Just out of the blue, the layout of my 10.10 Opera was destroyed. If you take a look at the attachment you will see that Class: tag everywhere. How the heck did it appear and how can I make it work like it did before?
View 4 RepliesRunning Ubuntu Lucid Lynx, GNOME 2.3Keyboard Preferences utilityAdding any Spanish language keyboard layout makes my Alt_R not work in ANY layout! I see that it changes Alt_R to "Iso_L..." for all/both layouts, including USA layout. When I click "Reset to Defaults" it's fine again, USA layout shows Alt_R again. I've tried all the variants of the Latin American layout and the Spain layout and they all do the same thing.What is "ISO_L..." and what's going on?i DESPERATELY need my Alt_R to work!

It is correctly recogniced as german keyboard by ev-dev, i guess. (ev-dev managed). But i need to write some spanisch symbols too, like accents (á © í ³ ? ñ¬ ·hich in a normal linux, they do work. For some reason, after rebooting, or after some time of having it running, the keyboard layout resets to an invalid setup, here accents get not over the letter (?a ?e ?i ?o ?u), so i have to select my layout again in the gnome control center.
With my other computermore or less the same.Its a desktop PC with an spanisch keyboard. But i thinck i picked German keyboard during installation and now it starts always with german with some sort of 5 secs delay when setting it. I have to pick spanisch and i always delete the german layout, but after some time having it running, it resets to the previusly deleted german layout.
having problems with my keyboard layout since upgrade from F11 to F12. When I reboot and login into gnome I have to switch back to my layout as it has been set to USA default layout.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI can now no longer access my desktop. the only way I can access ubuntu is through the recovery kernel, and logging in through the command prompt. I installed this theme using install.sh also with the package is uninstall.sh though I can't access it through commands.
What happened is I downloaded the package,extracted it and ran the install.sh. It went through all of the setting up that it was supposed to do and in the end looked like it was working like it was supposed to. However my compiz got shut off so I decided to turn it back on through the desktop settings. Everything looked fine, I hit ok to accept the settings then that's when my screen went haywire. Everything on the screen was blown apart so I had to reboot, hoping that would fix it. now when I try to log back in It will go to the splash screen then go all black before the login page.I've tried resetting Gnome with rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity though that will not work either. I guess I need to have access to the desktop for that to work. I don't know what to do, can my Os be saved or am I looking at a reinstall.I think if I can disable compiz perhaps long enough to boot I might be able to get rid of that theme. thoug I can't find any info on how to do it. everyanswer I find is based on having the desktop running and using gtk programs such as metacity --replace.anyone have any ideas on how I can access my desktop again?
My problem isn't directly related to ubuntu or linux, but I figured that my best chance at a fix would be on ubuntu forums. The problem is that every time I reboot my computer, my partition table gets destroyed. I tried fixing it with testdisk and gparted, but as soon as I rebooted, everything is back to broken. So far I've troubleshooted to the point where I know it's not an operating system's fault. I'm hoping it's nothing more severe than a bad hard drive.
View 3 Replies View RelatedOK so i burn a copy of 9.10 to a CD and started up the live desktop, when i got in i started up gpart. i desisted to give 40 GB to ubuntu i put in the numbers and came out with a 39.04 GB empty partion, so i toyed with it to try to get to 40 on the nose. this is the point where i should have walked away while i was ahead but i did't, i kept toying with it till i was almost there, but when i finally got it i realized i still had to finalized the changes so i hit the green check mark and let it run after 10 min's of gpart was reading my entire 180 gb partion which i had windows on. i grew in partion, and i remembered it was much quicker in the past when i partioned from inside the install so foolishly not knowing what i was doing i hit cancel. then my heart stopped when i saw the word unknown where it used to say ntfs. i relised i just destroy my windows install. i started to panic, because my backup of all my files where on another computer and guess what 3 days ago the hard drive died on it and i never got a chance to back up the stuff from this one to somewhere else. then i relised i had a 10 gb factory installed backup partion. so i restarted the machine and got nothing operating system not detected, and when i trying to got to the started up menu i didn't have the option to boot in recovery mode which i was expecting. but i had one last saving grace i upgraded from vista to 7 for free and still have the install disk, so i started up the install disc and selected recovery mode after trying automatic recovery and falling i tried restore from system image, it couldn't find the partion, as a last ditch effort i tryed system restore and as expected failed
i am at my wits end and have no idea what to do next short of wipe the drive and do a clean install, which i relay don't want to do because I'll lose all my data.
I'm a GRUB novice, unfortunately. My system is a 7-year old Dell tower. Two hard drives, each sliced up into a bunch of ~30 GB partitions. I dual-boot WinXP and Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10. I think I have GRUB2, but don't know how to check without being able to boot. This problem arose during a standard upgrade when I didn't pay attention and GRUB updated and apparently destroyed itself. Now when I boot my system, I get the following message:
Code:
Booting from local disk...
GRUB loading.
error: no such disk
grub rescue>
Almost every fix I found in my searching involved:
Code:
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
but none of the solutions said what to do if that file wasn't found.
When I boot from my Ubuntu install DVD, I can mount my various partitions and browse their filesystems, so it appears that my data is all still intact, I just can't get to it. What should I try next?
I have a sister-in-law, married to an accountant who lives and breathes WinSoftware. I worked hard at convincing her to switch to the simplest Linux available imho, an Ubuntu, latest edition.She tried it, worked fine, was happy.Thenstarted to kernel update.It destroyed the 'boot on Windows' option I had setup, making it a daily pain for her husband to get on his Windows. I need not insist on the fact that Linux won't ever be back on that computer, because Ubuntu's update scripts can't do something as simple as check if Windows is the primary boot
View 3 Replies View RelatedI had opensuse 11.0 on a system at home. Decided to install 11.2 since I had read that 11.2 can do upgrades from then forward.Well I fiddled with the partitioning settings, made sure that it was configured exactly like it was before - /dev/sda1 is /; /dev/sda2 is swap, /dev/sda3 is /max.I knew I would have to do a clean install, but thought it would not touch my other partition /max. I explicitly told it to NOT format /dev/sda3.Well when it booted, it goes into maintenance mode - says my partition is hosed. fsck tells me that maybe my /dev/sda3 is a zero length partition.Hallelujah that I turned off my external drive.So,for sure I will NOT be installing 11.2 on my other two systems at work.Now that my entire machine at home is a vegetable, think I might go take a look at Debian. This is not fun.Thought Linux would be a bit better than Windows in this respect.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've found a serious bug in KMail 4.14.1 (Debian 8): When you delete an attachment from an HTML message, all other content of that message (i.e. the whole body part) will be destroyed.
How to reproduce:
Create an HTML ("Rich Text") e-mail message and save it as draft (or send it if you like)
Mark your saved (or sent) message, right klick on the attachment and choose "Delete Attachment"
The content of the body will be replaced with text like this:Code: Select all. You deleted an attachment from this message. The original MIME headers for the attachment were:
Content-Type: application/pdf
name="test.pdf"
filename="test.pdf"
This problem is specific to HTML (Rich Text) messages. It doesn't apply to plain text messages.
I was trying to perform a new install, so sensibly made a back-up of my data to my external drive. Unsensibly, I didn't unplug the disc before starting the install and the install trashed the partition table/FAT on the external drive.I've used disktree and can "see" that the disk has lots on it, but I cannot access it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy sound worked fine for the first few days.. then I noticed the mic wasn't working in skype so I tried messing with it in sound preferences. Now my speakers explode with this horrible distorted noise(semi-recognizable as whatever I'm trying to play) and sometimes freezes when I try to play any sound. Reinstalling just the drivers to avoid a fresh install, according to the stickied thread at the top, did nothing. Attempting to place the settings back to their defaults also does not appease this bloodthirsty beast.
I've been on a rampage through every lead I've found on trying to fix this problem but nothings worked so far.. it seems the problem is that the onboard speakers (Internal Audio; Analog Surround 4.0 Output) hates it's life in an Ubuntu OS too much to continue living. Not sure if the RS880 Audio Device [Radeon HD 4200] output is with it either.

