Ubuntu :: Keeping Track Of Working Hours?
Sep 21, 2010
I would like to have a way to keep track of my working hours easily.
Insert arrival and finish times and have the difference in decimal. For example, if I start at 8:00 and finish at 9:30, 1.5 should be added.
I tried to do this with Calc but couldn't figure it out. I set one column to have entrance time, another one to have exit time and a third one with the difference("=B2-C2"). The result is in a timestamp format and not decimal. If I use another cell to say something like HOURS(D2) it rounds the number rather than give a decimal(would give 9 for 9:20:00).
EDIT: solved by doing =24*(B2-C2)

I would like to keep track of not only what bash commands I used and when, but also where they were issued from, i.e. what was the current working directory when I issued "foobar" on a particular day and time. Can we ask bash history to keep track of working directories too? I have tried to get an idea of this reading the enormous "man bash", but I don't seem to have an answer yet either way.

I am starting a small business for computer repair and was wondering if there is any software available for entering and keeping track of service calls. Right now I am using Kmymoney for keeping track of finances and it seems to be working out ok. I also use day planner to keep track of appointments. However, I haven't found anything to keep track of service calls. Currently, I am pretty much trying to adapt spreadsheets as a "get by" solution but its not that pretty.

the data usage information from the carrier is often several hours old and is accessed in some arcane ways (logging into their website, sending a specific SMS message at best). Here's my idea: single-session data usage is perfectly reported by ifconfig ppp0. The problem is, how tokeep track of previous sessions accumulate the numbers rollover to zero at specified date To be able to do this across computers means that one needs to store it on the modem/SIM card itself. (As a specially crafted SMS message, or a contact).

Is there some blog, changelog, or place where i can track what issues get fixed in the opensuse gnome 3 implementation, or what features are bein added, what changes are bein made, etc.?For example, if there is some bug in opensuse with gnome 3, where can i read that it has been fixed in the dd/mm update, or that new feature xxxyyy was added in dd/mm update, etc.Im talking about issues, fixes, updates related to gnome 3 with opensuse. Not just opensuse with 2xgnome or kde.

Running ubuntu 10.04.The sound works perfectly when I first boot the computer.hen when I go idle and come back a few hours later, it stops working.Not sure why. Also, another side effect I noticed is that video sometimes fails to play after the sound has stopped working.Killing pulseaudio will restore video playback, but restarting does not restore sound.

I have had an on going problem with my system and Mangler. I use a creative usb fatality headset. When I am in Windows it works fine for ventrilo. If I boot into Linux and load up Mangler I can get it to work, but then after a while no one can hear me, but I can hear them and the Mangler icon in the system tray turns yellow instead of green. I have the audio settings in Mangler set for my USB head set.
My head set will consistintly work in Audacity. When I go into the pulse audio settings and set the drop box down to my head set it will show default audio every time I go back into the audio settings. If I reboot then plug in the headset and then reste the drop down to head set it will work. If I open a game or something it will close sometimes other times I think it just takes time. I have had the same propblem on Ubuntu 10.04, Kubuntu 10.10, and openSUSE 11.4.

I play MMOs and need to be able to communicate in ventrilo with the guild and groups that I am in. I have never had any problems making windows games work in WINE as long as the appDB says they are good to go, but I have had an ongoing problem with Mangler in a few distros.

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on an AMD64 computer with an ATI Raedon x1250 graphics card.
Everything runs fine for about 3 hours, then it will randomly stop working.
Symptoms:
Mouse stops moving for 10 seconds.
Screen goes white.
Speakers start repeating last 10 seconds of whatever was playing.
Screen goes orange or purple with lines across it and random symbols...
At that point I hardware restart my computer and all is fine again
dmesg yields the following after every crash

Periodically, about 3 to 5 hours, Ubuntu disconnects from my wi-fi network and doesn't reconnect until I restart the router.This is an Ubuntu specific issue, since it doesn't happen when I boot into my Windows partition, and it doesn't happen to other computers on the network.

I was liking 10.4 in Virtual Box so much that I installed it to my laptop and then, after a very good experience, upgraded my other two Ubuntu machines. One went well, but this other one - the oldest - that has been on Ubuntu for years, is having trouble. The upgrade dialog is predicting another 12 hours and it's been at least 12 hours already. The log is moving swiftly and shows no sign of trouble.

I have been battling with my machine for a while now, it cannot go 24 hours without freezing, I leave it on at night and in the morning it is frozen. I want to use it as a content server to my mobile devices but I have to be home to use it because it always needs a reset. I did a memtest and there were many errors, I realized that my ram voltages were under the min req. I boosted the voltage and ran memtest for 48 hours, no errors. This machine used to be stable for over two years, same hardware, I switched the case and now it wont last a day.
I am running 10.10 64bit, I would post log files but I dont know which one would be useful. I believe it becomes unstable when the screensaver activates. Also sometimes it wont fully boot but will go to the command line and other times it will give random error messages when grub is trying to load. Every week I solve one problem and then something else goes wrong. I have been using ubuntu since hardy on this machine and only lately (10.04 & 10.10) have the problems been occurring.

