Installation of older ubuntu

By bryan hamilton at 04/25/2013 - 20:21

I would like to start off by saying that "I love ubuntu" but i'm not a
fan of the new user interface (ubuntu 12.04). I see that most other OS
dev's seem to be going in a similar route in gui design. anyway I've
recently upgraded to 12.04 (fresh install) and would like to downgrade

my question is,

if i was to 'downgrade' to say any older and now unsupported 'LT' will i
be able to download applications and such forever-ever-ness ? meaning
are the repo's staying online/accessible via apt?

New nautilus - underwhelming...

By Dave Woyciesjes at 04/25/2013 - 17:56

Installed 13.04. Setup Gnome3/Shell.

Does anyone have a recommendation for something to replace the new
less-functional nautilus file manager? Maybe a way to get Nautilus from
12.10?

gnumeric cannot save as latex table in new versions?

By Reeyarn at 04/24/2013 - 14:07

Hi, when I was in Ubuntu 12.10, my gnumeric 1.10 can save a spreadsheet as
latex table, but now in 13.04 it is 1.12 but cannot save as latex? The
option simply disappeared?

In gnome project website, however, it said it can save as .tex.

So why has Ubuntu removed this feature?

Slow 12.04 on a Netbook with LVMs

By Amichai Rotman at 04/24/2013 - 13:35

Hello,

I have an Asus EeePC running 12.04.2 set up with 3 Pencrypted partitions:

One for the / (System); One for swap and one for /home

The system becomes slower and slower. I noticed that the encrypted
partitions are set up as extended (=not primary). I read somewhere that
that slows down the file access.

I want to redo the installation, and I have a few questions:

1. Can I use an external hard drive formatted as NTFS to backup the
files on /home (ext4)?
2.

fresh install over ssh

By Patrick Asselman at 04/24/2013 - 07:27

Good afternoon all,

I have a remote server that I wish to reinstall. It is running a 32 bit
Ubuntu 12.04.2LTS (server) but it should have been running a 64 bit
version instead. (The 32 bit version suffers from oom-killer shooting
down random processes as soon as it is doing what it is supposed to do,
which is handle some large databases).

So I found this guide to install Ubuntu via ssh:
<a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/OverSSH" title="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/OverSSH">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/OverSSH</a>

What I don't grasp is: at what point does the system know to boot the
new system instead of the currently running system?

LibreOffice menu problem remains

By Liam Proven at 04/23/2013 - 13:05

So I am now running beta 2 of Raring, I guess, and LibreOffice's menus
still are completely inaccessible via the keyboard.

This is a really serious problem. It renders the entire suite unusable for me.

Is there any official way to draw more attention to this really quite
critical bug?

unresponsive ssh sessions

By Rajeev Prasad at 04/23/2013 - 12:38

I have ubuntu running in a VM on Win 7. problem is, my ssh connections to remote host on ethernet LANs become unresponsive next day (or maybe after some hours). I can see the window fine and if open another session to the same host, i can see my old session on remote host (with command w).

I am guessing ti is because of limited RAM, but I am not sure. I do not run any server App or big script program etc.

cinnamon on 1304

By Gary Kirkpatrick at 04/21/2013 - 09:39

I've tried Cinnamon on 13.04 and so far it seems fine except the full menu
is not visible when I use just my laptop screen. I have reported this.

Also I can not find a place to add a vpn. Clicking on the the gnome network
manager does not reveal the configure/connect submenu as it does in
Unity. I have posted this question on a Mint forum but if anyone here
knows the answer or where to find out, please let me know. The menu does
appear in Unity.

13.04 does work in 3d mode on my ausu 1025 ce/cedarview drivers unit. It
is sluggish.

No driver for this device?

By JD at 04/19/2013 - 23:51

Ubuntu 12.10 - latest updates.
I have a flash memory device, which lspci reports as

00:09.0 CardBus bridge: O2 Micro, Inc. OZ711M1/MC1 4-in-1 MemoryCardBus
Controller (rev 20)
00:09.1 CardBus bridge: O2 Micro, Inc. OZ711M1/MC1 4-in-1 MemoryCardBus
Controller (rev 20)
00:09.2 System peripheral: O2 Micro, Inc. OZ711Mx 4-in-1 MemoryCardBus
Accelerator

However, inserting an sd card into it's slot does not
result in the kernel recognizing any media presence in the slot.

Does anyone have this device? Are you able to use it?

indicator-weather broken, should we drop it from raring?

By Sebastien Bacher at 04/19/2013 - 10:26

Hey,

Looking to the most reported raring issues, I noticed that
indicator-weather is listed in there. Investigating the issue I ended on

impossible to add new location to the list ""

The problem is that the code uses a service which has been discontinued

scp (ssh) through home router

looking at:

I have two machines, dur.bounceme.net (a FQDN which will not resolve to
an IP address) and dur2 on the same network. I think I might've renamed
dur2 to vulcan.

In any event they're connected to a netgear router -- they're on the same
network.

I should refer to them by ip address, because the hostname's aren't
"real" in that they won't resolve to an IP address in DNS?

thanks,

Ubuntu boots but Xen hypervisor doesn't

By Aaron Dewell at 04/17/2013 - 19:00

Hello all,

Having a problem with installing Xen on a server. I have 13.04 successfully running already, but when I try to boot the Xen 4.2 Hypervisor, I get:

WARNING! No console will be available to OS

amongst the various grub boot messages (after "loading xen" and before "loading linux").

