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.

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. And of course many people throughout the world use the actual decimal prefixes in their daily lives under the metric system.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Network engineers and long-time computer users of course are trained to understand the difference, but the &lt;a href=&quot;http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/21184/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;ongoing confusion&lt;/a&gt; meant applications were inconsistent in their usage; one application might use MB to mean 1,000,000 bytes (using the decimal prefix), while another might mean 1,048,576 bytes (using the binary interpretation).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This led to Ubuntu eventually adopting a &lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;units policy&lt;/a&gt; which is being implemented in the next version.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Impact&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The impact is really just a display issue. 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. However I at least often see different sizes displayed anyway due to rounding methods, so I'm not convinced it's a major issue.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="115" LastActivityDate="2010-07-30T02:41:33.127" CommentCount="5" />

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.

It's not much more trouble than installing otherwise (manually tracking outside-the-language dependencies) and would help with identification of &quot;orphan packages&quot; and the like (plus, if you publish your packaging, you can also help other people;-).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="263" LastActivityDate="2010-07-30T14:56:06.213" />

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.

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="5" 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. You simply need to log back in via SSH then &lt;code&gt;screen -ls&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;screen -x&lt;/code&gt; back into your session.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="41" LastEditorUserId="41" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-08-06T00:05:49.400" LastActivityDate="2010-08-06T00:05:49.400" CommentCount="1" />

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. Chef Ubuntu goes to the Debian farmer's market periodically, finds the best fresh ingredients, mixes them with his own special blend, and produces food for his intended audience.

I was thinking something like &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growl_%28software%29&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Growl&lt;/a&gt;, though this doesn't seem to exist for Linux.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ideally I'd just be able to do some kind of broadcast to the whole network, eg, from the FreePBX system I could run a command like:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;notify --broadcast  --title &quot;Incoming Call&quot;  &quot;Smith J\n613-555-1234&quot;&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And then on any mythtv frontend, it would appear somewhere on screen. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note: there is a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Setting_up_MythNotify&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;MythNotify&lt;/a&gt; plugin, which I have used in a previous iteration of my setup, but it has a severe limitation (I believe based on the way MythTV's OSD stuff works) that it can only display notifications during video playback: not while in menus. I also remember it being a pain to get displaying properly: it uses XML for messaging then XSLT to change to mythtv's XML format. If you want to display something slightly differently, you have to make a small handful of new XML files and even then getting the &quot;callerid-from-phonebook.xml&quot; message to actually render to the (remote) &quot;callerid-from-phonebook-osd.xml&quot; file for display is some kind of black art. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="818" LastEditorUserId="4" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-08-06T10:49:13.340" LastActivityDate="2010-08-06T14:38:40.377" Title="Send OSD notification messages to all systems on a network" Tags="&lt;mythtv&gt;&lt;mythbuntu&gt;" AnswerCount="1" CommentCount="1" FavoriteCount="1" />

From the few developments that I followed, Ubuntu's Server Edition tries to provide configuration tools that are easier to use than editing configuration in text files.

If your system has 4gig or more of RAM memory, and you use apps that need lots of RAM, that can be a reason for using 64bit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="913" LastActivityDate="2010-08-07T00:33:00.780" CommentCount="3" />

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" />

First you copy your old config to &lt;code&gt;/usr/src/linux-2.6&lt;/code&gt; (or the place where your kernel sources are) and then you execute this command. It will disable all module which are not loaded.

Since I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 and the version of &lt;code&gt;emacs-snapshot&lt;/code&gt; there I encounter some problems. Sometimes Emacs hogs all RAM plus the same amount of swap space (2+2GB) and also eats all CPU time. When I send the process a SIGTERM the process stops to eat CPU time, but the huge allocated amount of memory stays. Emacs itself doesn't take any key sequences. So usually I send the process a SIGKILL and it dies.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now I want to find out where the bug (if there is one) is located and want to do some debugging. I can see no special reason for this behavior. Sometimes it starts after Emacs is freshly started, sometimes I can work a whole day without problems, sometimes it happens in between. So I'm looking for a kind of debugging or monitoring the process. I tried &lt;code&gt;strace&lt;/code&gt;, but this generates too much output. Strace output of a editing session should easily fill my whole harddrive. Running Emacs inside gdb should also not work, because if I remember correctly Ubuntu builds the software without debugging symbols. So do you have any advice how I can find the (possible) bug?

