It allows you to use graphical applications on an app by app basis and have windows handled by your own desktop environment.

That is, you shouldn't yourself touch areas of the system which the package manager expect to be its domain. A few concrete examples.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you compile/install programs yourself using the ./configure; make; make install method, don't put them directly under &lt;em&gt;/usr&lt;/em&gt;. It is better to use &lt;em&gt;/usr/local&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;/opt&lt;/em&gt;, alternatively (even better) to roll your own deb packages.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When you remove packages you can either do a normal removal or an explicit purge. Unless you purge the package the package manager might leave files behind under &lt;em&gt;/etc&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;/var&lt;/em&gt; and so on. Do not delete these files yourself, as the package manager expects them to be there. Instead use your package manager to explicitly purge the remains of the package.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Using deb package from third party repositories should theoretically be safe, assuming they are carefully built etc. Yet, to be on the safe side you might want to consider removing those packages and/or repositories before you perform an upgrade to a new Ubuntu release. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ok, let me see if I can add some more meat to this answer...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First of all, everything you do in your home directory is perfectly safe in regards to the package manager. It will never touch anything under &lt;em&gt;/home&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;(Of course, you can still cause yourself plenty of confusion by doing bad thing to your home directory. Luckily that is usually be recovered from by removing the broken configuration files from your home directory, and let them be re-created from default at the next use. Do note that the automatic re-creation of default config only goes for your personal configuration files, not the system wide stuff under &lt;em&gt;/etc&lt;/em&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In the role of a (power) desktop user I guess the most common system wide creativity will be installing extra applications, libraries, emacs modes, etc? Again, the really important part is to always put none deb package stuff under &lt;em&gt;/usr/local&lt;/em&gt; instead of under &lt;em&gt;/usr&lt;/em&gt;; to use &lt;em&gt;/usr/local/bin&lt;/em&gt; instead of &lt;em&gt;/usr/bin&lt;/em&gt;, to use &lt;em&gt;/usr/local/share/emacs/23.1&lt;/em&gt; instead of &lt;em&gt;/usr/share/emacs/23.1&lt;/em&gt; and so on.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once you start playing around with server daemons you will soon be confronted by the system wide configuration under &lt;em&gt;/etc&lt;/em&gt;. While you generally can modify files under &lt;em&gt;/etc&lt;/em&gt;, you should &quot;never&quot; actually remove a file or a directory there, unless it was you who created it yourself. Likewise should you be careful about yourself creating new files in there, in case they would later on collide with a configuration file the package manager want to create. That being said, there are definitely files which you can (and should) be created under &lt;em&gt;/etc&lt;/em&gt;. On of the more common examples is defining your Apache VirtualHosts under &lt;em&gt;/etc/apache2/sites-available&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There might be times when you want create files or directories under &lt;em&gt;/var&lt;/em&gt;.

This is a somewhat &lt;a href=&quot;https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebootstrapChroot&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;involved process&lt;/a&gt;, but one you should be able find community help for as many developers set up chroot environments for compiling code.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The second way I know of is to call dpkg directly from the command line.

Once he stops, the people give him &#xA;  food, entertain him. That is one aspect of Ubuntu &#xA;  but it will have various aspects. Ubuntu does not &#xA;  mean that people should not enrich themselves. &#xA;  The question therefore is: Are you going to do so &#xA;  in order to enable the community around you to be able to improve?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28philosophy%29&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;found in wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="4" LastEditorUserId="4" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-07-29T18:47:51.393" LastActivityDate="2010-07-29T18:47:51.393" />

But it doesn't really make a difference.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Reasoning&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There has always been confusion because decimal-style units like KB, MB, GB were used with binary data - KB meant 1024 bytes, not 1000 bytes as might be expected.

File sizes and network bandwidth will be displayed using the decimal prefixes, so a 5kB file will actually be 5000 bytes. This is actually in line with what many (most?) people expect.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Memory usage and some low-level utilities will display sizes using the binary prefixes (KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB). This may cause some initial confusion but is actually better than the status quo where we have one prefix meaning two different things.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Since Windows still uses the old, ad-hoc system a Wine application might display slightly different file sizes for the same file.

There are quite a few howtos lying around on the subject, but here is a crash course:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First of all, LVM is structured so that you pool physical partitions or volumes in to groups that then get split to logical volumes that are used by the operating system. All of these can be inspected with their own set of tools. Physical partitions (or volumes) can be inspected and modified with the pv* tools. Volume groups are inspected and modified with the vg* tools and finally the actual volumes that are used as filesystems can be inspected with lv* toolset.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.drbd.org/users-guide/ch-lvm.html#s-lvm-primer&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Here is a good example on LVM structure&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For inspecting the state of LVM you can use &lt;code&gt;lvs&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;vgs&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;pvs&lt;/code&gt; commands. This will allow you to see how much space is used and where that space is allocated.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can alter the size of logical volumes with the &lt;code&gt;lvresize&lt;/code&gt; command, but be very careful when doing so. The LVM doesn't allow data to be stored outside of the logical volume like regular partitions. So if you shrink a partition by mistake and make it smaller than the filesystem, you will loose the data outside of the partition. Also when you resize a partition you need to resize the filesystem too, it is not automatically resized.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally, here is a full &lt;a href=&quot;http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;LVM HOWTO&lt;/a&gt; covering the bits I've left out here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;LVM is really powerful and useful.

While I did upgrade my server from 8.04 to 10.04, that was only because there were quite a bunch of new libraries I really wanted. Except for that 8.04 is still a solid release, and if there is nothing you explicitly feel is missing I definitely thing you should stay with it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Regarding the desktop the choice is less obvious. The new 10.04 will most likely give a nicer and more polished &quot;desktop experience&quot;. Also, you will notice a lot more improvements in the included desktop software than you generally do with the typical server daemons.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Still, your 8.04 desktop is working for you and while the same will probably go for the 10.04 desktop, a change always comes with the risk of something going wrong. What I guess it comes down to is how burdensome/possible it would be for you to re-install the 8.04 desktop in a worst case scenario.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="24" LastActivityDate="2010-07-30T19:44:32.577" CommentCount="3" />

You should use both of the methods and verify that the firewall is both configured and configured the way you wish it to be.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First, check that the firewall rules have been applied. Pretty much all modern Linux firewall solutions use iptables for firewall. You can see that there are rules in place with iptables command:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;iptables -L&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This will return the current set of rules. There can be a few rules in the set even if your firewall rules haven't been applied. Just look for lines that match your given rulesets. This will give you an idea of what rules have been entered to the system. this doesn't guarantee the validity of the rules, only that they have been understood.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Next, you will use a second computer to test for connections against the host in question. This can be easily done with the &lt;code&gt;nmap&lt;/code&gt; command (found in nmap package). Quick and dirty way of checking is:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;nmap -P0 10.0.0.10&#xA;nmap -P0 -sU 10.0.0.10&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Replace the IP address 10.0.0.10 with your destination hosts IP address.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The first line will scan for TCP ports that are open and available from the second computer. Second line will repeat the scan but this time with UDP ports. -P0 flag will prevent the host from being tested with a ICMP Echo packet, but might be blocked by your firewall rules.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The scan might take a while so be patient. There is also a GUI frontend for nmap called &lt;code&gt;zenmap&lt;/code&gt; which makes it a bit easier to interpret the scan results if there is a lot of output.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="42" LastActivityDate="2010-07-31T15:31:21.363" CommentCount="2" />

If you are typing a command, you need only type enough of the command to provide an initial segment that can only be extended in a single way and then can press TAB once to expand your initial segment to the entire command. So, for instance, on my system &lt;code&gt;umo TAB&lt;/code&gt; expands to &lt;code&gt;umount&lt;/code&gt;. (On my system as what initial segments are extendable only in one way is a function of what you have installed, etc.) If you do not type enough to make the completion unambiguous, TAB will not expand, but a second TAB will display a list of possible completions. So, on my system, &lt;code&gt;um TAB TAB&lt;/code&gt; yields:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;umask       umax_pp     umount      umount.hal&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Tab completion also works on paths: &lt;code&gt;cd /home/me/docs/reallylo TAB&lt;/code&gt; will, if unique, expand to &lt;code&gt;cd /home/me/docs/reallylongdirname&lt;/code&gt; and, if not unique, offer a list of candidate continuations as with &lt;code&gt;um&lt;/code&gt; above.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;2) &lt;code&gt;man some-command&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;some-command --help&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;some-command -h&lt;/code&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you cannot recall how a command works, you can get documentation right there in the shell. &lt;code&gt;man&lt;/code&gt; usually provides the most detail.

There are various things that could disallow access, the most common one being &lt;code&gt;Windows Firewall&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Enable-file-and-printer-sharing&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Here is a quick howto&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now that you have a working share on your windows host, you need to add the printer to your Ubuntu host. This can be accomplished by going to &lt;code&gt;System -&amp;gt; Administration -&amp;gt; Printing&lt;/code&gt; and by selecting the &lt;code&gt;+ Add&lt;/code&gt; button. From there the wizard will guide you through adding the printer. You will need to know the IP address or name of the windows host and name of the printer being shared to complete the wizard.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Next Ubuntu -&gt; Windows:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The easiest way to accomplish this is by using IPP share to connect to the printer. Start by enabling &lt;code&gt;Internet Printing Client&lt;/code&gt; as described in &lt;a href=&quot;http://support.microsoft.com/kb/969708/en-us/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this knowledge base article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;browsing to &lt;a href=&quot;http://IP.OF.UBUNTU.HOST:631/printers/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://IP.OF.UBUNTU.HOST:631/printers/&lt;/a&gt; and select the printer you wish to connect to and make a note of the full URL of the printer. Now go to &lt;code&gt;Printers and Faxes&lt;/code&gt; on the windows host and start adding a network printer. At one point of the installation wizard you will be asked for the location of the printer, in the IPP field enter the address for the printer found on the webpage.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When the wizard asks for the driver to be used for the printer, use the CUPS Windows driver available from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cups.org/software.php?VERSION=Windows+Driver&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;CUPS download page&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Continue through the wizard and fill in the rest of the information normally.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can also use the native driver for the printer, but you will then need to edit the CUPS mimetype support to include RAW printing which is done by editing &lt;code&gt;/etc/cups/mime.convs&lt;/code&gt; file and uncommenting this line:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;application/octet-stream application/vnd.cups-raw 0&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You will also need to edit &lt;code&gt;/etc/cups/mime.types&lt;/code&gt; and uncomment the line&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;application/octet-stream&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;After editing the files and restarting CUPS, you are able to print with native drivers as well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="42" LastEditorUserId="42" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-08-02T03:48:31.543" LastActivityDate="2010-08-02T03:48:31.543" CommentCount="2" />

This is because everything in the /home directory belongs to a user--documents, videos, and all other user-specific data goes here.

At small sizes, ClearType &quot;forces&quot; the font glyphs to fit smack inside the pixel grid, while minimizing subpixel rendering as much as possible to achieve razor-sharp text. FreeType and TrueType (on the Mac and iOS) make use of subpixel rendering more generously to preserve the curves and shapes of the original font glyphs as much as possible while still maintaining legibility. On displays with very high pixel density though, text simply look gorgeous. Why the difference in approach? Basically, it's both philosophical and historical.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Commercial fonts and most fonts that ship with Windows (and Mac) come with special instructions (called bytecode hints) to help the font renderer rasterize the fonts as they were intended by the type designer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Due to patents (specifically the TrueType bytecode interpreter,) the rasterizer in FreeType does not read those hinting instructions. It can read them, but it won't by default (compile flag TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER.) Instead, FreeType tries to &quot;guesstimate&quot; how the outlines should be rasterized by way of some neat algorithms. There's a FreeType module called Auto-Hinter that does this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ideally, all screens in the world should have the exact same pixel density so that the FreeType Auto-Hinter can be finely tuned to only one ppi value. Not so in reality. Luckily, there's a file called &lt;code&gt;fonts.conf&lt;/code&gt; which you can use to help guide FreeType to your preferred way of rendering fonts on your particular screen.

Each linux distribution decides for itself which package management system to use (or whether to use one at all) and, usually, has its own repositories.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ubuntu uses the dpkg/apt package management system from debian with Ubuntu's own repositories. How this works is basically: For each application that you can install through apt, there's a dpkg-package which is basically a zipped archive containing the application's files (with the executables compiled for Ubuntu) and some metadata, which (among other things) contain a description of the package and the package's dependencies so the package manager knows which other packages need to be installed before this one can be installed (e.g. a game might need opengl and SDL to be installed, a gnome-application would obviously need gnome to be installed etc.).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now a repository is a place where packages for a specific Ubuntu version are uploaded by Ubuntu's package maintainers. Apt then browses the available repositories, to find the package you want to install and its dependencies, download them and install them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is better than downloading everything yourself because a) you don't have to download everything yourself b) you don't have to hunt all through the web to find all the dependencies and c) you don't get situations like in Windows where each game installs its own version of DirectX.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="430" LastActivityDate="2010-08-05T12:08:31.417" />

To make sure that you uninstall all related packages AND configuration files, you can type &lt;code&gt;sudo apt-get purge &amp;lt;package-name&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; or -in Synaptic- &quot;mark for complete removal&quot; instead of just &quot;mark for removal&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for applications that have been manually compiled and installed, there's not always a single way to remove them.

Avoid.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;apt-get remove&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;aptitude remove&lt;/code&gt;: these are the standard command-line tools. Aptitude is slightly preferred: it's a bit more sophisticated. E.g., it can keep a log file of all package operations.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;synaptic&lt;/code&gt;: GUI tool accessible through the GUI menu under &quot;System/Administration&quot;. Supports all features, a very nice program generally.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;software center&lt;/code&gt;: even nicer GUI than &lt;code&gt;synaptic&lt;/code&gt;. This is a better, updated version of the old &quot;Add/Remove Programs&quot;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All these get the job done. You can start with the most user-friendly (Software Center) and continue to aptitude, if you need certain features or install or remove programs very frequently.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note that these operations remove the bulk of the program while sometimes leaving &quot;configuration files&quot; in locations such aus /etc/apache2. Most software doesn't have configuration files there; some server software (&quot;daemons&quot;) do. In all but a few cases, keeping these configuration files will do no harm. If you want to remove everything, including configuration files, then you can use the &quot;purge&quot; operation. For aptitude, the command line is &quot;aptitude purge.&quot; (Tommy's explication above of &quot;purge&quot; is not accurate. The &quot;remove&quot; operation, just like &quot;purge&quot;, deletes all dependencies that were pulled in with the original program.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the program tells you the package has been removed, you can be sure that the files are gone. Sometimes packages installed as a matter of dependency are not removed immediately. They will be eventually deleted, at a subsequent run.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As to software installed from other channels (typically compiled from source), you're mostly forced to remove the files installed manually. They are often located somewhere in &lt;code&gt;/usr/local&lt;/code&gt;. Some software provides shortcuts such as &quot;make uninstall&quot;. Don't count on it, though. More often than not, the cleanest solution is to use the version provided through Ubuntu's repositories, which can be uninstalled cleanly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="627" LastActivityDate="2010-08-05T14:51:34.767" CommentCount="1" />

Using vim you will be using Escape all the time, and having it available on the home row makes a huge difference. With the standard Ubuntu desktop, go through the menus: System -&gt; Preferences -&gt; Keyboard -&gt; Layouts tab. Then hit the &quot;Layout Options&quot; button, click on the triangle next to &quot;Caps Lock key behaviour&quot; and select &quot;Swap ESC and CapsLock&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 2:&lt;/strong&gt; use &lt;strong&gt;vimtutor&lt;/strong&gt; to get you started. It is in gvim (under&#xA;the help menu I think) or you can just type 'vimtutor' at the command&#xA;line. It will take 30-45 minutes of your time and then your fingers will&#xA;know the basics of vi/vim and you should be able to edit files without&#xA;wanting to hurl your keyboard out of the window. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 3:&lt;/strong&gt; use vim everywhere.

  <row Id="1240" PostTypeId="2" ParentId="1132" CreationDate="2010-08-05T19:31:22.163" Score="6" ViewCount="0" Body="&lt;p&gt;Networking in general with Linux is a wide field. It is one of those parts where the operating system is strong and offers lots possibilities. I would suggest different steps:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Getting an IP address&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;DHCP&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At first every computer in your network needs an IP address. Most home networks have some kind of (DSL) router which offers &lt;a href=&quot;https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;DHCP&lt;/a&gt;. That means you'll get automatically an IP from your router and don't have to worry about.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Avahi&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Avahi is another easy form to connect your computers in your home network. You need &lt;code&gt;avahi-daemon&lt;/code&gt; installed. Furthermore the package &lt;code&gt;libnss-mdns&lt;/code&gt; is needed. If the avahi daemon runs, you can connect to other computers in your network with &lt;code&gt;computername.local&lt;/code&gt;. They will assign an IP and use their hostname for connections (If you forget the hotnames, open a terminal and type &lt;code&gt;hostname&lt;/code&gt;.).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Fixed IP address&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the above is not the case the next easy solution (in my opinion) is to give every computer a fixed IP address. For me the easiest way is to edit &lt;code&gt;etc/network/interfaces&lt;/code&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;auto eth0&#xA;iface eth0 inet static&#xA;   address 192.168.0.42&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Those lines assign the IP 192.168.0.42 to the network interface eth0 on that computer. Other information like netmask, default router etc. can also be entered into that file.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;DHC-Server&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another possibility is to install an DHCP server. This is usually more complex. I will not cover this here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Getting a name&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Under normal circumstances only connecting via IP addresses is not nice. You have to remember all those numbers. So it gets easier with names. If you only have a few computers in your network, you can edit &lt;code&gt;/etc/hosts&lt;/code&gt; like:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;127.0.0.1  localhost&#xA;192.168.0.23 server&#xA;192.168.0.42 laptop&#xA;192.168.0.65 images&#xA;192.168.0.123 router&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The first entry is the IP address and the second is the name you want to use. Now you can use &lt;code&gt;images&lt;/code&gt; to connect to the computer with IP 192.168.0.65. This file has to be on every computer in your network.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you don't want to distribute that file across your computers, you can use a DNS server like BIND. But setting this up is too complex for my answer. ;)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now every computer has an IP address and a name. You can connect to them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Share files&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Nautilus allows you to share files. Just click right on a folder and choose it too be shared. Eventually Ubuntu will install some missing files. Choose a name and access rights for that share and you're done. If you use the &lt;code&gt;service-discovery-applet&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;ahavi-discover&lt;/code&gt; it is easy to access the files.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A speicla application is giver. Every computer needs to run this software. With drag&amp;amp;drop you can share files between computers. Besides this you can also use Pidgin, an FTP server or Samba to access files.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Chat&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here we need Avahi again. Install &lt;code&gt;python-avahi&lt;/code&gt; and choose Pidgin as chat software (also Gajim is able to chat via Bonjour). Make a new account and choose Bonjour as communication protocol. If you start Pidgin and other Bonjour-users are active in your network, you'll see them and can chat.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As said before there are several other possibilities to chat. I chose only this. Furthermore you can configure those services in specific ways. If you have questions it would be the best to ask them in more detail. Have fun with your network. :-)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="236" LastActivityDate="2010-08-05T19:31:22.163" CommunityOwnedDate="2010-08-10T22:47:57.383" />

You've got a lot of learning of commands to setup a successful Screen environment. Here's some stuff to get you started.

It starts a new screen session&#xA;&lt;code&gt;screen -ls&lt;/code&gt; - List all active screen sessions. Yes you can have multiple terminals inside multiple screens. SO SWEET.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sample&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;screen -ls&#xA;There is a screen on:&#xA;    16467.pts-0.ubuntu  (08/05/2010 07:47:53 PM)    (Detached)&#xA;1 Socket in /var/run/screen/S-marco.&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;screen -x &amp;lt;pid&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; - This will resume a Detached screen session, IE: &lt;code&gt;screen -x 16467&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once you're in a Screen (and you've employed my sample &lt;code&gt;.screenrc&lt;/code&gt; file) You'll see the following along the bottom:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;(LOAD) 0$* bash&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Which is the servers load and a list of all open &quot;terminal tabs&quot;. Currently only one window. Type something then Press this Key Combination: &lt;code&gt;Ctrl + A&lt;/code&gt; release, then press &lt;code&gt;c&lt;/code&gt;. &lt;code&gt;Ctrl + A&lt;/code&gt; is the escape sequence. All commands are started with this combination. &lt;code&gt;c&lt;/code&gt; is create new tab. You'll notice the footer has &lt;code&gt;(LOAD) 0-$ bash  1$* bash&lt;/code&gt; which shows that there is another tab open and the active tab is number 1. You can open a maximum of 60 tabs per screen session.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you want to exit screen but keep it running use &lt;code&gt;Ctrl + A&lt;/code&gt; then &lt;code&gt;d&lt;/code&gt; which will detach your session. Finally you can close tabs by using &lt;code&gt;Ctrl + A&lt;/code&gt; then &lt;code&gt;k&lt;/code&gt; which will kill that tab (if it locks up) but typically you can just type &lt;code&gt;exit&lt;/code&gt; as if you were in a terminal and it will close that tab.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Lastly to list all windows open you can type &lt;code&gt;Ctrl + A&lt;/code&gt; then &lt;code&gt;&quot;&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are a whole slew of options available for Screen you should pour over the man file for more. There are some drawbacks. You can't use your scroll bar in Screen you have to use buffer controls to roll back, however the above is enough to get you started to see if this is a viable option. A great thing about this and something I've dealt with a lot as a System Administrator - network connectivity. If your network drops out your operations won't be lost! Since screen is running on the server.

If you want to use the generated list, you can do:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;sudo dpkg --set-selection &amp;lt; installed.txt&#xA;sudo apt-get install --yes dselect&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Re-apply your customisations in &lt;code&gt;/etc&lt;/code&gt; (if still needed).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Upgrade your home partition to ext4 (optional, see the &lt;a href=&quot;https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ConvertFilesystemToExt4&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Ubuntu wiki&lt;/a&gt; for details).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Restore anything that turns out to be needed from &lt;code&gt;/var&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would recommend against wiping out the configuration files in your home directory; you'll lose things like your browser bookmarks and security keys, for example. A better strategy for getting back to default settings would be to create a new user account and compare their settings to the ones your normal account is using.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="115" LastActivityDate="2010-08-06T00:59:38.550" CommentCount="2" />

It might even be silly for me to answer it, given that I am on the server team, and Ubuntu definitely has a very large focus on making &quot;Linux for Humans&quot;, ergo, the desktop.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To me, the release cycle is everything. Yes there are some things that will never go back to Debian, because these things are somewhat counter to Debian's philosophies. But these are by-products of the greater goal of usability.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When Ubuntu was started, the idea was simple. Debian was awesome then, and is still awesome today. I ran it exclusively for several years and it served me well on laptops, desktops, and especially on servers, being a server kind of guy. But that release cycle was so slow that all of the &lt;em&gt;cool&lt;/em&gt; whiz bang stuff that people were producing on Linux was just not making it into the stable releases, and the unstable development release that had all of these things was un-installable (no official isos) and broken quite often.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So by saying &quot;we're going to limit our focus to a couple of architectures, and a subset of packages&quot; (the &quot;main&quot; archive in Ubuntu), the Ubuntu project was able to commit to releasing a tested, stabilized OS with all of that cool new stuff in it. They were also able to commit to carrying a bit of a delta from Debian that was highly focused on usability. By committing capital investment to it, Canonical was able to commit to having the technical staff available to make that happen.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One awesome part of that was that they (I say they, because I am not an Ubuntu member yet) could still keep a lot of the wide breadth of Debian software by creating the &quot;universe&quot; archive. Even better, a community (MOTU) grew up around that to make sure it received some stabilization before release as well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, to sum it all up with an analogy.. Ubuntu is to Debian, as your local restaurant is to the local farmer's market.

Ubuntu is very similar to Debian and uses the Debian package management system (.debs, apt-get etc.). However, there is a much bigger difference between Ubuntu and Fedora and Red Hat which use the Red Hat package management system (.rpms, yum etc.). ArchLinux uses the Pacman package manager. Other distributions, such as Gentoo, require everything to be built from source.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Distributions with a package management system often have a different set of packages available in their repositories.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The most visible differences are the default application selection and the default themes and settings.

This doesn't mean that the filesystem will eat all your RAM. Instead it takes only that amount it really needs. Usually only some MB are needed. If you'll use it, add a line like: &lt;code&gt;none /tmp tmpfs size=64M,mode=1777 0 0&lt;/code&gt; to your &lt;code&gt;/etc/fstab&lt;/code&gt;. You can change the &lt;code&gt;size&lt;/code&gt; to a value you like. If you think at some point that it is too less, you can use &lt;code&gt;mount&lt;/code&gt; to increase the size: &lt;code&gt;mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /tmp -o size=128M,mode=1777,remount&lt;/code&gt;. The size will be increased in place without deleting existing files.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ext2/3&lt;/strong&gt;: You said in your question that you don't need any fancy features. However I would advice for using a journal. Because if you use ext2 and you have a quite large &lt;code&gt;/tmp&lt;/code&gt; it would take some time for checking it. ext3 boots any many cases faster. Therefore I would suggest the use of journalling.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ext4&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;reiserfs&lt;/strong&gt; etc.: Some software uses &lt;code&gt;/tmp&lt;/code&gt; for storing large amounts of small files. So in some cases there are no more free blocks and the filesystem is full. ext4 and also reiserfs store files in a different way. So it could be a good choice to use those for your &lt;code&gt;/tmp&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If your computer runs for a long time, it is a good idea to delete unused files in &lt;code&gt;/tmp&lt;/code&gt;. &lt;code&gt;tmpreaper&lt;/code&gt; is one solution which does that for you.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However my first choice would be using &lt;code&gt;tmpfs&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="236" LastActivityDate="2010-08-08T08:30:49.350" />

Like the prior two commenters mentioned, several easy ways exist to restart X such as restarting gdm or kdm, or turning on ctrl-alt-backspace and using that key combo.  But next time &quot;X freezes&quot;, go ahead and try them, and I'll bet it has no effect.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The problem really is deeper down in the stack, at the kernel level.  Possibly if you closed X, unloaded and reloaded all the kernel graphics drivers, then restarted X it'd come up.  But in restarting X you lose all your apps.  So other than an interesting test, it's probably faster and safer to just do a full reboot.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You didn't mention which video driver you're using, but with for instance the Intel video driver, the GPU is handled by code in the Linux kernel itself.  Some developers have been experimenting with adding a &quot;GPU reset&quot; feature in the kernel that will automatically clear the GPU's memory and re-initialize it when it seems to no longer be responding to graphics commands.  This reset functionality is new and doesn't always work in all cases for various reasons, and isn't (yet) available for the nouveau or ati open source video drivers.  Hopefully it'll be coming soon.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you're using a proprietary driver like nvidia or fglrx, well all bets are off.

You just don't see anything on the screen.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In this case, it's a very different problem - the graphics card is able to send graphics to several different &quot;outputs&quot; (E.g. LVDS, DVI, VGA, TV-out) but only two &quot;pipes&quot; at one time.  Sometimes it chooses the wrong output to send data to.

So you will need to use the -ati driver instead.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The suggestion in the previous comment to purge fglrx when you have used both fglrx and ati is good advice in general.  If you're trying to use -ati and there's still some fglrx kernel driver or glx library laying around, it can cause confusion.  Generally that doesn't affect resolution but the problems are rather unpredictable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Assuming you're using the open source -ati driver now, one option you can try is to turn off kernel mode-setting.  This is because whereas X used to be responsible for selecting resolution, these days the kernel does it.  (This is called Kernel Mode-Setting, or KMS).  If it used to work (in the old days with UMS) but now isn't (with KMS), here's a guide to switch back to UMS for -ati:  &lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another common thing to check on these old graphics cards is the AGPMode setting.  Possible values are 1, 2, 4, 8.  It seems a bit unpredictable what number is required; 2 might work for one machine, and on a seemingly identical one you have to use a different value.  The -ati developers haven't figured out a good way to guess this reliably in all cases.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Beyond that, check your Xorg.0.log; midway through it goes through the resolutions and decides which ones fit the refresh rates of the monitor.  Sometimes if there are problems it'll become evident there.  For instance, if its trying to find a common resolution that works for both the LVDS and for VGA (even though no VGA is present), or if there is an error in the EDID or something.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally, in theory -ati &lt;em&gt;should&lt;/em&gt; run fine with no xorg.conf present.

This might even be the case in Debian, since a lot of Ubuntu's packages are synced from Debian. This is a matter of interest. If the current maintainer has no time or passion anymore, the package is put on a list of orphaned packages. This allows the community to look if someone else will step up.

This discourages experimentation (because if something goes wrong I might as well be bricked); it also hinders regression testing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last time I looked, successfully applying a patch, compiling and running X was difficult to do, stepped all over the package manager, required kernel modules to be patched as well, and was pretty much an irreversible step.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nowadays, X drivers split their code between kernel, Mesa, udev (for settings and defaults), and userland drivers. Which means patches get split as well...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So I guess the answer is to make applying and reverting changes something that is handled by the package manager and easy to recover from when it breaks your system.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, a system like DKMS should be looked at for X drivers; if I could easily patch/compile/test/uninstall, say, the input driver for my touchscreen without having to rebuild the whole monolithic contraption (with its threat of making X completely unusable), you'd get more casual contribution and motivate me to look at triaging bugs and testing patches relating to that bit of hardware.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="115" LastActivityDate="2010-08-10T04:05:41.413" CommentCount="3" />

The downside however, is a that your system takes a little longer to load, but in my opinion that's a small price to pay. My system still boots quite fast.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In the case of a low Plymouth resolution; there's a way to fix that as well: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.namanb.com/2010/05/changing-bootup-resolution-plymouth-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Changing Bootup Resolution (Plymouth)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="303" LastActivityDate="2010-08-10T18:23:28.130" />

One is installed by default on Ubuntu, and there are others available through Ubuntu's software channels.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sound Juicer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sound Juicer is Ubuntu's default CD-ripping application, and also has the ability to play your CDs and download track data from the Internet.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping?action=AttachFile&amp;amp;do=get&amp;amp;target=sound-juicer.png&quot; alt=&quot;alt text&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To rip a CD using Sound Juicer, simply insert an audio CD; Sound Juicer should start automatically. Alternatively, you can select Sound Juicer from &lt;code&gt;Applications -&amp;gt; Sound &amp;amp; Video -&amp;gt; Audio CD Extractor&lt;/code&gt;. By default, the CD will be encoded into the OggVorbis format, a Free Format. If you wish to rip a CD to a non-free format such as MP3 or AAC, you will need to install some additional software. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kubuntu Default CD Ripping Software&lt;/strong&gt; :&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are two methods of ripping an Audio CD in a default installation of Kubuntu. One is using Konqueror's audiocd:/ KIO-slave and the other is KaudioCreator (&lt;code&gt;KMenu-&amp;gt;Multimedia-&amp;gt;KaudioCreator&lt;/code&gt;). On inserting the Audio CD, you should be presented with the KDE Audio CD Daemon asking you what you wish to do. To use the KIO-slave method (which is relatively easier), select the 'Open in a new Window' option. Or, if you prefer using KAudioCreator, select the Extract and Encode Audio tracks option.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Using audiocd:/ to rip a CD&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In Konqueror's location bar, type audiocd:/ and press enter. You should now see the tracks in the CD along with folders named Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, MP3 etc. Click on the folder which corresponds to the format in which you wish to encode, eg. Ogg Vorbis.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, copy the tracks that you need from that folder and paste it in the desired location (&lt;code&gt;/home/kubuntu&lt;/code&gt; in the example). The tracks are automagically ripped, encoded and copied to the location you specified!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note: Copying speeds might not be as fast as those achieved when copying a file directly from the CD as the files are also being ripped and encoded. If you wish to modify some of the settings (like editing the tagging sytax or modifying the encoding settings), you can access it either through System Settings (&lt;code&gt;KMenu-&amp;gt;System Settings-&amp;gt;Sound&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;Multimedia-&amp;gt;Audio CD&lt;/code&gt;) or through KDE Control Center (&lt;code&gt;kcontrol&lt;/code&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Using &lt;strong&gt;KAudioCreator&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Launch KaudioCreator (&lt;code&gt;Kmenu-&amp;gt;Multimedia-&amp;gt;KaudioCreator&lt;/code&gt;). It should automatically display the tracks in the disc. You can modify the settings to suit your needs (&lt;code&gt;Settings-&amp;gt;Configure KaudioCreator&lt;/code&gt;), and also choose an encoder. Click on the Rip Selection icon to start the Ripping and encoding process. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Other CD Ripping Software :&#xA;In alphabetical order.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ABCDE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Those who want a no-nosense, fast, customizable ripping solution should try ABCDE.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And example conversion from CD to AAC/MP4:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;abcde -a cddb,read,encode,tag,move,playlist,clean -d /dev/cdrom -o m4a -V -x&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Asunder&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Asunder is an easy-to-use, plain CD ripper that converts into MP3, OGG, FLAC, WAV, and the new open codec WavPack.

I can really recommend the latter. This assumes that you don't mind storing your data in a company's data center or cloud. I'm not sure about sharing your music collection through the internet. My network connection is not fast enough to allow this, so I'd go with manual copying or using &lt;code&gt;rsync&lt;/code&gt; regularly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For configuration, there are two different cases: applications that use regular text files as configurations, and those that use a gconf, a database or something nonstandard. For the former, you can store the dotfiles (for instance &lt;code&gt;~/.vim/&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;~/.zshrc&lt;/code&gt;) in a subfolder of your Dropbox (or UbuntuOne) folder, and then symlink the files back to your $HOME directory. This works well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As to the applications you mention, it seems that none of them use simple text files as configuration. That means, in essence, that you can't effectively synchronize them. The reason is that, if there is a conflict, you won't be able to resolve it. Furthermore, some parts of the configuration directory, such as cache files, are bound to be system-specific or otherwise inappropriate for synchronization. In these cases, I say don't bother with synchronization, and just copy over the config directory once. There's an exception, however: applications that natively support sharing a configuration across multiple computers. Firefox &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/sync/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;can do this&lt;/a&gt;, and recent versions of Google Chrome can store at least some parts of the configuration in your Google profile (check your preferences).

One of the key advantages of Linux is that there are a plethora of different distributions, while an attack may be exploited across a number of different distributions rarely will it affect all. We can see this from the vulnerability reports that are reported, in that even if a widely used application or library is found to be vulnerable that exposure is usually limited because of configuration options to only a few distributions.

Of course, the server administrator will set a limit for uploads to prevent users from putting illegal files like pirated music/films/games.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;(2)  FTP with both anonymous access and users with a passworded account:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This method lets both anonymous and passworded account users to enter the server. They will only have access to a specified directory, except for the user root who can view/modify/delete all files and/or folders.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;(3) FTP with mysql support for virtual users authentication :&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This method allows access to the server only for some user groups that haven't got a virtual users authentication shell account on the system. It uses an external mysql server that stores user information.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First Option : Anonymous FTP&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Before starting the creation of an anonymous ftp server, you have to add a user called ftp into your system, with a home directory too. This step is really easy, just follow these commands:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;useradd -d /home/ftp/ftp -s /bin/false ftp&#xA;&#xA;mkdir -p /home/ftp/upload&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Doing this permits only this account to write in this folder. You can use more variables to specify what the ftp server will do. Here are some examples:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;-e Allow access to the server only by anonymous users&#xA;-B Start the server with background demon&#xA;-i Anonymous users can't upload files&#xA;-M Let anonymous users create folders&#xA;-s ftp user files cannot be downloaded&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Second Option : '''Both anonymous and passworded account users'''&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To make it possible to have both anonymous and passworded account users in the same server, follow this small guide :&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;-B ,-i ,M, -r, -s same of before&#xA;-u &amp;lt;uid&amp;gt; Enable users with a specified user id (uid) to access the server &#xA;-V &amp;lt;Ip address&amp;gt; Only specified IPs will be able to access the server in non-anonymous mode &#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Third Option : '''Virtual Users with Mysql'''&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To create a server with mysql support follow this steps :&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Download and install User Manager for PureFTPd which you can find here &#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;http://machiel.generaal.net/index.php?subject=user_manager_pureftpd&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://machiel.generaal.net/index.php?subject=user_manager_pureftpd&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Decompress it and upload all its contents into your web server www directory and then write on your browser this link link &lt;a href=&quot;http://localhost/ftp/install.php&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://localhost/ftp/install.php&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;Follow all the steps that the installer asks to you&#xA;Copy and save rge pureftpd-mysql.conf into pureftpd user manager directory&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Done.

The Debian and Ubuntu teams spend a lot of time customizing and verifying upstream packages before they put them into the repository.  Making a package is a big hairy mess of dependencies and distribution specific install scripts. There's just no simple way to automate the process.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However if you're a programmer or you are trying to contribute to an upstream project, you'll need to install official tarballs eventually.  Although not automatic, there are a few tools that help make the process easier.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you just want to patch some bug in a program you've installed, you can get the source code with &lt;code&gt;apt-get source&lt;/code&gt; &lt;em&gt;packagename&lt;/em&gt; and hack away.  If you want to send that patch upstream though it's better if you start with an upstream tarball.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Most projects out there are using autotools which automates a fair amount of compile-time decisions.  You can usually tell if a project uses autotools because there is a configure script in the folder.  If there is you can build and install the package using one line &lt;code&gt;./configure &amp;amp;&amp;amp; make &amp;amp;&amp;amp; make install&lt;/code&gt;.  Unless you've built the package before though, it will probably fail because you are missing some compile-time dependencies.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the package you are trying to install is already in the Ubuntu repositories you can get APT to automatically install all the libraries you need to compile the tarball with &lt;code&gt;apt-get build-dep&lt;/code&gt; &lt;em&gt;packagename&lt;/em&gt;.  If there are no new dependencies this is usually all you need to do before you can compile the program.  If it's not in the Ubuntu repositories you are on your own, check the documentation of the project to find out what it needs.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One problem with the &lt;code&gt;./configure &amp;amp;&amp;amp; make &amp;amp;&amp;amp; make install&lt;/code&gt; procedure is that there's not usually a &lt;code&gt;make uninstall&lt;/code&gt;.  There's a program called checkinstall that will run make install for you and register the package in APT so that you can uninstall it later.  checkinstall doesn't always work though, and depending on how important the package you are installing is to the system, it could be very dangerous.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="527" LastActivityDate="2010-08-12T08:58:30.837" />

After you found the software to remove right-click on the package and select &lt;strong&gt;Mark for Removal&lt;/strong&gt;. Then apply the changes.

You still want to run these services when not running ubuntu inside colinux. I did this by first creating a /etc/inid.d/colinux script according to &lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.colinux.org/cgi-bin/DualBootSystem&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://wiki.colinux.org/cgi-bin/DualBootSystem&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;This script should of course be created in the &lt;code&gt;/etc/init.d&lt;/code&gt; directory on the ubuntu partition and not on the &quot;debian with backports&quot; image.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;When this script has been created you also need to edit the default.colinux.xml file so it contains a COLINUX=1 boot-parameter, in my case:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;bootparams&amp;gt;root=/dev/hda8 COLINUX=1&amp;lt;/bootparams&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;This script now makes it possible to turn of some autostarted services when starting inside coLinux but still run these services when dualbooting the computer with ubuntu.&#xA;You also has to make sure to run this script at boot time by inserting links in the &lt;code&gt;/etc/rcS.d&lt;/code&gt; directory.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The next step is to turn of services by inserting if-statements inside the service scripts in /etc/init.d (on the ubuntu partition).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;if [ -f /var/local/colinux ] ; then&#xA;exit 0&#xA;fi&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;I had to turn off the following services when booting inside coLinux to make it boot, coLinux crashed during boot when any of these services were running:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;/etc/init.d/gdm &#xA;/etc/init.d/powernowd &#xA;/etc/init.d/hotkey-setup &#xA;/etc/init.d/pcmcia &#xA;/etc/init.d/vbesave&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Create colinux customized versons of some other files, the colinux script in init.d mentioned above makes it possible to have a colinux-version and a non-colinux version of some different files.&#xA;In my case i have special versions of the following files:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;code&gt;/etc/fstab&lt;/code&gt; (coLinux mounts the ntfs partitions using smbfs instead of ntfs read-only mounting)&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;code&gt;/etc/network/interfaces&lt;/code&gt; (I didn't get colinux to work using DHCP so it has hardcoded IP numbers instead)&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;code&gt;/etc/gdm/gdm.conf&lt;/code&gt; (I am not really sure this is used since gdm can't be started at boot, but I have a special version for coLinux with all [servers] disabled. It may be used when using vnc but I am not sure if it is needed)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;It is important to remember to edit correct file when setting up these files this way because the normal files will be overwritten with *-colinux or *-non-colinux versions at each boot. It might be possible to setup symbolic links instead of overwriting the files but I have not tested this.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally you will have to setup coLinux so it boots using the Ubuntu partition instead of the &quot;debian with backports&quot; image, this is done by setting a boot partition in the default.colinux.xml file, in my case it pointed to &lt;code&gt;/dev/hda8&lt;/code&gt; &lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;bootparams&amp;gt;root=/dev/hda8 COLINUX=1&amp;lt; /bootparams&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;It should now be possible to either start Ubuntu by selecting it in the dualboot(grub) menu when booting the computer or by starting XP and startup coLinux. Observe that when running inside coLinux the ubuntu kernel is actually not used instead the coLinux kernel is used. This is imporant to think about for example if you need to recompiling kernels and kernel modules.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally, don't do the same misstake as I did. As described in this thread, I put XP/coLinux into sleep in hibernate mode and then dualbooted into Ubuntu.

(Of course, reads can cause the disk to spin up; you'll want to get into the habit of running &lt;code&gt;cat /files/I/m/likely/to/need &amp;gt;/dev/null&lt;/code&gt; before the disk spins down.) In order for noflushd to be effective, turn off all swap and mount your filesystems with something like &lt;code&gt;commit=3600&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Using noflushd effectively means that your data can remain unwritten to disk for an extended length of time. This is a risk, to be weighed against the benefit of not having any noise or heat coming from the disk for a while.

Apparently the Kernel Mode Setting feature is particularly deficient. Without the option spelled correctly, it defaulted to KMS enabled, and also crashed.

For example, the parameter kernel.threads-max = 16379 sets the maximum number of concurrent processes to 16,379. This is smaller than the maximum number of unique PIDs (65,536). Lowering the number of PIDs can improve performance on systems with slow CPUs or little RAM since it reduces the number of simultaneous tasks. On high-performance computers with dual processors, this value can be large. As an example, my 350 MHz iMac is set to 2,048, my dual-processor 200 MHz PC is set to 1024, and my 2.8 GHz dual processor PC is set to 16,379.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tip&lt;/strong&gt;: The kernel configures the default number of threads based on the available resources. Installing the same Ubuntu version on different hardware may set a different value. If you need an identical system (for testing, critical deployment, or sensitive compatibility), be sure to explicitly set this value.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are two ways to adjust the kernel parameters. First, you can do it on the command line. For example, sudo sysctl -w kernel.threads-max=16000. This change takes effect immediately but is not permanent; if you reboot, this change will be lost. The other way to make a kernel change is to add the parameter to the /etc/sysctl.conf file. Adding the line kernel.threads-max=16000 will make the change take effect on the next reboot. Usually when tuning, you first use sysctl –w. If you like the change, then you can add it to /etc/sysctl.conf. Using sysctl –w first allows you to test modifications. In the event that everything breaks, you can always reboot to recover before committing the changes to /etc/sysctl.conf.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;***I learned that from this &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,2114123,00.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;extreme tech&lt;/a&gt; article. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="333" LastActivityDate="2010-08-13T17:12:37.977" CommunityOwnedDate="2010-08-13T17:12:37.977" CommentCount="4" />

The point of ureadahead is to preload all the data your boot will require ahead of time.  The reason to do this is that the primary reason for disc slowness is seek times - even slow hard drives should be able to push out &gt;50 MB/sec reads, but if you need to seek around - at tens of &lt;i&gt;milliseconds&lt;/i&gt; per seek - that decreases dramatically.  By running ahead of time, ureadahead should be able to minimise the seeks and hence minimise the time needed to read all the data your boot will need.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, the &lt;i&gt;ideal&lt;/i&gt; bootchart looks like ureadahead at 100% I/O utilisation, followed by everything else starting up and using no (disc) I/O.  This boot isn't practically achievable, not least because many of the services we're starting up write to the disc, but that's the idea.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Looking at your bootchart it seems that ureadahead is having a hard time actually pulling data off your disc - there's lots of time where it's at a very low throughput.  Even so, it looks like it's doing some of its job - after ureadahead starts your boot is mostly CPU bound, rather than I/O bound, and it looks like the large patches of I/O-bound boot are associated with &lt;code&gt;preload&lt;/code&gt; firing up.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You might want to try removing &lt;code&gt;preload&lt;/code&gt;, or to reprofile your boot¹, or it might be that some of your files are very fragmented, or it might be a bug in ureadahead.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;1: Removing the &lt;code&gt;pack&lt;/code&gt; files from /var/lib/ureadahead will cause ureadahead to reprofile on your next boot.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="188" LastActivityDate="2010-08-16T01:36:21.283" />

Dependency issues are easily resolved by creating dummy packages and installing the correct packages yourself. Further, a great deal of the packages are Debian packages recompiled unmodified on Ubuntu -- all packages with version numbers that don't end in &lt;code&gt;-0ubuntu1&lt;/code&gt; or more generally &lt;code&gt;X-ubuntuY&lt;/code&gt;. IIRC, greater than 75% of packages in Ubuntu are unmodified. Clearly dependencies aren't such a huge issue.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Binary compatibility&lt;/em&gt; is something you should be more afraid of. Ubuntu is &lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarkShuttleworth#What%20about%20binary%20compatibility%20between%20distributions?&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;not always binary compatible&lt;/a&gt; with Debian. It maybe at times, it may not at other times. Packages on Launchpad PPAs are complied in a clean root &lt;em&gt;Ubuntu&lt;/em&gt; environment not &lt;em&gt;Debian&lt;/em&gt;. Should it be that at the given time the two are not binary compatible, the package will break on your computer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, here's the best way to do this (although not the quickest). Install &lt;code&gt;pbuilder&lt;/code&gt;. Add the PPA's source repository to your software sources. Download the source package using &lt;code&gt;apt-get source foobar&lt;/code&gt; and then run &lt;code&gt;sudo pbuilder build foobar-1.2.3-0ubuntu4ppa5.dsc&lt;/code&gt;. (Please save yourself some time and use tab auto-completion, don't try to remember which version was downloaded). This will build the package from source and give you a binary compatible (since you compiled it on your own machine) &lt;code&gt;.deb&lt;/code&gt; that you can install available in &lt;code&gt;/var/cache/pbuilder/result/&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="203" LastActivityDate="2010-08-16T06:03:08.957" />

In fact it's pretty straightforward.  In a nutshell, the boot process may be broken because of one (or both) of these reasons:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Grub isn't installed to the boot sector of your drive (&quot;Master Boot Record&quot; or MBR) or has been corrupted (this may be caused by a number of things, including eminently installing Windows).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;N.B.: Grub can be installed to the MBR of your boot disk or to the &quot;volume boot record&quot; of a partition.  In most cases, you'll want it to be installed in the MBR.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Your grub configuration (&lt;code&gt;grub.cfg&lt;/code&gt;) is wrong or has been corrupted. On Ubuntu this file is generated for you (see below), so you don't need to touch it yourself, but you can manually re-create it by using &lt;code&gt;update-grub&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I recommend following &lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover%20Grub%202%20via%20LiveCD&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;these instructions&lt;/a&gt; in the section &quot;Recover Grub2 via Live CD&quot;. The procedure described there takes care of both sources of problems. These are the tasks you'll perform:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Start from a working Linux system, preferably a recent Ubuntu installation disc which is at the same time a Live CD. You do &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; need to use the Live CD of the variant or version of Ubuntu you're using. An older version is fine. The Live CD is only used to get access to your hard drive.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Find out the name of the partition that holds your boot directory, e.g. `/dev/sda1. In almost all cases, that's just the Linux partition where you've installed Ubuntu.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mount that partition to &lt;code&gt;/mnt&lt;/code&gt; and chroot into the mount point. Note that this means that you get a shell that looks and behaves as if you had booted the system normally. You can do many things you can do on your regular system, like installing packages and editing configuration.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You might be fine without chrooting, using the &lt;code&gt;update-grub&lt;/code&gt; provided by the Live CD along with the switch &lt;code&gt;--root-directory&lt;/code&gt;. But knowing how to chroot into a system partition is a useful skill, and the procedure is more robust.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Check &lt;code&gt;/etc/default/grub&lt;/code&gt; to see if something's wrong there (normally this should be fine).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Regenerate &lt;code&gt;grub.cfg&lt;/code&gt; by running &lt;code&gt;update-grub&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Install grub to the hard disk by running &lt;code&gt;grub-install&lt;/code&gt;. This is the crucial step.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then you can reboot and the system should start again. For the details, see the &lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover%20Grub%202%20via%20LiveCD&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;. Finally, note that the step preceded by &quot;If you have /boot on a separate partition&quot; is not needed in normal circumstances, though the three commands doing the &quot;bind&quot;-mounts which follow are required. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="627" LastEditorUserId="627" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-08-18T10:06:17.357" LastActivityDate="2010-08-18T10:06:17.357" CommunityOwnedDate="2010-08-18T10:06:17.357" />

It's violent, it's brutal, it's plain rude. And it doesn't matter how old you are. It's one thing when you are just computer addicted and it's very different when you are tracking time and get kicked out 5 seconds before you managed to click that submit button or save your document.

Start by tracking the amount of time that each kid spends using the computer and make the gathered data available for all of them so they can see it.

