View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently installed a base system from a 10.10 alternate cd and then selected a few packages to build myself a light install. I'm using lxdm as my login manager (desktop manager) and openbox as my window manager, with lxpanel and nm-applet autostarting after loading openbox. that's it so far.
My problem is that almost any changes I make as a user are not saved. ie I tried to make a wireless network available to all users with network manager but it immediately reverts. I tried to make changes to permissions through the gui 'users and groups' tool, (with i installed visa gnome-system-tools package in synaptic) but all changes are immediately forgotten. I also cannot mount another partition using pcmanfm. I get the response 'authentication is required.' These sound to me like permissions issues. what groups do I need to be a part of? update: I checked my groups and I wasnt a member of any so I googled around for whats normal and added myself. Im now a member of the groups:
Code:adm disk dialout cdrom sudo audio www-data video plugdev games users fuse lpadmin admin netdev But still nothing. changes are not remembered.
I just reinstalled Ubuntu Lucid Lynx and an old problem has come back. For some reason I couldn't fix it even in my previous installation. The problem is the top gnome panel. See the photo below: As you can see, the network icon is not shown properly while the Me menu is being shown twice. I can't even restart or log out or shut down at this situation without pressing the keystroke to turn the power off.

i did manage to install apt-get and was able to run synaptics ... but now whenever i try to run synaptics it flashes the interface and crashes. i tried apt-get search wget and it says invalid operation search. i tried apt cache wget and get a crash box in the upper right corner... i tried apt-get gtk+extra-2.1.2-4.fc14 and it says invalid operation gtk...
All of which is frustrating my attempts to get the GTK interface to J working. Their script uses WGET which i also cannot get.
For some reason, my computer won't read the icon for my "accessories" category. It's in the categories folder and I have icons named "applications-accessories" and "applications-utilities" but it keeps on defaulting to the inherits icon instead. This has happened for a couple of themes I've tried to install, and I can't figure out why.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen i was in Windows, i had absolutely no problem creating and running basic terminal C++ programs. I came to Ubuntu, and now I've got a big problem: I can't run any program that i make. I have tried making programs in Code::Blocks, CodeLight, MonoDevelop, and NetBeans. All 4 four are free IDE's from the ubuntu installer. I've created 4 programs, 1 on each, and they're all the EXACT same program. When i build it, they build just fine and run. When i release and compile it so it becomes an .exe program, i can't open it. I find the thing, double click, and nothing happens. I rightclick and choose Run, and nothing happens. I made a basic Hello World program, and i couldn't even run that. Is there an extra thing im supposed to install to allow me to run .exe or something?

I burned the movie using K3b and it works awesome in both Ubuntu and on my DVD player with the television. BUT the thing will not play in XP! I understand this is because XP is the work of the devil, but that is not important. The disc shows 4Gb used (in XP) but only gives the title. I even made sure hidden files were visible, just in case somehow the movie was invisible. I have tried burning my DVD directly from the video_ts files in K3b, and first making an .iso file, then going over to XP to burn the DVD using Nero...annnnnd same thing. I can watch them on the TV and 'buntu but not XP.
What have I done wrong? Advice? Need more info? invariably someone wants to ask the irrelevant question "Why do you need to watch it in Windows?"
I just change the theme to plymouth and also apply this command:

Back in July I bought an Acer Aspire ONE KAV60 with Xubuntu installed on it. I used to run Linux a long time ago but had not messed with it for a couple of years and I was surprised to find out how much more "user friendly" Linux had gotten (With Ubuntu anyways). There are more and more GUI programs/processes now days which makes everything easier to do, however there are a couple of things that I have found in the last few months running Linux only on my little netbook.
When I downloaded Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid and installed it from the Xubuntu, I was quite satisfied with the general desktop setup and ease of the operating system. I loved it, it was like going from OS/2 to Win95 all over again! (I'm not that old, I just started young). Here recently, I ran into a little problem with 10.04 and had to re-format, but when I went to re-download it the new 10.10 was available instead. I threw it on a flash drive and installed it on my netbook only to have "problem after problem" upon installation and had downloaded and installed 10.04 from the archives in a matter of a few hours after messing with 10.10.
There were plus sides and down sides to both right off the bat. I am a nerd I suppose and I have started to play a game called Runescape. After installing 10.10, I opened up Runescape and was able to use the "Re-sizable" screen option! That's an amazing option with Runescape on a netbook. I then opened up my favorite and most used program suite called aircrack-ng. I had the apparently infamous problem titled "fixed channel mon0: -1" and was completely unable to get it working (even after reading the SOLVED article on here.) I spent probably 2 hours trying to figure out that problem and was unable to do so. I cannot be without the aircrack-ng suite so I decided to revert back as I fore mentioned.
Upon reverting back to Lucid LTS from the archives, I was happy with the smoothness of how it runs on my netbook compared to 10.10, but as soon as I logged onto that damn game Runescape, I was on a mission to figure out how to correct the "fixed channel mon0: -1" issue on 10.10 so I could have the re-sizable screen option again.
I finally figured out that I needed (from a fresh install on 10.10) to do apt-get install patch and apt-get install gcc before I could complete the steps of the SOLVED issue guide. This was never mentioned and it made me realize I still need to know what I'm doing if I'm going to run Linux and then maybe I won't have all these issues.
Out of all this, I have a couple of questions and would like to learn more about Linux so I do not have these problems in the future. Here are a couple of questions I would like to mention first: What is gcc? I had all that trouble just because I didn't know to install gcc to do the tutorial.
I believe the re-sizable screen option is available for me in 10.10 and not 10.04 because of Java. I did not have to install Java in 10.10 at all, I just opened up Runescape "out of the box". In 10.04, I use Sun Java with the apt-get command in Terminal. Does anybody have any information to confirm or deny this?
Once I got aircrack-ng working in 10.10, I was surprised to find out that it is amazingly fast compared to 10.04. I believe this has to do with drivers. I was able to use aircrack-ng (after install) "out of the box" with 10.04 so I did not download the "compat wireless" drivers that had to be used in 10.10 to get it to work.
If I were to revert back to Ubuntu 10.04 (I much prefer Lucid for my netbook, runs much better), would I theoretically be able to download a different Java and use the re-sizable option on Runescape? Would I also be able to use the "compat wireless" drivers in 10.04 to make aircrack-ng send and receive arp's and ack's so much quicker?
Last but not least, I would like some sources if possible to better learn Linux from. I mean Terminal type Linux, I do appreciate (as I said earlier) the new GUIs that are available now and I didn't have before, but I still feel the need to know my way around the system and I just don't have that knowledge.
I made a little applicaton in MonoDevelopit works fine and does what it's supposed to when I run it inside of MonoDevelop itself.butwhen I try running the output exe file from either the debug or release folders it just won't do anything...s is because my system assorts exe's with wine or is it something else?I can't really figure it out...and now we're at it is there a way for me to change the output format in MonoDevelop??? I pretty much just got it

Is there a way to permanently mess up a pre-made dvd?
i would like to be able to mess up a dvd through software, that way there would be no proof of tampering. (i want a few new movies on blueray )
i would like it to run in ubuntu, but a windows program is fine.
these are factory dvds btw, not dvdrw.
as a personal project i was just curious if i could set up a server and do a little service like "cha cha" any tips on how that would go? for those who dont know cha cha is a service.

View 9 Replies View RelatedGreetings to all from a 60-year-old computer hobbyist and Linux rookie making his first post here. Yesterday I completed a successful installation of Debian 5, lenny, and right now I want to learn what alterations or modifications have been made to my system. I have no complaint about anything at all, I just want to become prepared for any problems I might encounter later on.
1) At one point near the end of my Debian installation, I was asked whether the installer could add something into memory and I (hesitantly) let it do so without knowing what was actually being done. I have a multi-boot system with four versions of Windows installed prior to Debian ... and now my Windows 98 is able to see and access my third drive, a SATA.
Question: How did installing Debian make it possible for my Windows 98 OS to now see and access my SATA hard drive? It is my assumption Debian's installer has somewhere placed one or more drivers my BIOS/DOS now passes along at system startup. How can I make a backup of whatever Debian's installer has done there?
2) After installing Debian and my Windows 98 had begun seeing my SATA drive, I had to eventually re-install Windows 98 because the drive letter for its partition had been changed by the insertion of the SATA drive. At that same time, and while just leaving Windows 98 alone for a while, I had used NeoSmart's EasyBCD to add Debian to Windows 7's BCD ... but then my re-installation of Windows 98 over-wrote that and Windows 7's "startup repair" could never again make its own BCD work. After that, however, and after getting XP's "boot.ini" (including 98 and 2k) working again, a re-installation of Debian resulted in GRUB making a startup menu that now includes *all* systems.
Question: Why or how can/did GRUB find Windows 7 and add it in when Windows 7's "startup repair" could not make a working BCD (or could not make a BCD work) on its own? I have more questions ahead, but like I said: For now I just want to know what I have going on here so I can prepare for any problems I might encounter later. I have a lot of time invested in finally getting this multi-boot system running perfectly with Debian as its default OS and I do not want to have to go back to the beginning and do it all over again because something broke and I had no idea how to fix it!
I couldn't find my previous posting about udev at booting, so I created a new posting with the same material. Subsequently my earlier post showed up again----or I managed to find it. I can't seem to find any information about how I go about deleting the earlier post. Supposedly we are supposed to be able to notify the managers of abusive posts. I thought I might use that to ask them to delete the earlier post, so I will try that..