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.

LVDS, DVI, VGA, TV-out) but only two &quot;pipes&quot; at one time.  Sometimes it chooses the wrong output to send data to.

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.

Thus I can't do much for the vast majority of bugs, which will always be on &quot;some other card&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unlike most packages, I can't trivially create a test environment for a new driver version; virtual machines have their own X drivers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I can't easily update to the latest driver, test it out, then revert. 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.

This is a known problem and there's a bug report for this: &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/540801&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Bug #540801&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Comment #2 on this bug report describes a workaround for this which worked for me:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The problem here is the graphics drivers; on your system they're taking longer to load than it takes to check and mount the filesystem - so there's no reason to start the splash screen, since we can already start X.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;On HDD-based systems this is worse because we do the ureadahead phase before loading drivers; thus it can take a long time for a splash to appear.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;One &quot;solution&quot; is to use the initramfs and start plymouth as a critical step:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;echo FRAMEBUFFER=y &amp;gt; /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;update-initramfs -u&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;But that introduces a significant delay into boot just to get the splash screen up for the rest of it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you run the above two commands from the command-line (as root) and restart your system, you should have your nice Plymouth boot screen back. 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).

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.

I also download source tarballs to read the source code for a program so I can see what's going on if I run into a problem.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1016" LastActivityDate="2010-08-11T19:45:26.633" />

Then press 'E' to edit the boot options.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Scroll to the line that starts with &quot;kernel&quot; and move the cursor to the end of the line.  At the end of that line, add a space and &quot;rootdelay=60&quot;.  This will tell the kernel to wait up to 60 seconds for your drive to become ready.  Then press Control-X to boot.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If all goes well, your system will boot.  If this is the case, you can make the changes permanent by adding them to the default boot options.  To do this, open a terminal (Applications - Accessories - Terminal) and type:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;sudo gedit /etc/default/grub&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Find the line that looks like:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=&quot;&quot;&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;and change it to&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=&quot;rootdelay=60&quot;&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally, run&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;sudo update-grub&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;to make sure your changes are properly picked up.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For more information about the options available in the bootloader, you can see &lt;a href=&quot;https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2&lt;/a&gt; .

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" />

Click on the application you wish to remove and click on the Remove-button.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Synaptic&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another way to remove software is by using Synaptic. Click on System -&gt; Administration -&gt; Synaptic. A new window open and you can enter some search term into the box. So you will narrow down the list of software. 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. Synaptic will show you a window with the changes it wants to make and if you apply the software will be removed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Aptitude&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Aptitude is a text-mode software. You will need to open a terminal and enter &lt;code&gt;sudo aptitude&lt;/code&gt;. Aptitude shows you a textual interface. You can search for your software by typing a slash (&lt;code&gt;/&lt;/code&gt;) and entering some part of the name. If the software doesn't show the software in the first place (some packages have similar names) click &lt;code&gt;n&lt;/code&gt;. If you find the package you want to remove enter &lt;code&gt;-&lt;/code&gt;. After you found all your software enter &lt;code&gt;g&lt;/code&gt;.

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.

The previous few releases had &lt;code&gt;relatime&lt;/code&gt; explicitly in &lt;code&gt;/etc/fstab&lt;/code&gt;. &lt;code&gt;relatime&lt;/code&gt; gives the same speed (and flash write cycle conservation) benefits as &lt;code&gt;noatime&lt;/code&gt;, without causing trouble to old-fashioned mail notifiers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The article you cite recommends &lt;code&gt;data=writeback&lt;/code&gt;. Ubuntu defaults to &lt;code&gt;data=ordered&lt;/code&gt;. Ubuntu's setting is slower in case of heavy disk load, but carries significantly less risk of data loss in case of a crash or power failure. So I would not recommend changing from the Ubuntu default.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Changing &lt;code&gt;commit=5&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code&gt;commit=100&lt;/code&gt; increases the time window during which data will be lost in case of a crash, for little benefit in most circumstances.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Summary: leave the settings as they are, they were chosen for a reason.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ADDED:&lt;/strong&gt; There are other things beyond mount options than can make a difference.

