I just tried Software Center on my freshly installed Testing, but it does not work: when I click on Install it turns gray and nothing happens. How can I make this application functional?
View 14 RepliesHow can I implement this: I encrypt a partition using LUKS, and store personal data on this partition. Then create a user account that solely deals with this partition and insulated from the Internet. Normally for each boot I do not even need to mount the LUKS encrypted partition, and when I mount that partition under that special user account, I can make sure that the Internet is cut off.
I'm going to do the installation these days, could you provide a brief sketch regarding what steps I should go through to implement the above result?
I just did a clean install to wheezy on my desktop (figured it was safe enough) and I found out my preferred keyboard, the Logitech 'Wave' K350, does not work on the wheezy installer. I tested to see if the mouse would work (M510) and it didn't work either. It works (or at least it did a few months ago) fine on the Squeeze installer. why my K350 didn't work on the install. It's just your typical wireless keyboard & mouse combo.The K350 works fine after the install.

I have Ubuntu 9.10 set up on a 40 GIG HD. For upgrade purposes I would like to copy my /home directory to another directory. That way I can completely wipe my operating system without losing my programs. Can someone show me an easy way of doing this... ALSO once done, after I installed the, say, next upgraded operating system how would I tell it to look to the other hard drive for it's /home directory?

I started out as a JoliOS user - but I have petty much removed all the Joli features and am just using the bare Ubuntu system. Nonetheless, I can't get the Ubuntu Software Center to work. When I run in terminal I get the following message:
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've suddenly developed "no sound" at all- I use Logitech USB speakers and have been doing fine until this weekend when they simply won't play any longer. I searched and followed a bunch of different troubleshooting to no avail. I am running 9.10 with all the latest updates. I ran apt-get update and upgraded following this to be sure while doing this troubleshooting.
I went ahead and ran the also information script and the output is here: [URL]
The speaker lights are on so there is power getting there. I re-set the sound preferences to use the usb as output device and cranked the volume up all the way. This preference does not seem to stay between reboots or even when checking while troubleshooting this problem.
After working with the Install center for a couple of months with no problems I just woke up to find my Install and Remove buttons are not working. They don't give any errors, they just don't do anything when clicked

"xinput llist" already detects the touchpad as

The xorg log shows dual loading of touchpad driver

But still after completely removing the xorg log and restarting the X, the log reports as

"synclient -l" though shows a long list of already set values, the touchpad is not working properly. How can I prevent this dual loading of drivers ? Kindly enlighten me , so that I can have a properly working touchpad. If any more info is required, then please ask me. There is no xorg.conf. I tried to generate one by "Xorg :1 -configure", but the generated file did not have any section related to touchpad.

View 3 Replies View RelatedThere seems to be something that has changed in the newest stable Debian - I chose kde4 as my default desktop at installation, and it worked fine. Then I went and changed some options in both /var/run/kdm/kdmrc and /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc, something I have done many times before without problems.
However, when I tried to restart kdm with /etc/init.d/kdm, things didn't come up - no X, no kdm. When I rebooted the machine everything seemed fine, so I thought the problem was solved; but this morning I wanted to change something else - I don't want kdm to remember the last user, and I don't want to see a list of users either. Now dkm and X fail even when I reboot; I also find that /var/run/kdm/kdmrc has disappeared - I am certain I didn't remove it.
The strange thing, when I try /etc/init.d/kdm, I can kdm hanging around all alone in the process list, but no X or greeter. So what is going on - what should I have done instead? And can I repair it? I can of course reinstall the system, but I hate to think that we can't manage better in Linux.
I'd like to make all window of of all applications are located in the center of screen when they are started every single time, is there any way to do that ? of course,what i am saying that they are GUI apps, and when they are not started as maximum size window

I am trying to get Debian 6 to work on an hp Z400 - the problem is that it came with a NVIDIA Quadro NVS 295 graphics card; there may be a driver for Linux, but it doesn't matter, because GRUB insists on switching to some sort of graphics mode and the screen just blanks and switches itself off. Is there any way to make sure during installation that GRUB gets configured to stay in character mode only?
