Ubuntu :: Dashboard Labels Appear Scrambled

May 5, 2011

I just upgraded to Ubutntu 11.04 64 bit, using the default Unity setup. Everything seems to work fine apart from labels on the dashboard, about half of them appear scrambled. When I press the Ubutnu icon on the top left some of the text is also scrambled. I have an integrated Intel graphics card.

Ubuntu :: Can't Type In Dashboard Search On First Load

Jul 1, 2011

I was wondering if anyone knows why I can't type in the search area in Dashboard search? It feels like it hangs or freezes when I try to load it for the first time during the day, icon shortcuts are also unclickable. I thought it was my keyboard, so I checked if I can type in other programs while Dash stayed open and I can so it's not my keyboard. This problem seems to go away if I exit Dash and try again, but returns maybe an hour later. I think it showed up when I installed Compiz and made a few adjustments.

General :: Physically Adjust Position Of Dashboard?

May 29, 2011

I'm new to the Linux OS, and this is also my first post on this form. My question is Can you physically adjust the position of the dashboard? I'm familiar with Mac OS X where you could "Physically" adjust to the top, left, right or originally at the bottom. Is it possible and if it is, can someone explain to me the process on going about that?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Ogv And Mp4 Video Playback Looks Scrambled?

Apr 8, 2011

Both MP4 and OGV playback completely weird on my Ubuntu 10.04.2 laptop:

The resolution/length/etc is correct, but the picture is all weird. Webm doesn't work at all.

I tried mplayer, kmplayer, smplayer, gxine, totem and kplayer. All the same.

However, the exact same video's play back normally in HTML5 pages with a bunch of browsers on the same machine. They also play back normally on a Windows machine. There is no DRM involved.

Aren't these gstreamer en mplayer based players supposed to handle this correctly?

This is an Intel Core i3 machine with Intel HD graphics.

Ubuntu :: Xubuntu Scrambled Screen After Compositing Turned On

Apr 28, 2010

I turned on screen compositing in xubuntu 9.1 and that scrambled the screen and now I can't read the screen. How do I undo that change? If I alt-ctr-F2 that goes to the command line. Then restartx goes back to the scrambled screen. Why does xubuntu recovery mode not offer any option to redo the video. Sorry, I assumed Xubuntu would ask for a confirmation like 'click yes if you can still see the screen' before allowing a change that can toast the system.

Also I tried:

metacity --replace returns Window manager error: Unable to open X display

xfwm4 --replace returns (xfwm4:145: Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display

General :: User And Group Ids Scrambled When Using NFS?

Jul 11, 2011

I'm using nfs to mount the folder /mirror from a server onto a node.

This works, except on the node the user and group are displayed as "4294967294".

On the server: ls -al ./ displays

-rw-r--r-- 1 cu cu 0 2011-07-11 15:08 test1
-rw-r--r-- 1 cu cu 0 2011-07-11 15:08 test2

whereas on the node

-rw-r--r-- 1 4294967294 4294967294 0 2011-07-11 15:08 test1
-rw-r--r-- 1 4294967294 4294967294 0 2011-07-11 15:08 test2

I have usermod and groupmod the username cu to have the same numbers on the node.

On the server: id displays

uid=1021(cu) gid=1007(cu) groups=1007(cu),109(admin)

on the node

uid=1021(cu) gid=1007(cu) groups=1007(cu)

I'm stumpeed as to what the problem could be.

I should perhaps add that the home directory is /mirror/cu (so that the users share the same account when mounted). Not sure if thats relevent though...

My /etc/exports file (on the server) looks like this

/mirror *(rw,sync)

and I do the mount (on the node) with

sudo mount server:/mirror /mirror

Ubuntu :: Graphics - Go To The Desktop Login Screen The Video Goes Completely Scrambled

May 14, 2010

I have an Artigo A1100 which has the Chrome9 video. When I boot up the system on the Artigo I see the initial boot sequence, the Ubuntu logo and then when it is about to go to the desktop login screen the video goes completely scrambled. I can type in my login and password and I see the screen change as if it has logged in, but it is completely scrambled.

