Ubuntu :: Does Empathy IRC Have 'persistent' Setting?

Jun 13, 2010

I was able to check a box that would keep me logged in to an irc chatroom, even when the dialogue was closed. With lucid, I'm trying to find a similar setting for Empathy.Right now, whenever I close the window, it appears I quit that chatroom.

Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Log On To Default User On Persistent 10.10 After Setting Password?

Dec 29, 2010

After setting up a persistent Lubuntu (10.10) on a 4GB SD with Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.1.8 , I started changing the passwd of the original user ubuntu , but after rebooting, I can't log in. So I resorted to hitting Ctrl+the function key that gives you a CLI, and changed the password for "ubuntu" user then tried to log on again. No success.Then I created a new user with a password, and managed to log in with this user, but it is not the same experience, the menus are lacking, and it is not possible to log on to wifi, similar problem to this user

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Unable To Make Monitor Setting Persistent?

Mar 8, 2011

My system boots in 1024x768 screen resolution. I'd like to change it to 1280x1024 for all users. I can change the setting to 1280x1024 and it's persistent between sessions, but is reset back to 1024x768 on reboot. In the old days, I used to edit xorg.conf to set the the mode I want, but now there's no xorg.conf. I created one using

xorg -configure

but this created an xorg.conf which has no modeline settings at all. The file just looks like a template. Here's what I got:

Quote:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"

[Code].....

Debian Hardware :: Persistent Hdparm Setting After Wake From Sleep

Jan 26, 2016

I have set up a hdparm configuration file ( /etc/udev/rules.d/50-hdparm.rules ) with :

Code: Select allACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="sda", RUN+="/usr/bin/hdparm -B 255 -S 0 /dev/sda" .

This works correct when I power on my system, however after waking my computer from sleep mode , /dev/sda appears to operate with APM .

Is there a way I can make this setting to be persistent ,i.e. APM disabled when waking up from sleep mode?

I am running Debian Jessie x64.

Installation :: Run Persistent Ubuntu From USB?

Jan 5, 2010

I am currently running Windows 7 and would like to "play around" with Linux and learn how to use it, but am not willing to entirely "jump ship: as of yet. Thus, I would like to be able to use my USB key (32 gig) that is persistent. I have had no success in being able to get this to work; I went to http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ and attempted several different times and the only one I could get to work was not persistent.

Ubuntu Installation :: Persistent USB Usage

May 28, 2010

I would like to know if I can update a live USB version of 10.04I am, unofficially, running ubuntu 10.04 live USB version from a partition on my 250GB USB HDD at work.All the apps I use are web bassed except for zeacom and groupwise which I run from a virtual machine I created using virtualbox ose, this machine is one the network running AD and novel and also MS office and uniflow printing

Everything at the moment is running quite well: I tried this a while ago (9.04 or earlier) but I tried enabling update manager and this killed the boot for my live USB and I don't what to risk toying with a system that is running well but I also want to be up to date.

Ubuntu :: Persistent Changes To Gnome Menu

Jul 6, 2010

I'm trying to figure out how to make persistent changes to the Gnome menu. I know I can make user-specific changes, as defined by Alacarte, but that's not what I need for this machine. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome 2.30.2.

Per freedesktop.org specs I created an entry for a new sub-menu under Applications called Social Networking. I simply copied an existing menu entry and made the appropriate changes.
For example:
<!-- Social Networking -->
<Menu>
<Name>Social</Name>
<Directory>Social-Networking.directory</Directory>
<Include>
<And>
<Category>Social</Category>
</And>
</Include>
</Menu>

Next I created a .desktop file in /usr/share/desktop-directories/ called Social-Networking directory.
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Social
Comment=Social Networking Applications and Utilities
Icon=preferences-system-network
Type=Directory
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=gnome-menus

Now, I'm stuck. I can't seem to figure out how to make an application's menu appear in the Social Networking sub-menu. For that matter, I can't even get the Social Networking sub-menu to appear under Applications. I assuming it will appear once I "associate" an applications's menu to the sub-menu, but I'm only guessing right now. I've logged out and back in; I even restarted my machine. Though I am not new to Linux, I am new to Ubuntu and Gnome.

