I set 'FSCKFIX=yes' (via 'gksudo gedit /etc/default/rcS') in order to fix the 'no init found' issue. Now the 'no init found' issue has returned as my setting reverted to 'FSCKFIX=no' for some reason.How can I ensure that 'FSCKFIX=yes' stays permanently set?
View 1 RepliesI use a Logitech USB headset with microphone at work for phone conferencing, and for some reason whenever I restart Ubuntu (and sometimes seemingly at random times), the settings for the audio input device revert to the defaults (the internal audio hardware).I can always reset it back to the USB headset by going to the sound configuration menu (Preferences -> Sound -> Input), but if any applications that use a microphone are already running, they will need to be restarted in order to make use of the newly configured input device.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI had an ubuntu 11.10 installation that was no longer supported and was low on disk space, so I bought a new disk and installed debian wheezy on it and made it the boot disk.
The machine had/has a samsung e2020 monitor, and ubuntu and the new debian install both recognized it as 1600x900 resolution. I ran the proprietary nvidia driver with ubuntu but did nothing at all with the debian ... it just worked.
The power supply on the machine conked out and I took it ro be replaced and dug out an old, old machine to use while the newer one was gone. Debian would not install on it. But ubuntu 11.10 did, but displayed at 1024x768 on the samsung which it recognized as a 'VGA'. It was slow, but it worked. When the newer machine came back I reinstalled it ... but its debian 7.6, which used to know the samsung at 1600x900 resolution, now runs it at 1024x768, just as the old box had!
It must be some change made to some firmware in the samsung itself? It's not very pleasant.
I've tried to install the nvidia driver , but no luck there. I see now that debian uses something called 'nouveau' to run the proprietary nvidia chip, and I'm all for that ... but it used to be able to run it at 1600x900 and now it's forgotten how.
Here they are ...
Code: Select alljfl@wsdeb:~$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 4096 x 4096

Every time I mount one partition manually as read write it works fine for a couple of minutes before reverting to read only. It still appears as read-write when I list the mounted directories but won't let me write to it.

So I just updated my IdeaPad to Natty and played around with Unity. The performane was absolutely unbearable so I installed Unity2D from the software center. Now when I start the session everything seems to be fine at first. Whenever I move the mouse over the panel though it seems to switch to my old gnome-panel from the "Classic" session (with some missing icons). When I move the mouse over that panel again it switches back to the Unity panel style. What is going on? Can I fix this somehow? I will have to use the classic session until I get a working consistent behavior

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have some troubles configuring it.
I.) Setting up the network: I have 3 pcs:
1x Ubuntu 10.04 (Desktop)
1x Ubuntu 10.10 (Desktop)
1x Windows 7 (Professional [activated])
I tried setting up samba (install all the required packages and stuff) but it does not work for the Ubuntu 10.10 PC! I can enter the IP of my 10.04 desktop pc and those files are shared, however, with the exact same settings (and other IP) the 10.10 pc does not seem to be able to use any samba shared stuff at all! (Not even the samba stuff it shared). However, on the 10.04 I can access the shared 10.10 stuff so samba should be running and be configured correctly. I know uninstalled everything (Samba) and replaced the smb.conf with an old backup. Is there any guide how I can set up an samba share that also appears in the network? I will sooner or later update the 3rd PC to ubuntu too, however, I'd like to have Windows compactiblity in my network.
II.) Working with PlayOnLinux (POL): I have installed Warcraft 3 + TFT successfully, however, I don't know how I can install any game that is not on the POL list into the POL framework.
III.) Programs that I am missing: I have found a lot of software already that I use every day, however, here is some stuff I am missing that I haven't found a good replacement until yet: (Would be great if you tell me programs that could replace them) Mikogo (Teamviewer is totally laggy) [An presentation remote-control GUI-based program]
IV.) Troubles using Empathy/Pidgin: I am using the latest pidgin and latest empathy version and enabled the empathy plugin for pidgin. However, from time to time Pidgin tells me that I need to reactivate accounts and I will get disconnected. Is there any way to solve this? (And why does this happen?)
V.) Partition "magic" - Suggestions or feedback: I have these partitions:
1.) Primary Ubuntu, 20GB, ext2 (System)
2.) Extended, 400GB
3.) (Extends 2.) Data, 50GB (Backups & co), NTFS - Should be accessable in windows too
4.) (Extends 2.) Files, 300GB (Media...), NTFS - Should be accessable in windows too
5.) (Extends 2.) Docs, 50GB (.doc, .xcl,..), NTFS - Should be accessable in windows too
6.) Primary Windows, 100GB
7.) Swap
In linux I mount them as /data, /files/, /docs, /windows and /.VI.) Backup the whole system (Solved): Connected to V, I would like to know how to backup the whole primary ubuntu drive with being able to restore it.
VII.) Login issues:Whenever I log into my ubuntu, it says "Waiting for a program to react" (Power Manager). It says logout or wait as actions.
I have searched around about this but have had no luck - I have two laptops both running Mint 8, and I would like to use Giver to send files from one to the other.

I don't need any advanced network stuff - I simply would like to use Giver.

I'm NOT asking about clipboard managers like Glipper, Parcellite, GNOME itself should let configure clipboard behaviour: package "gnome-settings-daemon" includes "Clipboard management" - this is installed and running by default.[URL].. But - where I can make settings of clipboard ?
I have thing, in "gnome-control-center" - there are many applets, corresponding to gnome-settings-daemon plugins. But I can't find no clipboard setting. Where is it ? I remember, in past (maybe it was in KDE desktop (?)) I could set, if my X selections should be added to "ctrl-c" list and vice versa or not. This is what I need.
But once again - I do not ask about installing Clipboard managers. I'm asking - where is standard GNOME clipboard setting in Lucid.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI recently got an old computer to use as a server and I have a whole list of things I want to do on it, but I'm having difficulties.When I installed the server, I installed AMP, FTP, Samba, CUPS, and some other items. I made a user account called 'nessdan' which (currently!) is in these groups:
www-data adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin sambashare admin
The www-data group was added because I wanted to FTP my site files into '/var/www/' . Okay, that ended up working out for me. This is where things got sticky. I installed PHPMyAdmin and the files went to '/usr/share/phpmyadmin/' . I wanted to install a new theme so I downloaded it onto my Laptop, then logged in via FTP but couldn't transfer files into there! It turns out the folder was owned by 'root' and was in the group 'root'. The only thing I could come up with was to change that folders permissions so the owner was 'nessdan' and the group 'admin'. I was going to do that to the entire /usr/share/ folder but I didn't know whether or not I should be changing the permissions in the first place.
But the the trend continues! I have my print server setup and working but I wanted the server to hold the Windows drivers, so I went to '/var/lib/samba/' to do some work but noticed that a lot of the files' permissions were locked down to read only and the owner and group were 'root' . I ended up doing a 'chmod 775' and changing the owner and group to 'nessdan' and 'admin', respectively. Well I transfered over the files but now the service nmbd isn't working. The good news is, I expected to mess something up along the way and had already planned on reinstalling Ubuntu Server 10.10. I've only had the server for 4 days now and I knew from the beginning I'd be wiping it clean. I want to know how to set this thing up proper and the biggest problem is getting access into folders so I can FTP into them.When I do wipe my PC clean and start anew, how should I go about the changes that I did before (PHPMyAdmin, Samba Driver Folder)?

Running 11.04 64-Bit
I recently purchased a Netgear G54 wireless USB WG111 so I could acess the net wirelessly from home.

With no access to the web and no Wrapper is there another way I can get this wireless device working?