The public stats about bandwidth usage for each computer (just the amount of bytes, not deanonymizing info like lists of visited sites etc) turned the situation from &quot;me - the evil greedy admin against them - the poor abused office users&quot; to &quot;man, you downloaded 5 times more than me, that's bad!&quot; &quot;sorry, I downloaded indeed, I watched a lot of youtube during lunch breaks, won't do it anymore at this rate&quot; - I was simply excluded from the confrontation scenario.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1591" LastActivityDate="2010-08-21T11:41:40.037" />

Because you've asked about patches to Lucid I'm going to assume that's what you are trying to tweak.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My suggestion is to not waste your time. The Ubuntu Kernel team applies all the patches that are released by the upstream stable release team to Lucid (and other releases as well). You might be able to get a little more performance from the kernel by hand tweaking configuration parameters but you'd have to spend a lot more time trying to measure the improvement if there really is one. You'd be much better off staying on a stock kernel and picking up the patched kernels from Ubuntu. These patches can contain performance improvements as bugs are found and fixed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The reason you may be seeing CPU spikes may be due to some kernel bugs that have been recently been fixed upstream and the patches are working their way into Lucid right now.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once you start building your own kernel, you are now assuming the responsibility for keeping it patched and rebuilt. That's what Canonical pays people to do so you don't have to.

This is generally true if it is important for you to support more than one version at a time, while developing on an unstable/development branch. (Think developing two versions in parallel)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For example, GNOME has versions &lt;code&gt;x.y.z&lt;/code&gt; with odd &lt;code&gt;y&lt;/code&gt; implying a development series and even &lt;code&gt;y&lt;/code&gt; implying a stable series. GNOME releases &lt;code&gt;2.30&lt;/code&gt; as stable for the world to use. After the release, developers start working on &lt;code&gt;2.31.x&lt;/code&gt; which is unstable. If they find any important bug that they'd like fixed for users running &lt;code&gt;2.30&lt;/code&gt; without providing a huge number of unpolished new features, they fix just that bug in &lt;code&gt;2.30&lt;/code&gt; and release &lt;code&gt;2.30.1&lt;/code&gt;. If you're familiar with &lt;code&gt;bzr&lt;/code&gt; you should be able to understand this in terms of &lt;code&gt;2.31&lt;/code&gt; being developed on trunk, while &lt;code&gt;2.30&lt;/code&gt; is a branch of trunk (branched when &lt;code&gt;2.29&lt;/code&gt; became stable and was released as &lt;code&gt;2.30&lt;/code&gt;) where only bug-fixes are made.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In this case, you should make one series for each &lt;code&gt;2.29&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;2.30&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;2.31&lt;/code&gt;, etc and one &lt;code&gt;trunk&lt;/code&gt; series. &lt;code&gt;2.29&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;2.30&lt;/code&gt; will share the same &lt;code&gt;bzr&lt;/code&gt; branch (since &lt;code&gt;2.30&lt;/code&gt; is &lt;code&gt;2.29&lt;/code&gt; after it is polished). &lt;code&gt;2.31&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;trunk&lt;/code&gt; will share the same &lt;code&gt;bzr&lt;/code&gt; branch. When you release &lt;code&gt;2.32&lt;/code&gt;, then branch trunk and call this branch &lt;code&gt;2.32&lt;/code&gt; (that will be the &lt;code&gt;bzr&lt;/code&gt; branch for both &lt;code&gt;2.31&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;2.32&lt;/code&gt; series).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;An example of a milestone in this case is &lt;code&gt;2.30.2&lt;/code&gt; (in the &lt;code&gt;2.30&lt;/code&gt; series). A milestone differs from a release in that a milestone is a future release and once that version is released, the milestone becomes a release. This is why is makes sense to target a bug for a milestone (future) and you can make a bug affect only (say) two out of five series because it affects only two of them and should be fixed on their respective branches (probably the current stable release and trunk)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your project's development is &lt;em&gt;linear&lt;/em&gt;. This means that you will release version &lt;code&gt;1.1&lt;/code&gt; for everyone to use, keep developing features and fixing bugs until you are ready for &lt;code&gt;1.2&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;2.0&lt;/code&gt; (or whatever you like). Then you release the latest available code. In this case, you aren't developing different versions in parallel, as illustrated by the series diagram on Launchpad).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In this case, you have only one series, one bazaar branch (both called &lt;code&gt;trunk&lt;/code&gt; presumably) and all your milestones and releases are in this one series (whether &lt;code&gt;0.1&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;1.0&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;1.1&lt;/code&gt; or&lt;code&gt;2.0&lt;/code&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The later is simpler. The former more apt when you need to provide bug-fixes while you work on big changes for a later version (more necessary when it isn't a solo project).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;HTH&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="203" LastActivityDate="2010-08-22T14:05:52.820" />

It is probably a good idea to preserve symlinks. 'follow links' means that the action you are doing (such as copy) is done to the linked to files and all the files within the linked to directories. I think that if you follow links when copying, the actual files/folders will be copied to the new location. If you don't follow links, only the link is copied to the new address.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This wikipedia page has a detailed explanation of symlinks:&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="667" LastActivityDate="2010-08-22T15:03:19.430" CommentCount="3" />

IMHO, being a MOTU is a responsibility, not a privilege. It is not about the title, but about the ability to help the Ubuntu community by the access rights that come with it. Due to this, it could be that the whole approval process could be modified (or extended). MOTUs usually nominate themselves, and then the board looks if they are ready to be MOTUs. Maybe it should be possible, that peers that believe that someone is ready to be a MOTU be able to nominate that person. This would IMHO represent more the fact, that the nomination is done to help the process, not to obtain a title. I understand that making this the sole way has its problems too, therefore, I rather see it as an alternative then the only way.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I also know there have been some problems in the past with people focusing more on KDE.

Also if you can start a regular activity for the community to do and offer help to those that try it you will get some interest.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you need help with the activity you can email me and ill help with organizing it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So my answer is making a wiki page with questions and commands for getting good bug triage info to get people involved in that. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For development its a big problem. Xorg and Kernel stuff require low level programming skills for most bug fixing and implementing features. So you have to target a specific group of programmers and get them interested. I dont have any suggestions here except ask around a bit and see who hangs out in #ubuntu-x and ask them if they can help. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="153" LastActivityDate="2010-08-22T22:22:58.170" />

Everything is configured to auto-start, no automatic updates, no power saving etc - I think we're pretty-much good to go apart from one thing. &lt;b&gt;I need the retail staff to be able to restart the boxes if a problem arises.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We have VNC running (now that we've turned off desktop enhancements!) so that we can remotely get into the machines if we need to, but that's not something we would allow the retail staff to do. &lt;i&gt;The machines are going to be physically 'out of the way' (probably in the ceiling space) so &lt;b&gt;the power button is not easily accessible!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'd like to have some means of allowing the retail staff to restart the Ubuntu machine, from the desktop of one of their Windows terminals. I don't really want to give them some kind of raw terminal access (the command line will frighten them!) and I don't want them to use VNC (as stated above). Ideally there would be an icon on the Windows desktop, they double-click it, reply to a simple 'are you sure?' prompt, and then the Ubuntu box is told to restart. The Windows side of that won't be a problem, we can write something using Delphi, Python &amp;amp; Qt4, whatever - it's the Ubuntu side of it I'm stuck with.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Out of sight/view, could I have a Windows program open a terminal across the network and tell Ubuntu to restart? Is this what SSH could be used for (I have never set that kind of thing up). The Windows programming side isn't really an issue, it's just that I'm a total Ubuntu noob and don't know where to start from the platform point of view.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The other thing we considered is also having the machine automatically restart itself at a set time each day (obviously out of store hours!). To me, that seems a bit unnecessary (though forcing a restart once a week/month might be worthwhile).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Any thoughts or suggestions? Being able to restart the box on demand across the network is my prime requirement.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="424" LastActivityDate="2010-08-23T12:47:15.997" Title="Best way to remote restart Ubuntu from Windows machine" Tags="&lt;remote-access&gt;" AnswerCount="3" />

Is this what SSH could be used for[?]&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yes. That's effectively how I'd do it. First step is you'll want to install Putty on the Windows computers. This allows you to SSH in. But don't worry about that for now. Let's do this backwards, starting from the Ubuntu machine.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would write a script on the Ubuntu machine to do the restarting. If you can ssh in, chances are you don't need to do a full reboot. You could argue that you &quot;might as well&quot; but it often means the reboot takes four or five times longer than it needed to be; it's just a waste of time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You should be able to get away with just restarting GDM (&lt;code&gt;sudo restart gdm&lt;/code&gt;) so I'd write an interactive Python script that prompts the user to make sure &lt;em&gt;they're&lt;/em&gt; sure they want to restart GDM and then restart it. After that, it would wait for five seconds, and then ask them if it's working. If not, do a full reboot (&lt;code&gt;sudo reboot&lt;/code&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Edit:&lt;/strong&gt; There's also a possibility you might just be able to restart the application that these screens are displaying without even restarting GDM. I don't know what you expect to fall over but assume all three and give the user the option to restart each sequentially, starting with the app, then gdm, then the machine.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can use curses to make this look prettier.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Next up you need to make sure your ubuntu user can do these root-level commands. Run &lt;code&gt;sudoedit /etc/sudoers&lt;/code&gt; and add something like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;Cmnd_Alias REBOOT = /sbin/reboot&#xA;Cmnd_Alias RESTART = /sbin/restart&#xA;&#xA;useraccount   ALL=REBOOT&#xA;useraccount   ALL=RESTART&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Subbing &lt;code&gt;useraccount&lt;/code&gt; for the username of the account that would be running this script.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You should be able to log in via SSH and test the script now.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The last piece of the puzzle is hooking up SSH to Ubuntu and running the script automatically. You can use a certificate (it's probably more secure) but for this example I'll just use a plaintext password.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;putty.exe useraccount@1.2.3.4 -pw password -m commands.txt&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Obviously sub out &lt;code&gt;useraccount&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;1.2.3.4&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;password&lt;/code&gt; with real values. &lt;code&gt;commands.txt&lt;/code&gt; should be a text file on the Windows computer containing something like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;python my_python_script.py&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt; The path when you login with be &lt;code&gt;/home/useraccount/&lt;/code&gt; so either put your python script in there or alter the path in &lt;code&gt;commands.txt&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important Note:&lt;/strong&gt; Putty will close as soon as its command finishes running. That means your Python script MUST be interactive (at least ask &quot;Press Any Key to Continue&quot; before exiting) or the user won't see any output. This is simple enough. You mentioned Python, so I assume you know (or know how to find out) how to do simple prompts. As I said earlier, a simple curses interface would look the most professional.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important Note 2:&lt;/strong&gt; Sometimes a machine/software fails to the point where a hard restart is the only option. If you're the computers in a space that is really hard to get to, it's certainly worth considering making sure you have access to their power supply so you can do a &quot;hard off-and-on&quot; as a last resort. Make sure you use a journalling filesystem so the staff don't screw it up if they use this too often and warn the staff that if they don't use it as a last resort, evil circus people will steal their children, etc. There are few things worse than a staffer who smacks the hard-reset button at the smallest hiccough.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="449" LastEditorUserId="449" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-08-23T12:47:15.997" LastActivityDate="2010-08-23T12:47:15.997" CommentCount="2" />

I thought I performed this installation correctly, but when I came to grub2 and chose the option I wanted, I got some errors.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First, I got the following message before the log in screen appeared:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;The disk drive for /home is not ready yet or not present.&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;Continue to wait; or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery.&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I rebooted and logged into the freshly installed 9.10 boot and this worked fine.  I found the partition that 10.04 is on and created a user directory in &lt;code&gt;/home&lt;/code&gt; that is a copy of the 9.10 &lt;code&gt;/home&lt;/code&gt;.  I named the user directory the same as it was previously, so there was no difference.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I then changed ownership and group of this newly created directory and then rebooted.  I got the same error:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;The disk drive for /home is not ready yet or not present.&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;Continue to wait; or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery.&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;but this time when I press S to skip, I was able to log in and see my desktop.  The actions I did seemed to allow for log in but still the mounting of &lt;code&gt;/home&lt;/code&gt; is not working as it should.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One thing I should mention.  When installing 9.10 64-bit, I had some extra hard disk space available and I chose to format this to ext4 and then mount it to &lt;code&gt;/home&lt;/code&gt;.  This may be causing problems, but I thought when doing this it would mount to the &lt;code&gt;/home&lt;/code&gt; for the new installation.  It seemed to try to mount it on the old installation, though (the 10.04 one).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I hope this wasn't too confusing.  Any help is much appreciated.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thanks in advance.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EDIT - For the 9.10 installation&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;code&gt;/etc/fstab&lt;/code&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# /etc/fstab: static file system information.&#xA;#&#xA;# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier&#xA;# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name&#xA;# devices that works even if disks are added and removed.

You can set your TERM there and putty instructs SSH to set that environment variable.

You can also read the previous diff.gz to have an idea of what files it was modifying.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Generally, most of the uupdate conflicts I've met were due to bad packaging in the previous version of the package, namely a diff.gz which modified the source instead of just adding a debian/ directory. This can be checked easily:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;zcat ../yourpackagename_0.7.0-1.diff.gz | diffstat&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;will give you the list of files modified by the previous patch (adapt the file name to your needs). If you find files that are not in the debian/ directory in this list, then your problem is most certainly there.

I couldn't&#xA;  unload nouveau in any way (I believe&#xA;  because it's built-in and not shipped&#xA;  as module) and with nouveau loaded&#xA;  nvidia's installer would fail.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;So what I had to do first, was to&#xA;  disable the nouveau driver.

Basically, the kernel is waiting for an interrupt to give the next process a short slice of time to run, but the timer interrupt signal never fires.

Like what type of wireless adapter are you using and what Ubunutu version are you using.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;------ &lt;strong&gt;TRY 1: Failed&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One generic tip is to System-&gt;Administration-&gt;Hardware Drivers. Maybe you need to download some driver. If your wireless card is listed in the window that opens, please click the button to install it's drivers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But with so little info this is just a blind shot.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;------ &lt;strong&gt;TRY 2: Failed&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thank you for all the info. Belkin is famous for using different chipsets in the same product, F5D7050 uses at least 3 different chipsets. Anyway, the window's driver filenames are gold. Your card is likely a rt2500.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The most common problem with this card is that multiples modules (kinda of windows drivers) try to use it, conflicting. You will need to do some file-editing-foo to solve it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Press ALT+F2 or open a console. Type or copy/paste:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf &#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now at the end of the file append this two lines:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;blacklist rt2500usb&#xA;blacklist rt2800usb&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And reboot, if you are lucky it should be working after the reboot. If not, there are probably other kind of conflict, edit the file again, remove the lines, reboot, open a console and type:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;dmesg | grep rt&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Seems like no rt* modules is beign loaded. So it's my mistake. But if the wifi works (at times) it must be loading some drivers and windows drivers make it look like a rt2500... &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;----------- TRY 3: Never Tested&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another shot. There are some reports of disconnections with people using rt* chipsets with the current kernel. You can try to update your kernel.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You need to add &lt;a href=&quot;https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/ppa&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this PPA&lt;/a&gt; to your software sources. In the PPA page you can found detailed instructions about how to add them, but in short, you must open System-&gt;Administration-&gt;Sotware Sources, click on the &quot;Other Software&quot; tab, click add and write there &lt;em&gt;ppa:kernel-ppa/ppa&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Afterwards you need to install the updated kernel. The easiest way is to open the Ubuntu Software Center, under get software select the new PPA and in the right panel choose to install the &lt;em&gt;Complete Generic Linux Kernel&lt;/em&gt;, if you see two choose the one without pae in its name.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Reboot and let's hope that the linux gods will smile on us this time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you have any problem with the new kernel, you press ESC while booting for a menu that will let you boot from the old one.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;----------- RESOLUTION: OP just build another adapter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Usually the easiest solution.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="211" LastEditorUserId="211" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-09-01T07:10:10.397" LastActivityDate="2010-09-01T07:10:10.397" CommentCount="24" />

Since it's been a few years then you're probably better off with sticking with the default unless you have a problem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are two ways to fix wireless problems in Linux. Fixing the driver or working around it. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As Dan Williams (who is one of the main developer's for network-manager) has &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.gnome.org/dcbw/category/drivers/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;chronicled in his blog&lt;/a&gt;, sometimes it takes a long time; there are many moving parts, the kernel, the applet, and talking to the manufacturer of the hardware (if they even care) and then getting all that shipped to users. This takes longer than working around the issue, but in the end is a more sustainable model and gets everyone better drivers in the end. Network Manager and WICD don't exactly have the same feature set yet. WICD tends to deal well with wireless and basic ethernet connectivity, but doesn't yet support VPNs, DSL, 3G/CDMA and many other features which are becoming more and more popular. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This isn't meant as a slight towards the WICD folks, it does help people get online and that's great, but fixing it all the way down the stack is a better overall for Linux. Bottom line is, you can choose whichever application you happen to prefer, but if NetworkManager works for you, sticking to the default is probably what will get you the best results in the long run, since you will be able to benefit from the other features if you end up needing them. Network Manager, as the default network tool in Ubuntu is also supported by the Ubuntu team.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The linux wireless project &lt;a href=&quot;http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;maintains a page&lt;/a&gt; of wireless cards and chipsets and what features they support, and is a good guide to supporting manufacturers that maintain good drivers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="235" LastEditorUserId="235" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-08-25T21:49:52.967" LastActivityDate="2010-08-25T21:49:52.967" CommunityOwnedDate="2010-08-25T21:49:52.967" CommentCount="5" />

No VM is used.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I used your script (extended by a line that also logs /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq ) to observe that the system time does not DRIFT (in relation to the CPU's clock maybe) but really STOPS approx. 8 minutes after I &quot;left the desk&quot;. It continues to run at normal speed after I &quot;returned&quot; and keeps a fix offset then. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For me, a high load (transcoding a video over night) did not keep the clock alive, I got an offset of 10 hours this way!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Independent from the OS (it must be some BIOS setting), my screen goes blank after 15 minutes of input inactivity, but it goes instant on when I touch the mouse, and the applications are absolutely responsive (so no suspend to anywhere / hibernate).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The gnome panel just reflects the system time, so the problem is in a deeper layer.

The beautiful thing is that each snapshot has &lt;em&gt;every&lt;/em&gt; file in your home folder as it was at that time and &lt;em&gt;yet&lt;/em&gt; the HDD doesn't just fill up unnecessarily. Because most files never change, there is only ever one actual copy of those files on the HDD. Every other reference to it is a link. And if a newer version of a file is added to &quot;current&quot;, then all the snapshots pointing to the older version are now automatically pointing to a single version of the original. Modern HDD file systems takes care of that by themselves. Although there are all sorts of refinements in the script, the main commands are simple.

Is your “home computer” really on the same network as the server? If not, maybe the home computer is behind a firewall and you can't initiate a connection from the server to the home computer, only from the home computer to the server. In particular, if the home computer is behind a &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;NAT&lt;/a&gt; and the server is outside the NATed area, the server simply can't see the home computer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Other answers have noted potential problems with your command. If you had cut and pasted the exact error message (which you should have done), it would have been possible to tell whether these potential problems were actual problems.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In any case, reverse ssh connections (i.e. ssh from home to server then back from server to home) are hard to manage (potential firewall trouble, potential authentication trouble, need to run an ssh server locally). So instead of initiating the copy from the server, initiate it from the home computer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Furthermore, scp is not a particularly good tool to copy a large number of files. If you want to make a one-time copy, or if you're always going to copy files from the server to the home computer and never the other way round, use rsync. If you want to keep the two computers synchronized, use unison — it's easier to use and less error-prone than rsync for two-way synchronization.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1059" LastActivityDate="2010-08-30T20:15:17.693" />

On the other hand, a 32-bit program can only access less about 3GB of memory.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Which one is faster depends on the application (number crunching can be more than twice as fast in 64-bit mode, while symbolic manipulation can be more than twice as slow).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If in doubt, on an amd64-capable processor, use an amd64 distribution.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1059" LastActivityDate="2010-08-31T23:57:50.917" CommentCount="1" />

Registers provide vim with a built-in clipboard manager, which works only inside vim; so if you want the same ease within another text editor (though I doubt it would be quite as easy), you could find one useful.  Between vim and other programs, I just use the primary selection and regular clipboard, and that's been plenty.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Remember that you already have two &quot;clipboards&quot; on *nix systems: the primary selection plus the clipboard (there's actually more, but they're very rarely used).  This is a feature of the X Window System.  Whenever you select something (i.e. highlight), you can enter it in another program with a middle-click.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_selection&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Wikipedia's article&lt;/a&gt; isn't kidding that you'll predominately use the primary selection once you get used to it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, programs usually limit use of the primary selection to text.  For example, open both nautilus and a text editor.  Select a few files, then try to middle-click in the text editor: it won't work.  (Nautilus doesn't acquire the primary selection so you'll get whatever was previously there, if anything.  It could have been designed to do this differently, but it wasn't—I don't know if this was deliberate or not.)  Copy those files to the clipboard (ctrl+c or edit &gt; copy), then paste in your text editor to get the filenames.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" LastActivityDate="2010-09-02T04:48:00.127" />

Sometimes you're &quot;lucky&quot; and the vulnerability &quot;just&quot; allows for some limited disclosure, but often the vulnerabilities allow for arbitrary code execution.  At that point, you're in deep doo-dah, just as deep as ActiveX problems.  And those holes can be in the handling for image files (malicious images), or for sound, or almost anything else.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;ActiveX was worse because it provided a way for code writers to declare &quot;If this is installed, it's safe to be referenced from a web-page&quot; and a lot of coders turned that on without understanding the implications, so there were a lot of targets and it would be easy to get out.  But you have just as much exposure from bad handling of weird numbers in image files.  It's just that the image-file problems are fixed by updating the browser.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The only defense against any of this is to use sandboxing, which limits what a process running as a user can do.  OpenBSD pioneered making this popular with privilege separation of various daemons (most notably OpenSSH, so you're using this on Ubuntu now).  Chrome popularised this for web-browsers, but only has sandboxing on some platforms.  Ironically perhaps, for a while you were probably safer with Chrome on Windows than any graphical browser on Linux.  Fortunately, this is changing.  I believe that some partial protection is in the Linux releases now.  The Capsicum project showed how this could be done more fully on FreeBSD (with a capability system) and hopefully at some point the Linux kernel devs will stop fighting over which security model is best and just go with something that becomes near-universally available for web-browsers to rely upon, rather than the blunt hammer that is the suid wrapper which allows for chroot pseudo-sandboxes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/capsicum/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/capsicum/&lt;/a&gt; is good if you want to explore capability systems for sandboxes and see how things might get better.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1894" LastActivityDate="2010-09-02T18:56:08.920" />

Firefox has something similar—and cross-platform compatible, Ubuntu or other—for both.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The object model of ActiveX is &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_Object_Model&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Microsoft COM&lt;/a&gt;; Firefox's equivalent is &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XPCOM&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;XPCOM&lt;/a&gt;. Many other Windows features and applications that are nothing to do with web browsing use MS COM, and there have traditionally been endless problems where COM controls that were not written for secure web usage were nonetheless available to web pages. This caused many compromises. Firefox is better off here as XPCOM is not shared with the rest of the system. Newer versions of IE have better controls for mitigating what sites are allowed to use what controls.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;(As a side-issue, because many add-ons for Firefox are themselves written in JavaScript, a high-level scripting language, they are often more secure from buffer overflow and string handling errors than extensions for IE which are commonly written in C[++].)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The control-downloader part of ActiveX has also been cleaned up a bit since the bad old days when anything in the My Computer zone could install any software it liked, and aggressive loader scripts could trap you in an &lt;code&gt;alert&lt;/code&gt; loop until you agreed to approve the ActiveX prompt. Firefox's equivalent, &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XPInstall&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;XPInstall&lt;/a&gt;, behaves largely similarly, with the ‘information bar’ on all but Mozilla's sites by default and a suitable warning/prompt before installation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is another built-in way you can compromise yourself in Mozilla: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/signed-scripts.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;signed scripts&lt;/a&gt;. I have never seen this actually used, and certainly there'll be another warning window appear before a script gains extra rights, but it kind of worries me that this is available to web pages at all.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;for example an exploit through flash will gain access to my pc under my user rights&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yes, the majority of web exploits today occur in plugins. Adobe Reader, Java(*) and QuickTime are the most popular/vulnerable. IMO: get rid of those, and use FlashBlock to only show Flash when you want it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;(*: and Java's dialogues before it lets you give up all security to some untrusted applet is a bit bare too.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ubuntu gives you some questionable plugins by default, in particular a media player plugin that will make every vulnerability in any of your media codecs exploitable through the web (similar to the Windows Media Player plugin, only potentially with many more formats). Whilst I have yet to meet an exploit targeting Linux like this, that's really only security through obscurity.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note that ActiveX itself is no different. A web browser compromise based on ActiveX still only gives user-level access; it's only because prior to Vista everyone habitually ran everything as Administrator that this escalated to a full-on rooting.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;and then follow to exploit some known vulnerability in X to gain root rights. that is not &quot;easy&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Maybe, maybe not.

Even if you don't want it, it will give you insight into changes you can make to not necessarily get the look but get the feel.  The AWN dock with the DockbarX applet is highly recommended as a Gnome Panel replacement.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Gnomenu can replicate the Windows 7 menu, but that's a step backwards imo.  Nautilus Elementary with Gloobus Preview can give you Mac's Quick Look feature.  I've never used a Mac, but I love that feature!  Nautilus Actions can add items your File Manager context menu and Wine can let you install Windows apps like Utorrent.  The Screenlets app will allow you to install desktop widgets.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The Global Menu applet will give you your apps' menus in the panel (I'm told this is like Mac). Window Buttons will allow you to have your close, minimize, and maximize buttons in the panel.  With these two applets you can hide your maximized windows' title and menu bars giving you much more vertical space.  (I'm assuming you have CCSM already?!)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I could go on, but I think that's plenty.

Good luck.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Edit:  I should note that by installing Compiz Config Settings Manager you will get, imo, functionality superior to just about everything, plus cool eyecandy.  There's tiling, window placement, transparency, zoom, Expo, add and arrage virtual desktops, and more.  Compiz makes Ubuntu/Gnome so easy to use that I find it literally HARD to use Windows 7 and only log into it when I have absolutely no choice (which is almost never).  This is just my opinion though.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I also didn't mention Easystroke, a system wide mouse gesture program available in the repositories, which is fantastic.  You can configure that to move/tile windows, open menus, go back or open new tabs in Firefox/Chrome/Opera, and so on.  And don't forget about the super convenient launcher Gnome-do.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The best thing?

I know that some other VPN client/server are imposing a blocking mode, so that everything actually goes through the VPN. What you want is know as &quot;Split Mode&quot;,where part of the routing is going through the virtual adapter, forwarded as encrypted, and the rest goes as usual. Since there seems to be more flexibility under Linux, you should be able (as root) to view your actual routes and change those, or change them in the configuration. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note that some servers may be able to &lt;em&gt;FORCE&lt;/em&gt; a routing to the server, blocking any other route. This may be based on thepolicy and configuration of the VPN server.

Once I am connected, I can still connect to gmail.com to retrieve my email, while having access to the protected network.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One of the reeasons to do this on VPN is that some organizations do not want to have split connections to avoid infomration leaks that could happen, should ouy have a trojan that could spy on you.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1464" LastActivityDate="2010-09-03T16:05:48.123" />

You can put more than one. The first one is the symbol associated with the unmodified key, while other positions are for symbols associated with the key + some modifier.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Commonly it's used to define the behavior of the key plus the &quot;SHIFT&quot; modifier:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xA;  key  {        [         l,    L               ]       };&#xA;  key  {        [ semicolon,    colon           ]       };&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But also other modifiers can be specified, for example in the esperanto map (epo):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xA;  key   { [ jcircumflex,  Jcircumflex,  bracketleft,   braceleft  ] };&#xA;  key   { [ hcircumflex,  Hcircumflex,  bracketright,  braceright ] };&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;you can type a [ character by typing AltGr + key  (the [ key on the us keymap), and { by Shift+AltGr + key .&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So far so good.

Let's try to add the following lines:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xA; key  { type=&quot;CTRL+ALT&quot;, symbols[Group1]= [  Left, Prior                ]       };&#xA; key  { type=&quot;CTRL+ALT&quot;, symbols[Group1]= [  Down, Next                 ]       };&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Just below the original definitions of LEFT and DOWN, in the bottom part of the 'pc' file.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And then restart the X server.

Back then, I only created a partition that allowed for a few gigs of space. I deleted the partition in windows and gave myself the 30gb partition. This is because I planned to work from my Ubuntu partition entirely except for the above-mentioned things. It worked fine for a week or so.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then, for some reason, the Ubuntu loading screen (the purple one with the four or five red dots that slowly light up) went wrong. Instead of coming to this screen from start-up in my native resolution of 1440x900 and having the dots all light up before the operating system presented the login screen, the system waited a while at the screen with the blinking underscore, then quickly flashed green, presented the purple Ubuntu screen in a low resolution, allowed time for only 2 or 3 dots to light up, and the instantly took me to the login screen.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This was originally only a problem with start-up. However, it is now a problem with shutdown too, and I fear it might be detrimental to my system the way it works. Whenever I shut down, the same purple Ubuntu screen comes up in low resolution. There is no green flash here. It just appears after my programs are assumed to have closed. The dots begin to light up, and after only a couple of the dots light up as opposed to all of them, the system suddenly just shuts down.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Lately, it has also had some other problems. These happen every once in a while as in every three or four days. When I go to shut down, the purple Ubuntu screen will appear but without the dots yet still in a low resolution mode.

Sometimes this text appears for a short while before the shutdown.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Other times, my system has actually been stuck on this screen; requiring a hard shutdown.

I replaced a Seagate Barracuda 320GB with a WD Caviar Blue 640GB, and reinstalled from scratch.

Linux hadn't even started yet. I went into the BIOS and removed unnecessary drives from the boot sequence, and now there's a lot less time spent looking at a blinking cursor (though still more than there used to be) and Plymouth displays normally.

It seems Touchscreens is on of those specialist things that not a lot of people know much about.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So my questions&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;1  Any tips to get this to work correctly?  My major problem seems to be the newer boot process in 10.04&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;2  Any alternative calibration software or touchscreen driver that may work or is worth trying? (serial, not usb).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It seems that the the driver is not initiating correctly.. the calibration software and control panel do not detect the controller for some reason.  My assumption as the moment is that the init script is not correct... most likely due to changes in Ubuntu's start up process&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Edit:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It seems I can now run the control panel script correctly, I was having problems with java but I just had to exicute it differently.  Now I problem I the control panel and Calibration software cannot detect the touchscreen,  everthing runs but just cant find it even though its connected and it responds if I enable the sceen manually.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The error is, &quot;touchscreen 1 is not present&quot;...  .&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;(also there doenst seem to be a touch screen tag)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="58" LastEditorUserId="235" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-10-23T00:10:25.750" LastActivityDate="2010-10-23T00:10:25.750" Title="Setting up a 3m Serial Touchscreen" Tags="&lt;10.04&gt;&lt;driver&gt;&lt;multi-touch&gt;" AnswerCount="3" CommentCount="4" />

Similar tools exist for Chrome as well. I include adblocking as a protection because I've seen ads on legitimate sites that were really malware loaders, so I recommend using an ad blocker unless you have a reason not to for a specific site. NoScript also helps a lot, by preventing JavaScript from running unless you allow it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For email, the obvious recommendations to not open unknown or unexpected attached files without inspection is still a good recommendation. I'd also see what you can turn off. Some clients let you disable JavaScript in inbound HTML email, or disable the HTML part of a message entirely.

This is handy for server&#xA; backups for instance (you cannot stop all your applications from&#xA; writing, so you create a snapshot and backup the snapshot LV),&#xA; but can also be used to provide a &quot;safety net&quot; before a critical&#xA; system upgrade (clone the root partition, upgrade, revert if&#xA; something went wrong).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While being most useful on server systems, I think that features&#xA;1. and 3., combined with LVM's ability to create/resize/delete LVs on&#xA;the fly, are quite handy on desktop systems as well.  (Especially if&#xA;you experiment a lot with the system.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of course, all of this comes at a price: the initial set-up of LVM is&#xA;more complex than just partitioning a disk, and you will definitely&#xA;need to understand the LVM terminology and model (Logical Volumes,&#xA;Physical Volumes, Volume Groups) before you can &lt;em&gt;start&lt;/em&gt; using it.&#xA;(Once it is set up, using it is much easier, though.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Reccommended reading: &lt;a href=&quot;http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The LVM HOW-TO&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="325" LastActivityDate="2010-09-07T20:39:24.513" />

Not Mark Shutleworth. What I mean there is that Canonical is a commercial company that sells services (training, support, customizations for OEM...). Last time I heard from them, they were making some money, not enough to be profitable, but they are not crashing either.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;second, Mark Shuttleworth created the &quot;Ubuntu Fundation&quot;, an association whose purpose is to fund the Ubuntu development/support, if Canonical fails. The Fundation has 10M$ in cash, and is doing nothing with it (well, I guess they have placed the money somewhere, but that's not the purpose). It is in a &quot;dormant&quot; state, and will be activated if Canonical cannot support Ubuntu anymore. If it is ever activated, it will pay the Ubuntu developer to continue their job, as long as possible, and at the minimum until the existing Ubuntu release reaches their respective end of life.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The important point here is that neither Ubuntu, Canonical, nor the Ubuntu Fundation are dependant on Mark Shuttleworth's money. He already gave some of it to those institutions, and now they own it...

If you're expected to code in VB.NET (and not C#) I seriously doubt your school curriculum is updated to cover these features.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;MonoDevelop doesn't support the 'Attach to process...' feature found in VS which is used to debug dll (dynamic link library) source by actively debugging it while it's running in a process. This can be a severe pain if you're developing/testing libraries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;MonoDevelop doesn't support WinForms or WPF. Essentially, you can't create windows proprietary GUIs. Namely, standard Winforms, WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation), or Silverlight (A minimal web based version of WPF) GUI's. IE, if your class involves GUI development this can be a severe limitation. If you want to create non-proprietary X-platform GUIs use GTK# as there's also a GTK# addon plugin for Visual Studio in Windows.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Verify that the correct .NET framework target is being used. After creating a solution, right click on the project and goto Options-&gt;Build-&gt;General. It should be set to 'Mono / .NET 3.5'. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Aside from those issues, I haven't really found anything missing that I can't live without.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The only other issue (non mono related) that may come back to bite you is the classic line ending problem. *nix still uses LF and Windows still uses CRLF for line endings so, when you transfer your source files back and fourth between Windows/*nix. AFIAK, MonoDevelop saves source files in UTF-8 by default but VS saves source files in Windows ASCII (with windows-1252 latin ASCII with windows specific line endings). If you receive source files that were created using Visual Studio you may need to convert the format to get it to work in *nix.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As you can see, x-platform .NET development can be a little challenging at first but IMHO, it's worth it. I like MonoDevelop's non-cluttered interface (the visual effects in VS just get in the way most of the time), it loads in a fraction of the time that VS does (useful if you don't typically leave your IDE open all the time), it takes up a fraction of the space with no extra unnecessary addons (VS is really obnoxious about this), and I installing it was easy as sudo apt-get install monodevelop. Also, popular tools like NUnit (for unit testing) have been ported over to and work flawlessly in *nix. The windows version of MonoDevelop kinda sucks (or at least it did last time I tried it).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="2139" LastEditorUserId="866" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-11-11T17:25:40.427" LastActivityDate="2010-11-11T17:25:40.427" CommentCount="2" />

Some applications treat it as one big 3840*1200 panel but that's pretty undesirable in first person shooters as your sights end up in the gap between the two screens.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So I usually run Wine games in a 1920*1200px window. The window manager makes it full-screen on one screen and that works great for some games. However some games lag and that allows the mouse to fly out the side of the Wine window, causing my player to spin like a fox on drugs.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And then there are a whole load of native games (X3, OpenArena, Quake4, QuakeWars, etc) that don't have a good windowed mode. Using windowed mode on X3 results in the mouse becoming uber-sensitive.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Wouldn't it be nice if I could launch some games in a new X session that just used one screen?!&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It would.

It would be better if I could explicitly state the mode in this executable. Is there a way to do that?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There's also no sound.

Just make sure that the 'resulting' viewport has a unique resolution. Otherwise the games won't understand it. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Interestingly, when you alt-tab out of a game, your system will switch back to the original meta-mode, and when alt-tab back into a game, it will go to back to configured meta-mode for the game. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wine/Steam&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The meta-mode trick will work with wine as well. However, there are games that don't support changing the resolution. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A nice workaround: &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;- turn on emulate virtual desktop, in wine-config, and set it to your desktop size&#xA;- compiz will automatically turn it into 'fullscreen' mode and hide panels&#xA;- the mouse will be captured properly.

It achieves gnome compatibility because it uses the freedesktop trash spec, as gnome.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;2) It tries to use the same format as rm, so it can be aliased to it.

A fragment from nvidia-settings --help:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;-a, --assign=[ASSIGN]&#xA;  The ASSIGN argument to the '--assign' commandline option is of the form:&#xA;&#xA;    {DISPLAY}/{attribute name}[{display devices}]={value}&#xA;&#xA;  This assigns the attribute {attribute name} to the value {value} on the X&#xA;  Display {DISPLAY}.  {DISPLAY} follows the usual {host}:{display}.{screen}&#xA;  syntax of the DISPLAY environment variable and is optional; when it is&#xA;  not specified, then it is implied following the same rule as the&#xA;  --ctrl-display option.  If the X screen is not specified, then the&#xA;  assignment is made to all X screens.  Note that the '/' is only required&#xA;  when {DISPLAY} is present.&#xA;&#xA;  {DISPLAY} can additionally include a target specification to direct an&#xA;  assignment to something other than an X screen.

The target type name can be one of &quot;screen&quot;, &quot;gpu&quot;,&#xA;  &quot;framelock&quot;, &quot;vcs&quot;, &quot;gvi&quot;, or &quot;fan&quot;; the target id is the index into the&#xA;  list of targets (for that target type).

Open a terminal and type:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;xmodmap -pke&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This will give you a list of numbered positions on your keyboard and what they are mapped to. E.g., you might see an entry like:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;keycode 14 = 5 percent 5 percent&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This means that a certain key is mapped to 5 when pressed normally, the percent sign % when pressed with a shift. (And the next two values are for when Mode_shift is active; but let's not get into that right now.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If I wanted to change this key I could type in:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;xmodmap -e &quot;keycode 14 = 5 U203D 5 UD203D&quot;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, instead of getting a percent sign % when I type shift-5, I get ‽. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That's just an example; probably you don't want to remap % to ‽. But maybe there's some other key you don't use a lot. For example, one nice option might be to remap the shift-Menu instead. So I see from &lt;code&gt;xmodmap -pke&lt;/code&gt; that I have:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;xmodmap -e &quot;keycode 135 = Menu Menu Menu Menu&quot;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I might make it instead:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;xmodmap -e &quot;keycode 135 = Menu U203D Menu U203D&quot;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If I want to make that permanent, just through it inside some bash script that runs automatically, like .bashrc or .xinitrc, or create your own that Lubuntu loads automatically.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, it's very important to run &lt;code&gt;xmodmap -pke&lt;/code&gt; first to see what your initial set up. &lt;i&gt;Your keycode numbers may well be different from mine.&lt;/i&gt; And it's also the best way to see what else is available.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Anyway, that's a very low-level option.

The &lt;code&gt;| vncviewer&lt;/code&gt; bit just opens the VNC client at the same time. That might be specific to my phone, so you might need to change that to whatever VNC viewer you use.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;NoMachine/FreeNX&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are other options perhaps better suited to the task.

It won't support the production-ready features Django will have then so you'll want to install from outside the repositories.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It lets you keep multiple, fairly static virtual environment python stacks around. This means you can have a websites on old versions of things, other websites on other versions in another stack, test updates on new stacks, etc. It's a powerful concept but you need to keep on top of the versions as you don't have a package manager holding your hand for security updates.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.saltycrane.com/blog/2009/05/notes-using-pip-and-virtualenv-django/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.saltycrane.com/blog/2009/05/notes-using-pip-and-virtualenv-django/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you're looking for the best of both worlds, use the latest versions.

To the best of my knowledge straight VNC is none of those things, which is where I get confused - why wouldn't a better desktop sharing technology be developed or used in the open-source world? I know VNC can be wrapped with SSH, but that seems beyond the reach of a casual user.

I had rather assumed you were trying to do this from work but now realise that may not be the case.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Step one: Make your internet connection locatable.&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Most ISPs give their users dynamic IPs. This is as much (try to) stop people hosting things as it is protecting them from people who find out their IP and want to attack their computer directly. Either way, it makes things hard if you want to connect to your home network.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We fix this with one of many services that fall under the category &quot;dynamic DNS&quot;. In short your computer (or router) tells a third party service what your current internet IP is and they store it as a DNS entry. You end up with a domain name that you can connect to your home network through.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dyndns.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;DynDNS&lt;/a&gt; is probably the biggest but there are hundreds of companies providing very similar sets of services for free. The good ones have Linux clients available. But check your router as lots come with clients built in and that could save you some time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I won't mention this again but it's an essential thing to do.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Step two: SSH&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Rather than connecting directly to a VNC (or other) server, I strongly suggest you install a SSH server and connect to your desktop over SSH and tunnel the VNC port back to your computer. Sounds like a pain in the bottom and.. Well.. It is. But it provides you strong authentication and should keep bad people out. VNC has in the past had quite a few security issues so it's best (IMO) not to give people direct access to it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Installing the server is pretty simple: &lt;code&gt;sudo apt-get install openssh-server&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, I would move it to a non-standard port (mine are all in the 4xxxx range). This helps stop people detecting it by port scanning and therefore helps stop people try and brute force their way in.

This is much stronger than password authentication but it requires you have your keyfile with you all the time. Pretty trivial if you're used to taking a USB key around with you or you're happy leaving your key on the Windows computer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We'll stick with password auth for now.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One more thing, we need to make it so people outside the network can access the SSH server. This part is called port-forwarding. Simple but it varies from router to router. You should be able to find a guide here if you need one: &lt;a href=&quot;http://portforward.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://portforward.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Step three: VNC&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I hate VNC but it serves a purpose. It's slow, falls over all the time but it's by far the most simple way to connect to your computer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Rather than installing a SSH server that runs all the time, I use &lt;code&gt;x11vnc&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Step four: Putty&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You need something to connect to SSH from Windows. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Putty&lt;/a&gt; is that application. Getting and installing the app is simple enough (there are even portable versions if you just want to carry it around on a USB stick).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We need to tell Putty to make the remote VNC server available over SSH. This is known as tunnelling. Fortunately it's dead simple. It's graphical so look here for a screenshot guide: &lt;a href=&quot;http://oldsite.precedence.co.uk/nc/putty.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://oldsite.precedence.co.uk/nc/putty.html&lt;/a&gt; (Just use port 5900 instead of whatever port they're using!)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At this point you should be able to connect to your server over SSH. Test it out. When you're logged in, run &lt;code&gt;x11vnc&lt;/code&gt;, it'll detect the display and eventually say something along the lines of &quot;awaiting connections&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At this point you can run your VNC client (sorry, having not used Windows properly for years, I've no idea what the best client is). When it asks, connect to &lt;code&gt;localhost&lt;/code&gt; (yes, &lt;code&gt;localhost&lt;/code&gt;), port &lt;code&gt;5900&lt;/code&gt; (should be default). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Bish bash bosh. You should have full control of your home desktop.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can streamline this with various run-on-connect commands. I'm no Putty expert so I'll leave this to you.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="449" LastActivityDate="2010-09-13T20:27:28.090" />

You can have sound from both applications, but only at the same volume).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PulseAudio&lt;/strong&gt; - Essentially an interface layer that sits on top of ALSA, allows multiple applications to have their own volumes and sound settings.

I have edited my &lt;code&gt;smb.conf&lt;/code&gt; file several ways to get this to work, including changing the name so it matches and the mount point directory where it should live.  It is currently like so:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;[Main-BackUp]&#xA;comment = Backup drive&#xA;path = /media/Main-BackUp&#xA;guest ok = yes&#xA;browseable = yes&#xA;read only = no&#xA;create mask = 0777&#xA;directory mask = 0777&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But I have changed the line &lt;code&gt;path = /media/Main-BackUp&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code&gt;path = /media/FreeAgent&lt;/code&gt; with no success.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then, some time later, it does this again, and another mount point is created &lt;code&gt;/media/Main-BackUp_&lt;/code&gt; and then the previous mount doesn't have any files but this new one does.  Each time, a window pops up with the new mount and the files on my external drive.  If I leave this machine alone for an hour or so, it will repeat this process 5 or 6 times.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I successfully mounted a Drobo on my work network using a similar technique and it works great.  Not sure what I'm doing wrong.  Any help is greatly appreciated.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE&lt;/strong&gt; - So I commented out the lines in the &lt;code&gt;smb.conf&lt;/code&gt; and experimented with the drive auto-mounting on it's own.  Still happens.  I searched for a way to run off auto-mounting, but in 10.04 I can't find it.  I tried Preferences &gt; File Management &gt; Media and unchecked anything that seemed likely to cause this to no avail.  Towards the end of the auto-mounting experiment after commenting out the lines in &lt;code&gt;smb.conf&lt;/code&gt; this error was generated:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://nicorellius.com/images/Screenshot.png&quot; alt=&quot;alt text&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE 2&lt;/strong&gt; - The drive mounts OK, but then several minutes later, the network share becomes blank and the files aren't there.  I go to the server computer and look at the drive, and this most recent time, the drive shifted from sdb1 to sdc1.  I remounted and it seemed to work again but then after a few minutes, the same behavior comes back...  Empty share.  This is odd behavior and I'm not sure I'm getting the root cause.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364" LastEditorUserId="364" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-09-16T00:03:02.337" LastActivityDate="2010-10-15T00:36:00.783" Title="SeaGate FreeAgent External Hard Drive Keeps Auto-mounting Repeatedly" Tags="&lt;10.04&gt;&lt;ubuntu-desktop&gt;&lt;mount&gt;&lt;samba&gt;" AnswerCount="2" />

That will generally result in a dialog box saying that the program is not responding (but you already knew that) and presenting you with the option to kill the program or to continue to wait for it to respond. &#xA;Sometimes this does not work as expected. If you can't close a window by normal means, you can open a terminal (or use Alt+F2) and run &lt;code&gt;xkill&lt;/code&gt;. Your mouse cursor will then turn into an X- hover over the offending window and left-click to kill that process.&#xA;When commands run from an xterm or console stop responding, they can sometimes be halted with Ctrl+C. Ctrl+Z will sometimes work when that fails. If neither of these works, open another terminal and run &lt;code&gt;ps ax |grep foo&lt;/code&gt; where foo is the name of the unresponsive program. This should return a line of output  that looks something like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;$ ps ax |grep firefox&#xA;2222 ?

To halt the offending process, do:&#xA;&lt;code&gt; kill -9 bar&lt;/code&gt; where bar is the Process ID of the program. You might have to use your judgment as to which of the matches needs to be &lt;code&gt;kill&lt;/code&gt;ed, or you could use &lt;code&gt;top&lt;/code&gt; instead.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you are running GNOME, of course, you don't have to fool with this crazy command-line stuff to get the job done- just go to System-&amp;gt;Administration-&amp;gt;System Monitor. Navigate to the Processes tab. Choose the process you want to halt (Hm, could it be the one using 90% CPU?) and right-click it. Since the process is already stopped, (that's the problem, right?) choose End Process or Kill Process from the resulting menu.&#xA;I'm not sure what the difference is between the two. In my experience they both get the job done. Perhaps someone can chime in with that information?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When the mouse stops working: If the keyboard still works, hit Alt+F2 and run &lt;code&gt;gnome-terminal&lt;/code&gt;.

If you just want to try restarting the GUI, run &lt;code&gt; sudo service gdm restart&lt;/code&gt;.

If that doesn't work, hit the Reset button on the computer case. If even that doesn't work, you'll just have to power-cycle the machine.

Therefore, no program should rely on this location.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;h3&gt;Requirements&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;User specific configuration files for applications are stored in the user's home directory in a file that starts with the '.' character (a &quot;dot file&quot;).

Once the text has been rendered, there's no reason why any component of the system would have kept the information of what font it was rendered from around.

Disks following the specs can accept multiple ranges but the kernel currently can only do one range at a time. This comes from something I read perhaps a month ago. I wish I had the source as this might not be true or might no longer apply.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Journalling is what kills it for me. Data corruption is a PITA.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However the newer versions of hdparm (v9.25 - Maverick is at v9.27) come with a script called &lt;code&gt;wiper.sh&lt;/code&gt; which performs a quick analysis of a drive and then trims all the empty space. Rather than lose features, I find it much easier to cron &lt;code&gt;wiper.sh&lt;/code&gt; to run once a week (or once a day/month/whatever). SSD degradation for an OS drive doesn't happen that fast unless you're constantly tearing things up. You don't &lt;em&gt;need&lt;/em&gt; realtime TRIMming.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is also a GUI frontend called &lt;a href=&quot;http://disktrim.sourceforge.net/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;DiskTRIM&lt;/a&gt; which doesn't appear to be in the repos.

First off, the kernel support needed is only available in the 10.10 kernel. According to Tim Gardner you can get this support in 10.04 by using a &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/440522/comments/17&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;backported kernel&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your filesystem will also need extended attribute support.

