I just installed maverick on my son's netbook, and so far we like the new unity interface. The main issue is that there seems to be a maximum number of apps that can be listed under any particular category in the applications browser. So for instance when he goes to his "Games" category, it only lists applications up through S (he has a lot of games installed).
So far I haven't found a settings panel for unity. There has to be a way to bump up the maximum.
So the thread title kinda sums it up. If i have eth186 and i reboot I have to open wicd and change it to eth187 get connectivity. I'm currently at eth200 so this has been a problem for a while.
So I recently set up a fedora 13 server using software raid. Let me go over the initial install and maybe that will help explain why I'm running into problems with one of the arrays. During installation I had only 2 disks in the equipment (WD 750GB each) Partitioned them thusly:
This has to be the sixth time I am going to have to reinstall Ubuntu (Can't get enough of that Linux greatness) in the past 6 months. I just don't understand what exactly is wrong, I don't install anything extra (but the ubuntu restricted extras) yet updates that ask me to reboot will take me to a GRUB command line screen and trying to boot through the command line interface gives me an, "Invalid Magic Number", error.
There should be an official tool for when problems like this come up, so that users like me can easily move their files off their HDD before reinstalling. I didn't come here to rant but, does anyone know what may be causing this everytime, how it can be avoided maybe even how to deal with the Magic Number error and boot in (I wouldn't mind typing in the commands every time BTW)?

Problem with lowering brightness and increasing it, When I press button to lower brightness it doesn't remember, but when I set it with power management it is fine.
I was playing around with the NVidia settings control panel today and I saw that its Resolution dropdown was giving me options for
1680*1050 1920*1080
My monitor supports up to 1440*900. When I selected one of the higher resolutions, it didn't look very sharp, and the text was somewhat fuzzy and lacked clarity. Was this rendering being done by the graphics card but 'compressed' by the monitor?
The status said 'switched to metamode'. I tried searching but found nothing - what exactly does MetaMode mean? I'm more interested in understanding what was happening, only experimenting with the higher resolutions. What monitor and resolution do you have?
As I have a opt/sybase folder in Linxs I want to increase the size of this folder how can I increase it? For example the size we mention at the time of installation Sybase is 2gb now I want to increase by 4gb how can I increase it.
I got a legacy server, and through munin I notice that periodically commited memory keep on increasing. The chart looks like a spiky sine graph, but every cycle it increase both max and minimum. After few days it will go over my physical memory it will keep on growing until the machine crash... Usually I reset the memory by rebooting the machine which is not a solution at all. Is there any way to know what process(es) that took the committed memory? Is there any way to release the committed memory without rebooting the machine? Is there any way to cure my machine from this disease? as an information, I'm using CENTOS 5.5 i686, AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ this is what I get from /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 3499776 kB CommitLimit: 10023760 kB
currently
Committed_AS: 3972804 kB which is bigger than my MemTotal
I am using sda1 as /, which is a bootable drive. I do not know if my problem is that I did not create a /boot drive. After removing the iso dvd, I tried to reboot and I get this back: -bash: /sbin/reboot: input/output error Then it returns me to the terminal prompt.
Is there any way of improving performance with the GTX 470 using Wine software with Debian Squeeze?
Installed version of Wine is 1.3.6 tested with different versions of nVidia drivers including the latest one, still VERY slow performance and many quality settings are in red. Setting WoW to use OpenGL improved the performance, but deactivated many quality settings in red, unfortunately. Looks to me as it's using lower features than OpenGL 2.0?? So what's up with that? GTX 470 supports OpenGL 4.1 so I suspect it's an limitation in Wine software, can anyone confirm this?
Default kernel 2.6.32 is used in all of this. The computer is an Intel Quad at 2.4ghz + 4 GB DDR 2 or DDR 3 memory.
I just got a CRT monitor today, used of course, and plugged it in, pleased with many things. However, the screen is blinking subtly as a result of low refresh rate. This monitor is supposed to be 1024x768 @87 hz and 1280x1024 @66hz (here are the specs [URL]. I only get the following from Xrandr:
Code: Select allfoo@debian:~$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 4096 x 4096 VGA1 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm 1024x768 60.0* 800x600 60.3 56.2 848x480 60.0 640x480 59.9
Is there anyway I can get my desired resolution? I can't find the xorg.config which I read about.
