Ubuntu :: Laptop Lost Shift3 As GBP Symbol?
Feb 9, 2010
All of a sudden, my elderly laptop keyboard lost its ability to reproduce the GBP symbol in text when using the normal Shift 3 combination. All the other Shift Number symbols are fine. I have looked at System-Preferences-Keyboard and have tried to select 102, 104 & 105 UK versions but all give the same response. It is not a case of a US version creeping in nor the alternative of the Euro sign. All I get is the figure 3. I have also looked at dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg which does not help either.
Now I get a sort of error message on the desktop suggesting an XKB Config malfunction and quotes an X.Org Foundation 10400090 reference number which is meaningless to me. The page also recommends sending the output of the following, if a bug report is to be made, Xprop -root- grep XKB and gconfigtool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd.
All this is above my head so if any Bright Spark out there can tell me how to proceed this bunny will be very happy. I sincerely hope that it is software and not a dodgy keyboard, I do not want to loose a dear friend!

ive made a slight mistake on my Ubuntu 9.10 64bit. I was trying to get Voodoo Motion Tracking software to work, and it was having trouble locating some Qt Libs, so I decided it was a good idea to move its included libs into /user/lib32 directory. Voodoo now works, but Skype instead comes up with:
Code:
skype: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib32/libQtDBus.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN14QObjectPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv Skype was installed using their own provided 64bit .deb - it was previously working fine.

The most recent update impacted my thunderbird-3.0. When launched I get these error messages
/usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0.3pre/thunderbird-bin: Symbol `SSL_ImplementedCiphers' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking
/usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0.3pre/thunderbird-bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libnssutil3.so.1d: undefined symbol: PL_ClearArenaPool
I can only assume the libnssutil3 library was upgraded and this broke the library call in the thunderbird-3.0.

Previously after doing aptitude upgrade, my pidgin seems broken with no gui shown. So I decided to download the latest source from pidgin website and build it from source, but I think I made situation worse because it then complained that ssl lib was needed. Then I removed the libpurple (e.g. aptitude purge libpurple0 libpurple-bin libpurple-dev) and reinstalled pidgin (aptitude install pidgin). Now it shows the error
pidgin: symbol lookup error: pidgin: undefined symbol: purple_media_element_info_get_type
I searched on the internet and can not find a solution. The clues on the internet says that's because the piding I use is the older version of libpurple. But I think I've removed all with purge and reinstalled it. Maybe some legacy binary is referenced. What or where it might be? Or where there may contain related information.

My latop has suddenly lost it's ability to see my main computer. I have changed nothing other than updates and a few non-network related program installs. The laptop is an HP Pavillion DM3 running 10.10 and the PC is a Dell XPS400 running 10.04.01. I have both Samba and folder sharing in use. I have checked all the permissions etc on the shares and in Samba and everything is as it was and should be. So I am confused. How do I get it back and why did it go away?

I just dropped my laptop while it was on. It is a dual boot vista and Ubuntu machine (9.04) and Ubuntu was running at the time. The machine didn't go down and after I got done using it I shut it down normally. Now it will not come back up because grub is saying there is something wrong with the disk geometry. It did give me a command line, I forgot the exact error message but I can look it up if needed.
I tried plugging the hard drive into a different machine under a live cd but everything was in the lost and found folder (80 GB) and the folder was unreadable. I backed up the windows partition successfully using windows explorer and now have been looking at testdisk and Stellar Phoenix Linux Data Recovery ($80) for the Linux partition. I don't know if it is ext3 or ext4, I may have bumped it up to ext4 from the default ext3 during the install. Also a few files on the windows partition were unreadable, so the disk definitely has some physical damage. I'm getting a new one along with a back up system for sure after all this is over.
I got tired of figuring out testdisk so I let the paid app run its free test overnight to see if I could recovery anything before I bought it, but it got hung up on a sector halfway through.
Going forward I think I will try Photorec next and then testdisk again if that doesn't work. Does Photorec get almost all the normal office (doc xls), music (mp3) and video files (mp4) not just pictures?

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on an Acer Aspire 6930 with an nVidia GeForce 9300m GS hooked up to my LG TV via HDMI.I have used the nVidia configuration tool to set the TV as a clone of my desktop and all appears to be working fine except for one thing.When I close my laptop lid, the TV also blanks.I know I could turn off my laptop monitor from within the nVidia config tool, but that is not what I want to do as I still use it; and besides, it's inconvenient to have to do it all the time.

