My desktop machine has U 10.10, Gnome, Compiz, Cairo dock. After a lengthy session with lots of programs and windows open, hitting the shutdown or restart or logout buttons don't produce anything at all. Suspend works. Sudo shutdown -h now in a terminal window works. Why the graphical ways of shutting down don't work?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been using another Linux distro(Xandros) for 3 years on one computer and have just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a different computer. I am trying to network the 2 computers via simple ethernet cards and a crossover cable so that I can gradually migrate applications, data and peripherals from Xandros to Ubuntu. I am completely new to Ubuntu and I am really struggling to get NFS to work. Each computer
can ping the other, so the hardware connectivity seems OK. I have shared the relevant directories from each computer. I have followed malco2001's ellent HowTo guide and have now reached the stage where Xandros, as client, can mount directories on Ubuntu, as server, and see the files but I cannot get Ubuntu, as client, to mount directories on Xandros. When I attempt this from Ubuntu, using the command
# mount -t nfs 192.168.1.2:/home/richard /mnt/PC2_richard
(I have already issued from Ubuntu: # mkdir /mnt/PC2_richard)
I get the message:
mount.nfs: mount to NFS server '192.168.1.2:/home/richard' failed: RPC Error: Success
The configuration of various files etc. is as follows:
Ubuntu
IP address: 192.168.1.1

I should mention that Xandros does not have nfs-kernel-server installed; instead it has nfs-user-server.I am sorry if I have omitted or done something really stupid but I have spent best part of a week on this with only partial success.
I am using Xubuntu 9.10, 2.6.31-17-generic kernel. Video driver: "ati".I have only been using Linux for less than a year now but I have never been able to get hibernate mode working. Had the same problem on previous kernels and with Nvidia drivers. Tonight I tried removing all traces of any nvidia drivers hiding in my system (I recently changed to an ATI card), and also upgrading to grub 2. Still no luck.If I use the "hibernate" option from the shutdown menu, I just get a black screen with a blinking cursor. If I use s2disk, I get a little bit more of a hint, but still not very helpful. Then it just locks up after that. Power is still on and it never shuts down. I have a 6 gig swap partition set up that is enabled, so it is definitely not a swap issue.

I'm trying to switch from debian to fedora (13) and I'm stuck at getting yum to remove leave dependencies.
So far I've installed "yum-plugin-remove-with-leaves" and I'm able to remove leave dependencies if I invoke yum with the "--remove-leaves" argument from command line.
But this doesn't work with graphical front ends and I want to remove unused leave dependencies every time if I remove a package not just if I remember to invoke yum with the "--remove-leaves" argument.
Later on I discovered an option in "/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/remove-with-leaves.conf" named "remove_always = 1" and uncommented it. But yum doesn't seem to care. I still need to add the "--remove-leaves" argument otherwise yum isn't going to remove the leave dependencies.
How to configure yum to handle dependencies the way I used to know from apt under debian? Install a package with a graphical front end and dependencies get pulled in as needed. Uninstall a package later on and dependencies installed in the first place are removed as well if not needed by anything installed in between.
I'm not a Linux noob, but I am far from guru. I'm running a single board computer with a slightly customized Debian Etch (customized by the SBC vendor). No Gnome/KDE/X installed. My application is a control application which uses SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) to paint some basic graphics on the VGA. I need to run it as root because the application calls iopl() to access an IO port.If I run my application manually from the command line, life is sweet. From Googling around, I found http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/28, and hence I:1) Created a script in /etc/init.d2) Executed "update-rc.d scriptName defaults" to link the script into the boot sequenceAll very straightforward. My application starts at boot. But when I try to SSH/SFTP into the SBC, I get "Connection refused". So I can't manage the SBC anymore, and this is a big problem. I am not sure if it's relevant, but my application starts before the SSH daemon.My script looked like:
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting my application"

This is a clean install of Lucid sometimes I get the Ubuntu loading screen and sometimes just black screen followed by a flash of green across the top and some text. Sometimes its loads with a high resolution and that's when there are other problems no authorisation to mount other file systems and no shutdown or restart just takes me back to login. When it loads at the lower resolution it seems to work fine.

