Recently I install KDE session on Ubuntu Lucid. Result, really weird and annoying. On the ubuntu desktop, for some reason some Compiz setting on enabled and there is no way yet of me disabling it. Such as which I'm really trying to disable, 'Place Windows'.

Compiz seems to have had a bug where, upon using Compiz as the window manager, the mouse cursor would refuse to properly change after selecting a new theme. The workaround (altering the index.theme in/usr/share/icons/default) used to be a way around the issue... that is, until the latest Nautilus updates. Now even that won't let the cursor change, and I'm stuck with the issue of a Bluecurve cursor inside applications, but the default dmz-aa cursor on the desktop. Has anyone else found a way around this bug?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSince a while ago, any changes I make to my Compiz settings are not remembered when I log in again.
On starting a new gnome session, Compiz is firstly always disabled ("Visual Effects" in gnome-appearance-properties is set to "None"). I can enable the "Extra" option, but when I open gnome-appearance-properties a second time, the option is not selected (although Compiz will now be running), and when I log out and back in, Compiz will be disabled again.
After enabling it manually, I find that secondly, the "Desktop Cube" largedesktop feature is replaced by "Desktop Wall". I can change this in ccsm, and the changes take effect immediately, but when I start ccsm a second time, the changes are gone (the "Desktop Cube" checkbox is unselected). After logging out and back in, the old settings are in effect again.
Since ccsm will forget the changes even before I log out, I suspect it is somehow unable to save them. I've tried looking at the stderr output of gnome-appearance-properties and ccsm, but haven't seen anything that looks relevant.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a very bad attempt at hashing the components of an tcp session to assign/locate the session in a hash table bucket. I am pretty sure that it has a very high collision rate and when there are a very large number of tcp sessions my application is having to search a long linked list to find the session within the bucket.
All the hashing functions I have found take a single string input where I need to input several integers and hash them into a single result. My guess is that any real hashing function is going to produce better results than what I am currently doing.

I am putting together some new systems for my customer and I'm having some trouble with a script that we use to back up files to a DVD R. The problem is that I can't write a 2nd session to the DVD unless I eject the disk and reload it. The drives are slimline type drives, Sony BD-5730S and Teac DV-W28S-V93, so they won't reload without human intervention. Opsys is CentOS 5.4 or RHEL 5.4. I've tried both AMD and Intel based mother boards. If i try this on Fedora 11 or 12 it works fine. This works on IDE attached drives but not a SATA attached drives. Fedora appears to use something called genisoimage instead of mkisofs. I can't get genisoimage to run on CentOS or RHEL.
Here's the code to setup the test files:
rm -f /tmp/BDtest/*
mkdir /tmp/BDtest
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/BDtest/blank.iso bs=10M count=1
for NUM in {1..160}

I am currently in a project to set up an LTSP server with 10 thin clients. I am using Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic).
Installing server and booting clients are working fine. Now, according to the need, I have to restrict user session numbers and allow resuming previous user session.
I have achieved to do the first one, but still could not able to setup the second one. As per requirement, if some thin can have power failure, the same session should be restored back. I am confused here, if I need to focus on saving xsessions or saving gnome sessions. I am looking for a concrete solution as I am running out of time.
As said here: [URl] I want the sphere deformation, but that needs the PPA apparently (I can't find it anywhere in the default compiz Ubuntu 10.10 ships with.) Compiz starts, but it says it can't load plugin 'decoration.'
Code:
Backend : ini
Integration : true
Profile : default
Adding plugins
Initializing core options...done
Initializing move options...done
Initializing resize options...done
Initializing place options...done
compiz (core) - Error: Couldn't load plugin 'decoration'
The following message comes up when I boot up: Logging in user Warning: Cannot open ConsoleKit session: Unable to open session: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 0. When I press OK, the system completes the start up and everything looks normal. But when I try to connect to internet, I get the following message:
KNetworkManager cannot start because the installation is misconfigured. System DBUS policy does not allow it to provide user settings; contact your system administrator or distribution. KNetworkManager will not start automatically in future. If I reboot the system, I logg in successfully. So far the problem has appeared approximately upon every second time I boot up. Rebooting the system seems to take care of it.
Don't know what info is of interest. I'm using

Info about session timeout.
I use tmout = 15 min in my /etc/profile (along with readonly tmout). i have some issues i need to address, looking for ideas.
1. what is considered a idle "session" ?
2. if i & a process to the background and do nothing is this a idle session?
3. if user uses su to a higher level, are there now two sessions? is the tmout for user suspended until su user time outs or leaves su session?
4. i have some users who will run long sql queries. is there a workaround to have the session remain active until process has finished?
I do a clean install of slackware64 13.1 beta1 with KDE and switch default runlevel to 4 in /etc/inittab.

