Ubuntu :: How To Enable Alerts When Updates Are Received In Windows
Oct 19, 2010
I recently installed Avant Window Navigator and worked fine. My problem is that I don't have on any preferences tab the option to Alert me when Window receive updates. It seems the new version does not have it as previous versions.I was wondering how can I enable the Alerts when Updates are received in windows.PS. I checked all tabs and seems this option is missed.I forgot to mention that I am also new at GNU/Linux.

My parents have a 8 yr old computer, and they have been running linux for the last 2 years- our graphics card has been a nightmare. It has not worked right....since we first installed 7.10. In 9.04 it could still halfway play DVD's & videos (just barely). No longer in 10.04- Mplayer, totem, xine & VLC die when you try to play a video- any video.
And here's what I get(in terminal):
The program 'totem' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 89 error_code 11 request_code 132 minor_code 19). (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

The reason why I'm pissed because so many people out there that use Linux aways say Microsoft sucks. But I have more problems with Linux, at least with Microsoft problems I can solve. Now since I got that out of my system, here's my issue.
I just installed LTS 10.04 everything was working fine, I have an ATI 5700 card installed so I installed the ATI drivers not the open stuff. After install the drivers worked perfectly no problems. After several days of using the computer, I said I'll run some updates. I did so and rebooted my computer and BOOOM now my ATI drivers do not work. I can't enable desktop effects, can't use cube etc. Not only that but if I go to the prior build it won't work there either. If this was windows 7, I would just reinstall and it would work.
Luckily for me I made a image of my Ubuntu 10.04 and did a restore and everything went back to normal because I restored the image prior to the update. Now just for kicks I ran the updates again to be sure the updates did indeed break the vid drivers. Yep, after the updates ran, reboot, BOOM broke again. What gives? Is it the kernel updates? If so then I guess I'll run updates without updating the kernel. By the way I did try to install the drivers that come with Ubuntu but that work either. I guess I have to do the restore again. I rather use the ATI drivers vs the open stuff.
Questions are the updates unstable? If it is then why release? Can anyone provide any solutions? Should I run updates but skip Kernal changes? If not then what is blowing up the drivers?

I have installed chromium using this: [URL] -- spots repo. I have signed up to the trial for html5 here: [URL] and it says I am in the trial. However I am still unable to play a number of ..... videos not understanding exactly how I would receive the updates to enable html5 I thought I would wait a few days and see what happens but alas after a week nothing has happened.

In Ubuntu I could do this in the Updates tab of Software Sources, but in Linux Mint there is no Updates tab. I just want to install kernel version 2.6.38-9.

On one PC i get automatic updates allmost every day and on the other PC i haven't gotten an auto-update since the install. apt-get update runs ok. I have seen from other posts here, that stable distros are supposed to get only security updates. Why, tho, does one PC get auto-updates, the other not? Is there some switch to enable auto-updates?

I recently installed Deluge 1.2.0 from the following PPA:[URL]I using this on two different Linux computers. One is running Linux Mint 8 and the other is running Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10. The first time on either computer when I enable WebUI in the Deluge GUI it works fine. However if I ever disable it in plugins section I am subsequently unable to re-enable it (doesn't appear in the side panel again). Rebooting or reinstalling Deluge seems to have no effect.Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I need to do firmware updates to various peripherals and may need to do so again in future. The problem is that all or most of the manufacturers provide BIOS updates are Microsoft Windows ONLY.
To that end I thought that I would install WINE, but I have been advised that WINE does not give true access to the hardware layer. As an alternative, I thought of creating a Windows "live CD".
My idea is to create a bootable "live CD Windows" on USB stick, so that I can boot from the memory stick, a

Recently downloaded 10.04 I've just installed to a spare hard drive. The problem I have is after I do the latest system updates to Ubuntu my windows 7 selection disappears from the boot menu. It's there straight after the install. The only way I got it back was to re install ubuntu. Currently I'm not using Ubuntu as I don't want to lose the windows 7 selection again and have to re install. Has anyone seen this problem before and any advise on what I should do to ensure I can still select windows 7 from the boot menu after I update ubuntu.

I've installed Lubuntu alongside my existing Windows XP installation. The menu came up on boot allowing me to boot into either Lubuntu or XP. But, after I install all the Lubuntu updates and restart, the option to boot into XP is gone. The boot menu comes up, but no XP option. I reinstalled Lubuntu again with the same results: after the updates, no XP option. I'm thinking I will reinstall Lubuntu again, and before I run the updates, I will make a copy of grub.cfg for later reference so I can add the XP section in again- am I on the right track here?

I'm relatively new to ubuntu and linux and for convenience I choose to surrender to the "ME" set-up by ubuntu, when it comes to using Empathy over my preferred Pidgin (I still use Thunderbird though without integration). The thing that annoys me is that the alert sounds, when I get chat massages and so on, are really low! Lot's of times I missed chats from friends because I didn't hear them. I've looked on the internet and I've tried different sound settings in the main preferences, but nothing. How to turn up the alert volume for Empathy?