Don't forget to remount it after you've made the changes. Here's my excerpt (modify to your needs):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;192.168.1.115:/home/jorge /home/jorge/Backup nfs rw,hard,intr,fsc&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Start the service: &lt;code&gt;sudo /etc/init.d/cachefilesd start&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Configuration of the cache is done in &lt;code&gt;/etc/cachefilesd.conf&lt;/code&gt;, see the references for what the setting options are.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;References:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7378&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Linux Magazine&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://kerneltrap.org/taxonomy/term/9851.&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Kernel Trap&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;/usr/share/doc/cachefilesd/howto.txt.gz&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;/usr/share/doc/cachefilesd/README.gz&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="235" LastEditorUserId="235" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-11-17T16:36:14.080" LastActivityDate="2010-11-17T16:36:14.080" />

The X11 Primary Selection.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While this isn't a solution, hopefully this explanation will make it clear WHY. In Ubuntu there are two clipboards at work. One, which everyone is familiar with, the freedesktop.org clipboard (captures &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;C&lt;/kbd&gt; command) The second is a clipboard manager that has been at play since before Ubuntu even existed - X11. The X Server (X11) manages three other clipboards: &lt;em&gt;Primary Selection&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Secondary Selection&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;Clipboard&lt;/em&gt;. When you select text with your pointer it gets copied to a buffer in the XServer, the Primary Selection, and awaits pasting by means of the Mouse 3 button. The other two were designed to be used by other applications in a means to share a common clipboard between applications. In this case the freedesktop.org clipboard manager in Ubuntu already does this for us.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Through the extent of my research I can not find a way to disable the X11 selection manager. There are no compilation flags, applications, or configuration values that can disable this. There are various ways around this on a per application basis (majority of these applications being command line ones) - but nothing on a global scale.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I realize this isn't an ideal solution - but seems to be the truth to the issue. The only relevant solution I could muster is actually a hack, create a script that executes an infinite while loop that just replaces the Primary Selection with a null value.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First install &lt;code&gt;xsel&lt;/code&gt; (Tool for manipulation of the X selection) &lt;code&gt;sudo apt-get install xsel&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The code is as follows:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;while(true)&#xA;do&#xA;    echo -n | xsel -n -i&#xA;done&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you place this in a script and add it to your startup scripts this shouldn't be an issue.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="41" LastActivityDate="2010-09-23T18:56:06.130" CommentCount="1" />

The step 4 is only a helpful suggestion based on a few minutes of googling. Take support of your IT or of mcaffee if possible.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With the above you should have your system back at the same state &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; you started installing ubuntu. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now you need to resize your ntfs partition - this is not possible by &lt;code&gt;fdisk&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;gparted&lt;/code&gt; or the ubuntu installer if the partition is encrypted. So, if it is possible, turn off encryption temporarily and decrypt the entire partition in place temporarily, then resize it and turn back encryption on. Again I am a total illiterate novice w.r.t safeboot trying to help with an abstract conceptual suggestion the practical application of which you need to figure out. If switching back to non-encrypted mode temporarily is not possible (due to tool constraints or lack of space) then u need to back up all data and settings and application information and re-install windows and apps again after re-partitioning the disk (because, repartitioning will mean a reformat of entire disk in this case).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you get this far, putting back ubuntu on the remaining space available should be trivial.

A maintainer will let you know.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Likewise, if you were to report a bug to an upstream app (like Firefox) that was caused by something in Ubuntu, not Firefox, they would refer you to report the bug downstream.

You should see a list of external repositories, and the one listed in your error (http://ppa.launchpad.net/user/ppa-name/ubuntu/) should be there.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Just uncheck the box next to it, or even remove it from the list, then close the window and launch the &quot;Update Manager&quot; again.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;2) If the PPA should really be working and you installed things through it, removing it from the sources will break the link of this software to its original repository, which means it won't be updated anymore. Maybe you don't really care, and then it's ok, but if you want to know what software it is and see if you can re-install its repository, follow the guidelines below :&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To locate it, you can go to Synaptics (&lt;code&gt;System-&amp;gt;Administration-&amp;gt;Synaptic Package Manager&lt;/code&gt;). On the lower left corner, you can select the &quot;state&quot; button, which shows, on the upper left, the &quot;local&quot; installed components. All software that are not linked to a repository will be shown there (either installed by a .deb, or because the link is broken as said above).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you have such &quot;local&quot; software, you can then try to understand where it was supposed to come from. Then you can try to re-install the propper repository for it (as you did in the first place).&#xA;This really depends on the software itself, so I can't be more precise...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Hope this helps...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="23" LastEditorUserId="23" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-09-29T18:57:49.183" LastActivityDate="2010-09-29T18:57:49.183" CommentCount="4" />

The websites require these to run but as long as the package still exists, this isn't an issue. I do this rather than using VirtualEnv (et al) because I &lt;em&gt;want&lt;/em&gt; Ubuntu to install security updates.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However the Ubuntu repos don't cater for everybody. There are cases where I'll use &lt;code&gt;pip&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;easy_install&lt;/code&gt; to suck in the latest version of a Python package. When you update Python (as occasionally happens in Ubuntu), you lose all your &lt;code&gt;pip&lt;/code&gt;-installed packages.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What terrifies me is the deeper I get, the more servers I administer, there's going to be an OS update one day that requires hours and hours of my time running around, testing sites, reinstalling python packages through &lt;code&gt;pip&lt;/code&gt;.

If something goes wrong, you can still roll back to the&#xA;old virtualenv quickly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Apparently, 2. is more work (but &lt;code&gt;pip&lt;/code&gt; plus some shell-scripting will&#xA;take you a long way towards automating it), but it should also be more&#xA;robust and will allow you to concurrently run applications that depend&#xA;on different versions of some Python package.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Regarding your question about an &lt;code&gt;apt-get&lt;/code&gt;-like for Python packages:&#xA;&lt;code&gt;pip&lt;/code&gt; explicitly disallows such a thing, and for a good reason:&#xA;package APIs and behavior may change across different versions.&#xA;Therefore, if your code runs fine against version X, it may fail when&#xA;run with version X+1.  This is exactly what &lt;code&gt;pip&lt;/code&gt; tries to prevent&#xA;with its &quot;freeze&quot; and &quot;requirements list&quot; features.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of course, the same argument can be applied to any program in a binary&#xA;distribution like Ubuntu; indeed, what makes &lt;code&gt;apt-get&lt;/code&gt; useful is that&#xA;Debian and Ubuntu provide a &lt;em&gt;coordinated release&lt;/em&gt; of interoperable&#xA;packages: a lot of effort from the maintainers goes into ensuring that&#xA;all Ubuntu packages in the main repositories are compatible.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is just no such coordinated release of Python packages: each&#xA;package is independent and no information is available about what&#xA;version of other Python packages are compatible with it.

When Wine does work there are some important benefits over virtualization: performance is noticeably better, they're easier to run (links right off the Application menu), and they become integrated with the system (easy access to the files in your home folder, no windows in windows, and if they have a system tray icon it sits in the panel).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If every app you need works in Wine, then you also get the added benefit of not needing a copy of Windows for your virtual machine.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;An alternative to testing them in Wine is to look them up in Wine's application database: &lt;a href=&quot;http://appdb.winehq.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://appdb.winehq.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Currently, I also recommend using my packages from the Wine PPA rather than the packages that come with Ubuntu (which are also mine).

I have run into problems here and there, but generally speaking, PPA's are the only way to get your software updated in Ubuntu between distro releases (don't get me into a rant about that).  It's too much to explain here, so I will point you to some worthwhile documentation.  But first, a few simple rules:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Know what you're installing.  Most likely you'll use Launchpad for the majority of your PPA needs, but even so it can be dangerous to your computer.  Usually the worry for me is not malicious intent, but conflicting packages.  If package A requires a modified version of ffmpeg, and package B in a different repository requires a modified version of ffmpeg too, well, now there's a good chance you might not be able to watch videos, for example, with package A or B or at all.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Keep in mind that anyone can create a PPA, even you.  Just because a person signs the Code of Conduct doesn't mean they know what they're doing.  On Launchpad there is not only updates to stable releases, but also beta and alpha software, and even stuff that doesn't quite work at all yet.  There are many useful repositories, such as to get the latest Nvidia drivers or the current stable release of Pidgin.  Then again, there's stuff that some guy made in his basement for himself and a couple of friends.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That said, the Ubuntu documentation web pages should have everything you need to know in a pretty understandable format.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Repositories in Ubuntu: &lt;a href=&quot;https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Software management: &lt;a href=&quot;https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Repositories and the command line: &lt;a href=&quot;https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A quick note: I assume you're using Ubuntu 10.04.  If you're using 10.10 there is no more &quot;Software Sources&quot; in your menu, even though it is referred to in some of the documentation.  To access it simply open the Synaptic Package Manager then select Settings -&gt; Repositories from the menu.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Good Luck and I hope this was helpful. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Edit: Please know that installing software through the Ubuntu Software Center can be troublesome.  This is because it does not tell you what dependencies a particular app you want to install requires.  That is, you could install the entire KDE desktop, hundreds of Mb's worth of stuff, just to get a screen ruler or firewall configurator.  I learned this the hard way...  For example, type &quot;kruler&quot; in the search box and you will see the final install size as almost 100Mbs.  At least pay close attention to the final install size if you insist on using the USC.  Most new users are unfamiliar with the concepts of window managers and desktop environments having only known Windows, so be careful about simply relying on USC and not learning all about PPAs, which is what I recommend.  It's a little more work and this is just my opinion, but you'll probably be happy you did! :)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1910" LastEditorUserId="1910" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-10-20T11:53:24.033" LastActivityDate="2010-10-20T11:53:24.033" CommunityOwnedDate="2010-09-30T20:43:39.303" />

Routing (i.e. deciding where to send packets to) is performed at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Protocol&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;IP&lt;/a&gt; level, which only knows about IP addresses.

(I'm assuming that for other protocols, you'll always use a particular network.) The web proxy itself isn't going to do anything other than relay requests, so any will do: a big one (&lt;code&gt;squid&lt;/code&gt;), one specialized for cacheing (&lt;code&gt;wwwoffle&lt;/code&gt;), a simple tiny one (&lt;code&gt;tinyproxy&lt;/code&gt;), etc. (&lt;code&gt;aptitude search web proxy; aptitude search http proxy&lt;/code&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, for the solution I'm proposing (there may be other ways), don't configure your proxy in any special way (i.e. make it relay all requests), but run it as a dedicated user: create a user &lt;code&gt;alt-routed&lt;/code&gt; with no special privilege, and arrange for the proxy to run as this user.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then, make &lt;code&gt;wlan0&lt;/code&gt; the default route.

I will attempt to walk you through the configuration process, but my setup is different from yours so I may err. Hopefully someone will see it and correct it if I do.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First, run &lt;code&gt;paprefs&lt;/code&gt; on the server machine.

I don't know what that is so I have left it alone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Under &quot;Multicast/RTP&quot; tab, select:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Enable Multicast/RTP sender&quot; and&#xA;&quot;Create separate audio device for Multicast/RTP&quot;&#xA;That should do it for the server.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For each client, run &lt;code&gt;paprefs&lt;/code&gt; and:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Under &quot;Network Access&quot; tab, select:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Make discoverable PulseAudio network sound devices available locally&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Under &quot;Multicast/RTP&quot; tab, select:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Enable Multicast/RTP receiver&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This should suffice for client configuration.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When it's time to listen to your broadcast, connect the server to the internet stream in the usual way. Then open System&amp;rarr;Preferences&amp;rarr;Sound and select &quot;RTP Multicast&quot; from the &quot;Output&quot; tab.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;After that, on each client, open System&amp;rarr;Preferences&amp;rarr;Sound and look in the &quot;Input&quot; tab.

What sets them apart is what they do and how they are started (but it's not a hard-and-fast definition). Services typically don't have a user interface, and are typically started when the system boots and run in the background, listening to requests coming from other programs or through the network. Such processes are called &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_%28computer_software%29&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;daemons&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in the unix world.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There's a more general definition of &lt;strong&gt;service&lt;/strong&gt; that's more conceptual: a service is a feature that your computer provides. This definition roughly matches what is managed by the &lt;code&gt;service&lt;/code&gt; command. Many services are provided by daemons, but that's not always the case. For example the &lt;code&gt;gdm&lt;/code&gt; service (the default login manager) is provided by a process that's not really a daemon (it has a user interface for you to type your password). Services like &lt;code&gt;console-setup&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;mountall&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;networking&lt;/code&gt; (to take examples from &lt;code&gt;/etc/init&lt;/code&gt;) aren't provided by continuously running processes, but are enabled and disabled by running some state-changing commands.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another somewhat related concept is that of &lt;strong&gt;servers&lt;/strong&gt;. A server is a program that listens to connections from other programs. (The connections might come through the network or by various local communication means.) Many servers are daemons, but a short-lived program can be a server and won't be considered a daemon; a program with a user interface also won't be considered a daemon. For example, the Emacs editor can run a server that listens to external requests to open files (i.e. running &lt;code&gt;emacsclient myfile&lt;/code&gt; opens a file in a running instance of Emacs by contacting its associated &lt;code&gt;emascsserver&lt;/code&gt; process); Emacs can start in daemon mode, meaning that the server is started but no GUI (a window will be opened when you open a file). By extension, a server computer is a computer whose main purpose is to run server programs.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1059" LastActivityDate="2010-10-01T22:53:07.800" />

This is the traditional service management package for Linux, containing the &lt;code&gt;init&lt;/code&gt; program (the first process that is run when the kernel has finished initializing¹) as well as some infrastructure to start and stop services and configure them. Specifically, files in &lt;code&gt;/etc/init.d&lt;/code&gt; are shell scripts that respond to &lt;code&gt;start&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;stop&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;restart&lt;/code&gt;, and (when supported) &lt;code&gt;reload&lt;/code&gt; commands to manage a particular service. These scripts can be invoked directly or (most commonly) via some other trigger (typically the presence of a symbolic link in &lt;code&gt;/etc/rc?.d/&lt;/code&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;/etc/init&lt;/code&gt; contains configuration files used by Upstart. Upstart is a young service management package championed by Ubuntu. Files in &lt;code&gt;/etc/init&lt;/code&gt; are configuration files telling Upstart how and when to &lt;code&gt;start&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;stop&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;reload&lt;/code&gt; the configuration, or query the &lt;code&gt;status&lt;/code&gt; of a service. As of lucid, Ubuntu is transitioning from SysVinit to Upstart, which explains why many services come with SysVinit scripts even though Upstart configuration files are preferred. In fact, the SysVinit scripts are processed by a compatibility layer in Upstart.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;.d&lt;/code&gt; in directory names typically indicates a directory containing many configuration files or scripts for a particular situation (e.g. &lt;code&gt;/etc/apt/sources.list.d&lt;/code&gt; contains files that are concatenated to make a virtual &lt;code&gt;sources.list&lt;/code&gt;; &lt;code&gt;/etc/network/if-up.d&lt;/code&gt; contains scripts that are executed when a network &lt;strong&gt;i&lt;/strong&gt;nter&lt;strong&gt;f&lt;/strong&gt;ace is activated). This structure is usually used when each entry in the directory is provided by a different source, so that each package can deposit its own plug-in without having to parse a single configuration file to reference itself. In this case, it just happens that “init” is a logical name for the directory, SysVinit came first and used &lt;code&gt;init.d&lt;/code&gt;, and Upstart used plain &lt;code&gt;init&lt;/code&gt; for a directory with a similar purpose (it would have been more “mainstream”, and perhaps less arrogant, if they'd used &lt;code&gt;/etc/upstart.d&lt;/code&gt; instead).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;¹ &lt;sub&gt;not counting initrd&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1059" LastActivityDate="2010-10-01T23:28:10.430" CommentCount="1" />

If you're trying to run Windows .exe files in Wine, it should still work if you run wine explicitly, like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;wine /path/to/executable.exe&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you do need to execute files directly, you can set the permissions that will be applied to &lt;em&gt;all&lt;/em&gt; files with the &lt;code&gt;fmask&lt;/code&gt; option in &lt;code&gt;/etc/fstab&lt;/code&gt;. You may also need to add the &lt;code&gt;exec&lt;/code&gt; option if that's not the default for NTFS (I don't have a drive handy to check right now). The value for &lt;code&gt;fmask&lt;/code&gt; tells the driver which bits to turn off, so, for example, to allow read, write, and execute for all users, you should have something like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;/dev/hda1  /mnt/windows  ntfs-3g  defaults,exec,fmask=000  0  0&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If there's already an &lt;code&gt;fmask&lt;/code&gt; option, the simplest way to turn on the execute bit is to subtract 1 from any digit that's odd.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you don't know how permission masking works, the basic idea is that the read, write, and execute permissions are represented by the values 4, 2, and 1 respectively. You can add them together to combine permissions so, for example, reading + writing would be 6. The permission mask is a combination of three digits that apply to the owner, group, and &quot;others&quot; (everyone else).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Just remember that &lt;code&gt;fmask&lt;/code&gt; (also, &lt;code&gt;umask&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;dmask&lt;/code&gt;) in fstab are the permissions you want to &lt;strong&gt;turn off&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As a slightly more interesting example, this would set the permissions to &quot;rwx&quot; for the owner, &quot;rx&quot; for the group, and &quot;r&quot; for everyone else:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;/dev/hda1  /mnt/windows  ntfs-3g  defaults,exec,fmask=023  0  0&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="30" LastActivityDate="2010-10-02T16:52:17.383" CommentCount="2" />

It is flexible and very powerful but involves typing in a few commands into a terminal.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Step 0 - The approach&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The X-server manages the keyboard and all key events and translates that into keycodes for all applications.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The approach would be to map a modifier key (like Super or Right Alt key) as the &quot;mode switch&quot; key and tell the X-server to generate different codes depending on whether a key is pressed with Mode key being held down or not.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;By default there is no mode switch key defined and also all keys are configured to generate the same code when they are pressed with or without mode switch. This is good since this means except for the keys you override explicitly no other keys will behave differently or need additional configuration.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, I would like you to consider using Right Alt key as mode switch especially if you are also using compiz since some compiz plugins map super key shortcuts (e.g., window picker, shift switcher etc). If you are not keen on controlling compiz via the keyboard then Super is just fine.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To xmodmap, the super keys are identified as Super_L or Super_R. You need to pick one to use as the mode switch key. Alternatively, the right alt key is Alt_R. You can confirm these by running xev and pressing the necessary keys on your keyboard.

Towards the end of the file, you will see some lines like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;keycode 253 =&#xA;keycode 254 =&#xA;keycode 255 =&#xA;xmodmap:  up to 4 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;shift       Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)&#xA;lock        Caps_Lock (0x42)&#xA;control     Control_L (0x25),  Control_R (0x69)&#xA;mod1        Alt_L (0x40),  Alt_R (0x6c),  Meta_L (0xcd)&#xA;mod2        Num_Lock (0x4d)&#xA;mod3      &#xA;mod4        Super_L (0x85),  Super_R (0x86),  Super_L (0xce),  Hyper_L (0xcf)&#xA;mod5        ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c),  Mode_switch (0xcb)&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Delete the line starting with &quot;xmodmap: up to 4...&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Edit the modifier map so it looks like this. Put the word &quot;add &quot; at the beginning of each line and insert &quot;= &quot; after the modifier name. Then remove the codes in parentheses and commas. Also note that I have moved &lt;code&gt;Mode_switch&lt;/code&gt; from the &lt;code&gt;mod5&lt;/code&gt; line to &lt;code&gt;mod3&lt;/code&gt; line since it was empty. The modified table should look like this - actual contents will slightly vary in your case from those below (depends on your keyboard layout).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;add shift =      Shift_L  Shift_R&#xA;add lock  =      Caps_Lock&#xA;add control =    Control_L  Control_R&#xA;add mod1    =    Alt_L Meta_L Alt_R &#xA;add mod2    =    Num_Lock&#xA;add mod3    =    Mode_switch&#xA;add mod4    =    Super_L Super_R Super_L Hyper_L &#xA;add mod5    =    ISO_Level3_Shift&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remap physical mode-switch key. Add a line like this at the end (Replace Super_L with Super_R or Alt_R if required). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;keysym Super_L = Mode_switch&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remove the keyname (Super_L) from any modifier definition. For Super_L this means removing it from the mod4 line.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;add mod4    =    Super_R Hyper_L &#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now the right &quot;Super&quot; key will still act as a normal super key whereas the left key will have special properties.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now we need to remap the keys to produce different codes whether they are pressed while holding down Super_L or not.&#xA;Each line in our file beginning with &lt;code&gt;keycode&lt;/code&gt; specifies 4 keysyms for each key to be generated based on whether Mod1 (shift keys) and Mode switch keys are pressed.(&lt;a href=&quot;http://code.google.com/p/directvnc-rev/wiki/KeyboardMapping&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;!...........................................................................&#xA;!

If X does not find an existing xorg.conf it will attempt to generate one, and sometimes changes in the system or a change to the video driver will cause problems with the existing xorg.conf file. Also, this is an easy thing to try and easily reverted if it does not help.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Looking around on Google, it looks like the Radeon 5450 is a somewhat old card. Cards that are more than three years old or so often get rotated out of fglrx support. Sometimes the cards become unsupported by fglrx and picked up by the &quot;radeon&quot; open-source driver. Sometimes there is a lag in between these things happening and you are out in the cold.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;By &quot;uninstall the upstream one&quot; is meant to get rid of the driver you downloaded from ATI. ATI's drivers are notoriously unreliable. I see that the driver is provided in the form of a .run file. I don't see any uninstall instructions for it. You might have to parse the scripts contained in the file and go manually delete all the things it installed. I would open the file and look in it myself, but my net connection is too skinny for me to grab that 100MB file in a timely manner.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I strongly recommend that you try to use the &quot;radeon&quot; driver instead of fglrx.

Unfortunately we do not have any influence on how this data is stored (e.g. we cannot change the programs to (un)gzip the xml files when they are loaded/saved, they are provided by a 3rd party and we are required to use these programs by contract).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Since our hard disks are overflowing regularly I wonder whether there is such a thing like NTFS compression for Ubuntu/Linux for compressing these files transparently for the clients.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some more background:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Processing these files always means that they are read completely into memory, changed there and written back.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Only one client will access a directory of these files at a time so there are no concurrency and locking issues.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The server already has 4x 2TB data drives.

Basically this allows you to write scripts to set the state of Num Lock - see the &lt;a href=&quot;http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/en/man1/numlockx.1.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;numlockx man page&lt;/a&gt; for details.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Next we need to start delving into the fun of udev rules. First we need to find out how the keyboard is identified. You can do this by&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;ls /dev/input/by-id/&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This should give you some human readable file names (that are soft links to the not particularly readable true name). My keyboard was&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;/dev/input/by-id/usb-KINESIS_FREESTYLE_KB700_KB700_Kinesis_Freestyle-event-kbd&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So then we need to find out all the info about the keyboard. I did&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/input/by-id/usb-KINESIS_FREESTYLE_KB700_KB700_Kinesis_Freestyle-event-kbd)&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But insert your own path there of course. You'll get a lot of info, but you want to look at the first block that names the keyboard and has &lt;code&gt;SUBSYSTEMS==&quot;usb&quot;&lt;/code&gt;. (Rather than the USB controller or whatever). In my case that was:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;  looking at parent device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb3/3-2/3-2.3':&#xA;    KERNELS==&quot;3-2.3&quot;&#xA;    SUBSYSTEMS==&quot;usb&quot;&#xA;    DRIVERS==&quot;usb&quot;&#xA;    ATTRS{configuration}==&quot;&quot;&#xA;    ATTRS{bNumInterfaces}==&quot; 2&quot;&#xA;    ATTRS{bConfigurationValue}==&quot;1&quot;&#xA;    ATTRS{bmAttributes}==&quot;a0&quot;&#xA;    ATTRS{bMaxPower}==&quot; 50mA&quot;&#xA;    ATTRS{urbnum}==&quot;6284&quot;&#xA;    ATTRS{idVendor}==&quot;058f&quot;&#xA;    ATTRS{idProduct}==&quot;9410&quot;&#xA;    ATTRS{bcdDevice}==&quot;0122&quot;&#xA;    ATTRS{bDeviceClass}==&quot;00&quot;&#xA;    ATTRS{bDeviceSubClass}==&quot;00&quot;&#xA;    ATTRS{bDeviceProtocol}==&quot;00&quot;&#xA;    ATTRS{bNumConfigurations}==&quot;1&quot;&#xA;    ATTRS{bMaxPacketSize0}==&quot;8&quot;&#xA;    ATTRS{speed}==&quot;1.5&quot;&#xA;    ATTRS{busnum}==&quot;3&quot;&#xA;    ATTRS{devnum}==&quot;3&quot;&#xA;    ATTRS{devpath}==&quot;2.3&quot;&#xA;    ATTRS{version}==&quot; 1.10&quot;&#xA;    ATTRS{maxchild}==&quot;0&quot;&#xA;    ATTRS{quirks}==&quot;0x0&quot;&#xA;    ATTRS{avoid_reset_quirk}==&quot;0&quot;&#xA;    ATTRS{authorized}==&quot;1&quot;&#xA;    ATTRS{manufacturer}==&quot;KINESIS FREESTYLE KB700&quot;&#xA;    ATTRS{product}==&quot;KB700 Kinesis Freestyle&quot;&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So now we have enough information to write some rules. Use your favourite editor to create &lt;code&gt;/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules&lt;/code&gt; and put in:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;BUS==&quot;usb&quot;,ATTRS{product}==&quot;KB700 Kinesis Freestyle&quot;,ACTION==&quot;add&quot;,RUN+=&quot;/usr/bin/numlockx on&quot;&#xA;BUS==&quot;usb&quot;,ATTRS{product}==&quot;KB700 Kinesis Freestyle&quot;,ACTION==&quot;remove&quot;,RUN+=&quot;/usr/bin/numlockx off&quot;&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Again, put the name of your keyboard in here, and the ATTRS if it is different.

The video driver makes a hardware call to retrieve this data, via the video card / monitor connection.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Splitters (like KVMs) manipulate the path from the card to the monitor.  Some KVMs pass the EDID properly, others don't.  My guess is that your splitter is not allowing the EDID to be passed back.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Indeed, I would guess that the system call has a built-in assumption that only one EDID chunk is present on a given connector, so even if it was returning something, it probably wouldn't be what you wanted.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, while all monitors return EDID, some TVs don't, or return a corrupted EDID.  But since you tested it without the splitter and it worked correctly, I don't think this problem affects you.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Different monitors support different sets of resolutions and frequencies, but all monitors are required by the VESA Standard to support at least two:  640x480 and 800x600.  So when X doesn't know anything about the monitor connected to it, it falls back to those two resolutions.  That's why those are the only ones you see available.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Anyway, I think in this case you can't rely on EDID to get your monitors magically auto-configured.  Instead, you'll need to manually specify the data yourself.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you had specified your video driver or linked to your Xorg.0.log, I could give you more specific info.  The procedure varies depending on what video driver you're using.  If it is a KMS-enabled driver like -intel or -ati you have to specify it via the kernel.  If you have KMS turned off or are using a non-KMS driver, but the driver supports RANDR (e.g. -fglrx), you can add a modeline using the xrandr command line tool such as documented at the bottom of &lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution&lt;/a&gt;.  If you are using a non-KMS, non-RANDR driver such as -nvidia, it is controlled entirely in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf; in this latter case you'll need to look up the vertical and horizontal refresh rates for all the monitors (hopefully they're all close to the same ranges, else you're screwed), and then specify those via the HorizSync and VertRefresh options in xorg.conf.  You'll also need to add the resolution in the xorg.conf.  &lt;em&gt;Possibly&lt;/em&gt; you may need to construct a ModeLine as well, but I'll bet just the HorizSync and VertRefresh will be enough.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Good luck, and if you get stuck be sure to post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="913" LastActivityDate="2010-10-06T19:48:42.547" CommentCount="1" />

I need to be able to map my Windows Users to my Linux users without require AD.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The problem with using OpenLDAP is that it doesn't support Server 2008 and also I am not sharing anything &lt;strong&gt;from&lt;/strong&gt; Ubuntu.

It is a headless installation mainly used to run service type software and to do some network monitoring. It does not have any shares on the box, however connects to shares on the Windows Server 2008 machine using CIFS and FSTAB mounts. However I would like to switch to NFS because symlinks won't work when running RSYNC to backup the Ubuntu box for example.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" LastActivityDate="2010-10-11T16:01:42.663" Title="Ubuntu and Windows Server 2008 NFS" Tags="&lt;10.10&gt;&lt;windows&gt;&lt;nfs&gt;&lt;users&gt;" AnswerCount="2" />

First, I name a temporary file for holding the script where &lt;code&gt;$$&lt;/code&gt; is the process ID of the shell running this script. The &lt;code&gt;/tmp/something.$$&lt;/code&gt; metaphor is used in case two instances of this script are run at the same time, they won't try to use the same temporary file.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The variable &lt;code&gt;$SHELL&lt;/code&gt; is set to the name of the shell running the script. If you use /usr/bin/bash, presumably you'd like the mini-script to use it also. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;code&gt;&quot;$@&quot;&lt;/code&gt; is a shell idiom for &quot;interpolate all my arguments, quoting them if needed&quot;.

In order to build program &lt;em&gt;X.2&lt;/em&gt; you needed version &lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt; of library &lt;em&gt;A&lt;/em&gt; and version &lt;em&gt;Q&lt;/em&gt; of library &lt;em&gt;B&lt;/em&gt; and so on. Unfortunately, you also wanted program &lt;em&gt;Y&lt;/em&gt; which needed &lt;em&gt;A.M&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;B.F&lt;/em&gt; and if you were really unlucky &lt;em&gt;X.3&lt;/em&gt;. Two days later you crawl out of your lab and apply for a job arranging flowers because they have no interdependencies.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When I first started playing with Python, version 3 had been released and I naively thought that 3 was greater than 2.6 so it must be like 0.4 times better. After replacing all the &lt;code&gt;python&lt;/code&gt; binaries with 3.x I found that most of Ubuntu's interfaces were horribly broken as they expected &quot;python&quot; to mean version 2.6.5. True, the difference between Java &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/6u19-141078.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;6u18 and 6u19&lt;/a&gt; is pretty minor, until you hit a bugfix in 6u20 that happens to break ThatApplicationYouDependUpon.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The more prominent Linux distributions these days are built to specifically avoid this, and part of that is the necessary delay of certain features and revisions. Of note is that Maverick Meerkat (Ubuntu 10.10) does not include &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-10-10-maverick-changes.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Gnome version 3 as was hoped&lt;/a&gt; because it isn't complete, but other Ubuntu packages (e.g. Rhythmbox) probably lag behind their latest release also. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Just as the computer you buy today will never be quite as fast as the one you could buy next week, putting together the latest and greatest of everything is an impossible task. And as veterans of dependency wars can attest, even pulling together a subset of latest and greatest can be quite a challenge. This is part of the reason that Canonical decided to make their &lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Long Term Support&lt;/a&gt;releases: they most certainly don't have the latest anything, but they do work well as a system and will continue to for some time. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is often merit in older technology as it has had the bugs shaken out of it; ask NASA.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1078" LastActivityDate="2010-10-10T05:13:58.397" />

It took a long time, but I didn't lose any data in the process. The trickiest thing is that you do have to tackle any hardware incompatibilities that might have plagued each release. With 9.10 in particular I had major video problems that would black out my screen--making solving the problem pretty tricky! So in theory upgrading through several releases does work without data loss, but in practice it can be a real hassle.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can do a fresh install, though, without backing up to a separate hard drive (or losing your data) if you set up a separate partition on your hard drive for your /home folder. Then just do a fresh install of the operating system and choose the main partition for the OS installation during the setup process. Either during setup or afterward (using Gparted) you can mount the partition with all of your user data to the /user location again and you're ready to go. If you Google it there are quite a few good articles that walk you through the process.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of course, the actual software still needs to be installed again, even with a separate /home partition. But the trade-off is that your OS partition can be set up using a newer file system like ext-4 that will give you better performance. If you do have to re-install your applications, the new software centre makes it pretty easy and quick. Also, I'd recommend installing Ubuntu Tweak early in the process, since it gives you a nice quick interface for setting up common outside repositories (like medibuntu or the mozilla repos) that would otherwise involve some surfing around to find the ppa addresses.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="2762" LastEditorUserId="2762" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-10-10T05:54:55.183" LastActivityDate="2010-10-10T05:54:55.183" />

Dennis' answer about using dpkg-scanpackages works as well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've been doing this recently with apt-ftparchive. I like this approach since I find it very light weight. Here's annotated example of what I do:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# From my ~/.pbuilderrc file&#xA;&#xA;# Location of the dir where you keep pbuilder hook scripts.&#xA;HOOKDIR=&quot;/home/andrew/.pbuilder-hooks&quot;&#xA;&#xA;# Path to your local repo to be used as a mirror written as apt source line.&#xA;OTHERMIRROR=&quot;deb file:///home/andrew/pbuilder/local_repo ./&quot;&#xA;&#xA;# Path to your local repo.

The process of hibernation requires that all the data¹ in RAM be written out to the hard disc, in swap, which means that it's a good idea to have at least as much swap space as RAM.  If you don't need to hibernate the computer you won't need that much swap.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, the trick is that this swap space doesn't actually have to be a dedicated swap partition.  Like Windows, the kernel can use swap files on your regular filesystem², and they're just as fast as a swap partition.  It's much easier to add more swap with a swap file than to re-partition, though.  See the &lt;a href=&quot;https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#How%20do%20I%20add%20more%20swap?&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;FAQ&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;a href=&quot;http://askubuntu.com/questions/5929/how-big-should-i-make-my-swap-partition-netbook-with-2gb-ram/5933#5933&quot;&gt;this answer&lt;/a&gt; for instructions on how to add swap files.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, in short, don't worry about how much swap you need; if you need more, you can easily add it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;¹: This is not &lt;em&gt;quite&lt;/em&gt; true - before writing the data in RAM to swap, the kernel will remove from memory everything that it can.  This will generally include a lot of program code (because the kernel can just read it back from the disc) and all the disc cache, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;²: This capability is actually filesystem-dependent.  Most linux filesystems support having swap files on them - ext4, which is the default, certainly does.  The new btrfs filesystem is an exception, so if you're playing with that you'll need a swap partition.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="188" LastActivityDate="2010-10-11T09:57:20.780" />

I've always been a geek and that has drawn me to Linux in general over the past 10 years with some quick stints on Mandriva and then Fedora, none of them lasting longer than a week on my computer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Each time I'd load up the latest and greatest, see that everything was cool, have a fight with Amarok, play a game of Klondike and finally when I needed to &lt;em&gt;get something done&lt;/em&gt;, I'd drop back to Windows.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think it's very important you recognise that you perform tasks with your computer and if you don't plan ahead and see what you're going to be using (or find the workaround to see if/how you can keep using what you are now) you quickly find out that though it may look nice or have a nice feature, you haven't got a clue how to get your work done.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And then I became a professional ASP.NET developer. This halted my switchover for a couple of years. Mono was a wink in the milkman's eye and I really loved Visual Studio .NET 2002 (and 2003 and still love them today - they were great applications)... After I left that company, I found myself slowly spreading out over other technologies. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As a web developer (now freelance) I still had to deploy websites but I had the choice over what systems to use. I started a Dreamhost account for hosting various things (mostly media for my main ASP.NET written blog) but this gave me some exposure to the console. It wasn't long before I was writing fairly complicated bash scripts to automate things for me.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But just over three years ago, in the middle of all this and despite the Linux exposure, I declared myself &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://thepcspy.com/read/im_a_windows_enthusiast/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;a Windows enthusiast&lt;/a&gt;&quot;. I had a workflow that worked and I just didn't care to switch to something that delivered pretty poor driver support (as it still was back then, especially with the dodgy support for ATI graphics cards) and none of the applications I needed on a daily basis. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I was still developing in ASP.NET but I did keep wanting to switch. I'd boot a LiveCD and test it out for a few hours but while I was still using ASP.NET and a FakeRAID chip that didn't work under Linux, I still couldn't justify moving over completely. Eventually my PHP had improved enough to use it for developing sites so most of my new work was through that. This was also about the time that VirtualBox started up and VMWare's desktop virtualisation was also getting quite usable...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And some bits of Vista were &lt;a href=&quot;http://thepcspy.com/read/3_moments_in_vista_that_make_me_consider_linux/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;wearing me down&lt;/a&gt; and by autumn 2007, I changed my graphics to Nvidia and I was back at square one on my migration to Linux: &lt;a href=&quot;http://thepcspy.com/read/gutsy_youre_just_too_pretty/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Compiz blew my socks off&lt;/a&gt;. It was another silly &quot;oh noes thaz too pretteh&quot; migration that would have been doomed if it weren't for the pieces that had been put in place over the year:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;My workflow was now nearing platform independence&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I could run 3D things on my computer because I'd ripped out my ATI x800XT&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;My mass-storage was still an issue. If I wanted anything from it, I had to boot to windows, copy it onto a non-RAID drive and boot back into Linux...&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I found one application that I realised I kept coming back for: Amarok. It was miles ahead of anything available for Windows&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://thepcspy.com/read/4_windows_apps_i_cant_let_go/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;I still missed Windows&lt;/a&gt;.

Chrome is updated by Google directly, as they run the entire repository and update Chrome on their schedule. Since it doesn't need to be redistributable and open source, Chrome includes things that we can't ship in Ubuntu out of the box, like Flash and H264 support. (See the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ubuntu.com/project&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Ubuntu promise&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/chromium-browser&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Chromium&lt;/a&gt;, being open source, is available in the Ubuntu repositories.

There really aren't any proper &quot;releases&quot; made of Chromium, so Ubuntu developers base their build on what stable version of Chromium the stable Chrome build is based off of.

But first, here are a few points to learn before entering the beta:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A. Prior to test the Firefox 4 beta&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Firefox Sync&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you are using Firefox Sync (previously called Weave). It is integrated in the beta. So you do not need the add-on. What does it implies to early adopter? Some glitches that the user of the final release won't notice.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Mozilla needs to enhance the scalability of the Sync architecture, as this is going to be directly incorporated in the Firefox 4 release, the number of user is going to grow. So they change quite a few bit of the Sync architecture, that's why you probably saw an new update of the add-on if you're using it with the current stable release. Now this add-on is in version 1.5 (incompatible with add-on of earlier release, which means if you've updated this add-on on one of your Firefox, you have to do it on all the other).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As far as I know the current beta of Firefox (beta 6) is &quot;compatible&quot; with the Sync 1.4 protocol, so Sync will not work any longer with the beta if you have updated your add-on to the 1.5 release. However, as soon as beta 7 is out (should be days now), this will work.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On the other side, if you're still using the 1.4 version of the Sync add-on on your stable Firefox release, then it should work with the beta 6, and as soon as you upgrade to beta 7, it will migrate your Sync data to the new architecture. So if you want to still use Firefox 3.6 on other machine, you will have to upgrade the add-on.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you are definitively using Firefox 4 on a machine, you can uninstall the Firefox Sync plug-in, as it is not needed anymore.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Warnings&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is still a beta, so things don't work always. They are still numerous slowdown, site that don't work (e.g. one.ubuntu.com is partly broken, I cannot upload file, or publish them from the web interface).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;B. A generic way&lt;/strong&gt;, that work on all Linux distribution&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can either go to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/beta/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Firefox Beta page&lt;/a&gt; and download the latest beta. But this will download the 32bit version of Firefox, which is buggy on a 64bit system. Or you could go to &lt;a href=&quot;http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Firefox Repository page&lt;/a&gt; where you can find the link for the latest beta (currently 4.0b6) then choose linux-x86_64 for the 64bit version, then select your language or en_US for English. And there you can download the file ending in .bz2&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then you could create a directory where you're going to test this release of Firefox, unpack the downloaded package (I assume it is in your $HOME/Downloads folder) and launch it:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;cd $HOME&#xA;mkdir Apps&#xA;cd Apps&#xA;tar jxf ~/Downloads/firefox-4.0b*.tar.bz2&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To launch it, it's probably more interesting to create a &quot;Launcher&quot; (Gnome specific), an icon on your desktop to launch the beta. I guess there are similar steps for KDE. For this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Display your Desktop&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Right click and choose &lt;code&gt;Create launcher...&lt;/code&gt; from the popup menu&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Type &lt;code&gt;Firefox 4 beta&lt;/code&gt; for the name&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Next to &lt;code&gt;Command&lt;/code&gt; click on the &quot;Browse&quot; button, and browser through to the Apps -&gt; firefox and select &lt;code&gt;firefox&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Click on &lt;code&gt;OK&lt;/code&gt; and double-click the Launcher :-)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;C.

So I will post here only the relevant information regarding Firefox 4. Please do not use multiple methods. Pick one and stick with it or revert the changes before trying a different one. I recommend the manual installation method, since depending on the PPA you choose, you will also update Firefox 3.6 and other Mozilla products.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Since it is still a Beta release and there are some radical changes in this version, is recommended that you install it side-by-side with the default version and use a different &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.webgapps.org/firefox/profiles-and-backups&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;user profile&lt;/a&gt;, in order to avoid data loss.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Method #1 - Manual Download &amp;amp; Installation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First you need to download it form Mozilla [pick one only]:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/beta/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;latest &quot;stable&quot; beta release&lt;/a&gt; [32bit only]&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://nightly.mozilla.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;latest nightly builds&lt;/a&gt; [32bit and 64bit]&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The easiest way to install Firefox 4 downloaded from Mozilla is to use my extension &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.webgapps.org/addons/foxtester&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;FoxTester&lt;/a&gt;. It allows you to instal any number of different Firefox versions, without interfering with your default installation and user profile. Everything is done through Firefox context menu, without typing commands or even closing Firefox. Although this extension is not intended for upgrading Firefox, it also allows to make any version installation permanent.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you prefer to do it manually, then follow the instructions of method #1 from the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.webgapps.org/firefox/installing-other-versions&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Installing Other Versions&lt;/a&gt; tutorial. Basically, you will extract the downloaded file to your /home directory or the /opt and execute the firefox file inside it. There are also additional steps on that tutorial if you want to make it fully compatible with plugins.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Method #2 - Ubuntuzilla repository&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This method will only be available to 32bit users, after the release of the final version of Firefox 4.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Method #3 - Installing from PPA repositories&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Firefox 4 is currently available through &lt;a href=&quot;https://launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;ubuntu-mozilla-daily&lt;/a&gt; PPA repository (semi-official) and &lt;a href=&quot;http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1352580&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;SilverWave&lt;/a&gt; PPA repository (non-official). You need to add one of those ppa repositories to your sources list, then update and install Firefox 4.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To install from ubuntu-mozilla-daily on Karmic, Lucid or Maverick, run the following commands:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa&#xA;sudo apt-get update&#xA;sudo apt-get install firefox-4.0&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For additional info about PPA repositories see &lt;a href=&quot;http://askubuntu.com/questions/4983/what-are-ppas-and-how-do-i-use-them&quot;&gt;What are PPAs and how do I use them?&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To install from SilverWave PPA, see &lt;a href=&quot;http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1352580&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1352580&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Notes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;    The ubuntu-mozilla-daily ppa also upgrade your default Firefox installation with the latest testing version of Firefox 3.x and other Mozilla applications. So although the SilverWave PP is not official, it might be less troublesome to use it instead.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;When you install Firefox 4 using one of those repositories, a clone of your Firefox user profile is created under ~/.mozilla/firefox-4.0. So everything you do on Firefox 4 won't be saved on your default profile. This could cause confusion and apparent loss of data (bookmarks, passwords...) if you switch back and forth between Firefox 3.6 and Firefox 4 or when the last one becomes default and start using the default profile folder (i.e ~/.mozilla/firefox).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Add-on Compatibility&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;During the beta phase and to some extent after the final release of Firefox 4, most extensions and themes won't be compatible with it and thus not activated. Usually when you are testing a minor update version, you can disable compatibility check, to force extensions to be installed and activated. But is not so simple in this case, due to radical changes in the UI and the extension API of Firefox 4. So even with the compatibility check disable, several extensions won't work at all or could break other extensions and even Firefox.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you are using a different profile or make regular &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.webgapps.org/firefox/profiles-and-backups&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;backups&lt;/a&gt;, then you could use the &lt;a href=&quot;https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/15003/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Addon Compatibility Reporter&lt;/a&gt; extension, to disable the compatibility.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If something goes wrong and you can't even access the add-ons manager to disable the extensions, then &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.webgapps.org/firefox/extension-optimization&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;start Firefox in safe mode and disable all extensions&lt;/a&gt;. After starting Firefox in safe mode, you can enable only the compatible ones.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It is strongly advised to start the &quot;Error Console&quot; (CTRL+SHIFT+J) while using Firefox with extensions that are incompatible. Disable any extension that cause an error. You might have to enable only the error report to avoid lots of css messages from web sites.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Optimization&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Although Firefox 4 is a lot faster than Firefox 3.6, is always a good idea to keep it fast by optimizing databases and tweaking some preferences.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.webgapps.org/firefox/database-optimization&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Database Optimization&lt;/a&gt;: improves startup time and performance considerably, specially on features like the awesome bar suggestions or bookmark management.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.webgapps.org/firefox/preferences-tweaks&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Preferences Tweaks&lt;/a&gt;: improves network speed, page rendering, memory usage and fixes some common issues.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/67651/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;BarTab&lt;/a&gt;: this nice extension allows to prevent tabs from loading the page content until they are needed. So if you usually start Firefox with several tabs, this will save memory space and improve startup time and responsiveness.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6371/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Better Cache&lt;/a&gt;: this extension allows to better control how Firefox handle the content cache, allowing to avoid constantly reloading pages and elements, thus reducing page display time considerably. Make sure you read the manual, because you might prevent sites that need to constantly reloaded from displaying new content (works with compatibility disabled).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Customization&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The very anticipated new UI hasn't been released for Linux yet. So, Firefox 4 still looks very similar to 3.6, except for a few changes, like for example the ability to place tabs on top [View &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Toolbars &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Tabs on Top]. Nevertheless, you can change a lot of things as usual, using the built-in options, themes, scripts, extensions or changing the userChrome.css.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="2950" LastEditorUserId="2950" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2011-01-04T22:54:06.057" LastActivityDate="2011-01-04T22:54:06.057" />

Audio files (.ogg, .mp3 etc.) have a feature called tags. Tags are small pieces of text that describe the audio file they are in. Examples of tag types are: 'album', 'artist' and 'genre'. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When you import files into your library, Rhythmbox extracts these tags, as well as the location of the file, into its database. It then uses the database to provide the interface that you can use to browse, search and play music. It also allows you to edit the tags in files. Tags replace the semantics of the underlying file hierarchy.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your default music location is there for when you rip CDs. CDs don't contain tag information so Rhythmbox looks them up online and then uses your preferences to create the music files on your disk with your preferred naming scheme.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is the behaviour of most music managers.

Assume you want to install a new service (daemon) on your machine; this is relatively new and you need to read about it and how to configure it to your needs.  You will end up browsing the web a lot to find information, example configs, etc., maybe have some IRC chat to ask for more info -- none of this requires &lt;code&gt;root&lt;/code&gt; powers! In the end, you only need privileged access for two operations:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;install the new program (i.e., &lt;code&gt;sudo apt-get install ...&lt;/code&gt;), and &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;edit the default configuration&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A commonly accepted principle in computer security is &lt;em&gt;always use the least possible privilege level to perform an operation.&lt;/em&gt; -- this reduces the risk that something bad happens because of bugs in the software or errors from the operator. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The Ubuntu default setup goes in this direction; if you were using a &lt;code&gt;root&lt;/code&gt; login, instead, you would have ended up surfing the internet, doing IRC (and possibly all the other stuff that one does concurrently) from the &lt;code&gt;root&lt;/code&gt; account, thus needlessly exposing the system to a threat.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update:&lt;/strong&gt; For your compiler example, I would proceed this way:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Login to the node via SSH &lt;em&gt;as your regular user&lt;/em&gt;, and from another&#xA;Ubuntu or GNU/Linux node where you have a graphical X11 display&#xA;running.

