Ubuntu :: Bug Report (with Workaround): Kmenuedit?
Mar 26, 2010
There is an issue with kmenuedit. It was complaining that it couldn't write to /home/usuariokubuntu/.kde/share/config/kmenueditrc. But even running it with sudo, the behavior was strange (the applications weren't saved at the menu, and everything was very slow - like taking 40 seconds to create a new item at the menu). It seems that the problem was that the file /home/usuariokubuntu/.kde/share/config/kmenueditrc was setted as owner and group as "root". I've changed the ownership and the group of that file to the user owner of home (in my case, usuariokubuntu), and it is working fine now. So, I would life to report this, so developers can fix the issue. I've upgraded a completely clean instalation of kubuntu 9.04 to 9.10, so I don't know if the issue also happens when directly installing 9.10.

I have the issue described in [URL]... Workaround A allows me to boot, but to make changes permanent, the above suggests I run the following command: echo options i915 modeset=1 | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf sudo update-initramfs -u But when I do this I am told that the 'u' parameter does not exist in tee. There are only 'a' or 'i' parameters.

Tracked problem to /home/{user}/.gconf/desktop/gnome/session/required_components/%gconf.xml. Removed file, problem goes away.

I recently upgraded to Thunderbird 3 using the ubuntuzilla script. One of the great new feature is the so called 'Smart folders' which lets you view all of your mail from different accounts in one list. Since I have set up automatic rules to sort mails from different people and mailing lists in different sub-folders I wanted to include these in the list too. However very time I tried to get Thunderbird to include sub-folders from my different accounts, the settings would reset itself - but now I think I might have found a fix:In your Thunderbird folder find the folder called 'smart mailboxes'.Right-click the file 'Inbox.msf' and select 'Properties' (I think it's called this i'm on a Danish system)Go to the 'Rights' section (again this is what I think it's called) Set your own rights to 'read' only, exit Open Thunderbird Right-click the Smart folders Inbox and select 'Properties'.Choose the folders you want to include, remember to check 'Match all messages'

I recently installed KDE in my ubuntu machine. I would like to try it out for a few weeks at least, but networking is not working at all.
I somehow managed to find the network settings and it shows no connections, wired or wireless. When I log out and log back in with gnome, my wireless gets connected automatically.

I have an USB 3G Modem to access broadband internet.The USB 3G Modem is a flying angel from TechFaith company.The modem works fine under Windows XP. The USB 3G Modem propose a data partition with an automatic installation of its driver and software. When I plug the device to the 9.04 Ubuntu workstation it mounts the data partition, but does not find the 3G modem device. I search the internet to find a solution, and the only working solution I found is the following. However, this solution is not stable, after some minutes the device is dropped (no more ttyUSB). I can not use the same process to enable the device.
Code:
su -
eject /dev/sr1
modprobe -v option
echo "1d09 1026" >/sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id
[code]....
I used the wizard to configure the braodband access (Brunei/B-mobile). It works for somes minutes, and then the connection drops, the /dev/ttyUSB desappears and I can not redo the process.I have to enter the commands in a root shell, the sudo command will not enable the device. Why it does not works with sudo?

Finally got my Lenovo X201 up and running by combining a couple of different workarounds suggested for the graphics driver problem that is plaguing so many. This works on my X201 3249CTO, running BIOS version 1.17, with Ubuntu 10.04.1 (kernel version 2.6.32-24). I have tested it to differing degrees with all four relevant installers (32- and 64-bit, desktop and alternate).
STEP 1. Add "xforcevesa i915.modeset=0" at install. When you first start the desktop installer, you should see "ISOLINUX..." in the upper lefthand corner of the screen, followed by a couple of white logos at the bottom of an otherwise blank screen. As soon as you see these logos, press the space bar to get the advanced install menu. If you are using the alternate installer, you will get the install menu automatically.
--Make sure "Install Ubuntu" is highlighted. Press F6. You should see the install command line near the bottom of the screen, plus a popup menu with additional options. Pres Esc to close the popup menu. A cursor should appear at the end of the install command line.

I'm trying to find a workaround for the keyring requirement when auto-login is enabled.Here's my setup:I'm primarily using my Linux computer as a server, for Git, FUPPES, OpenVPN, etc. Because of this, I do everything remotely from another computer (Windows 7). Most tasks I need to do I perform through SSH, but sometimes I use VNC to see the desktop, since some things are just easier with a GUI.My problem is this: I have auto-login enabled, because of how I use the device. However, when it first boots up, I'm unable to connect with VNC unless I physically go to the computer and type my password into the keyring pop-upDoes anyone know of a way around this? Is there a way for me to input my password into the keyring through SSH, by invoking libpam-gnome-keyring somehow? I've tried to locate this application

I am newbie to Fedora.
I have installed Fedora 13 to my ASUS 1015P EEE PC netbook.
I have installed OOo_3.2.1_Linux_x86_install-rpm-wJRE_en-US.tar.gz using the installation manual from OpenOffice.org, however, when I clicked on Applications --> Office --> OpenOffice 3.2 Base/Calc/Impress or anything, nothing happened. The system still runs as normal, but nothing is opened.

