In Windows you can connect your PC to outlet via UPS and configure driver in the way it will power off the computer correctly or push it to hybernation when the UPS battery for example 10% or so. Can GNU/Linux work like this with APC UPSes? So I can leave my PC with some important data in RAM and be sure that in case of electricity problems I will find it in correct hybernation? Does GNU/Linux support this?
View 1 RepliesIs there a way with apcupsd to get current ups status? Like battery percentage left, that kind of thing? I've been struggling trying to get it to work with an old UPS, and after it just made the UPS shut off (causing the server to go down) I decided to just try with my UPS upstairs instead (just wired the management through my patch panel for now). I got it going to the point where it detects a power outage, but is there not a way I can query the status to get more info?
I have it setup to eventually shut down but it would be nice to get status such as how long I have before it does so, and so on. There's a GUI utility that I downloaded but it just says connection refused.
so i cannot install anything because update-info-dir file is missing from /var/lib/dpkg/info/ .. I've searched for the last day and a half for a way to fix this, but nothing. can't even update dpkg because of this. so how do I bypass or fix this so I can install stuff (this is a fresh install of ubuntu 10.04 lts Lucid Lynx).

I've installed quantum GIS on opensuse 11.3 gnome, so far so good. I run the app and it opens fine. To get the app to use data on the HD you get a dialogue box with a browse button. It should just be a case of clicking browse and selecting the required data file. Unfortunately when I click on browse the app crashes. I've no idea how to get info about the crash in an attempt to solve the problem. Had a similar problem with gimp in suse 11 kde could only fix it by updating the os to 11.3.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI was using Opensuse on Virtualbox earlier today. I issued the tail -f /var/log/messages command on Opensuse 11.3 to see the messages. Then I logged in from my Mac into Opensuse 11.3. I noticed that Opensuse was displaying realtime messages of the things happening. For eg, I entered a wrong su password and it displayed that too. But no such things were happening on my Fedora 13 installation. So is there any way if I could get some realtime messages on Fedora 13 too like the one on Opensuse..?

All of a sudden, Firefox no longer remembers login information. For example, I log into Facebook and tell it to remember me. Then I close Firefox and come back a few hours later and I get prompted to log in again. It's not just Facebook. It happens with this forum, My Yahoo, and others. In Firefox preferences, I have Remember History and Remember Passwords checked. I have not run any kind of cleanup program or cleared my browsing history. This just started happening within the past couple of days.
View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu 10.04 Gnome.I have a hpDeskjet 940c. It ran great since 8.04 and still works great on 10.04. However, I had to shut down the computer it is on to do some hardware repairs to the powersupply of the computer. So, I moved my printer to another Ubuntu 10.04 machine and discovered I didn't know the settings, such as baud rate, flow control, parity, etc. Ubuntu had never asked me for them....nor was I lucky at guessing them. I then found the hp installer which said it supported my printer and would automatically do the install job, but after trying it, I found it only supported USB and my printer has only a parallel connection.
I then moved the printer to a 9.04 Machine, thinking I only needed to drop back in time, since my printer worked great during that era also, and discovered the same problem! Evidently my printer hasn't been supported for some time! Yet it has happily worked with each new version of Ubuntu.This brought me to the realization there must be a file in my home directory which survives each new full install that I do, and that contains everything my printer needs to be automatically set up, as with each new version of Ubuntu, the wizard has worked great automatically setting it up.Does anyone know the name of that file, so that I can copy it to the new machine?