Each (pseudo)-file provided access to the memory of the process, e.g., reading byte number 0x1234 from the file gave you the contents of address 0x1234 in the process's virtual memory. This interface was used by commands such as &lt;code&gt;ps&lt;/code&gt; (the original process information viewer) and debuggers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Subsequent variants of Unix copied the principle, but not the details. For example, on Linux, there is one directory per process, containing various information in a readable form. For example &lt;code&gt;/proc/1/cwd&lt;/code&gt; is a symbolic link to the current working directory of process 1, and &lt;code&gt;/proc/1/cmdline&lt;/code&gt; is a file containing the command line arguments.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Because it was there, Linux also used &lt;code&gt;/proc&lt;/code&gt; to provide system information, such as &lt;code&gt;/proc/cpuinfo&lt;/code&gt; containing information about the CPU (microprocessor) and &lt;code&gt;/proc/bus/usb/&lt;/code&gt; containing information about USB devices. The documentation of &lt;code&gt;/proc&lt;/code&gt; is in the kernel documentation in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;filesystems/proc.txt&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Later, &lt;code&gt;/sys&lt;/code&gt; (the &lt;code&gt;sysfs&lt;/code&gt; filesystem) came to provide information about the kernel. For example, there is information about USB devices under &lt;code&gt;/sys/bus/usb&lt;/code&gt; (in a different format from &lt;code&gt;/proc/bus/usb&lt;/code&gt;), and information about kernel modules (as well as interfaces to control some modules) under &lt;code&gt;/sys/modules&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note that &lt;code&gt;/proc/sys&lt;/code&gt; is not the same thing as &lt;code&gt;/sys&lt;/code&gt;. &lt;code&gt;/proc/sys&lt;/code&gt; shows a specific set of runtime-configurable kernel parameters called &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sysctl/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;sysctl parameters&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You will find more historical and current information &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procfs&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;about &lt;code&gt;/proc&lt;/code&gt; on Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;¹ &lt;sub&gt;or more precisely, the &lt;code&gt;proc&lt;/code&gt; filesystem, which can be mounted in other locations (but not having it available at &lt;code&gt;/proc&lt;/code&gt; will break a lot of programs).&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1059" LastActivityDate="2010-10-13T20:38:55.777" />

This is has less to do with the 64-bit data width, but with the availability of 16 over 8 common CPU registers on the whole instruction set. The disadvantage of wasting more memory for management and larger pointers is thereby mostly leveled out.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The practical problem: not everyone has a AMD64 compatible CPU. Promoting 64-bit over the standard i686 version would lead to more user frustration. Therefore for the next few years, it's less confusing to present the 32-bit version to the average user. It's not exactly a problem for anyone in the know, since the 64-bit version is readily available. And we amd64 users don't have any disadvantage from that situation, except for the initial download. All packages are available in both architectures.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Under the circumstances the Ubuntu download page looks okay to me. It says &quot;32 bit (recommended)&quot;, but that &quot;recommended&quot; translates to &quot;less issues, if you don't know all the technical details of your computer&quot;. For the netbook edition download page, there isn't even the choice, because some intel atom cpus are 32-bit only even in 2010!&lt;br&gt;&#xA;So in conclusion, I think eschewing the compatiblity problems is still necessary. However, I agree that there should be at least a shiny footnote along the lines that -64 is faster than -32, and recommended IF (BUT ONLY IF) the target system supports it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="3357" LastActivityDate="2010-10-14T08:30:49.400" CommentCount="1" />

I usually prefer to leave my external hard drives plugged into my computer, then have them mount automatically when I start everything up.  However, there's a function called udev that runs on boot that defines your attached hardware to the hardware abstraction layer.  And it more or less assigns a device identifier based on the order it sees your external hard drives which can change from boot to boot.  Usually the first one it sees it assigns to &lt;code&gt;/dev/sdb1&lt;/code&gt;, the second to &lt;code&gt;/dev/sdc1&lt;/code&gt;, the third to &lt;code&gt;/dev/sdd1&lt;/code&gt;, etc.  If you only had one external hard drive it would always pick up the &lt;code&gt;/dev/sdb1&lt;/code&gt; identifier, and you'd make an &lt;code&gt;/etc/fstab&lt;/code&gt; entry to automount it and be done with it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The key to making sure udev always assigns the same device identifier to the same device is to define a udev rule to do that based on the serial number of the device.  And the way to do that is as root, create a new rule file in &lt;code&gt;/etc/udev/rules.d&lt;/code&gt;.  Within that directory create a file called &lt;code&gt;10-local.rules&lt;/code&gt;, (the 10 ensures that it gets executed early on).  Here's what mine looks like:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;SUBSYSTEM==&quot;block&quot;,SUBSYSTEMS==&quot;usb&quot;,ATTRS{serial}==&quot;2GEV4BXH&quot;,NAME=&quot;usb2&quot;&#xA;SUBSYSTEM==&quot;block&quot;,SUBSYSTEMS==&quot;usb&quot;,ATTRS{serial}==&quot;2GEV4EE6&quot;,NAME=&quot;usb3&quot;&#xA;SUBSYSTEM==&quot;block&quot;,SUBSYSTEMS==&quot;usb&quot;,ATTRS{serial}==&quot;2GEWMKA0&quot;,NAME=&quot;usb4&quot;&#xA;SUBSYSTEM==&quot;block&quot;,SUBSYSTEMS==&quot;usb&quot;,ATTRS{serial}==&quot;2GEX10PK&quot;,NAME=&quot;usb5&quot;&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To get the serial numbers, I just read them off the actual hard drive itself.  Each line of the rule basically says, if the device is a block, and a usb, and has a serial number of XXXX, then asign it this name.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then I know every time I boot, my 4 attached hard drives will always be assigned the same device identifier, &lt;code&gt;/dev/usb2&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;/dev/usb3&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;/dev/usb4&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;/dev/usb5&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once that's done, it's easy to edit the &lt;code&gt;/etc/fstab&lt;/code&gt; file and add the mount commands for the drives, here's relevant lines from mine:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;/dev/usb2   /media/usb2 ntfs    rw,auto 0   0&#xA;/dev/usb3   /media/usb3 ntfs    rw,auto 0   0&#xA;/dev/usb4   /media/usb4 ntfs    rw,auto 0   0&#xA;/dev/usb5   /media/usb5 ntfs    rw,auto 0   0&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And when my system boots, everything is in the right place, mounted and ready to use...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;woodwose@woodwose-server:~$ df -h&#xA;&#xA;Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on&#xA;&#xA;/dev/sda1              72G   28G   40G  41% /&#xA;none                  493M  436K  493M   1% /dev&#xA;none                  497M  1.1M  496M   1% /dev/shm&#xA;none                  497M  340K  497M   1% /var/run&#xA;none                  497M     0  497M   0% /var/lock&#xA;none                  497M     0  497M   0% /lib/init/rw&#xA;/dev/usb4             1.4T 1023G  375G  74% /media/usb4&#xA;/dev/usb2             1.4T  1.1T  300G  79% /media/usb2&#xA;/dev/usb5             1.4T  1.3T   73G  95% /media/usb5&#xA;/dev/usb3             1.4T  1.3T   93G  94% /media/usb3&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The order in which these usb devices are listed changes, because there's no guarantee that OS is going to find them in the same order every time, but since you control what device identifier is assigned to each device based on something that doesn't change, ie the serial number of the device, you can always automount the same device to the same mount point on startup.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And since your smb shares are based on the mount point, you also manage to share out the same files on the same share names consistently as well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I hope that helps you.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="4017" LastEditorUserId="235" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-10-15T00:36:00.783" LastActivityDate="2010-10-15T00:36:00.783" CommentCount="1" />

The goal of the project is to create a high quality first person shooter that can be played freely across all platforms in one package: PC, Mac, and can be even included in Linux distributions. The game is entirely open source, with the sources of the engine, gamecode, map files, and compiling tools, all included with the download, all under the GPL license.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The gameplay is deathmatch with the most excessive possible speeds and weapons, giving incredibly intense fast paced action. Along with deathmatch, there are multiple gamemodes such as team deathmatch, capture the flag, domination, and many mutators and weapon options like rocket arena and instagib. The user can fight through the single player campaign, going through over 20 levels, or play online with our server browser.&lt;/Blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/956op.jpgBlockquote&quot; alt=&quot;alt text&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1425" LastEditorUserId="41" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-10-15T21:41:22.247" LastActivityDate="2010-10-15T21:41:22.247" CommunityOwnedDate="2010-10-15T09:27:05.637" />

Players can choose from 2 unique races, aliens and humans. Players on both teams are able to build working structures in-game like an RTS. These structures provide many functions, the most important being spawning. The designated builders must ensure there are spawn structures or other players will not be able to rejoin the game after death. Other structures provide automated base defense (to some degree), healing functions and much more...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Player advancement is different depending on which team you are on. As a human, players are rewarded with credits for each alien kill. These credits may be used to purchase new weapons and upgrades from the &quot;Armoury&quot;. The alien team advances quite differently. Upon killing a human foe, the alien is able to evolve into a new class. The more kills gained the more powerful the classes available.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The overall objective behind Tremulous is to eliminate the opposing team. This is achieved by not only killing the opposing players but also removing their ability to respawn by destroying their spawn structures.&lt;/Blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/seUtn.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;alt text&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1425" LastEditorUserId="41" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-10-15T21:40:51.357" LastActivityDate="2010-10-15T21:40:51.357" CommunityOwnedDate="2010-10-15T09:32:54.323" />

The external one is, of course, way bigger than the integrated one.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;So I've been wondering, how do you guys set up your Ubuntu for two monitors? The thing is, I'm quite often on the move without my second screen, so I can't really put panels to the second one, as those would be cramped into the first one, once I unplug the second one, right? Also, same goes for windows I arranged and resized on the big screen.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Another point would be the wallpaper. At the moment, I'm using a wallpaper that's 1920x1980 (I use 1920x1080 and 1440x900 in a vertical alignment) and set the display mode to &quot;stretch&quot;, so it covers both desktops. Any easier methods? Don't want to doctor around my wallpapers with gimp all the time.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;As to window window management, I'm currently using compiz and docky. Docky is placed on the top side of the bottom (laptop) monitor so it stays where it was even when the top monitor isn't plugged in. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;what about window placement? My current setup involves using Google Chrome on the top monitor, taking up half of my screen width and being used for regular browsing. Next to it is another Google Chrome window, with the usual &quot;app tabs&quot; of GMail, Facebook, Google Reader and Twitter. Auxilliary stuff goes to the bottom monitor.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, how are you guys using your dual monitor setup? Any awesome programs I'm missing out on?

For example, sometimes the USB device will be assigned /dev/sda1, other times /dev/sdb1. This depends on what order you connect USB devices, and where (which USB slot) you use to connect. This can be a major aggravation as you must identify the device before you can mount it. fstab does not work well if the device name keeps changing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To list your devices, first put connect your USB device (it does not need to be mounted).&#xA;By volume label:&#xA;Code:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;ls /dev/disk/by-label -lah&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;By id:&#xA;Code:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;ls /dev/disk/by-id -lah&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;By uuid:&#xA;Code:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;ls /dev/disk/by-uuid -lah&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;IMO, LABEL is easiest to use as you can set a label and it is human readable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The format to use instead of the device name in the fstab file is:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;LABEL= (Where  is the volume label name, ex. &quot;data&quot;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;UUID= (Where  is some alphanumeric (hex) like fab05680-eb08-4420-959a-ff915cdfcb44).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Again, IMO, using a label has a strong advantage with removable media (flash drives).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;See How to use Labels below.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For udev: udev does the same thing as LABEL, but I find it more complicated.&#xA;See How to udev for a very nice how to on udev.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mount point.&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;This is where the partition is mounted or accessed within the &quot;tree&quot; (ie /mnt/hda1).&#xA;You can use any name you like.&#xA;In general&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;/mnt Typically used for fixed hard drives HD/SCSI.

This automatically implies noexec, nosuid,nodev unless overridden.&#xA;* nouser - Only permit root to mount the filesystem. This is also a default setting.&#xA;* defaults - Use default settings. Equivalent to rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser, async.&#xA;* _netdev - Used for network shares (nfs, samba, sshfs, etc), mounting the network share is delayed until after the boot process brings up the network (otherwise the mount will fail as the network is not up).&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dump&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;Dump: Dump field sets whether the backup utility dump will backup file system.

A MIME type is a description of the content of the file. &lt;code&gt;fred&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;fred.txt&lt;/code&gt; would both have a MIME type of &lt;code&gt;text/plain&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;File managers, such as nautilus use this MIME type to know which program to open the file with. In a terminal, the &lt;code&gt;xdg-open&lt;/code&gt; command does the same thing. However, this is user space level not operating system level.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Files don't actually contain this mime type, but the programs that open them use various methods to work out what this MIME type is. Some rely only on file extension, but most use a mixture of techniques including looking at the data at the beginning of the file.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If this part of the file only contains bytes that can be represented as ascii characters, it is safe to assume it is a text file. If then the extension is something like .html, the program assumes it is a HTML page and so opens it with a web browser. The same thing works with binary file formats. For example, I know that the bitmap file format begins with 'BMP' in ascii then binary data representing the image.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Put simply, Linux programs make an educated guess based upon the data in a file and its file extension. This may not sound very reliable but the algorithms used are more complicated than the examples I have given and are actually really accurate.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.kde.org/documentation/library/kdeqt/kde3arch/mime.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;This documentation&lt;/a&gt; has a more technical overview of how MIME types are used in KDE programs. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="667" LastActivityDate="2010-10-15T14:34:07.473" />

Even then it's probably not enough for laptop usage.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;From the &lt;a href=&quot;http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/en/man5/nss_ldap.5.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;nss_ldap man page&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;nss_initgroups_ignoreusers &amp;lt;user1,user2,...,userN&amp;gt;&#xA;          This option directs the nss_ldap implementation of initgroups(3)&#xA;          to return NSS_STATUS_NOTFOUND if called with a listed  users  as&#xA;          its argument.&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So basically LDAP pretends it doesn't know those users without even contacting the master server, so the NSS falls back on the local users and the system works fine.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One last idea is that if you're willing to spend the time learning LDAP, you could instead learn some basic &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puppet_%28software%29&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;puppet&lt;/a&gt; and use that to keep all your users the same across all systems - see &lt;a href=&quot;http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/User_And_Homedir_Recipe_Patterns&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this puppet recipe&lt;/a&gt; for example.

However, currently, that bug has not been resolved.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is another way to hide files from appearing in nautilus. If you create a file called &lt;code&gt;.hidden&lt;/code&gt; inside of a directory, any filename listed in the file will not be displayed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For example, below is a .hidden file that I created. This file will hide any files or folders named &lt;code&gt;b&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;e&lt;/code&gt; located in the same directory as the .hidden file.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/Qfc6L.png&quot; alt=&quot;Example .hidden File&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Below is a screenshot of the folder that contains the .hidden file. Note that you only see three files: &lt;code&gt;a&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;c&lt;/code&gt;, and &lt;code&gt;f&lt;/code&gt;. You do not see the .hidden file due to the '.' at the beginning of its name.&#xA;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/yUypG.png&quot; alt=&quot;Example Folder&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The screenshot below is of the same folder as before. However, this time, I hit &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;H&lt;/kbd&gt; to cause nautilus to display hidden files and folders. Notice how there are several additional files that show up. You now see several files that were previously hidden due to having names that began with a '.'. There are also now files called 'b' and 'e', which although not having names beginning with a '.', were hidden due to being listed in the .hidden file.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/WVEKs.png&quot; alt=&quot;Example Folders With Hidden Files Visible&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Files mentioned in the .hidden file will only be hidden in nautilus. Tools like &lt;code&gt;ls&lt;/code&gt; will still display them. The .hidden file is also not recursive. It only affects files in the same directory as the .hidden file is in.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some people on the forum have gone ahead and created scripts for nautilus that make it easier to add files to the .hidden file.

An important note is that I did this on a system where I boot from a separate partition that is not part of the LVM. So the LVM is simply for storage and does not have any of the files needed by the OS to boot. Also this is to create the appearance of one large drive, although a similar technique can be used to create the appearance of multiple drives (well partitions really). It is a very selfish brain dump since the other guides do not all that complete to me. So I hope it can help others.&#xA;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&#xA;These directions are essentially from the &lt;a href=&quot;https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpLVM-WithoutACleanInstall&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;link&lt;/a&gt; provided by Murat Gunes with some more information I gathered from &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.timc3.com/2006/03/19/lvm2-and-adding-disks/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. &#xA;&lt;HR&gt;&#xA;I started with a disk that I did not have anything on it that I needed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;First you need to create a partition as Linux LVM. You can use fdisk to do this. You can see all the drives Ubuntu sees and how they are listed by running: &lt;code&gt;sudo fdisk -l&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The first line in each section should give you enough information to identify your drive. It will look like:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The part that matters is &lt;code&gt;/dev/sda&lt;/code&gt;. Now run: &lt;code&gt;sudo fdisk /dev/sda&lt;/code&gt;. You will see:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Command (m for help):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Type &lt;code&gt;p&lt;/code&gt; to list the partitions on your drive. You need to delete the partitions that you want to make part of the LVM. So type &lt;code&gt;d&lt;/code&gt; to delete. If the drive only has one partition it will remove it (well flag it for removal, it does not happen until we tell it to do it). Otherwise I think (mine only had one) it asks you to enter the number of the one you want to delete. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now you need to create the new parition. Type &lt;code&gt;n&lt;/code&gt; for new. It asks whether extended or primary. Type &lt;code&gt;p&lt;/code&gt; for primary. It asks for partition number, type 1. For first cylinder and last cylinder just leave them blank to use the defaults.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now you need to set it to Linux LVM. Type &lt;code&gt;t&lt;/code&gt;. It asks for a hex code, use &lt;code&gt;8e&lt;/code&gt; for the Linux LVM. You shoule see something like:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Changed system type of partition 1 to 8e (Linux LVM)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally type &lt;code&gt;w&lt;/code&gt; to write out the changes to the disk.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Now we need to instal LVM so run &lt;code&gt;sudo apt-get install lvm2&lt;/code&gt; to install it.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I am gonna be honest and say I am not sure what this step does but the other directions said to do &lt;code&gt;modprobe dm-mod&lt;/code&gt; to Load the LVM Module. I did not get any errors so I figure it worked.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;We need to edit the /etc/modules file to this module loads on boot. Do &lt;code&gt;sudo nano /etc/modules&lt;/code&gt; to open it up to edit. Add &lt;code&gt;dm-mod&lt;/code&gt; to the list of items. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;We also want to edit the lvm configuration to update the filter so it does not take to long to scan (I think that is why anyway). So do &lt;code&gt;sudo nano -w /etc/lvm/lvm.conf&lt;/code&gt; and change the line with:&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;filter = [ &quot;a/.*/&quot; ]&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;to be:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;filter = [ &quot;a|/dev/hd[ab]|&quot;, &quot;r/.*/&quot; ]&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Now we need to set up the first LVM. Do &lt;code&gt;sudo vgscan&lt;/code&gt;. You should see something like:&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Reading all physical volumes.  This may take a while...&lt;BR/&gt;No volume groups found&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Just in case there are any volume groups already set up run &lt;code&gt;sudo vgchange -a y&lt;/code&gt; to make them available.&#xA; - Now run &lt;code&gt;sudo pvcreate /dev/sda1&lt;/code&gt; to set up the partition.&#xA; - Now run &lt;code&gt;sudo vgcreate media /dev/sda1&lt;/code&gt; replacing media with the name you want the partition to be labeled as.&#xA; - Now run &lt;code&gt;sudo lvcreate -l100%FREE -nvolume media&lt;/code&gt; replacing volume with the name you want it to be clled. This will use all the free space available in the partition.&#xA; - Now we need to format the volume so for ext4 you would do &lt;code&gt;sudo mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/media/volume&lt;/code&gt;.&#xA; - Make the directory you want to mount the volume at. I did &lt;code&gt;sudo mkdir /mnt/media&lt;/code&gt;.&#xA; - Mount the volume by doing &lt;code&gt;sudo mount /dev/media/volume /mnt/media&lt;/code&gt;. Now this is only for this session. When you reboot it will not be remounted automatically. To do that we need to edit &lt;code&gt;\etc\fstab&lt;/code&gt; file. To do this add &lt;code&gt;sudo nano \etc\fstab&lt;/code&gt; and add the line:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;/dev/media/volume        /mnt/media       ext4    defaults        0       1&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At this point you could start adding files to the disk, so if you need to clear other disks you want to add you could copy them on here.&#xA;&lt;HR&gt;&#xA;I separated this out since it is adding a another drive to your volume. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;So follow the steps in the first bullet again but for this drive.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Now if the drive name is &lt;code&gt;\dev\sdb1&lt;/code&gt; then do &lt;code&gt;sudo vgextend media /dev/sdb1&lt;/code&gt; to add it to the volume.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Now we need to unmount the volume. To do this do &lt;code&gt;sudo umount /dev/media/volume&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Now you can see the stats on your volume now by running &lt;code&gt;sudo vgdisplay&lt;/code&gt;. The important part is &lt;code&gt;Free  PE / Size&lt;/code&gt;. You need to know how much space you can add to the volume for the next step.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;So if you had 150 Gb of space you would do &lt;code&gt;sudo lvextend -L+150G /dev/media/volume&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Now run &lt;code&gt;sudo e2fsck -f /dev/media/volume&lt;/code&gt; to check the filesystem.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Now run &lt;code&gt;sudo resize2fs /dev/media/volume&lt;/code&gt; to resize everything.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;You can run the stats again and verify that &lt;code&gt;Free PE / Size&lt;/code&gt; has dropped to what you expect.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Remount the volume by doing &lt;code&gt;sudo mount /dev/media/volume /mnt/media&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Rinse and repeat for any other drives.&#xA;&lt;HR&gt;&#xA;Also something that I found helpful was I had files I needed to copy off of disks to the LVM I created before I added that disk. So I used &lt;code&gt;cp -r -v&lt;/code&gt; so that it would recursively copy files and use the verbose output so I know what it was doing. An example of the full command would be:&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;cp -r -v /mnt/temp/Movies /mnt/shared/media&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Where &lt;code&gt;/mnt/temp/Movies&lt;/code&gt; is the folder you want to copy from.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="2488" LastActivityDate="2010-10-17T02:10:03.310" />

(Consult the &lt;a href=&quot;http://man-wiki.net/index.php/1x%3axvkbd&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;xvbkd man&#xA;page&lt;/a&gt; for more information.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bind this shortcut to any key you want.  Note that, to bind a&#xA;shortcut to a &lt;em&gt;modifier&lt;/em&gt; key (i.e., one that is only meaningful in&#xA;combination with another key, for instance &lt;em&gt;Shift&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;Alt&lt;/em&gt;) you&#xA;need to deprive it of its modifier status.  For example, before&#xA;binding &lt;em&gt;right-Control&lt;/em&gt;, you need to issue this command in a&#xA;terminal: &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;xmodmap -e 'remove control = Control_R'&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;(See &lt;a href=&quot;http://askubuntu.com/questions/7715/can-i-use-only-the-super-key-as-a-shortcut&quot;&gt;this other AskUbuntu question&lt;/a&gt; for another way to bind&#xA;modifier keys.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note: the xmodmap line above will only have effect until next reboot/logout. To make it persistent, you would have to either put that line into the &lt;code&gt;~/.gnomerc&lt;/code&gt; file, or add &lt;code&gt;remove control = Control_R&lt;/code&gt; to the &lt;code&gt;~/.Xmodmap&lt;/code&gt; file. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="325" LastEditorUserId="325" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-10-19T09:45:28.393" LastActivityDate="2010-10-19T09:45:28.393" CommentCount="7" />

There are a few things you&#xA;might want to consider when choosing a send-only MTA:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;whether it can queue e-mails for later delivery in case of a&#xA;failure: IIRC, only &lt;code&gt;nullmailer&lt;/code&gt; can do this.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;whether it will replace the system mail delivery agent (look for a&#xA;line &lt;code&gt;Provides: mail-transport-agent&lt;/code&gt; in the output of &lt;code&gt;apt-cache&#xA;show package&lt;/code&gt;).  If it does, then all mail originating from the&#xA;system (including reports from cron jobs, popularity statistics,&#xA;etc.) will be handled by the MTA you install: if you do not set up&#xA;correct mail aliases for &lt;em&gt;root&lt;/em&gt; and other users, the email might&#xA;end up delivered at the wrong address (typically, some sysadmin at&#xA;your ISP).  Currently, packages &lt;code&gt;nullmailer&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;esmtp-run&lt;/code&gt; (but not&#xA;&lt;code&gt;esmtp&lt;/code&gt;) and &lt;code&gt;ssmtp&lt;/code&gt; fall into this category.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;All send-only MTAs will just forward your email to another server&#xA;(called &quot;relay host&quot; or &quot;smarthost&quot;; typically it's your ISP's SMTP&#xA;server) and then let it handle all the details of real Internet&#xA;mail delivery.  You need to figure out whether there are any&#xA;special requirements for connecting to the ISP server (e.g., some&#xA;kind of authentication or TLS) and choose an MTA that supports the&#xA;required features (for instance, &lt;code&gt;ssmtp&lt;/code&gt; does not support any kind&#xA;of authentication or SSL/TLS).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Fully-fledged mail servers include &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.exim.org&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;exim&lt;/a&gt;,&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.postfix.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;postfix&lt;/a&gt;, and&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sendmail&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;sendmail&lt;/a&gt;.  The&#xA;post-installation installation script for Debian/Ubuntu will do a&#xA;great job of producing a working configuration for some common setup&#xA;(delivery of mail to the local system only; sending email through a&#xA;&quot;smarthost&quot; -- i.e., a mail server you funnel all your emails&#xA;through, typically your ISP's SMTP host; internet site with full&#xA;inbound and outbound connectivity).  IMHO, postfix is the easiest to&#xA;run and configure, but since it's so capable, its configuration manual&#xA;is way longer than any of the send-only MTAs.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In addition, the &lt;em&gt;real&lt;/em&gt; risk with setting up a mail server is that, if&#xA;you make a mistake in the local configuration, you end up with mail&#xA;delivered to the wrong place (read: lost) or &lt;em&gt;-worse-&lt;/em&gt; with an&#xA;open-relay system that can be used by spammers (and, trust me, they&#xA;can find an open relay before you realize your server is one).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My advice would be then to start with a send-only MTA and then&#xA;upgrade to a full mail server only if you see the need for it (which&#xA;is not the case if you just want to send emails to your GMail&#xA;address). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="325" LastEditorUserId="325" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-10-18T13:25:30.057" LastActivityDate="2010-10-18T13:25:30.057" CommentCount="3" />

This company is a for-profit company, supposed to make money by contributing/supporting Ubuntu. Since Ubuntu is free, they obviously need to find other means of making money. And this is where the problem lies : in order to make money, they plan to add new services/features that will not be part of Ubuntu, but sold alongside it.&#xA;Ubuntu One is an example.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What is debated here is their way to achive that : by forcing evey contributor to give up their freedom in licencing model, and let canonical &quot;own&quot; everything contributed. This giving up of freedom is an ethical problem. It goes against the &quot;mind&quot; of the free software licences. And could break the free spirit of Ubuntu itself.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think the main issue is a question that we can't answer now: how much of Ubuntu will stay &quot;free&quot; as it is claimed, and how much will be optional services sold by canonical ?&#xA;If more and more &quot;super-features&quot; are being added as paying options, you could argue that Ubuntu is less free than it should... Especially if those features are proprietary software (lacking even the &quot;free-as-in-speach&quot; side of the &quot;free&quot; meaning).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Right now, I think Canonical is still doing its job, and I still appreciate it. Ubuntu is a really solid and user-oriented distribution, and I won't change because of this article. But that's a personal statement, and since I'm not a defenser of the free software, it cannot be seen as &quot;the&quot; answer to the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Moreover, I really don't have a crystal ball to look at the future :-) In some years from now, maybe I will change my mind and start using something else because Canonical has been pushing too far their commitment for profitability...

If you want to change the read permissions: do the following:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Say you have a file \home\user\file.txt, which has normal permissions. If you execute&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt; cd /home/user&#xA; ls -l file.txt&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;you'll see something like&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt; -rw-r--r-- 1 user group  45655 2010-01-16 17:21 file.txt&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This means:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;rw = read and write permissions for the user &quot;user&quot;,&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;r = read permissions for the group &quot;group&quot;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;r = read permissions for anybody else.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The default group is the group which only has &quot;user&quot; as a member. So you only need to change the r permission for anybody else, do it as following:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt; cd /home/user&#xA; chmod o-r file.txt&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;chmod = change modifiers, change the permissions&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;o = all the others (not the user and not in the group)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;-r = delete the read permission&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you now execute&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;ls -l file.txt&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;you should see&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;-rw-r----- 1 user group  45655 2010-01-16 17:21 file.txt&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So the last 'r' is deleted. You may use wildcards in your command like &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;chmod o-r f*&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;will change all files that start with 'f'.

You should not be able to notice any difference under normal circumstances. The problem becomes more evident if you have little memory and use swap a lot or if your windows partition is very fragmented. It should be still far faster than under a typical VM or LiveCD.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The filesystem is less reliable than in a real installation. This is because you have 2 filesystems nested within each other which makes it more vulnerable than ntfs or ext3 taken individually. This can be an issue if you hard reboot (unplugging the power). Hard reboots are never ever a good idea, but even less so in wubi. We have taken some measures to minimize the risk (and will add a couple of tricks to next build), so that hard reboots can be better tolerated, but the rule of thumb is: do not hard reboot. In linux there are alt+sysrq key combinations if you get stack for any reason. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hibernation / Suspend does not work properly. We are looking into this with the help of some ubuntu kernel devs. Either we'll fix that or we will disable hibernation/suspend.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A side issue is that with wubi people tend to allocate less disk space than they would with a normal installation (since they take it as a trial and then keep using it). Of course if the free space is over, it is going to create issues, but that is hardly our fault. We are looking into ways to expand virtual disks, but that would be a separate app anyway. That said in linux you can create a link from a folder within a real partition to a folder within a virtual disk, thus alleviating the pain.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In short: allocate enough space, do not hard reboot and do not suspend/hibernate. Other than that it should be the full monty: same speed (other than for #1), same hardware support/detection, same behaviour, same software. A small trade-off considering that we* provide what can possibly be considered the easiest OS installer ever created, whatever the OS.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for long term use, I would consider wubi as a mid-term solution. You can use it happily for weeks and months, but because of the 3 issues above, if you find yourself using Ubuntu quite heavily, you might want to do a full installation later on. That said we have a tool to migrate virtual disks to a real partition (LVPM by tuxcantfly). So migration should be quite smooth (that should result in an installation which is 100% identical to a standard one while keeping your data and settings). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you have a free partition or a spare hard disk and are confident about partitioning and ISO burning there is no much reason to use Wubi, just go straight for the full installation via live CD. But for people that do not know what a partition is, wubi is probably the best solution to date, particularly once tools such as LVPM reach final status. I hope that wubi will bring a small revolution to Linux installers and hence to Linux adoption, similar to what Knoppix/LiveCD did a few years ago', and I would not be too surprised to see Wubi clones implemented by other *nix distros in the near future. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;FYI: Wubi will hopefully become an official installation method by next Ubuntu release and we will &quot;merge&quot; with Ubuntu. Even though the recommended long term installation will still be based on the current LiveCD installer (with partitioning), Wubi installer will also be available on the official CD and as a separate download. By Gutsy we will use the LiveCD ISO as opposed to the Alternate ISO as a source of packages and the installer will be fully &quot;graphical&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;A big chunk of the merit goes to the people that gave us the possibility to boot linux from within windows (grub4dos) and provided us with r/w access to ntfs (ntfs-3g), without such technologies wubi would not be possible today.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="3889" LastActivityDate="2010-10-19T00:31:31.297" CommentCount="3" />

So, I've been trying to downgrade to a usable system. I've managed to restore a 10.04 Netbook Remix and restore my home dir but I still have the issue of linux not coming back from suspend. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Linux 2.6.28-11-generic&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, I've downloaded the 9.04 installer and narrowed down the issue to the linux version being used. The stock linux 2.6.28-11-generic works perfectly. Suspend is fully operational and it even goes to sleep when you close the lid and wakes up when you open it. I can keep this version of linux by pinning the meta package and upgrading with apt-get. Unfortunately, the graphic tools don't work as well (for me ymmv) and the Update Manager looks like it will upgrade linux despite being asked not to.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pin linux-generic at current version&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To tell apt-get to leave the linux kernel untouched when it upgrades the system, we will pin the package linux-generic to the current version. On a fresh 9.04 Netbook install, the linux-generic package is at version 2.6.28.11.15&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;spinlock@sendack:~$ apt-cache policy linux-generic&#xA;linux-generic:&#xA;  Installed: 2.6.28.11.15&#xA;  Candidate: 2.6.28.19.24&#xA;  Version table:&#xA;     2.6.28.19.24 0&#xA;        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty-updates/restricted Packages&#xA;        500 http://security.ubuntu.com jaunty-security/restricted Packages&#xA; *** 2.6.28.11.15 0&#xA;        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/restricted Packages&#xA;        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To pin this version we need to edit /etc/apt/policies (as root) and add the following lines:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;Package: linux-generic&#xA;Pin: version 2.6.28.11*&#xA;Priority: 1001&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Upgrade with apt-get&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, you can upgrade the system with apt-get:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;$sudo apt-get update&#xA;$sudo apt-get upgrade&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You may have some non-linux packages that are held back when you upgrade but you can use the install flag to upgrade those individually:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;$sudo apt-get install firefox&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Question&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, here's my question, after all of that, I'm still running the 9.04 version of ubuntu.

You could potentially install the old kernel from jaunty manually in a newer Ubuntu, or just keep upgrading and keep all the old kernel versions installed. The newer versions are designed and supported on a newer kernel though, and may not be compatible. You can boot to another kernel using the grub bootloader. If you do not see the grub menu, try holding shift while booting. Though you might be able to easily fix the issues you have with the new kernel.

For example, mounting a flash volume named &lt;code&gt;MyFlash&lt;/code&gt; usually creates to a folder named &lt;code&gt;/media/MyFlash&lt;/code&gt; from which it's contents can be accessed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unmounting it means making it's data unavailable through the file system. That means either:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;/media/MyFlash&lt;/code&gt; does not exist any more after unmounting, or&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;/media/MyFlash&lt;/code&gt; is an empty folder&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also you unmount one partition at a time. If you have multiple volumes (partitions) on your drive, you need to unmount each one separately.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&lt;strong&gt;Safely removing&lt;/strong&gt; a drive means the kernel USB module does not care about the drive any more. Any outstanding data that will be written, the device will be powered down (though there will still be voltage going out of the USB port). Only after this has finished should you remove the drive from the USB port.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even if the kernel writes all it's data through the USB port, some devices, especially external (rotating) hard drives, may buffer this data and not write it to the disk immediately. Just unmounting all partitions and pulling away the USB cable may leave data in these buffers unwritten to disk and thus lost. However, when safely removing the drive the kernel tells the drive to make sure all data is written and waits until the drive confirms to have done so.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&lt;em&gt;Technical info&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The kernel associates some special files with devices. Say we have a device &lt;code&gt;/dev/sdc&lt;/code&gt; with two partitions &lt;code&gt;/dev/sdc1/&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;/dev/sdc1&lt;/code&gt;. Mounting and unmounting operations make use of these files and formatting tools use them to write data directly to the partition. But when you &quot;safely remove&quot; the drive the kernel no longer associates any &lt;code&gt;/dev/sdc*&lt;/code&gt; file with your drive.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As long as the drive is not &quot;safely removed&quot;, but just &quot;unmounted&quot; there is still a way for applications and the kernel to write to the disk, and there is no guarantee that the kernel has finished writing it's buffers to disk, or that the disk has finished recoding them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="3026" LastActivityDate="2010-10-20T01:00:16.970" CommentCount="1" />

Compared to my MacBook, the experience was remarkably better. It even solved the issue where hitting volume keys would kick me out of full-screen mode.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In 10.10, with (to my knowledge) exactly the same setup, I'm getting ridiculous CPU usage, and full screen performance has gone from perfect to unusable (this is happening because it's flooring a 4-core i5 processor—no small feat). I'm also back to not being able to hit the volume keys without kicking Flash out of full screen and showing a frozen video player until I scroll the window, something that I fixed in 10.04 from overriding the built-in system Flash install (which I think was the 32-bit version with npviewer) with the latest beta.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is on a completely fresh install on a Lenovo X201 (no proprietary drivers).

The LiveUSB installation keeps everything in a SQUASFS file system, which is essentially read-only, and is unpacked as needed. This means that an existing package is in this SQUASH can only be read, not deleted. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In short, upgrading packages add up to the used file space, instead of replacing files. The new package files will be used instead, but those new files are just like regular ones. Over time, the load time will increase slightly, as more and more packages will be in regular file system. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On a lnger term, LiveUSB is not the solution. Definitely, I would recommend a full installation, which can then be maintained like any other hard-disk installation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Just one thing:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At the end of the questions, before confirming the installation to start, there is an &quot;Advanced&quot; button.

What it means is explained below:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;A compositing window manager is a&#xA;  component of a computer's graphical&#xA;  user interface that draws windows and&#xA;  their borders. It also controls how&#xA;  they display and interact with each&#xA;  other, and with the rest of the&#xA;  desktop environment. The main&#xA;  difference between a compositing&#xA;  window manager and other window&#xA;  managers is that instead of outputting&#xA;  to a common screen, programs each&#xA;  output first to a separate and&#xA;  independent buffer, or temporary&#xA;  location inside the computer, where&#xA;  they can be manipulated before they&#xA;  are shown.[1][2]&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The window manager then processes and&#xA;  combines, or composites, output from&#xA;  these separate buffers onto a common&#xA;  desktop. The result is that the&#xA;  programs now behave as independent 2D&#xA;  or 3D objects.[1] Compositing allows&#xA;  for advanced visual effects, such as&#xA;  transparency, fading, scaling,&#xA;  duplicating, bending and contorting,&#xA;  shuffling, and redirecting&#xA;  applications. The addition of a&#xA;  virtual third dimension allows for&#xA;  features such as realistic shadows&#xA;  beneath windows, the appearance of&#xA;  distance and depth, live thumbnail&#xA;  versions of windows, and complex&#xA;  animations, to name just a few.[3][4]&#xA;  Because the programs draw to the&#xA;  off-screen buffer, all graphics are&#xA;  naturally double buffered and thus do&#xA;  not flicker as they are updated.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The most commonly-used compositing&#xA;  window managers include the Desktop&#xA;  Window Manager in Microsoft Windows,&#xA;  the Quartz Compositor in Mac OS X, and&#xA;  Compiz, Metacity and KWin for Linux,&#xA;  FreeBSD and OpenSolaris systems. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositing_window_manager&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositing_window_manager&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you see a black border around docky, then compositing is not properly enabled.

Sometimes my IDE decides it wants focus when something special happens (like when something is done compiling) and then later I'll find fragments of IM messages I've typed in my code. This is driving me crazy. I've looked in both Gnome settings and Compiz settings and can't find a way to prevent that from happening.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Does anyone know of a way to prevent an app from stealing focus when it is opened? I'd rather have the taskbar flash at me or something to get my attention.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1193" LastActivityDate="2010-10-20T15:07:44.010" Title="Prevent Windows from stealing focus" Tags="&lt;10.10&gt;&lt;gnome&gt;&lt;focus&gt;" AnswerCount="2" FavoriteCount="3" />

This is good for a home directroy or ect directory but might not be what you're looking for in terms of a complete system migration. To use rsync, you'll need to install ubuntu on both systems. Update both of them so that the packages are the same and are at the same level (this isn't mandatory but does make things easier). Then, to copy your home dir from server1 to server2 you can run the following on server1:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;$rsync -avz /home/username/ username@server2:/home/username/&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The thing that I like about this is that rsync will calculate the differences between directories and transfer the changes rather than everything.

When it is enabled, it needs to timeout before ipv4 kicks in, which causes the delay when ipv6 is not supported by your network. There is a simple test that you can perform to verify if this is the issue - try to access a web page using the IP address. For example, try to open the following address:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://69.59.196.211:80&quot;&gt;http://69.59.196.211:80&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It should take you to Stack Overflow site. If the address responds quickly, then most likely that you have a DNS resolution issue due to ipv6.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can disable ipv6 in Firefox,  by setting the &lt;strong&gt;network.dns.disableIPv6&lt;/strong&gt; preference to true.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Type &lt;strong&gt;about:config&lt;/strong&gt; in the address bar, press Enter.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Find &lt;strong&gt;network.dns.disableIPv6&lt;/strong&gt; in the list.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Right-click -&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Toggle&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Restart Firefox and try again.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can also disable ipv6 on the system level. To do that, open the file  &lt;strong&gt;/etc/default/grub&lt;/strong&gt; with an editor:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;gksudo gedit  /etc/default/grub&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then change the following line:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash”&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With the following line:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”ipv6.disable=1 quiet splash”&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then update grub:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;sudo update-grub&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can also try to increase Firefox's DNS cache size and reduce DNS caching expiration, so the browser doesn't query the DNS server so frequently. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Type &lt;strong&gt;about:config&lt;/strong&gt; in Firefox address bar to open the advanced preferences&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Type &lt;strong&gt;network.dnsCache&lt;/strong&gt; in the filter field and hit enter&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Right-click on the empty results and select &quot;&lt;strong&gt;New&lt;/strong&gt; &gt;&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Integer&lt;/strong&gt;&quot;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Set the preference name as &lt;strong&gt;network.dnsCacheEntries&lt;/strong&gt; and set value as &lt;strong&gt;1000&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Right-click on the empty results and select &quot;&lt;strong&gt;New&lt;/strong&gt; &gt;&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Integer&lt;/strong&gt;&quot;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Set the preference name as &lt;strong&gt;network.dnsCacheExpiration&lt;/strong&gt; and set value as &lt;strong&gt;7200&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="2950" LastEditorUserId="2950" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-10-21T15:27:02.890" LastActivityDate="2010-10-21T15:27:02.890" CommentCount="2" />

The installation from a USB-based device is perhaps the only way you can perform an installation of Ubuntu or any other Linux distro.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The trick is to know how to boot from USB. On my 900, you need to press ESC when the first lines of text are displayed. You can then select where to boot from.

From the System menu, there is an option to make a Linux USB startup disk. I can't remember the actual option name. This will make a USB device (or an SD card) that can then be used to boot from . Once started, you will have an option to actually install the Ubuntu Linux. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;UNETBOOTIN is another solution to take any ISO and put it on a USB-based storage device so that it will boot from it just as if it was booting from an actual burned CDROM.

You can also&#xA;  use the exact menu entry instead of&#xA;  the menuentry position (like &quot;Windows&#xA;  7 (on /dev/sda1)&quot;) but entering just a&#xA;  number should be easier to remember.&#xA;  &lt;strong&gt;The grub-reboot will set the default&#xA;  boot entry for the next boot only&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="114" LastEditorUserId="114" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-10-22T04:07:03.917" LastActivityDate="2010-10-22T04:07:03.917" />

Mostly they are similar to the language codes, but for the variants, naming varies to taste, to some extent.

It can be reached via System-&gt;Administration. So, there's no need to struggle to reach it from inside other tools. Its there.

That is, should your computer run out of ram, it will use the swap area as a temporary source of more memory. More specifically, it will 'swap' unused items from the ram into the swap area in order to leave spare space for the applications that need it at that instant. This is not ideal as the data transfer rate to the hard drive is significantly lower than that to your normal ram. In practice this means its much slower to retrieve information from the swap area.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is used when the computer hibernates. Hibernation involves taking an image of the hardrive in its current state (like an ISO represents an image), and saves it to the swap area. It then reloads this image when the computer restarts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;To be most useful, the swap area should be at least (ram * 1.5) although more is recommended.

I'm not sure if that's really what you meant when you said &quot;KDE on top of an Ubuntu installation&quot;, but Kubuntu is little more than KDE+Ubuntu. Just do:  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop &lt;a href=&quot;http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/kubuntu-desktop&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://bit.ly/software-small&quot; alt=&quot;Install Kubuntu&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;on any terminal window (it will install a ton of kde packages). By the end, you'll get prompted if you want to use gdm or kdm as login manager. It's OK to choose either one, but kdm will give you the full Kubuntu experience.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Next time you boot, just before logging in, choose KDE as your session manager. It will use the same &lt;code&gt;$HOME&lt;/code&gt; and the same root folder, and thus you'll still have all the same programs installed, and their respective settings will be kept. I might be wrong, but I think only the settings stored under &lt;code&gt;~/.gnome2/&lt;/code&gt; won't be loaded by KDE (they &lt;em&gt;are&lt;/em&gt; gnome settings after all). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally, you don't really need to remove KDE after that. You can keep using gnome regularly, and never choose KDE again in the session manager. If, for some reason, you &lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt; want to really remove KDE (maybe you need to free up space), here's what you do:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;sudo apt-get purge kubuntu-desktop&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;kubuntu-desktop is a dummy package (you'll notice the removal process will be quick), removing this package will make apt consider all of the kde packages as unnecessary (since they were brought along by this one), so just do:  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;apt-get autoremove --purge&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you chose to keep gdm as your login manager, you can stop here. If you happened to choose kdm as your login manager back in the first step, you'll have to &lt;strong&gt;either&lt;/strong&gt; reinstall gdm (it's technically already installed, so you can just reconfigure it if you know how) &lt;code&gt;sudo apt-get install --reinstall gdm&lt;/code&gt; &lt;strong&gt;or&lt;/strong&gt; reinstall kdm again &lt;code&gt;sudo apt-get install kdm&lt;/code&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1012" LastEditorUserId="1012" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-11-29T16:15:40.903" LastActivityDate="2010-11-29T16:15:40.903" CommentCount="6" />

First, &lt;a href=&quot;http://live.gnome.org/JhbuildDependencies/Ubuntu&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://live.gnome.org/JhbuildDependencies/Ubuntu&lt;/a&gt; tells you what Ubuntu packages you need installed - use the Lucid installation, keeping in mind the comments from the Maverick section.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then - what is the moduleset in you're .jhbuildrc?  The default is gnome-3.0 so I'll assume is that.  The rc file points to the moduleset you'll be using.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Usually people doing a full &quot;jhbuild build&quot; skip certain packages and put that skipping in their .jhbuildrc.  You can read elsewhere, but building mozilla within an environment just to test gnome is something most people skip.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Actually, if you're having problems, I would suggest you not do an argument-less &quot;jhbuild build&quot; at all.  &quot;jhbuild build&quot; without arguments builds everything in your moduleset, which I'll assume is gnome-3.0 (look in your .jhbuildrc to see).  Better to do &quot;jhbuild build gnome-shell&quot;, which builds only gnome-shell and its dependencies (I believe gnome-shell currently has a total of 36 dependencies in jhbuild - that includes a count of not only dependencies, but the dependencies of the dependencies and so forth).  Once it's built, you can do a &quot;jhbuild run gnome-shell&quot; to run gnome-shell using the libraries etc. you have built.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I should note, if you're doing a jhbuild off of recent code, it can be rough sailing, although it's still the easiest way to go if there's no PPA for Ubuntu that you like.  I just did a fresh jhbuild.  gtk+ broke on some calls, so I browsed git, saw that that had been changed in the day before I installed git, so I git reset that directory to one from 24 hours before.  I then worked.  Also, the package I wanted to build would not build.  I searched the Bugzilla page for patches which updated some calls which had been deprecated long ago and recently removed by the gtk+ dependency.  I applied them and it then my gtk+ 3 dependent built.  So it was not automagic, I had to fix two broken builds.  But it finally built.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="3117" LastActivityDate="2010-10-25T04:16:33.833" CommunityOwnedDate="2010-10-25T04:16:33.833" />

Setting the system up so that it can choose the correct configuration based on some &quot;environmental&quot; parameter (e.g., CPU serial number) is definitely more trouble than it's worth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the advantages that High-availability setups give you, is the ability to do system upgrades without service downtime: you upgrade the &quot;backup&quot; system, test that it works, exchange the &quot;primary&quot; and &quot;backup&quot; roles, upgrade the former primary system.  If something goes bad, you still have at least one system up and running.

The question then becomes the permissions (or existence of) the file you're trying to access.

I usually leave these files set to a &lt;code&gt;755&lt;/code&gt; (the same as the directory).

This is what I &lt;em&gt;think&lt;/em&gt; I should do but I'd like confirmation from someone with a bit more experience first :) Bear in mind I've already done this once, and have fscked and grown the filesystem too, and have then written plenty more data to it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;sudo umount /dev/md0&#xA;sudo mdadm --stop /dev/md0&#xA;sudo mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdd1&#xA;sudo mdadm --grow /dev/md0 --raid-devices=4&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A bunch of extra information and steps I've already taken: I rebooted and was greeted with a message along the lines of &quot;Unable to read superblock&quot; for /dev/md0, my RAID array.

I can't remember the next command I used now but something else reported that I had tried to write past the end of the filesystem, which makes sense since there was more data on it than could fit onto the first two devices alone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;sudo fdisk -l&lt;/code&gt; reports that the new device and partition are alive and well. &lt;code&gt;cat /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf&lt;/code&gt; shows this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;DEVICE /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1&#xA;ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid5 num-devices=2 UUID=*snip*&#xA;spares=1&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Which shows clearly that it's completely forgotten about the new device I added.

It's supposed to do what it says on the tin, lock the version... But it only locks it within Synaptic.

When it is, I usually want to use only this monitor (because I have it hooked up to an external keyboard &amp;amp; mouse also).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What I found, is that if you have a file called &lt;em&gt;.xprofile&lt;/em&gt;, it is called every time the display is initialized (by X.org?). &lt;a href=&quot;http://pastebin.com/fD6YNzbK&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Here&lt;/a&gt; is the contents of my file.

The tricky part is automation (such as removing the cable while Ubuntu is running).

But ran into problems with Linux, while it was a interesting OS, I couldn't get much done because of modem issues. This was before broadband and getting the modem to work was not like just connecting ethernet to the computer. After a few times of installing, I finally gave up and stuck with Windows. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A few years later I got broadband and gave Linux another go, I think I used Mandrake 3, which was much more usable and was able to access the Interent. I did some researching, checked on IRC channels, but other than that, I really liked to play games and with only one computer, made it difficult. After destroying a few dual boot setups, including loosing all of my data, I decided aganist dual booting. :)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Since then, I have used Linux for some slower computers at home, but it wasn't until my last job where I really found Linux important. I was given a budget of no money and asked to create a method to block users from accessing youtube. The network engineer tried to block it by creating rules in the firewall appliance but needless to say, youtube has many many ip addresses. After searching possible Windows based solutions, I found a tutorial about setting up Squid. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It was in a few hours that I had a complete proxy server running, complete with reports and blocking youtube completely. It really brought up how important FOSS is and how people offering their time writing tutorials and support can make such a difference. At that point, I became much more interested not only in Linux but also Open Source software in general. Being a Windows admin for years it was hard to really understand how something that is Open Source can work as well as a closed source version but cost thousands of dollars less. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now at home, I'm running Linux on my main laptop, and planning to switch over my second laptop, then my main workstation. The second laptop hasn't switched over because it's plays Netflix to my tv, and the workstation is using for gaming, and Adobe LightRoom. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I guess my point here is when you switch from one OS to another, you should understand what to expect. Some people think of Linux as a complete system that will work just like Windows and offer the same applications. It's close but there's a learning curve as with any new OS, and you will need to understand that your favorite apps might not be available, but a close version will be. Keeping that in mind, has made my current install of 10.04 much more enjoyable. There are times when I'm missing a function in Gimp and want to switch over to Photoshop but I get around the hurdle and surprise myself with a new tool or trick. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="4034" LastActivityDate="2010-10-27T02:47:10.613" CommunityOwnedDate="2010-10-27T02:47:10.613" />

One advantage over things like SQLite (that is faster than CouchDB) is it is much easier to dump a load of records to JSON and import them at another end without conflict.

