If I set my Ubuntu 10.10 to sleep after an hour of inactivity, I can't leave Blender to render overnight. The processing that Blender is doing seems to be ignored, and the computer goes to sleep after an hour. How can I prevent this from happening? I don't want to set Sleep to Never, I would like the computer to sleep after Blender is done.

Under Preferences > Power Management I have changed the settings to never put the computer to sleep and never to put the display to sleep.
My display still goes to sleep and I am prompted for my password when I leave the computer unattended.
I would like to be able to hit the "Lock Screen" app I added to the top panel to lock my screen, but otherwise I would like it to just stay on.
When I tell the computer to go to sleep and there is a power failure the sleep state is lost. Is there a way to prevent this? I already know about hibernate and I'm using it but sleep is faster and there is no complete loading of the computer (BIOS, Grub and so on) it just goes directly into the desktop. As far as I know the sleep state is done when everything is in RAM and the computer is turned off but the RAM sticks still receive power. Is this true?
P.S. Can this be done with hibernate and SSD drives? As far as I can tell from what I've read it will be the same but with no state loss. Is this true?
I'm trying to make the power manager NOT automatically shutdown / sleep / hibernate when battery power of my laptop reaches critical
I am surprised there isnt an 'NO ACTION' option for that in power manager
I've tried editing the acpi-supper in /etc/default bu couldn't find a solution in there nor in the /home/user/.gconf/apps/gnome-power-manager/ directory
New to Fedora (from Windows), I am up and running ok with packages from the repository but only half ok with Processing, the Java graphics programming front end from processing.org.Their download gave me a .tgz file which Package Manager extracted for me into a location of my choice and where there is now a "processing" shell script.This works ok and I have managed to create a launcher on the desktop. That starts ok but always with processing's default action of giving you a new and automatically named work file.In Windows an existing Processing file (.pde file) could be "opened-with" Processing. Trying to do similar in Fedora I find that I am expected to nominate an Application to open with but Processing has not installed as an application.I guess the question is how do I promote Processing to be an Application?Or is there a different approach?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Ubuntu Lucid an my Celeron 2.4 Ghz laptop but for some reason I find it slower than Ubuntu Jaunty which is on my Pentium 4 3.00Ghz desktop (especially Gdebi Package Installer. Could this be because of the different processing speeds of the processors, or just Ubuntu 10.04 or because Jaunty has been updated so many times and Lucid is still quite new. It is not just slower, much slower.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have installed Ubuntu onto a old Dell Dimension 2400, with a Intel Celeron and i845GV chip. I am trying to install Processing and it says:
"If you set up a launcher (e.g. in Ubuntu), be sure to set the working directory to the folder that contains the shell script. It's not smart enough to find its own path."
How do you set up a launcher and set the working directory? Also, I have no idea about the chips in PC's but processing.org says it should run on. Ubuntu Linux 9.04 (on i686 and x86_64). Can i845GV support processing?
About 2 years ago I was trying to figure out a way to use high end GPUs to supplement server processes. I made a post about it:URL...It seems like somebody was able to do this and create a super computer which ran purely on GPUs:URL...It would be interesting to see if this was possible to set up the server kernel to use high end GPUs to add processing power.It should be possible as long as the kernel would handle this as it would a multiple core processor.

When I try and browse to one of our websites the browser wants to download the file as the server will not process the php file. I get which is a: application/x-httpd-php
What's really odd is that from inside the network where the server is located everything works fine, its only from the outside that this happens?
Everything was fine until I ran an system update from webmin that updated a ton of things including Apache2 and PHP5.

Up until now I've kept Windows XP on my system because of a couple of programs that I need for video editing and processing. Just this past week I got a new computer with an AMD 2.8 GHz quadcore processor and I'm just wondering if with this machine I might be able to run XP in Virtualbox and not set aside an XP partition. With 4 GB of RAM, I should be able to give the Virtualbox adequate memory. Oh, yeah, I have a new 500 GB SATA hard drive, too.

I have read many posts trying to find a reference to
Code:

because this started with grub-pc being the first and only package that refused to install. I have yet to find a direct reference to 'error exit status 10'. I find many other status codes, but few of 'status 10'.
Now, unfortunately, work took me away for a few of weeks and now I am getting errors for:
grub-pc

I have tried
Code:
apt-get -f install

I have tried

and then re-installing grub-pc still gives same error.
And finally there are many other attempts, all with the same result.