(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. With it spelled correctly, KMS is disabled, and the driver survives whatever content was triggering the crash.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, there are a number of bug pages at launchpad and other community sites that have the wrong spelling of the option name.

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.

Yes, most clients will allow a local-side scale, but this option means that less data is sent by the server in the first place, which may be useful for slower, or internet-based connections.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;-nolookup means that the server won't try to lookup the client. No long pauses on connect.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;-timeout just specifies how long the server will wait for a client to connect before sleeping again.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The advantage to this method is that there's a host of other options available if you care to take a look (man x11vnc).  Very flexible, but sadly no pretty GUI available.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;p.s. If you haven't yet tried Reminna as an alternative to Vinagre, I'd suggest you give it a go.

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" />

If you have a mount point to a “flaky” filesystem, or a symbolic link to a mount point to a flaky filesystem, in your home directory, then most methods of listing your home directory could hang (including &lt;code&gt;ls -l&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;ls -F&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;ls --color&lt;/code&gt;, but not plain &lt;code&gt;/bin/ls&lt;/code&gt;) waiting for that flaky filesystem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Possible examples of flaky filesystems:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;An NFS/Samba mount where the server is not responding.

For a fuse filesystem that's waiting on a process that isn't responding, try umounting with &lt;code&gt;fusermount -u&lt;/code&gt; (or &lt;code&gt;fusermount -uz&lt;/code&gt; if there are open files), and killing the non-responding process.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Tip: don't mount this kind of filesystems under a directory you traverse often, such as your home directory. Have a dedicated parent directory for such mount points, e.g., &lt;code&gt;~/mnt&lt;/code&gt;.

Milestones will probably be your version numbers eg. 0.1, 0.2.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When you click 'Release now' to release a milestone, you will be able to upload files for download that correspond to that release.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The main points to this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Branches are completely separate lines of development.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Series are parallel sets of releases.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Milestones are future releases and work in a linear fashion within one series.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Releases are past milestones that can have downloads associated with them.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;(sorry for the circular definition here but thats how it works).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="667" LastActivityDate="2010-08-21T23:46:32.170" />

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" />

So yes, you can ignore it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;'Preserving symlinks', in my understanding, means that when you move a symlink file and it points to a relative path, the relative path will be adjusted so that it still points to the same file.

I also think the the reasons are often individual.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One of the issues at this time, is the change in the whole MOTU system. I believe, the changes can be confusing, and have been implemented more on technological lines and unfortunately did not bring the community fully on board (maybe just because it is confusing).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I also think, in some cases the motivation to be a MOTU is not as clear as it could be. 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.

Once installed, they won't have a keyboard or mouse connected but will have a fixed IP on the local network. 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[?]&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 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.

If you find files that are not in the debian/ directory in this list, then your problem is most certainly there. In this case, check what has been changed:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;In most cases, it is an autotools mess when &lt;code&gt;debuild -S&lt;/code&gt; was called: one of the autoconf/automake scripts was modified and this modification won't apply anymore. It is usually safe to drop this change in the new version ;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;In some other cases, the source code has been patched manually (without using dpatch/simple-patchsys/quilt/whatever else). In this case, check if the patch should still be applied to the new version (read the changelog for example). If it does, then make a clean patch using a proper patch manager.

