the host, so obviously no real error should be
occurring.

It's confusing that it happens with both IDE (ie. libata) and virtio.

Here is the kernel output on boot. The guest has 4 block devices
attached, and as I said above they are just plain empty files on the
host side.

Seems to be a very recent change (< 5 days ago).

I/O error while rebuilding an md raid-5 array

Hi,

I have some trouble with my md raid-5 array. It has four 500GB drives
(sdb1-sde1). sde started giving some SMART error (Pending Bad Sectors), so
just to be safe, I decided to replace it. I declared it to be faulty and
removed it from the array and add a new drive and the rebuilding was
automatic. But before the rebuilding can finish, I got an I/O error from
sdb1 and it was declared faulty by md.

Now I have two faulty drives and things don't look good. However, I was
able to added the second drive back to the array and md seemed not mind and
still reports "active sync".

Re: No more OOo in UNR 10.04

live.

It is true and false.
Some old computer equipped with CDROM I encountered were broken. Accumulated dust, weaken laser etc. But it is true, some CDROM drive survives.

I was asking a computer vendor a CD+/-RW drive around a couple years ago and he replied, "A CDRW drive costs about the same with a DVD-ROM/CDRW these days. Do you still want it?" Ewww, I prefer DVD-ROM/CDRW, thank you.

Today, I will having a hard time finding a DVD-ROM/CD-RW. Most vendors sells DVD writer. Why wouldn't they? It reads and writes DVDs AND CDs.

It is true.

Fedora 12 problem with USB serial device

I am using an FTDI232RL usb-to-serial converter for a serial port on
my laptop running Fedora 12. For some reason, this is recognized,
but I am unable to communicate with the device. When I plug in the
device on my desktop running Fedora 9 it works fine (I do need to add
myself to a different group to have access to the usb port however
(uucp vs dialout).

What is seapplet?? Running at 97% and 100% of CPU.

Started out that I thought this was an issue with a new install, but just
checked my home AMD 64 Phenom II and it has one of its CPUs running at
100% with seapplet as well. Don't see anything on P4 systems?
==Start of issue ==
I've just setup an older AMD 64 machine with Fedora 12, and just saw
seapplet running at 97% of the CPU. Didn't see this running at this level
before today. Got nothing on the man with the command so wondering what
this is. Just installed it on Saturday, so perhaps this is something that runs
after setup.

Wierd httpd Problem

I have a brand new Fedora 11 server up and have it set up for LAMP.
httpd loads and works apparently fine and I was able to load WordPress
and it is visable via the WWW. However, I cannot connect out from the
WordPress installation and askimet is claiming I have a DNS problem.

SELinus is set to Disabled , iptables is a straight allow all and DNS
Report returns one yellow warning as both my nameservers are on the same
class C.

This is wierd, I run five other domains with the exact same DNS setup
and have no problems.

Any ideas?

Non-backlit, Monochrome LCD or other good displays for shell use

Hello,

This question is not Ubuntu-specific, but as an Ubuntu and Linux user, I
thought I would turn here first. I would appreciate any leads about where
better to ask this question.

I find using modern-day CCFL-powered LCD displays (tethered or external) to
be exhausting because of the intensity of staring at a focused light source
for so long (I also have an eye condition).

How to get out of sh:grub>

Hi There,

I had been searching for help all over the place. Hopefully this is the right one.
I'm beginner with ubuntu, I have used ubuntu wubi 9.10 for this past few weeks without any problems, until yesterday. I was installing a package update and was told to restart. After restart it gave me the message below ;

GNU GRUB version 1.97 beta 4

[Minimal Bash-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions.

Linux dpkg Software Report version upgrade.

Hello,

This note is for anyone who previously downloaded, and installed my
Linux dpkg Software Report.

I have learned more about bash, and have incorporated the new tricks
I've learned into a complete re-writing of the script set.

The newest version 1.20 no longer has any bugs in it's output
whatsoever. I have thoroughly tested it, and all is well now.

I have also gotten all four textual list delimiter representations
[-,*,+,o] interpreted, and correctly formatted into HTML list structures
now.

pin transmission-daemon on karmic server to lucid version

Dear all,

Currently I'm setting up my Karmic based headless home server. I've
installed the transmission-daemon bittorrent client package to be used
with the Transmission web interface.

Probably I will update the box to 10.04 LTS when it releases, and keep
it on that for some years

I would like to use the lucid package (version 1.83) in stead of the
karmic package (version 1.75), because Transmission supports moving
finished files to a different directory since version 1.80 (see
http://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/1483).

The idea of compiling transmission-daemon myself does't warm me.

Zen kernel, what are advantages if any?

Dear fellow Fedora users,

I have read a bit about the zen kernel

http://zen-kernel.org/

and I kindly ask if there are any advantages to running a zen-kernel as opposed to running a Fedora kernel or a native kernel from kernel.org?

I have run Fedora kernels, but on occasions run kernels from kernel.org by copying fedora kernel config to the newly compiled kernel.

Re: basic - continued

lack

You have it the wrong way around. Backwards compatibility would mean the
latest MS office can open older word formats, which it can. What you are
calling wrongly backwards compatibility is actually forwards
compatibility, or future proofing - Asking that a 6 year old application
can open a format only released in recent years. Not the same thing.

Yeah, a 6 year old application isn't as good as an up to date one. No
surprise there ...

