Can't receive list mail was: [Re: ubuntu-users Digest, Vol 67, Issue 94]

From the looks of your subject line your user profile is configured to
receive the digest version. Go to:

Modify settings or unsubscribe at:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users

And log into your account at the bottom of the page. Once logged in,
scroll down and change this setting:

If you turn digest mode on, you'll get posts bundled together

Warning: gtk 2.19 sealing work might break builds

Hi,

One of the things GTK upstream has been working on this cycle is to
deprecate direct access to implementation detail in favor of using
accessor functions, you can read about in on:
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/UseGseal

The sealing is not enforced by default, which means things not using yet
the accessor functions will still build...

KDE session slow

Hello all,

I have an Acer Aspire One (AOA-150) In all the system runs very quickly (forget XP, takes 3 minutes to load anything on it, Ubuntu runs circles around it). The only issue I am having with it is that When I am in the KDE session, especially when opening either dolphin or firefox, it takes a long time to load and stalls the whole system. I have taken notice that the hard drive LED flashes a lot when this happens. I also have a Gnome and Xfce which are running flawlessly. Is there a way I can boost the speed?

Problem after ubuntu upgrade

I recently used the wubi installer to dual boot windows and ubuntu 9.10. I upgraded today, and after the install I rebooted, but forgot to pay attention, and the autoselect loaded windows.

After rebooting again, when I select ubuntu to boot, the grub menu comes up, where as before it was the linux kernel list.

I'm pretty sure the not selecting ubuntu on the initial reboot is the problem.

My question is, am I supposed to load one of the linux kernels then ubuntu? Or is there a way to exclude the last upgrade, and return to the linux kernel list?

Thanks,

1 Windows Partiton and 2 Ubuntu partition Help

I have recently messed up big time and erased the ubuntu partition
completely without messing with grub. The "No Ubuntu Partition Grub Rescue"
command up, so I bypassed this by installing Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit again but
this copy of 9.10 was being really glitchy for some reason. I tried to
install ubuntu again to overwite the first Ubuntu partition but I messed up
and it made a second Ubuntu partion (three partitions total). If I delete
the first partition of Ubuntu (the glitchy one) will it mess up my grub?

PCI-Serial port success

I bought this pci card for $9.00 and was surprised it now works.
The original pci serial port I was told was good cost $100.00 so one for
less than $10.00 was a surprise. This Oxford Semiconductor Ltd device
has a jumper that you can set to zero, 5 volts, or 12 volts. I decided
to try 12 volts but it would not work with my fldigi controller.

I set it to 0 volts and the thing works fine. I could not imagine 0
volts was right but it is. So I am now ready to work the digital world
again.

Copying/migrating a VirtualBox image?

I have a production VirtualBox system running on 9.10 with VirtualBox
2.1.4_OSE, and I want to migrate one of the images from there to a
different 9.10 machine. That machine has VirtualBox 3.0.2.

I thought i could just tar up the entire contents of .VirtualBox (given
that all the instances in it were shut down) and untar the resultant
tarball on the new machine, being careful to preserver ownerships, and
permissions.

But, when I do that, and fire up VirtualBox on the new machine, it says it
needs to convert the images.

Upgrade to 2.6.31.20 on dual-boot laptops doesn't work

Hi.

I'm new to Ubuntu, which I installed on two laptops that also have
Windows (XP on one, 7 on the other). Everything was fine while I was
running 2.6.31.14, but I ran into problems when I (or rather the update
manager) updated to 2.6.31.20.
1. The dual-boot system with XP starts grub and I can't get it to do
anything beyond that point. (I can't get much out of grub anyway.)
2. The dual-boot system with W7 proceeds to the point where I can choose
which version to load.

Call for help in the mentoring program

Dear Ubuntu developers,

As you are all aware (or at least I hope so), there is an ongoing
effort to help people who want to start contributing at the Ubuntu
development. The current process of the mentoring is described on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Mentoring

To handle the requests and to do the needed followup, there is a team
called the reception. But to be honest we are not doing a great job
lately.

How to manually install Ubuntu

Is there a way to skip the step where it starts the partitioner?

I've been trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 on an Eeepc for over a week now.
I've overcome a lot of problems but now the install hangs on the
partitioner step.

I would like to boot the Gpartd Live CD, setup and format the disk the
way I want it and then install Ubuntu to it without the partitioner
getting involved.

The SSD seems to be good now. I've used dd to wipe it twice, then I ran
testdisk and it showed no errors.

filesystems on USB hard drives?

