So this guy brought a CD full of crap (audio, picture, documents) and wanted to view the content. Ubuntu mounted it but said it was a blank CD. I think Ubuntu has some problems handling CD with mixed contents based on googling, I found some several years old bug reports and threads, but they either get closed without answers or just died because no one cares to respond.
View 1 RepliesI have several websites available via both HTTP and HTTPS, with images served from a separate virtual host. This breaks in IE because the images are loaded by the CSS, and because they're in a separate Virtual Host, I have to use absolute paths in the CSS.
Example:
[URL]
Renders in IE like this:
[URL]
The issue being that the wiki.archserver.org is being served via SSL, but the header logo is served by img.archserver.org and the CSS uses the absolute path [URL] to load the logo. So, the only solutions I can see are:
1) Change the CSS to always use SSL. This will slow down the site, increase load on the server and is generally a poor-practise as a "solution"
2) Maintain 2 copies of the CSS, serving a HTTP version to HTTP requests, and HTTPS version to HTTP. This creates a management overhead which is less than desirable.
3) Create an Alias in Apache to send requests for [URL] to [URL] internally then rewriting the CSS to use relative paths.
4) Screw IE; it works in Firefox, Chrome and every other browser AFAIK. The sites are for a Linux project anyway.
I have huge files, wherein some lines begin with a number. I want to convert that number to a bookmark link
Sample file:
Code:

2 legal, then peace
3 is sometimes
4 sinful.
Text without numbers toom I need the numbers to be <a name tags where the id is the letter x and the number that is at the beginning of the line:

View 4 Replies View Relatedmy friend has a dell inspiron 4600 desktop that we recently install ubuntu on to replace windows xp on. now when we try to play some hd videos in vlc player it's pretty low frame rate but i'm not sure why. if we play 720p on videos it's pretty low frame rate too. in windows xp he could play these videos flawlessly. we tried installing a nvidia driver but it stops the desktop from working. in 10.04 the driver installed fine, however, in 10.10 after installing the driver on next boot it would start up at just a terminal. not a terminal window but just a black screen with white text on the entire monitor. i could only fix it by editing the xorg.conf changing a field that said "device: nvidia" to "device: nv". that driver may also be causing a problem.
if i cannot find a solution we will reinstall windows xp which i rather not do because i think ubuntu runs better. also, we installed xubuntu-desktop package so we are running xfce instead of gnome.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAlright ... recently switched from Ubuntu with FF 4.0 to Debian with Iceweasel which I had to upgrade to 4.0 since I really liked the way it worked on Ubu 10.10 ... but I'm having some really strange rendering issues. Flash is not a problem at all, works fine on all flash sites that I've checked out. Some sites though, including this Debian forum, do not show everything in the Iceweasel browser window.
For example, sometimes I'll be browsing on a page with huge chunks of white, clearly indicating that "something" should be in those spaces. When I look at those same pages with Chrome or Opera, everything is filled the way it should be ... all content is displaying properly.
On some sites, like this forum, the rendering is even worse because not only do some items not show up, but in addition most of the links don't work at all. For example, if I use Iceweasel 4.0 to look at the board index of this forum, I can't click on any of the links, not the links in the main sections anyway. If I open up Chrome (that's what I'm using to write this) or Opera, the problem is gone.
What the heck is going on, does anyone know? Is this an Iceweasel bug? Am I missing some package update? I'd hate to have to switch my preferred browser just because this weirdness is going on. At first I thought it was a fluke, specific to a site or two only, but at this point I've seen these rendering issues on about 10 sites ...

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've just spent the past two days trying to figure out how to convert an NRG image to BIN/CUE format. I've found all kinds of info on how to convert it to ISO. I've tried lots of different packages (K3B, Brasero, AcetoneISO...). No luck.
My NRG is an image of an old DOS game I want to play in DOSBox. The catch is that it's mixed-mode, so converting to ISO is not a possibility. DOSBox will mount BIN/CUEs, so that seems the route to go. But while K3B supports creating mixed-mode CDs, it doesn't read NRG images. And while AcetoneISO will mount the NRG, only the data track is accessible; the audio tracks aren't.
When the summer-holidays are a fact and it's time for some fun I will be upgrading my home network with a diskstation of some kind, and since all models I currently looks at supports 10/100/1000 M/Bit networking it got me thinking.
My desktop also supports 10/100/1000 M/Bit networking and since I already uses a 10/100 M/Bit switch between my desktop and (file)server, it would be very easy to buy a new switch that also supports 1000 M/Bit networking and then connect the diskstation to that switch as well. But the router the new switch will be connected to is only running 10/100 M/Bit so the question is, at what speed will the new switch be running?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have installed KDE from the Ubuntu Software Center. Now I have the following... well, I wont call them problems, rather just annoyances.
1. The mouse pointer is KDE's pointer (I presume) in both interfaces.
2. I have mixed applications in the menus of both GNOME and KDE... GNOME has KDE's stuff and KDE has GNOME's stuff.
3. The Ubuntu screen at shutdown turned to Kubuntu regardless of being in GNOME.
The first and last one is not much of a problem for me, but is there a way of restoring each interface's default menu items? Since I know what I manually installed, I can just enable them again in Main Menu of Administration in GNOME and in KDE wherever that setting will be. If not, can someone maybe just give me a menu list in text or pics (ok, I know this might be asking a lot) so I can at least only have GNOME stuff in GNOME and KDE in KDE.
not matter is it Firefox or Opera.. I sometimes have problem after closing tab, in which I watched some flash video ( mostly ........