The latest nvidia drivers should work but there's an EDID detection issue (how the video card finds out the monitors supported modes). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9234321&amp;amp;postcount=7&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;This post&lt;/a&gt; should provide a fix and there's a handy link at the bottom for ironing out any other quirks:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;What I found was that Lucid's kernel&#xA;  (I believe all &gt;= 2.6.32 kernels) has&#xA;  built-in driver for nvidia, called&#xA;  &quot;nouveau&quot;. This one is built right&#xA;  into initrd image and is the one that&#xA;  causes the workspace to be bigger than&#xA;  the actual screen.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Naturally I though of installing&#xA;  invidia drivers instead of nouveau,&#xA;  but that wasn't easy. 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. I did it&#xA;  by putting the following parameter to&#xA;  /etc/default/grub:&#xA;  &lt;code&gt;GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=&quot;nouveau.modeset=0&quot;&lt;/code&gt;.&#xA;  Then I had to invoke &lt;code&gt;sudo&#xA;  update-grub&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Having added this parameter, I&#xA;  rebooted and got 800x600 resolution,&#xA;  bacause now there was no driver in&#xA;  kernel to support the 330M GPU (but&#xA;  naughty nouveau was finally gone!).&#xA;  Switching to command-line mode by&#xA;  &lt;code&gt;sudo service gdm stop&lt;/code&gt; and by&#xA;  installing nvidia latest drivers&#xA;  (195.36.24) I almost got it done, but,&#xA;  not yet. Original nvidia driver&#xA;  loaded, but failed to correctly draw&#xA;  anything on the screen.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;After searching a bit I found on the&#xA;  page linked in the bottom of this post&#xA;  that Sony Vaio F's LCD panel EDID&#xA;  isn't recognized by nvidia drivers&#xA;  automatically, so you have to &quot;help&quot;&#xA;  drivers in this matter: after&#xA;  finishing installing nvidia drivers&#xA;  (and before the reboot) you have to&#xA;  add the following lines to &quot;Device&quot;&#xA;  section of xorg.conf:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Code:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;Option         &quot;ConnectedMonitor&quot; &quot;DFP-0&quot;&#xA;Option         &quot;CustomEDID&quot; &quot;DFP-0: /proc/acpi/video/NGFX/LCD/EDID&quot;&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;and only then reboot.

Ubuntu doesn't use the very latest nvidia driver because they need to test them. This can mean that if your hardware is very new, the used driver wont work.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To find this out, find out what version Ubuntu ships in Synaptic (The &lt;code&gt;nvidia-glx-185&lt;/code&gt; package ships nvidia version &lt;code&gt;195.36.24&lt;/code&gt;) and compare that with the relevant page on nvidia.com. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/linux-display-amd64-195.36.24-uk.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Here is the information on 195.36.24&lt;/a&gt;. Look under supported products and you'll see what hardware it supports. If yours is in there, awesome. If it's not then we have a problem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In cases like this you have to go straight to the source and download the latest nvidia driver &lt;em&gt;from&lt;/em&gt; nvidia. I personally get mine from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=14&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the Linux Forum on NvNews&lt;/a&gt; (nvidia's forum).

Unless you want to get involved in some serious scripting trickery, the manually installed one wont. So after kernel updates you'll likely be dumped at a low-resolution screen with a prompt on what to do next. Click exit to prompt (or the one that sounds like that) and do what you did starting from point 2.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note on that Note:&lt;/strong&gt; I recommend you never use the low graphics mode as it can disturb your desktop settings.

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="4" />

Simply right click on your network manager and choose &quot;Edit Connections&quot;.

Creating a new entry gives you some flexibility to choose however.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note that this uses a bit of NAT (network address translation) magic to work properly, so the Xbox360 (or whatever you plug into your wired port) will get a funky IP address.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;From memory, it will only be able to see the internet too - I don't think you can see the host computer, the one with the internet connection.

Also, all games suffered from the same problem. Whenever the user opened the system menu in any game, that menu remained drawn forever on the window.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I didn't like that at all, so I decided to only keep the puzzles that were missing form the original collection and reinstall the rest from Ubuntu software center. I though I would at least have most of the games behaving correctly. Therefore, I used &lt;code&gt;alacarte&lt;/code&gt; again to delete the &quot;common&quot; shortcuts. After the installation though, I wasn't getting any of the shortcuts on the gnome menu (other user accounts had them correctly), so I decided to delete alacarte's configuration files found inside &lt;code&gt;~/.config/?&lt;/code&gt; (I'm not in front of an Ubuntu-running computer at the moment, so I can't tell for sure).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now my user account profile is broken.