This is &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; the same as a totally new desktop environment. A desktop shell is the interface that you use. Unity will still use the same GNOME apps and libraries that the current desktop does. GNOME shell is an example of another shell for GNOME. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unity is developed by Canonical for Ubuntu. It is dual licensed under the GPL and LGPL (version 3). It was originally developed for the netbook edition but is going to be modified to be suitable for the desktop. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Currently, it is not suitable for desktops. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It consists of a top bar, similar to the normal gnome-panel but not the same. Instead of the Applications/Places/System menus is an Ubuntu icon that opens up an overlay called the dash which allows launching of files, folders and applications. It also has a global menu, that embeds the File, Edit etc. menubar from applications into the panel. It shows the menu of the currently focussed window. When windows are maximised, their controls (close, minimise, restore) are embedded into the panel as well. These are space saving features. The desktop edition is planned to not have the global menu because on a large screen it would move the menu far away from the windows being used and so the user would have to move their mouse all the way to the top to get to the menus. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is a launcher and dock on the left hand side of the screen. This can't be moved. It is planned that for the desktop edition it will be detachable and be able to go on any side of the screen. It is also likely to have an autohide feature. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The expose style feature is like the scale plugin for compiz. It gives you an overview of your windows and allows you to switch between them. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unity for the netbook edition currently used the mutter window manager. This has had some performance problems so it is being replaced with compiz for better performance. It is planned that it should gracefully degrade if 3D accelerated hardware is not available.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unity netbook interface:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/BRzW6.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;alt text&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The interface for the desktop is currently being discussed:&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/packageselection-desktop-n-specialized-unity-form-factor&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Launchpad Blueprint&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="667" LastEditorUserId="667" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-10-28T16:42:24.900" LastActivityDate="2010-10-28T16:42:24.900" CommentCount="1" />

The common-session file is what cause the actually mounting and the common-auth unwraps the passphrase.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;If just common-session is commented out (as I tried first), all one has to do is type ecrypt-mount-private and it will mount without the login passphrase. This is NOT GOOD. So the common-auth must be modified to prevent the loading of the unwrapped passphrase into the kernel.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The caveat to this is that THIS AFFECTS ALL USERS. I have just discovered the above by rooting around myself and it satisfies my needs. However, it will make it more difficult on a multiuser system for novices as the Private will not be automatically mounted. There may be a way to prevent this on a user-level (not system level) but I don't know how to do that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Hope this helps someone in the future.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Yours,&#xA;  Narnie&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You will need to restart your computer after you modify those files.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="114" LastEditorUserId="114" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-10-28T23:58:35.963" LastActivityDate="2010-10-28T23:58:35.963" CommentCount="3" />

The announcement about Unity for desktop is very recent so the marketing materials won't have been updated to reflect the new emphasis.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think Mark and pals really enjoyed the latitude they had designing Unity (aimed at netbooks with their small, typically 16x9 screens) without the restrictions of working the typical GNOME Panel way. They've got a taste for UI revamp now and want to bring it to the desktop.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And this is certainly the time to do it: with GNOME 3 being introduced, their competitor in the shell space will be not the tried-and-true GNOME Panel but the equally-controversial newcomer GNOME Shell. In addition, I believe Mark is right about touch interfaces becoming more important, and this will certainly require some UI rethinking.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However personally I'm extremely wary of both GNOME Shell and Unity. Whilst it remains to be seen how the desktop variant of Unity will work out, the central task management concepts of both shells seem poorly-matched to the way &lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt; personally work.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;[Namely: with 5:4 screens I don't want a large vertical strip taken up with big icons and I don't use separate desktop workspaces. I have &lt;em&gt;lots&lt;/em&gt; of applications I regularly use, so the current hierarchical launch menu, combined with a couple of panel icons for the most common suits me fine; I &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.asktog.com/columns/044top10docksucks.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;hate&lt;/a&gt; the OS X Dock's integration of launchers and currently-running apps/windows.

Thus these people feel that using Mono could leave one open to patent lawsuits.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I suppose Mono is so controversial because patent law in general is controversial. But then there are specific instances where entities that promote Mono have made agreements with Microsoft that look a lot like patent agreements, which could then be seen to strengthen Microsoft's argument for the validity of any such patents. (Of course, Microsoft hasn't actually provided any proof that the patents exist, thus maintaining a state of uncertainty, just as with their claim of patents violated by the linux kernel.) These agreements result in feelings of betrayal and distrust from other community members, because the agreement seems to hurt the community as a whole (by increasing the perceived patent risk) while benefiting the entity that made the agreement with Microsoft. So that leads to another reason that Mono is controversial: because some of Mono's main proponents have made controversial agreements with Microsoft.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;By the way, I should mention that I write from the perspective of a spectator, and I have no detailed or specific knowledge of the whole situation.

But the promise has enough legalese in it that I don't feel I can really be sure that the promise provides air-tight protection without hiring a lawyer to go over it. After reading it, I can think of some potential loopholes that could allow Microsoft to assert patent rights over Mono, but since &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/I/IANAL.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;IANAL&lt;/a&gt;, I have no idea whether any of these loopholes are legally defensible, or just my misunderstanding of Microsoft's legalese.

There's little consideration for what these icons need to accomplish or how people use them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The process was very transparent but the conclusions drawn (that tooltips are bad, that similar things should be clustered, that things should all operate in exactly the same way) haven't helped usability or design in the short-medium term.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://castrojo.wordpress.com/2010/02/06/application-indicator-update/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Jorge's blog post&lt;/a&gt; from earlier in the year hailed these positives but I'll post under them what I think has actually happened as a result.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More accessability, and note how he’s scrubbing through the menus with his keyboard.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But less accessibility where most people want it. The music menu is agnostic so there is (or at least was - I haven't used IA in some months) no way to quickly skip tracks with a roll of the mouse wheel. The messaging menu is compacted so there's no way to toggle the to-tray effect of single applications with one click. There aren't any tooltips so it's harder to find out what the current song or current volume or current network or who has sent you a message. It's &lt;em&gt;less&lt;/em&gt; accessible through lower function.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think this alone highlights the biggest issue when you try to standardise things. Each NA icon is supposed to control different applications and each of those works in a different way. Imposing a very restrictive set of design rules might make it look pretty (even that's debatable - my eyes have cones as well as rods, please use them!) but it means you have to invent a new way to control the application through its icon. So far all these alternative methods appear to be somewhat less intuitive or accessible than their predecessors.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There's also no consideration for people who don't want things clustered. I for example have oodles (3840px) of horizontal panel space. Clustering applications together just makes it even harder for me to get atomic control over something and doesn't have &lt;em&gt;any&lt;/em&gt; positive impact. I'm sure others with less horizontal space would like to disable certain clusters.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For third party applications of the world this means they can support one “linux” thing.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Not at all. Not even for application only targeting Ubuntu. Some users (raises a hand) really dislike IA so remove it. Not all supported versions of Ubuntu run IA. Other distributions aren't picking up IA with the same enthusiasm.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In short, application developers need to do &lt;em&gt;more&lt;/em&gt; work now than they did before. Even more so if Ubuntu does drop the Notification Area (if it hasn't already).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Everything behaves the same in both desktops and everything is consistent.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Apart from when you use an application where IA isn't targeted. Then you have IA and NA looking different, working different and the effect is about fourteen miles worse than just using NA.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My tray doesn’t feel like a back alley.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I won't repeat everything from the first point but it now feels like an incapable section that is practically only good for indicating things. There's an illusion of control but it's overshadowed by too many clicks and a lack of tooltip-driven feedback.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I honestly think that Microsoft did it right in Windows XP. Show whatever's running and wants to show an icon but hide things that you never use.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That said, there are things that could improve how IA works. The major one being to use hover instead of click for selecting IA icon. That would reduce the need for tooltips and bring things back to single-click status. And if they do want to take over the world with it, they need to replace NA completely. The only way to do that is to take the same interface as NA does and support all the applications that NA currently provides.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I wrote a post a while back &lt;a href=&quot;http://thepcspy.com/read/ubuntu-10-04-is-good-not-perfect/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;documenting the regressions like this in 10.04&lt;/a&gt;.

But they're probably not the same ones you install.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;they don't include VLC because it doesn't fit so instead they include Totem which is a much worse player.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Well that's very much a matter of opinion. VLC's a great player, in particular for its format support, but Totem, as a standard part of the GNOME desktop, fits the UI much better. All the Gstreamer stuff is coming along anyway, so installing the comparatively small Totem front-end is a no-brainer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So &lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt; install VLC, yes, but could I claim it's an essential for the average desktop user? No. Indeed, parts of its interface, like the playlist, are pretty clumsy and newbie-hostile.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Live CD and Instalation would be faster, since they wouldn't need compression at all&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The installation process is disk IO-bound. The CPU usage from decompression is not a bottleneck.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1889" LastActivityDate="2010-10-29T11:34:26.613" />

On top of it I am running a VMWare Server Edition, which needs to recompile it's modules whenever a new kernel is installed. For that I'm executing: &lt;code&gt;sudo vmware-config.pl&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Until now, whenever a new version of the kernel was available I installed it, rebooted the system and rebuild the modules.

Turns out that some hacker exploited a bad password by one of my users and loaded on automated script that ran through 5 or 6 exploits before finding one that worked (an exploit that was patched, had I updated the kernel). It rooted the server and then proceeded to set up a bot (Campus IT caught the hack before I did, they noticed suspicious IRC traffic and contacted me).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Funny story, is that I used those same scripts to take back control of the machine to backup some raw data before nuking the system.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Long story short, keep your system up to date, keep your passwords secure, maintain good administrative practices.

With all my previous computers this worked fine and i could use both systems to access the common data partition.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is a screenshot of Windows 7 Disk Management:&#xA;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/nfCYd.png&quot; alt=&quot;alt text&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What should i do to fix this so i can format this common data to ntfs from Windows, failing that how to format a partition as ntfs from linux ( i expect that to be more risky that from windows)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Edit:  This is the output of fdisk -l  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;Disco /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes&#xA;255 cabezas, 63 sectores/pista, 38913 cilindros&#xA;Unidades = cilindros de 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes&#xA;Tamaño de sector (lógico / físico): 512 bytes / 512 bytes&#xA;Tamaño E/S (mínimo/óptimo): 512 bytes / 512 bytes&#xA;Identificador de disco: 0x949ef5d2&#xA;&#xA;Dispositivo Inicio    Comienzo      Fin      Bloques  Id  Sistema&#xA;/dev/sda1               1           5       40131   de  Utilidad Dell&#xA;/dev/sda2   *           6        1918    15360000    7  HPFS/NTFS&#xA;/dev/sda3            1918        8258    50931829+   7  HPFS/NTFS&#xA;/dev/sda4            8259       38914   246238209    5  Extendida&#xA;/dev/sda5            8259        8271       97280   83  Linux&#xA;/dev/sda6           36969       38914    15624192   82  Linux swap / Solaris&#xA;/dev/sda7            8271       14350    48827392   83  Linux&#xA;/dev/sda8           14350       16781    19529728   83  Linux&#xA;/dev/sda9           33321       36969    29296640   83  Linux&#xA;/dev/sda10          16781       33320   132852736   83  Linux&#xA;&#xA;Las entradas de la tabla de particiones no están en el orden del disco&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The partition 10 that I wanted in ntfs appeared as of linux type, even when in the installer i didn't select that.

Alternatively, &lt;code&gt;dbus-launch&lt;/code&gt; can be hooked in to your login scripts to run at SSH login.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="5050" LastEditorUserId="5050" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-11-03T16:03:32.340" LastActivityDate="2010-11-03T16:03:32.340" Title="How do I rip CDs with Sound Juicer over X11 forwarding?"

If you have lots of outside sources from PPAs and have applications on your system that are not standard releases, perhaps obtained by PPA or compiled yourself, it causes problems with the upgrade. Then you may have no alternative but to identify those packages and roll back to the standard Ubuntu versions. Then try again. In the worst case, you may need to do a fresh installation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;See: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/29584/safely-remove-ppas-and-roll-back-to-stable-versions-in-ubuntu/&quot;&gt;http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/29584/safely-remove-ppas-and-roll-back-to-stable-versions-in-ubuntu/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Fresh installations are nothing to be feared. You get a clean slate. I always do them and it is a piece of cake. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My method is to first have a separate home partition. If you don't have this then you have to go through the added step of copying the files from your home folder to another device, such as a usb stick (make sure that you get the hidden files too, Ctrl+H). My home partition is at least five years old and I have re-used it at least 20 times and never backed up or saved anything, without any data loss. So much for the advantage of re-using a separate home...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The next step is to save your list of installed applications. You can use the commandline, but I prefer Synaptic. You open Synaptic and go to File, Save Markings (tick the box for full state). Give it a name and put it in a safe place, such as on your usb stick. Re-install. Re-boot. If necessary re-copy files back to home. Open Synaptic. Go to File, Read Markings and navigate to the text file. Apply and do something else till it is done.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Try the roll back idea first, if fresh installations scare you (it's almost Hallowe'en afterall).

Basically I cannot get any sound from the microphone that is on the chasis of this lenovo x300 laptop.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My theory is that pulse or alsa are only able to get sound input if I connect an external mic to the jack. I tried using an external mic a few months ago and it worked. But I don't want to use external mics, I want to use the mic on the laptop itself. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Any suggestion on how to solve this problem?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="5075" LastActivityDate="2010-10-31T06:21:58.377" Title="Unable to use built-in mic on Lenovo Thinkpad x300 due to regression bug from 1 year ago" Tags="&lt;sound&gt;&lt;pulseaudio&gt;&lt;thinkpad&gt;&lt;microphone&gt;&lt;lenovo&gt;" CommentCount="1" />

When a package needs to build against a version of gnome-vfs, it should query &lt;code&gt;pkg-config&lt;/code&gt; to find the installation location. (This is normally done during &lt;code&gt;configure&lt;/code&gt; for the to-be-compiled software.) For example:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;pkg-config --cflags gnome-vfs-2.0&#xA;-pthread -DORBIT2=1 -I/usr/include/gnome-vfs-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/include -I/usr/include/gconf/2 -I/usr/include/orbit-2.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include  &#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note the use of all the &lt;code&gt;-I&lt;/code&gt; flags, including &lt;code&gt;-I/usr/include/gnome-vfs-2.0&lt;/code&gt;.

Given the &lt;code&gt;-I&lt;/code&gt; part, the compiler will be able to find the full path to the headers, since it will start looking in &lt;code&gt;/usr/include/gnome-vfs-2.0&lt;/code&gt; and then tack on the header path &lt;code&gt;libgnomevfs/gnome-vfs-acl.h&lt;/code&gt;, which will resolve the correct full file path: &lt;code&gt;/usr/include/gnome-vfs-2.0/libgnomevfs/gnome-vfs-acl.h&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, if the software does not already use &lt;code&gt;pkg-config&lt;/code&gt;, you can try to pass the variables (&lt;code&gt;cflags&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;libs&lt;/code&gt;) into the &lt;code&gt;configure&lt;/code&gt; call:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;CFLAGS=`pkg-config --cflags gnome-vfs-2.0` LDFLAGS=`pkg-config --libs gnome-vfs-2.0` ./configure&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="721" LastActivityDate="2010-10-31T17:12:40.510" />

Many applications are unfamiliar with how to decode it, since it has a very different multiplexing format than the more conventional MPEG container known as &quot;Program Stream&quot;, which is what is used on DVDs, and what is produced by many encoder cards. The difference between TS and PS is only how the packet structure is built; the A/V data inside it is the same.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To get better interoperability, I recommend converting the container from TS to PS.

It's the only one of it's kind (operating system level virtualization). It handles well Linux applications of any proportion from a web reverse-proxy to an I/O intensive backup system processing 30TB a day. Having 30 or more containers per server is normal. Another big advantage is that from the hardware node (equivalent to Dom0 in Xen) you have all the file systems of the Linux containers mounted directly - no NFS required. Also, you can see all the processes of your Linux containers from the head node with the ability to strace, kill, etc...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can safely delegate containers with ssh access to your friends and let them be root.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You would need to be comfortable with Linux and the command-line.

After that, you can reformat the NTFS partition as ext4/reiserfs/whatever and either a) mount that as part of the filesystem by editing your fstab (for automatically mounting) or b) use gparted to expand your existing installation into the empty space. Having a disk image will give you peace of mind; but it takes up a lot of space and time to make one.

To do that, as mentioned above, use &lt;code&gt;sudo install-grub /dev/&amp;lt;disk name&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;. It should update grub automatically, if I recall correctly...

Full screen HTML5 video is choppy at best, and full-screen Flash video basically brings my computer to its knees (I'm talking less than a frame a second, and a 5 second lead time to leave full-screen after hitting Esc). Restarting Chrome doesn't fix this — I need to completely restart my machine before performance goes back to normal.

If applications continue moving away from the desktop we will have an inconsistent experience concerning where to locate application related options/tools depending on which app you are using (e.g. Chrome).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally, the current global menu bar implementation doesn't work for all apps, and doesn't even work for all apps in the default install.

One of the key principles -- tautologies, really -- in UI design is that &quot;bigger&quot; things are easier to &quot;hit&quot; with a mouse.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What is less obvious until one thinks about it, is that things on the edges of the screen have infinite height or width (depending on whether they're on a horizontal or vertical edge).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;By keeping a menu at the top of the screen, the user only has to &quot;aim&quot; horizontally -- vertically, they need only &quot;throw&quot; the cursor to the top of the screen.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Second, the idea that &quot;Desktop&quot; Unity doesn't need to conserve vertical space is just silly. In recent years, I've used wide-screen 17&quot; laptops with 1920x1200 displays, often with an additional external monitor of the same resolution, and I find myself wishing for more vertical space all the time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Screen real estate is always at a premium -- not just on netbooks.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally, with regard to the remark about usability issues with the distance between the menu and application windows on large screens, I'm not at all certain where that's coming from. Mac OS has been getting along just fine for years, including as my primary desktop environment. There are undeniably implementation issues with the global menu's actual functionality with some apps, and inconsistent or poor design practices have certainly led to some applications relying overly much on menu bars, or laying their menu bars out in strange ways, but these are not fundamental problems with the global menu paradigm.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="57" LastActivityDate="2010-11-02T10:37:47.797" CommentCount="4" />

That's true for Shotwell out-of-the-box.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you're expecting each user to have their own database and picture directory but not have their own account on the machine, there is a solution.

We currently have no support for updating the database if the backing file is changed or moved.  The next release (0.8) should have better support for this, as it will scan the library at startup and also optionally monitor the user's library for run-time changes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, Shotwell is a non-destructive editor.  If one user crops a photo, for example, the other users won't see that change because the backing file has not changed.  Synchronizing databases is something we're thinking of, but it's not a simple problem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="5261" LastActivityDate="2010-11-02T22:57:30.243" />

Perhaps it could be confirmed, and in this case, corrected in next driver release.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thanks.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I tried &lt;em&gt;Ubuntu 10.04&lt;/em&gt;. It seems to work fine using AC adapter, but it still hangs using battery.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It is not exactly the same behaviour than before. Now I can login succesfully, but after a few random minutes, screen goes black, I can only see mouse cursor but it is dead, I can't move it, and laptop is completely dead, more than before, because I have to use power button to turn it off, no shell login available now.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Looks like similar hang, but delayed on time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;:( &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;xsession-errors:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...&#xA;Setting IM through im-switch for locale=es_ES.&#xA;Start IM through /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/all_ALL linked to /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/default.&#xA;GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=/tmp/keyring-uWr8qK&#xA;GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=/tmp/keyring-uWr8qK&#xA;GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=/tmp/keyring-uWr8qK&#xA;SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/keyring-uWr8qK/ssh&#xA;&#xA;(polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:10631): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type `_PolkitError'&#xA;&#xA;(polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:10631): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed&#xA;&#xA;(gnome-power-manager:10635): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.24.1/gobject/gsignal.c:2273: signal `proxy-status' is invalid for instance `0x1daf750'&#xA;** (nm-applet:10641): DEBUG: old state indicates that this was not a disconnect 0&#xA;Initializing nautilus-open-terminal extension&#xA;Initializing nautilus-gdu extension&#xA;** (nm-applet:10641): DEBUG: foo_client_state_changed_cb&#xA;WARNING: Application calling GLX 1.3 function &quot;glXCreatePixmap&quot; when GLX 1.3 is not supported!

It's supposed to simplify the whole graphics stack by forcing everything through a standard GEM/DRM stack straight into the kernel and managing compositing itself.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Compare that to the X stack where you have bits and bobs all over the place. Some of the X mess has been through flexible design, some have been growing pains. All the compositors (Compiz/Metacity/Mutter/KWin/etc) have been added as an afterthought. They are, at their core, hacks to do what X should probably be doing itself. If things carry on expanding outwards like they have been, we'll get to a point where the project become unmaintainable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All in all, when hardware support is there, it should make the whole stack more efficient and less painful to use in standard setups.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However there are a couple of issues that I haven't seen remedies for so far:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;X is pretty network-aware. You can send windows to other computers, you can have multiple screens with remote logins and all sorts of funky things like that. This might seem fairly specialist but it's widely used technology. Wayland appears fairly local and static in comparison.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;There's also driver support. Closed-source drivers are yet to support the KMS/shared-GEM/shared-DRM technologies that Wayland thrives upon. A purist might be okay with Nouveau but somebody who pays £100-400 on a high performance 3D graphics card won't be happy with the flaky poor 3d performance they'd get with the current open driver.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=2343452&amp;amp;postcount=11&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Nvidia have said they have no plans to support Wayland&lt;/a&gt;.

But usually the command name and file name are enough to locate the offender and close the file properly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you can't close the file and just want to end it all, you can kill the process with &lt;code&gt;kill 31421&lt;/code&gt; (where &lt;code&gt;31421&lt;/code&gt; is the process ID) or &lt;code&gt;kill -HUP 31421&lt;/code&gt; (“hang up”).

However, the &lt;code&gt;-s&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;-u&lt;/code&gt; options do not work together (the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xcu/pax.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;POSIX definition of pax&lt;/a&gt; literally says that &lt;code&gt;-u&lt;/code&gt; must check a file of the same name in the destination tree, rather than the file name transformed by &lt;code&gt;-s&lt;/code&gt;; the pax implementation in Ubuntu follows the spec literally rather than usefully). It's still possible to make use of it to make renamed hard links, and then copy the hard links (with &lt;code&gt;rsync -au&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;pax -rw -pp -u&lt;/code&gt;) to the other media, but it feels more trouble than it's worth.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;cd ~/mail&#xA;mkdir -p /media/usb99/mail&#xA;pax -rw -l -pp -s '!:!_!g' . ../mail.colonless&#xA;rsync -au ../mail.colonless/ /media/usb99/mail/&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another idea would be to use &lt;a href=&quot;http://fuse.sourceforge.net/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FUSE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (Filesystem in Userspace) to create a renaming stackable filesystem. I don't know of any ready-made FUSE filesystem that can turn &lt;code&gt;:&lt;/code&gt; into &lt;code&gt;_&lt;/code&gt;, but one that comes very close is &lt;a href=&quot;http://fuse-convmvfs.sourceforge.net/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;convmvfs&lt;/a&gt; (not in Ubuntu as of 10.04, but you can compile it after installing &lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.ubuntu.com/build-essential&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;build-essential&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/build-essential&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://bit.ly/software-small&quot; alt=&quot;Install build-essential&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.ubuntu.com/libfuse-dev&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;libfuse-dev&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/libfuse-dev&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://bit.ly/software-small&quot; alt=&quot;Install libfuse-dev&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;), which translates between character sets using the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Generic-Charset-Conversion.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;iconv&lt;/a&gt; library. You can even use convmvfs if you write an iconv module for a character set that approximates &lt;code&gt;:&lt;/code&gt; with &lt;code&gt;_&lt;/code&gt;, but this requires a little C programming. Alternatively, there are FUSE bindings in high-level languages, for instance &lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.ubuntu.com/python-fuse&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;python-fuse&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/python-fuse&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://bit.ly/software-small&quot; alt=&quot;Install python-fuse&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, which make it a small programming task to implement a simple renaming filesystem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1059" LastEditorUserId="1059" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-11-23T21:01:27.783" LastActivityDate="2010-11-23T21:01:27.783" CommentCount="10" />

Create a file called grub.cfg with your favorite editor (you'll need to sudo): &lt;code&gt;gksudo gedit /media/usbdrive/boot/grub/grub.cfg&lt;/code&gt; and paste the following 5 lines inside.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;search --set -f /ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;loopback loop /ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso persistent debug=&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;boot&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do a &lt;code&gt;sudo sync&lt;/code&gt; to commit all changes to the usb drive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;That's it!

Specifically, they rely on the VESA modes available in your video BIOS.  This should always contain the default VESA resolutions but it's also possible for the laptop or video card manufacturer to add extra resolutions - such as 1366x768 - to this table.  Sometimes manufacturers don't add any extra resolutions here, as it's only useful for &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; old applications that want to use the VESA system or when proper drivers aren't installed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Since at boot time we have &lt;em&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; video driver available, just the VESA calls, we're limited to the resolutions in the VBIOS.  Anything else needs to wait until a hardware driver is loaded which can do proper resolution setting.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For the open-source drivers which support KMS we can load these early during startup, so we get a proper resolution quickly.

Regardless, Alt-F,S would &quot;work&quot; in that it's a no-op (just like Ctrl-S would be). That is, even though Save is disabled, hitting S would still close the File menu, it just wouldn't save the document.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, in Ubuntu/GNOME, when the Save menu item is disabled in Eclipse, Alt-F,S would get &quot;stuck&quot; on the File menu. Since Save is disabled, S would just not do anything, and the File menu stays open.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I know I can just try to switch to Ctrl-S instead, but can I just configure Ubuntu/GNOME to let me try Alt-F,S even if that particular menu item is disabled?

Therefore, this implies that you know how to install Ubuntu the regular way with the graphical desktop CD/DVD installer.&#xA;However, you said you used  the &quot;CHIP&quot; live DVD.&#xA;I am not sure what CHIP or their live DVD is. Is www.CHIP.de a site for a German computer magazine or something?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Well regardless, assuming you just installed Ubuntu from this DVD, there is one very big problem. Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty is no longer supported by Ubuntu. This means it will no longer receive security or bug fix updates/patches. The bottom line of this is that if you use 9.04, your it will be vulnerable to any new malware (viruses) or hacking attempts that have been developed since Ubuntu 9.04's support stopped last month (it was supported for 1.5 years.) The support life-times are explained in the 1st google result for the search term &quot;ubuntu wiki releases&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Fortunately, the solution to the lack of support is the same solution that will likely make your laptop work with Ubuntu. The solution is to install a newer version of Ubuntu that is supported for a while. Ubuntu 10.10 maverick is the latest version and will be supported until April 2012, but your system is fairly old so I'd recommend ubuntu 10.04 lucid which is supported until April 2013 (and partially supported until April 2015.) Since Ubuntu 10.04 is a newer version/release it is very likely to include a fix for the bug that prevents 9.04 from starting up.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To download Ubuntu 10.04 and then install it, follow this link:&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download&lt;/a&gt; .&#xA;Select &quot;Ubuntu 10.04 - Long Term Support&quot; and then &quot;32-bit, recommended&quot;. Then hit download. On this same page you will see instructions for burning the 10.04 CD and installing it. Once it is burnt, it will be the same basic steps that you used to install 9.04 Jaunty. However, you will want to chose to install 10.04 to your entire 20GB hard drive that Ubuntu 9.04 jaunty is on, deleting the old Ubuntu 9.04 install in the process. (Remember, you only want to do this if you do not have any data on the Ubuntu 20GB drive as it will be lost! (Which I presume because I presume you just installed it.) If you do have any data on the Ubuntu drive, copy it over to the windows drive, or a CD, or a usb drive, etc.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of course, I presume you have data on your 80GB windows drive so make sure windows (the NTFS parition) on that drive is not touched.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Again, assuming you just installed 9.04, the steps above to install 10.04 are what I strongly recommend. However we may be able to make your 9.04 install work by installing all bug-fix/security updates for it from the recovery mode. This is assuming you have broadband (fast) internet connection rather than dial-up, which would greatly complicate and slow down things. Here are the steps:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Make sure you are connected to the internet (via a router or whatever) over a wired ethernet connection, as opposed to wireless. (Wired ethernet is the usual way for a desktop.) If you are on wireless, tell me and I'll give you a lot more instructions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Turn on your computer and at the boot menu, select: Ubuntu 9.04 kernel 2.6.28 – 11 genuine (Recovery Mode)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ubuntu should start up into recovery mode, getting past the error you saw before. Once you see a blue menu with several text options, select &quot;Drop to root shell prompt&quot; (it may be named something similar.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;4: At this root shell prompt, (it's a command prompt, like the old days of dos, but way more powerful) enter these commands:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;apt-get update&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;apt-get upgrade&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;(You have to enter these commands exactly. You will see a lot of text scroll by for each step, and the 2nd one may take a few hours on your computer. The 2nd one will prompt you to continue, hit Y for yes, then enter.) If you don't run into any errors, that means your system is updated successfully.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;5: Assuming it worked correctly, you enter the following command to reboot:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;shutdown -r now&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;6: When the computer gets back to the boot menu, you should see Ubuntu with a higher kernel number as the default. Select that and see if it starts up successfully without running into the bug you saw before.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I apologize for this message being so long but it was necessary for the seriousness of the problem and to make things easily understood yet comprehensive.

Your question gives an interesting perspective on how a windows user views the new world of linux/unix.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When you install (most) applications, they tend to be installed into /usr/bin (on ubuntu), but that is only the binaries.

The application is written primarily in XSLT, and includes a very thin front-end that can be written in any language that can access an XSLT processor. I currently have front-ends written in JavaScript (able to run in the browser client, and from the command-line under Rhino) and Python. I'd also like to write a front-end entirely in bash, and simply use one of the command-line XSLT processors available in apt. There are several available via apt, including xsltproc, xalan, and 4suite's xslt processor. I'd like to make the bash front-end flexible so that it is able to use any of these command-line clients, and will simply use whichever is available. My question is, how best can I express in terms of debian's package dependency system the relationship between my package and these three other packages, which is a logical disjunction (OR relationship). My package relies on xsltproc OR 4suite OR xalan. Ideally, when my package is installed, the user should be prompted to choose any of these three package to install as a dependency; and if one of these packages is already installed on the system when my package is installed, then no additional dependencies should be installed.

It was fine (although some steps - like correctly configuring network and Airport Extreme - were not that easy, but it's a different story).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, I've now a working Maverick Meerkat on my iBook.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Besides, I've recently discovered Ubuntu Netbook Remix, and I consider it would be a very cool addition to my iBook and its limited display (1024x768 ... yes, it's that old).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But from what I can see, it seems that UNR ISO is only available for x86 platforms (but I may be wrong, in which case I hope you'll correct me). So is it a way to install it over a &quot;traditionnal&quot; Ubuntu desktop install ? And if so, will it work on PowerPC architecture ?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thanks&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EDIT&lt;/strong&gt; (I let the question open, as it seems to me as a related issue). So, I installed it, and the computer did not complains about it. Unfortunatly, when trying to log in using UNR as desktop (selection done on login screen, when entering the password), I only get a screen telling me to insert the CD (which of course I have not), after what session does not opens, and I go back to login screen.

If I click the Edit button, I see it in the list of available profiles along with many others and it is set to active.  Why would it not be in the Preferred Formats list, and more importantly, how could I get it back in the Preferred Formats list so I can rip a CD with it?

This prints a trace of the execution on standard error. Here the shell's standard error should be redirected to &lt;code&gt;~/.xsession-errors&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There's a contradition in your question: you say your goal is “finding out how many times ~/.profile is executed when user logs in”, and then you go on to hack with &lt;code&gt;.bashrc&lt;/code&gt;. Merely putting &lt;code&gt;export PROFILE_EXEC_TIMES; let &quot;PROFILE_EXEC_TIMES += 1&quot;&lt;/code&gt; in your &lt;code&gt;.profile&lt;/code&gt; does count how many times it's sourced, and it's unsurprising that the result is 1 (you only log in once).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your &lt;code&gt;.profile&lt;/code&gt; sources &lt;code&gt;.bashrc&lt;/code&gt;, which is weird as &lt;code&gt;.profile&lt;/code&gt; is used when logging in and &lt;code&gt;.bashrc&lt;/code&gt; is the configuration file of bash when it's interactive. Maybe you did this to work around a design bug in bash, whereby it doesn't read &lt;code&gt;.bashrc&lt;/code&gt; in a shell that is both a login shell and interactive; I prefer to have a &lt;code&gt;.bash_profile&lt;/code&gt; that sources both &lt;code&gt;.profile&lt;/code&gt; and (if the shell is interactive) &lt;code&gt;.bashrc&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note that your &lt;code&gt;.profile&lt;/code&gt; takes care not to source &lt;code&gt;.bashrc&lt;/code&gt; if the shell isn't bash. This explains why &lt;code&gt;.bashrc&lt;/code&gt; isn't read when you log in: &lt;code&gt;/etc/gdm/Xsession&lt;/code&gt; is executed by &lt;code&gt;/bin/sh&lt;/code&gt;, which on Ubuntu 10.04 is &lt;a href=&quot;http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/dash.1.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;dash&lt;/a&gt;, not bash.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Near the top of &lt;code&gt;.bashrc&lt;/code&gt;, you have: “If not running interactively, don't do anything” commenting the line &lt;code&gt;[ -z &quot;$PS1&quot; ] &amp;amp;&amp;amp; return&lt;/code&gt;. Actually, that line won't do this; it's fairly common for &lt;code&gt;PS1&lt;/code&gt; to be set in non-interactive shells (for example, it's set by &lt;code&gt;/etc/profile&lt;/code&gt;).

Good Unicode support came with GNU Emacs 23, which is the default version as of Ubuntu 10.04. Acceptable Unicode support came with GNU Emacs 22, which was the default version as of Ubuntu 8.04. Prior versions &lt;em&gt;did&lt;/em&gt; have some support for Unicode, but it was more common to run into bugs or limitations.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Emacs doesn't use Gnome, so you can't use Gnome input methods in it.

The native Emacs equivalent is &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;Q&lt;/kbd&gt;, which for historical reasons must be followed by the octal code; if you prefer hexadecimal, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Easy-Customization.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;customize&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Inserting-Text.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;read-quoted-char-radix&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to the value 16.

The Software Centre is divided into categories (Office, Web, Programming, etc) and all you have to do to install software from it is to hit the 'install' button and enter you user password, and you're all set.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, onto specific applications.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Visual Studio&lt;/strong&gt;: If you're planning on doing development on Linux, you may want to check out the accepted answer to &lt;a href=&quot;http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24109/c-ide-for-linux&quot;&gt;this question on Stack Overflow&lt;/a&gt;. The default text editor on Ubuntu has built in support for syntax highlighting of a great many languages and can have it's functionality expanded with plugins (many of which some preinstalled). If you're looking for an IDE for a particular language, then just search for that language in the Software Centre (you probably don't need to include 'IDE').&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nero&lt;/strong&gt;: Fluendo is available from the Software Centre for $25 under the recently introduced 'for purchase' category.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Adobe Reader&lt;/strong&gt;: Ubuntu has a built in pdf viewer called Evince.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alcohol 120%&lt;/strong&gt;: Ubuntu has a DVD burner called Brasero, though I'm not sure how it compares to Alcohol in terms of features.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WinRAR&lt;/strong&gt;: Ubuntu has a built in archive manage that can handle .zip and .tar.gz.

In the computer system jargon we says the partition is &quot;mounted&quot;, reflecting the fact that you can browse it and access its data.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So what you want to do is boot from a Live CD or USB and use the disk partition manager to resize your &quot;home&quot; partition for instance. As you would have started the computer from the Live device, your real home partition would not be &quot;mounted&quot;, and as such you can edit it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Though, in most cases you won't have problems resizing a partition you should always perform a complete backup of your data on your computer. And in addition, you should check the following, it will help avoiding problem:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;as you have a laptop, check that your battery is fully charged and that the power cable is plugged in. So you're reducing the risk of power failure during the resizing process&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;you should check the partition for errors and correct them before resizing. You could check the &lt;a href=&quot;https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SystemAdministration/Fsck&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Ubuntu wiki for fsck&lt;/a&gt;, or you can use the command &lt;code&gt;sudo fsck -y /dev/sda&amp;lt;n&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; replacing  by the proper partition number. I advise you to do that from the Live CD/USB too.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;as you want to reduce a partition of 2GB, you should verify first that you have more than 2GB free on this partition.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;finally it's good practice to avoid having a file system too full (more than 80 or 90 %) as this helps keeping file fragmentation low. You should be aware that file fragmentation could raise the time and complexity necessary to resize a partition.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But don't be afraid, it's doable.

To do this, I have been using dvd::rip to pull the individual vob files from the disc and then using ffmpeg2theora to encode.  This process has been working great for me until I hit a slight snag.  The dvd I just ripped does not have the individual episodes in vobs, but the entire disc of 7 episodes in one vob.  I went ahead and ripped it and encoded the whole thing into Theora.  Now, how do I split this file into the individual episodes?  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would prefer not to re-encode these, and obviously any prospective program would need a easy way for me to set the 'cut' points.

Because we live in monetary world, everything must have some kind of profit to sustain it self. In my observation the best open source projects are those who have just that. For example:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Firefox (Mozilla foundation)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Ubuntu (Canonical)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Alfresco (Alfresco Software)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;OpenOffice (StarDivision, Sun)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Android (Google)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;KDE (KDE e.V. and many others)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;and I could go on. Of course there are other small jewels out there with only donations.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Petitioning will do nothing and this has been proved many times as I've seen over the years. The reason is too few Linux machines.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In my opinion it's a problem monetary mentality in corporations... well this sounds stupid does it? yes, corporations are money making machines nothing more and open source contradicts everything they stand for. But it's not all that bad, for example IBM sells mostly servers not software and if they can use cheaper software to sell more expensive hardware for same software+hardware bundle price then its a win/win situation for customer and IBM. And thats exactly the (only) reason why the love Linux. So to deal with this, there have to be deals that profit both sides not just people.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Considering users, most of them are not so smart (politely said) and they don't care about advance features Linux has. Through many years I saw complains with Linux about simple features that logical and where they actually should be for the sake of most users. And even I that have been using Linux for more that 10 years, can still make a list of things that should be done. The only one doing this job more or less is Canonical, other distributions have simply failed. So in this, the guilt mostly falls on us geeks that fail to see the need for simplicity and to listen noobs how they want things done. So to deal with this, many feature requests that have had low priority for years, must be done especially those that simplify work and use.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So as long people will not move to Linux, there will be not much interest of corporations and as long simple users can't use things they are used to they are pretty hard to convince, because people don't wanna learn something that they already can do, unless there is something a lot better out there.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also I think canonical can do a lot in this case and is already doing.

But do not worry, you are now blessed with this answer, and the video output driver can be specified on the command line (e.g. -vo xv).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The order of configuration options that mplayer will scrawl before it finally decides to (only) try the (missing) vdpau driver is not so obvious, but I think it roughly goes like this,&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Check the ~/.mplayer/config for the (user specific) default video output driver, if any&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Then check /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf for the (system specific) default video output driver, if any&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then check in the compile options that mplayer was built with for a default (build specific).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the mplayer command you were using was compiled with the vdpau option and there are no default video output drivers specified in ~/.mplayer/config or /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf (which is either a common occurrence or I am the only person on the planet earth who has ever had problems with a configuration option on a linux box) then it will fall back to the compiled default which in this case was vdpau.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another similar issue is that mplayer may work fine while gmplayer gives this same error using the same options you just tried with mplayer. Well guess what? gmplayer uses yet another config file, ~/.mplayer/gui.conf, and it will default to the last video driver specified (or defaulted to in the compile options). So again, just specify a video output driver on the command line, or put one in one of the myriad of config files mentioned here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Hope this helps. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="5691" LastActivityDate="2010-11-16T10:13:12.017" CommentCount="2" />

From what I understand the eth0 was not getting an IP address from the dhcp of the router.&#xA;Also I had the exact same ifconfig result that is shown above in the threads beginning.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In my case I could solve my problem by doing &quot;sudo ifdown eth0&quot; and then &quot;sudo ifup eth0&quot;. The eth0 got an IP address and everything worked just fine. Of course every time I had a shutdown I had to repeat the process.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Today I looked the avah that is mentioned in the ifconfig response and I checked to see if it was turned on my pc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;$ cat /etc/default/avahi-daemon&#xA;# 1 = Try to detect unicast dns servers that serve .local and disable avahi in&#xA;# that case, 0 = Don't try to detect .local unicast dns servers, can cause&#xA;# troubles on misconfigured networks&#xA;AVAHI_DAEMON_DETECT_LOCAL=1&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I guess it is turned on although it doesn't mention anything about the dhcp.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In my case i remove the eth0 entries from the /etc/network/interfaces and I got back in the situation I was before.&#xA;I cannot use the ifup and ifdown command but after a shutdown eth0 got it's IP from my routers dhcp without a problem.&#xA;What I haven't done is set my avahi setting to 0 and then add the eth0 in the /etc/network/interfaces file to see what happens.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I hope my writtings help and not confuse.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Regards&#xA;Elias&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="6169" LastActivityDate="2010-11-16T22:21:07.953" />

I say risk only because the first method is just a lot safer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For the sake of not making things worse, here's a services file from an &quot;almost virgin&quot; upgrade to Maverick:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# Network services, Internet style&#xA;#&#xA;# Note that it is presently the policy of IANA to assign a single well-known&#xA;# port number for both TCP and UDP; hence, officially ports have two entries&#xA;# even if the protocol doesn't support UDP operations.&#xA;#&#xA;# Updated from http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers and other&#xA;# sources like http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/etc/services .&#xA;# New ports will be added on request if they have been officially assigned&#xA;# by IANA and used in the real-world or are needed by a debian package.&#xA;# If you need a huge list of used numbers please install the nmap package.&#xA;&#xA;tcpmux      1/tcp               # TCP port service multiplexer&#xA;echo        7/tcp&#xA;echo        7/udp&#xA;discard     9/tcp       sink null&#xA;discard     9/udp       sink null&#xA;systat      11/tcp      users&#xA;daytime     13/tcp&#xA;daytime     13/udp&#xA;netstat     15/tcp&#xA;qotd        17/tcp      quote&#xA;msp     18/tcp              # message send protocol&#xA;msp     18/udp&#xA;chargen     19/tcp      ttytst source&#xA;chargen     19/udp      ttytst source&#xA;ftp-data    20/tcp&#xA;ftp     21/tcp&#xA;fsp     21/udp      fspd&#xA;ssh     22/tcp              # SSH Remote Login Protocol&#xA;ssh     22/udp&#xA;telnet      23/tcp&#xA;smtp        25/tcp      mail&#xA;time        37/tcp      timserver&#xA;time        37/udp      timserver&#xA;rlp     39/udp      resource    # resource location&#xA;nameserver  42/tcp      name        # IEN 116&#xA;whois       43/tcp      nicname&#xA;tacacs      49/tcp              # Login Host Protocol (TACACS)&#xA;tacacs      49/udp&#xA;re-mail-ck  50/tcp              # Remote Mail Checking Protocol&#xA;re-mail-ck  50/udp&#xA;domain      53/tcp              # name-domain server&#xA;domain      53/udp&#xA;mtp     57/tcp              # deprecated&#xA;tacacs-ds   65/tcp              # TACACS-Database Service&#xA;tacacs-ds   65/udp&#xA;bootps      67/tcp              # BOOTP server&#xA;bootps      67/udp&#xA;bootpc      68/tcp              # BOOTP client&#xA;bootpc      68/udp&#xA;tftp        69/udp&#xA;gopher      70/tcp              # Internet Gopher&#xA;gopher      70/udp&#xA;rje     77/tcp      netrjs&#xA;finger      79/tcp&#xA;www     80/tcp      http        # WorldWideWeb HTTP&#xA;www     80/udp              # HyperText Transfer Protocol&#xA;link        87/tcp      ttylink&#xA;kerberos    88/tcp      kerberos5 krb5 kerberos-sec # Kerberos v5&#xA;kerberos    88/udp      kerberos5 krb5 kerberos-sec # Kerberos v5&#xA;supdup      95/tcp&#xA;hostnames   101/tcp     hostname    # usually from sri-nic&#xA;iso-tsap    102/tcp     tsap        # part of ISODE&#xA;acr-nema    104/tcp     dicom       # Digital Imag. &amp;amp; Comm. 300&#xA;acr-nema    104/udp     dicom       # Digital Imag. &amp;amp; Comm. 300&#xA;csnet-ns    105/tcp     cso-ns      # also used by CSO name server&#xA;csnet-ns    105/udp     cso-ns&#xA;rtelnet     107/tcp             # Remote Telnet&#xA;rtelnet     107/udp&#xA;pop2        109/tcp     postoffice pop-2 # POP version 2&#xA;pop2        109/udp     pop-2&#xA;pop3        110/tcp     pop-3       # POP version 3&#xA;pop3        110/udp     pop-3&#xA;sunrpc      111/tcp     portmapper  # RPC 4.0 portmapper&#xA;sunrpc      111/udp     portmapper&#xA;auth        113/tcp     authentication tap ident&#xA;sftp        115/tcp&#xA;uucp-path   117/tcp&#xA;nntp        119/tcp     readnews untp   # USENET News Transfer Protocol&#xA;ntp     123/tcp&#xA;ntp     123/udp             # Network Time Protocol&#xA;pwdgen      129/tcp             # PWDGEN service&#xA;pwdgen      129/udp             # PWDGEN service&#xA;loc-srv     135/tcp     epmap       # Location Service&#xA;loc-srv     135/udp     epmap&#xA;netbios-ns  137/tcp             # NETBIOS Name Service&#xA;netbios-ns  137/udp&#xA;netbios-dgm 138/tcp             # NETBIOS Datagram Service&#xA;netbios-dgm 138/udp&#xA;netbios-ssn 139/tcp             # NETBIOS session service&#xA;netbios-ssn 139/udp&#xA;imap2       143/tcp     imap        # Interim Mail Access P 2 and 4&#xA;imap2       143/udp     imap&#xA;snmp        161/tcp             # Simple Net Mgmt Protocol&#xA;snmp        161/udp             # Simple Net Mgmt Protocol&#xA;snmp-trap   162/tcp     snmptrap    # Traps for SNMP&#xA;snmp-trap   162/udp     snmptrap    # Traps for SNMP&#xA;cmip-man    163/tcp             # ISO mgmt over IP (CMOT)&#xA;cmip-man    163/udp&#xA;cmip-agent  164/tcp&#xA;cmip-agent  164/udp&#xA;mailq       174/tcp         # Mailer transport queue for Zmailer&#xA;mailq       174/udp         # Mailer transport queue for Zmailer&#xA;xdmcp       177/tcp             # X Display Mgr.

The only way you'll get it in a supported way is by waiting for Ubuntu to pull it into the Ubuntu kernel. As this is really just making it to the kernel mailing list, it's fresh to the point where all testing is fairly anecdotal and I imagine it will be some time before it's ready to be mass-deployed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Somewhere between the next release and a long time would be my uneducated guess.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But if you're a big boy (or girl) and you can cope with a broken kernel if things go wrong (ie you know how to use grub), you can patch and compile your own kernel.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Download a patch. There are different versions but the best on its own was posted below by another user: &lt;a href=&quot;http://pavlinux.ru/krnl/sched_autogroup-2.6.36.patch.bz2&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://pavlinux.ru/krnl/sched_autogroup-2.6.36.patch.bz2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Download the kernel source for the version your patch targets. In this case 2.6.36. You can get vanilla (that is original, unmodified by the Ubuntu kernel team) kernel sources from &lt;a href=&quot;http://kernel.org&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;kernel.org&lt;/a&gt; and extract it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Save the patch somewhere and apply it by &lt;code&gt;cd&lt;/code&gt;ing into the kernel source dir and running: &lt;code&gt;patch -p1 &amp;lt; /path/to/patch&lt;/code&gt; (you need the &lt;code&gt;patch&lt;/code&gt; package for this... Which I think comes as part of &lt;code&gt;build-essential&lt;/code&gt; if it's not installed by default)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile#Alternate%20Build%20Method%3a%20The%20Old-Fashioned%20Debian%20Way&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;And then continue with the rest of the &quot;old fashioned&quot; build process...&lt;/a&gt; I really wouldn't bother with the newer methods as they're aimed at Ubuntu/Debian-sanctioned kernel sources... Plus the old way seems easier (to me).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Building kernels isn't hard but you can mess it up if you stray too far from the accepted path. And you  won't get official support if things go wrong.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Alternatively, there are more and more kernels emerging with the patch built in (or at least in the source tree, awaiting the next release).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I believe &lt;a href=&quot;http://zen-kernel.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Zen Kernel&lt;/a&gt; has this patch in their tree but I'm not sure if it's in any builds yet.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://liquorix.net/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Liquorix Kernel&lt;/a&gt; has this baked in now too.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note: both these kernels (and probably others too) deviate from the Ubuntu way of doing kernels somewhat. You may find (as I did when I moved to Liquorix) that CPU frequency scaling stops working or suspend gets broken. There are usually fixes and workarounds, but chances are you won't get support from AskUbuntu or the rest of the Ubuntu communtiy as we can't check every single kernel out there.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="449" LastEditorUserId="449" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-11-18T15:13:16.500" LastActivityDate="2010-11-18T15:13:16.500" CommentCount="3" />

Additionally, if the patch will benefit the entire Kernel Community, it should go upstream first.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once the patch has been accepted upstream, it will eventually make its way into the Ubuntu kernel automatically.

