Ubuntu :: In Kubuntu - What Is Supposed To Notify Of Upgrades

Oct 26, 2010

I've upgraded to Kubuntu 10.10 but there is nothing in my system tray popping up telling me there are packages to upgrade (there are 83 btw!). What should be running? In control panel->software management->settings I can see I have "notify when updates are available" ticked, but I've not been notified of anything. What can I check or install to sort this out?

Ubuntu :: Where In Stages Supposed To Appear Exactly - Fix Flickers?

May 3, 2010

did a fresh install of 10.04 on the wife's laptop. But the visual feedback of the booting process in kind of weird. Here is what I experience: This is on a laptop with intel graphics card. cat /proc/fb prints inteldrm. Which one of these is 'Plymouth' or where in the above stages is it supposed to appear exactly? Isn't Plymouth supposed to give me a flicker-free booting experience from Grub - to - Desktop, atleast on Intel-based computers? How do I fix these flickers? I tried the FRAMEBUFFER=y fix and it only eliminated the blinking cursor but I still see the screen going black and flicker.

Ubuntu :: Gwibber And Flickr And How Is It Supposed To Work

May 2, 2010

Has anyone had success with integration of Gwibber and Flickr and if you did how did you do it? The actual text I tried adding my flickr account to Gwibber in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx and in the end I am not sure if it works or not. There is a documented bug related to Gwibber and Flickr. [URL] Now I did check my screen name (which is naggobot) and I used that and also every other id I could imagine, including direct http link

[URL]

and yahoo email address that is tied to Flickr account. In the end I did manage to get some input to the Gwibber window from the Flickr account but that input was from photo stream of a contact of mine. So my question is has anyone had success of getting their photostream from Flickr to Gwibber? If you succeeded in this how did you do it i.e. what did you fill in to the user name field? Please be super accurate.

Fedora :: VLC Is Not Supposed To Be Run As Root ?

Sep 9, 2011

I have installed Vlc Media Player ... I use fedora14 when I want to run it, it says "VLC is not supposed to be run as root. Sorry. If you need to use real-time priorities and/or privileged TCP ports you can use vlc-wrapper (make sure it is Set-UID root and cannot be run by non-trusted users first)."

I found something that said: " configure --enable-run-as-root "

But this is my question that now that I have installed Vlc, what should I do? where should I do the configuration?

Ubuntu :: Script Supposed To Check If There's A Folder - Create If It's Not There

Jul 9, 2010

I have a script that takes a location and does something to them then creates new files in the supplied location. I was trying to get the script to create the location if it didn't exist, but i can't figure out why it won't work. Here's what i've got right now

Code:

#!/bin/bash
destdir=$1
[[ -z "$destdir" ]] && { echo "No destination parameter supplied, exiting"; exit 1; }
[[ ! -e "$destdir" ]] && { echo "$destdir does not exist, exiting"; exit 1; }

[code]....

when i run the first one, it works if the supplied folder exists. If i try with my modification with a name such as /media/place/Foo bar, it creates a folder called Foo in the supplied dir, and bar in the dir i'm in when i run the script. the -p flag on mkdir creates parent directories btw.

If I nuke Kubuntu, will Grub still exist with my Ubuntu/XP entries to boot?

Debian :: Is Stable Supposed To Be Buggy?

Aug 8, 2010

I don't mean this to be in any way a critical post but I've recently switched to Debian from numerious other distros because of it elidged stability and speed. However I'm using the stable version and frequently have to reboot for certain things to work and frequently multimedia based programs crash on me. I've installed the repo from debian-multimedia.org so I don't know if that's causeing any problems. It crashes on me multiple times a day. Now it's not the OS itself which is the problem I'm sure but more the software in the repos. However it was my udnerstanding that this software was pretty darn well tested.

OpenSUSE Wireless :: How Is NetworkManager Supposed To Work?

Jul 20, 2010

I'm finding the NetworkManager applet very confusing.When I start up at a new location I can use the "Connect to Other Network..." menu item to bring up the list of available networks, and I'd expect that by selecting one of these and clicking "Connect", then configuring and clicking OK, I'd get a connection. Instead the dialog just goes away and nothing else happens. Is something broken with NetworkManager, or am I misunderstanding how this is supposed to work?

By switching back and forth between NetworkManager and ifup I'm eventually able to establish a connection to a new access point, but it's been a painful process.I've also encountered a problem reported by others, where when my system fails to suspend/resume properly the /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state has NetworkingEnabled=false and I need to manually edit this before restarting networking... but that's a separate issue, and I can work around it with the manual edit (or just add a startup script to do this automatically).

OpenSUSE Hardware :: How Are You Supposed To Enable Nvidia Graphics?

Jun 26, 2010

I'm just coming from Ubuntu(don't hate me) and realized that there are no Nvidia drivers in the repos. I had trouble even getting the repos to respond on the live cd or after installation; is opensuse having network problems? I changed the repositories to the GA tech libraries because they are closer and now they work, However I can't get any Nvidia drivers to install. Now, I'm not a super linux guru that can fly around linux like super man, but I'm also not a newbie to linux. Or at least I think I'm not.

I need to get Nvidia drivers installed...what is the easiest way to do that, considering the URL... repo doesn't seem to want to connect either.I don't know what the deal is, but Internet is rather clumsy with opensuse or with KDE, I'm not sure yet.

Ubuntu :: Point To Kubuntu CD Instead Of Kubuntu Repository?

Mar 7, 2011

I would like to apply KDE on my Kubuntu because the current one blew up. But each time I to sudo get-apt it seems to be fetching from the cloud. Is there a way I can make it to read from my local Kubuntu CD? I have both Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Kubuntu Live CDs.

I believe the local disk read should be faster to translate than to bite the bytes across thousands of miles over the wire right?

Ubuntu :: Cannot Change Anything About Notify-OSD?

Jan 23, 2010

Notify-osd is one of my favorite things about ubuntu but the pop ups last _WAY TOO LONG_. I've been googling for an hour and can't find any way to change it. Is this true? This is literally a big enough deal that I might just un-install it. But, that would be terrible because I think it's a fantastic app if it didn't sit there for five god damn minutes telling me about messages I read five minutes ago...

No, not literally five minutes, so don't respond saying "There's no way its five minutes" or "if it lasts that long something's wrong with your computer". If I really can't change the timing then that's an awful call on the part of the programmers who made it. Who the hell wants an app that can't be adjusted in any way?

Ubuntu :: Notify-OSD Not Appearing?

May 3, 2010

No matter what I try, notifications do not appear. The notify-osd program is running (if I check ps) and nothing ever reports an error. I just don't see it, or hear it (does it make a sound?)

I think this might be because of my dual screen setup. I have two screens set up, with the screen on the right lower than the screen on the left so that they match up in real life.

This leaves a dead space above the right hand screen, perhaps its appearing in there? But I have already used notification-preferences to move it to the left (does that even work?) and still nothing. What's up? I rely on notifications to tell me that something's up, since the new "notification area" plugin does not flash and is thus utterly useless on this large screen display (design failure)