How to get weather alerts with conky.
I'm using the following bit of code:
This (correctly) display a message to the effect "There are no weather alerts for ...." when there are no weather alerts. However, when there is an alert, it simply displays a message like "Short-term forecast for ..." with no further information.
How are other people getting weather alert info in their conkys?

I have a server running ubuntu 8.10. I have monitoring software to monitor cerain devices on our LAN & WAN. However I need to set up e-mail on the server to mail me alerts for when something goes down. However this is where the problem comes in. I have never set up any mail clients on ubuntu server and am also not sure which one to use in this case. I have done some reading on squirrel mail and fetchmail. I am also aware there is roundcube and a few others available.
Here's my scenario: We have a mail server located off site. We use XP with Outlook on all our work machines. Outlook connects to the mail server using https with basic ntlm auth. So what I am trying to do is set up mail software to allow my server to send me an e-mail (using the above mail server) to my mail address so I get a mail whenever there's a problem with any of the devices being monitored.

I did a fresh install of Lucid alongside Vista on my laptop, a Toshiba Satellite A205-S5804. When I went into "Personal File Sharing" under System > Preferences, it said that the necessary packages were not installed. Using the documentation at this link: [URL] I went into a terminal, opened shares-admin, and as promised it told me that I didn't have the right software installed, and allowed me to check both NFS and SMB to install. I did so, installed, and at the end, it said everything was successful.
After exiting the dialog, the window asking me to install NFS/SMB appeared again. I selected to install, it disappeared, and then reappeared. It did this repeatedly, until I decided to close it out. I then went back to the guide, and went to add a new share. But the drop down box would not allow me to choose Windows share, only Unix (NFS). How do I enable Windows File sharing? I have used Ubuntu in the past and have got it to share with Windows computers flawlessly. Now, it appears that this essential (for me) functionality is broken.

I get no sound for anything, I am running Ubuntu Lucid-amd64. Pulseaudio detects my sound card, and appears to be playing to it when I look at pavucontrol. But I get no sound for anything, not even alerts. I don't eve know how to debug it, because everything I have looked at looks like it should be working. I have checked every mute button I can find, and nothing is muted that I can see. The relevant information for my sound card from lspci -v is:

Does anyone know of any software that can monitor the Apache logs for certain phrases or keywords then send an alert when found? For example I know an attempt to hack has been made when I see log entries like this....
/admin/
/admin/phpadmin/
/phpadmin/
But by the time I see it, the attempt has long since failed or succeeded. What I need is a way for my server to alert me WHILE someone is entering these phrases. I realize there may be a "hit" to performance but my server is not that busy anyway (except for hackers).

I recently setup a server running subversion. It is working well and all, but I am curious as to how to make it send out email alerts to my team when a commit occurs.Also, are their any good GUI tools to manage a subversion server in Ubuntu. The command line is fine since I made some scripts but a nice GUI would be great! Maybe that could be a fun project to work on.

I tried to partition with P Magic but my windows xp would not boot afterwards, so I have gone cold turkey.....wiped the drive and installed linux. Debian is now the third one I've looked at and hope to stay here. Couple questions right off
1) Is firewall installed with debian installation or do I have to do something else?
2) are updates automatic?

I have configured Nagios on SLES 10 SP2. I could configure nagios but 2 things are not working correctly.
1.It doesnt show correct disk utilization for /local partition.
2.It doesnt send Alerts.
I have installed NAGIOS (nagios-3.2.0-11.1, nagios-plugins-1.4.14-11.1 and few other which are required to remove dependency) on server and I have installed nagios (nagios-plugins-1.4.14-11.1, nagios-nrpe-client-2.12-11.1 and few other packages to remove dependency) on client.
Configuration files from NAGIOS server: nagios.cfg (Since this file is big, I have copied the relevant portion only. Let me know if any specific info is required from this file)=>
log_file=/var/log/nagios/nagios.log
cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/commands.cfg
cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/contacts.cfg
cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/contactgroups.cfg
cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/timeperiods.cfg

Upgraded to 11.04 a few weeks ago and after some tweaking found a way to adjust to the Unity shell. When I initially upgraded Im certain that when Evolution alerted me of an upcoming event, that the mail alert icon on the top panel would change to indicate the pending event. However, for the last few days Ive noticed that when Evolution alerts trigger I see the alert bubble, which quickly fades, but the mail alert icon does not change. If Im not right at my workstation when the alert triggers its easy to miss upcoming events. I googled around for a solution, but found nothing or missed it.

Sometimes the website will show an alert box akin to "Are you sure you want to leave?" when you try to leave the site. Is it possible to disable this from happening, without using something like the NoScript extension?
