Ubuntu :: Naming Workspaces Works In 9.10 But Not In 10.04
May 26, 2010
How can I make workspaces have names under 10.04? Under 9.10 I can given different workspaces different names, under 10.04 I can't. Workspace-switcher-preferences has less options.
I have a number of partitions, each having an icon on the Desktop.However, they are only referred to by size of partition. What I would like to do is give them a relevant name, e.g. photos, MP3s, etc.My fstab uses UUIDs. Can I change the names while using these to refer to the partitions?
I have 4 SATA hard drives, and they are named sda, sdb, sdc and sdd. My problem is that the drives always randomly switch between these names when I restart my system. It is not really a problem as far as mounting, because I use the UUID option. I'm using the sensors applet to monitor the temps of the hard drives, and I can never tell which one is which, because the drive names are always changing.Is there any way to have the drives named the same way every time?
I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 on my desktop and the 70-persistent-net.rules file seems to be ignored. The ethernet interfaces are randomly shuffled around on boot (i have 4 interfaces). The original one was configured to have a static IP address (eth0). Is there anything that prevents the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules from being applied/used?
I have got a question about some terms in Debian package name, for example: 1:9.6.ESV.R3+dfsg-0+lenny1 What do ESV, R3 and lenny1 mean? I can't find information about it anywhere...
I have scanner working nicely, but...When I launch xsane, the scanning for devices upsets my tv-tuner.Xsane accepts a device name in the command line, but how to put it there?sane-find-scanner gives:found USB scanner (vendor=0x04e8, product=0x341b) at libusb:003:003found USB scanner (vendor=0x0c45, product=0x602d) at libusb:002:002
After upgrade to 10.04, my disks are randomly named (sda, sdb, sdc) at each boot. My drive labeled "XP" is sometimes named "sdb" and sometimes "sdc", while my other drive "DATA" is respectively "sdc" or "sdb". This wasn't the case before upgrade with KUbuntu 9.10.
Due to this random naming, my auto-mount in fstab often fail at boot time !
Any solution for this (not found here by myself) ?
Is this linked to Grub troubles reported many times here ?
During installation when i set the partitions i have to provide a Name and a Label. What is the difference of these? It looks like only one should be needed. Any problems of using the same name for both?
I'm doing a few tests with fedora 15. I'm surprised because they changed the naming way on network devices. eth0 is now called em1.At every fedora I have found the configuration files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, but today I can't find them.
Need help on how the scsi and multipathing works in Linux. From the docs i have read, i understand that by the use of multipathing we can assign multiple paths to a SAN partition. If there is a problem then one path will failover to other path.However, i am not clear on how linux recognizes the SAN partitions using the multipath drivers. For e.g. I have a HP Proliant server on which we have the following mounts:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 59G 11G 46G 20% / /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 494M 27M 443M 6% /boot
I have a problem defining persistent device naming on a Debian Lenny server.I have:RAID1 controller on the server machine with two SCSI disks.external storage with RAID5. I have / mount on the first partition on the server SCSI disk and /storage mount on the external storage.
I'm experiencing a problem: The system recognizes the system disk (RAID 1), as sda or sdb - randomly.I want: To control the recognition, and tell the system that sda (sda1) will always be the system disk.The motivation: GRUB is configured to work with sda, and when the system disk doesn't, boot process fails, and I end up in the initramfs shell-like interface.

I just installed Fedora 12 and grub is not working for me. I have 2 physical drives, and installed Fedora on sdb (win xp is on sda). I picked the option that the computer booted from sdb when I installed. I then went and switched the boot order in the bios so that the computer would boot from sdb. Now Fedora boots fine, but when I try to boot into windows I just get a blinking cursor. I tried booting to windows manually (via picking that drive from the bios options) and that works fine.
