Ubuntu :: 10.10 - Any Way To Change Wake Up Requirements
Feb 10, 2011
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10. Is there a way to eliminate, or at least change the length of time, of having to enter your password after the screen timesout from no activity? I've looked all though Preferences but have not found anything that seems to address this.
I Was Just Wondering What The System Requierments for Ubuntu 10.10 are Because i am interested in installing it on a 500 MHz 256 MB Ram Gateway Pentium 3 Will it work?
I have been trying to install 9.10 on a 2007 Satellite Laptop, L35, 512MB RAM, 60GB HD, Intel Centrino.The CD drive is damaged so I booted from an USB, in the live session and in the installing process the computer freezes. I finally tryed installing ubuntu using the whole HD, deleting Windows XP, I hoped this would help Ubuntu's performance... failure.
What are the hardware requirements for 10.4? Should I try an older version of Ubuntu? Should I try a different Distribution?
I have a Windows 98 computer I would like to run a linux distribution on. Note: It has 333Mhz and 64MB of RAM. Currently (using the KernelEx program), I can run the latest Firefox w/ latest Flash and use Microsoft Word 97 and Excel 97. Are there any options in the Linux world that can match what Windows 98 gives me with my system specs?
I plan to bye a router for my desktop PC. I will plan to use many hotspots in my location. I don't have much experience with this equipment, and I need router or just small WiFi card.
my ubuntu laptop is running very slowly, it was running fine until I rebooted it then it has stayed really slow. It takes 7minutes to boot and crashes alot, most of the time it takes a good 3 mins to open anything,
I have an older PC running Ubuntu 10.04, and the system is slow, especially with Firefox running. I recently upgraded to 2 gig memory, but it didn't help. I have plenty of space on my hard-drive, using only 30 gig of 80 gig. My CPU is Intel Celeron 2.40GHz. I have broadband, and the speed seems good. What are the system requirements for Ubuntu 10.04? Any tips for speeding performance, esp on Firefox? I used to do a defrag when I had Windows; is there any need to do that on Ubuntu also?
I'm a new Linux user (Ubuntu), and i need a simplified explanation of how to install and configure OpenCA in order to test it and anderstand how it works.
I have an old notebook on which I would like to install Fedora 15. Because the normal requirements of Fedora 15 are prety high I would like to install the command-line version (so without GNOME/KDE). I was wondering what the requirements of the command-line only version would be. Would it run on a 650MHZ PIII, 128mb RAM system? If so how do I install a command-line only version?
I've built a server with (intentionally) very low-power components. The motherboard uses a Via C3 CPU running at 700MHz. The server has 512MB of RAM and I'm running 8.04 Server Edition (no GUI). This is purely a file server - not a lot of daemons started (except the defaults) -- no web server, etc. Just NFS, Samba and Open SSH (for remote administration). I'm not sure how much free RAM it has (it's down at the moment).
Is the RAM/CPU going to be inadequate for running software RAID5? I've done some big rsyncs and even without RAID, this thing is pretty slow. I'm not terribly concerned about the write speed, but if the read performance is going to be inadequate for playing (not streaming - just playing) a 720p MKV movie over my LAN, then I need to rethink this.
i tried gnome out on my laptop. very slow. and all the text is a bunch of blocks. this makes no sense, as my eee pc 1000HE with the atom's mediocre graphics ran the shell fine before the screen got smashed. my laptop is a dell latitude d400, with the intel 855gm integrated graphics chip. I am using ubuntu 10.10. I was using ppa:ricotz/testing for gnome shell.
Will someone give me a list of Linux systems that have small requirements? I bought a IBM Thinkpad for 5$, it has 128 MB RAM Pentium 3 700 Mhz. What's something good for that?
I am testing release 10.10 of Ubuntu desktop from a USB boot drive. It looks great so far, and I am thinking of installing it on the machine. However, I would like to know the disk space requirements. I know I could look them up, Also, while working with the interface I accessed all of the machines devices from the Linux OS and saw that I could partition an existing partition. However, that houses the Windows XP SP3 installation and I was wondering if altering partition size would wipe its contents.
I would be awsome if I could dynamically alter the partition to the size required by Ubuntu plus some slack for applications and the like so I could have both OSs on the same machine without having to reformat the drive for dual boot and re-install both OSs.
