Ubuntu :: Easy Way To Modify Or Add Additional Choices To List?
Apr 8, 2010
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10. I would like to specify that the computer get's put to sleep, after being inactive for 4 hours. The choices on the drop down are 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours and never.Is there an easy way to modify or add additional choices to the list? This would allow me to easily switch between them, if necessary.If not, what would I need to modify behind the scenes, to set this value to 4 hours?

I wondered if there was a way in Fedora (I'm running 12) to rename Firefox search plugins as they appear in the search bar's dropdown list.

I've got an amazon EC2 instance running Natty 11.04. I want to harden this server and make sure it's very secure as I ultimately will be handling sensitive data. I'm wondering what should be in /etc/apt/sources.list. Can anyone comment on these contents? Or, better yet, recommend a good secure sources.list file?

When I double click on the script nothing happens. If t try to run it through terminal, it runs ok. In the Previous Ubuntu version (10.04) when I double-clicked a script it popped up some choices. Run in terminal, display, etc. That does not happen now.

When I boot from the CD I don't get the normal choices to install. The only 2 choices I get are;
"Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer" and
"Live-Install"
I click on Live-install, and I get a boot loader box that has live-install in it and a OK click box i click ok and nothing happens.

What experience do you guys have with builds like this?

I'm looking for some simple to use photo editing software for KDE. I don't really need the GIMP. I just want to do some simple auto-enhancement, rotating, and resizing. Pretty simple stuff. I'm trying to install Shotwell right now. I've used it on Gnome installs, (Ubuntu refugee), but I was wondering if there is a similar native KDE application.

I have a machine with 2 hard drives, one with Vista installed and the other empty, ready to host an Ubuntu installation. I want my system to dual boot. When I boot via the Ubuntu 10.10 CD I am presented with two choices : install Linux to SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) using the entire disk, or to SCSI2 (0,0,0) (sdb) with 50% of the disk designated as Files and the other 50% designated as Ubuntu. Which one do I choose?

I have noticed when using Synaptic the user can point the search function to "Look In" description && name, dependencies, version etc. Can I search through a particular Section? E.g. I want to filter out all results from all sections except System Administration...
P.S. searching LQ reveals the nearest newest post, that may have never been resolved.

I can not get Guidance to remember my choices past the first suspend. I open Guidance from the battery icon on my screen and select "Suspend" from the "lid closed" option list. I click OK (or apply then OK) and my choice is remember right until I close the lid and restart. If I don't go through the process again random events occur when I resume the second time. I am a member of the power group, this was working perfectly on 4.4.2 and previous. Is there a text file I can edit to fix this properly instead of all the clicky-clicky I'm not listening nonsense?

Although I use Slackware for many years I never understood something. During the creation of partitions, using cfdisk, there are 2 choices. "Beginning" and "End". What's the difference between these two choices? Does this have to do with older Lilo versions?

New to Debian I installed ABCDE for ripping my CDs. My question is stupid but I could not sort this situation even going through the web or documentation. It works fine now BUT... when ABCDE retrieve multiple playlists (#1, #2, #3, etc.) it show them then ends with (END) blinking at the bottom of the terminal. If I make a RETURN I get nothing. If I type EXIT it shows "No next tag (press RETURN)" but RETURN has no effect !
When there is only ONE playlist (or no playlist available to retrieve) it works really fine.ce.

I was wondering if it were possible to have a dual boot system (XP and Debian) where when you press, say F7, you will boot into windows or if your press F6 you will boot into Linux. I have a monitor that doesn't support the initial start-up graphics

It's easy to find how to add more choices for the Nautilus contextual menu (with nautilus-actions or nautilus-scripts) but my problem is different: I want to remove some choices! I use Squeeze and when I right-clic on a file there is a lot of clutter in the contextual menu. I want to remove some of these choices (send the file to someone, sign this file, encrypt this file, etc).