I tried to edit grub.conf, but wasn't sure how to address the appropriate hard drive. How do I know what to fill in? The linux drive is (hd0,0), and grub tried to make windows (hd1,0). How do I know what to put in (hdx,y) for the windows partition? Grub tells me I have a /boot partition so everything is relative to that.If I'm way off base, please let me know. Is there a way I can just re-run grub so that it looks for everything anew? I also looked at device.map and sda is hd0.---------- Post added at 02:42 PM CDT ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 PM CDT ----------If it helps, this is my grub.conf:
i have a centos 5.5 server running tomcat,oracle xe,apache etc..i would like to be able my windows machine to access this server by name, and not ip, for example have http://backserv:7080 for oracle xe web admin and so on..i know one way is DNS, but if i install oracle on a windows machine in peer-to-peer network, i can allready access with by it's name. o i'm guessing i should do something with samba, wins or something like that.never mind i got now for the REAL complex stuff of insalling web sphere 7 without user interface (need to look for a response file).
I am using a QLA2462 and have got FC storage attached through a brocade switch. As soon when I add more storage for this server on this switch my device naming shifts and this new storage comes in between e.g. as sdb, and the other 2 go to sdc and sdd. I looked around but I can't find a good solution for SuSe 11.2.
Where would i find the list of distribution codes.For example.Code:samba-32bit-3.4.2 -1.1.3.1.x8664.rpmIn above rpm file it is indicated that its release is 1.1.3.1 .The rpm is meant to be run for opensuse.Where would i get the linking of release number and In simple words How would i guess distribution by merely looking at rpm name?

I'm writing a script for asterisk to monitor trunk failure, i do a loop for every trunk it got nad would like to name variable like server1=, server2= naming the server upgoing as the trunk is. here is the scripts:
[Code]....
what i would like to do is name the variable server, username and status with the count variable, like this server$COUNT to have server1 when on trunk one, bu as soon as i add the $COUNT after the server, it seems to try to make it a command, it says that:
Code: ./test.sh: line 45: server1=74.63.41.218: command not found
I have VNC set up on my desktop. I would like to set it up so that I can sit on my desktop and do things while someone else connects on VNC on one of the other workspaces and do things. Is this possible? I know it sounds weird.
I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop. I've got access to both the Netbook Edition and the Desktop Edition, so I tried booting into the Desktop Edition since I prefer to use this.
Within it, I cannot use Alt-Tab to move between multiple windows. I don't have access to moving between workspaces; rather weirdly, I can move a window to a different workspace by right clicking on the application and selecting to move it to a different workspace but I cannot use Ctrl-Alt-Right or Left to move between workspaces, nor can I use Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Left or Right to move a window from one workspace to another.
I have checked the Keyboard Shortcuts under the System->Preferences side. Alt-Tab, Ctrl-Alt-Right/Left and Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Right/Left are all set as the commands for Moving between Windows using the popup window, moving to the right/left workspace and moving a window to the right/left workspace respectively.
I've seen a lot of people saying that they have problems when they've got compiz installed and alt-tab causes problems with this, but I don't have compiz installed.
Since I used sudo apt-get upgrade -d from my old 10.04 Netbook Edition, am I missing packages to correctly run the Desktop Edition?
Note: Within the Netbook Edition, I can use multiple workspaces and Alt-Tab does work, but the UI is very slow and causes the system to lag whenever I open an application.
I have been told it is possible to alt tab programs on different workspaces. The people that have done this on kde 3. How do you enable this on kde 4? I would really like to use this feature.
I just installed 10.04 couple hours ago and i installled compiz and i had my desktop in a 3d cube and i could rotate it and stuff i had it all workingthen...i think i mashed some buttons idk what i did but now i can't switch workspaces at all. Ctrl-alt- and left click doesnt work ctrl-alt- arrow keys dont work i cant swtich workspaces. the only way i can is to use the work space switcher on the panel...compiz says i have the cube enabled and i have 4 workspaces and all that i just can't rotate the desktop. the keyboard shortcuts are still there i just dont know why i they aren't working
if i can change the workspace switcher in ubuntu 11.04 to have only i horizontal row..without a second tier so that i can change my workspaces just my scroll action using compizconfig settings manager.
