Jul 26, 2011I have an 10.10 Maverick Ubuntu, and I've tried to update it to Natty version, but when I try it says to I check my connection with Internet and then close the update app, but my connection is fine, I think this could be something related to the host, since when I try to use sudo or play Frets on Fire it says that they "couldn't resolve the host".

Ubuntu Multimedia :: No Encrypted DVD Playback In Maverick Or Natty?
Jun 16, 2011this is on three separate laptops; an HP Pavilion 4120se, a Sony Vaio VGN-S5XP and a Dell Studio XPS1340. All are showing the same symptoms, though the first two are running 10.10 and the last is dual-boot Win7Pro and Natty 64-bit. All are UK models with a Region 2 restriction. The dual boot machine will run all legal movie DVDs perfectly under Windows 7 Professional. All three installations will run educational and similar DVDs. On all 3, Medibuntu repo is enabled, Ubuntu Restricted Extras are installed, as is libdvdcss2 and libdvdread4 (if those 2 can co-exist!). I'm using Movie Player and VLC.
I have tried UK retail commercial Region 2 movie DVDs, foreign region-free movie DVDs, Chinese pirate movie DVDs. None work. However, Licklibrary guitar instructional DVDs work fine - so the drives are OK! I've tried the oldest movie DVDs I have, and the same result. MP in Maverick tells me, "Could not read from resource" (VLC just does nothing!), and in Natty it says, "Could not read DVD. This may be because the DVD is encrypted and a DVD decryption library is not installed".
I have read as much as I can of the sticky above, and searched through every 'can't play DVDs' thread - hence the installation of all the above-mentioned software, codecs and libraries, all to no avail. Is it simply that the lack of commercial kick-backs from open-source software means Linux users will not be allowed to view movie content, or is there something fundamental I'm missing?
Ubuntu :: Upgraded From Maverick To The Natty Beta - Unable To Boot
Apr 8, 2011I upgraded from Maverick to the Natty beta a little while ago. It all worked fine for a couple of weeks. Then, this morning, I was unable to boot. I got to GRUB, picked the first option and it went to the Ubuntu 11.04 with the dots, then returned this:
Code:

Ubuntu Installation :: Why Is Natty Minimal Install So Much Bigger Than On Maverick?
May 25, 2011I have a couple of 64bit Maverick installs from the minimal CD.They each have about 1100 packages installed. When I started to upgrade one to Natty with the Upgrade Manager, it told me it wanted to install 205 new packages (along with upgrading 877).205 new packages seems like a lot of growth in the minimal install.Why do I need those 205 packages?Then I looked at the minimal CD page where I saw that the minimal CD itself (which has lists of packages not the packages) grew from 15.6 to 22MB.So, did the minimal install just bloat up with Natty or what? Is there an even-more-minimal install?

Ubuntu Servers :: Upgraded From Maverick To Natty - Installed Unwanted Extra Packages
Apr 30, 2011I upgraded my dedicated server using the do-release-upgrade command, and it seems to have installed many extra packages I do not require. This is a headless server in a datacentre, yet the upgrade caused me to install GUI packages I do not need. Is there a way to quickly remove all but the default server packages?

Apr 3, 2010Seen as my ATI driver doesn't support Ubuntu 9.10 and neither does LinuxMCE [my two biggest bug bears at the moment] I am considering downgrading to Ubuntu 8.10.
I just wondered if there were any major differences or if I am likely to see any major issues because of things that were fixed or added to 9.10 that weren't available in 8.10.
Ubuntu :: Differences Between Gnome And KDE?
Aug 4, 2010I've seen in the forums people prefer or dislike Gnome/KDE. I looked around and the differences seem to be cosmetic and not that complicated. Are there any differences "under the hood"? What I mean by this is maybe the way programs behave, user options, etc. or is it all cosmetic?
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Differences 10.10 VS 10.4?
Sep 23, 2010I am not having a problem but I was just wondering, now that 10.10 launch is coming nearer, whether or not to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10. 10.4 is working fine and the only real reason for me to upgrade would be a better boot time (is there a better boot time with 10.10?) ... or am I missing an other important reason?
View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Differences Between Netbook And Desktop
Feb 13, 2010what the actual differences are between the different versions?Is it simply in the interface or does netbook have different services running by default, different hardware detection or anything else that makes the system run any differently? I know netbook doesn't have compiz installed by default but is the rest of the package set the same? I ask because I have been having various problems with boot and audio along with a few other niggles. I was running the desktop edition through the betas and the RC with no problems at all but I installed lucid final from a netbook edition iso and have done two more fresh installs from netbook iso and seem to be having a lot more issues.