Are USB hard drives as flexible with regard to partitioning and
filesystems as internal drives? (I mean, can you partition them any
way you want and use any GNU/Linux-compatible filesystems, including
luks?) I expect the answer is yes, but I'm just curious before I buy
one.

f-spot on Lucid 64 bit

For some reason there are two places that contain the proper files
to start f-spot. The system will not start but does tell you the
problem. It is this:

karl at Lucid:~$ f-spot
It looks like you have 2 settings directories for f-spot
(/home/karl/.gnome2/f-spot and /home/karl/.config/f-spot). Remove one or
run f-spot with --basedir option

So the only problem is to decide which one to delete.

help with openvpn

Hi all,
I'm running Ubuntu 9.1 as a router/gateway/firewall and I've installed OpenVPN

1) the machine as an internal ip address of 192.168.1.7, and it covers the lan
192.168.1.0/24
2) the machine can route traffic from the lan 192.168.1.0/24 to the lan
192.168.4.0/24

I've configured openvpn and I can succesfully connect to the gateway and see
the lan 192.168.1.0/24, but I cannot route in any way to the 192.168.4.0/24
network.

Maximum resolution collapses from 1920x1080 to 640x480 on reboot

Hi,

I was wondering whether anyone had ever experienced anything like this:--

A couple of days ago I was happily running Fedora 12, only to find that
on booting into it that the available screen resolution of 1920x1080,
which had been correctly detected on installation and maintained ever
since, had suddenly dropped to 640x480!

Assuming (incorrectly) that it was down to Fedora's policy of pushing
the nouveau driver and bleeding-edge X.org servers I moved the hidden
config files & directories over to an archive folder and proceeded to
install Ubuntu 9.10.

Duplicated libraries/packages in Lucid

Hello all,

as with the previous LTSes, I just went through lucid/main to check
for duplicated library and program versions. These tend to accumulate
over time and need some cleanup, especially due to the long-term
support nature of Lucid.

I created a blueprint here:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/lucid-duplicated-packages

(still needs to be approved)

The wiki page (linked from the blueprint) has the actual data and
reverse dependencies:

Love and Hate Relationship with Windows

very rarely, but it seems that
love and hate relationships persists because many times, windows software
runs quite smoothly and
Linux don't and then I have to switch to Windows.

respectable piece of software
but somehow I couldn't play some movies ( the great Casablanca for example )
with it and then I switch
to Window on the same machine, and we enjoyed the great movie.

Remote Connection to Linux Machine

Hello,

I study in one of the big university and I don't know that all the 20-30
libraries
in the campus use either Windows or Mac but no Unix/Linux machines. But
all of our personal computers in the department use Ubuntu-9.10 now.

Many time, we need to display graphical applications in the library, but it
seems that I am unable to use "Putty" ( that is what all I know).

How to configure Thunderbird to open PPS attachments in the soffice editor, not viewer?

perl/bash question - html link out of text

I don't know how to modify the:

sed -r 's,.*(http://[^ \"$]+).*,\1,'

command, to not just:
$ echo "test string http://somewhere.uk/ test" | sed -r 's,.*(http://[^
\"$]+).*,\1,'
http://somewhere.uk/

rather output this:
test string http://somewhere.uk/ test

can some perl/bash gods help me? :)

What about the non-critical bugs?

After a stable version is released, additional bugs will be found. Some
of them qualify for an SRU, but a lot of them won't. Perhaps they're not
critical enough, the risc of regression is too high, the bug is down in
the infrastructure, it's just a minor annoyance for a few users, etc.

Yet I believe fixing those bugs would make a lot of Ubuntu users happy.

Right now we deal with that situation mainly by letting our users search
around for a ppa where the bug is fixed. That's a little risky from a
security point of view, and perhaps not as user-friendly as we would
like.

Using printer from VM

Hi,

I have installed WIN XP in VM but would like to be able to access my
printer from it.
I believe one has to set this up as if on a network. I tried this some
months ago but got nowhere as I've never had anything to do with networks.
Could someone give me step by step instructions how to do this -
including what to type in the various screens?
My printer is a hpdeskjet 960C attached to a parallel port and Ubuntu
9.04 is my OS.

Thanks

How to disable a Ram Swap permanently

Hi All,

Originally I am using Ubuntu Karmic with no swap partition / swap file.
The Ubuntu system automatically initializes a 500M Ram Swap for me. Recently
I manage to create a 2G Swap Partition and install the Swap Partition by
adding a line in /etc/fstab.

However, after booting my system, I find that there are in fact 2 swaps
on my system --- the Ram Swap and the Swap Partition.

[lucid - VirtualBox guest] Desktop cursor vansishes after guest additions install.

After installing guest additions and restarting lucid and logging in, the
cursor becomes invisible.

Anyone else having this problem?

My "workaround" for now is using VMware Player as a host instead of
VirtualBox, but I much prefer the latter.

Thanks.