It almost reminds me of the problems old tv's had when the screen would start flipping because it wasn't dialed in just right. If I hit ALT+CTRL+F1 it will go to the command line interface and everything looks fine. it is the newest release of Ubuntu I downloaded yesterday and I know it works because I installed to a USB drive and everything works just fine when I boot off the drive using another computer of mine.

Ubuntu :: No Labels In Cairo Dock?

Ubuntu Networking :: How To Assign Labels With Ip / Ifconfig

Oct 19, 2010

I am trying to manually set up a number of static IPv6 addresses to one of the physical network interfaces on my 8.04server box.

I tried to use the "ip" utility like that:/ip addr add [myIPv6addr] dev eth0 label eth0:0

which was accepted by ip (no errors) and the IP address was correctly assigned to eth0. But using "ip addr show" I do not see any reference to the label I defined and "ip addr show dev eth0 label eth0:0" does not come back with anything (empty output).

This seems to contradict the information I found on the ip manpage and I wonder if this is a bug or a misconfiguration on my side. Did anyone successfully used the label functionality with ip?

Software :: Using Labels In Grub2 ?

Jul 12, 2010

I want to generate a grub.conf that will search for my /dev/sda1 based on the filesystem label, not the UUID.

I did change /etc/default/grub to so that GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID="true" and I regenerated grub.cfg.

But I want to go one step further and change the search statements. I notice they still reference the old UUID. I also know grub2 can search by label.

I could use understanding this page: [url]

Quote:

I'd like my grub.cfg to contain statements similar to this:

Code:

Assuming that's the right syntax, how do I make grub2 generate label-based menu entries like that?

Hardware :: Ink Printed CD Labels - Bad For The Computer?

Jun 24, 2010

I recently ordered some custom CDs from a local shop. I sent them the ISOs for Debian and a large colorful PNG graphic for the label. They used an inkjet printer to print the label onto some special CDs. A few hours later, I noticed that the red ink transfered to my fingers when I picked up the CD. Previously, I printed some disks with blue, purple, and yellow, but found no such problem.

I wonder if could be damaging to the computer, ie. lots of little paint flakes coming off inside the computer while the CD drive is spinning and heating up?

Ubuntu Servers :: OS Drive /dev/sda Changed Labels With Raid5 Disk /dev/sdc?

Jun 25, 2011

My original config:

**Partition/Drive info**

/dev/sda Boot----------> 298.09 GB Hitachi HDT72503
20GB /
16GB /swap
50GB /var

[code]....

1. For some odd reason I tried connecting to a samba share as I had it setup and I could not.

2. Looked at webmin and it said my whole /dev/md0 RAID5 was being used..about 7.8TBs. decided to check my RAID5 setup and drives and noticed

**NEW Partition/Drive info**

/dev/sda Raid Array 1 1.82 TB SAMSUNG HD204UI
/dev/sdb Raid Array 1 1.82 TB SAMSUNG HD204UI
/dev/sdc1 /

[code]....

I didn't connect any new drives or anything. I had checked my "mdadm.conf" and "fstab" and everything looked the same?

Debian Configuration :: Hdd Dev Letters - UUID And Labels ?

Jun 30, 2011

I have a debian 6 system in my basement acting as a media server. Debian is on a separate HDD from the raid drives and there is one external drive. Under normal conditions the Debian HDD shows up as /dev/sdk and the external shows up as /dev/sdl, no problems here because I use UUID for mounting. The problem is sometimes this drive isn't picked up on restarts (its old and I think the issue is the power supply in the base of it, to be solved later) . This wouldn't be a problem but it some how shuffles the drive addresses and the Debian HDD becomes /dev/sde, this in turn messes up a script that does a weekly dd of that hard drive. I am only really worried about this for when I go on vacation and I wont be at home if the power goes out.

So, is there a way to address the entire hard drive (not just a partition) other than the dev file? Why did this change from Debian 5 to 6? I never had this problem before with 5.

In case you are wondering, I find it easier recover from an image rather than do a reinstall, then get all the updates and software, then put in all the backed up files.

General :: Create RAID1 Array With Given/fix HD Labels?

