Nov 23, 2010I'm using Ubuntu 10.04. Is there a GUI tool that will tell me what hardware I have? Process type and speed, the amount of ram, motherboard, etc?

In Windows we have Turbo C...So do we have something like that in Ubuntu to write programs & run/compile it.
Also the programs written should be able to run in Windows also.
Is there any way to get some transparency in this part? I have compiz installed and I'm using an emerald theme.

My computer has several partitions and OS:s on it, including beloved Ubuntu. If I want a total and identic clone of my HD, would dd be the way to go?Would it also preserve GRUB, bootrecords, etc? I'm after something that is at least as workable as Norton Ghost and from what I've read dd would to the trick.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Brother MFC-7440N which has Linux drivers, but I can't get useful scans yet. It prints fine, but the only scanning software I've found so far, XSane and a utility just called "Scanner Utility" are both useless.
XSane is no good because it crashes every time I try to scan something.
Scanner Utility has a few problems. Unless I set the paper size to "Legal," it keeps cutting off the bottom few inches of my (US letter-size) document. It's the same, regardless of whether I scan from the auto document feeder, or with the original on the glass. Also the orientation is screwed up. When I select "Portrait," the scan comes out rotated 90 degrees, exactly the opposite of what I'd expect.
I also don't like that there's no way to go back and change the scan settings. If I want to scan another document or at a different resolution, I have to quit Scan Utility and run it again.
Neither utility will scan to a .pdf. XSane gives the option, but like I said, it crashes every time I try to scan something.
Is there a scanning program available for Ubuntu that actually works, & will scan to a .pdf? Brother doesn't supply any scanning software for Linux, just drivers, so I have to find some 3rd-party utility.
i installed blender, and the top tool bar doesn't work. (file, add, timeline, etc)

everything else in blender seems to be running fine
Runing 10.04, same prob with 9.10
I've only been using Ubuntu for a few months, a good friend turned me on to it and I definitely like it better than any version of Windows out there, but I'm definitely still learning about it.
I may have clicked on something, but my bottom tool bar totally disappeared and I'm not sure how to get it back. Before it disappeared, none of the windows I had opened were showing up on it either.
To reiterate, I'm not sure what I clicked on to make it disappear, for the most part it just did... :-/
I was using the 9.10 distro and just upgraded to the 10.04 distro. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it either.
I'm using 32 bit ubuntu and from time to time when I boot up every window I open is missing the tool bar up top that contains the minimize, expand and close buttons. usually a reboot or 2 fixes it but it hasn't worked. how do I fix this bug?

the point is that I have no idea in which directory to install the gmp.
How do I get rid of Yellow Tool Tips? I already tried: gconf-editor and apps > panel > global and uncheck tooltips_enabled; then rebooted. The yellow tips are still there. I find them of little help and a bit annoying. Update: Actually I just noticed that the color depends on the theme being used, therefore it is not always yellow!
View 3 Replies View RelatedI know that there are other threads about performance problems (10.10 runs slow and jerky and way too slow for instance), but there is no solution (at least for me): I have a normal laptop (ASUS F5 with 2 GB). I used Ubuntu 9.x, and it was fine, there were no performance issues. But with Ubuntu 10.10 most applications are very slow (nautilus, OpenOffice, Eclipse ...). I have GNOME and no visual effects (hardware driver for graphics card). It is almost impossible to work with this system.Can I use a profiling tool for analysis? What tool do you recommend?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy workstation has a Nvidia Quadra FX550 graphics card which affects compiz in a very bad way; movies is often just black screened, Blender runs extremely slow etc. Switching to Metacity makes the computer much more robust without any glitches.
I would gladly move to Metacity if not for a big BUT; the annotation tool in Compiz which I use all the time. Not having that makes me a handicapped animator.
So, is there some sceen annotate tool that works in Metacity?
I haven't used this tool for a couple of months now and in that time I've had to reinstall ubuntu 10.10 for other needs. so I've gotten the tool back because of certain characters that ubuntu won't recognize, but I'm having an issue with it. I get this when I try to run it: Your current encoding was not found, or you are using the C Locale. Please pick a supported language from usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED and log in again.
I'm not sure exactly how to do this and wanted to ask here first before I screw something up with the unicode. Also this hasn't happened to me the first time I've used this, but also I didn't perform or install as many other options and devices as last time either.
My unity toolbar has disappeared. The old style ubuntu panels have appeared in its place. This was happening on occasion before, but restarting the computer would get rid of it. This time unity has been gone for about a week, through many reboots, driver re-installations, etc.I just installed a new graphics card, which is working fine on the windows partition. Unity would fail to load on occasion with the old card, too. I know the new card works with Ubuntu, because Unity was working fine with it for about a week.
I'm running Ubuntu 11.04. The old card was a GeForce 7900 GT, the new one is a low-profile Sparkle GeForce 8400 GS.
I have installed MySQL server via Synaptic Package Manager successfully and I also installed MySQl administrator to check for MySQL installation. It is all there. And I ran this also, where "mysql" is a client tool:

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
I entered my ubuntu user password, and I get access error. I have 10.04 LTS version.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been using Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx for some time and I have some problems with Tracker (the searching tool):
1. It looks like it reindexes after every turning on a computer. It always starts at 0/55234 files.
2. It doesn't index e-mails in Evolution. I'm using IMAP, but all mail is marked for offline use. So it's on the harddisk. And it worked in older versions of Ubuntu.
3. GUI is totally different than the one which is shown on the website of Tracker [URL]. How is it possible? Is Ubuntu using some old version? Moreover the Czech translation is lost in Lucid. It was 100% translated in Karmic, and now it's completely English.
Using 64 bit 10.4 and have 2 problems.
The first was I couldn't get the amazonmp3 download tool to work.
It complained about missing/wrong libboost* libraries.
There may be a better way of fixing this, I have no idea, but what worked for me was this:
I had spare machine running 9.10 so I installed the amazonmp3 loader on it and did the getlibs to make it work.
Once done, I copied the /usr/lib32/libboost* files over to my 10.4 machine, ran getlibs /usr/bin/amazonmp3 and it went in clean. It now works : )
My second problem that I am working is that gdesklets does not start. Still looking at that.
I have been having a problem with the panel on the top of the screen in Ubuntu 10.04. There is supposed to be an applet that shows the time, and when you click on it, it shows a calendar for the month. It has been working until recently, about a few days ago, when I clicked it and it froze. Later, it disappeared and became a small vertical black line on the panel, and all the other icons moved to the right except a few of them. How can I get the calendar applet back?
