Ubuntu :: U10.04 - GIMP Starts But Doesn't Open Up / Solution For This?
Jul 11, 2010I hope this is in the right spot, and I have searched but haven't been able to find anything to help me out.
I installed GIMP recently, it worked for awhile, but now it will not open up even after the 'Starting GIMP...' appears. That goes and nothing happens. I've tried un-installing and installing via the software centre as well as via the terminal with no success. Will be happy to go through steps again if someone gives me some guidance.
Ubuntu Servers :: Open Source Solution To Backup Windows Environment
Feb 17, 2010I am mainly a Windows admin, but I do *NIX administration from time to time, for now I need to use an open source solution for backup windows environment mainly, I spent last days playing with bacula and backupPC, and I then chose backupPC, I built a solution with it seems working not bad, but before i go on deeper, I thought asking geeks here better, my main experience with back was with Vertias/Symantec Backup Exec, what do you recommend as most similar backup solution in Ubuntu offer a close level (I don't backup to tapes I back to hard disks), also a gui is preferred, while backupPC do a nice work and i handled its client config file (machine_name.pl), but I still do mistakes sometimes and troubleshooting is annoying, I have to backup files from users machines some of these files are running (like PST files), and I could need to backup a database or something from time to time. so whats your opinion all?

View 8 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Window Borders Keep Disappearing - Open Compiz Icon To Reload Window Manager?
Apr 23, 2010I recently upgraded the motherboard/processor on my computer (as in quadrupled the processor and octupled the ram). The new board has a built in GPU (intel) and from searching the forums, I think this is part of the problem. Every time I boot up the computer, I need to open the Compiz icon and use it to reload the window manager before I see any title bars, borders, etc. 've tried the .bashrc hack (metacity --replace), but that doesn't do anything. In fact, whenever I open the terminal, I need to have two tabs open in order to use it, and when I close it all the borders go away again (even when I haven't done anything). Also, the onboard sound card (intel) doesn't work, but that's another task (I at least have a compatible card for that).

View 8 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Can't Boot After Update / Solution For This?
Feb 6, 2010So I just installed Karmic onto my netbook that used to have Jaunty on it. As usual I did a system update after the clean install finish. In that update it included a kernal update to 2.6.31.19. As far as I know the update went fine.So when I restarted, after the usual bios screen, it just freezes. Some gibberish comes up and nothing happens. I did a hard reset. Then when bios came up again, I chose boot option, and then clicked to boot from my hard drive. GRUB came up (finally) and I chose the old kernal and it booted fine.
Just for good measure I tried booting from 2.6.31.19 and the same strange freezing thing that I mentioned in paragraph two happened.

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Solution For Best Download Experience
May 12, 2010For some reason, my downloads on Windows are really slow no matter what download accelerator I use. I've tried IDM, FDM , DAP , DAM , Orbit , Supersonic , jDownloader - they all have some problem . Sometimes the files just halt and refuse to be downloaded.
Warning : Not For Advanced Users!
On Ubuntu though I have found a wonderful solution that sees me all the time maxing out my download connection and often exceeding it with absolutely no problems.
Here's the combination :
Aria 2 + Flashgot.
I will show you how to set it up, how to configure it and how to pause , resume downloads.
That's all one needs!
1. To get started , let's download Aria 2.
Fire up a terminal and enter
Code:
sudo apt-get install aria2
2. And now Flashgot : Install the add-on from this site: [URL]
Close Firefox
3. Now to choose Aria 2 as the default download manager
Open Firefox
Tools
Flashgot -> More Options -> General Tab and select Aria 2.
4. Now in terminal:
Code:
cd
mkdir .aria2
Now create a file called aria2.conf inside .aria2( which is a hidden folder can be viewed by pressing Ctrl+H in the Home Folder)
Code:
cd .aria2
gedit aria2.conf
5. Open the file and type split=100 on the first line. That does it . Now to download anything say for example a video from ..... : [URL] in the bottom right corner click the flashing icon ( Flashgot Media) or alternatively go to Tools->Flashgot->Flashgot Media
6. Your download will start after selecting a download folder. A window will open which will display progress. To Pause , press Ctrl+C.
7. To resume open History, navigate to the page and again click 'Flashgot Media'
The file will resume.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 Very Slow Boot / Solution For This?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Mint Won't Boot / Solution For This?
Jan 16, 2011Yes, I'm using Mint. It's practically the same as Ubuntu, but the Mint forums have much less people. Hear me out.
I'm dualbooting Win7 and Mint 10, each on their own disk. Mint will not boot. It was working fine a couple days ago, but now only Windows is working.
When I tried to boot Mint recovery mode some of the last lines were code...
I think that it could be a GRUB (GRUB 2) problem because when I booted up this morning GRUB did not have the 5-second timeout it was supposed to have. Minor things like this have happened to me in the past � once, by itself, it changed the default boot to memtest, and I had to change it back with the StartUp-Manager.
I would try using the StartUp-Manager or running sudo grub-mkconfig with my live CD, except that my live CD will not boot. The drive seems to be fine, because I just tested it with The Fellowship of the Ring.
The only thing I have changed recently (to my knowledge) is my CMOS battery, yesterday. Windows is working fine, and it can see the drive that Mint is on (meaning the drive IS connected and does exist!).

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Fan Doesn't Come On After Suspend In 10.04 / Solution For This?
Mar 27, 2011This is my first post here, so I'm not really sure about what sort of responses I'll get. I'm actually sort of regretting the name I chose cause someone else uses it on another website and I can't seem to change it. But that isn't the real issue, so I'll get to the point.
I've had a problem with my Toshiba L355D running Karmic, and now Lynx, overheating for a while. It doesn't heat up as much as other peoples PC's that I've read about, where I've seen numbers like 100c, but it still is significant. When the computer comes out of suspend the fan setting is at its extreme lowest, and the computer, which has had it's bios updates and the kernel modules set to come on when it loads, don't seem to affect it.
The PC will continue to warm up until it reaches its emergency override when the fan comes on, about 80c, and then the temperature will drop, usually at a low of 50 to 60 if given space to cool and 62 to 72 if it sits on a bed. In windows it runs cool no matter what.
Now I love Linux so far since I converted a year ago, but I'm not happy about this. I can ignore other small things, cause Ubuntu hasn't failed me like how Vista did when it erased itself with disk cleanup or with updates causing it to be unable to start up. I can ignore the netflix problem, and WINE has made things easier in other ways, but this issue is the only one preventing my Ubuntu experience from being great. I've read about suspend bugs where Lynx doesn't suspend, but this isn't that, its that the fan controls don't work until the bios has to step in. I've tried to work with Toshiba Utils and still wasn't able to change it.
Is there a way to force the fan to come back on automatically after suspend? I don't mind it running loud if it protects the machine, I would prefer that it works at all.
Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Upgrade To 11.04 From 10.10 / Solution For This?
