Ubuntu :: "Keep Aligned" Bug?

Apr 29, 2010

In Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) right-click the desktop and uncheck the "Keep Aligned" checkbox.Then reboot. Now the Keep Aligned checkbox is checked again. Keep Aligned automatically reverts to the checked state. I didn't have this problem with Ubuntu 9.04.Why can't I permanently uncheck the Keep Aligned checkbox?If you search Ubuntu Forums for the term "Keep Aligned", you will find several discussions about this bug, some dated almost 6 months ago. As yet no one has offered a solution. Several people, including myself, are very irritated by this bug.

Ubuntu Installation :: Creating 4KB Aligned Partitions During 10.04 Install?

May 1, 2010

I'm currently running a Ubuntu 9.10 64bit machine with one of those 2TB WD disks that does have 4KB blocks.Unfortunately the current partition layout is misaligned, so I plan to back up my home directory and start fresh with a 10.04 install, trying to make the partitions aligned as suggested here:what I'm wondering is, does the 10.04 partitioning program take care of the alignment today or I have to resort doing manual partitioning with a separate tool?

Ubuntu Installation :: Create Aligned Partitions With Fdisk On EBS?

Jul 17, 2010

After reading Markus Ewald blogpost on http:[url]...n-ssd-on-linux about Aligning an SSD on Linux I decided to give it a try.I have bought two 80 GB Intel X25-M SSD for my home server. The plan is to install Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit server and use the SSDs as system discs and vmware data storage using software raid for redundancy.After reading the blog post I am not sure how to make all my partitions aligned and set up on EBS (Erase Boundary Size)I am planning for four partitions:Boot, size 1GB

Root, size 25GB
Swap, size 4GB
Data storage for vmware server, size 40GB

According to Markus Ewald I should use 32 heads and 32 sectors.Using the live CD, I started using fdisk -S 32 -H 32 /dev/sda.Fdisk can create partitions using cylinders or sectors, and now I ran into trouble.

First partition /boot must start on cylinder 2 (or sector 1024). Size is 1 GB and the following partition should be aligned and start on a new EBS block. How do I do this with fdisk?Should the next partition start on a new cylinder? Otherwise, after formatting, fdisk gives a warning that the partition is not aligned to the cylinder size? The overall question is how to format four aligned partitions which all are aligned with Intels X25-M EBS. EBS for Intel X25-M is either 128KB or 512KB (Have not found a confirmed value yet)

Debian :: Can't Kill Desktop 'keep Aligned'?

May 31, 2011

OK, I admit I'm a little OCD about icon placement on the Desktop - I want to do it myself - so this is driving me a bit nuts.I have right-clicked to disable the option 'keep aligned'. I have made sure it is disabled in gconf-editor. BUT IT KEEPS COMING BACK!ince I don't mess a lot with my desktop, I'll notice it's reverted when I add something new, can't place it exactly where I want to and once again have to untick 'keep aligned'.It seems to be random so not quite sure what might be triggering it.

Fedora :: Keep Aligned Check Box - Clears After Reboot

Jan 3, 2010

I have Fedora 12 & GNOME. But, this actually is an issue with many Linux distro's and GNOME. If I set the Keep Aligned Check Box Off - the next reboot it is back too set on. (Right click empty area on GNOME Desktop). I have searched many forums and search engines, I must be doing my search wrong there must be others that have noticed this, And the posts I do find on it are sometimes pretty old, so it does not seem like a bug would be around so long. I saw some notes about Nautilus also but no answers. FYI In CentOS 5.4 & GNOME it works properly.

General :: Switch Man Formatting To Left-aligned?

Sep 19, 2010

I installed openSuSE 11.3. By default, man pages blocks are justified (block-aligned). Example:

Code:

WARNING Improper use of this command may seriously damage your system,so read this manual carefully to understand how to use it correctly and prevent yourself from destroying your system. Instead, I would like all manual pages would be displayed left-aligned, like this:

Code:

WARNING Improper use of this command may seriously damage your system, so read this manual carefully to understand how to use it correctly and prevent yourself from destroying your system.

I definitely would not like to reformat all the manual pages one-by-one. but rather just changing sometnihg in some macro-definition file or something similar? .. Is it possible achieve that simply and quickly?

Software :: Overlaying An Image Onto A GIF Animation With Imagemagick Gets Aligned Improperly?