Wrong screen resolution via KVM

How can I tell Kubuntu to use 1050*1680 screen resolution when it does
not show in the available screen resolution options? As there is no
more xorg.conf file, I don't know where to add the necessary
resolution.

Not that this machine _had_ the right resolution until I plugged in
the KVM. It was working fine for months, then today I plugged in the
KVM and the 1050*1680 screen resolution is just gone.

[lucid] Debian GRUB splash screen?

Anyone out there running Lucid?

If so, have you noticed a recent update has suddenly changed your GRUB
boot screen from plain to a background with the Debian logo?

I wish I knew how to remove it.

At first I thought it was somehow installed separately, but in fact it's
part of the grub-pc package.

/etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme is one of the files in said package.

Nothing against Debian, but I'm not running Debian and I like my GRUB
background to be OS-agnostic. :)

ftpd unter Ubuntu einrichten

Hallo ubuntuuser,

kann mir jemand eine gute und ausführliche Anleitung zur Installation
von ftpd empfehlen?

Das Programm würde ich gern unter OpenBSD verwenden.
Da die Dokumentation unter BSD aber ehr spartanisch ist würde ich die
Funktionsweise des Programms gerne unter Ubuntu durchspielen.

Dumb packaging question

Sorry for this newbie question... I google-fu is failing me today. I
have a 32-bit library, but only in binary form. I created a package
to install it in /usr/lib, and it works fine on 32-bit machines.
What's the preferred method to install the library in /usr/lib32 on
64-bit machines?

question about ncdu results

Folks,

I have been watching the thread on the zero space problem and when I saw the
note about ncdu, I decided that it might be a good thing to have. So..

I like it! I was able to recover about 500MB of space on one of my systems that
was used by an application I had forgotten about. Not a lot of space but when
you only have 32GB every MB counts!

In the process I discovered that on two of the four systems it reports an error
in the directory .gvfs for the home directory of a user(not the same user).

Ext3 instead of Ext4

Hello

I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop and some experts suggested that I
should use
ext3 if I want to copy files from windows ( or other file systems ). I am
not sure, but respect
their advises.

I couldn't notice if there is an option to select ext3/ext4 filesystem in
Ubuntu ?

Can someone give right directions in this matter ? I immediate requirements
are to use
e2fsprogs which are filesystem utilties ?

Warning for Nvidia users on Lucid

Hi all,

According to Nvidia, drivers 195.36.08 (i.e. the current driver in the
archive) and 195.36.03 might be affected by the same GPU fan speed
issues which affect the Windows driver:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/announcement.php?a=39

I have been using these drivers for while now without experiencing
that problem but, if you want to be on the safe side, I suggest that
you temporarily switch to the open driver until we're sure that the
problem is fixed.

inclusion of media player mp3 decoder and 56 kbps modem driver

Dear Sir or Madam

Thank for free software and FOSS process. I have used Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and Ubuntu 9.10. The 8.04 LTS version was from a national IT Show in Kathmandu, and the newer release was by downloading it to my 56 kbps modem i have. It took 10 days to download Ubuntu 9.10. The later version does not come with in-built sound player driver (MPEG-1 Layer 3 Decoder) and 56 kbps modem driver. i could not find or compose both of the drivers using my modem and internet with windows installation in my compuetr.

Is linux-doc a subset of linux-source-2.6.31?

Hi,

Synaptic: "The DEB program package linux-doc includes Linux kernel
specific documentation for version 2.6.31. -- The DEB program package
linux-source-2.6.31 includes Linux kernel source for version 2.6.31 with
Ubuntu patches."
So, does linux-source-2.6.31 contain a superset of linux-doc? Can I
delete linux-doc if I have linux-source-2.6.31 installed?

For example both include the same file BUG-HUNTING.

Kind regards,
Detlef Lechner

flawlessly.*
*Just cannot wait for the distribution release.*
*People desiring to try the new alpha may follow the procedure adopted by

hi,

i was thinking of building a new pc using the foxconn G31S motherboard,
and wondered if it would be a good candidate for ubuntu.

Chipset North Bridge : Intel® G31
South Bridge : Intel® ICH7
Audio Realtek 6-channel audio chip
High Definition Audio
2/4/5.1-channel
Support Jack-Sensing function
LAN Realtek 10/100Mb/s LAN chip (G31S)

it appears the graphics are supported, according to [2].

8.04 LTS 64 pulse audio

I'm running 8.04 LTS server 64bit and was trying to get Skype running
properly. I read that in order for this to work I would need to set up pulse
audio. I installed pulse from the repo and followed the instructions given
at this link -
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio

But now I don't have sound on any application... Odd part is if I go into
the sound control and play test sounds, they all come through fine.
Anyone have any other net docs on this or have some information on how to
fix this correctly ?