Once you close the media player, it will release its handle on the file data and will therefore be deleted.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can verify this with the &lt;code&gt;lsof&lt;/code&gt; command, which lists open files. If you run lsof, your movie file should be listed as being open by the player, but it will have &quot;DEL&quot; next to it which means it has been deleted even though it is still open.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is actually all a useful thing and would mean you could actually recover open files that you've deleted, although that would probably be best left to another question :)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It comes about because (as I understand) files consist of the data itself, and handles (location in the filesystem) to the file. Normally you only have a single handle for a file, but you can create others using the &lt;code&gt;ln&lt;/code&gt; command to create a hard link. This creates what appears to be an identical copy of your file but is actually just adding another handle - so you haven't used twice the disk space. You can check this by looking at the inode of the two files - this tells you where the data actually is. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So e.g. in a terminal window:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;ln existing_movie.avi movie_hardlink.avi&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;ls -i&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The -i argument to ls shows the inode information for files - they should be identical.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When you delete one of those files, the data will remain because the other one still retains a handle to the inode. Once you delete the second file, the inode has no remaining handles/references and so is deleted/marked as unused space. This is directly analogous to the case when your player has the movie open, except that the second handle here is within the running program rather than a second file in the filesystem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="6186" LastEditorUserId="235" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-11-17T13:41:58.183" LastActivityDate="2010-11-17T13:41:58.183" CommentCount="1" />

This would be:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;xmodmap -e 'keycode 43 = h H h H Left Hstroke'&#xA;xmodmap -e 'keycode 44 = j J j J Up J'&#xA;xmodmap -e 'keycode 45 = k K k K Down ampersand'&#xA;xmodmap -e 'keycode 46 = l L l L Right Lstroke'&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The Alt-Gr with shift entries aren't strictly necessary of course, I'm just preserving the values that already exist. You can find the keycode values by running the &lt;code&gt;xev&lt;/code&gt; command from a terminal. &lt;code&gt;xev&lt;/code&gt; displays X events, so you can press a key and find out information about it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To make this setting permanent, you can add the following to .Xmodmap in your home directory&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;keycode 43 = h H h H Left Hstroke&#xA;keycode 44 = j J j J Up J&#xA;keycode 45 = k K k K Down ampersand&#xA;keycode 46 = l L l L Right Lstroke&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Pressing Alt-Gr certainly isn't as nice as pressing Alt when using hjkl, but you I think you may struggle getting just Alt to work because it is used for menu access. You may be able to use the information in this answer along with the tools mentioned by Fraekkert to bind e.g. Alt-Shift-h instead, which may suit you better.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's also possibly worth noting that you can set vi mode in bash (or whichever shell you use) by using &lt;code&gt;set -o vi&lt;/code&gt;.

Commercial software has better support because of course, you paid, so they have to give you something worth paying for, so to speak. Just a note though, it is not &lt;strong&gt;run&lt;/strong&gt; on wine, but rather &lt;strong&gt;based&lt;/strong&gt; on WINE, and developed from the same code, with some additions and gui features to make it easier for inexperienced/casual users to install software on WINE with it.&#xA;You could of course do quite fine without it (I do), or you may require it for the greater support it offers (this depends on your skill level etc).&#xA;One more thing, paying for such a product as CrossOver Office will support the development of WINE, so it is one of those things where even though you don't &lt;strong&gt;have&lt;/strong&gt; to do it, you do it cause it's for a good purpose =).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Updated answer:&#xA;Is it worth paying for? Yes, and no. If I'm very honest here, it is worth it if you want to help the development of WINE, and it is worth it if you need the support. Yet, (see below) there are alternatives, as always.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In response to your comment:&#xA;You can try various tools for running applications that don't run well out of the box with WINE, for free.&#xA;The best in my personal opinion (and most maintained) is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.playonlinux.com/en/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;PlayOnLinux&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/1m6J2.png&quot; alt=&quot;Playonlinux main window&quot;&gt;&#xA;PlayOnLinux main window.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/yqMFd.png&quot; alt=&quot;alt text&quot;&gt;&#xA;PlayOnLinux install window.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You will find a pretty simple gui for installing many different applications on wine (mostly games, unfortunately).

Headphones can be at any volume you like. I'd put your &quot;speaker&quot; at 100% and your master at ~75%. We are going to save this in a profile now! Hit escape to exit alsamixer.

I called mine noheadph.alsa. Now go back into alsamixer and set your headphone volume up, and your speakers at 0%, leaving master volume wherever you prefer it. Exit alsamixer by hitting escape, and save this profile by typing &lt;code&gt;alsactl -f filename store&lt;/code&gt; except this time, replace &quot;filename&quot; with something relevant, such as &quot;headph.alsa&quot;. Now, you can recall/restore to either of these profiles by typing &lt;code&gt;alsactl -f filename restore&lt;/code&gt; obviously replacing &quot;filename&quot; with whatever you named your stored profiles.

I find this much better than the autohide of the GNOME panel because it seems that it shows at the right times more. Docky also reduces space by using icons instead of names for windows and grouping windows by application. These are the settings I use:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/IEQgW.png&quot; alt=&quot;alt text&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These settings can be accessed by clicking the Docky anchor icon, then clicking on the dock to configure. Docky requires compositing to run. If your netbook can't run compiz, &lt;a href=&quot;http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/03/31/enable-metacity-compositing-in-gnome-222/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;enable compositing in Metacity&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Window Selector&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Window selector is a panel applet that shows all your windows in a menu.

I think there are three main scenarios.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you need to keep an eye on IE's rendering of your HTML and CSS, you can use a site such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://browsershots.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Browsershots&lt;/a&gt;. Browsershots in particular is very exhaustive but quite slow, there are a few faster equivalents that will only do most major browsers. Also, you can use &lt;a href=&quot;https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;VNC&lt;/a&gt; for this purpose. VNC is not really suitable for interaction with websites, but just fine for static rendering checks.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you need to test interaction with jQuery-style effects and more complex things, you really need a real local copy of IE, especially if you need to see how responsive an UI is. I use VirtualBox for this. Funny ways of installing IE on Linux don't really work because font rendering and options might be different from vanilla Windows installs. If you need to do this right, you need a real Windows machine (and different Windows versions, too). For example, a tricky bit I ran into lately is when using &lt;em&gt;@font-face&lt;/em&gt; server provided fonts. These can vary widely from one platform to the next.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And last but not least, you might need functionality testing (i.e. ¿Did this search box break in the last update?). You can do automated testing of functionality using specialized tools like &lt;a href=&quot;http://seleniumhq.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Selenium&lt;/a&gt; or the newer &lt;a href=&quot;http://sikuli.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Sikuli&lt;/a&gt;. With these you can have Windows tests running automatically on a dedicated machine, but you won't get feedback on small rendering glitches and such.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="5968" LastEditorUserId="5968" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-11-19T16:55:15.573" LastActivityDate="2010-11-19T16:55:15.573" CommentCount="1" />

The kernel, xorg and desktop developers have an interest in making sure video drivers work and install easily because without them, well, you can't see much. Printers are relatively rare peripherals compared to video cards. Everyone has a video adapter, not everyone has a printer. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Plus there's a much wider diversity of printers than there are video cards. People tend to keep printers for longer than they keep video cards, because printers are often useful beyond the few years that a video card is &quot;current&quot; for.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The other factor is the wide diversity of hardware vendors. For video cards there's really only three main players, Intel, nVidia and AMD/ATI, with a lot of smaller companies like VIA and neomagic. There's a gazillion printer manufacturers out there, and each one has a bazillion printers to make drivers for (although most are very similar). Net result is that each printer vendor has their own license terms, driver installation method and relationship with the open source community.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some vendors 'get it', others don't.

The above is just my shallow, minimal summary of the talk, which of course doesn't do it justice! &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In addition, you can disable a few of the programs that are automatically started:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Go to &lt;em&gt;System → Preferences → Startup Applications&lt;/em&gt; and disable any you don't need:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/hErSZ.png&quot; alt=&quot;alt text&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As I've said, this will not do &lt;em&gt;much&lt;/em&gt; in the way of reducing boot time. For me, it reduces it by about a quarter of a second, which is more than the standard deviation on DHCP, and it's done while other things are being started.

And it's made my machine boot in 11 seconds. I want to stress again, even the cheapest 16gb ssd will (probably) do this (and 16 gigabytes are more than enough for &lt;code&gt;/&lt;/code&gt;, if you have &lt;code&gt;/home&lt;/code&gt; on a different drive).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To see what processes are taking the most time (be it I/O or CPU bound), open a Terminal via &lt;em&gt;Applications → Accessories → Terminal&lt;/em&gt; and type&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;sudo apt-get install bootchart&#xA;sudo update-initramfs -u -k $(uname -r) &#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then reboot, afterwards, open a file browser and navigate to &lt;code&gt;/var/log/bootchart/&lt;/code&gt;, you should see a png image, showing you what processes are problematic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/Fe1u0.png&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Here's mine&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As you can see, there isn't much blue (CPU Utilisation) in it.

The most CPU is spent on mutter (this is ubuntu-netbook-edition), the ubuntu single sign-on service for Ubuntu One and launching Unity (about a second altogether). On a normal Ubuntu Desktop installation, those would not count towards your boot time, it'd stop after GDM (the login screen) is launched.

That means, for example, your DVD Drive is a file (/dev/sdb1), your keyboard is a file (/dev/input/keyboard) and so on.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another set of those magical files are the TTYs, where TTY stands for Teletype. A Typewriter that sends keystrokes to a computer, which in turn sends letters back to the &lt;em&gt;Type Ball&lt;/em&gt;. This would have represented a physical device, a remote typewriter, in the same way as /dev/lp0 may represent your printer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6f/Terminal-dec-vt100.jpg/220px-Terminal-dec-vt100.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;em&gt;a terminal emulator, the VT100&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The Teletype workstations would have been called &quot;Consoles&quot; or &quot;Terminals&quot;, a virtual terminal, as opposed to a real one, thus is any application or machinery that provides the same functionality as this workplace arrangement - which is accessing the computer by sending keystrokes to it and receiving output back from it, printing it to a piece of paper. You can imagine that a Modem works in a very similar way.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Terminal Emulators, such as the one pictured above, are cheap and simple computers that &lt;em&gt;emulate&lt;/em&gt; the functionality of a teletype. When we say terminal emulator these days, we - in turn - usually mean a program that emulates the functionality of such a machine.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are still Terminal based computer systems in use. They are in fact getting &lt;a href=&quot;http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;ever more popular&lt;/a&gt;. In the past, the reason for Terminals was that a computer at every desk was completely ridiculous - where computers filled a room and were immensely expensive. Now, it saves money and makes administration easy.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.v3.zdnet.co.uk/i/z5/illo/nw/story_graphics/january07/hp_thinclient_432x345.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;em&gt;a &quot;thin client&quot; – the modern equivalent of the VT100&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I hope that this is helpful.

The difference between TTY1-7 and gnome-terminal is that the system provides the ttys, whereas gnome-terminal and konsole are themselves running on a tty (which is running the graphical subsystem). This abstraction can be nested even deeper (e.g. x-forwarding, using the telnet protocol to act as a terminal, ...), after all, the &lt;em&gt;human—computer interface&lt;/em&gt; acts just like any other file.

The video will load and begin playing fine and eventually stop, as though it is buffering.  However, it usually happens between 40 and 60 seconds into the clip.  The loading indication however shows that it actually isn't buffering anymore of the data, and will just sit there.  If I force the clip forward (e.g. click to start the movie somewhere ahead of the stall point) the clip will usually reload  quickly and begin playing as expected.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Because of the quick load times, and the consistent stop of video, I don't think the problem is related to hardware performance or network throughput.

Rebooting into 10.04 makes the problem disappear.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, one more clue, I also have noticed a higher occurrence of web pages that simply &quot;stop loading&quot; - say, 1/10 clicks while browsing I have to hit &quot;reload&quot; to get the page to load because the page timed out part of the way through. This seems strangely related to the video problem, though is a lot less infuriating.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Help!

The difference is &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt; need to do it.

It's the easiest way :-) But read further in order to understand limitations and advantages of each architecture.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I guess your hardware is pretty recent, so &lt;strong&gt;Ubuntu will just pick up the 4GB of memory even in 32bit&lt;/strong&gt; as it's using a kernel feature called PAE (some release of Ubuntu have a separate kernel for that, check in &lt;code&gt;Synaptic Package Manager&lt;/code&gt; for PAE). &lt;strong&gt;It's really stable&lt;/strong&gt; and you won't regret it, especially for Flash which needs (if you install it the easy way from the repository) a 32bit stack. In my experience, a 64bit OS with Flash 32bit is unstable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But they are a &lt;strong&gt;few limitations on the 32bit version&lt;/strong&gt;, a process (a program) cannot access more than 2GB or sometimes 3GB of memory (depends on kernel and application own memory management such as Java Virtual Machine). This is obviously not a problem for most application. However, I've been using a few GPS tools to build maps. They sometimes (for big maps) need more than 2GB addressable memory. But it's really not common. In addition, 32bit+PAE can be incompatible with some proprietary drivers. They do work perfectly with open source ones, but some times the proprietary/binary drivers can not handle this architecture.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On the other side&lt;/strong&gt;, you can go 64bit and with &lt;code&gt;Ubuntu Software Centre&lt;/code&gt; you can be happy as you have access to a huge library of 64bit applications. However, if you want to use proprietary software on Linux, you need to hope that they support also 64bit. Products like: Adobe Flash, Adobe AIR, Google Talk Plugin, Skype, Amazon MP3 are 32bits only. Some do work if you install the 32bit stack on your 64bit system, but some won't (Amazon MP3) or badly (Adobe Flash). Another drawback of &lt;strong&gt;64bit system is that they use more memory&lt;/strong&gt;. So a same application will use more memory for doing the same thing in a 32bit environment. Sometimes it's a problem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Conclusion is:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;32bit is more compatible&lt;/strong&gt; regarding application (especially proprietary ones like Skype or Flash). PAE does not have impact on applications usually.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;32bit+PAE/64bit you might have problem on both platform with certain binary drivers (usually for WiFi)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If you don't need an application that uses more than 2GB of RAM (create your own map for your GPS), then &lt;strong&gt;you don't need 64bit.

This could be as simple as failing to work at all, or as complicated as a subtly incorrect result [...] Some things aren't bugs, but are missing features that should be reasonably included. Missing features shouldn't be reported as bugs, instead FeatureSpecifications should be written for them. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While it is hard to draw a line separating the two definitions and answer the question &lt;em&gt;is it bugs or missing features?&lt;/em&gt;, it is possible to give some guidelines: &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;if it's a problem that would have many details to address, it's likely to be a feature. For example, the inability to write files safely to a &lt;em&gt;modern Windows partition&lt;/em&gt; is a missing feature. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The inability to write files safely to a &lt;em&gt;ReiserFS partition&lt;/em&gt; would be a bug. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The difference between the two assertions is: the first is more widespread (support modern windows FS) and thus can be view as Missing Feature, while the other emphasizes a unique problem (can't write into ReiserFS) - a specific bug.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you are interested, I recommends you to take a look at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad/GettingInvolved&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;BugSquad team&lt;/a&gt; wiki.

The only exception is if the -n option is specified, and -c, -l, or -L options are not specified. However, even if it is safe to do so, the results printed by e2fsck are not valid if the filesystem is mounted. If e2fsck asks whether or not you should check a filesystem which is mounted, the only correct answer is ''no''. Only experts who really know what they are doing should consider answering this question in any other way.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So if you check a mounted FS with fsck even using the -n option the result may be not valid at all. Don't check mounted filesystems. Use a Live-CD/Live-USB.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you don't check the filesystem while it is mounted, I don't understand why you need to use &lt;code&gt;touch /forcefcsk&lt;/code&gt; you can just unmount it and fix it. But if it is the case and after a fix your FS still have errors then you can consider using :&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;e2fsck -cy /dev/sda5&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That will fix an hard drive related issue called bad blocks you may have (this will take a long time). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you want to check a mounted filesystem, I don't know how to proceed but I think you should create another question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="2834" LastEditorUserId="2834" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-11-26T02:02:06.267" LastActivityDate="2010-11-26T02:02:06.267" CommentCount="5" />

This is why the separation of KDE/GNOME, as described in the post you link to, is much easier to do en-mass.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All the files are stored in /usr/share/applications.  The format of them is very simple, and you can copy any one of them to /home/you/.local/share/applications and it will override that menu entry for that user so you can more easily edit them without needing root privileges.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is no simple way to separate XFCE apps from GNOME, especially since it's often a matter of opinion what you want to see.  This also goes for KDE, since as long as you have the KDE libraries Dolphin, Konquorer, etc. will run in GNOME.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I suppose if you're intent on using the cmd line you could come up with some grep/sed junk to selectively find and replace text inside certain .desktop files, but I think the easiest way would be to copy the files you want to edit to ~/.local/share/applications so they don't get overwritten by updates and edit them by hand.  Unless you've got a gazillion things installed it shouldn't be too difficult to cherry pick what you want.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As a side note, editing .desktop files is annoyingly difficult when using Nautilus.  You either have to drag and drop them into a text editor, open them through the command line or write a Nautilus script that directs the file to a text editor.  Other file managers do not suffer this problem, so I guess it's a bug.  Also, a .desktop file has a different name when it's executable, which can also be confusing, since it's not the actual name of the file.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The menu works under the freedektop.org specification, which you can learn more about here: &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/index.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/index.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;EDIT: I forgot about this when I originally answered this question and it's a pretty significant caveat.  This only works when using the correct panels/menus.  For example, if you're using xfwm with the GNOME panel you will see the all the &quot;ShowOnlyIn=GNOME&quot; items and vice versa.

Certainly not for natty, and likely not natty+1 either.  The exact schedule is doing to depend a lot on how quickly a lot of development work on compiz, unity, gtk and other bits can get done.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;b) Even when we do switch, we'll be keeping X.org available for legacy applications.  I don't know how long we'll keep it, but likely for several years at least.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;c) Some drivers (like -fglrx and -nvidia) won't work with Wayland.  There's also unusual graphics hardware, virtualization environments, and so on that won't meet Wayland's requirements for some time.  So it's likely some &quot;retro mode&quot; that runs X just like today will be available, for users who prefer not to use Wayland.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;d) Upstream X.org developers are supportive of moving the ecosystem to something Wayland-based.  I would predict that eventually upstream will simply stop developing/supporting X.org, and that will be what brings X.org to an end.  When will that happen?  10 years out?  Maybe, I don't know.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In any case, don't panic.  X.org isn't going away any time soon.

If something awful happens to the source instance, you can roll back to the previous snapshot on a brand new instance. If you want to archive a snapshot you can boot another instance with it attached, and use something like tar+s3 without negatively impacting the production box.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are a number of problems with this approach which may not be apparent right now.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;You are locking yourself into a single technology. If you get this working on Ubuntu 10.10, and you want to go to 11.04, you have to upgrade the source system, then snapshot it again. Likewise, if you use EC2's EBS snapshots, you need a new solution if you go to rackspace cloud.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;You have no change history if you use rsync. If you modify something on system 1, then something breaks, you'll likely break your backup system too when you rsync.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Rsync can be extremely high-impact on your production system.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What you really want is a config management system, and data high availability.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'd recommend you choose a config management system, like puppet (in main!), chef, or cfengine.

Add in 'etckeeper' and you have history.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For data high availability, rsync should work, and be much more straight forward as you can just copy the data you want to. There's also drbd to have what amounts to a &quot;network RAID1&quot;.

Quite often it'll just work out of the box; if not - as you've done - you'll need to download the drivers via the &lt;em&gt;Additional Drivers&lt;/em&gt; tool. Make sure the driver is selected as &lt;strong&gt;Enabled&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Make sure you have a good physical set up. This includes restricting the amount of walls between and the distance to your access point. When troubleshooting, Your access point should ideally be next to the computer. This is to rule out your computer just being too far from the AP. Different wireless adapters vary in how good they are at handling weak signals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Make sure, before you start troubleshooting, you know a bit about your network. This induces the ESSID of your wireless network, and the passwords and so on. Sometimes, you can mistype a password, have some special character in the ESSID or something like that. Best to double check.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If You don't see your access point&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If network manager, even after some time, doesn't show your access point, there may be something wrong not with your network settings in Ubuntu, but with the wireless network itself. These are some common problems:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Access point is configured to only provide, for example, an 802.11n connection (that's&#xA;the 300MB/s one), when your &lt;strong&gt;hardware doesn't support N&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Access Point is using a &lt;strong&gt;special kind of connection&lt;/strong&gt;, designed to work with Wireless Adapters from the same manufacturer. These often were &quot;Draft N&quot; wireless solution. They work only some times (say with your play station), but a wireless driver that relies on standards doesn't know how to deal with them&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Try to set up your access point as a normal, &lt;strong&gt;802.11a, 54Mbit/s, 5GHz&lt;/strong&gt; wireless connection. All routers will have this option. To access your router, you will normally have to open up a URL, provided in the manual for your access point, in a browser. This'll be &lt;em&gt;something like&lt;/em&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://192.168.0.1/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://192.168.0.1/&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;You've used a &lt;strong&gt;method of encryption&lt;/strong&gt; that you Wireless hardware doesn't understand. Sometimes, very old wireless hardware doesn't understand WPA2. Make sure yours does.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some routers have &lt;strong&gt;a special button on the front&lt;/strong&gt;, that needs to be used to authenticate  a device to use the network. An LED will be flashing on the router while you're trying to connect. You can safely disable this feature in the Router's configuration, if you're&#xA;using a Network protected by WPA2. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Check which channels are allowed by your router. Some wireless routers, as sBlatt points out, support channel 11, which is not supported by some wireless adapters. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If You can't connect to your access point&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Delete the connection that Network Manager has got configured. Switch off the Wifi and switch it back on again, after a few minutes there should be all the wireless connections you could connect to.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Select yours, if it appears, and be very careful when entering the password.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now onto some other common issues.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If Network devices are not detected&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The Network Manager manages devices that are &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; already managed via manual configuration in /etc/network/interfaces. Should you have manually configured a device using this method, you'll need to remove it.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If the Wireless connection fails&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;There's a possibility that your network driver doesn't properly connect because of a compatibility issue with wpa_supplicant. This is the software that manages Key-Exchange and generally provides the framework to establish 802.11 connections. A possible fix, because it's always getting better, may be to install a newer version than is available in the Ubuntu repositories.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;You can try to install &lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.debian.org/unstable/net/wpasupplicant&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; the version from the Debian unstable repositories&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If none of this has worked:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Try some other hardware. Get another notebook, for example, and boot from an &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Ubuntu CD&lt;/a&gt;. If you can't connect there either, you can be fairly certain there's something wrong with the wireless access point.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Carefully note your hardware and all configuration and &lt;strong&gt;file a bug&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &#xA;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I can try to add more specifics to this answer you if you provide the following information:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;What kind of Router or Access Point do you have?

The control connection is (normally) set up on port. This connection is used for authentication and sending commands to the server. Data transfer happens on a different connection. Normally this is on port 20. What happens is that the client requests data from the server on port 21, then the server opens a connection back to the client on port 20 to transfer the data. This is where a firewall on the machine running the ftp client can get in the way (it may block the incoming connection from the ftp server). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;FTP has a passive mode that is supposed to cause the ftp server to transfer data to the client over the control connection instead of opening a new connection for the data transfer.

In which case… I would say it is part of the excitement of running an alpha/beta. Try to understand why it freezes, write/add to a bug report. In order to speed Firefox's startup in these, simply tell it to not reload the same tabs when it reopens. (You can still find these tabs in history).

It will open the URL (and assume all goes well) with &lt;em&gt;the first one it recognises as a command that is available on your system&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;After this, hotot can't do anything about error that is thrown by the software that was selected as probably being your default browser. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There's a &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=580835&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;bug in Fedora's xdg-utils&lt;/a&gt; package which addressed an issue you might have; namely xdg-open not working properly with LXDE. The bug has been fixed in fedora 14, but it probably hasn't been pulled down by the people at Lubuntu.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So: it seems your bug report in Hotot is invalid, since they are doing everything properly. You will just have to wait for Lubuntu's version of xdg-utils to catch up to the current upstream version (as of the 28th of October).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; file a bug against Lubuntu&lt;/a&gt;.

When you run out of RAM and you have swap enabled, things slow down (sometimes a lot, sometimes just a little bit, depending on what gets shoved in there) but you're able to log in, find the problem and try to fix it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When you run out of RAM and have no swap, processes die, things stall and a lot of the time your only option is a reboot. But until you do that reboot, things will probably break.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In my world, broken is far worse than slow.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of course if you find your system is constantly using large portions of swap (it will very often use &lt;em&gt;some&lt;/em&gt; just as a way of moving out old cached stuff), you obviously have a problem (&quot;insert RAM please&quot;), but having it as a safety net is definitely recommended.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In response to the comment from SpamapS:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In the world of &quot;successful websites&quot;, you have hot failovers, load balancing and other tools that allow a machine to explode and have zero effect on the rest of the site. But that takes a lot of cash. Having redundant hardware isn't economical for most sites, even if they pull in money.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I completely disagree with your comment on uptime. &lt;strong&gt;In a traditional e-commerce set-up if people can't see your site, they &lt;em&gt;can't&lt;/em&gt; buy from you.&lt;/strong&gt; This isn't just e-commerce, all online commercial interests take a lot more flak if you're down for any sort of period. I know because I host sites and services for companies and run my own sites. Slow = grumpy but Down = fury. Even if you only go down for a minute at a time, if a user sees a &quot;down-for-maintenance&quot; notice more than a couple of times, they assume you can't keep the site up.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A slow server is less than ideal but swap isn't there to be run on all the time, it's a last resort to allow things to keep running while you fix them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You also assume there is only one service running on the machine. Again this might be true if you have megabucks to split out everything but in the real world, things get lumped together. Multiple websites, ssh daemons, ftp servers, email servers, etc.  One process leaking into swap might not even effect another service. Without swap, everything has an equal chance of instant, random termination. You have no control over it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of course swap isn't the only answer. You need monitoring to alert you when you're out of ram, but just pulling the plug and rebooting isn't the answer for the majority of people.

And there are clearly some differences that are very relevant to deploying each.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think the prime consideration and comparison between debian stable and an Ubuntu LTS is security and general package updates.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Debian &quot;stable&quot; releases are supported for a year after the next stable release. So if a stable comes out every two years, and you started on a stable release right at its launch, you get three years of updates:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The security team tries to support a stable distribution for about one year after the next stable distribution has been released, except when another stable distribution is released within this year. It is not possible to support three distributions; supporting two simultaneously is already difficult enough.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You should note that the debian cadence is not guaranteed. Stable releases come out when they're ready. This could mean you get anywhere from 18 months to 18 years of support. This makes it very unpredictable as you won't know when you need to upgrade until you know when the next stable will be finalised.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Compare that to a &lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Ubuntu LTS release&lt;/a&gt;, desktop updates are very similar but for the server applications and kernel, you get a mammoth 5 years of support, regardless of any new LTS releases in that time:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;A new LTS version is usually released every 2 years. With the Long Term Support (LTS) version you get 3 years support on Ubuntu Desktop, and 5 years on Ubuntu Server.

The aim being to more accurately reflect the contents of the package - the package doesn't contain the actual flash player, only an installer that automatically downloads and installs a copy of the plugin. (The file downloaded is the tarball as provided on the Adobe website, but in this case the file is mirrored on Canonical servers.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The reasons you still see &lt;em&gt;flashplugin-nonfree&lt;/em&gt; in Synaptic is for backwards compatibility. It is a transitional metapackage with no actual content, all it does is depends on and install &lt;em&gt;flashplugin-installer&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So to cut a long story short, there is absolutely no difference between the &lt;em&gt;flashplugin-installer&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;flashplugin-nonfree&lt;/em&gt; packages.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for the &lt;em&gt;adobe-flashplugin&lt;/em&gt; package - this is provided in the Canonical Partners repository.

Since most people coming here are probably not in that situation, but just getting the grub rescue shell at boot and can't boot Windows or their Wubi install at all, I've remade the instructions for the normal case. The answer for Lucasmus's question was basically to follow what's now steps 2 through 5 below.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is unfortunately a known bug in Wubi &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/610898&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/610898&lt;/a&gt;. I've submitted a patch to hopefully prevent future users from having Wubi render their drive completely unbootable but until that or another fix is accepted this is what you need to do (in Wubi) to get Windows and Ubuntu booting and prevent this from happening again:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;1: Boot from an Ubuntu LiveCD and run &lt;code&gt;sudo software-properties-gtk -e universe &amp;amp;&amp;amp; sudo apt-get update &amp;amp;&amp;amp; sudo apt-get install mbr &amp;amp;&amp;amp; sudo install-mbr /dev/sda&lt;/code&gt;.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you have more than one hard drive you will need to change &lt;code&gt;/dev/sda&lt;/code&gt; in that last command to the drive windows is on. But it will always be a drive, never a partition. So &lt;code&gt;/dev/sdb&lt;/code&gt; might be appropriate but &lt;em&gt;never&lt;/em&gt; &lt;code&gt;/dev/sdb1&lt;/code&gt; (doing the latter could overwrite Window's PBR making it even harder to boot back into windows).  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now you should be able to boot into Windows or your Wubi install like before. If you want to continue using Wubi then follow the next steps to be sure that you don't get into an unbootable situation again.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;2: Boot into your Wubi install and run &lt;code&gt;sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc&lt;/code&gt; This will bring up some dialogs with questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;3: For the first question &lt;code&gt;The following Linux command line was extracted from /etc/default/grub or the 'kopt' parameter in GRUB Legacy's menu.lst.  Please verify that it is correct, and modify it if necessary.&lt;/code&gt; Leave the field at its default (probably blank) and press enter to continue to the next question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;4: For the second question &lt;code&gt;The following string will be used as Linux parameters for the default menu entry but not for the recovery mode.&lt;/code&gt; again leave it at the default (probably &quot;quiet splash&quot;) and press enter to continue&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;5: This question &lt;code&gt;...GRUB install devices:&lt;/code&gt; is the important one. Make sure that you uncheck everything but &lt;code&gt;/dev/loop0&lt;/code&gt;. You can check/uncheck an entry with the space bar, and change entries with the arrow keys.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you press enter before unchecking /dev/sda from this list your computer will become unbootable again.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now you can safely update/upgrade your Wubi install without worrying about your computer becoming unbootable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="6618" LastEditorUserId="6618" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-12-03T01:49:43.613" LastActivityDate="2010-12-03T01:49:43.613" />

We've become so accustom to the display server protocal, X11, supporting network transparency, font rendering (hardly ever used anymore), drawing of polygons and archs (also hardly ever used anymore)... that we simply expect that that's what a display server does.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Wayland is a display server, and &lt;em&gt;only&lt;/em&gt; a display server. It composites buffers to the screen using a very basic protocol, and leaves all other features to a different level, they are out of the scope of Wayland.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One way to think of it is to ask a similar question about the sound architecture in Linux rather than the graphics architecture.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Does ALSA support network transparency? The answer is no, that's outside the scope of ALSA. But you can still use network transparency in linux, that's why we have pulseaudio.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your question is slightly different, but I think is still based on the idea that this is something Wayland itself should support.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Can ALSA have network transparency implemented as a plugin? I would answer no, because I wouldn't consider pulseaudio to be a &quot;plugin&quot; for ALSA, but rather something that runs on top of ALSA.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So &quot;Can Wayland have network transparency implemented as a plugin&quot;? No, but that doesn't in any way mean that you won't be able to use network transparency with Wayland.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Xorg can run on top of Wayland, and just as efficiently as if Xorg itself were the display server. So you can still use &quot;ssh -X&quot; and get a local window for a remote app, running right alongside all your other local windows that may be native Wayland clients.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So Wayland will in no way prevent you from using X11 applications remotely, exactly as you do today. And in addition it allows efficient implementations of other protocols for network transparency, like RDP, VNC, and even HTML5: &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2010/11/23/gtk3-vs-html5/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2010/11/23/gtk3-vs-html5/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I hope that short novel answers your question :)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="6618" LastActivityDate="2010-11-30T05:51:40.557" CommentCount="1" />

It's a script that duplicates the current ssh connection, finds your working directory on the remote machine and copies back the file you specify to the local machine. It needs 2 very small scripts (1 remote, 1 local) and 2 lines in your ssh config. The steps are as follows:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;1) Add these 2 lines to your ~/.ssh/config&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;ControlMaster auto &lt;br&gt;&#xA;ControlPath ~/.ssh/socket-%r@%h:%p&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now if you have an ssh connection to machineX open, you wont need&#xA;passwords to open another one.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;2) Make a 1-line script on the remote machine called ~/.grabCat.sh&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;#!/bin/bash&lt;br&gt;&#xA;cat &quot;$(pwdx $(pgrep -u $(whoami) bash) | grep -o '/.*' | tail -n 1)&quot;/$1&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;3) Make a script on the local machine called ~/.grab.sh&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;#!/bin/bash&lt;br&gt;&#xA;[ -n &quot;$3&quot; ] &amp;amp;&amp;amp; dir=&quot;$3&quot; || dir=&quot;.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;ssh &quot;$1&quot; &quot;.grabCat.sh $2&quot; &gt; &quot;$dir/$2&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;4) and make an alias for grab.sh in (~/.bashrc or wherever)&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;alias grab=~/.grab.sh&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That's it, all done. Now if you're logged in to &quot;machineX:/some/directory&quot;, just fire up a new terminal and type&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;grab machineX filename&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That puts the file in your current working directory on the local machine.

There are two parts to each kernel image - the normal one, which you boot up with, and the recovery image, which is why the menu increases by two entries with each update. The number of older kernels doesn't usually go beyond three (plus the respective recovery images, for a total of six images) so the size of your boot menu should be fixed from now on.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can stop the older ones from appearing by editing your grub menu file, by typing&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;into a terminal and commenting them out with a &lt;code&gt;#&lt;/code&gt; symbol in front of them (look around the file for examples). I assume you know how to do since you were able to set Windows as the default. You can also remove them to free up disk space if you're sure you won't need them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The safest way, in my mind anyway, to do this is to install &lt;a href=&quot;http://ubuntu-tweak.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Ubuntu Tweak&lt;/a&gt;, which contains an option to remove redundant kernel images.

The first is that when you encounter a serious problem (usually related to hardware and usually when it's not working) the best course of action is to boot using a previous kernel image to see if the problem is resolved there. Updates to the kernel can have a nasty habit of breaking parts of one's system. The other reason is that the 'recovery' image in can be quite useful, especially if you forget your password.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="2405" LastEditorUserId="2405" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-12-14T12:39:09.400" LastActivityDate="2010-12-14T12:39:09.400" CommentCount="5" />

If you need a GUI, try Unison or LuckyBackup, which are based around the concept of Rsync.  Unison and LuckyBackup are both in the repositories.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;An example of rsync might be :&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;rsync -vxtr /home/scaine/Pictures/&#xA;  /home/OtherUser/Pictures/&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;...which would synchronise my Pictures directory with OtherUser's Pictures directory.  The options I've specified will verify any copies, preserve timestamps/permissions during copy and will traverse subdirectories where found.  Do &quot;man rsync&quot; for more options.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for connecting your PCs together - either put them on a switch/hub or use the crossover cable then share the directories via samba.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;EDIT :&#xA;Some good points to make if the aim is to &quot;mirror&quot; the two PCs.&#xA;This command will only &quot;add&quot; files from source to destination.  If you need to delete, then you'll need the -delete option in there too.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On investigation, it appears that Rsync does &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; handle mirroring particularly well.  See &lt;a href=&quot;http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3641181/does-rsync-ignore-file-timestamps-and-automatically-overwrite-on-client-if-file-i&quot;&gt;this to realise that you will probably find older files overwriting younger files&lt;/a&gt; during this update!  Worse, even if you get the -update option to work and prevent this behaviour, it won't &quot;update&quot; the older with the younger file - it will just &quot;skip&quot; it.  Hardly ideal.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally, to perform two way sync, you'll need to run the same command but reverse the source/dest.  Of course, this is of limited use now, since your first command (assuming you used that -delete option) will have deleted any file on the destination that didn't exist on the source.&#xA;Unison handles the two-way sync quite well, from memory.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you're seriously trying to keep multiple edits in sync, then a Dropbox solution is the best way forward.  If you can take another look at either UbuntuOne or Dropbox, symlinking might be a solution - only symlink your documents folder, say, while keeping Pictures and Music off One/Dropbox and using this rsync/unison solution for the big stuff?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="861" LastEditorUserId="861" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-12-01T14:46:22.040" LastActivityDate="2010-12-01T14:46:22.040" CommentCount="2" />

It aims to ensure that all of the Processes and their threads get a fair share of computing time. I won't go into scheduling too much (it's really complicated). But in the end there is something called a &lt;em&gt;run queue&lt;/em&gt;. This is where all the instructions of all of the processes line up to wait for their turn to be executed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Any process puts it's &quot;tasks&quot; on the run queue, and once the processor's ready, it pops them off and executes them. When a program goes to sleep, for example, it removes itself from the run queue and returns to the &quot;end of the line&quot; once it's ready to run again.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sorting on this queue has to do with the processes' &lt;em&gt;Priority&lt;/em&gt; (also called &quot;nice value&quot; - i.e. a process is &lt;em&gt;nice&lt;/em&gt; about system resources). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The length of the queue determines the &lt;strong&gt;Load&lt;/strong&gt; of the system. A load of 2.5 for example means that there are 2.5 instructions for every instruction the CPU can deal with in &lt;em&gt;real time&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On Linux, by the way, this load is calculated in 10ms intervals (by default). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now onto the Percentage values of CPU utilisation:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Imagine you have two clocks, one is called &lt;code&gt;t&lt;/code&gt; and it represents &lt;em&gt;real time&lt;/em&gt;. It measures a second for every second. The other clock we call &lt;code&gt;c&lt;/code&gt; . It only runs if there is processing to do. That means, only when a process calculates something does the clock run. This is also called CPU time. Each and every process on the system 'has got' one of those.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The processor utilisation can now be calculated for a single process:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/lFnVD.png&quot; alt=&quot;U = c/t = 0.5s / 1s = 0.5&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;or for all processes:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/FBrWo.png&quot; alt=&quot;alt text&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On a multi core machine, this may result in a value of 3.9 of course, because the CPU can calculate four seconds worth of computation every second, if utilised perfectly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Wikipedia provides this example:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;A software application running in&#xA;  6-CPU UNIX machine creates three UNIX&#xA;  processes for fulfilling the user&#xA;  requirement. Each of these three&#xA;  processes create two threads. Work of&#xA;  software application is evenly&#xA;  distributed on 6 independent threads&#xA;  of execution created for the&#xA;  application. If no wait for resources&#xA;  is involved, Total CPU time is&#xA;  expected to be six times Elapsed real&#xA;  time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here's a small python snippet that does this&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; import time&#xA;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; t = time.time()&#xA;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; c = time.clock()&#xA;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; # the next line will take a while to compute&#xA;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; tuple(tuple(i**0.2 for i in range(600)) for i in range(6000))&#xA;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; print (time.clock() / (time.time() - t)) * 100, &quot;%&quot;&#xA;66.9384021612 %&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In a perfect world, you could infer from this that system load is 100 - 66.93 = 33,1%. (But in reality that'd be wrong because of complex things like I/O wait, scheduling inefficiencies and so on)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In contrast to &lt;em&gt;load&lt;/em&gt;, these calculations will &lt;em&gt;always&lt;/em&gt; result in a value between 0 and the number of processors, i.e. between 0 and 1 or 0 to 100%. There is now no way to differentiate between a machine that is running three tasks, utilising 100% cpu, and a machine running a million tasks, getting barely any work done on any single one of them, also at 100%. If you're, for instance, trying to balance a bunch of processes on many computers, cpu utilisation is next to useless. Load is what you want there.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now in reality, there is more than one of those processing time clocks. There's one for waiting on I/O for example. So you could also calculate I/O resource utilisation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This may not have been helpful regarding the original question, but I hope it's interesting. :)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1067" LastEditorUserId="1067" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-12-01T09:38:50.050" LastActivityDate="2010-12-01T09:38:50.050" CommentCount="2" />

  <row Id="15718" PostTypeId="1" CreationDate="2010-12-01T16:29:21.470" Score="1" ViewCount="91" Body="&lt;p&gt;First of, let me apologize for this getting a bit technical.  Several weeks ago, I found that while using NPR's media player (e.g. click on '&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.npr.org/2010/11/11/131244107/friday-live-chat-with-danger-mouse-composer-daniele-luppi-at-1-p-m-et&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Listen to the Show&lt;/a&gt;' - this is what I've been using as a test) the stream would suddenly halt after a minute or three.  I could not get the stream to restart without reloading the page.  Now, I assumed this was an issue with NPR's player and Linux (or just a bug in their stuff in general) so I began to dig, the following is what I have tried to date (please note, the tldr; option is to skip to the latest thing as I think I know what is causing the problem).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note: All testing has been done, for consistency purposes, on a clean install of Chromium with no pluggins running.  My machine is Ubuntu 10.10x64.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;First thing I always try, I disabled all firewall stuff on the system (UFW, default deny all, allow ssh).  No change, firewall back up for all additional tests unless otherwise noted.  In any case, UFW is stateful, so connections it started on a non-specified on different ports will continue to work.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I deleted my ~/.macromeda and ~/.adobe folders, restarted (just to be sure) and tried.  Program still froze.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I decided the problem might be with my install of flash, so I purged the version I had (and the home folders again).  I installed the x64 version of flash from a PPA.  This had no effect.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I decided that the problem might be with the version of flash, so I purged the x64 version and installed the standard x32 version that comes with Ubuntu.  No luck.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Back to the x64 version for consistency, I decided to set up a 64-bit mini 'clone' of my system in VirtualBox.  I was able to run the media player with no problem.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I rsynced (in archive mode) my home directory from my real machine to the virtual machine (with bridged networking, so it was fully visible on the network).  I also used a few tricks to install ALL of the same software (and repositories) from the real machine to the virtual machine.  I was still able to listen to the player.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I decided that the problem was with my install (after all, it had gone through two major version upgrades).  As I have /home/ on a separate partition it was easy to reinstall and use the same trick from #6 to have my system up and running again within about an hour.  I continue to have issues with the NPR Media Player.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;By this point the weekend had come.  At work, I use a wired connection while at home I use a wireless connection.  For some reason I forgot that I was having problems and used the NPR Media Player over the weekend.  Low and behold it worked just fine at home on wireless (note: for various reasons, I could not test this on wired at home).&lt;/li&gt;  &#xA;&lt;li&gt;Following from #6, I decided that the problem was either something with the network at work or still something with my account.  As the latter was easier to test, I created a new account on my system and used that at work.  The Media Player worked.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;At a loss, I decided to watch the traffic with tshark (the text based brother of wireshark) - X's to protect the innocent, I am the XXX.24.200.XXX:&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;sudo tshark -i eth0 -p -t a -R &quot;ip.addr == XXX.24.200.XXX &amp;amp;&amp;amp; ip.addr == XXX.166.98.XXX&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As you would expect, there were tons and tons of packets, but each and every time the player froze, this is what I got&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;08:42:20.679200 XXX.166.98.XXX -&gt; XXX.24.200.XXX TCP macromedia-fcs &gt; 56371 [PSH, ACK] Seq=817686 Ack=6 Win=65535 Len=1448 TSV=495713325 TSER=396467&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;08:42:20.718602 XXX.24.200.XXX -&gt; XXX.166.98.XXX TCP [TCP ZeroWindow] 56371 &gt; macromedia-fcs [ACK] Seq=6 Ack=819134 Win=0 Len=0 TSV=396475 TSER=495713325&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;08:42:21.050183 XXX.166.98.XXX -&gt; XXX.24.200.XXX TCP [TCP ZeroWindowProbe] macromedia-fcs &gt; 56371 [ACK] Seq=819134 Ack=6 Win=65535 Len=1 TSV=495713362 TSER=396475&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;08:42:21.050221 XXX.24.200.XXX -&gt; XXX.166.98.XXX TCP [TCP ZeroWindowProbeAck] [TCP ZeroWindow] 56371 &gt; macromedia-fcs [ACK] Seq=6 Ack=819134 Win=0 Len=0 TSV=396508 TSER=495713362&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;08:42:21.680548 XXX.166.98.XXX -&gt; XXX.24.200.XXX TCP [TCP ZeroWindowProbe] macromedia-fcs &gt; 56371 [ACK] Seq=819134 Ack=6 Win=65535 Len=1 TSV=495713425 TSER=396508&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;08:42:21.680605 XXX.24.200.XXX -&gt; XXX.166.98.XXX TCP [TCP ZeroWindowProbeAck] [TCP ZeroWindow] 56371 &gt; macromedia-fcs [ACK] Seq=6 Ack=819134 Win=0 Len=0 TSV=396571 TSER=495713425&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;08:42:22.910354 XXX.166.98.XXX -&gt; XXX.24.200.XXX TCP [TCP ZeroWindowProbe] macromedia-fcs &gt; 56371 [ACK] Seq=819134 Ack=6 Win=65535 Len=1 TSV=495713548 TSER=396571&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;08:42:22.910400 XXX.24.200.XXX -&gt; XXX.166.98.XXX TCP [TCP ZeroWindowProbeAck] [TCP ZeroWindow] 56371 &gt; macromedia-fcs [ACK] Seq=6 Ack=819134 Win=0 Len=0 TSV=396694 TSER=495713548&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;08:42:25.340458 XXX.166.98.XXX -&gt; XXX.24.200.XXX TCP [TCP ZeroWindowProbe] macromedia-fcs &gt; 56371 [ACK] Seq=819134 Ack=6 Win=65535 Len=1 TSV=495713791 TSER=396694&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;08:42:25.340517 XXX.24.200.XXX -&gt; XXX.166.98.XXX TCP [TCP ZeroWindowProbeAck] [TCP ZeroWindow] 56371 &gt; macromedia-fcs [ACK] Seq=6 Ack=819134 Win=0 Len=0 TSV=396937 TSER=495713791&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;08:42:30.170698 XXX.166.98.XXX -&gt; XXX.24.200.XXX TCP [TCP ZeroWindowProbe] macromedia-fcs &gt; 56371 [ACK] Seq=819134 Ack=6 Win=65535 Len=1 TSV=495714274 TSER=396937&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;08:42:30.170746 XXX.24.200.XXX -&gt; XXX.166.98.XXX TCP [TCP ZeroWindowProbeAck] [TCP ZeroWindow] 56371 &gt; macromedia-fcs [ACK] Seq=6 Ack=819134 Win=0 Len=0 TSV=397420 TSER=495714274&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;08:42:39.801738 XXX.166.98.XXX -&gt; XXX.24.200.XXX TCP [TCP ZeroWindowProbe] macromedia-fcs &gt; 56371 [ACK] Seq=819134 Ack=6 Win=65535 Len=1 TSV=495715237 TSER=397420&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;08:42:39.801784 XXX.24.200.XXX -&gt; XXX.166.98.XXX TCP [TCP ZeroWindowProbeAck] [TCP ZeroWindow] 56371 &gt; macromedia-fcs [ACK] Seq=6 Ack=819134 Win=0 Len=0 TSV=398383 TSER=495715237&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;08:42:59.032648 XXX.166.98.XXX -&gt; XXX.24.200.XXX TCP [TCP ZeroWindowProbe] macromedia-fcs &gt; 56371 [ACK] Seq=819134 Ack=6 Win=65535 Len=1 TSV=495717160 TSER=398383&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;08:42:59.032696 XXX.24.200.XXX -&gt; XXX.166.98.XXX TCP [TCP ZeroWindowProbeAck] [TCP ZeroWindow] 56371 &gt; macromedia-fcs [ACK] Seq=6 Ack=819134 Win=0 Len=0 TSV=400306 TSER=495717160&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;08:43:00.267721 XXX.24.200.XXX -&gt; XXX.166.98.XXX TCP 56371 &gt; macromedia-fcs [FIN, ACK] Seq=6 Ack=819134 Win=0 Len=0 TSV=400430 TSER=495717160&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;08:43:00.267827 XXX.24.200.XXX -&gt; XXX.166.98.XXX TCP 56371 &gt; macromedia-fcs [RST, ACK] Seq=7 Ack=819134 Win=65535 Len=0 TSV=400430 TSER=495717160&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, as you can see, my machine is sending out a ZeroWindow packet (which I think means some buffer or another filled up) which causes the Media Player to halt (unfortunately, terminally - no controls on it really do anything anymore).

The goal is to be able to store it by itself on a device without Linux and access it from the device when needed with an Ubuntu Live CD.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I know LUKS can't encrypt partitions in place, so I created another, unformatted partition of the EXACT same size (using GParted's &quot;Round to MiB&quot; option) and ran this command:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;sudo cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/xxx&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Where xxx is the partition's device name.

So let me try to clarify the terms first of all:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The way Windows shares files and printers is called &lt;strong&gt;SMB&lt;/strong&gt;. The people from the &lt;strong&gt;SAMBA&lt;/strong&gt; project have implemented all of Microsoft's protocols and specifications for Linux. Ubuntu therefore supports the same sort of file sharing as Windows, which is called Samba.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You can use SAMBA to share files between Linux machines.&lt;/strong&gt; In fact, you might prefer it in case you have, for example, have a friend over with their Windows computer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Alternatively, you can use &lt;em&gt;The Linux Way&lt;/em&gt; of sharing files, which is NFS (Network File System) - &lt;a href=&quot;http://askubuntu.com/questions/8534/share-files-and-printer-between-2-ubuntu-boxes/8573#8573&quot;&gt;This answer to a previous question&lt;/a&gt; explains how to do it.

Cutting/splitting videos without re-encoding can only be done in &quot;Copy&quot; mode.&#xA;It also means that no video filters can be applied.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The &quot;Copy&quot; mode works by copying the raw compressed video from the original file (container) into the new file (container). That's why you can't use video filters in this mode.&#xA;You might have noticed that this cutting doesn't actually work always with exact precision. Effectively, &quot;Copy&quot; mode can only split on keyframes, and that means that unless you chose a keyframe to split on, your resulting video will have a few more frames than what you intended.&#xA;Usually too few to notice, but they are there anyway.&#xA;However, with some specific codecs, Avidemux can do &quot;Smartcopy&quot;:&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.avidemux.org/admWiki/doku.php?id=using:cutting&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.avidemux.org/admWiki/doku.php?id=using:cutting&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;If your file uses MSMPEG-4 (DivX ;-) 3) or MPEG-4 video, you can use smart copy mode. Smart copy will leave most frames unchanged, but re-encode the part that lost its reference images with a fixed quantizer. So in our example, frames ab and nop would remain unchanged, while frames jkl would be re-encoded to use a different reference frame. Smart copy will ask you for a value for the quantizer to use – 4 or 5 is generally OK.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So you still get some video re-encoding, though minimal.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;PiTiVi is a Non-Linear video editor first and foremost, and so it doesn't have a &quot;copy&quot; mode, which would prevent any track-mixing and any video effects.