Ubuntu Networking :: Routes Are Not Persistent

I have a ubuntu 10.04.1 install with openvpn, so I have some routes in my /etc/networking/interface file. But for what ever reason when it boots the routes don't come up and I have to restart the networking before they come up. Once I do that all is well. Any idea's why it's doing that?

Ubuntu :: How To Create Persistent Live USB

Dec 31, 2010

I'm attempting to create a persistent live USB. My flash drive is 32 GB, so I plan on creating a 8 or 16 GB ext casper-rw partition for my persistence (as described here.) I would like to have the remainder of the space available as an NTFS partition. However, most of what I'm reading indicates that only FAT32 is possible for a bootable Ubuntu USB.

I've been told that if I simply installed to USB drive as if it were a regular old HDD, it would be bootable and I could simply format the rest as NTFS. I'm wondering if this is true and why all these utilities I've found (Linux Live USB Creator, Universal USB Installer, etc...) insist on FAT32. Persistent (>4GB) bootable usb, with the rest of it a windows-recognizable NTFS partition?

Ubuntu :: SSH Or VPN For Persistent Tunneling Of All LAN Traffic From Router?

Mar 23, 2010

I am currently setting up a old box to serve as a general, quality router/fileserver that should give me fine control over my network traffic. This router will serve as the bridge between several local users and the Internet, along with quite a few machines.Traffic is expected to be heavy, in the sense of multiple powerusers using the Internet to the fullest, not from one machine doing anything insane like Torrenting. The connection profile will reflects lots of up and down, not necessarily a huge number of persistent connections.Due to security concerns, the need to build an encrypted tunnel between a SoHo LAN and a dedicated server is unescapable. I'm trying to determine whether I can pull this off with a simple SSH tunnel on the box serving as the local router, or if a VPN (either PPTP or L2TP) is a more appropriate solution.Proxying won't work, because not all apps can easily be socksified across the Windows, GNU/Linux, and OSX platforms that the users will need. For this reason, I have to pull this off strictly at the router level.

I'm not all that familiar with the specific details of each protocol's performance as far as their latency, efficiency, overhead, and fault-tolerance are concerned. I'm less concerned with a protocol taking up CPU as I am with useless bytes and latency it might be introducing to the link. I don't know the low-level nitty gritty of how each protocol encapsulates its traffic.If there is an existing package for this, it would be great, but at this point I'm simply trying to figure out which protocol is more appropriate before I begin digging in the wrong direction. The biggest concern, of course, is that the chosen protocol aggressively re-establish sessions should the connection suddenly drop, which will be a concern given the SoHo line I'll have to work with. The actual outbound server is no concern, as it has four cores and a Gbps line.

Ubuntu :: How To Make Time & Date Persistent

Aug 26, 2010

I've noticed that every time this desktop is turned on the date & time are as they were the last time I used it, and then have to put in the correct date & time again (this is why I chose the word 'persistent' within the tittle). When I try to change those have to write in the password for the date as well as for the time as if 'login-in' once were not enough! What I want to know is how to put in the date & time and receive the correct amounts the next time I turn the unit on again, as it should be? Do I've to open a terminal & do it with administrator's authority/credentials?

Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Create Persistent Live Usb Of 11.04

Apr 1, 2011

I have tried to create a persistent live usb thumb drive using Startup Disk Creator, but have not had any luck. I have tried running Startup Disk Creator from Linux Mint 9 xfce (currently installed on my machine) as well as from live sessions of ubuntu 11.04 Beta1 and xubuntu 11.04 Beta1. When using Startup Disk Creator in Linux Mint, I am able to set the slider to choose how much reserved space I want, but when I reboot, the USB stick does not load, I get an error message about an unknown name in the file. When using the live sessions of ubuntu or xubuntu, the section with the slider to choose how much of the usb stick to devote to the persistence file is greyed out. I get the same result whether I choose the xubuntu iso or the ubuntu iso as the source disc image. I have used the same USB stick and Startup Disk Creator to make persistent live installs before - is there something about 11.04 that does not allow persistence?

General :: Ubuntu NR - Install Vs Live-persistent

Nov 11, 2010

I have an old EeePC 701 4G netbook that I'm about to reconfigure for a friend who needs it to read PDF files, surf the net occasionally and do few other things. I'm going to install Ubuntu Netbook Remix, version 10.4.

Now, the 701 only has four gigabytes of internal storage, and I'm unwilling to spend money on it to expand its memory. When installed UNR takes up about 2.3 gigabytes, which leaves a bit more than a gig available for user data, and that's not much at all.

However, I could copy the live files off the memory stick in the main drive and use the remaining space for a casper-rw partition. Then it'd be only a matter of editing the bootloader in order to have a system that saves changes. This way I could fit the system on only 700 megabytes.

My question is: is there any drawback to running a persistent live off the main drive as the operating system? Something that would make me prefer eating up two thirds of the drive with the system, rather than just a fifth of it?

I imagine upgrades would eventually take up a lot of space, as they'd essentially copy a lot of the system in the live partition, but this is easily solvable by not performing them. I don't think the intended user would miss them, since she'll only really need three or four apps.

General :: Ubuntu Live-cd Persistent And Also Read-only?

Mar 18, 2010

I have already a ubuntu live-cd running with persistency on a USB stick but I would also want to be able to launch it, loading all the saved preferences in the casper-rw partition, but without any modifications on those settings.The idea is to have on the start menu 2 options:1- start ubuntu saving changes (on the persistent partition)2- start ubuntu not saving changes (not persistent, but loading the previously changed settings)This way, I could save preferences incrementaly, but only when I opted for the option 1.

Ubuntu :: Video Projects On 3TB USB Drive - Persistent Rsync?

May 30, 2010

I have a slow 3TB usb drive that I keep my video projects on, but when I'm working on a project I want to have the files on my main HD so that the video editing is less painful. So here is my question: is there a way to have a folder on my main computer that syncs files *as they are needed* to my main drive, then when they are edited sync them to the USB drive again?

So if I have a folder with 100 clips on my USB drive, can I sync just the directory listings to the local folder, then when I add a video to my project file and it is read by the video editing software, then just that file is synced to my local folder? Then, when I close the terminal with this app running, or some other signal the local folder is destroyed (all of the files are synced to the USB drive once they are changed).

Ubuntu :: Lost Persistent Home Media In Live?

I wanted to be able to access the 24 gig partition from XP.I installed a persistent 10.04 on the 8 gig partition.All ran well for about 3 weeks. Today during boot up I noticed that it had stalled at "creating live session user". I left it there for several minutes and then powered down to retry.Several attempts to boot left me at the same spot.I looked at the boot up messages and noticed this error... "unable to find persistent home media".I don't have a ton of save info on the live user account but I would like to be able to fix this type of problem.

Ubuntu :: NumLock Pad Stopped Working - Preference Not Persistent

Dec 17, 2010

I have an HP laptop with a separate numlock keypad. About six months ago, I noticed the number keys were not pressing numbers. I eventually googled it and found that there's a setting in Ubuntu to set the numlock keys as cursor movement.

System > Preferences > Keyboard Preferences > Mouse Keys > DESELECT "Pointer Can Be Controlled Using the Keypad"

I did this and the numlock keys worked. However, a few reboots later I noticed the behavior was back. Again I googled and deselected the checkbox. I noticed again today that this unwanted behavior has returned. Why aren't my preferences persistent?