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. Here are a few of the key ingredients:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;exclusion_path = &quot;/home/.../exclusions.txt&quot; # don't back up trash etc&#xA;media_path = &quot;/media/... # a long path with the HDD details and the &quot;current&quot; folder&#xA;rsync -avv --progress --delete --exclude-from=exclusion_path /home/username/ media_path&#xA;current = &quot;...&quot; # the &quot;current&quot; folder on the HDD&#xA;dest = &quot;...&quot; # the timestamped folder on the HDD&#xA;cp -alv current dest&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I had some custom needs as well.

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.

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.

The nice bit about running one, however, is it doesn't get in your way if you never use it.  This is what I do, and I rarely find it useful; but it won't (or shouldn't, at least) noticeably affect performance on 10 year old or newer desktop systems.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Perhaps I almost always don't need it because I do the majority of my text editing in [g]vim, which already has a similar feature through registers (&lt;em&gt;:help registers&lt;/em&gt; if you're curious).  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;" OwnerUserId="1273" LastActivityDate="2010-09-02T04:48:00.127" />

Everything was fine until I had installed the bunch of automatic updates (including a new kernel), which were discovered after Wifi was finally working.

Yesterday I got a new kernel through automatic updates. And guess what?

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.

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.

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.

All of the partitions I have created in the past have worked fine. This new install, however, has a problem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I formated a month or so back to allow more space. 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. There will be some text over the logo as if it is a terminal outputting information from the system about closing programs, killing the system, and so on. 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. In fact, when I installed Kubuntu Desktop Environment a few weeks back (This was after the problem, so it's not KDE), I shut down my computer and went to bed without confirming it had shut down.

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" />

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.

(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...

It does so by modifying the boot.ini in the vista partition.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If, for example, Vista is installed in C drive, you would find C:\boot.ini which is a text file specifying the boot options.

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.

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.

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.

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.  A target specification&#xA;  is contained within brackets and consists of a target type name, a colon,&#xA;  and the target id.  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. You can read more about ports here:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/openssh-server.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/openssh-server.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Additionally, you can login over SSH via a key. 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.

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.

You can verify that the settings do what you want by opening a terminal &lt;code&gt;ctrl-alt-f1&lt;/code&gt;, logging in and running &lt;code&gt;setupcon&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To make the changes happen automatically with each reboot, edit the file /etc/rc.local to add the line &lt;code&gt;setupcon&lt;/code&gt; above the &lt;code&gt;exit 0&lt;/code&gt; line. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Both files, /etc/default/console-setup and /etc/rc.local require root privileges to edit.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1243" LastEditorUserId="1243" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-09-22T17:20:13.020" LastActivityDate="2010-09-22T17:20:13.020" CommentCount="4" />

Applications typically store their configuration and automatically saved data in a file or directory called &lt;code&gt;.application-name&lt;/code&gt; in your home directory.

Whether you want to encrypt these places depends on how sensitive you think that data is.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anything (well, almost) that can be in RAM can also be in swap. It takes a bit of work and a bit of luck, but someone who steals your disk could find some worthwhile data in the swap.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many applications store temporary files in &lt;code&gt;/tmp&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If receive mail locally (as opposed to fetching it from a POP or IMAP server), it arrives in &lt;code&gt;/var/mail&lt;/code&gt;.

To view the history log file, choose History from the File menu. You can search for &lt;code&gt;Install&lt;/code&gt; (mind the case) to list all entries regarding installation. However, this will only show the packages installed &lt;strong&gt;using Synaptic&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Run the following command in a terminal. This will search dpkg logs for installation history entries.

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.

