Ubuntu Installation :: How To Do Mac OS Finder Tasks

Jun 20, 2011

Tried to use Ubuntu 11.4 to assist in recovering a windows xp system. Ran from cd without installing. Failure. Could not find Windows hd. How do I list all storage media. Where is the Mac OS Finder/Windows explorer? Could not find Terminal. Ran search, but seems limited to just your user data. How do I do a search for the terminal applications. Did get some worthless display of all installed programs, but could not launch application. Is there a way of switching the old User Interface from the running from CD version?

Ubuntu Installation :: Pimlico Tasks List Lost During Upgrade To 11.04

Aug 21, 2011

I was using Pimlico Tasks manager with Ubuntu 10.10 [URL]. Yesterday I did an Ubuntu upgrade and all seemed to go OK, but today when I opened Tasks... my list was all empty! All tasks gathered for many months all lost! How could this happened? Isn't Ubuntu supposed to mantain all configs and personal data? And more important - is there any way I can recover my task list?

Ubuntu Installation :: No Admin Password But Can Do Its Tasks From Test-drive Disk / Fix It?

Feb 15, 2010

A few weeks ago, I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell Insprion 8600 as a dual boot to try out Ubuntu. I let the setup configure partitions for me. During the install, I was asked once for a password. Last week, Win XP would not boot up; that's OK as I was planning a re-partition and reinstall of both win and Ubuntu.

I wanted to get files off the NTFS partitions (I have one for win, one for the swap file and two more fore files etc.), so I wanted to mount the NTFS partitions. I was asked for a password for the administrator. My regular password, the only one I have set up, would not work. I tried rebooted two more times and still no luck with my only password.

However, I was able to boot up from the set-up disk and mount the NTFS partitions without a password. I was able to move all the files I needed to one partition that I plan to keep (I will reinstall win xp then back up those files on the separate partition).

A question and a comment...

1. How do I install Ubuntu so that I make sure I have the passwords to do administrative level things (like mounting a drive)?
2. Being able to do administrative work off the Ubuntu test-drive disk while being denied access after signing in seems like a security issue (unless I screwed up somewhere).

Ubuntu / Apple :: Finder Freezes When Deleting Files Across OS X Network?

Apr 16, 2011

I have my MacBook 5,2 hooked up to an Ubuntu 10.10 'server' via ethernet.

I've installed netatalk and avahi-daemon on the server. I've disallowed Spotlight (OS X's search utility) from indexing the networked drives.

Everything works as it should, however, from time to time when I delete files that reside on the Ubuntu server from my MacBook, Finder (OS X's file manager) will freeze. I can kill the Finder process. I then try to restart it from the Terminal from the command line but I get the following error message printed:

Code:
LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app.

The only solution I know of at present is to reboot the MacBook.

So I guess I need to know what my options are here. Is it better for me to use SMB? Or is there a config file I can alter? I have a feeling this bug may be linked to certain disallowed characters in file or pathnames as it doesn't happen all the time, although this is just a hunch.

Software :: Searching In Command Line Like In Windows Search Or MacOS Finder?

Jan 25, 2011

I am very familiar with "find" and "locate" and many of the options they provide. Does anyone know a tool in order to search inside of documents and files like you would do it with the finder on Mac or with Windows search?I guess these tools use an indexer which is always running and indexing the content of every file so you can search and find a file based on what is in it, rather than by name only like locate would do.

Ubuntu Installation :: Gimp - Gimp-help-en - On 10.04 Lucid Lynx - Installing Other Applications And Preforming System Tasks?

Jun 12, 2010

Some of you may have had with issues after installing GIMP on Lucid Lynx 10.04. Which may be directly related to "gimp-help-en", which could prevent you from installing other applications and preforming system tasks. If so, use this method to fix it.

Process: (Terminal > $ sudo apt-get install gimp)

1. After installing Gimp go to the terminal:

2. Then load up the language support application:

3. Then it will ask you to install the "gimp-help-en", confirm it.

4. Fix'd

I think this issue is directly linked to a systems with multiple languages, but I haven't been able to test this theory out yet.