I've seen a problem staying connected to a Cisco VPN, this goes back a number of years.I was running 8.10 and it was fine.After I moved to 9.10, the problem started happening.My VPN connection to work would drop after 8 hours.I looked around for a while and ended up compiling the cisco provided client which works fine (but is a pain).I've been running 9.10 on my work laptop, and it experiences the same problem using vpnc, but I've been dealing with it because it's easier than using the Cisco client.
I installed 10.04 on my work desktop, my home desktop, and a personal laptop that was previously running 8.10, and all experience the same problem with vpnc.I even go so far as to keep one terminal open with a constant ping all day and it still drops after about 8 hours. A couple of others at work experience the same problem using vpnc. This is not a problem using the Cisco provided client, or running it on windows or os/x.Has anybody else seen this, or have any ideas on what I can start looking for to get this addressed?

I've a new Dell Precision T1500, Core i5, 8gb RAM, nvidia graphics card, that seems to freeze after some hours. I'm not sure how long exactly, more than two hours at least.
OS: Ubuntu 11.04
Cause: leave computer turned on, unattended for some time >2hrs.
Symptom: Screens are blank, no response to keyboard or mouse input, reboot is only way to rectify.
Things I've tried:Turn off screen saver
Disable "Sync to VBlank"
Disable screen power management, screen stays "on" always
So far none of these have corrected the issue. The screens are still on, but there is nothing displayed. Same thing did happen with Ubuntu 10.10, I'd hoped maybe 11.04 would fix it, alas, no.

I have a new PC with 9.10 desktop . It's running Zoneminder. For some reason it will not run more than 24 hours with out locking up . It's set up stand alone with no screen or keyboard. I hacked the vga port with 3 resistors so remote desktop works. I did this on 2 other systems and it always works fine. I want to ask where can I look in the logs to try and find out why this beast dies after just before 24 hours of run time.

I have a Ubuntu 10.04 box that I want to keep on Eastern Standard Time. Under the Time & Date GUI I select the correct time zone, put it in Manual mode, set the time and it is fine until I reboot. Then the clock advances one hour about 20 seconds after boot. I don't remember this happening a month ago before DST started. Does anyone know of a way to keep the beast on EST, not EDT?

I am unsure if this is a hardware problem or a linux problem. My machine is only 3 months old so it is not the fan. I didn't have problems until recently, and after the latest kernel update it got worse - having to restart more frequently.
I do not experience the fan turning off in windows. I use thinkfan when I have to but it isn't a very good program for an every day basis. The fact I can force start the fan with thinkfan when it turns off leads me to believe it is a kernel issue.

I have a minor Internet issue. I have a static IP address with the modem acting as a gateway only to my ISP. My Ubuntu server hosts my public IP address and I use pppoeconf to connect. Every 3 hours I lose Internet. I have wrote a short script to reconnect. I doubt that it is my ISP trying to renew that often.

Was curious about keeping a running system up to date. Can any harm come from running the following:sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get upgradeWhat I mean is, is it possible that doing the above could cause a perfectly healthy system to go foobar? If so, what's the best way to prepare a system for a recovery. The Server in question is a Hardy BIND server. In the past, I've seen some ugly things happen to Windows systems after running updates, so I'd like to err on the side of caution.

i have 10.04 installed through wubi on my school hard drive and i notice that after i turn it off, then later put it in one of the many computers, firefox seems to forget i had things to keep me logged in, such as this forum.
now it could be that i use it on different computers(all have the same hardware), but its just odd if you ask me this doesn't get in the way of use but is happening.
Code:
Linux ubuntu 2.6.32-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 28 13:28:05 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I want to download KDE to run on Ubuntu Maverick, as well as keep Gnome.
I tried:
sudo apt-get install kde-minimal
But that package no longer exists. So, what is the KDE-Core (which doesn't exist anymore either) package now? Where do I go to search for current packages? I've looked in Launchpad, but that's more to add repositories and track bugs.

I've recently moved from Ubuntu (after moving from Gentoo and Arch) to Fedora 15 and am experiencing some crashing.
What happens is after a few hours or not particularly hard usage (web browser, a couple of terminals, maybe having run a few Ant scripts etc) all the fans seem to go into serious overdrive. I can't move the mouse and the system doesn't respond to any keyboard input. After about five minutes of this, the fans slow down but the system remains unresponsive. I've left it for a further 30 minutes, still nothing so I have to do a hard reset.
My hardware is a stock laptop Compal IFL90. Besides the standard installed software, the only other things I've installed are;
- Sun JDK (and Eclipse, but not running during crash)
- Pogo Plug software (pogoplugfs which is started on login)
- Cryptkeeper for my encfs stuff
- Opera
Can anyone point me to a possible fix, or let me know what other information is needed to try and get more complete support? It's not to much of a problem at the moment, but when I start using my laptop more frequently, having to power cycle every few hours is going to make is to difficult to use.