As you know, your icon themes are located in &lt;strong&gt;/usr/share/icons&lt;/strong&gt;.  Simply go to your icon theme directory and locate the icon(s) you wish to replace, taking note of their locations.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In your home folder there is a hidden directory called &lt;strong&gt;.icons&lt;/strong&gt;.  In Nautilus you can hit &lt;strong&gt;Ctrl+H&lt;/strong&gt; to see it.  Any icons you put in this directory will be treated as icons are treated in &lt;strong&gt;/usr/share/icons&lt;/strong&gt;.  The only catch is that icons places in the .icons folder available only for that user.  Also programs run as superuser, like Synaptic, will not reflect any changes in theme-ing added to your home folder.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A way to solve that is to symbolically link ~/.icons (and ~/.themes if you want) to the corresponding folders in /root.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you wanted to do that you could put this in terminal:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;sudo ln -s ~/.icons /root&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That will make your user themes globally available without needing root privileges at all.  But that's beyond the scope of the question and I'm babbling.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I will use the Mint-X icon theme and the application Blender as an example.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;When I navigate to&#xA;&lt;strong&gt;/usr/share/icons/Mint-X/apps/48&lt;/strong&gt; I see a Blender icon.  But I would like&#xA;to replace it with a custom icon.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I then go to &lt;strong&gt;~/.icons&lt;/strong&gt; and recreate&#xA;the same directory hierarchy, staring with &quot;&lt;strong&gt;Mint-X&lt;/strong&gt;&quot;:&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;~/.icons/Mint-X/apps/48&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Then I put my custom Blender icon in&#xA;the new &quot;&lt;strong&gt;48&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; folder.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;And finally, I open the Appearance Preferences&#xA;Window, select a different icon&#xA;theme, and reselect Mint-X so it&#xA;reloads (sometimes it happens live&#xA;and you don't even need to reload the&#xA;theme).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now instead of the Blender icon in &lt;strong&gt;/usr/share/icons/Mint-X/apps/48&lt;/strong&gt; I see the one in &lt;strong&gt;~/.icons/Mint-X/apps/48&lt;/strong&gt; used in apps and menus that use the 48x48 sized Blender icon.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Keep in mind that everything is case sensitive and must match each other exactly for this trick to work!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There a few other ways to do this without overwriting anything in an icon theme, but this is by far the simplest.  Also, &lt;strong&gt;just putting your custom icon in ~/.icons often works&lt;/strong&gt; (the Twitter client Hotot is an example).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I recommend learning what the &lt;strong&gt;index.theme&lt;/strong&gt; files do.  Those files control what places your system looks to decide which icons to use, what to name the theme, etc.  Open one up in Gedit and have a look, it's pretty simple!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The way I do it is by keeping a custom theme in ~/.icons that I always use (to make sure panel icons are the correct colors, mostly).  I make up an index.theme file (you can copy one rather than write a whole new one, but make sure your folder locations correlate!) and just have it &quot;inherit&quot; the new theme I want.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So if I wanted to use the Elementary icon theme instead of the Faenza-Dark one I would change the line&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;Inherits=Faenza-Dark&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;to&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;Inherits=Elementary&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So in turn, by inheriting Elementary I will also inherit whatever Elementary inherits, but &lt;strong&gt;my icons will always come first&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Hope that was helpful, time for bed!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1910" LastEditorUserId="1910" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-12-02T10:46:25.637" LastActivityDate="2010-12-02T10:46:25.637" CommentCount="3" />

Everything was wonderful. However, apparently I was using an AWN package for Lucid - I'm on Maverick. After a recent run of the update manager, AWN was removed, and I now have no access to anything - can't get at any of my applications or folders.

When I go into the PPA in the software center, I do see those packages, but clicking Remove doesn't actually do anything. It's like they're stuck. I tried to get into Synaptic to remove the packages from there, but when I try to run it from the applications menu, I get this error:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic as user root.&#xA;&#xA;Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file.&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;How can I get rid of those packages so I can reinstall AWN directly from the software center?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="2664" LastEditorUserId="2664" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-12-03T15:51:25.127" LastActivityDate="2010-12-03T15:51:25.127" Title="How do I get AWN back?

In older GDM versions (like what you would have found in 9.04) there was an easy option to ignore file permissions etc. However, GDM's (gui) options have changed a lot since then, and my suggestion is that you should avoid the risk. For example if your .Xauthority file gets the wrong permissions, you could be left unable to log in.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As other user pointed out, NTFS does not support some of the features that applications/service may need, like unix symbolic links, and then there is also the risk of fragmentation, which happens much more on NTFS than on ext file systems. For safety, stick with something like xfs, ext3/4, or even btrfs.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;EDIT: Another thing I took note of, you said you used wubi to install on an NTFS partition. This only works because it creates a virtual disk, but as I mentioned above, fragmentation can occur. If you put your /home folder on a partition under the control of windows there is a risk of corruption (I don't have links, but I have experience; I've done something similar before, and had to do a disk check every time windows accessed the drive.

The PDF file format was intended not to be editable, but we now have tools to edit them...&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The entire file format / campaign appears for the most part gimicky, and most of us are incredibly unlikely to actually encounter such a file.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What is not that unlikely to emerge is &quot;support&quot; for opening these files, but no restrictions on printing.... which kinda defeats the point.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="866" LastActivityDate="2010-12-04T08:02:32.777" />

Thus, an attacker has to guess both a user-name which has administrator priveleges, AND that user's password (which is far more difficult than just trying to work out the root password).In XP if you have the Recovery Console installed, anyone who has physical access to your box can boot into it (RC) - no password required.

I think the answer is slightly different depending on whether you're talking about a server or a desktop installation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On a desktop, it is uncommon to use the &lt;code&gt;root&lt;/code&gt; account. In fact, Ubuntu ships with password access disabled. All changes requiring superused privilleges are done through &lt;code&gt;sudo&lt;/code&gt; and its graphical cognates &lt;code&gt;gksudo&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;kdesudo&lt;/code&gt;. Given that it's easy to set a &lt;code&gt;root&lt;/code&gt; password, however, why don't people do it?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One reason is that it gives you an additional layer of security. If you run a program as &lt;code&gt;root&lt;/code&gt; and a security flaw is exploited, the attacker has access to all data and can directly control the hardware. For example, it might install a trojan or key-logger into your kernel. In practice, though, an attack can do a large amount of damage even without superuser privilleges is large. After all, all user data - including documents and stored passwords - is accessible without root access.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A more valid point, on a single-user system, is that the user is prevented from accidentally rendering the system unusable. If the user unintentionally issues a command that deletes all files, he will still be able to boot the system, even if the data will be lost.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Additionally, most user-facing (X11) applications today are built on the assumption that they're run as a regular user account and without administrator rights. Thus some programs might misbehave when run as &lt;code&gt;root&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On a multi-user system with non-graphical shell access only, many of these reason do not apply. However, Ubuntu still reasonably defaults to an unaccessible &lt;code&gt;root&lt;/code&gt; account. For one thing, there is a real difference between gaining access to a user account (with &lt;code&gt;sudo&lt;/code&gt; rights) through a security hole and gaining access to &lt;code&gt;root&lt;/code&gt;, as in the first case disrupting other users will require running &lt;code&gt;sudo&lt;/code&gt; and will still prompt for the account password as an additional security step. For another, it is useful to perform many administrative tasks from a user account and only invoking &lt;code&gt;sudo&lt;/code&gt; when the superuser privilleges are aboslutely required. Thus when installing a program from source, it is advisable to build the source - running &lt;code&gt;configure&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;make&lt;/code&gt; - inside the user's directory and only using &lt;code&gt;sudo make install&lt;/code&gt; in the final step. Again this makes it more difficult to shoot onself (and other users of the multi-user system) in the foot, and it decreases the likelihood of build scripts wreaking havoc with the system. Thus even on a server it is good advice to stick to Ubuntu's &lt;a href=&quot;https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;sudo-based administration&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="627" LastActivityDate="2010-12-04T17:24:12.047" />

Let me answer it from a practical point of view:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When I started using Linux, which is more than 10 years ago, the major distributions did not advertise using non-root accounts as much as today. As I was used to Windows I also did not see a point in using a constrained user account. In particular because I had to enter &quot;su&quot; very often - sudo wasn't that popular back then. ;-) So I always logged in as root because I had a lot of maintenance to do to get my system well configured. But guess what, any fresh installed system became quickly very unstable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One concrete problem for instance: I haven't had that much harddisk space reserved for Linux so it happened to me a few times that I had 0 bytes left on my partition. Maybe I'm not completely precise because I don't know the exact mechanism, but when you fill up a disk with a non-root account there are always a few kilobytes left. But if you really have 0 bytes left, your system makes weird errors and you might end up with some hard to fix damage in your system because there is a lot of system software running in the background...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another thing is: That division between root and non-root keeps your system well-organized. As a root-user you might be tempted to not cleanly install your new applications which leaves you with a dirty, hard maintainable system.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But the good thing: Modern distributions do most of the administration tasks for you, so seldom you have to fiddle in the guts of your Linux system with a root account. Entering a password from time to time is sufficient, the rest is done by the distributor's scripts.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But I doubt that you haven't had issues on your Windows system with that if you used 95 oder 98. (At least I had issues with that...) Because of the lack of a clear separation between Administrator and regular user &quot;traditional&quot; Windows apps assume they can do anything E.g. install Spyware if they feel like it, even without telling you. Microsoft engaged in that issue when releasing Vista. (Effectively implementing a sudo mechanism.) So people got very annoying dialogues saying &quot;You can't do that&quot;. For some non-Vista-compliant software you needed some dirty hacks to install it, even as Administrator...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="6927" LastActivityDate="2010-12-04T20:02:18.773" />

It probably matters less on machines that are primarily single-user machines (your desktop or netbook), but on server machines, if someone is logged in as &lt;code&gt;root&lt;/code&gt;, you don't know who to blame for the actions taken.  Therefore, most professional organizations with multiple systems and multiple administrator that need &lt;code&gt;root&lt;/code&gt; privileges require people to login using their own user ID (and password), and then use &lt;code&gt;sudo&lt;/code&gt; or similar programs to operate with &lt;code&gt;root&lt;/code&gt; privileges when necessary.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Otherwise, the primary reasons for not running as root are:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Minimize risk of damage from accidents.  If you run &lt;code&gt;rm -fr / home/me/my-subdir&lt;/code&gt; as root, then you've just dramatically eliminated everything of importance from your machine because of that space after the (first) slash - because the stuff that goes first is the stuff that was added first - little things like the kernel, the &lt;code&gt;/bin&lt;/code&gt; and the &lt;code&gt;/etc&lt;/code&gt; directory.

Here is the screenshot from the Maverick fresh installation:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/13NoC.png&quot; alt=&quot;alt text&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What does that warning mean? I'm not sure but I feel that its something related with the keyboard layout. I use &quot;Turkish Q&quot; layout. That warning might try to say that &quot;there's a Default layout for &lt;strong&gt;onboard&lt;/strong&gt; but, for now, &lt;strong&gt;not that Default&lt;/strong&gt; but &lt;strong&gt;your default&lt;/strong&gt; layout will be started&quot;. If this is the case, obviously, it makes sense. However, I have no clue what the &quot;main Default&quot; is or what to do in order not to get that warning, but -at least for me- that warning has no ill effect and I didn't even know about such a warning before I read your question. (I don't start onboard from terminal so I haven't seen it.) In my opinion that is not the important part of your problem or maybe its not an issue at all.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your second and main problem: You say that onboard crashes when you minimize it. On my Maverick system, when I minimize onboard (version 0.94.0), its icon still lies on the bottom panel as usual for most of the programs. Like this (circled in red):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/lRPN1.png&quot; alt=&quot;alt text&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But on my Karmic system (&lt;strong&gt;onboard&lt;/strong&gt; version 0.92.0) it behaves in a different way: When I minimize &lt;strong&gt;onboard&lt;/strong&gt; , its icon sits the top panel, right side. Like this (circled in red):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/ky4GK.png&quot; alt=&quot;alt text&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On Karmic, with &lt;strong&gt;onboard&lt;/strong&gt; version 0.92.0, if this is not set to be on top panel, it crashes when onboard is minimized. Most probably, this is a bug. So, on Karmic, I set it to be on top panel. On Maverick, with &lt;strong&gt;onboard&lt;/strong&gt; version 0.94.0, both ways work, as it should be, so its up to taste to choose one or the other behaviour, i.e. minimizing to top or bottom. It may be possible to uninstall 0.92.0 and install 0.94.0 on Karmic but I didn't try it and I don't know if there are dependency problems or not.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, from where can we set this behaviour? Let's go to the Settings section of onboard. How? Start onboard (version 0.92.0 in this example) and click on the area circled in red:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/uetgp.png&quot; alt=&quot;alt text&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now click on the &lt;strong&gt;Settings&lt;/strong&gt; :&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/F2dvV.png&quot; alt=&quot;alt text&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Tick the option &quot;&lt;em&gt;Show icon in system tray to hide/show onboard&lt;/em&gt;&quot;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/RbHd7.png&quot; alt=&quot;alt text&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Settings interface for &lt;strong&gt;onboard&lt;/strong&gt; 0.94.0 is a little bit different, but the same choise exists as shown belown (remember that on Maverick with v. 0.92.0 that choice was a must as a workaround to prevent crash; here it is optional as an option should be):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/Jka10.png&quot; alt=&quot;alt text&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In short, in your situation (Karmic + most probably &lt;strong&gt;onboard&lt;/strong&gt; v. 0.92.0) I advice to tick that box.

A:&#xA;  An explanation is given in&#xA;  doc/custom-shapes in the source&#xA;  distribution on how the shape format&#xA;  works. However, Dia now also has the&#xA;  capability of exporting a diagram as a&#xA;  shape. Each collection of shapes&#xA;  (called a sheet) should be kept&#xA;  together in a subdirectory of&#xA;  ~/.dia/shapes, e.g,&#xA;  ~/.dia/shapes/Engines. To make a&#xA;  shape, first design it in Dia. Then&#xA;  export it into your subdirectory. Two&#xA;  files will be generated, a .shape file&#xA;  and a .png file (the icon).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;From version 0.90 and up, Dia features&#xA;  a Sheets and Objects editor which will&#xA;  allow you to load the shape into a&#xA;  sheet. It will also update Dia's&#xA;  loaded objects on the fly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;If you still want to do things by&#xA;  hand, update the corresponding sheet&#xA;  file in ~/.dia/sheets, in this case&#xA;  called Engines.sheet.

A high load, popular server that is doing anything with a local slow disk will quickly spiral into something far worse than a fail state. Response times will rise to 100x their normal level, and simple things like logging in via the console or ssh may take minutes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;SSD swap is a special case and would at least remove the seek time slow down that usually kills the system. However, writes are still slow, so you'll still end up waiting a long, long time to recover from an out of control process.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Without swap, your LAMP server will simply kill off processes to free up RAM. Proper monitoring should alert you to this, and remove servers from production if critical processes are killed. The worst case here is that your login methods are all killed off and you have to do a hard reset/power cycle. This worst case is still just as likely with an out of control swapping machine, but far harder to detect.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you're using PHP, enable memory limits, and monitor your logs for their failures.

The gist of the matter is that combinations of ego (aka &quot;technical pride&quot;), politics, and ownership collisions (aka &quot;no maintainer&quot;) have caused a morass of APIs to crop up over the past decade (and few years), and many incorrect assumptions have been made all over the place.  &lt;em&gt;We're continuing to eliminate many of the inconsistencies and poor assumptions&lt;/em&gt;.  For Ubuntu specifically, we have a &lt;a href=&quot;https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;developer Launchpad group&lt;/a&gt;.  I can't speak for the other members, because they're all Canonical employees and may have additional restrictions, but certainly feel free to contact me through Launchpad; I'm happy to walk you through the debugging process individually as our schedules mesh.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's absolutely vital to note that &lt;em&gt;PulseAudio has more stringent requirements of one's audio hardware in a fundamentally different manner to traditional applications&lt;/em&gt;.  These requirements continue to expose poor assumptions in the kernel, the sound drivers, and underlying libraries.  For a long time, people's &quot;solution&quot; for &quot;fixing broken sound&quot; has consisted of removing PulseAudio, which effectively skips the broken aspects of the kernel, the sound drivers, and underlying libraries themselves.  So, while you &quot;get sound back,&quot; the problem remains.  In the end, it's much better to fix the problems completely.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To summarize, there are two general approaches for methodical audio debugging.  Either one starts at the application level, say, Banshee, or one starts at the hardware level.  For the sake of consistency I'll refer to the former as &quot;high level,&quot; i.e., higher in the stack, and the latter as &quot;low level,&quot; or lower in the stack closest to the hardware.  I'm most comfortable troubleshooting from the lowest level upward, since my involvement in audio over the past decade (from creating and maintaining device drivers up through application integration) has seen OEMs repeating mistakes that Linux, i.e., the kernel, has to work around (or &quot;hack around&quot; as we developers sometimes call it).  Yet hardware people are no more guilty than software people.  These problems have many bases: it doesn't matter whether they lie in the BIOS, the power supply, the motherboard bridges, sound controllers and codecs, the kernel, or the userspace portions (libraries, APIs, PulseAudio, applications, and so on).  In the end the issue is quite straightforward: &lt;em&gt;we all insufficiently handle out-of-bounds conditions from every level below and across&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At the PC hardware level, we begin debugging by &lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/AlsaInfo&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;identifying precisely which components are used&lt;/a&gt;.  Most modern desktop audio hardware has two significant pieces of information: the PCI subsystem identifier and the audio codec subsystem identifier.  You can find the former via &lt;code&gt;lspci -nv&lt;/code&gt;; look for the audio subsystem codes 0401 (&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC97&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;AC'97&lt;/a&gt;) or 0403 (&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_High_Definition_Audio&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;High Definition Audio&lt;/a&gt;).  Depending on hardware, the latter can be identified through information exposed by the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;ALSA&lt;/a&gt; driver itself in &lt;code&gt;/proc/asound&lt;/code&gt; (the developers' debugging script I just linked automates much of that information-gathering).  It's absolutely vital that one realize and remember that &lt;em&gt;similar, even identical, symptoms often have varying hardware and software causes&lt;/em&gt;.  For that reason it's easiest on people fixing the bugs to have a clear bug report, and that's why in Ubuntu we have &lt;code&gt;ubuntu-bug alsa-base&lt;/code&gt; for driver problems and &lt;code&gt;ubuntu-bug pulseaudio&lt;/code&gt; for application problems.  If you aren't sure what's at fault, just choose one, or use ubuntu-bug's audio symptom.  Regardless, we'll request additional information as necessary.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The PCI SSID is important, because it is a record of which computer manufacturer &lt;strong&gt;integrates&lt;/strong&gt; which set of audio components onto a motherboard.  For example, you'll often find Dell, HP/Compaq, Acer, Samsung, Lenovo, and so on using different combinations of IDT/Sigmatel, Realtek, Cirrus, Analog, and Conexant audio components.  &lt;em&gt;A Dell that has a Realtek 269 does not necessarily have the same behavior as an HP with a Realtek 269&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The codec SSID can be considered the analog of the PCI one from the perspective of the audio equipment manufacturer.  Information associated with the codec SSID can be used to find which revision has been integrated onto the silicon.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, here's where the problems begin.  Assuming that the BIOS is ok (which is a rather blind assumption, since there are a lot of broken BIOSes that wreak havoc with Linux audio), sometimes the PCI SSID is reused incorrectly.  In those situations, our recourse is to apply specific quirks in the driver based on codec SSID.  Unfortunately still, sometimes the codec SSID is reused incorrectly.  In those situations, we have to look at specific revisions of the codec in addition to more blindly brute-forcing attempts to reinitialize the driver.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For most of the newest equipment, we tend to trust the BIOS instead of using our historical &quot;just use this hard-coded definition&quot; approach.  In some situations, we have to use tools to emulate the codec to find which pin definitions perform what functions. Missing functions in the driver to handle jack sense, i.e., (un)muting internal speakers when headphones are (removed)inserted, &lt;a href=&quot;http://drowninginbugs.blogspot.com/2010/11/fix-bug-already-aka-long-overdue.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;can be easily corrected&lt;/a&gt; in this fashion.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once we've determined that your underlying hardware isn't broken and that the sound driver doesn't need to be patched, we look at the userspace layer, namely &lt;code&gt;alsa-lib&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;alsa-plugins&lt;/code&gt;, and &lt;code&gt;pulseaudio&lt;/code&gt;.  The vast majority of issues lie in the driver or in (some interface to) PulseAudio.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;alsa-lib&lt;/code&gt; is responsible for handling all native ALSA operations (thus, PulseAudio uses it, too).  Problems here will manifest themselves regardless whether PulseAudio is used.  On the other hand, problems arising only when the 'default' ALSA virtual device is used can point to either the PulseAudio &lt;code&gt;alsa-lib&lt;/code&gt; plugin (in &lt;code&gt;alsa-plugins&lt;/code&gt;) or to PulseAudio itself.  In standard Ubuntu 8.10 and Kubuntu 10.10 installations, 'default' routes through PulseAudio, so switching between the 'default' and native PulseAudio outputs (or inputs as the use case may be) should help narrow down which layer to further investigate.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="6369" LastActivityDate="2010-12-06T16:07:29.043" CommentCount="1" />

Further, the words &lt;em&gt;site&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;service&lt;/em&gt; should be understood in their pre-internet meanings. Your site can be &quot;the physics department&quot; or &quot;the finances office&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It goes on to say:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;On large systems it can be useful to structure /srv by administrative context, such as&#xA;  /srv/physics/www, /srv/compsci/cvs, etc. This setup will differ from host to host. Therefore, no program&#xA;  should rely on a specific subdirectory structure of /srv existing or data necessarily being stored in /srv.&#xA;  However /srv should always exist on FHS compliant systems and should be used as the default location for&#xA;  such data.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You should therefore further structure your date in directories such as &lt;code&gt;/srv/nfs&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;/srv/backup&lt;/code&gt; and so on.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I should also mention that few people do this anymore. But there is no good reason why they don't. The standard is by no means out of date.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;/var&lt;/code&gt; is traditionally used for things like print-spools and log-files, but it's also used by the apache web server (on debian systems anyway - SuSE use /srv); There doesn't seem to be consensus on whether &lt;code&gt;/var&lt;/code&gt; is a proper directory for shared data. But if you decide to use it instead, you will have no regrets I'm sure. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note also: Karthick's answer is by no means wrong. The FHS says /srv &quot; should be used as the default location for&#xA;such data&quot;, but the standard leaves some room for your own preference, depending on how you interpret the terms. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1067" LastEditorUserId="1067" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2011-01-04T12:53:31.100" LastActivityDate="2011-01-04T12:53:31.100" CommentCount="3" />

(They have 5.0.7 at the moment so prefer that one.) I have no internet connection with that machine. So I created a CD from &lt;strong&gt;debian-506-i386-xfce+lxde-CD-1.iso&lt;/strong&gt; This is the first installation CD of Debian containing Xfce and &lt;a href=&quot;http://lxde.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;LXDE&lt;/a&gt; environments instead of Debian's default GNOME. The purpose is to be lighter, of course, and is suitable for old old machines.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At the beginning of the installation, you are given a choise to install Xfce or LXDE. Later you may install the other one you didn't opt in at the beginning as well. Rhen you'll have 2 desktop environments and choose one of them while logging in. I installed even GNOME desktop to my old machine and now I have 3 choises. (In fact more than 3; there's also a very plain X window system choise as I remember.) To install GNOME as well, you have to have the 1st CD (not the xfce+lxde one) as well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Because I have no Internet connection, I created the first 5 CDs and I'm instaling packages from them. (There are 30+ CDs in total.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As a result: Xfce (both Xubuntu and Debian versions) and LXDE (Debian one) and even GNOME (Debian) works well on the machine. So I see no reason that they won't work for you too.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;About the performance: For sure, I installed GNOME just for some testing purposes. Xfce and LXDE are working like a charm on that machine. Starting od the services and applications are a little bit slow but when they start I even don't realize a slowness. That is to mean, machine starts a little bit slow. But when it starts there's no problem. Office package starts a little bit slow but once it starts there's no speed issue when writing... and so on. I have no problem with listening to the music on that system. I even can watch video but video performance is not that good. I don't advice to use [more than 2] relatively heavy programs at the same time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For the command line, there's absoluıtely no problem. That kind of a machine is ideal to learn the basics of GNU/Linux.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I must admit that I like to work with that machine better than my &quot;modern&quot; laptop! I'm sure that your machine will host one of these choises and it will be a lovely GNU/Linux machine. Good luck.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="3781" LastActivityDate="2010-12-08T23:03:34.583" CommentCount="1" />

Applications&gt;Wine&gt;Programs...&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You will have all 3 open and visibly active. Here is the trick:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You EXPORT the wine configuration to the games folders using the &lt;code&gt;export WINEPREFIX&lt;/code&gt;&#xA;You them run the &lt;code&gt;wine --prefix&lt;/code&gt; so it makes the new wine configuration in that directory.&#xA;Then run the game in its own wine configuration.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The wine explorer options used above are (In the case of WOW):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;wine explorer&lt;/code&gt; - Opens the explorer&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;/desktop=X,Y&lt;/code&gt; - It creates a virtual desktop where X is the name of the desktop and Y is the resolution. For example WOW,1024x768&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;&quot; &quot;&lt;/code&gt; - After the variables for /desktop the stuff inside the double quotes is the executable. You do not need to have it inside quotes but just in case you have spaces you will need them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;-opengl -console&lt;/code&gt; - This are only parameters that WOW uses. You can put the parameters for a game after all has been typed as you can see in the above example for wow.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This took me almost a whole year to find and use since sometimes users wanted 2 or 3 opened programs at the same time. And since i teach free software i had to really dig into this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;After doing the above you can just create a LAUNCHER in the desktop pointing at the executable with the &lt;code&gt;wine explorer /desktop&lt;/code&gt; line.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Hope it helps anybody.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/Kbsdt.png&quot; alt=&quot;Wine&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="7035" LastEditorUserId="7035" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-12-13T23:37:23.530" LastActivityDate="2010-12-13T23:37:23.530" />

What it does instead is create what's known as a &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/profiles&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;user profile&lt;/a&gt;&quot; -- a directory in your home directory -- and store all your data in there. And by &lt;em&gt;data&lt;/em&gt; I mean &lt;em&gt;everything&lt;/em&gt; -- add-ons, themes, browsing history, stored passwords, and on and on. (The actual location of your profiles in the filesystem varies by OS; on Ubuntu and other Linuxes, it's generally in &lt;code&gt;.mozilla/firefox&lt;/code&gt; in your home directory.) Data in the user profile is &lt;em&gt;completely separate&lt;/em&gt; from the Firefox application itself, so removing Firefox via &lt;code&gt;apt-get&lt;/code&gt; or the like won't delete the profile data; when you reinstall Firefox later, it'll just look up your profile and reload it all, which can be frustrating if you don't realize what's going on.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When you first use Firefox, it silently creates a default profile for you, and uses that profile from that day onward.  But you don't &lt;em&gt;have&lt;/em&gt; to use that profile.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing%20profiles&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Firefox supports multiple profiles, and you can switch back and forth between them at will.&lt;/a&gt;  This means that to get Firefox back to the way it was the day you first installed it, you don't have to touch the Firefox binaries at all -- all you have to do is create a new, empty profile, and use it instead of your old, cluttered one. Restart Firefox and it'll be like you never ran it before.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here's how to create a new FF profile in Ubuntu:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Close all running Firefox windows&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Open a console window (profile management is only accessible via the command line)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Run the following command at the prompt: &lt;code&gt;firefox -ProfileManager&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;This will launch the Firefox Profile Manager -- a dialog box that looks like this:&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/n9R9K.png&quot; alt=&quot;Firefox profile manager&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yours will probably only have one profile listed -- that's your current, default profile, with all your add-ons and other stuff.  It'll have a name that starts with a string of random characters; that's because FF had to come up with a name for it when it automatically created the profile, so it just used a random string.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Click the &quot;Create Profile&quot; button.  This will launch a wizard walking you through defining a new, empty profile.  When that process is complete you'll be returned to the Profile Manager dialog box, now with two profiles listed, your old one and your new one.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Select your newly created profile.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Optional:&lt;/em&gt; if you want Firefox to use your new, empty profile from now on by default, check the &quot;Don't ask at startup&quot; box.  If you'd prefer FF to prompt you for which profile you want to use each time you run it, leave that box unchecked.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Click &quot;Start Firefox&quot;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now Firefox will restart, completely fresh and new as the first day you downloaded it.  Problem solved. And if you ever need to retrieve something from your old profile, like your old bookmarks, say, all your old data is archived in your old profile, so you can safely retrieve it later.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="6830" LastEditorUserId="6830" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-12-09T17:42:37.773" LastActivityDate="2010-12-09T17:42:37.773" CommentCount="2" />

If you don't need it, why is it there? Is something else doing its job now? If it's something that's still in demand, why isn't it working for you?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You'll quite often see hardware-specific software written for edge cases like a single range of laptops (eg there are dozens of various Thinkpad hardware drivers).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;According to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/laptops/acer-wmi.txt&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;its readme&lt;/a&gt;, the driver covers wireless, LEDs, bluetooth, 3g and the backlight. To me, it sounds like something you (or others) might want so having it dumped or blacklisted by default might not be desirable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Find out how it got installed on your computer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Where did it come from? Is it pulled into the kernel? Is it an Ubuntu pull? This will ultimately decide where you need to make your complaint.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With kernel-level issues, it really helps to test the latest stable vanilla kernel. You can grab a copy from &lt;a href=&quot;http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the mainline repository&lt;/a&gt; although you'll probably find there are GCC version mismatches with certain binary-only drivers (I have, with nvidia) so it's not something you'll want to run on all the time IMO.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the problem persists with a vanilla kernel, add a bug upstream and link it to the Launchpad bug and track it backwards too. A nice double-linked bug will help everybody stay on the same page.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In this case, it sounds like it's an in-tree kernel driver (ie its source is pulled into the kernel repository and built in).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Find the person or people responsible for it&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's not reasonable to just to dump a bug on Launchpad and hope it finds the right person. I would say only a small portion of developers track their bugs through it so you need to find the maintainers of the software and get in touch.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It might feel rude to start cold-emailing people but the software is their baby. If it's not working, I think they'd like to know. Nine times in ten, they'll help you identify the problem too.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If it's still maintained, get debugging instructions. Check to make sure your hardware is compatible.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If it's not maintained, and you can confirm that with the old maintainer, file a bug in the kernel alerting people that there's a portion of code rotting and that it's causing you issues.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Suggest action to the right people&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When you know what the problem is, don't keep it to yourself. Make sure you take action on your bugs.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If it's something that can be fixed in the driver, chase people in the kernel up to get the new version pulled into the development release. Ask about having it backported to 2.6.35 for existing Ubuntu users. Talk to the Kernel team about pulling in the changes to the Maverick kernel (though you might not have any luck there).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If it's rotting, push the core kernel developers to dump it from their repo. Ask the Ubuntu kernel team developers to remove it from &lt;em&gt;their&lt;/em&gt; repo. At the least, ask for it to be blacklisted (how some modules have been forcibly been removed by Ubuntu in the past).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you get good turnaround on fixing/destroying the driver, it &lt;em&gt;should&lt;/em&gt; be possible to get its fix into the final Natty kernel (which is still at &lt;code&gt;-next&lt;/code&gt; stage in the proper kernel repo).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The point I'm trying to get across is when you do your own triage and talk to the right people, things get so much more attention and have such a higher chance of a good end result.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And by no means stop if you see another person with the same problem. Subscribe to it, comment on their bug, ask what they've found, ask what they've done about it... And then carry on. Don't rely on them to get your problem solved.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is how open source is supposed to work. Collaboration through good, open communication. Communicate your problem well, help where you can and you stand a good chance of getting better quality software.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="449" LastActivityDate="2010-12-09T20:57:21.347" />

Basically you need to follow the instructions in the above linked Ubuntu bug report pertaining to Ubuntu 9.10. Those need to be followed to every last detail. That is you need to make sure that you initialize the bios AND THEN disable bios quick boot. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You also need to ensure that you are using ALSA. I give credit here to Mr. Brooks for drawing attention to this. He suggested using gstreamer-properties to ensure this. That is what I used. The problem is it isn't installed in Lubuntu 10.10 by default. To get it you need to install the gnome-media package from the repositories. Then alt+f2 and run gstreamer-properties. Under default output, select ALSA as the plugin, and default as the device, then press test. If you've done everything in that order, you should be hearing the sweet sweet sound of victory.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Side Note: Along the way I ended up also installing some gstreamer plugins including the gstreamer alsa plugin. So if the above alone doesn't work, go ahead and install that then try gstreamer properties again (after a reboot).

(If you don't, run lspci or lsusb and google the line which looks like a wireless device). Then go to &lt;a href=&quot;http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Devices&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Devices&lt;/a&gt; and find your device model in the appropriate list. There you can find instructions how to install the driver. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If this site tells you that the driver is already part of the kernel, then you have some issue you must troubleshoot. For example, there are two drivers for Ralink, both included with Ubuntu, and when you plug the card in, both drivers try to steer it, so it doesn't work. The solution is to blacklist one of both. For this kind of problem, you will probably have to google something like &quot;[chipset] wireless card does not work on ubuntu&quot;, this gets you a result much quicker than if you google it without the chipset name. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Connect from the command line &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Edit (or create) the file /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It needs following code:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xA;    network={&#xA;        ssid=&quot;networkname&quot;&#xA;        scan_ssid=1&#xA;        proto=WPA&#xA;        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK&#xA;        pairwise=CCMP&#xA;        group=TKIP&#xA;        psk=&quot;networkpassword&quot;&#xA;}&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Depending on the router settings, you may need to try out different combinations for pairwise and group (e. g. both CCMP or both TKIP). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This solution assumes that you are using the older WPA encryption. If you have WPA 2, it changes to proto=RSN. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then connect using the line &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xA;sudo wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -D wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf &#xA;&lt;/pre&gt; &#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;here you need to write the name of your interface after -i and the name of your driver after -D (you should know both after you have solved 1.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I can vouch that this method worked with Intrepid, but haven't used it since.

Format the USB disk.&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is important if you already have anything looking like a Linux install on your disk, or the installer will not want to touch that disk, for some reason. I failed earlier because I didn't perform this step, so skip at your own risk! You need at least a key that is at least 3GB in size.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can do so from System → Administration → Disk Utility.

Install normally.&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At this point you are working on a virtual machine that sees your USB key as the only connected hard drive.

It is not guaranteed that the repositories will be in a consistent state by the time you run the installer.

I had &lt;code&gt;dpkg&lt;/code&gt; exiting with error code 1 without being able to review the error - no packages were broken as a result, however. I tried to shutdown the virtual machine cleanly after the setup, but it hung. On a reboot, however, the system booted fine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;4.

So here's the tl;dr version:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It would be simpler to upgrade the entire system to Maverick than backport Evince 2.32.x to Lucid.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Is it safe?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First we need to address the question of whether this is safe. In most instances, installing new versions of so-called &quot;leaf&quot; packages will not effect the stability of your system. A &quot;leaf&quot; package is a package that provides a standalone application that no other packages depend on. Evince, unfortunately for your purposes, is not entirely a simple &quot;leaf&quot; package.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Evince 2.30.x also provides the libraries libevdocument2 and libevview2. While Evince 2.32.x provides libevdocument3 and libevview3. Notice the libraries' have different numbers. This shows that there has been a SONAME bump meaning that there have been incompatible changes to the ABIs of these libraries. Other programs that rely on libevdocument2 and libevview2 may not function with libevdocument3 and libevview3.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Fortunately, at least on my system, there are no other programs that rely on libevdocument2 and libevview2 besides Evince itself. So is it safe? Probably!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Is ppa:irie/evince safe?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As with any other PPA, this question comes down to whether or not you trust the owner of the PPA, in this case &lt;a href=&quot;https://launchpad.net/~irie&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;irie&lt;/a&gt;. There are a few ways that I use to determine whether I trust a PPA like looking at the breadth of their contributions. Are they also a upstream developer? Are they an Ubuntu developer? Does their Launchpad page show on going activity?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for &lt;a href=&quot;https://launchpad.net/~irie/+archive/evince&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this specific PPA&lt;/a&gt;, it seems to introduce change that are not yet upstream:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;This PPA provides slightly enhanced&#xA;  Evince document viewer that pan scroll&#xA;  mode (like &quot;Hand tool&quot; in Adobe&#xA;  Reader) is added. It's probably&#xA;  suitable for touch panel based&#xA;  computers. The code changes are based&#xA;  on a patch written by Stephen Sugden.&#xA;  (http://mail.gnome.org/archives/evince-list/2009-June/msg00027.html)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But more importantly, it doesn't seem to have packages for Lucid. So it will not help you anyways.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Backporting it on your own&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So since its safe, is it doable? It depends on just how much you want it. Unfortunately, it would take quite a bit of work to backport Evince 2.32.x to Lucid. Backporting a singe package isn't that much work, but looking at the source code I can see that it's not just Evince that needs backporting. It needs newer versions of libglib2.0-dev, libgtk2.0-dev, libpoppler-glib-dev, and libcairo2-dev that are not available in Lucid. Those are core GNOME libraries that are about the complete opposite of &quot;leaf&quot; packages. You would need to backport the entire chain of dependencies.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In short, doing so is very complicated , time consuming, and potentially dangerous.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="570" LastActivityDate="2010-12-12T18:47:31.997" CommentCount="1" />

Shutting down out of gnome on my test machine for this answer causes it to just log you out and throw you back to GDM. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you want to shut down your system afterwards, you have to do&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;sudo init 0&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Disabling&quot; shutdown will affect every application that uses the command for anything. Since &lt;code&gt;init 0&lt;/code&gt; is not the recommended way of shutting down a system, all programs that have to shut down the system use &lt;code&gt;shutdown&lt;/code&gt; for it, which won't work any more.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Applications can also throw exceptions due to the &lt;strong&gt;missing file&lt;/strong&gt;, or the file being &lt;strong&gt;not executable&lt;/strong&gt;, potentially causing them to crash even though a shutdown isn't necessary. This is an edge-case that you can work around by moving some binary, ideally executable file (not a shell script - that won't work) in it's place.

These preferences are stored in XML files under the user's home directory, &lt;code&gt;~/.gconf&lt;/code&gt;. Each preference is represented as a key-value pair.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;GConf is meant to be a way for developers to easily store user preferences and system administrators to set default values for particular preferences. In most cases, there is no need for a user to edit Gconf keys directly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The vast majority of keys correspond to entries in the various applications' preference menus. Though on occasion, developers will use Gconf keys as a way to enable undocumented features. These are &quot;hidden&quot; from users for a number of reasons. Sometimes the feature is still a work in progress. Other times it is a feature that the developer wants to do away with but still leave accessible to users that don't want to give it up. Frequently, the features are targeted at &quot;power users,&quot; and the developer simply doesn't want to clutter up the normal preference dialog.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In some ways it is similar to Windows' Registry. One major difference is that, unlike the Windows' Registry, Gconf does not store system settings. It only stores application preferences. While editing Gconf keys may potentially cause minor issues with specific programs, it should never lead to system wide issues such as rendering your system unbootable. In fact, deleting the entire &lt;code&gt;~/.gconf&lt;/code&gt; directory will simply revert all programs using Gconf back to their defaults.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Managing Gconf from the command-line.&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The program &lt;code&gt;gconftool-2&lt;/code&gt; allows the user to interact with Gconf from the command-line. It is often simpler to enter a one line command in the terminal than digging around in Gconf's GUI tool. For instance, if you would like to show the icon for you trash on the desktop simply run:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;gconftool-2 --set /apps/nautilus/desktop/trash_icon_visible --type=bool true&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This also illustrates what I meant by key-value pair above. In this case, the key is &lt;code&gt;/apps/nautilus/desktop/trash_icon_visible&lt;/code&gt; which has a value of &lt;code&gt;true&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can perform a variety of operations with &lt;code&gt;gconftool-2&lt;/code&gt;. If you'd simply like to see a key's value, use &lt;code&gt;--get&lt;/code&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;gconftool-2 --get /apps/nautilus/desktop/trash_icon_visible&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you'd simply like to reset a value to its default, use &lt;code&gt;--unset&lt;/code&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;gconftool-2 --unset /apps/nautilus/desktop/trash_icon_visible&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;gconftool-2&lt;/code&gt; can be particularly useful for system administrators. For instance,  &lt;code&gt;/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory&lt;/code&gt; can be used to set mandatory preferences for all users. Further information on more advanced uses can be found with &lt;code&gt;man gconftool-2&lt;/code&gt; as well as in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/gconf-1.html.en&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;GNOME Desktop System Administration Guide&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;How do I use the Gconf editor?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What was your question again? Oh, that's right: How do I use the Gconf editor?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;gconf-editor&lt;/code&gt; is the graphical interface to manage Gconf settings. By default, it is not displayed in the menus. The easiest way to start it is by pressing &lt;kbd&gt;Alt&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;F2&lt;/kbd&gt; to bring up the &quot;Run Dialog.&quot; Next, enter &lt;code&gt;gconf-editor&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;gconf-editor&lt;/code&gt; allows you to browse through the key-value pairs in a tree. Let's look at the example from above. Browse to &lt;code&gt;apps &amp;gt; nautilus &amp;gt; desktop&lt;/code&gt; and you will see the &lt;code&gt;trash_icon_visible&lt;/code&gt; key.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/MlKzc.png&quot; alt=&quot;gconf-editor&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="570" LastEditorUserId="866" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2011-01-02T21:31:06.697" LastActivityDate="2011-01-02T21:31:06.697" />

Every program has all three, so to speak. The pipe-operator redirects a programs output to another programs input.

And you would get your terminal to print in colour by escaping the instruction with &lt;code&gt;\33[&lt;/code&gt; and ending it with an &lt;code&gt;m&lt;/code&gt;. 33, or 1B in hexadecimal, is the ascii sign &quot;ESCAPE&quot; (a special character in the ascii character set).

If that port is not available, it won't be laggy, it just won't work.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A lot of DSL modems come equipped with their own lightweight DHCP servers. They acquire an IP address from your ISP, and use NAT to assign local addresses to computers/routers on your internal network. What it means for a modem to be in bridge mode is that it no longer does this. It simply forwards the IP address to the connecting device, a.k.a your router.

Once executable the file will change.  It should now appear as the icon and name you chose rather than &quot;kile.desktop&quot;.

Another way, is to create a shell script.

Now you ought to be able to launch Kile directly by executing the file, or you can add the path to kile.sh to your launcher file's Exec= field:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;Exec=/path/to/kile.sh&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, if you put kile.sh in your $PATH, such as ~/bin, you'll be able to launch Kile by typing &lt;code&gt;kile.sh&lt;/code&gt; in a terminal rather than the long command.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If none of that works then I have made a typo :)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1910" LastEditorUserId="1910" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-12-14T17:42:27.143" LastActivityDate="2010-12-14T17:42:27.143" CommentCount="6" />

If you happen to have at least a full week of testing with no problem you can delete the old ones and update the configuration of grub.

It offers session persistence, different distribution methods (Round Robin, Random, Weighted Random, Least Session, Least Bandwidth, Hash, Agent, and Randomized Agent) and a customizable UDP health check agent in source code. It supports VRRP to set up high availability configurations on multiple nodes. It supports SNMP, integrating the BALANCENG-MIB with Net-SNMPD.

I pretty much only learned how this works by looking at how it is done in other packages. As with most things in Debian packaging, there are a few ways to do this. I find the simplest way is to use &lt;code&gt;debian/package.install&lt;/code&gt; files. Here's an example of a package I've worked on, &lt;a href=&quot;http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~andrewsomething/imagination/debian/files&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;imagination (bzr branch)&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First, we need to create the package in &lt;a href=&quot;http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~andrewsomething/imagination/debian/annotate/head%3A/debian/control&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;debian/control&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. There are three stanzas now. One for the source package and one for each binary package. Note that the foo-data package should be &lt;code&gt;Architecture: all&lt;/code&gt;. Also note that imagination Depends on &lt;code&gt;imagination-common (= ${source:Version})&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Next, we create a &lt;code&gt;debian/imagination.install&lt;/code&gt; file. This contains the specific files or paths which we want to end up in the imagination package. For this package we want all the architecture dependent files. The desktop file is included as it needs to say with the binary that it calls in its &lt;code&gt;Exec:&lt;/code&gt; line.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;usr/bin/&#xA;usr/lib/&#xA;/usr/share/applications/imagination.desktop&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We need to create a &lt;code&gt;debian/imagination-common.install&lt;/code&gt; file.

You&#xA;  can use the upstream Makefile to&#xA;  install it all into debian/tmp, and&#xA;  then use dh_install to copy&#xA;  directories and files from there into&#xA;  the proper package build directories.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What it means by &quot;the proper package build directories&quot; is that by the end of the build process, everything that will be in the resulting &lt;code&gt;foo.deb&lt;/code&gt; will be found in &lt;code&gt;src/debian/foo&lt;/code&gt;. The files that will end up in &lt;code&gt;foo-data.deb&lt;/code&gt; will be found in &lt;code&gt;src/debian/foo-data&lt;/code&gt;.

An example preseed file can be found at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.debian.org/releases/lenny/example-preseed.txt&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;debian website&lt;/a&gt;. The example provides most of the options that you may want to modify.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When it gets down to implementation, there are a few more steps to be followed:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obtain the image. You can choose between a full image and a &lt;a href=&quot;http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;mini iso&lt;/a&gt; which downloads a fresh copy of packages off the internet. The process is slightly different, but mostly analogous.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once you have the image, you need to extract files from the iso. There might be a one-step way to do this, but this is how I've always done it like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 mini.iso /mnt&#xA;cp -rf /mnt /path/to/extractdir&#xA;sudo umount /mnt&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now you create the preseed file that you want to use. In the mini iso, since you don't really have a hierarchy, just put it in the root folder. In the regular server install, put it in the preseed folder. It is your choice where you want to put it/what you want to call it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once you have the preseed, you need to specify it to the kernel. In the mini iso, you need to edit &lt;code&gt;text.cfg&lt;/code&gt;, or in the full install, &lt;code&gt;isolinux/text.cfg&lt;/code&gt; to include your preseed by editing the &lt;code&gt;APPEND&lt;/code&gt; line as follows:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;APPEND arg1 arg2=value2 arg3 ... file=/cdrom/path/to/preseed/file locale=en_US console-setup/ask_detect=false console-setup/layout=us --&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Don't remove existing values unless you know what you're doing&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once you're done modifying the preseed and text.cfg files, you need to repack things as an ISO. To do this, you need to put isolinux on the CD to make it bootable. Now, &lt;code&gt;cd&lt;/code&gt; to the root directory of the extracted image, and do the following [taken from the syslinux website:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;mkdir CD_root&#xA;mkisofs -o output.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -l -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table CD_root&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You need to add the &lt;code&gt;-l&lt;/code&gt; (or &lt;code&gt;-iso-level 2&lt;/code&gt;)flag to support longer file names.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your iso is at &lt;code&gt;output.iso&lt;/code&gt; and ready to be burned!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="4947" LastEditorUserId="235" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-12-16T17:21:07.280" LastActivityDate="2010-12-16T17:21:07.280" />

Linux allows the '.' character to be used as part of the file name but Windows reserves it for separating the file extension.

File extensions are only used to make it easier for a user to tell what type of file they are dealing with - hiding this would hide useful information. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="667" LastActivityDate="2010-12-15T11:31:34.307" CommentCount="2" />

You can use &lt;code&gt;sudo fdisk -l&lt;/code&gt; to list all connected storage devices, and try to find your external hard drive there. &lt;strong&gt;Make sure that this is the correct device, as picking the wrong device will erase data on that device instead.&lt;/strong&gt; Make sure to unmount all currently mounted partitions on that device, if any.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then type:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;sudo shred -v /dev/sdb&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;(replacing &lt;code&gt;/dev/sdb&lt;/code&gt; with the name of your device). &lt;code&gt;shred&lt;/code&gt; would then overwrite all the data on the device with random data three times. You can add the option &lt;code&gt;-n&lt;/code&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;code&gt;N&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/em&gt; to only do this &lt;em&gt;N&lt;/em&gt; times, to save time on large capacity devices. This might take a while, depending on the size of your external hard drive (I think it takes twenty minutes or so for my 4 GB flash drive).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can also set all bits to zero after the last iteration by adding the option &lt;code&gt;-z&lt;/code&gt; - I prefer to do this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;After this, you would have to repartition the device.

Then select &lt;strong&gt;Device -&gt; Create partition table&lt;/strong&gt; to create a partition table on the device.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then add a single partition that uses all of the unallocated space on the device, choosing &lt;em&gt;fat32&lt;/em&gt; as the file system.

So there is a backup set which goes to Milly, and another one which goes to Sto_Lat, once every 15 minutes (these are the names of the external drives). When I have at some point started the computer without these drives, Crashplan has found no folders under &lt;code&gt;/media/Milly&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;/media/Sto_Lat&lt;/code&gt;, so it has just created them and has written backups to them. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For some reason, Disk Analyzer does not show these folders when started without sudo.

Then the other route would be to use a raster based software such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gimp.org/screenshots/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the GIMP&lt;/a&gt; which allows you to design like if you were to be using Adobe Photoshop.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vector&lt;/strong&gt; =  Lines and Curves&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Scales better if you want to later on resize your image but only works well when creating original works without any photos.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Raster&lt;/strong&gt; = Dots per inch or DPI&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Mostly used for modifying photos or creating digital art work with photos.

If you choose not to create a real Linux file system.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can't convert them easily and safely. If you want to change a file system, you should back up the data anyway. And if you do, creating a new partition and restoring the data to it makes a lot more sense. I'm relatively sure there isn't a stable implementation of NTFS to ext4 conversion. File systems are awesomely complicated. :-)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you have only the one hard drive, and no possibility of backing it all up, I'd recommend to touch it as little as possible.