I found myself in troubles. I was trying to get dts passthrough works in many many ways with no success. Finally I (desperately) decided to try OSS rather than ALSA following this guide: [URL].. And there the things went wrong. I ended up with no sound at all so I tried to reinstall alsa again but with no luck.
basicaly what I did after following the guide was: sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils. sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-sound-base //and choose alsa
but still, for example:
$ alsamixer
puts:
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
$ /etc/init.d/alsa-utils start
* Setting up ALSA... [ OK ]
but no alsa process at all. $ aplay -l aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found. It seems to me like sound card drivers are gone..
I find out there are two ways to do that:
sudo passwd -l root
sudo usermod -p root
What are the different? I saw a kubuntu post said:
-l, --lock
Lock the named account. This option disables an account by changing the password to a value which matches no possible encrypted value. I enable and set a root password, I want to return to a "no possible encrypted value" just like the way it was.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm currently trying to find ways to get in-depth knowledge of the Linux OS. To give a brief overview of where I am at right now, I am a computational science graduate student who does all of his work on *nix scientific clusters.I also took a lot of computer engineering and computer science courses in college, as well as being the stereotypical standard computer nerd growing up, so I'm somewhat familiar with computer architecture, though more from the hardware side.So I'm familiar (though I wouldn't claim to be an expert quite yet, by any means) with using Linux and C programming, and I have a basic grasp of generic computer architecture, but what I feel I really lack knowledge in is the specific details of the Linux. All the details of the boot process, exactly what the kernel does, how Linux handles memory management, etc. I'm having difficulty finding any information on this;all I can find is generic information targeted towards people who are just starting out, and the stuff I've found that talks about the kernel seems more oriented towards "you change setting X and Y happens" rather than what the kernel is doing.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've found various programs and methods to measure FLOPS, but I don't seem to understand them. What is wrong with the following?
test-flops.py
Code:
#! /usr/bin/env python
float_increment = 1.03 # random
start = 57.24 # random
floating_point = start
for i in xrange(10 ** 6):floating_point += float_increment
Code:
PROMPT$ time ./test-flops.py
As far as I can see, this times a program that performs 1 million FLOPs (namely incrementation).
This outputs about 1.2 seconds on my (reasonably fast) machine, giving 840kFLOPS, which is much too low.This post may be in the wrong section; a C translation increments the result by three orders of magnitude (ie, py sucks), but this is still considerably less (~ 7-fold) than published values.
I just recently installed Fedora Server on my computer and I am planning on hosting my website on this server instead of paying for hosting.All of my files for my website are currently using php but for some reason when I moved them here to "test" them before launching the final switch, the PHP does not work.I have further investigated this issue to learn that my php files were written using:<? and ?> to start the scripts
Apparently I have to write <?php and php?> to make these scripts work now.Is there a way I can edit a system file to allow me to use both instead of having to change all my files?
During my read, "Code Complete",the author described the different ways of handling the ADT interface.He has wrote this passage:
Quote:
Option 2: Explicitly provide the data used by the ADT services. In this approach, you declare the data that the ADT uses within each routine that uses an ADT service. In other words, you create a Font data type that you pass to each of the ADT service routines. You must design the ADT service routines so that they use the Font data that's passed to them each time they're called. The client code doesn't need a font ID if you use this approach because it keeps track of the font data itself. (Even though the data is available directly from the Font data type, you should access it only with the ADT service routines.This is called keeping the structure "closed.") The advantage of this approach is that the ADT service routines don't have to look up font information based on a font ID. The disadvantage is that it exposes font data to the rest of the program, which increases the likelihood that client code will make use of the
ADT's implementation details that should have remained hidden within the ADT.
The problem is that it is a bit subtle in terms of coding for me. Can anybody give more concrete example, in working codes, especially in Java?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an Alienware M11x r2 laptop running Windows 7-63 and Ubuntu 10.10 Unity installed.It was all fine and dandy until I changed my grub timeout to 1 sec (or perhaps 0, its been so long i can't remember!) to reduce the waiting time until an OS boots.My grub was set to boot to Windows 7 as default.Now when I boot up I cannot halt the boot process not matter what key I press (e.g SHIFT).I am doomed to forever boot into Windows. Its been months and I had written off my Ubuntu OS but I am tempted to try and fix this one more time.Since I cannot access the Ubuntu installation AT ALL I cant use the usual ways to increase the timeout on the grub menu (yes I have searched the forums far and wide).
Is there ANY way of changing the grub menu parameters without actually booting into Ubuntu Unity? Can I modify the timeout settings using a live cd or usb boot?