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: (10.10) Differences In Font Rendering Between Qt And Gtk?
Mar 7, 2011I've got a slight problem here, and have had it for a while: When I use the "Sharp'N'Clear" .fonts.conf from Here, and set an optimized font like Arial, gtk-based applications render correctly, while Qt-based ones don't As you can see, the top window(Firefox) has it's fonts clean and nice. The bottom one(Dolphin) does not. Both are set to Arial 9. I've tried it with a number of different applications, including some custom PyQt4 stuff, and it's clear that it's -all- Qt-based applications and not just one or two.
For further information, I've had this problem ever since I upgraded from Kubuntu 9.10 a while back - That version worked correctly on both Qt and gtk, but nothing since has.

May 24, 2010how do I get compose keys to work the same in qt, x apps like xterm, and gtk apps ? -- seems like a simple enough question right? it's not.I followed the instructions here: eKey and that worked, sort of. but I notice some differences. gnome and gtk apps get a different set of compose keys than qt and apps like xedit, xterm, etc. After finding that first wiki page and going through it I foundwhat appears to happen is that, however xim actually returns compose keys to gnome, gnome behaves as if:
1. it first reads the /usr/share/X11/locale/compose.dir and finds the compose file for you locale.
2. it loads those compose key definitions.
3. it loads and overwrites previous definitions with ~/.XCompose definitions, but

Ubuntu Servers :: Differences Between Diagnose & Desktop?
Jun 26, 2010I am struggling to get my wireless usb working on a fresh installation of Ubuntu Server 10.04, but it works just fine on a fresh install of Ubuntu Desktop 10.04. So I am trying to work out what's causing the discrepancy. I know the Server version is a "minimal install" of Ubuntu, so something must be missing that affects its overall abilities.
I am planning to compare the file system of a totally fresh Desktop version with a Server version - and would appreciate as much additional brain-power as possible to assist in the plan/execution of what I should be comparing. I hope this will throw up a solution as to what is NOT installed/configured on the Server version that prevents my wireless from working. [It will teach me a lot as well ] COMPARISON PLANAll programs installed on both file systems (looking for differences) Program differences which affect network setup and related hardware (I'm not sure of what this list should have on it) Related configuration files which might affect connectivity (same here - not sure what configures what at this stage)
* Do $lsmod to look for installed wireless drivers Miscellaneous tests
* Disable security on wireless router to see if security config is the cause I'm not sure if the kernel build will be different and if so how to establish this... but somehow wonder if this affects the outcome
If anyone is willing to assist in filling out the gaps in this plan I would really appreciate it. Or maybe there is a better way?

Jun 24, 2011I have a proprietary device - something like an iPad screen - which has a front panel display with touchscreen buttons that work internally as a USB keyboard. During testing/debugging I want to connect it to another keyboard via the external USB port.Any application which I open on the device by pressing some characters on the touchscreen accepts input codes from either USB keyboard. I want to limit the touchscreen USB keyboard input only to a specific set of apps.Is there a program which can help me detect which USB port or device the code is coming from? Or someway I can map one keyboard to send a different set of codes? The device is using Linux.

View 8 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Differences Between XFree86 And KDE?
Oct 7, 2009My old Intrepid box got old and senile in the hardware, so I had to take it back round the shed and put her down.I buried her next to her favorite tree in the backyard. So yes, I got this new Mini ITX setup with a dual core Atom processor and 4 gigs of ram for my new computer. I'm going to use it as a media center in my living room. However Atom 1.6 ghz is no screamer so I'd like to build a system using a light weight operating environment to leave more power for running programs and playing my media.
I could install the latest version of Kubuntu again but I thought this time I'd try to get a bit deeper into Linux and educate myself. Could someone clarify the differences between XFree86, Window Manager, and a Desktop Environment (KDE/GNOME/etc)? I know it goes like Hardware -> XServer -> XFree86 -> Window Manager (I read the tutorial on linux.org). But where does KDE or a "Desktop Environment" come in? Is KDE a decked out window manager with its own programs that runs on top of XFree86 or what? Or does it totally replace XFree86?