I bought this netbook yesterday & thought of installing ubuntu netbook 10.10 on it.
I booted with windows & started the install using WUBI.
The wubi setup was started but then after copying files it told that some error occurred.
I though that I will deal with it later and left the wubi installed.
Now, when I rebooted after sometime, I am thrown to the code...
My netbook also has Hyperspace installed that comes with netbook. I provided that in case it is caused because of that.
Now what do I do? I didnt do anything wrong and still ubuntu messed up my system

I've been waiting for nVidia for too long or any genius for me to get things working about my ASUS N53JF and this Optimus tech on it.My brother has a FULL HD 1080P waiting for me Is there a way I could get HDMI through his tv without paying for another laptop or nettop or media player.I saved the original HD image with Windows 7 that came with it but oh my. i don't want to come back to Windows.I've been in Ubuntu since Lucid Lynx (that was on my Sony VAIO VGN-AW120D, now waiting to be repared - no money for the reparation broke).
I thought that I would insert the Windows 7 HD image each time I go visit my brother but do any of you have other solutions .. workaround? I mean stable solution, i've heard that Optimus is no where near what Windows 7 can do with this technology Optimus workaround idea for playing through HDMI.

I just installed Debian 6.0 IA64 on my HP zx6000 and it pegs the CPU's when doing absolutely nothing but sitting at the desktop. I searched around on Google and found that there is a bug report: 537572. I was just wondering what the status was on that. Is there currently a fix or workaround?
zx6000 specs: 2 x 1.50GHz Intel Itanium 2 (Madison 6MB), 8GB of PC2100 ECC, 73GB 10kRPM SCSI, NVIDIA Quadro4 900 XGL 128MB.

I'm trying to install Adobe Air on a 64bit Debian system but just can't get it to work. All the instructions I can find on the net are for Ubuntu and I've tried to modify them for Debian but with no luck.
Is there a write up for installing it anywhere around?

I have a Debian etch system I haven't fired up for about a year because the mobo went bad.I had one user setup, I hammered it with all my normal passwords and finally got a prompt that said 'Access Denied'So my understanding is that I figured out my PW, but for some reason this user doesn't have access anymore.Is there a workaround for this? I am just trying to retrieve some files from the drive I don't have a problem formatting it.
Also I tried hooking it up to a windows machine:I loaded Ext2 IFS, it recognizes the drive, but says it can't load it - something to do with the headers being closed out improperly, and basically said I would have to boot it in linux then try it in windows.I tried this after I got to the linux logon prompt (the bootloader had scanned the drive because it hadn't been scanned for x amount of days), this didn't help Ext IFS read the drive.

I recently installed centos 5.5 on a new system, details below. All worked fine for a couple of weeks, then the system froze up. No network access, no keyboard/mouse, blank screen. Had to reboot. Happened again about a week later. Then started happening every couple of days, then daily, and today it happened three times.
I see nothing unusual in any of the logs. The freezing does not seem to be correlated with any particular activity. Happened in both gnome and kde. While it's up, everything seems to work fine. I looked on the intel site for a new driver for this chipset but didn't find a linux version. I tried different versions of this same kernel (PAE, centosplus etc) but have not tried an older kernel.
I installed memtest86 (with yum) but when I try to start it from grub, the screen goes blank for a few seconds, then it reboots. Can't get it to start. Tried a bootable memtest86 cd that worked before (couple of years ago) and it wouldn't boot from it (bios is set to boot first from cd). Maybe this is a strong hint?
My next steps are to burn a new cd of memtest86 and try that. And/or to start removing ram to see if any of them are the culprit. In the meantime I'm asking if any of you have had similar problems with this architecture, or have other suggestions of things I could try. I don't have pieces of hardware lying around that I can easily swap in and out, unfortunately. If all this fails I'll try FC13. Any advice on whether or not you think that might fix the problem would be appreciated, before I go to the trouble.code...

i believe it has something to do with flash and something called no-script.if you google "firefox 10.04 bryce harrington" you can come across what is supposedly a fix for this, however this did not relieve my issue. the issue remains that i can open firefox, go to google and it's ok. gmail, videos, and many other websites immediately close firefox - no error messages or anything. i started firefox in safe mode with no add-ons and deleted all extensions, pages, user settings etc. and it still happens.this is a major issue, because if i can't run firefox i am in trouble - i also use opera, but that is because i have, well had, an issue with opening multiple instances of firefox - as in, i could not open more than one instance. that is another issue for another day, right now i just need firefox to function!

