I am trying to print a file on my HP Photosmart 2575 + Ubuntu 10.04.This could very well be a hardware error because the printer behaves weird on windows too!Anyway, it stops randomly when printing things, however always on the same place. For example this file. It always stops after the third page (printing reverse, so 3rd from the last).
View 5 RepliesI've been tweaking my kernel for RT performance over the past few days, and just recently, it's begun randomly cutting sound playback, and I can't seem to figure out why.
Was watching a movie last night using VLC, and about 5 minutes in, sound playback just totally stopped while video kept working. Sound driver in VLC was set to Pulseaudio. I switched it to ALSA and the problem seemed fixed.
In Decibel Audio Player, the tracks randomly just stop in the middle of a song occasionally (every 5 songs or so, give or take), and a little red 'X' appears next to the track that got "skipped." Screenshot:

Don't recall it happening before I tweaked all the RT audio settings.
I'm having trouble with printing a PDF that is in landscape mode. When I tell Okular or Adoble Reader to print a document in landscape mode, the text is Illegible. If I tell it to print as portrait mode, then I can read the text but the end is cut off and there is no way for me to tell Okular or Adobe Reader what the margins are. That option was grayed out.
I'm having another problem: When I cancel the job from the CUPS interface, it says it canceled the job but the printer keeps going and finishes whether I want it to or not. With 11.2, I was able to have it set up so that when I told it to stop the printer, it did so right away. Why can't I get the printer to stop in the middle of a job if I see something wrong with it so that I don't have to waste ink?
So this has been happening a lot lately. My Lucid desktop just randomly logs me off. I notice that when it happens my RAM is usually over 85% in use as cache. Is this normal? When I first turn on my PC cache is most of the time at about 15-20% but that is expected. I was thinking that maybe some program that runs in the background has a major memory leek, which I would expect in C. This never used to happen and one day it just started, it now does it about 5-6 times a week.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI've recently installed Fedora 14 (x86_64) on my Alienware m15x laptop which has a NVIDIA GTX 260m onboard. Now I have followed leigh123linux's guide to installing those drivers on F14. The installation is a success and everything seems to be in working order, until the system randomly logs the user out and/or restarts the session with no warning. The screen goes black and the nvidia logo appears and then its back to the login screen again. This can happen many times with no apparent stop insight. This does not happen with the default F14 drivers that come with the installation, I have tried several re installations of the Fedora OS and several re installations of the NVIDIA driver, i still have the same problems.

seems like I keep seeing sparql involved when I check. Log offs have happened while using both firefox and chrome, and while viewing a pdf with document viewer since upgrading to 10.10.

Boot of a new minimal system hangs on "Stopping save kernel messages" or "stopping system v runlevel compatibility". I have ubuntu minimal iso x86_64 from usb stick created with unetbootin (don't have a cd drive on the machine in question), and after that I didsudo aptitude install gnome-terminal network-manager-gnome gdm geditsudo rebootnever got a system back.

I notice that when I leave my machine and come back the screen has locked. I have tried to turn off the screensaver, but it hasn't worked.

Is there a way to do this via the command line?
When I try to login as me - it gets pretty far but then something happens and automatically logs out. This happens in Gnome, Kde too. Now - I have no problem logging in a Root. Is there a way I can try to stop the login process before it kicks me out, or is there a way to look at some files to tell me what's going on?

When i connect the printer, Debian doesn't recognize my printer as the Photosmart B109 printer for unknown reason. When i go to the site of HP and search for a driver, it directs me to this site:I've downloaded that latest hplip file as a .run file and installed it. My printer is recognized proparly, but when i try to print a colored image, it comes out black/white. Something is not crrect. Does anyone recognize this problem with this type HP printer?