I've been trying for a while mounting a EMC NAS share on linux. As far as I know the NAS share behaves just like a regular windows share, so the mount process should be very similar. On the NAS server, the disc "Disc1" is shared, and I need to mount a sub-subfolder of that share. This is my line in /etc/fstab:
Code:
//windows_box/Disc1$/folder1/subfolder /var/tmp/mount_test cifs defaults,acl,soft,uid=srvadm,gid=adm,umask=0027,file_mode=0600,dir_mode=0700,credentials=/root/cred.txt,sec=ntlmv2 0 0
When mounting the share, this is what happens:
Code:
[root@server1 tmp]# ll
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 18 10:39 mount_test
[code]....
In the console (i.e. bash), the "mount_test" word on the last line has a red background. When I issue "umount mount_test", everything is back to normal.
Caution to all using ati graphics download repository. I have been using SUSE 11.4 after an upgrade from 11.3 through zypper for months. I added ati graphics as a update repository. Software update installed two ati files. I did not notice their names.
Upon installation my graphics was acting funny so I uninstalled the two ati-files figuring I'd be back to where I was. Now I can only get into terminal window after reboot at both runlevel 3 and 5; no graphics at all. I keep getting message re: display 'null' I wish to return to original graphics configuration prior to ati downloads which, I believed used xorg drivers.
I believe I either need to revise xorg.conf file back to original which was overwritten by ati process or reinstall xorg/X11 related files. I have an ati radeon HD 3450 agp card. 32 bit SUSE w/11.4 installed and running. Anyone have a sample xorg.conf that might work or some other ideas of how to get back to where I was.
As a related question, if I do a fresh reinstall of SUSE 11.4 using dvd can I save my /home files and any /filesystem files that my special software created in root directories.

I'm on ubuntu 10.04 32-bit desktop. Somehow Opera 10.60 is very slow to load. I just switched from FF to Opera, and (I'm pretty sure, might be dreaming though) that the first few days it was lightning fast.. and now it takes like 10+ secs to load any page.

Also, when I install Opera 11.50, then it installs separately and still launches 11.10 from the Unity search.

I just downloaded Opera, and I actually kind of like it and am thinking about making it my regular browser instead of Firefox. (I have version 10.10 by the way.) However, I can't check my Myspace account, because every time I sign in it tells me I need to enable Javascript to use the site. I have Javascript enabled in the site settings and global settings. Myspace worked fine until I randomly hit 'Mask as Firefox' for no real reason, and now it won't work, even though I have it set back to 'Identify as Opera,' the default setting.
View 2 Replies View RelatedForum.Ref:Ubuntu 10.4 Lucid LynxFluxboxOpera 10.61Has anyone a clue how I can solve following (minor but annoying) problem?It takes a relative long time (a few seconds) as normal user before Opera starts in my fluxbox environment. I expected a quicker startup time.Also because when I start opera as root the startup time is shorter.I started opera in a terminal. No messages when started as root with gksudoBut 5 lines of:open: Permission deniedwhen started as normal user. Startup succeeds after these messages.So I figured out that there is some kind of authorisation problem but have no clue how to find out which files opera tries to open and fails and what to do at this point.I searched for similar problems on this forum and also via google but could not find any real answers.