I have a "bad password" reply using wicd 1.7.0 with WPA and a preshared key within Ubuntu 10.10, i.e., I am unable to make automatic/repeatable wireless connections using wicd without a workaround.
I believe this may be a problem interaction between wicd and the way wpa_supllicant is passing the (preshared) key to the network authority (the router). In my case, I use a Linksys WRT54GL running DD-WRT v24-sp2 (10/10/09) std - build 13064 OpenSource firmware, configured as an Access Point in Mixed mode (b/g).
I have no problem authenticating WPA Personal TKIP or AES from Windows or Mac OS X clients with a variety of wireless adapters (Linksys, D-Link, Lucent, Airport (Mac)) (No intervention is required to produce the secure connections).
With wicd 1.7.0 and wpasupplicant 0.6.10-2 (wext as wpa_supplicant driver selected in wicd by default) on Linux 2.6.35.-24-generic (Ubuntu "Maverick Meerkat") and a Lucent Orinoco Gold 802.11b wireless adapter I am able to connect to the network initialy (one time) without the "bad password" error.
After the initial successful connection, reconnection is not possible (the "bad password" error) ***unless the wireless security settings on the router are re-applied. Once reapplied/resaved, a subsequent attempt to create a wireless connection from the Linux client will succeed without any changes having been made on the client side.
The psk data being sent to the router (with respect to the Wireless security settings) is being cached in such a way the connection is initially possible but defeats subsequent attempts at connection. Perhaps the passkey is cached/stored on the client side (after it is used to make the first connection) in such a way that it will be sent incorrectly upon subequent attempts at connection? Of course, I'm simply guessing, here ... it is by luck that I found the workaround to establish this wireless connection.
**********
BTW, FYI, I was unable to use the Gnome Network-Manager to establish any wireless connections at all. Thus, Network-Manager was uninstalled (sudo apt-get purge network-manager) during the installation of wicd (Ubuntu Software centre). wpa_supplicant was re-installed (Synaptic) after wicd was installed.

I just updated my kernel to 2.6.34.7-56.fc13.x86_64 last night and now I have no system sounds. Audacious plays my mp3's just fine, just as all my multimedia works in my web browser, vlc, etc... The only thing being affected is system sounds. I tried playing a sample with aplay and I got loud, crackling nonsense and this output code...

I want to report a bug in rhythmbox. But apparently, it doesn't use launchpad, it uses Gnome Bug Tracker. But where is this located? I can't find Rhythmbox in bugzilla. Goggling for "gnome bug tracker" doesn't bring up anything useful.

it's not a real bug/error in Ubuntu per se, but i found an error in the spanish language pack of Ubuntu.There were some words that weren't translated right.I was wondering how to report/change that.I actually found it in the Ubuntu 9.10 spanish language pack, so i don't know if it's been fixed for lucid, but i thought it would be good to know either way just in case i find some other translation errors.

I just installed 11.04 alpha 3 and I found a bug in the installer. Even though I told it to install the boot loader on /dev/sda7, it installed it on /dev/sda and messed up my other settings. I would like to report a bug, however, when I go to Launchpad and select "report Ubuntu bug" I get sent to this page:[URL]I can see how to report a bug for a currently running process (which would be hard if the process has just crashed), I can see how to request new software/features, but there is nothing for the installer.

Having recently gone on an interview with a company that attempted to con me into writing malware for Linux desktops (which made the assumption that javascript and flash were present), I am concerned about this.I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 desktop x86-64. I wanted to download a free documentary via bit torrent but don't trust bit torrent sites and needed to be able to search for seeds from the client. I installed Vuze (formerly Azureus) from repo. I opened the client and searched for my file and BLAMO!, twenty or so notices came up about me needing an anti-virus, trojans being on computer, etc. Clearly this phishing attempt was directed at a Windows machine, however the behavior of the application is unacceptable. I haven't checked to see if any files were downloaded or nasty tracking cookies created (though I did get one prompt for my password), but I was curious: Is there a place to report potentially malicious or unsound applications in an Ubuntu recognized repo?

I am about to convert a Windows NT system to linux and, before I do this, I would like to get a hardware report from the system. I would like to get things such as CPU type, memory size, graphics type, NIC type, etc.
I recall having seen this sort of information on an NT system long ago but I cannot find it now. Does anyone know where to look?

I have tried multiple times to report a bug, but can't. All I can find is this USELESS guide: [URL]Is this seriously the ONLY way to report a bug? I can't just fill out a form somewhere without running software to do it? When I try to do it the way explained in the guide, it tells me that I'm using a stable version of Xubuntu, and that only people running dev versions (like 11.10) can report bugs.Are they saying that all stable releases are perfect in every way? Surely one must be able to report a bug for them...?