May 16, 2011

I'm on Ubuntu 11.04, and am trying to overlay a static blue coastline image onto a geostationary GIF animation with 12 frames using imagemagick. The code I used to create the composite animation is as follows:

Code:

convert ( animation.gif -coalesce ) null: ( outline.tif -coalesce ) -layers Composite composite_animation.gif

The resulting animation is below:

[URL]

It's a bit hard to see, but the blue outline should be aligned much farther to the left on the image, but the vast majority of it is cut-off to the right because it is shifted so far. It should be centered. Both the outline and the background are actually cropped regions out of respectively larger images that are identical in size and are designed to be overlaid.

If I choose a cropped region farther to the right on the background animation, the cropped blue outline of the same region won't even show up at all after the overlaying, as if it is shifted completely off the screen for some reason. I have had success overlaying outlines before with the above command, but here it is not working. I tried appending "-gravity center" to the command with no success.

Programming :: Script To Delete Aligned Single-character Columns With No Field Separator?

Apr 20, 2010

The lines beginning with greater-than symbols are the sequence descriptors and the lines immediately after each descriptor with A-Z characters, dashes, and question marks are the aligned DNA sequences. The sequences are always the same length within a file and never span/wrap across more than one line.I am trying to write a script to remove positions in the sequences that are only represented by a -, X, ?, or N (these represent gaps or missing data). Also, if there is exactly one non-gap/missing character in a position it is also useless (there is nothing to compare it to) so I would like to remove those positions as well.

Position 5 (from the left) was removed because it was all gap/missing characters. Position 9 was removed because only one character was a non-gap/missing character. Position 10 was retained because there were 2 non-gap/missing characters.I'm really not sure where to start here. My first concern is I can't figure out how to tell awk to treat each character in lines not containing a greater-than symbol as a separate field. After that, I'm thinking I should use set up a counter to count the number of lines with gap/missing characters comparing that to the total number of lines not containing greater-than signs?

Ubuntu :: "Keep Aligned" On Desktop?

Feb 10, 2011

What does the "Keep Aligned" option for the desktop do in Ubuntu (Nautilus)? I was expecting it to work much like what I had previously seen in other operating systems, but it doesn't.So for example, I can drag an icon and drop it two pixels away from its original place, and it is not aligned back to the previous place automatically, however, if I disable and re-enable the Keep Aligned option, it is aligned to the grid.Is it that Keep Aligned option is not working on my installation, or is it generally supposed to work like that?

Red Hat / Fedora :: Permanently Uncheck "Keep Aligned"?

Dec 31, 2010

In Fedora 14, is there a setting in Configuration Editor that you can't uncheck, to uncheck Keep Aligned in right click desktop? Or, is there a piece of code that destroys that indelible check? When that box is unchecked, it's back on the next boot. It always messes up my desktop icons.

Ubuntu Installation :: [Errno 13] Permission Denied: U'C:\ubuntu\install\ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso'

Jun 29, 2010

I'm new to Linux, so I decided to try using Wubi to get started. THe problem is, when it finished installing 10.04, I got this message: OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'C:\ubuntu\install\ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso' Is there any way around this? It might just be that overly restrictive thing called Vista (which I have the bad luck to be using). I was considering getting a USB drive for Ubuntu anyway..

Ubuntu Installation :: Difference Between The Ubuntu Installer For Windows And The Ubuntu CD Image?

Jan 2, 2010

What is the difference between the Ubuntu Installer for windows and the Ubuntu CD image? If I use the ubuntu installer for windows, does it have the capability to partition my drive, will it enable to share files with windows etc or is it just a way not to have to burn a CD. Just curious, the exact details of the installation files were not made clear on the website. Note: Windows Version: XP, 32bit, SP3. I have not partitioned anything yet.

Ubuntu Installation :: Dual Boot Win7/ubuntu With Ubuntu On Different Disk?

Nov 19, 2010

I have windows 7 installed on Disk2 (according to windows Disk Manager), and I installed ubuntu 10.10 on Disk0, choosing the dual boot option at installation.

However, grub does not load (presumably because its on disk0 and my machine appears to boot from disk3), so the machine goes straight into windows 7.

How do I get ubuntu to load?

Ubuntu Installation :: New Ubuntu User Can't Load Ubuntu Or Windows

Oct 7, 2010

I'm currently running off of my live-cd, and after spending 4 hours of my life trying to fix this myself, i figured someone out here has to know how to help me. Basically, i wanted to try linux, then liked it enough to decide to put on one of my usb-drives (320g adata nobility NH92), and i couldn't get it to boot anything but windows w/o the live-cd, which would then boot the live-cd, lol, in other words, i couldn't get it to boot at all from the external, even though i had changed the setting in my bios to boot from usb first, and tried manually selecting boot from usb and all that fun stuff.

