I'm using natty on a fresh install. Is there a way to disable the syncing of open files ? When working on a document, I tend to save every time I make a small change to the file. U1 tries to sync the file every time, but sometimes I resave new changes before the previous syncing is complete, resulting in conflicts with the cloud version of the file, sometimes downloading back an already outdated version of the file I'm working on (in addition to the various .u1conflict files created in my folder). I think a sensible behaviour would be to (be able to) wait until the file is closed to start the syncing
Is it possible to sync .avi, .ovg and .ogg files using ubuntu one? It is not working for me and there are no help pages at one.ubuntu.com about supported file types.
I'm looking for a program that I can use to sync files between two computers. I have a laptop that travels around with me and I want a simple way of transferring the new/changed files to the desktop computer. I'm looking for something that would be simple and quick (point & click) to transfer/backup:photosKDE PIM (emails, ontacts and calender)documentsmusic etc.

When I try to open any nfs-mounted file using OpenOffice, I get a pop-up window titled "Document in Use". The text of the message is:
"Document file 'abcde.odt' is locked for editing by:
Unknown User
Open document read-only or open a copy of the document for editing." I then have three options - <Open Read-Only>, <Open Copy>, & <Cancel> If I cp any of these files from the mounted directory to my home dir (not mounted), I can open them without problem.Also, my firefox & thunderbird date are in this mounted directory as well (sym links to ~dan/.mozilla & ~dan/.thunderbird). Both of these apps hang when trying to open, leaving two processes behind that need to be manually killed. Again, cp'ing the data out of the nfs-mounted dir onto a local dir resolves the issue, so I am 100% confident there is nothing missing or corrupted in the firefox &/or thunderbird data...
relevant entry in /etc/fstab: server:/nfs/dan/Documents /home/dan/Documents nfs defaults 0 0 relevant entry in server's /etc/exports: /nfs/dan/Documents client(rw)
I have a while(1) loop, and the error is: glibtop: open (/proc/stat): Too many open files This error occurs after about a half hour to an hour of running. I've tried running this multiple times, both with using glib_close() at the end of the loop, using glib_init() and glib_close() at beginning/end, and just using glib_init(). The strange thing is these have no effect on the actual glib_get functions.

How do you convert Open Office (ODT) documents to Text files? I have made a report using libre office. Now I wish to continue editing the document using lyx (latex front end). So the ODT file needs to be saved as some .tex file.
I don't see an option to do this in File menu (export/save as). So is there any other plugin to do this?
I just installed the nmap for port scanning and then run ./configure , make , make install command respectively. It works and then I successfully installed nmap under /usr/local/bin . nmap is a executable file not .exe . so my question is how can I open it .
I am giving 10.04RC a try instead of Windows 7, so far so good. I can connect to my network shares fine using "Connect to a Server" & bookmark with the file browser, however when I use OpenOffice writer Spreadsheet to open/save files the shares disappear in the"Open/Places". Is this a bug in Ubuntu or Open Office? Is there an update/fix?
I get errors like this, all the time: End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. zipinfo: Cannot find zipfile directory in one of /tmp/wlsetup-web.exe or /tmp/wlsetup-web.exe.zip, and cannot find /tmp/wlsetup-web.exe.ZIP, period.

I had lost my emails and contact after using Evolution. some of forum user recommended to use photorec to recover all the files. I used and have stored all the files in a folder. Now my problem is there are over 1500 folders and in there over thousand and thousand of text files. How should I recognize which folder contains email and contacts and how to import to Evolution ?

I have both Windows and Ubuntu on my laptop and I need to access the windows program files via Ubuntu (windows don't start). The problem is that the program files folder appears to be empty. Is there any way to retrieve data from ubuntu?
I have a few .txt files that when opened in gedit give me an error "Could not open the file - gedit has not been able to detect the character encoding" HOWEVER, I can see some of the contents of the files (a few words) in the icon preview in nautilus. Also, I can open these documents in notepad (using wine) though I'd prefer to use gedit.
These might not all be txt files. I know one is directory of important phone numbers that was in some obscure format that could only be opened on a nokia phone.
I've got a strange problem with clamdscan. I'm intending to use it alongside the Anomy sanitizer, so I've set up a directory /var/spool/sanitizer with owner clamav. Clamdscan refuses to scan anything in this directory, claiming it can't open any of the files despite it running as the owner of the files. It can scan some files in other directories, although there doesn't seem to be much pattern as to which files will scan.
This is a fresh install of Ubuntu server 10.04.1, using bog-standard packages.
Code: $ clamdscan /var/spool/sanitizer/at2-order.pdf-4c9b713b.9X /var/spool/sanitizer/at2-order.pdf-4c9b713b.9X: Can't open file or directory ERROR ----------- SCAN SUMMARY ----------- Infected files: 0
Since upgrading to 11.04 I am finding that Okular gives an error message on every file that I try open with it. I have just installed the latest update and it still reports that it is unable to open the file. Even a file on the desktop gave the same error.
While trying to install Cinelerra on Ubuntu 10.10, I copied/moved around some of the .so modules located under /usr/lib. Now I find that I cannot open JPG images - Image Viewer will give me the following error (see screenshot):
Code: Unable to load image-loading module:/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-jpeg.so: /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-jpeg.so: undefined symbol: jpeg_resync_to_restart Attempting to open the image with GIMP will give me (see screenshot 2):
The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side. GIMP message Opening '/usr/share/backgrounds/Crocosmia_by_sirpecangum.jpg' failed: Procedure 'file-jpeg-load' received no return values. PNG files will open fine.
