Ubuntu One :: Syncdaemon Taking 100% Cpu
Jul 26, 2011
I know other threads have raised similar issues to mine but I haven't been able to find in them a solution to my problem...
My laptop cannot complete its Ubuntu One sync - the syncdaemon never stops running at 100%. After a few hours, I give up and kill it off.
It writes large amounts to .cache/ubuntuone/log/syncdaemon.log for a while but then stops writing anything, even though it continues running at 100%.
Whilst it is working so hard (doing nothing?), the file manager is virtually unusable.
The problem started when I (a) installed Magicicada and (b) added another 700Mb folder to my synced folders.
My desktop PC doesn't have this problem. They are both very similar Ubuntu installations except it has a conventional hard disk whereas the problem laptop has SSD.

The previous writer gave instructions for editing fstab. He said to enter something like the following line in fstab:
/dev/hdb1 /media/harddrive ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro,users,user_xattr,user 0 0
My partition is: /dev/sda7.
I created a folder in media: /media/8g
The file system is: ext2 (Do I need the "defults" instruction? What does this do?)
errors=remount-ro (I think I understand this)
[Code]....
He also said, after this was all done, to enter the command: sudo mount /media/[my new partition]
Since it's already mounted? What does this command accomplish?

I've recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 (dual boot with Windows 7) and whilst the Live CD was a breeze, after installation, Ubuntu is taking close to 20 minutes sometimes to load.
I've dual booted before with 9.04 on other machines and haven't had a single problem

So, I read a lot of PDFs and I would like to be able to take notes on it and export as a pdf so it can be read by other PDF viewers. I've read a few older posts about this and xournal sounded like a good option. I've tried whytboard a little and didn't really seem like what I wanted. I also like zotero for research stuff and the note taking they have for webpage SS and documents is GREAT but I haven't been able to get pdf to work for note taking or maybe it isn't implemented yet? If there was a way to make Zotero notes to work with pdf that would be perfect!
Also, its been a few years since the last pdf notes post that I could find, what are people using these days? any noteworthy programs?

If I try to use any other package or software management tool this is what it tells me, basically I think that ubuntu tweek has taken over and will not allow anything to update the system any more pls help?
Check if you are currently running another software management tool, e.g. Synaptic or aptitude. Only one tool is allowed to make changes at a time.

I am using VLC 1.1.9 on a Dell Latitude D600 with Ubuntu 11.04 and it is taking over my system. Every time I try to open a folder or a file VLC opens instead. I can dig down from "computer" to the folder or file but every other item from the "places" drop down menu will open VLC even if the folder is empty or contains non media files. I uninstalled VLC and the problem disappeared - naturally - but reappeared as soon as I reinstalled VLC. This doesn't happen on my AspireOne which also runs Ubuntu 11.04. Other than hardware,the only difference in the two machines that I can think might affect it is that the Dell has an upgraded version from Maverick whereas the netbook has a clean install of Naty. My only other thought was that is this an Intel / AMD thing as the Aspire has the netbook standard intel gfx chipset whilst the D600 uses an old ATI 9000 series gfx chipset and I did have to install some AMD 2d libs to get it to run smoothly. However I think that might be grasping at straws.

I know in Fedora one can take screenshots during actual installation of the OS with Shift+Printscreen keys on the keyboard and then can access them as root in the folder /root/anaconda-screenshots. So how do I do the same while installing Ubuntu?

I've been experiencing a weird delay between me pressing the printscreen key and the screenshot dialog appearing. The delay is about one second, and is happening even though gnome-screenshot's delay key is set to zero in gconf-editor. This delay is making it difficult to capture things which disappear quickly, and I'd like to know if there's any way to make the screenshot dialog appear instantly.

I am currently using backtrack 4, the wireless works flawlessly right out of the box on this distro for my broadcom 4311 card. I was wondering if theres a way to steal the wireless driver right out of it and put it in another lighter weight distro.

I recently made the dumb mistake of using tar to make a backup of my "/" on my "/" when my "/" didn't have near enough space to store the backup. I received a warning message, so I canceled the terminal process and used nautilus to delete what amount of the backup had already been saved. That didn't seem to free up any space on my "/" like it should have, though. In an effort to find any hidden trash files that needed to be deleted, I used this terminal command:

When i log in, i used to be able to be able to start doing things on my desktop straight away. Now when i log in, it takes about 8 seconds for the panel to appear etc. I looked at startup applications and the problem isnt in there i believe, as i have less running than what comes with a fresh install.

I'm making a tutorial for a program and it involves me screen shooting dropdown menus, however this is inpossible with the screenshot software in ubuntu.
to reproduce this click on "system" and try to take a screenshot of the dropdown.
currently my way around this is to "record" my desktop using ffmpeg, however i wonder if there is a better alternative way?

I have an issue with crontab that I can't resolve even though I searched the web like crazy. I tried to create a new cron job for taking a screenshot automatically every minute with scrot using "crontab -e" like so...
Code:
* * * * * /usr/bin/scrot ~/screenshots/screen\%G-\%T.png > ~/log.txt
when I run it in my shell it does work fine and it seems to run with cron also because the log.txt file is modified every minute, however when I run it through cron the screenshots don't appear in the screenshots directory and nowhere else either.
Other jobs in the same crontab run very well. It doesn't seem to be a PATH issue because the paths are complete.

I do use a virtualization environment using VirtualBox,Qemu. Many a times I have to format my laptop then in such situations installing again the previous programs and making same changes to the configurations is very painful. Is there some way I can make some sort of backup which I just need to install on my existing system and get all previous things immediately installed without going to install and setting of a lot of other applications and settings.

The find command is taking too long on my machine to complete. When I use time command, I find that sys time and user time are too small as compared to real time. Is my find process not getting scheduled properly?
I interrupted the neverending find command and got the following statistics:
Real time : 5min
Sys time : 1.1 sec
User time : 3 sec
I was running
find / -name ls 2>/dev/null

I have just installed Ubuntu for the first time using a USB drive and everything went fine during installation. However now during the boot phase I see 10 or so lines of
[14.24024] ata5: COMRESET failed (error=-16)
The numbers prior to COMRESET change with each line but the rest remains the same. I am extremely new to Ubuntu or Linux for that matter as this boot process is also taking about 3-4 or even 5minutes as it slowly cycles through each error. Once 10 or so lines have popped up the computer finishes starting and I can log in fine and everything.

I have just made a clean install of Ubuntu 9.10 and after installing all updates, GDM is taking a long time (about one minute) to come up after a clean boot, resulting in a regular console prompt.
If I issue "sudo service gdm start" it does come up promptly.
What can I do? Where can I see startup logs to try and identify any problems?

I am a newbie to Linux, and so just installed Ubuntu.. for the first week all was fantastic, but now, everything has slowed down. It seems to run fine for a few minutes and then everything slows down. I try and drag a window or open a menu, type, anything, and it takes forever! Also the internet seems to stop working on a regular basis. I have checked processes to see if there was anything happening and one of the processors was sitting at 100%, but no actual processes in the list seemed to be using any processing power at all!

I am attempting to install 10.10 from a usb stick after a disc installation failed, but it is taking forever. I am stuck on the screen which says 'Ubuntu 10.10' and has four little orange dots flashing as if it is loading. It has been like this for over 20 minutes now. Is this unusual or is it normal? Anyway, I am restarting my PC and trying again.
