I have a Dell Inspiron 9200 with the Intel Pent M 1.8ghz processor that has speed stepping. For some reason the speed stepping doesn't seem to be working...is there a way for me to force the CPU to run at a higher speed then the current 600mhz...I installed cpufreq but the commands i give it from the cpufreq wiki don't seem to be doing much.

I've installed 2 internet browsers(firefox,opera) using the directions from Slackbuilds.org and there is also konqueror pre-installed. Moreover I installed Wicd network manager.
I can browse some pages e.g. ..... with firefox very slowly but NEVER facebook. I can browse almost any page, even facebook, with OPERA but very very slowly. The same goes with konqueror... Wicd shows that i am always connected with my WPA wireless network

View 3 Replies View RelatedI can do it in Win, just can't get my head around it here.
I need to be able to see *all* of the program running lol, the bottom portion (around 25px i think) is missing.
Programs only options are, 1024x600 (netbooks native WSVGA res), and 800x600.
I need something like 1024x750...
So my monitor (a 19" acer) has a native res of 1440x900, which is not detected in display settings. How do I force the resolution to that?

Anyone got any ideas how I can force it into a low graphics mode or similar so at the very least I can access the desktop.

Code:

can I force the fsck to more indepth checks such as doing directory optimisations, bad blocks checks, etc. maybe by passing parameters to the fsck call during startup?
I've hired a dedicated Ubuntu10.10 Server on a remote colocation. I needed a GUI to be able to hook into my KVM guests, so I installed xubuntu-desktop.
My dedicated server provider provides me very useful free service. I can request a CTRL+ALT+DEL to my server through their web based server control panel, and I can boot into a live image from their network. This is vital for me to be able fix back configuration problems.
However after I have installed xubuntu-desktop (XFCE I believe), the CTRL+ALT+DEL no longer reboots the machine.
I've been struggling with this simple issue for quite a few days, I simply can't get it to work.
I've tried setting it through XCFE 4 Settings Manager. It does not work. From my understanding any keyboard shortcuts defined here are specific to user, so I think they'll not work when the server is in login screen (no user logged in).
I've tried to put control-alt-delete.conf files in /etc/init and /etc/init/d , neither seems to trigger reboot.
I use Ubuntu 10.10 on a Medion PC (E6220), and everything is fine and dandy ... except, the webcam does not work. Well actually I think it does work, and I also think, that Ubuntu would recognize it, if it was turned on. The problem however is, that in order to turn it on, I need to press fn+F9, and that key combo simply does not work ... neither does the fn+F7 combo, which toggles the wifi - but that is less important, since wifi is on and works. Logging into i.e. win7, toggling the webcam there, and then back into Ubuntu is not really an option at the moment. So right now I seem to be stuck in a situation, where a non-defined keyboard shortcut equals no webcam at all. The obvious question of course is: Is there a way to force the webcam on without the key-combo?

When I boot into Ubunutu I am told that the shared partition (which I called Storage on my shared NTFS D Drive) wont mount.

todays update required a restart an then it went into check disc mode but i dont have time to wait and ended it.is there a way to force a check disc on a reboot when i do have time?
View 5 Replies View RelatedIn Ubuntu Karmic conencting a USB device causes OS to automatically mount its partitions to /media/LABEL, automatically creating proper directories which are later automatically destroyed immediately after unmounting. But what if If I manually unmount a specific partition and I would like the OS to try doing automount another time, without reconnecting the whole device (it can have other partitions in active use)? I know I can mount manually, but then I have to create a directory for the mount point and I have to remember later to remove it manually.I'd like to be done as before, with the mount point directory being automatically destroyed after unmounting - can this be done in a terminal?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to re-install tomcat6 after removing it and all it's dependencies, but it got corrupt when trying to re-install. I'm on Ubuntu Sever Lucid 10.04 LTS with command line only.
I started with:
Code:
sudo apt-get auto-remove tomcat6
Then I deleted the /etc/tomcat6 directory manually since it contained file settings I didn't want. I assumed it would automatically install the missing files.
Then I tried re-installing tomcat6 as follows:
Code:
sudo apt-get install tomcat6
This yielded an error:

When I ran 8.04, force check would be run every 23 boots. The ESCAPE key allowed me to skip it that boot and it would again start force check at the next boot. In 10.04, it gave me an option to use the C key to cancel, but it does not attempt force check at subsequent boots. It does not seem to do an automatic check any more.
How can I restore the original 10.04 setting? Or better yet, get it to perform as it did in 8.04