I am running Fedora 15 along with Windows 7 on my Dell laptop. Yesterday, when I was trying to install TeX Live, it stopped in between saying that there is no space left in File System. Even though I have space in my hard drive volumes, space seems to be running out of my system partition which is only 9GB in size (I guess!).I am posting a few results that might help you guys. I have an unformatted 15GB partition. How can I add it to my system partition? And is my var folder too big (1.5GB)? If yes, how do I backup its contents and then delete them? Additionally, the File System shows a folder 'media' (89GB) which links the C: drive that contains Windows 7 and my personal files. Should it remain that way or should I separate it? If the latter, how? I just couldn't find any.
Code: #df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
In my office we sometimes have servers that hit the max_connections limit. As we sometimes have scripts that take up that 1 extra 'superuser' slot for MySQLD, we'd like to raise that. Google really hasn't turned up much on this, is there a way to raise the number of slots?
i got low space left on my home folder .. i installed ubuntu and set home folder's size to 20 gbs and 70 gbs for my "/" partition , 2gbs for swap.Is there a way to increse those 20 gbs ? maybe take a lil from my "/" partition?
ubuntu 10.10 dual booting with xp. everything works fine but my bootup choices of ubuntu 10.10 or ubuntu recovery mode have now trebled i.e are repeated three times on boot list, with windows still as one choice at the bottom of the list. is this normal? is something wrong and do i need to do anything?
I seem to be entering my password far to often. Every time I just turn my back I have been logged out!! It would be nice to increase this time out time by a couple of minutes.
Is there anyway to get more options for desktop resolution? The max I have available right now isn't high enough. Ive read a couple of different ways to do this, but nothing that I have been able to follow.
I have a HP Mini 311c that has an ALPS touchpad. Linux Mint detects it as a mouse and so when I try to increase the speed of the mouse, nothing actually happens. I've created a script which includes just the following code:
#!bin/bash xset m 5 2
This is saves as startup-script.hl on my Desktop. I then go into Startup Applications and add the script in there. But when I reboot my Netbook the mouse is moving at its default slow speed. I've ensured the script file is allowed to execute (right click > properties > permissions) and have also tried copying it to the init.d folder with no luck.
One thing I have noticed though is that straight after I login to Mint the mouse cursor does move at the speed I want, but after a few seconds reverts back to the slow speed.
I have installed ubuntu 10.10 inside windows (windows 7) from the ubuntu home edition CD.I have allocated a disk space of 12GB. How could I increase the disk space to 20 GB without reinstalling ubuntu?
We just doubled the RAM on our RHEL 4 production servers...Oracle from 16gb to 32gb and Apache/JBoss from 8 to 32 gb. I am trying to figure out how to get the biggest bang from the increased RAM. Should kernel.shmmax be upped to be 50% of the 32gb....from its current 8gb? I need to create the largest possible SGA and was unable to do so, apparently because the kernel.shmmax value had gone unchanged.
And for the JBoss web servers, also RHEL 4, and particular kernel changes which can take advantage of the increased RAM and provide an immediate performance improvement?
I am using ubuntu lucid.as a desktop and don't run a server. The editor I use is vim so increasing font by edit > profile preferences. What I need to know is how to increase the size in console ie. when I use Ctrl +Alt + F1 to F6. On running xrandr I get this :
[Code]...
I know that,the graphical user interface ( using X windows , I think ) sits on top of the base system ie F1 to F6. In the Fs , xrandr replies "Can't open display ". The question is am I right in thinking that "gui" is totally independant of the base ( is that the correct word ?). I have read that messing about with resolution can wreck a monitor ( I'm using a laptop) , is there a safe way to proceed?
ecently I tried to increase the size of my swap partition using GParted, but it wouldn't let me. I wondering if there was another way? Currently it's 795 MB but I want it to be 1GB