I concede the point - perhaps I have allowed my anti MS prejudices to
taint my suppositions.

Option 322 quicksilver

Hello,

I am Jeff, and my email is:
<...> at yahoo dot com

I am new to linux, but not new to computers and programming (retired, having worked in the latter part of my career programming and working with data in the Microsoft quicksand). I would like now to learn linux on my laptop (my only PC at the moment). I had rummaged around, and some folks advised me try Ubuntu. I did so, and I am currently dual-booting MS Win XP and Ubuntu 9.10.

Unfortunately, I quickly learned Ubuntu 9.10 does not support my internet USB device from AT&T, the Option Icon 322 Quicksilver.

Cropped Display

Hello

I want to install kubuntu on my media pc and tried the recent live cd.
The Desktop started properly but the screen configuration seems to be
wrong. Display is a TV with resolution 1360*768 60Hz via HDMI, kubuntu
sets the right resolution the refresh rate is 59.8Hz, maybe this is
also right?!

The problem is that the Desktop seems to be on the wrong position on
the screen, the right quarter of the screen is black and on the left
side the desktop is cropped.

Any Ideas? If possible I want to fix this with the live CD before
installiung on hard disk.

Thanks
Daniel

Fedora 12 + nvidia driver 190.53 + nvidia GeForce GT 130M + Acer Aspire 5739 = six little desktop on display instead of a desktop

Hi all,

I wrote about Fedora 11 and nvidia driver on october, but I can't solve
the problem.

Now I have this laptop with fedora 12 installed.
With the standard installation I can see only a desktop but drivers
nouveau are not so good for the right resolution that is 1366x768. I can
see at 1200x720.

So
I updated all
I configured the rpmfusion free and nonfree
I installed kmod-nvidia version 190.53 for PAE, with nvidia-settings,
nvidia-xconfig xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-190.53
I removed nouveau
I create the initrd

I modified inittab for init 3
After the reboot, I issued the nvidia-xconfig
BUT ...

Plymouth

Hi all,

Has there been any work on a Plymouth splash theme for Kubuntu? Right
now I just get an ugly blue bar across the bottom of the screen on
boot.
Does anybody know what is involved in making one? I think something
along the lines of the default wallpaper fading in + a Kubuntu logo
would be great.

[development] Multiple search blocks doing different searches.

Hi,

My goal is to set up a tabbed search block which I'll use Quick Tabs to
build, where each tab will prime the search with a keyword. The step
before this though is to have multiple blocks that do slightly different
searches. Defining the blocks is easy enough but I can't use
hook_db_rewrite_sql (an example from searching at [1]) as I don't know
what block is calling it.

installing XP

Looks like the wifes laptop is on the way to a major repair so we will
be sharing for a while. She insists on using windows. When I install
XP it will windows wipe the entire disk, forcing me to reinstall? Any
way to save any of my ubuntu settings? I do not have an external
drive with me but I do have a CD-DVD rw drive.

Any way to wipe wifes decision making sector and replace parts of it
with ones I prefer? Is there a special Linux program for this?

Thanks to all you fabulous people! I really appreciate this list!

sorry about the lack of apostrophes.

Hardware upgrade and boot issues

Hi all,

Today I upgraded my system from a several-years-old pentium D to a
brand-new core i5. I've preserved my existing hard drives, although I
did make a backup.

After quite some fiddling, I managed to get it to boot up. I replaced
the standard 32 bit kernel by the pae version, and it took another
several attempts to get the system to boot.

I've got the splash screen disabled; when the system stopped booting the
last couple of lines were either about usb initialization or about
invoking fsck.

What could be causing these issues?

KDE 4.3.5 Sound - Continuing Problems

Since my last request for help the comments passed back have started to make
things better.
Thanks to for those.

pauvcontrol now shows sound from Amarok but it does not come out of the
speakers.
Even after the last KDE update this does not work.
I have tried to change xine to gstreamer but that crashed Amarok.

The latest set of KDE updates have not improved things.

the current xine packages installed are

Installed phonon-backend-xine-4.3.80-5.fc12.x86_64 xine phonon
backend
Installed xine-lib-1.1.16.3-5.fc12.x86_64 A multimedia
engine
Installed xine

Ubuntu Versions

I recently tried to updgrade from Jaunty to 9.10

The ubpgrade installation went ok but:

Slower start with a "fancy" login, I liked the look and feel of jaunty
much better. Boottime increased from 35 to 1Minute 10Sec under 9.10.

IBM Thinkpad T40p Ati 9000.
3d Screensavers with good performance, but crash every second time ?

I think stability is much more important than superfast boottimes
anyway. Jaunty for me was a leap forward, 9.10 is no improvement for me.
I hope you take Jaunty again, and try to really improve that.

shorewall setup troubles

Folks,

Base info 8.04 LTS kernel 2.6.24-27-generic

Just spent the morning getting shorewall 4.0.6-1 up and functioning.
Happy with that, as it appears to be configured correctly and everything
still works...

The reason for moving to shorewall was to allow me to subnet a wireless
router (AirLink AR430W) as an access point.

No more OOo in UNR 10.04

Was disappointed to learn that OOo will be replaced with Google Docs in
UNR as of 10.04. I really hate the idea of being forced to work in the
cloud. The link to the details is located here: .

I can only hope that OOo will still be available through Synaptic for UNR.