What are the hardware requirements of openSUSE 64 bit? Is it the same as 32 bit? In particular, I'm concerned with how much HD space I need to install the OS. The ISO for openSUSE x64 was 4.2 GB. Crazy!
This question could well apply to any computing environment but as I'm using Ubuntu (10.04)I'm no power user but I recently installed a newer power supply, mostly for it's slightly better efficiency rating. It's the kind with multiple fan speeds and it increases cooling proportionally to the load being drawn.
So I've noticed, whilst using the standard "movie player" in full screen the power supply fan speeds up significantly, so much so that I need to increase the volume of whatever i'm watching. However, if I watch the same file in VLC no such fan speed up occurs. Now I realise this could be down to any number of encoding and decoding settings in each program but the quality of the output, on my fairly dated but still useable machine (P4 3.8 (from when clock speed mattered more than architecture!), and 1GB Ram), is equal to the human eye in both instances. Does this point to more efficient coding of software on VLCs part? Are there pieces of software out there which mean the same pc will use less power than if using similar software. If so, has such a list been compiled? I've not found one but I'd be interested in seeing one so my PC usage could be as green and responsive to use as possible.
checking for GLADE... configure: error: Package requirements (libglade-2.0 >= 2.4) were not met:I can't find this file, I tried running yum install libglade and it worked, but it won't accept it.Package libglade2-2.6.4-1.fc11.x86_64 already installed and latest version.
configure: error: Package requirements (purple) were not met:No package 'purple' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables PURPLE_CFLAGS and PURPLE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. What am I supposed to do from here? I know libpurple is installed but the package "purple" doesn't even exist. The application I'm trying to install is called gFire by the way.
I am looking to build up a HA/LB linux cluster with specific software requirements. For hardware, I have a number of dual xeon PE 2650s and would like to use them as efficiently as possible. These are 32bit systems, I anticipate scaling up to 64bit systems when I have a tested, working solution in place. For distro, I am familiar with CentOs, Gentoo and Ubuntu but unsure as to which would be the best foundation, although leaning towards CentOs. For software, I need to realise all the services provided by xampp (Apache, MySql, PHP, Perl, FTP), plus Red5 flash media server.
My current train of thought is; 6 physical servers; 2 Directors/Heartbeat, 2 Apache, 2 Red5 Gigabit private network for connecting the nodes. CentOs 5.5 on all nodes. DRDB across the 2 Apache nodes for Apache, MySql, PHP. DRDB across the 2 Red5 nodes for Red5.
it is not clear to me, by reading different postings/documentations for ntfsclone, what restrictions and/or requirements exist for the target partition (TARGET). Can the TARGET be bigger in size than the SOURCE, or must it be identical? Must the TARGET be formatted as an NTFS filesystem, or must it left unformatted?
We are looking at installing a linux server in the office, the requirement for the same are.All sent items of any users but be sent like a bcc or a copy to a common management id. All sent items must be saved with a copy.There would be only 1 email id on the remote server and mailman would have then to distribute the emails when it downloads are this possible in linux if yes please suggest me which email software would support this and has anyone done this before with spam assaign etc.
For some of them I used apt-get ( yes I had to install apt first) and the other, I used yum. But when I run ./configure in libtorrent-0.12.4 directory, I get this error at the end of it's process: checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for OPENSSL... configure: error: Package requirements (openssl) were not met: No package 'openssl' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables OPENSSL_CFLAGS and OPENSSL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. What should I do to install it?
i have a sony vaio desktop pentium 4 1.5ghz 128mb and i want to install ubuntu on it,iv tried ubuntu 10.04 but it doesnt meet the system requirements,i also tried ubuntu 8 but it says "this kernel requires an x86-64 CPU and i only have i1586CPU"
What is the minimum CPU or processor required for a Debian stable installation with no GUI, desktop environment, or window manager? I can find specs for all minimum hardware capabilities except for the processor on a system with no desktop GUI. (Debian Stable GNU/Linux Installation Guide 3.4 Meeting Minimum Hardware Requirements) section 2.1.2: CPU, Main Boards, and Video Support and Linux Hardware Compatibility Section 4.1—Intel make it seem like any i386 CPU is good enough.
When installing COMPIZ on KDE 4.3.5 and Opensuse 11.2 64 bit, I get the following error message: "compiz-kde4-0.8.4-167.x86_64 requires compiz = 0.84, but this requirement cannot be fulfilled. Is there any way to resolve this issue, and is the problem missing repos?