View 1 Replies View Relatedit's possible to install the most recent Flashrom (9.3) on Lucid. The problem is that in order to get the most recent you need to compile from source, however I can't seem to get all the necessary packages. With all software sources enabled, I can't find the package "pciutils-devel" in Synaptic Package Manager. Without that package I can't compile the source.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I start the X server, my touchpad works for about 5-6 seconds (I'm moving it around to test). After the X server fully loads (and all the software loads in, I presume), the touchpad mouse promptly stops working. I can no longer use the GUI because the mouse is dead.
This seems to be a software bug after the latest update. Is there any way I can regress to a previous version? Perhaps uninstall the recently updated software?
I recently built a pc to run 10.04 and EMC2 from linuxcnc.org I havent even gotten to the point of trying out EMC2 on this machine because Ubuntu runs so slow. The build spec's are as follows:
http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?inv...714-CEL24-PB-R MS-6714 mobo
Intel 2.4ghz celeron processor
2x512 PC-3200 patriot ram
using integrated graphics
40gb Maxtor IDE hd
I installed using the live CD downloaded from linuxcnc.org and Ive used that same cd multiple times so I know that's not my issue. Now to my problems. The computer runs, just very very slow. Opening 2 web pages at the same time takes 2-3 minutes, and if there is a lot of pictures or content there's no point in trying. Running EMC2 works ok, but if I open a complex program in the viewer all bets are off.
I am a big fan of avant window navigator, but I'm having trouble getting it set up all the way in natty.avant-window-navigator is in the natty repos, but there are a couple of shortcomings in the applets. - the digital clock applet is not included - the weather applet has an annoying bug (constantly announcing that there may be connectivity issues) that was fixed a long time ago. That's fine, I'll just I just install from the PPA I thought. The problem is that the applets package (awn-extras) is not in their natty repo. Does anyone know how to get awn with the most recent applets in natty?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a hardware not so popular, it's a VIA Nehemiah 1,5 Ghz i686 (a low power mobo). I've used it since many years ago.
This mobo seems to have kind of problems with new kernels. If I use the Linux 2.6.20-16-generic kernel or an older one everything is working well. But if I use a newer kernel it has a lot of problems. A lot of different problems and I tried to solve it many times but I couldn't.
For example, with the recent Ubuntu distro, the GUI freezes before starting the installation. If I install by terminal, the GUI freezes at the first start. If I install the server version of Ubuntu (or Debian) without X-server, it works for some minutes then it freezes. If I use a kernel just a bit newer (I don't remember which one... it was years ago) than 2.6.20-16-generic, it works for some hours, then it freezs. So, it is mandatory to use the kernel Linux 2.6.20-16-generic!
Years ago I installed Ubuntu (maybe 6.10) then I updated, more times, till Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS maintaining the old kernels. So now I'm running Ubuntu 8.04.4 with the 2.6.20-16-generic kernel and everything is working perfectly. Ubuntu 8.04 is fortunatly a LTS, so it will be supported till 04/2011, but I have to think about what to do after this date.
I don't remember well, but I think I've already tried to update from 8.04 to a recent Ubuntu (without jumping any version), maintaining my old working kernel, but I had some problems... I'm not sure, maybe will try again.
Anyway the question is: how install a recent Ubuntu (let's say 10.04) with the 2.6.20-16-generic kernel?
Possible solution:
1) Install Ubuntu 10.04 with an option which specify to use this old kernel. But I really don't know how to do it.
2) Try to install Ubuntu 10.04 with just basic service, eg. without GUI and networking. Then install (or compile and install) the old kernel there. Or compile it in another computer and then install it there.
The problem is that I had a lot of problems compiling that kernel (I tried on a Ubuntu 9.10 in a virtual machine) and i couldn't complete the compilation.
Anyway, let's forget for one moment about compilation, can I extract my current kernel from my working system and then install it on the new Ubuntu 10.04 (with basic service)?
After not having used Ubuntu for a few months now, I want to make up a new LiveCD and possibly a bootable USB. The times I have done this in the past, the installations don't include recent updates which need to be downloaded and installed once the system is running. (Understandably)
Two questions:
1) Does Ubuntu update the downloadable ISO periodically to include recent updates?
...for example: Now that it is January (ie. some 3 months after release of Karmic in October '09 and some 200-300Meg+ of updates required since that time), will I be downloading an ISO from Ubuntu that has recent updates already as part of it, or will it still require updates to be downloaded and installed once Ubuntu is running on the computer?
2) If the downloadable ISO has not been updated since Oct '09, is there a way of making a LiveCD/bootable USB that has up-to-date updates already installed? (if you know what I mean?) ....and is this process relatively simple?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I installed lucid, I opted not to install GRUB as I leave that job to a small 'rescue' Arch Linux install somewhere else on the drive. However, some recent upgrade (I'm having difficulty figuring out which one exactly) claims to require the packages 'grub-pc' and 'grub-common'.
I'm not sure but surely this is a mistake. Right? And if so, what are my options? Does installing the packages automatically install grub (ubuntu-grub, that is) to the (insert word for that first part of the HD where the bootloader resides....?) Or will I have to manually tweak the package installation to avoid installing?

I've just upgraded to 64-bit Lucid and then tried to access the BBC iplayer. I got a message saying I needed a newer version of Flash, so I followed the link provided to the Adobe web site. However, there doesn't seem to be a 64-bit version available from there.
I'm sure I'm not the first person to have had this problem, but I couldn't find an obvious thread on it among the many flash-related ones, so how do I get a recent version of Flash installed in 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04? Have Adobe stopped creating 64-bit versions, or do they just not do a good job of identifying the architecture?