This is on a Mac Mini, and I'm using grub-efi (which boots fine and is working). I wouldn't mind removing the hybrid partition table at some point, but it's working for now and I'm less motivated due to that.

laptop won't boot properly after install

By thufir at 04/17/2013 - 17:03

When the laptop boots, It cycles between showing a mouse on a black
background. It seems an infinite loop. Sometimes there's distorted
writing which I can't read or capture. I just installed 12.10 (server)
on the laptop and xubuntu on top of that.

I think that I'm running into a problem I had before on another
computer.

How to avoid ARP flux issue in linux?

By Kevin Peterson at 04/17/2013 - 08:37

Hi,

I have a setup where eth0 and eth1 interfaces are in same broadcast domain.

But i have a virtual IP configured on eth1 and a physical ip on eth0.
It is observed that if eth0 is default route then eth0 will respond to arp request for the IP configured on eth1.

This would cause an issue since traffic will be routed via eth0.

Thanks,
Kevin Peterson

Ubuntu 13.04 Kernel Configuration

By Leann Ogasawara at 04/16/2013 - 14:26

Hi All,

Now that we are past the Ubuntu Raring Ringtail 13.04 Kernel Freeze, the
Ubuntu Kernel Team felt this would also be an appropriate time to
advertise what we intend to be the final kernel configurations for the
main distro kernel flavors. The purpose is to expose the main
configuration changes and provide pointers to the full configurations
for those who are interested. To aid in the comparison of kernel config
changes from Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal) to Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring), we have
generated a kernel configuration comparison report [1].

Ubuntu 13.04 Kernel Version

By Leann Ogasawara at 04/16/2013 - 14:25

Hi All,

Now that we are past the Ubuntu Raring Ringtail 13.04 Kernel Freeze, the
Ubuntu Kernel Team felt this would be an appropriate time to officially
confirm the Ubuntu 13.04 kernel will be based on the upstream v3.8 Linux
kernel [1]. For those seeking the specific details of all the changes
provided in the Ubuntu 13.04 kernel, please refer to the ubuntu-raring
git repository [2].

I cannot get gnome-terminal work with Chinese.

By Magicloud Magiclouds at 04/16/2013 - 01:40

Hi,
I am using Precise. I set LC_ALL and LANG to zh_CN.UTF-8 in
/etc/default/locale and /etc/environment.
Login to tty1, `locale` gives correct result. But in xwindow,
gnome-terminal, `locale` returns everything in POSIX, except LANG and
LANGUAGE are empty.
Then I exported these envs in .bashrc, it was OK with `locale`. But utf8
Chinese still shown messy.

Disappearing icons

By JD at 04/15/2013 - 16:50

Hi All.
Ubuntu 12.10 - latest updates.
Mate Desktop 1.6.0
I have arranged my 2 panels vertically
on right and left sides of screen.
On the left, I used to see the nm-applet icon displaying
the status of my current connection, and provided me
with list of available networks, and ability to edit
the networks I connect to .... etc.

It has disappeared.

I used to run gnome-sound-applet, and it would
place the icon for the volume control on the left panel.

It has disappeared.

Ubuntu Touch Summary (week 15)

By Jim Hodapp at 04/15/2013 - 15:21

Hello everyone,

Here's your weekly dose of amazing accomplishments on Ubuntu Touch!

- - camera-app: Pinch to zoom is now working in the camera-app preview
window before you take a picture. This is excellent work done by Renato.

- - gallery-app: Many improvements were added to improve the autopilot
tests and make them more useful as well as more stable. A bug that
caused a loop of constant redrawing was fixed. Old and unused QML
files were purged from the codebase. Renato fixed a bug where a user
could press the undo/redo/revert buttons even when there were no items to
undo/redo/revert.

Automatic GRUB selection

By James Devine at 04/15/2013 - 10:23

I've noticed that if Ubuntu has a problem booting and I have to reboot in
the middle (or it reboots itself), the second boot requires a manual
selection and does not automatically select the default option. Is there a
way to make it always choose the default option, or at least try a couple
times before requiring manual intervention?

a directory for files to print which
are in a form that the server daemon
would know how to handle?

timeouts between ubuntu hosts because of bogus arp

By Jason Paul Joines at 04/14/2013 - 18:13

I had a very strange problem with connections timing out, getting
"connection reset by peer" errors, as well as with SSH and HTTP
connections just being unusably slow. The end points were my Kubuntu
12.04.2 on ThinkPad T510 client system and my Ubuntu 10.04.4 Xen virtual
server hosted by Linode with about 18 hops between them.

The problem only happened when using the wired connection on my
laptop. When using wifi on the client, everything was fine.

I installed 12.04 regular Ubuntu, but run XFCE. Sometimes I see a popup
for lubuntu, so a few things might be installed. How do I determine which
version of restricted-extras do I want?

I installed "regular" extras but didn't get everything:

root@dur:~#
root@dur:~# aptitude install libavcodec-extra-53
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libavcodec-extra-53{b} libavutil-extra-51{ab} libopenjpeg2{a}
0 packages upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
Need to get 6,285 kB of archives.

Support for non-english keyboards

By JD at 04/13/2013 - 18:15

Hi All,
I would like to try to type in none-english script.
I can either buy a keyboard made for a specific
language or buy a thin silicon overlay whichare made
for specific brand name keyboards, like HP,or Apple, ...etc.
Unfortunately, I do not find any overlays for generic USB based
keyboards.

My question is: what do I have to do so that the application
(such as FireFox, or Thunderbird, or even the gnome-terminal)
will display the script of that specific language?

Thanks for your help.