I have an HP Pavilion dv7-1243cl laptop. It has an internal wifi that works ok at home but when I'm traveling I stay at RV Campgrounds the wifi signal gets pretty weak. So I Installed an external antenna.(ALFA model AWUS036H). The signal gets a full 5 bars.
Now the problem. I dual boot OS11.3 and Windows 7 pro. Everything works as expected on MS. When In boot to OS11.3 I can only connect to the internal antenna. (real spotty). If I turn off the internal antenna I can't connect to the external one. Knetwork manager show/detects and shows the strength of both of the signals only when the internal is on. On MS7 I can turn off the internal and it will connect to the external one with no problem. Is there anyway to get OS to allow me to connect to my choice of antenna? I've been into manage connections and selected wlan1 (external). no joy.

Currently we use an iSCSI SAN as storage for several VMware ESXi servers. I am investigating the use of an NFS target on a Linux server for additional virtual machines. I am also open to the idea of using an alternative operating system (like OpenSolaris) if it will provide significant advantages.What Linux-based filesystem favours very large contiguous files (like VMware's disk images)? Alternatively, how have people found ZFS on OpenSolaris for this kind of workload?

I ought to understand the radio aspects of wifi better than I do. That said, is there a bad-good-best choice for wifi access point channel number? How does one select a channel number systematically (scientifically) rather than trial and error?

I don't actually use Fedora Core 4. I need 3 background/font combinations as part of an assignment for a Computer Operating System class. I also need to know how various fonts and icons fair on different backgrounds as well as some tips for choosing backgrounds and fonts. I've found bits and pieces of information regarding fonts and font sizes; but, I'm coming up empty on the backgrounds.

I run gnome on Lenny and have been trying to get Weather Report 2.22.3 to work. Rather than having a list of different continents to choose from, I can only select places in Africa. That doesn't help much considering I am half a world away. I have a laptop also, and Weather Report works just fine on it. My desktop is the only machine with the problem.

I have a computer that I use for practically everything. In the same room I have a second computer that I use purely for trialing Linux distributions, It currently has Debian, gNewSense and Kubuntu on it with Grub to choose between. This computer has no keyboard / mouse / monitor, but it has directly wired ethernet to the home network. Is there any way I can set it to be remotely controlled from before / during grub so I can choose from the other computer which to run? I realise I can just crawl behind the desk and unplug the keyboard / mouse / monitor, but I don't particularly want to every time I reboot into a different distro. I also realise that remote access during boot is a security risk so is there a way of allowing only one MAC address to do the controlling?

I am running Fedora 12 on a T400 Thinkpad. When connector my external monitor prior to powering on the computer or if I restart it, I get a lot of resolution choices from xrandr. See below.
Code:
$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1440 x 900, maximum 8192 x 8192
LVDS1 connected 1440x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 303mm x 190mm
1440x900 60.0*+ 50.0
1024x768 60.0
[Code].....
Is there some daemon I need to restart to detect the monitor resolutions correctly, or is there a module I can reload?
There seem to several variables to reproducing the behavior. If I restart without the laptop without the monitor plugged in, log in, and then, plug the monitor in with the monitor powered on prior to plugging, all resolutions are detected properly. However, if I plug the monitor in with it powered off, then power it on, I only get the few options shown in above. Once I get the reduced number of options, it seems to stay that way till I restart regardless of how I unplug the monitor.
I have found a work-around by just forcing the modes with xrandr --newmode and xrandr --addmode, but I would much rather have the modes autodetected.

I am in the process of building a new desktop machine for work and fun. I am looking to run a undecided flavor of Linux (guessing Ubuntu) as my primary OS and several Windows installs with a Windows 7 install for .net development and gaming as virtualized environments.
From my previous experiences with virtualization software in Linux I was never able to find an application that offered descent video card support / graphic acceleration etc. to be capable of playing any games within one of the virtualized environments. And since I will be investing quite a bit of money into this system for gaming I would naturally want to find the best option available to achieve this setup.
So Onto my question: Is there any virtualization software available for Linux that has full video card support, graphic acceleration and capable of taking advantage of everything the video cards have to offer within the virtualized environments?
Or am I stuck with running Windows 7 as my primary OS and using virtualization for Linux and the other OS's?
Also I have no preference on open/closed source and price range would be up to $175.00 to support at least 3 virtualized environments.