So I open video in new tab... watch it ( sometimes whole, sometimes just part..) and sometimes, when I close that tab, I have problems with that part of screen, where that video was - system wide..

I have to take picture with digital camera, since print screen points correct image, so that means that I have either monitor, or GPU problem.. (No problem on Windows 7, and I think no problem with Compiz beta, but alot of other bugs with compiz beta) This is how it should look:
When I opened those images on ubuntu, I wanted to crop them.. I noticed that some flash video, in background.. not the flash, but that last image frame only.. So how I move image viewer, that image stays in same place - that is the place where I have problem.. Here are images on that :...

The system seems to run fine without issues.
I can temporarily resolve the issue (untill next boot) by doing a lazy umount and a new mount of for example the /usr.I found a thread that something has changed in the way df presents the devices, however it is not consistent in our case (it shows a mix of both) and it seems to go wrong at an earlier stage during boot.Either show all dm devices or mapper devices is fine with me although I have a slight preference for the mapper names as it makes it more obvious LVM is being used.

Both my printers can't print more that one page on the row whatever the application I use.
I used to have a all-in-one printer HP PSC 1510 that I installed without any trouble.
A few days ago, I've got another scanner-printer HP 1050 that I tried to install on the same laptop in order to use it in another place. I had to take the new version of HP-lip, since 11.3 did not provide the right driver. I just printed the test page and it seemed okay.
Then, I upgraded from 11.3 to 11.4. And I had to print a long document. Only the first page was displayed correctly. All the following pages are more and more mixed up. It prints allways the same paragraph with big dark lines...
Following to cup, the drivers in use are :
Deskjet_1050_J410 : HP Deskjet 1050 j410 Series, hpcups 3.11.3a
PSC-1500-series : HP PSC 1500 Series, hpcups 3.10.2rc1.9
But the trouble is the same for both printers.
I can't guess if it comes from HP-lip or from my upgrade.
Yesterday, I had the problem where I would browse to linuxpc2 and it would send me to linuxpc5. Theses computers are on my AD domain (server2003), so I decided to set a dhcp reservation on the server and del /var/lib/dhcpcd/*.* This fixed 1 of the 3 linuxpcs that had mixed up or matching ip addresses. What is happening now, and I've never seen this happen before, maybe it's a server thing, I'm not a huge network guy, so here it goes... from the server I can brows with the explorer to linuxpc2 and all is well, it's IP is 192.168.0.150, but when I ping it, or do anything command line (ping linuxpc2) it pings the address 192.168.0.101 (it's old address). From a linux box browsing to smb://linuxpc2 shows me no shares, and ping goes to ...101 address. If I brows to smb://192.168.0.150, all is well and ping 192.168.0.150 is fine also. What could be causing this? only 2 of my 8 linuxpcs are doing this. all installed and configured within the same day using suse 11.1 and updated.

I have a multi-boot system in my MSI Wind netbook that includes Win xp home, Ubuntu, and another Linux distro. The internal HD is 160gb, but most of it isn't used. I just bought a 60gb SSD, and would like to use it as the primary disk in my netbook. I would like to clone the Win xp and Ubuntu volumes to the SSD, which would leave me plenty of space, even if I added another distro later. With gparted, I can see that there is an initial logical volume of about 4gb (dev/sda1) with 775mb used, and by mounting and checking it I can see that it has a boot folder in it. It is formatted as ext3 (no flags). I don't understand the MBR concept very well, so I'm wondering if this is where the MBR is stored. The next volume is my Windows volume and is formatted NTFS with a boot flag. Subsequent volumes are clearly Linux volumes, including swapfile volumes. I have already formatted the SSD as NTFS, but as of yet haven't added any partitions.
(1) How do I clone the volumes I want onto the SSD? (Presumably with dd or a similar utility).
(2) Does the destination volume have to be initially set to be the same as the source volume?
(3) Do I need that first partition or would a new one automatically be created if I reinstall Ubuntu or any Debian-based distro from scratch or use a utility to fix the MBR?