Everything was working when I was on Ubuntu 9.04 but after I upgraded to 9.10 via their upgrade utility. The upgrade failed at the last point of installation (when it tried to install daemon I think). Nevertheless, after the reboot I was on ubuntu 9.10. But the sound stopped working as well as the mouse trackpad on my laptop. I remember that during the installation when it asked if I wanted to keep the old sound configuration file, I clicked yes. So is there I way to fix/reinstall the sound driver and the tackpad? In the sound hardware setting window, no device is listed. I'm pretty sure that my hardwares work on ubuntu 9.10 as the sound and trackpad work fine using the ubuntu 9.10 live CD.

I have an odd problem in that my wireless connection is okay until I close the laptop. When I open it back up, I'm unable to reconnect. This problem first occurred after upgrading to 9.10. I can reconnect after restarting. I tried several things before breaking down and reinstalling 9.04. After installing 9.04, everything works great. Any suggestions on what is going on before I try upgrading to 9.10 again? I have a Dell D600.

I've been trying to understand how Linux creates the network/interfaces on a machine (been reading the Linux admin guide), but as I'm pretty new to this subject, I've got lost in the forest.
To provide with my goal:
1.) Learn about network setups on Linux
2.) Be able to maintain my own (virtual) network
3.) Configure my (virtual) network

I'm trying to remap my Nostromo N52 using pystromo, but can't figure out how assign the key with the ~ tilde on it. Everyone knows and refers to this key as the tilde key, but I can't for the life of me find the real name of it, since the primary symbol on it is not tilde but [URL]...

I'm absolute beginner to Linux for the most part. What does the tilde mean in this situation? Code: mkdir ~/.somedir...I know the / means root directory and the dot means from here. Does the tilde mean hidden?

Saturday June 5, completely stable Ubuntu 9.2 system. Shut the system down cleanly and went on vacation for a week. Came home yesterday, booted the system, and it was running very slowly. I see at the bottom the Update Manager was open, and it had several updates available. Rebooted system and it immediately goes to a console with the error:
GRUB LOADING
error: the symbol 'grub_device_open' not found
grub rescue>
I have researched some about the grub rescue console, and it appears there are a lot of commands that do not work, such as ls. A 'set' tells me the following:
prefix=(hd0,1)/boot/grub
root=hd0,1
I'm at a loss as to where to go from here to get back into Ubuntu.

After upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10, my laptop wouldn't boot into the GUI. I followed some steps that someone had posted at was able to get X back and working. Now, my laptop lost power without being shut down. I let it fix my disks, and I'm now back in the command line and can't get X working. Here's the weird thing...in the command line, I can enter my username ok, but it won't accept my password. I've figured out that it is the @ symbol in my password that messes things up. (I figured this out because when I typed something in the username, like "test" and then hit the @ key, it erases "test". I imagine it does the same thing and erases my password.)

Does Unity have a symbol or emblem? I know Gnome has the little foot with "gnome", but does unity have one of those? If not, can we make one? I propose we/I make a thread were people post their own ideas for a symbol. If one becomes popular should we adopt it?

About 1 week ago, one of my PC's Hard Drives had stopped working. Because of that, I replaced the HD with a 2-set of Hard Disks from a earlier PC (whose Pentium 4 CPU failed). Because of a failed attempt in dual-booting with M$ WINDOW$, the MBR and Linux are separated between the hard drives. The computer booted up fine on first try (and even got into KDE), but it's internet didn't work (didn't even show eth0 on ifconfig). I decided to install some software via my old 8.04 LiveCD (I can't afford to format that PC for I have critical data on it, 0 DVDs, and no Flash drive), mounting it then chrooting it remembering to mount dev/pts sys and proc. Because the system was something old (Debian Squeeze from ~1 month ago), It had a kernel and GRUB upgrades which I missed among the ~600 others. Naturally, it failed to upgrade because of the missing /dev. Finally, I restarted my computer hoping for a upgraded PC with the programs. However, I instead got this:

I did the chown task, as root, and the file icon still has the lock symbol on it. I did it on another file on my desktop just before that, and the symbol went away.I checked 'Properties', and it shows me as owner.It's an ISO on my desktop, copied from LXF Magazine DVD.

I am running Ubuntu both native and on virtualbox on windows XP host. The problem apeared when upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04. System boots perfectly WinXP and Ubuntu. But the problem appears when I try to boot linux on virtual box. Following is the grub error:
GRUB loading.
error: the symbol 'grub_puts_' not found
grub rescue> _
I've tried to boot from alternate CD and "update-grub2" but the problem still appears.
On my office Notebook (which is absolutely the same HP nc6320) I've installed ubuntu 10.04 from scratch and it is working.