In any case, how to get at the information depends on the rendering engine.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Most programs render through the fontconfig library. If you start a fontconfig-using program with the &lt;code&gt;FC_DEBUG&lt;/code&gt; environment variable set to a suitable value, it will show some information about fonts being loaded, though not what font is being used for rendering which text.

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. Less experienced users might find this easier to use than setting up cron jobs.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are PPAs for hdparm and disktrim and all can be run on Lucid (and further back) without need for 2.6.33+ kernels.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="449" LastActivityDate="2010-09-22T15:29:14.927" CommentCount="1" />

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. If you're using EXT4 you're fine, if you're using EXT3 you'll need to ensure your filesystem is mounted with the &lt;code&gt;user_xattr&lt;/code&gt; attribute.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here's how I set it  up on the client machine, you don't need to do anything on the server side.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;First, install the user space daemon:&#xA;&lt;code&gt;sudo apt-get install cachefilesd&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then turn it on by editing &lt;code&gt;/etc/default/cachefilesd&lt;/code&gt; and changing the run line to &lt;code&gt;RUN=yes&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ensure your NFS mount in &lt;code&gt;/etc/fstab&lt;/code&gt; has an &lt;code&gt;fsc&lt;/code&gt; option. Don't forget to remount it after you've made the changes.

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.

I remember hearing complaints about Gwibber when 10.04 came out, but not so much since then- perhaps the issue has been resolved with an update.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you go ahead and install 10.04 and notice a drop in performance relative to 6.10, I recommend firing up System Monitor and seeing if you can find an application hogging up resources. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="2315" LastActivityDate="2010-09-24T21:42:11.320" CommentCount="1" />

Ubuntu makes some effort to streamline common tasks, giving an advantage to newer releases.

A newer release is likely to come with a default configuration tuned for a faster machine (especially in terms of display effects), but you can change the configuration.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Looking at your specs, you have a relatively slow CPU, but a more than adequate amount of RAM, so it's worth a try.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another factor which is strongly in favor of 10.04+ is the ext4 filesystem, which is a lot faster than ext3.

Ubuntu is in the middle of the river.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Upstream&lt;/em&gt; would be the software that Ubuntu packages and ships to users. Things like GNOME, Firefox, X.org, the Linux kernel, and many more applications. This is the bulk of the things that are in the archive, as they represent a collection of upstream projects. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ubuntu has one special upstream, Debian, which Ubuntu derives from. So, they are Ubuntu's upstream for many packages, though for some packages, like the kernel, Ubuntu packages directly from the upstream project, though for the majority of packages Debian is the upstream to Ubuntu, and the project that is packaged is upstream to Debian.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Downstreams&lt;/em&gt; of Ubuntu would be Ubuntu derived distributions, like Linux Mint.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Examples of usage of this term depends on the context. So for example if you have a bug with Firefox that Ubuntu didn't introduce then you might hear the term &quot;Make sure you're reporting that bug upstream&quot;.

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;).

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" />

If so, use it for normal web browsing, but not to access blocked sites.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Otherwise, it's possible, but not very easy. 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. On the other hand, your routing requirement is based on a host name, but the layer that knows about the names has no control over routing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think any solution will involve a web proxy. (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.

I was able to connect to the DSL router and surf the web.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I then ran the upgrade process to 10.04 in the Package/Update Manager. After the upgrade, the wireless card ceased to work.

So, I read that I should set it to a static IP.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I set it to a static IP address and then it connected properly to the wireless router. The DSL router's network page also showed the connection. But then when I tried to surf the web, it wouldn't work.

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.

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="1" />

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.

KeyTouch will do it (in a more user-friendly way than &lt;code&gt;setkeycodes&lt;/code&gt;), and will also handle the higher-level aspects such as configuring the eject key to eject the CD.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;kbd&gt;Right&lt;/kbd&gt; key not working is a bit worrying however. Does it trigger kernel messages? It should have worked out of the box, since it's a standard key.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Other relevant Ubuntu wiki pages are &lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Hotkeys/Troubleshooting&lt;/a&gt; (but try KeyTouch first) and &lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Architecture&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Hotkeys/Architecture&lt;/a&gt; (explaining this is not as simple a it should be under the hood).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1059" LastActivityDate="2010-10-05T18:16:59.637" CommentCount="1" />

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" />

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.