Aug 19, 2010

I have two HDs (let's say sda and sdb). Both are the same size and have the same partitions already (sda1/sda2/sda3 and sdb1/sdb2/sdb3). Basically they are ready to make a RAID1 array.

Writing with new udev rules, I could create and give fix HD labels with /sbin/scsi_id.

Example: For sdb1 I have a fix device name created under /dev as hd2_boot1, for sdb2 I have /dev/hd2_boot2 and finally for sdb3 I have created the device /dev/hd2_boot3.

With using the command "mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 ....", I could create a RAID array.

But, when I check the status one of the RAID devices, like with the command "mdadm --detail /dev/md2", it still shows me as part of the RAID array the sdb* devices, not the hd2_boot* devices. Something like this:

I would like to see basically as member or the RAID array always the /dev/hd2_boot3 not the /dev/sdb3 (like above), is this possible?

Bottom line, I would like to keep the order of the RAID arrays depending their scsi ids, not depending their scsi numberings which is given by the kernel, since the scsi numberings (sda, sdb, sdc and etc.) can change depending the physical connection.

Slackware :: Booting A USB Stick With GRUB2 And Labels

Feb 14, 2011

Here's the idea -- be able to boot slackware 13.1 DVD from a USB stick, but without using anything like an initrd or loading the contents of the slackware install all into memory first. So the USB stick is behaving like a hard drive (but with one disadvantage, just don't take the usb stick out while you're using it!). It has the advantage of saving on memory though .

In the above thread I had this idea working ok but only with slackware 13 and earlier. In fact I still have the CF card with it on, and it works fine. Only snag is it won't work with the newer 13.1.

Right now, I'm trying to use qemu for the following (not what I wrote above!). The idea is to use qemu to install a minimum slackware 13.1 to the USB stick, set it up and then boot from the USB stick itself (so I'm using the USB stick as the storage medium as opposed to say a hard drive image file).

So let's say (this is what I'm doing) I boot slackware 13.1 (32 bit) and make two partitions;

Code:

I then do a minimal installation of slackware (just "A" and jed from "AP"). Lilo is not installed as later I'll be using GRUB2 to try to boot.

I'm using a slackware package, grub-1.97-beta4-i486-1.tgz for slackware 13.1/GRUB2.

I then boot off the slackware 13.1 DVD but at the boot screen I choose to boot from /dev/sda2 which is the linux install I created earlier. Success, it boots ok and I can get into the slackware 13.1 install on the USB disk (which is /dev/sda2).

I then label the ext3 partition by using e2label;

Code:

And also change /etc/fstab;

Code:

Now I need some sort of bootloader to put onto the USB stick so I don't need the DVD any more. To do this, I'm trying to use GRUB2.

But here's the problem!

When I install slackware onto the USB stick using qemu, that partition is /dev/sda2. It's the first usb/storage medium that slackware detects so it gets the name sdaX. (X=1, fat partition, X=2 EXT3 linux).

But here's the problem. Suppose I take the USB stick over to another PC with a hard drive already inside it. Slackware would see the hard drive installed in that PC as (say) /dev/sda1 and the USB stick would then become the second drive, so /dev/sdbX (X=1, fat partition, X=2 EXT3 linux).

If I specify a specific device (lets say /dev/sda2) then it won't work in another system because if I take the example above, another PC with a hard drive installed in it the USB stick becomes /dev/sdb2 and the GRUB2 boot program would be expecting /dev/sda2 which won't work. What I need to do is to somehow find the install, the root on the USB stick automatically without having to specify it manually.

So here's what I've tried with grub (First thing I did was to install grub with grub-install /dev/sda).

Code:

Snag is it dosen't work :-( I get this booting from the USB stick:

Code:

If I try this:

Code:

I get a very similar result ....

Code:

So what I'm wondering is .... if the "search" line in grub is doing the searching for the root GRUB2 needs to use to boot from - how can I tell the next line, "linux /boot/vmlinuz-huge-smp-2.6.33.4-smp root=...." where to boot from? I can't use /dev/sda2 or /dev/sdb2 because if I try the usb stick in a different PC the stick will be a different device name. Trying to use LABEL= or /dev/disk/by-label/USB/ also dosen't work .