Sooo... eventually i decided it might be a problem with the bootloader, and while i'm not exactly sure at this point what i have done to my computer, all i can successfully boot is the live cd. When I try to boot w/o the live cd, whether i try to boot from my internal (windows) drive, or external, all i get is a device not found error.I think i could fix it if i had windows recovery cd's (i'm running xp, btw), or installation cds, but... unfortunately, they died in a terrible accident. So i have no cd's at all for windows. :/

Ubuntu :: Upgrading To 10.10 - Error "select 'Ubuntu' In The Boot Up Menu Right After The BIOS Screen: Booting ' Ubuntu 10.10, Kernel 2.6.35-25-generic'"

Feb 13, 2011

I have been running Ubuntu 10.04 under Windows 7 (Is this call WUBI?) without any problems for a while. My other machines only run Ubuntu (9.04 & 10.04). I decided to give it a try to the latest Ubuntu 10.10.

Ubuntu Networking :: Ubuntu 2 Ubuntu Via Ethernet While Still Using WiFi?

Jan 26, 2010

I'm wondering if this is even possible. I've searched high and low and have yet to find and answer to this particular setup.

The setup:
Router is in another building.
Desktop connected by WiFi
Laptop connected by WiFi
Both the Desktop and the Laptop are in the same building together. About 5' apart.

SSH server is setup on Desktop
FreeNX client is setup on Laptop

So they can connect just fine via WiFi for remote desktop control of the Desktop from the Laptop (so SSH and FreeNX are working).Is it possible to connect the 2 pc's directly to each other by Ethernet cable AND transfer files between them by Ethernet while still being connected to the Internet by WiFi on them both?Or would the WiFi have to be disabled while using the Ethernet connection?Neither has a Gigabit Ethernet NIC so I know it would at least require a crossover cable or another router to connect the 2 by Ethernet cable.The idea behind all this is to be able to transfer files between computers quickly by Ethernet while the computers are still busy doing other things on the Internet by WiFi.

3. So can anyone tell me how to remove both Ubuntu partitions safely. I am currently running WinVista with Ubuntu Lucid Lynx. I know I have to use something like this to erase GRUB2. Can anyone give me a good tutorial?

Ubuntu :: Connecting Ubuntu To Ubuntu Through VNC / Remote Desktop

Apr 19, 2011

The scenario is as follows - I will be moving across the country and my desktop will stay here powered and online, while I move with a laptop. I need a way to connect to the desktop for file streaming(music and movies) as well as using the virtual machines. I have thought about SSH and VNC.I need something failsafe. That's priority one. I won't be around to fix it if it breaks. I can set the computer to come on in the BIOS at a certain time if the power went out. But if I can get in remotely the whole setup is useless.SSH only provides terminal use, correct? So if I chose that route I would be able to access the computer via command line and play music and movies with mplayer and such, correct? But I would not be able to run the virtual machines? Because there will be no GUI, right?

I have been playing with Vinagre and Vino through the host and guest of a virtual machine and I cannot get it to connect. Is there a better application? x11vnc? I have forwarded port 5900 on the router and have upnp enabled. Got a better remote desktop suggestion?I would like to run this setup headless.(no monitor) I also would like to run it without a gpu if that is possible to make it more energy efficient.Both computers are 64 bits and will be running Ubuntu 10.10 and soon 11.04.Are these crappy ideas to begin with? Should I go another route to get my files and access the virtual machines?

Ubuntu Networking :: File Sharing - Vista Can See Ubuntu - Ubuntu Cannot See Vista

After a reinstall of 10.10, I am able to turn on file sharing and so I set up a shared folder.

Windows Vista can see this folder but in my network place, there is only one icon, and it's a "Windows Network" icon. Upon clicking on that, I can see the local network, "Rompus Room".

When I click on Rompus Room, nothing happens for a while, then I get a message saying, "Opening "ROMPUS ROOM". Then I get the final message, "Unable to mount location", followed by, "Failed to retieve share list from server"

I was running 9.10 in LiveCD mode and was unable to get online. Went to System>Administration>Hardware Drives and found "Broadcom STA wireless driver". Cool. So I went ahead and installed 9.10 (dual boot with Vista), repeated above steps but found no "Broadcom STA wireless driver" option, in fact no proprietary drivers. So I still cannot connect to the Internet, and I don't know where to go from here. (Note: I installed 9.10 side by side with Vista: good? bad?)