If you are trying to chain build a string of dependencies you can make you pbuilder results directory as your local repo directory.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can probably imagine other variations on this.

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.

Do not use Windows installer to format the partition, because several times I had a situation, when the Windows installer corrupted the partition table after that and I had to restore the lost partition.&#xA;So, as the people recommended here: using gparted, create separate partition, format it to the ntfs, install windows there, then restore grub using livecd or liveflash.

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. An Ubuntu specific way&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You just have to add the Mozilla Daily PPA to your list of sources.

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://firefox-tutorials.blogspot.com/2010/05/profiles.html&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://foxtester-extension.blogspot.com/&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 [&lt;a href=&quot;http://foxtester-extension.blogspot.com/p/features.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;see video demo&lt;/a&gt;]. 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://firefox-tutorials.blogspot.com/2010/05/installing-other-versions.html&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;http://askubuntu.com/questions/4983/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://firefox-tutorials.blogspot.com/2010/05/backups.html&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://firefox-tutorials.blogspot.com/2010/05/extensions-optimization.html&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://firefox-tutorials.blogspot.com/2010/05/database-optimization.html&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://firefox-tutorials.blogspot.com/2010/05/preferences-tweaks.html&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.&#xA;I'm publishing a &lt;a href=&quot;http://lovinglinuxblog.blogspot.com/search/label/customization&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;series of articles about customization experiments&lt;/a&gt; with Firefox 4.

It's not without it's peccadilloes, however.  My main concern, for the purposes of my question, is that there are a couple of applications that I have installed which do not appear in the Application list accessed on the Unity Launcher.  Is there a way to force Unity to acknowledge these skipped over programs?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One of the programs I am having trouble with is Ryzom, a online role playing game.  It's a game that doesn't require a traditional install like most programs.  You simply extract to a folder in your Home directory and run the client program.  Perhaps Unity doesn't recognize programs that aren't &quot;installed&quot;.  Can I add Ryzom to the Applications list so I can start it without resorting to Terminal?  I've tried using the Main Menu function in System, but apparently that has no bearing on what applications show up in Unity.  That would explain why all the program I had hidden in Main Menu are showing up in Unity.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thanks for any insight you can give.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="2133" LastActivityDate="2010-10-13T05:33:12.320" Title="How can I get Unity to recognize installed applications it doesn't list?"

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.

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.

What browser are you using? This can make a huge difference as Firefox can have multiple addons that provide Flash support. You can use Adobe's proprietary implementation, or you can use a non-proprietary implementation. I've always had better success with Adobe's versions (but that's just me). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://chrome.google.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Google Chrome&lt;/a&gt; on the other hand comes with Flash support.

Increasing &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random-access_memory&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;RAM&lt;/a&gt; is also one of the cheapest upgrades you can do.

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!

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;.

By&#xA;  convention, users create a menu file&#xA;  in ~/.fluxbox/menu . Once you've&#xA;  created your own menu file, you'll&#xA;  want to make sure that you properly&#xA;  declare this location in your `init'&#xA;  file so that fluxbox knows where to&#xA;  look.

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 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" />

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" />

If you don't need it you should disable &quot;Kernel debugging (DEBUG_KERNEL)&quot; under &quot;Kernel hacking&quot; since that will make the compilation less long.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To compile, you type :&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=3 sudo make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-something kernel-image kernel-headers&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Replace &quot;CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=3&quot; by the number of core your processor have +1 that will make the compilation much faster.

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.

You must explicitly mount the filesystem.&#xA;* dev/nodev - Interpret/Do not interpret character or block special devices on the file system.&#xA;* exec / noexec - Permit/Prevent the execution of binaries from the filesystem.&#xA;* suid/nosuid - Permit/Block the operation of suid, and sgid bits.&#xA;* ro - Mount read-only.&#xA;* rw - Mount read-write.&#xA;* user - Permit any user to mount the filesystem. 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" />

I'm not sure how the Ubuntu packages handle multiple versions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The only pain with using RVM is that you need to install all of the dependencies yourself, or you'll run into errors compiling Ruby and installing gems.