If so, there is every reason to expect that it should be less efficient than serial copying.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First, if you assume that the disk is infinitely fast, then there will be the system overhead of context switches between multiple copying processes. In extreme cases you could start enough copying processes that they could not all fit in core at once and then you'd have to add virtual memory swapping to the system's overhead.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But disks are not infinitely fast, and gathering multiple files as requested by multiple processes will likely require drive seeks which are the slowest operation on a mechanical drive. The kernel does try to re-order drive accesses to minimize the head seeks required, but this is difficult to make optimal as the system can't predict what will be requested in the future.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally, the system has to protect certain data structures (e.g. the free block list) from being manipulated by multiple processes concurrently which it does by blocking processes P2, P3, P4... Pn while P1 is allocating space.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Because your question is ambiguous, another answer is that if you select a bunch of files in nautilus and copy them elsewhere with a single drag-drop, nautilus only creates a single process to produce the copies sequentially.

A user either has root access or not, and root access implies complete control of a machine.

I would look in /etc/init.d to see if there are any startup scripts that look like they are for Crashplan. You can easily temporarily prevent a startup script from running at boot time by running:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;sudo update-rc.d script-name disable&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Where script-name is the name of the script you see in /etc/init.d that you want to disable. It can be re-enabled later by running:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;sudo update-rc.d script-name enable&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This will put things back the way they were before you disabled the script.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, the website says you can stop crashplan temporarily by running:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;sudo /usr/local/crashplan/bin/CrashPlanEngine stop&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The path is dependent on where you installed crashplan and will probably only stop the currently running process.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One last thing. I find that ps -ax provides more information than ps -A and can be useful when trying to find a running process, especially when the output is piped to grep. If I were looking for a process associated with crashplan I would try a command like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;ps -ax | grep Crash&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I hope this helps!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="3018" LastActivityDate="2010-12-18T15:25:47.137" />

What you're doing in &lt;code&gt;/etc/hosts&lt;/code&gt; is close but it doesn't accept wildcards. This is a shame because, like you, this sort of setup would really help me from time to time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Anyway, remove the wildcard entry from &lt;code&gt;/etc/hosts&lt;/code&gt; and then edit your network connection. If it's wired, you can edit &lt;code&gt;/etc/networking/interfaces&lt;/code&gt;, if it's not, you can just go in through network manager.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Either way, set the connection type to &quot;Automatic DHCP (Address only)&quot; or &quot;Manual&quot; and then set the DNS server as &lt;code&gt;127.0.0.1&lt;/code&gt;. I assume you're not running a DNS proxy server on the machine (otherwise this won't work).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In network manager, this will look something like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://imgur.com/XstBQ.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Click apply. It'll hopefully reconnect and then websites not listed explicitly in &lt;code&gt;/etc/hosts&lt;/code&gt; should not resolve.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The workaround that any user can use is they can just type in the IP of the website they want to connect to. You'd need to break more gateway settings to fully neuter the machine.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note this will probably cut you off from updates. If you want to still get updates, add manual DNS strings to &lt;code&gt;/etc/hosts&lt;/code&gt; for each server you connect to (look at what &lt;code&gt;sudo apt-get update&lt;/code&gt; does.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="449" LastActivityDate="2010-12-18T15:44:17.503" />

So you are pretty safe using Firefox add-ons manager or even downloading from Mozilla add-ons site, as long as you don't download unapproved extensions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Downloading from Mozilla has the benefit of getting the most up-to-date versions, which is particularly important for extensions that needs to be updated frequently. For instance I had to release a new version of one of my extensions 10 days ago, because it stopped working due changes on YouTube web site. Six days later, Vimeo changed their web site too and the extension stopped working again, so now I'm rewriting the extension.

They have a &lt;a href=&quot;https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:7&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;page about plugins&lt;/a&gt; and the browser has a functionality to check for plugin versions, but the update process is done via developer site.

Some installers give you an option to leave part of your harddisk unpartitioned - very good idea when you plan to install Ubuntu later.

At the grub menu when you're booting up, select a previous kernel (if you have the option to select which kernel you use). Example if you're using 2.6.35-23, try using 2.6.35-22. When it boots into Ubuntu using that previous kernel, try installing packages again. If it works without giving you any errors, you can safely know that your current kernel is broken. An option would be to just the kernel that works. If that does work, you will have to change your grub2 list to automatically boot into the previous kernel.

Network Manager handles the connection of wireless (and wired to some extent) connections and that won't jump into action until a privileged logs in.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can circumvent it slightly by enabling auto-login (through System -&gt; Administration -&gt; Login Screen Settings) but this would reduce security. You could hop around &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt; problem by having the desktop lock itself by adding &lt;code&gt;xdg-screensaver lock&lt;/code&gt; as a start-up application (System -&gt; Preferences -&gt; Start up applications).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As João suggests, you'll probably need to make the connection &quot;Available to all users&quot; so that it doesn't ask for a keyring password (which obviously wouldn't get entered if nobody was there).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That's probably only practical if it's a single-user machine and it might not be as secure as not logging in at all.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another method would be to take away the connection from Network Manager and have the underlying networking layer do the connection. You could try something like this in your &lt;code&gt;/etc/network/interfaces&lt;/code&gt; file:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;auto wifi0&#xA;iface wifi0 inet dhcp&#xA;    wireless-essid YOUR-AP-ESSID&#xA;    wireless-ap 00:11:22:33:44:55&#xA;    wireless-key YOUR-AP-KEY&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Obviously replace &lt;code&gt;wifi0&lt;/code&gt; with the wireless interface, &lt;code&gt;YOUR-AP-ESSID&lt;/code&gt; with the wireless access-point's ESSID, &lt;code&gt;00:11:22:33:44:55&lt;/code&gt; with the MAC address of the AP and &lt;code&gt;YOUR-AP-KEY&lt;/code&gt; with the proper key.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This has the side effect that anybody on the system can just &lt;code&gt;cat /etc/network/interfaces&lt;/code&gt; and find your AP key. That might be bad... It depends on how secret it needs to remain. But only logged in people could see it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This might not work and it might even make Network Manager explode. I can't say.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In the same vein as above, here is a blog post about using &lt;code&gt;wpa_supplicant&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;/etc/network/interfaces&lt;/code&gt;: &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.nelhage.com/2008/08/using-wpa_supplicant-on-debianubuntu/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://blog.nelhage.com/2008/08/using-wpa_supplicant-on-debianubuntu/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's quite a old post but it might be slightly more secure than straight-up embedding your connection information into &lt;code&gt;/etc/network/interfaces&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;If we're just talking about a wired connection...&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I notice that on newer installs of Ubuntu, the auto-connect state has been removed from &lt;code&gt;/etc/network/interfaces&lt;/code&gt; for desktops.

It's a really powerful tool and I'll try to explain it and provide a workaround for a common gotcha.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What xargs does is take a line from the input, and append it to another command, executing that other command for every line in the input. So by typing &lt;code&gt;locate foobar | xargs rm -f&lt;/code&gt;, the output of the locate command will be &lt;strong&gt;patched onto the end&lt;/strong&gt; of the &lt;code&gt;rm -f&lt;/code&gt; command, and executed for each line produced by &lt;code&gt;locate foobar&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The gotcha:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But what if there are spaces in your line(s) returned by locate? That will break the &lt;code&gt;rm -f&lt;/code&gt; command because the arguments passed to rm need to be files (unless you use the -r switch), and a file-path needs to be escaped or quoted if it contains spaces.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;xargs provides the -i switch, to &lt;em&gt;substitute&lt;/em&gt; the input into the command that follows instead of just appending it.

It provides simplifications of common OpenGL patterns (pushing and popping clipping rectangles, changing render targets, state setting, etc), however it does not directly forbid users from making raw OpenGL calls themselves. NuxGraphics provides abstractions for textures and loading/unloading data.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Nux is a widget library implemented on top of NuxCore and NuxGraphics. Nux contains a duplicate for almost every major widget in the GTK stack as well as several composition widgets (color picker, graphs, 3d views). The Nux widgets are not yet at the same level of complexity as GTK widgets, lacking advanced text rendering (being fixed) and clear theming support.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Rendering inside of nux could be described as “canvas style”. Nux provides a painter to perform basic drawing primitives which can be used in addition to embedding other widgets. So rather than embedding an hbar to create a horizontal line, a widget author may, at their choice, use the painter to draw the bar directly. Images may also be rendered in this fashion, rather the embedding an additional widget simply to render a static non-reactive image. This does not however rule out simply embedding widgets.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In Unity nux is used in what we call “Embedded Mode”. Essentially nux provides a function for painting itself in a foreign open gl context. We call the paint function and nux blits itself onto the backbuffer. We can then continue to paint on top of it if we desire (sometimes we allow compiz to do this). There are functions provided to do opengl state management in embedded mode.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="7121" LastActivityDate="2010-12-21T18:38:45.423" />

The metadata is written in EXIF, IPTC and/or XMP format (depending on which of these were present in the photo to begin with).  Most other photo programs can read these formats, so if you export your photos from Shotwell then other programs should be able to read their tags with no problem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The upcoming Shotwell 0.8 can write metadata to photo files on the fly - to enable this, select the option &quot;Write tags, titles and other metadata to photo files&quot; in the preferences dialog.

Except so far it can only change, install and uninstall sound themes. The intention is to bring standardisation to sound themes and to make them easy to install like with Gtk and icon themes currently. There is a catch with the 'install' - it is designed to install sound theme packages created by the program itself and as the program hasn't yet a UI to create sound themes, this is pretty useless.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/Hvw1u.png&quot; alt=&quot;sound theme manager&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, you can create the sound theme packages manually. They are .tar.gz files with 1 folder with the same name as your sound theme. In this folder there is one file called index.theme and one folder containing the sounds, normally called stereo. This is in the same format as you will find sound themes in &lt;code&gt;/usr/share/sounds&lt;/code&gt;. For example, the 'Ubuntu' theme (in &lt;code&gt;/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu&lt;/code&gt;) has the index.theme file:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;[Sound Theme]&#xA;Name=Ubuntu&#xA;Directories=stereo&#xA;&#xA;[stereo]&#xA;OutputProfile=stereo&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And the following sounds in the stereo folder:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;bell.ogg               desktop-logout.ogg      message-new-instant.ogg  system-ready.ogg&#xA;button-pressed.ogg     dialog-error.ogg        phone-incoming-call.ogg  window-slide.ogg&#xA;button-toggle-off.ogg  dialog-information.ogg  phone-outgoing-busy.ogg&#xA;button-toggle-on.ogg   dialog-question.ogg     service-login.ogg&#xA;desktop-login.ogg      dialog-warning.ogg      service-logout.ogg&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All of this follows the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/sound-theme-spec&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;freedesktop.org specification&lt;/a&gt;. For a simple list of all possible sound names, see the beginning of &lt;a href=&quot;http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~david4dev/sound-theme-manager/python-rewrite/annotate/head:/soundtheme.py&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this file&lt;/a&gt;. Sounds should be .ogg, .oga or .wav files.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For creating your own sound theme, it is probably best to make a copy of &lt;code&gt;/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu&lt;/code&gt; and edit that. You can then make the folder into a tar.gz archive so that it can be installed using Sound Theme Manager. If you are going to distribute on, for example, &lt;a href=&quot;http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=25&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;gnome-look&lt;/a&gt;, I would suggest to use this format.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The developer (me) has been busy with other projects (see my profile) for the last few weeks and is now busy with revision :( so the development isn't that active at the moment.

It's equipped with a TNT2 (yes, I swear), and that mode was promptly displayed on first boot. Problem is, it does this by loading the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;nouveau&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; driver, and this guy is still a bit faulty (in my case, it hangs the whole system when trying to move windows). So, to have an usable system, I had to downgrade to the old and stable &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;nv&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; driver, and also disabling mode-setting ('cause the kernel would always load nouveau when enabled). Note that I'm not using nVidia proprietary drivers, but like you, I was switched back to 80x25 in console mode.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is because the nv driver doesn't use kernel &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode-setting&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;mode-setting&lt;/a&gt;. Now, I don't know about the proprietary drivers, but I'm guessing they might have changed your configuration in order to be usable, and possibly that's why you're seeing that &quot;big&quot; mode. Possibly they disabled mode-setting when installed. That's why you see the &quot;small&quot; text mode when booting from the Live CD.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You could try booting up with a different VESA mode, but that depends a lot on your hardware. For that, please check &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions#Linux_video_mode_numbers&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions#Linux_video_mode_numbers&lt;/a&gt;. For example, if you'd like to try booting your text mode on 1024x640, you'll find that the mode ID is 877.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, when booting, hold the SHIFT key (in case you don't have a GRUB timeout) to bring up GRUB's menu. Select the mode which you wish to boot and press 'e' (to edit the commands). At the end of the &quot;kernel&quot; command, add &lt;code&gt;vga=877&lt;/code&gt;. The number is the mode ID, if you want to try other modes, replace it with the desired number.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, at that same Wikipedia page, you could also try the helpful &quot;Universal format&quot; right below the modes table. That &lt;em&gt;hwinfo&lt;/em&gt; command is quite useful.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="7521" LastActivityDate="2010-12-22T04:11:44.090" CommentCount="2" />

You can check the &lt;code&gt;extensions.ini&lt;/code&gt; file in the active profile for anything suspicious, but as I say, it may bear no fruit.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To get things back to normal, let's shake Firefox:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Nuke the old profile.&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here's a little script that moves the old profile to another location. I'm making this up as I go, so there might be a bug or two in it. You should be able to copy and paste this into a terminal.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/&#xA;export FFPROFILE=`cat profiles.ini | grep &quot;Path=&quot; | sed 's/^Path=//'`&#xA;mv $FFPROFILE $FFPROFILE.BAK&#xA;rm profiles.ini&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When Firefox next launches, it will create a new profile.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Save bookmarks, saved passwords, etc&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;After firefox has created the new profile, you can go to &lt;code&gt;~/.mozilla/firefox/&lt;/code&gt; in nautilus and copy back some of the files into the new profile and then deletes the profile configuration file so that Firefox has to create a new profile. Start by closing Firefox and then punch these lines into a terminal:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/&#xA;export FFPROFILE=`cat profiles.ini | grep &quot;Path=&quot; | sed 's/^Path=//'`&#xA;export OLDFFPROFILE=`ls -1 | grep .BAK`&#xA;cp $OLDFFPROFILE/*.sqlite $FFPROFILE/&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can of course do both these parts manually. It's actually easier to do it manually, you just need to know your way around the filesystem a little better.

If this is correct, you can significantly enhance your safety by disconnecting the system drive before attempting to install; although this will prevent GRUB from finding the Windows installation. This is easily remedied, however. When you finish installing, reconnect your drive and set the BIOS to boot from the second one (which will now have GRUB installed.)

You should then verify that /etc/default/grub (the GRUB configuration file) has GRUB_TIMEOUT set to something over 0 so you will see the boot menu with &lt;code&gt;sudo gedit /etc/default/grub&lt;/code&gt;. If not, change it and run &lt;code&gt;sudo update-grub&lt;/code&gt; again.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, be sure that when you reach the phase of the installation where you are asked for a partitioning scheme you are absolutely certain of what you are telling Ubuntu to do. It will default to utilizing the entire disk, so be cautious. Otherwise, everything should be just hunky dory! If you run into any trouble, feel free to ask questions here.

If this happens, the effort the rest of the community had to put in to bring this person up to speed on what's going would be wasted, and whatever project they joined would have had to slow down a little bit while they settled in and learned the ropes, and that would have gone to waste also.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="2405" LastActivityDate="2010-12-23T13:15:40.670" />

Fsync is a system operation that ensures that your data is written to disk before continuing. Generally you want this, as it makes recovering from power outages and failures easier, faster, and less data lossy. It comes at a price though; anything calling fsycn will have to wait it's turn in line, rather than simply delivering data to the kernel to write at some later date. And in some, perhaps even many filesystems, fsync will write out all data, not just the stuff you're interested in protecting. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are some specific situations where fsync isn't worth the cost. Imagine you have a server that number crunches a bunch of data. Rather than pointing this at a live database, it might be faster to dump into a consistent local database, install eatmydata to turn off fsync, and let that go. This can still crash and lose data, but since it's not the only copy of anything, you can just restart the process from scratch. Or, for example, Ubuntu's build servers, where all we care about is the final package produced. Or, on the desktop side, if a program (like Firefox) is syncing so much it's slowing the entire system down.

These are the steps I took to install my (NVidia) graphics drivers (&lt;a href=&quot;http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1258788&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;original forum post&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Save the .run file in your home folder. This should have the path &lt;code&gt;/home/YOURUSERNAME&lt;/code&gt;. You can get to this from &lt;code&gt;Places-&amp;gt;Home Folder&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Press &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;Alt&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;F1&lt;/kbd&gt;. This should bring up a text mode command line interface.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Log in by first entering your user name then your password. Note that when you enter your password you will not see the letters of your password appear on the screen while you type. This is normal and is done for security reasons.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once logged in, enter the following commands by typing them in, then pressing &lt;kbd&gt;enter&lt;/kbd&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;cd ~&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;sudo chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.36-pkg1.run&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.36-pkg1.run&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wait for the installer to finish then enter this command: &lt;code&gt;sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start&lt;/code&gt;. This should bring back the graphical interface.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I'm not entirely sure if this step is required and, to be honest, I don't know what it does but when I installed the driver I opened a terminal &lt;code&gt;Applications-&amp;gt;Accessories-&amp;gt;Terminal&lt;/code&gt; and entered this command: &lt;code&gt;sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals&lt;/code&gt;. This enabled me to enable visual effects.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Installing other programs from .run files&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Occasionally, some applications and games (eg. some from the Humble Indie Bundle) have .run installers. Before installing using these, check to see if:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;it is available from the Software Centre&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;it is available as a .deb file, which will open in the Software Centre&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can install .run files from the graphical interface, but using a terminal is more likely to give you useful feedback. To install a .run file you need to:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;make it executable.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;execute it&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is because .run files are just executable programs that do some unknown magic to install the program. This is similar to what .exe installers do on Windows and is different to the normal methods (at best, using the Software Centre, at worst using .deb files) in which applications are installed in a standard way and can be easily removed. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Graphical Method&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Right click on the file in the file manager and click 'Properties'. Click the 'Permissions' tab and tick the box that says 'Allow executing file as program'.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Double click the file to execute it.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If this method doesn't work, try using the terminal method.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Terminal Method&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Assume the file is called &lt;code&gt;some-app.run&lt;/code&gt; and is in the folder &lt;code&gt;/home/user/Downloads&lt;/code&gt;. You will need to modify these instructions to fit your situation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Open a terminal (Applications-&gt;Accessories-&gt;Terminal).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;enter &lt;code&gt;cd /home/user/Downloads&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;enter &lt;code&gt;chmod +x some-app.run&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;enter &lt;code&gt;./some-app.run&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;if&lt;/strong&gt; step 4 fails with a message including 'permission denied', try entering &lt;code&gt;sudo ./some-app.run&lt;/code&gt; (you will need to enter your password for this).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Notes&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Sometimes you will come across .bin files.

Some observations:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;NX Server: not so speedy (v3, still awaiting v4), might pose performance issues depending on your environment. The QT-based client software is clunky but better than any open source implementations. Can't share a user's session remotely.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;FreeNX: similar to NX Server, not the fastest, no opensource client software worth mentioning. I used this for 16+ months. Can't share a user's session remotely.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;neatx: has some showstopper bugs, eg. the session disconnect bug that won't let you login again using the same login credentials if your session fails (clear temp files using another login, then it works until your next failure). This is a 1+ year old bug IIRC. I used this for 10+ months. Can't share a user's session remotely.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;VNC: ultra slow, no inbuilt security, however the client software options are pretty good for *nix/Windows platforms. No good VNC server for OSX yet. Unique selling point: CAN see a user's screen. Sufficient for remote desktop support but nothing else. Used this at a Windows &quot;managed services&quot; shop for the past few years, mostly K-VNC (enterprise) and UltraVNC servers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;x2go: fast, polished, the best so far.

Here is the trick.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Follow the instructions on the download website to create an installer USB stick. You can do this in the Windows installation that comes with the netbook. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Now restart your netbook immediately and hit ESC immediately. This will launch the BIOS settings manager.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Here go to boot settings. Now you &lt;strong&gt;do not need to change the boot order to have &quot;removable devices booted first&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;. Rather, from the menu entry under boot sequence, enter the submenu &quot;Hard drives&quot; (or something like that) and here change the priority of the drives such that your USB stick is booted first, and not your HDD. It might be confusing that your stick is not handled as a removable device, so watch up at this point.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Install Ubuntu! Some notes on the installation: There will be 4 partitions. The last one is a seemingly unnecessary one with 21MB of empty space. &lt;strong&gt;Keep this one.&lt;/strong&gt; It is used internall by the Eee PC to speed up the boot. The rest can be erased. Also, at some points the installation might be really slow, or even frozen. &lt;strong&gt;Be patient&lt;/strong&gt;, it is not. It might take as long as 10 minutes, but then it should work.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Boot and enjoy.

Any Intel will do. Nvidia, although very good, heats up very fast the laptop and you will always need some kind of cooling system to have a normal temperature inside the laptop. Most heat problems in laptops are do to some of the Nvidia cards if not all. Having a source of heat so strong inside a laptop is a bad idea if the laptop does not count with a very good cooling system.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you are into Desktop, i highly recommend NVIDIA. From a GeForce 4200 and above you should be fine using Compiz with full effects. With TNT and Geforce 2 cards i recommend having Compiz with less effects. But overall NVIDIA has a VERY GOOD performance using the proprietary drivers. (The Nouveau Open Source drivers are also good but not for 3D games yet)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;ATI has many issues still (Am a Ati hater still) but i can not put aside the fact that Ati/AMD has made open sourced the Ati Code which has improved many times over from the beginnings of this year up to now. Ati drivers have come a VERY long way in so little time and i have a big hunch (I hope it does not happen for Nvidia lovers sake ;) ) than next year we will see a very strong Ati Open Sourced driver that can deliver even better than the Nvidia closed source. Please do remember that just a year ago, the Closed source Ati driver for linux was several times better than the Open Sourced one and now the Open Sourced and Closed Source are very much like (And in some instances better than the closed one). So despite the fact that i hate Ati, i see a very bright sun shiny future for it in the coming months. (Arggg i still hate you hehe)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So in conclusion, for the time being:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Use INTEL if you are using a laptop and want the laptop to last several years ALIVE!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Use NVIDIA if you want to play games, use compiz effects a lot, etc...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Use ATI closed/open drivers but be warned that you will have problems sometimes with compiz effects, games, etc.. At least for the time being.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For you question about &quot;are all NVIDIA cards alright&quot; yes they are. From an 16MB TNT to a 9800 1GB Ram and up. But be sure to use the correct drivers for it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For VERY old than Geforce 4 or less use: nvidia-glx-96&#xA;For Geforce 4 up to starting the 6xxx series use: nvidia-glx-173&#xA;For 6xxx series up to the last one use: nvidia-glx-185&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note that you can use any of them for any card but that combination made above is the best you can have. Do not limit yourself with for example, if you have a 6xxx series card and do not know which one to use, go for the last nvidia-glx version. But if you are sure to have a very old one, i recommend the 96 version of nvidia-glx.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Hope all this info helps you.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="7035" LastActivityDate="2010-12-25T21:59:39.467" />

You can then play the ISO file using &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.videolan.org/vlc/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;VLC&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/vlc&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://bit.ly/software-small&quot; alt=&quot;install VLC&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt; or mount it and use it as if you had inserted the DVD into the drive.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is a really easy method that can be used for non evil DVDs. Simply insert the DVD, right click on the desktop icon that appears and click 'Copy Disk...'.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/NBIPR.png&quot; alt=&quot;alt text&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then choose to output to an image file:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/DPhvD.png&quot; alt=&quot;alt text&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This will create the ISO file. However, some companies feel the need to deliberately corrupt the DVD in a (successful) attempt to stop us making copies (which we are legally entitled to do for personal use) of our DVDs. If they do this, like in the DVD I am using for the screenshots, Brasero, the software used to copy the disk will crash.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is an alternative method to copy DVDs that uses the command line with this command:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;dd if=/dev/dvd of=~/dvd_backup.iso&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If this fails also, which is likely for evil corrupted DVDs, you will get output similar to this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;dd: reading `/dev/dvd': Input/output error&#xA;572352+0 records in&#xA;572352+0 records out&#xA;293044224 bytes (293 MB) copied, 145.3 s, 2.0 MB/s&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Next step, try using &lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.ubuntu.com/gddrescue&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;gddrescue&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/gddrescue&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://bit.ly/software-small&quot; alt=&quot;install gddrescue&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Once installed, you can use this command that will hopefully copy the data from the DVD using a technique that was originally designed for rescuing data from failing or corrupted hard disks:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;ddrescue -d /dev/dvd ~/dvd_backup.iso ~/dvd_backup.log&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This may work (it has done in the past for me) but it also may fail (which it did this time for me).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If all of these methods are exhausted, it seems unlikely that you will be able to create an ISO file, but you can rip the DVD using various software (I recommend VLC for this). This isn't ideal but is your only option (that I know) left once you have tried all the other options. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="667" LastActivityDate="2010-12-26T12:32:55.240" />

That will be &lt;code&gt;10-evdev.conf&lt;/code&gt;. But before we open it we need the synaptic edges values.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First go to the terminal (ALT+F2 and type &lt;strong&gt;gnome-terminal&lt;/strong&gt;. Press ENTER) and type: &lt;code&gt;xinput list&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Look for the device that is the one you want to work with. Grab the ID from the input you want to work with.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In my case i have the following output:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/gIEzY.png&quot; alt=&quot;xinput&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The one i want to work with is &lt;strong&gt;SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad&lt;/strong&gt; with an ID of 11.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now we type: &lt;code&gt;xinput list-props ID | grep Edges&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;(ID is the number you grabbed from the ID in the xinput list)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;in my case i typed &lt;code&gt;xinput list-props 11 | grep Edges&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;and the output was this: &lt;strong&gt;Synaptics Edges (276):  1752, 5192, 1620, 4236&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Take note of the 4 Edges numbers (They go in the order: Left, Right, Top, Bottom)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Open 10-evdev.conf: &lt;code&gt;sudo nano 10-evdev.conf&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Inside the 10-evdev.conf file you will find several &lt;strong&gt;InputClass&lt;/strong&gt; Sections. You need to look for the section that has &lt;strong&gt;MatchIsTouchpad &quot;on&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; in it. That would be the third one for me.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;ADD at the bottom of the section the 4 positions in order like this&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/jJuhA.png&quot; alt=&quot;10-evdev.conf&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;SAVE and Reboot. This is to test if it is working. If for some reason you made a mistake, select in the grub menu Recovery Mode, load in terminal as root and edit the file again and remove the lines or repair the problem. Either way, if you run terminal as root in the recovery mode, type &lt;strong&gt;startx&lt;/strong&gt; and it will log out where the error is found and how to fix it. The beauty of linux is that it not only SHOWS you where the error is, in most cases it TELLS you how to fix it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If it reboots normally then NOW YOU CAN START EDITING. Go to 10-evdev.conf:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;sudo nano 10-evdev.conf&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And start lowering the values to the one you feel more perfect.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In my case i lowered the RightEdge value every 1000 points. Just for testing. Of course reducing the RightEdge increases the space you have to SCROLL up/down. Of course, this way, you have now the ability to increase/decrease every area of your synaptic. And this answers your question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Lets now take the code you put up in the question: &lt;strong&gt;xinput --set-prop --type=int --format=32 11 252 1781 5125 1646 4582&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In your case you have:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Option &quot;LeftEdge&quot; &quot;1781&quot;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;Option &quot;RightEdge&quot; &quot;5125&quot;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;Option &quot;TopEdge&quot; &quot;1646&quot;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;Option &quot;BottomEdge&quot; &quot;4582&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Simply edit the section in 10-evdev.conf with your values. Then start lowering the RighEdge value. I recommend to start with lowering every 512 points (since 5125 divided by 10 = 512.5 which is 10% of the total). So you would be modifying 10% each time you lower it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;NOTE: The values MUST BE between double quotes (&quot;&quot;)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;More info here: &lt;a href=&quot;http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man4/synaptics.4.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man4/synaptics.4.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The information you will find in that link is up-to-date and show the several places where you can find the xorg configuration files apart from the several options you can use to customize your synaptic any way you want.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is also a neat program called gpointing-device-settings (apt-get install gpointing-device-settings) which does some of the stuff.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In any case it worked great, very nice to have the ability to decide how much you want for scroll and how much you want for anything else, including the tapping options.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="7035" LastEditorUserId="7035" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-12-30T19:02:37.030" LastActivityDate="2010-12-30T19:02:37.030" CommentCount="2" />

I have a Samsung N210 and just installed Ubuntu. I'm new to Linux and I have some problems.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm using Linksys WRT110 Router. When I'm connected via ethernet cable everything's fine but when I unplug the cable and try to use wireless it's really problematic. The connection is unstable. I can use the internet for 5 minutes and then for a couple minutes it's gone and it comes back again and so on. But the thing is, it always shows that it's connected, but I can't connect to any websites. As I said, no problems with ethernet cable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I made some research, installed Samsung-tools (and then came here to ask) and Realtek 8192E wireless driver for the latest kernel for Samsung netbooks with no luck. Also I uninstalled Network Manager and installed wicd, that didn't work either.

Presumably, the provided file is source code which will then have to be compiled in order to be used. If your experience is anything like mine with ASUS, the provided code will be stale and will fail to compile.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The good news is that you might not have to deal with all that. The first step is to determine the device ID of the adapter. It appears to be a USB wireless adapter, so you will use the &lt;code&gt;lsusb&lt;/code&gt; command to get this information. For non-USB devices you will generally use &lt;code&gt;lspci&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you post the output of the command here, I will assist you in interpreting it. The information you want to extract from the output of the command is a hexadecimal number of the format &quot;nnnn:nnnn&quot; immediately following the string &quot;ID&quot; on the line that contains the vendor's name. Here's what my lsusb looks like:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Bus 002 Device 002: ID 045e:00dd Microsoft Corp. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Bus 001 Device 003: ID 046d:0807 Logitech, Inc. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once you have determined the device ID for the adapter, you can search for the appropriate kernel module for it. Googling the ID number along with &quot;linux&quot; or &quot;kernel&quot; sometimes works. There are also compatibility lists like this:&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;http://linux-wless.passys.nl/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://linux-wless.passys.nl/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You'll notice that there is no vendor listing for Rosewill on this list. Most likely that means the vendor uses another company's chipset- the other company's name will then be the one that shows up in lsusb's output.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once you have determined the correct driver for the device, simply do &#xA;&lt;code&gt;sudo modprobe [module-name]&lt;/code&gt; to load the module and see if it works. If you get a Module Not Found error, that probably means the module isn't installed. If this is the case, you will likely need to install the linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless package.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="2315" LastActivityDate="2010-12-26T22:26:54.653" />

Be sure to check the wiki (especially once a new version of Ubuntu is released) to ensure that this process is still valid.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First, you will want to re-enable 'Software Sources' in the System-&gt;Administration menu.

You can temporarily disable a repository by unchecking the box next to it. To remove a repository permanently, highlight it and click on the 'Remove' button. When you are done, hit the 'Close' button.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As Marcel Stimberg noted earlier:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;This will remove the PPA from the&#xA;  repository list but if the package is&#xA;  a newer version of one in the standard&#xA;  repos, you have to manually downgrade&#xA;  the package afterwards. ppa-purge (see&#xA;  other answer) does that for you.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Hopefully, this will help.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="469" LastActivityDate="2010-12-27T18:42:36.077" CommentCount="2" />

After I select &quot;Install Ubuntu&quot; or &quot;Try Ubuntu&quot;, the screen blacks out and never displays anything.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So I deleted &quot;quiet&quot; and &quot;splash&quot; off the command line to see what messages would come up.

First off 10.10 isn't cutting edge - it's a bonafide release. Cutting edge would be running the current Alpha which is 11.04. You can find out more with &lt;a href=&quot;http://askubuntu.com/questions/16366/whats-the-difference-between-a-long-term-support-release-and-a-normal-release&quot;&gt;What's the difference between a Long Term Support Release and a Normal Release?&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ubuntu does a really good job of keeping all it's &quot;supported&quot; releases up-to-date. 10.04 will simply be supported longer for security updates than 10.10 - However, for all intensive purposes 10.10 is the current release. 10.04 is the current LTS, and 11.04 is the current Alpha (soon beta, then sometime in April current). The way I look at releases. If I'm installing Ubuntu on a computer I always reach for current unless this is a server or a machine that needs to remain stable due to it's functionality. Normal desktop/laptop machines though - current. The upgrade process from Release to Release point has become very streamlined.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Personally, I run at least one machine with LTS only - I like to think of it as my fallback. I rarely do any hardware modifications to it and I always need it to &quot;just work&quot;. It also negates the task of needing to perform upgrades on it every 6 months.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, I don't think using 10.04 is going to address your video issue. In fact I think that's entirely independent of what version you're using and may merit a &lt;a href=&quot;http://askubuntu.com/questions/ask&quot;&gt;new question&lt;/a&gt; in order to address that concern.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="41" LastEditorUserId="41" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-12-29T15:03:33.563" LastActivityDate="2010-12-29T15:03:33.563" CommentCount="4" />

However, as you will see for yourself, picking the right file system can offer performance gains in excess of 95%.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Linux File Systems. Why so many?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are three main reasons why there are so many File Systems on Linux:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;* It's open source: effectively everyone owns it.&#xA;* File Systems competing for better performance and or scalability.&#xA;* File Systems allowing for compatibility/portability of existing data (migrations from other systems). &#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;File System Comparison&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The following list describes the Linux file system characteristics and indicates when this file system is best used. This list is not exhaustive of all the file systems available in the world, but focuses on those which have appreciable market share or attention in the market today. A detailed comparison of file system features can be found at: &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;EXT2&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;* Recommended to move to EXT3&#xA;* Not Journaled&#xA;* POSIX access control &#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;EXT2 file system is the predecessor to the EXT3 file system. EXT2 is not journaled, and hence is not recommended any longer (customers should move to EXT3).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Recommended Use: USB/Solid State Drives, or any cause where you need high stability with minimal reads/writes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;EXT3&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;* Most popular Linux file system, limited scalability in size and number of files&#xA;* Journaled&#xA;* POSIX extended access control &#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;EXT3 file system is a journaled file system that has the greatest use in Linux today. It is the &quot;Linux&quot; File system. It is quite robust and quick, although it does not scale well to large volumes nor a great number of files. Recently a scalability feature was added called htrees, which significantly improved EXT3's scalability. However it is still not as scalable as some of the other file systems listed even with htrees. It scales similar to NTFS with htrees. Without htrees, EXT3 does not handle more than about 5,000 files in a directory.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Recommended Use: If you have no specific reason for another filesystem, ext3 is an excellent default.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ext4&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The most recent in the ext filesystem line, ext4 includes many major improvements over ext3 like larger filesystem support, faster checking, nanosecond timestamps, and verification of the journal through checksums. It’s backward and forward compatible with versions 2 and 3, so you can mount a ext2 or ext3 filesystem as ext4, and the other way around. You may however lose some of the benefits of the newer versions when mounting as the older. Many of the modern Linux distributions now offer ext4 during the install, and some are using it as the default.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Recommended Use: Ext4 should be stable enough for desktop and server needs. If your distribution offers it as an install choice, it should be a good choice for nearly any usage needs.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;FAT32&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;* Most limited file system, but most ubiquitous&#xA;* Not Journaled&#xA;* No access controls &#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;FAT32 is the crudest of the file systems listed. It's popularity is with its widespread use and popularity in the Windows desktop world and that it has made its way into being the file system in flash RAM devices (digital cameras, USB memory sticks, etc.). It has no built in security access control, so is small and works well in these portable and embedded applications. It scales the least of the file systems listed. Most systems have FAT32 compatibility support due to its ubiquity. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;NTFS&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;* The Windows file system, best for workgroup shared LAN file serving&#xA;* Journaled&#xA;* Windows access controls (richer than POSIX) &#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The Microsoft Windows file system for the Windows NT kernel (Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003). The Linux OpenSource version of this filesystem is only capable of read-only of existing NTFS data. This allows for migration from Windows and access to Windows disks. NTFS includes an ACL model which is not POSIX. The NTFS ACL model is unique to Microsoft, but is a derivative of the Novell NetWare 2.x ACL model. NTFS is the default (and virtually only option) on Windows servers. It includes rich metadata and attribute features. NTFS also supports multiple data streams and ACL rights inheritance since its Windows 2000 implementation. In Windows 2003 R2, Microsoft included a feature called &quot;Access Based Enumeration&quot;. This is similar to visibility in NSS and NWFS, but is not implemented in the file system layer, but rather as a feature of the CIFS protocol engine in Windows 2003 R2, so this feature is only available when accessing Windows 2003 via the CIFS protocol. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;ReiserFS&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;* Best performance and scalability when number of files is great and/or files are small&#xA;* Journaled&#xA;* POSIX extended access controls &#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The Reiser File System is the default file system in SUSE Linux distributions. Reiser FS was designed to remove the scalability and performance limitations that exist in EXT2 and EXT3 file systems. It scales and performs extremely well on Linux, outscaling EXT3 with htrees. In addition, Reiser was designed to very efficiently use disk space. As a result, it is the best file system on Linux where there are a great number of small files in the file system. As collaboration (email) and many web serving applications have lots of small files, Reiser is best suited for these types of workloads. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Recommended Use: Interacting with small files on a single core system.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="3550" LastActivityDate="2010-12-29T16:25:21.840" />

It's also sometimes possible to &quot;fudge&quot; proxy support if the proxy server is using secondary authentication to minimise load on the main authentication servers (say perhaps Active Directory).  This is where the first proxy connection is authenticated by the proxy against AD, then for a set time period (usually 5 minutes) all other connections are &quot;trusted&quot; to be that user.  Therefore, you can open firefox, browse the internet (anywhere will do), then try your utility (wget, synaptic, whatever) by specifying a proxy, but leave the username blank.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ubuntu is generally hostile to any corporate environment simply because it allows passwords to be read so easily.  Seahorse is a prime culprit, but Network Manager is also shocking - connect to any PEAP authenticated network and you've just stored your password in the applet for anyone to see who might borrow your laptop.  Apparently laptop sharing is considered sacrilege in Linux land, since Seahorse developers rejected claims of insecurity.  After that, I didn't have the heart to contact the network-manager devs.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="861" LastActivityDate="2010-12-29T20:24:16.827" />

That way apache and php take care to correctly process the php file and send it to the browser so it can render it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Verify in your case that you have php/apache in the place where you are running the browser AND verify that the php file is in the web directory (normally in /var/www or /home/USER/www)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Start the browser with &lt;a href=&quot;http://localhost&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://localhost&lt;/a&gt; and browse THROUGH there to the php file.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;EDIT: Just read your edit.

Also, make sure you have the Windows recovery CD/DVD available, should anything bad happen. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If your computer can boot from USB, I would recommend first setting up a full Ubuntu on USB disk and boot your computer over USB, so you can test whether you can solve hardware issues, should you have any.

I also think that a shared NTFS partition would be wise, so that if Ubuntu causes problems, those wil be on this shared NTFS partition, not your Windows one. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for a third OS, I would suggest something like Fedora or Mandriva, s those are very well-known ones, but are using different system for package management and runlevels.

The swap space, as it names implies, is a location where the files are read/written all the time, when your computer is heavily loaded. The SSD-based disks should not be read/written all the time, as each &quot;cell&quot; or allocation unit is meant to be read/written so many times, after which they are no more reliable. You should invest in more RAM, even if it is overkill. Then, monitor your RAM usage over a heavily loaded session (lots of browser, videos, compiler, etc). For the file system, I would stick with what Ubuntu offers.

(as we do in traditional HDD) for now, no plan of dual booting. Only ubuntu will live on scarce space of 80GB SSD.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is really not a matter of SSD, but your personal choice. If you were to ask me I'll say no; don't partition the disk you will end in loosing useful space.&#xA;(If you end with a partition with 2GB free and another with 1GB free, you theoretically have 3Gb free but cannot copy a 3GB file... that space is wasted )&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. i have 2 GB RAM, should i still allocate swap space (if i dont allocate swap space, can i still hibernate the machine)? will swap space impact SSD life?&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;I wouldn't worry so much about the SSD life ( modern one can run for decades ), however 2GB of RAM are enough not to need the swap partition. &#xA;Finally the swap partition is needed in order to hibernation, so if you want to hibernate the machine then you need the swap partition.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. should i consider putting additional 1GB RAM to avoid swap space?&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;1GB more or ram is always useful :) do it if you can.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6. what is partition aligning? is it needed to be done before installing the Ubuntu OS or can be done later?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That is the procedure where you align clusters, blocks and chunks. IMHO it is only needed on servers with a lot of data throughput. A good tool to do partition alignment is GParted.

I tried Jonathon's tip about uninstalling the driver and removing the conf file, to see if it can reboot in the normal mode but it just came back into recovery mode. &lt;code&gt;/etc/X11/xorg.conf&lt;/code&gt; doesn't exist.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;I don't know the exact version of the Nvidia driver. The &quot;Hardware Drivers&quot; window just states &lt;code&gt;NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current) [Recommended]&lt;/code&gt;.

Would that be relevant in my case? &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update 2:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;As per Jorge's answer, I've now installed &lt;code&gt;nvidia-glx-185&lt;/code&gt; but afterward &lt;code&gt;nvidia-xconfig&lt;/code&gt; doesn't exist (&lt;code&gt;sudo: nvidia-xconfig: command not found&lt;/code&gt;). There is still no &lt;code&gt;/etc/X11/xorg.conf&lt;/code&gt; file. However, I rebooted anyway and the normal mode (not failsafe) works!

Mucommander is Java based and lacks integration with system (and it's Java based, did I mention that already).

For example you can create terminal tab from the current tabs location. There's an option for create file as well as create directory.

Locate your mouse in the list and note its ID, you'll need it for the main command for what you want.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you want to check if you got the right ID, run &lt;code&gt;xinput test &amp;lt;id&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;. If you move the mouse, click buttons, etc., you should see lots of info lines going up on your Terminal. It's listing everything you do with your mouse. If nothing happens, try another id from your pointers list that makes sense to you, you probably chose the wrong one at first (this really shouldn't be that hard).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When you finally found the correct id, run this command:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;xinput test &amp;lt;id&amp;gt;|sed -une '/release/ {      x&#xA;     /^$/ s/^.*$/1/&#xA;     G&#xA;     h&#xA;     s/^/      /&#xA;     s/^ *\(......\)\n/\1  /p&#xA;     x&#xA;     s/\n.*$//&#xA;     /^9*$/ s/^/0/&#xA;     s/.9*$/x&amp;amp;/&#xA;     h&#xA;     s/^.*x//&#xA;     y/0123456789/1234567890/&#xA;     x&#xA;     s/x.*$//&#xA;     G&#xA;     s/\n//&#xA;     h&#xA;}'&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Copy the above as it is and paste it. Before you hit ENTER, replace &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;lt;id&amp;gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; with that id you found. When you run it, you let it there while you proceed with using the system. Anytime you want to check how many clicks were registered, you just take a look at the terminal.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some important comments:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Unfortunately, I'm not so good at&#xA;console, shell, commands, etc. I'm&#xA;pretty sure someone can improve this&#xA;or provide a better solution. There's&#xA;an inconvenience with my solution:&#xA;you don't really have results at real&#xA;time. For some reason, there seems to&#xA;be buffering, and you have to&#xA;generate more mouse events to read&#xA;the older ones. So if you do a click&#xA;and it's not shown, move your mouse a&#xA;bit and soon the last click will&#xA;show. Sorry about this, but I've&#xA;tried some things, but don't know how&#xA;to solve that yet. Hope it's not that&#xA;bad for you.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;As you see, &lt;strong&gt;any&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;click is being counted. In case you&#xA;want to count the clicks for only one&#xA;of the buttons, replace 'release' for&#xA;'release 1', 'release 2', 'release&#xA;3', well, you got the idea. If you&#xA;want to count them all, but with&#xA;separate stats, run the command (with&#xA;the proper button indication) in a&#xA;separate terminal.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The approach I've used: &lt;code&gt;xinput list &amp;lt;id&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; does the dirty job, showing everything that happens with the mouse. Then I redirect this output to &lt;code&gt;sed&lt;/code&gt;, which will parse only lines with 'release' events. I guess it's okay to consider that a 'release' event ends the 'click process' (button down and then up). The sed script not only shows the lines with 'release', but also numbers them. This script was directly copied from &lt;code&gt;info sed&lt;/code&gt; (section 4.7), and surely could be improved.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="7521" LastActivityDate="2010-12-31T03:58:22.127" />

Maybe should we have a mix of autohide and autofadeaway in that panel.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Anyway, having all those vertically-stacked panels, toolbars and tabs isn't the most clever way to fully use our ever-wider screens (nope, I don't spend all my time watching 16:9 movies).

Aside from giving me a great opportunity to learn&#xA;#      more about bash (and sqlite, which I had previously barely touched).. not much ;)&#xA;#      Actually, it allows you to keep notes, grouped by window title.&#xA;#      The notes are kept in an sqlite database. &#xA;#      Each timestamped note-&quot;event&quot; is stored in a row of the main (only) table.&#xA;#      You can consolidate notes in a semi ad-hoc manner... &#xA;#      Notes are presented to you in a single editable text file (in Leafpad).  &#xA;#      You must keep at least one &quot;tinotes&quot; timestamp-line at the top of the text...&#xA;#      All lines above this topmost timestamp-line are ignored,&#xA;#      including the &quot;title&quot;, which is presented upon each viewing.&#xA;#      If you remove any/all other &quot;timestamp line(s)&quot;, those particular rows are &#xA;#      deleted from the sqlite table, and the text which remains is associated with&#xA;#      the immediately preceding timestamp-line (and updated as such in the sqlite table)&#xA;#         &#xA;# How do you drive it? .. Just associate `tinotes.sh` with a shortcut-key.. That's' it!&#xA;#      Just press the shortcut-key and you will be presented with Leafpad displaying &#xA;#      a  &quot;title line&quot; at the very top, and on line 2, is a &quot;tinotes timestamp&quot; line.  &#xA;#      Type your note below the  timestamp-line, then Save and Exit Leafpad,..&#xA;#      NB..

Meta, Super and Hyper are not Linux's way of dealing with any modifier keys, but merely three of them specific to the Space Cadet keyboard. There is also &lt;strong&gt;Menu&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Compose&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;AltGr&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Greek&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Front&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;X&lt;/strong&gt; and others.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, by convention the Windows logo key is called Super, and is not implemented as yet another modifier by X.org. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Furthermore, the definition of modifier keys depends on:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Keyboard itself&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Keyboard layout&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The driver&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The operating system's implementation&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's therefore almost impossible to generalise this information. I've tried to be somewhat specific to Gnome/X.org using a Windows-Style keyboard with one of the more popular layouts. To test your keyboard, you can run &lt;code&gt;xev&lt;/code&gt; - its terminal output will tell you what modifiers have been detected for your keyboard.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.de/imgres?imgurl=http://lh4.ggpht.com/adhamsomantrie/SDmq6eVZuyI/AAAAAAAABKY/lClbYl1e0DE/s288/apple-alum-modkeys.jpg&amp;amp;imgrefurl=http://adhamtech.net/2008/06/using-non-mac-keyboard-on-mac/&amp;amp;usg=__zU8sk6lgBHtitkqaJ9FmO5HfrM0=&amp;amp;h=104&amp;amp;w=271&amp;amp;sz=6&amp;amp;hl=de&amp;amp;start=53&amp;amp;sig2=G-nQB9xDk1bwxvW8k5uTfA&amp;amp;zoom=1&amp;amp;itbs=1&amp;amp;tbnid=fDbArvgiH5JaKM%3a&amp;amp;tbnh=43&amp;amp;tbnw=113&amp;amp;prev=/images%3Fq%3Dmac%2Bkeyboard%2Bmodifiers%26start%3D40%26hl%3Dde%26sa%3DN%26gbv%3D2%26ndsp%3D20%26tbs%3Disch:1&amp;amp;ei=PYcfTdOKIYys8QPY7aT-Bg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://lh4.ggpht.com/adhamsomantrie/SDmq6eVZuyI/AAAAAAAABKY/lClbYl1e0DE/s288/apple-alum-modkeys.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;The macintosh keyboard has a completely different set of modifiers yet again&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some additional information:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wikipedia claims the Windows key is sometimes called Meta, I didn't find any other reference for this&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Alt key is some times called &lt;strong&gt;Option&lt;/strong&gt;, as this is it's equivalent on Macintosh keyboards&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Compose&lt;/strong&gt; key (not a modifier, but a &lt;em&gt;dead key&lt;/em&gt;), also called &lt;strong&gt;Multi&lt;/strong&gt; is often mapped to the &lt;strong&gt;Menu&lt;/strong&gt; key or the right Windows key.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The AltGr key I've mentioned is also called a third level modifier. Each key on the keyboard has, potentially, four characters on it. The first level is the lowercase, then uppercase, then Alt+something, then alt+shift+something. For example, the four glyphs on my &lt;kbd&gt;A&lt;/kbd&gt; key are a, A, æ and Æ. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's all a mess :-)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As they've been addressed in the comments:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;kbd&gt;Fn&lt;/kbd&gt; is not &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; comparable. It's a hardware key that's not directly interfaceable by the operating Systems. Pressing &lt;kbd&gt;Fn&lt;/kbd&gt; and another key causes an entirely different code to be sent to the operating system. Examples for this include XF86AudioMute, XF86Eject and so on. The Operating system can't detect whether &lt;em&gt;fn&lt;/em&gt; is pressed or not.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The SysRq key is traditionally a label on the &lt;kbd&gt;Print Screen&lt;/kbd&gt; key indicating its function if used with the modifier &lt;kbd&gt;Alt&lt;/kbd&gt;. It sometimes, especially on newer notebooks, mapped to &lt;kbd&gt;Fn&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;Alt&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;Print&lt;/kbd&gt;.