Ubuntu :: Cannot Locate The Evolution Tasks

Apr 14, 2011

Recently installed 10.10 netbook edition, and evolution is behaving strangely. Albeit I've never used it before, but having read the documentation and googled it a bit I'm still lost. I cannot create or manage task lists. It's as if their functionality has been completely cut out of ev calendar. When I try to go to File->New->Task List, the Task list option does not appear in the menu (not greyed out, nothing). Can't find the button that's supposed to be there either. I've also checked synaptic for evolution task packages, but no avail.

Ubuntu :: Tasks Not Showing In Evolution?

Jun 9, 2011

I'm using Evolution in Gnome 3 and I'm having this rather annoying issue---whenever I make a new Task, it does NOT show up in the Tasks bar. Even if I try searching for it, the task doesn't show up (even making a new Task List doesn't show up), which makes me think it was never saved properly in the first place. I also tried seeing if there was any sort of error while running Evolution by opening it via the terminal, but I don't get anything. Does anyone else have this issue? Is this a known bug with Evolution

Ubuntu :: Evolution Tasks Missing

Jun 20, 2011

Yesterday, I found that the majority of my tasks on Evolution (2.28.3) had just disappeared. I last did a backup of my system 2 weeks ago but in that time important data has been added to my tasks lists on Evolution. I've read around and found that the problem may be fixed by rebuilding evolution-data-server (see here). However, if this means re-compiling evolution-data-server from the package manager, well, I don't seem to keen on doing that unless I can get confirmation of how to implement it, i.e. how do I rebuild evolution-data-server?

Ubuntu :: Run A Script With Scheduled Tasks?

Jun 27, 2011

i have made a search on this subject and i always find the cron to be the solution for me. But i am asking because i think what i want can be done differently. i have a command line to grab stream and save it. i want this command to be run at different time (hours) on specific days. i should use the "at", as far as i saw here on the forum. But are there other way to do it? can i have a simple script that i run the day of the event, before this occur?

Ubuntu :: Installed A Version With No Desktop, Best Way To Do These Tasks?

Mar 6, 2010

Ok so i have a IOn based PC that i use for only xbmc. I previously had a full ubuntu 9.11 install.

I had to reformat the drive but i could not get audio working. I gave the ION Optimized live CD a go and it worked with HDMI audio running perfectly. The thing is when i close xbmc i don't have a desktop, it just goes to command line.

I need to install lirc, copy some keymap files into my xbmc folder and then setup wireless. What would be the best way? Can it all be done through command line? Can i install a desktop environment?

Ubuntu :: Execute Tasks List Before Shutdown

Aug 10, 2010

When I shut down my computer I want to show some pending tasks that I have to do before leaving the office... I did a local application to manage those tasks, so basically I just want to run a command, and shut down after I kill the app executed. I have already tried with these options:

* /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default --> this works only when I select LogOut option instead Shutdown.

* /etc/rc0.d/K01mycustomscript --> execute script after X is killed

* $HOME/.bash_logout --> This looks like does nothing.

* ./app-to-run && sudo shutdown -h now --> Don't like it for 2 reasons, prompts for sudo password, and can't use my laptop shutdown button.

How could I modify Shutdown dialog ? should I recompile Gnome ? Options? I am using Ubuntu 10.04

Software :: Set Top Box With Scheduling Of Tasks On 2.6.12

Mar 10, 2010

We are seeing some strange behavior on a Set top Box with the scheduling of tasks. We use 2.6.12 kernel. The issue is when we create a Task, say task1 with a priority of 46.But,this task is not Scheduled to run by the scheduler right away. It gets chance to run only after sometime. What we see here is that I create many other tasks with lower priority than task1,but they are immediately scheduled. Ideally, the task1 should have got scheduled before certain other low priority tasks as it has higher priority. Any patch is available wrt this?

Software :: Waiting For Other Tasks

May 26, 2010

for the past several months now, whenever the YUM-deamon goes to automatically update, it just says "waiting for other tasks" and after about 10 min it says "can't get yum lock, other program accessing yum" or something to that effect.i get the same message if i try to manually install programs using the graphical program in gNu.

is there another deamon that also could be using yum or the database for programs? i haven't had too much time to trouble shoot the past few months, so i can't give you better descriptions i'm afraid.