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" />

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" />

After you unmount the disk, you can reboot into a live cd with the btrfs utils and mkbtrfs /dev/sda ( or whatever dev your disk is on ).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This &lt;em&gt;should&lt;/em&gt; preserve grub if you have installed it to the MBR. Then you can plug in your external media and copy back the files. Making sure to change /etc/fstab from ext4 to btrfs. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You could also do the same thing by splitting your drive in two as you mentioned. However if you wish to format your second partition as btrfs before copying, and use it as the root file system, you will also need to change your GRUB configuration to look at the new partition. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="3110" LastActivityDate="2010-10-17T23:24:50.070" />

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" />

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.

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" />

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.

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.

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

This also means that there is 758m of memory that can be reclaimed in an instant if necessary because the system knows it can find that data on the disk instead.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That is why there is a second line showing that if there were no buffering and cache, I'd have half my RAM (1154m) available for use.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The third line shows that I have an overly large swap partition (it was there and wasn't doing anything) of which a whopping 3m have been used.

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 gdm&lt;/code&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1012" LastEditorUserId="1012" LastEditorDisplayName="" LastEditDate="2010-10-26T04:32:01.447" LastActivityDate="2010-10-26T04:32:01.447" 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. Setting up an automated entire system replication voids this procedure: if you upgrade one system, the other gets upgraded too: you likely cannot do that while the service is running, and you loose the &quot;disaster-recovery&quot; feature.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That said, it &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; possible to replicate exactly the parts of the system you need to have a &quot;hot spare&quot; for the production systems, ready to kick in in case the primary server goes down.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The exact details of how you do this depend on the service you want to run (www? mysql? nfs?), but the general idea is: &lt;strong&gt;replicate configuration and mutable data&lt;/strong&gt;.  For example, assuming you want to have an highly-available NFS server, you can proceed like the following (on &lt;em&gt;both&lt;/em&gt; servers):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Set up a replicated DRBD disk and mount it on &lt;code&gt;/nfs&lt;/code&gt; on both servers (primary and backup).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Create directories &lt;code&gt;/nfs/etc&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;/nfs/data&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Symlink &lt;code&gt;/etc/export&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code&gt;/nfs/etc/export&lt;/code&gt; and make it export the &lt;code&gt;/nfs/data&lt;/code&gt; filesystem to clients.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Have the NFS service managed by &lt;a href=&quot;http://manpages.ubuntu.com/8/heartbeat&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;heartbeat&lt;/a&gt;, instead of by the system init/upstart daemon, so that it goes up and down according to the server role (primary or backup) and the availability of the DRBD disk.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is rather sketchy, but should be enough to get you started.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="325" LastActivityDate="2010-10-25T08:44:27.257" CommentCount="4" />

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.

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.

I personally don't like Feedly, but it is a really modern way of reading feeds.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I prefer the reader to be embedded in the browser as an extension (Firefox) or as a built-in feature (Opera).

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).

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.

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.

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;.

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. But now I realized - rather by accident -, that rebuilding those kernel modules even worked without rebooting the system. VMWare is even able to startup again after that. That made me curious. I entered &lt;code&gt;uname -r&lt;/code&gt; to see the kernel version, which showed me exactly the version I installed right before &lt;strong&gt;without&lt;/strong&gt; rebooting the system. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/en/man1/uname.1.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Manpages&lt;/a&gt; for uname are not exactly detailed on what is actually printed, but so far I thought it printed the actually running kernel version.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My question now is: Is it really possible the kernel reloads itself without rebooting?

Since it was a server that served a research group, I gave all of my coworkers an ssh account. 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.

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).

Setting up systems that come without an OS or having Ubuntu or any other Linux preinstalled is not for free from the manufacturer's view.

This adds to the poor acceptance of Linux-only systems by the users.

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;" />

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" />