I have a problem with my non-powered external UBS HDD.
When i right click it and choose "Remove safely", it vanishes from nautilus and the Places menu, but it continues to have the lights on and spin. I am wondering if it is really safe to remove my hard drives like that or if it is an issue.
I will be switching to Debian soon and have been forming a large script with a vbox test system to automate my system configuration when I switch.
When I install lamp (Or basically it's equivalent packages) apache and mysql start up automatically.
I could just use update-rc.d to remove the autostart but whenever there's a security or feature update for the package the files get replaced.
In addition, for some reason the system thinks it's a good idea to autostart half a dozen apache2 processes at the same time, sucking up a good 150Mb ram when not doing anything. (Anyone know why?)
How would I stop my system from doing this? Could I "chmod 000" the /etc/init.d files?
Is there a way to stop conky from closing when I click on it? I have a few set up as a system monitor bar on the desktop, and I'd like to anchor them there from accidental clicking so I don't have to restart my script.
View 2 Replies View RelatedOk so I just installed Ubuntu server 9.10. It started out as cmd line only, I ended up installing ubuntu-desktop package from apt ran startx, and from that point on when ever I start the server I get the gui login screen instead of the original cmd line prompt. Now Ive been surfing around the net trying to figure out how to get it back to the original cmd prompt login screen, I really want to use startx when i need a gui.. the main reason I installed this package is really for all the libraries that it contains as i will use a few programs (firestarter, powertweak etc) that use a gui and I figured to make my life simpler i would just install the entire gnome desktop package so i will have everything i need when i try to run these misc programs (most of them will be run thru x11 forwarding as this server will only have internet and power plugged into it) Ive tried disabling gdm startup Ive even removed the /etc/init.d/gdm file all together and it still starts X (i moved it to /usr really but it should(?) work the same as deleting it). there is no other desktop manager to my knowledge (kdm etc).
Ive tried rcconf it says gdm is disabled (i tried disabling it before removing gdm from init.d and nothing), I went thru trying to disable anything that has to do with xserver so far I have only found x11-common I dont think it starts up x but i disabled it anyway. Ive also tried "update-rc.d -f gdm remove" that doesn't do anything either seems no matter what i try i cant stop the gui login screen from popping up.How do i get it to start with the original cmd prompt login?? i am considering reinstalling to get it back but i will lose all my work and that will defeat the purpose
I installed Ubuntu 10.04.1 yesterday, and I've been trying to install my nvidia 240 drivers for it. I've done this multiple times on 9.## and it worked fine. When I try to install them it says i need to shutdown xserver. so I open terminal and type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop screen goes blank and all there is is a flashing _ at the beginning. I'm not able to anything except type, but no commands work.
So, I tried starting it up in recovery mode root shell or whatever, and it shows the command prompt. Then I login, and it says welcome, I go to my downloads folder and type sudo sh NVIDIA...256.44.run and it says I need to be in telinit 3, so I get out of the installation and type sudo telinit 3.well that brings me up to a login command so I type my username then it askes for a password, which I also fill in.Now it says incorrect login. So I try again, and it keeps going on, but then I noticed that it puts the first letter of my username infront of Password.And the only way I can get out of that is by Alt + Ctrl + Del to restart, same when I shutdown gdm.
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
This code isnt working. I get "command not found." Does anybody know the correct code?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a bit of an intermittent issue with my audio in Ubuntu, which i run into when i'm listening to podcasts. As i'm listening to podcasts in google reader, it will suddenly stop playing. After this happens, nothing in reader will play anymore, and things from ..... will play only video, no audio.
While this is happening, I can play a pod cast in totem movie player in mp3 format. This'll work fine for a while, but eventually the audio will stop, forcing me to push play and then look through the pod cast looking for where it was when it was stopped.
It's pretty annoying having to reboot 2 or 3 times a day to get my sound working in firefox. I have to reopen all my applications and projects every time.
Also, I noticed this line in my /var/log/messages file.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI've been plagued with this problem for weeks. It finishes writing the DVD but after it ejects and reloads, it doesn't go through the verification process. Yet I never fail to hand-verify the DVD using 'cmp'.
In this case today I created a multi-directory DVD and had an .iso image made first. It's still sitting there in /tmp (with a backup copied to /opt so I can close out k3b). How would I verify the .iso against what's on the DVD? How does k3b do it? Hopefully this means a command line solution.
BTW what are the command line apps for burning and verifying a DVD? I'm not so hot on graphical apps for this task anymore.
I'm using asctime function to print the time to a file, however it always puts a new line with it, for example if I do
fprintf(pFile,"%s",asctime ( tm ));
fprintf(pFile,"hello world");
it writes
Fri Jan 28 18:11:38 2011
hello world
rather than
Fri Jan 28 18:11:38 2011 hello world
it's as if asctime adds to the end.

openSUSE 11.1
KDevelop 3.5.5 using KDE 3.5.10 "release 21.12.1"

Problem: When I attempt to debug my program with breakpoints set the debugger does not stop at breakpoint. Message in gdb window is:
/bin/sh -c libtool gdb .../C++/Graphyxs/debug/./src/graphyxs --interpreter=mi2 -quiet

Attempted fix: Some forum posts suggest KDevelop upgrade. Upgraded from 3.5.4 to 3.5.5; gdb upgrade not available in openSUSE.
Other posts recommend assurance that debugger options are properly set. KDevelop Project Options has Compiler Flags -O0 -g3 with "debug" configuration.
I'm running openSUSE 11.1. When I'm in Gnome or KDE or any Desktop session, the X server keeps running when I do an init 3, (i.e.) I'm still in the GUI instead of going to the console. When I type runlevel it shows that I'm in runlevel 3, but the X server is still running. The X server is not getting killed on an init 3.
