I install and update Opera using this method:
[URL]
Works great. I am notified of updates and everything.
Problem is that lately when I run an update to Opera the key is deleted from Software Sources. This happens on several systems (10.04 and 9.10 at least) and happens each time I update Opera.
I install the key again, of course, and the next update deletes the key.
My Update Manager popped up letting me know that a new version/upgrade of Opera is available. But when I click on "Install Updates," a warning pops up stating that the upgrade/update is "not authenticated." I've been using and upgrading/updating to various versions of Opera for years, but I have never once received a message like this. I'm sure it's fine... But I worry. Should I? Why now do you think Ubuntu's Update Manager would alert me to something like this? Or is this all Opera's fault for not allowing authentication for their latest upgrade/update?

The Flash update reflects properly in Firefox and Google Chrome, but unfortunately it does not show up properly in Opera. It shows that Opera has 10.0.45.2 as the flash version. Why is this not updating with the Opera and Flash updates?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got Opera for Linux on my Debian Lenny system, installed by adding their repository to my APT config, and it works great. Just recently there was an update. When I downloaded it, it could not install because the signature could not be verified.
W: GPG error: [url] lenny Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY F9A2F76A9D1A0061
Why would that happen now when I already had the repository correctly setup in my apt files? I tried re-installing the key and that didn't change anything. Is there a problem with a public key server somewhere?
title says ist all: downloaded and installed the current FP-DEB from Adobe and installed it via GDebi.Result: Firefox (3.6.15) doesn't play any videos anymore (shows "need to upgrade...")But: the FP is installed properly, as seen by Opera using it just fine.Any ideas how to tell Firefox where to find it?I have found '/opt/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so' and I have copied it as '/opt/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so' to no avail.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI lost transparent terminal windows in LL after you upgraded, you have fallen victim to the not-too-atypical "Preferences File Use Changed Krap". Essentially when you look at a preferences pane it appears that everything is ok, but actually, the way the preference file is being used changed in this version of Ubuntu and you are being punished for it. We need to get the new version of the program to fix the preference file for us, which is easy enough to do by just making the setting changes again.
So, in Terminal,
1) Go to Edit->Profile Preferences.
2) Pick the "Background" tab. You will most likely see that the "Transparent Background" radio is set, but the background is not transparent.
3) Click on one of the other radios (I did "background image") and the terminal window should become transparent.
4) Click on the Transparent radio again and dismiss the dialog.
I was happily using Shutter in 9.10 with no problems, but since upgrading to 10.04 there's been a problem with the default save path - every time shutter is restarted, it moves down one notch. If the original save path was /home/vacri/pictures/image-manip, the next time it is /home/vacri/pictures, then /home/vacri, all the way down to just /
Which, of course, it can't write to. Either way, it's not saving screenshots where I want them.
A friend running Mint that's also based on ubuntu 10.04 is having the same issue.
I just installed ubuntu 10.10 on my notebook, and I had a problem with compiz, it loses the windows borders, when i excecute
Code:
compiz --replace
i get this output
Code:
Starting gtk-window-decorator
compiz: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/compiz/libdecoration.so: undefined symbol: decor_property_to_quads
Every time I load unity - either by rebooting, logging out/in, or just "unity --replace" all my self-placed launchers are gone (just chrome, terminal and a custom launcher for my email) and the LibreOffice ones are back.
I'm assuming this isn't a bug, as here and launchpad would have tonnes of reports of something so obvious if it were affecting everyone, but something local to me.
i have an ubuntu server box as my gateway and firewall. for days at a time itll run fine, then one or two days out of the week, it will drop connection often because it drops its ip addr. when renew an ip, itll work fine for about 5 minutes and drop again.ive tried different nics, different wire, my logs dont mention anything, my cron files dont have anything suspicious.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am fairly new to linux. I have Ubuntu 10.10 on my Dell Inspiron E1705. While browsing my internet connection suddenly stops working. It says that I am still connected but the internet doesn't work. When I try to disconnect then reconnect it will not connect to the network. To get it to reconnect i have to turn of the wireless card, delete the connection then restart, turn the card back on and reconnect.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe problem is that KLauncher seems to periodically lose the ability to launch programs. Sometimes an error dialog pops up: "Error launching /usr/share/applications/kde4/ksysguard.desktop. Either KLauncher is not running anymore, or it failed to start the application." (I verified that KLauncher is in fact still running). Other times, the pointer icon bounces and the placeholder shows up in my task bar, but then it all goes away without any error.
There doesn't seem to be any pattern as to what's running when this happens, or how much memory is in use, or what I launch, or anything else. Sometimes, if I start closing apps that are already open, then the thing I tried to launch will start up. Other times, I have to actually log out and back in before I can get anything to start. Other than that, the desktop continues to behave normally. Nothing seems to be locked up or anything. It's very strange.
I'm running Fedora 9, and I've just started getting a problem (it was working the other day), where if I type
sudo su -
then any program which uses X gives an error about not being able to open the display.
For instance:
# gnome-terminal
No protocol specified
cannot open display: Run 'gnome-terminal --help' to see a full list of available command line options.
I've checked the value of $DISPLAY, and it's :0.0, (which is what it should be, and what my non-root user has as $DISPLAY).
I've also noticed, I can "ssh -Y" from my non-user account into root@localhost, and the display works!
I use Ubuntu 9.10. I need to have network right away because I put home directories on a server and use them via NFS. To have network right away I needed to remove network-manager and put the configuration manually. It works, but after I removed the network manager, by pressing alt+F1,2,3,4 I don't get text terminals, that is I get them, but I don't have the option to login, just a cursor blinking. Sometime I need these terminals so I can kill a process that is crushing GUI, I don't want to do hard resets. Why is that? Is there a better way for having network before GUI than editing /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolve.conf?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm running 10.04 w/ Firefox 3.6.
Often, and esp after adding something with apt-get or Synaptics I find Firefox will lose the ability to display either pull down menus or a menu from a mouse's right button.
I've been doing some initial searches for a bug report on Launchpad (but it is unclear if it is being used to actively track bugs vs some other place).
My 'hit it with a hammer' approach to a fix, at least to this point, is to reinstall from the local store or cache, the application;
Synaptic
Status Filter
Firefox (in the Quick Search field)
Mark the existing Firefox for Reinstallation
No files get downloaded, but a restart of Firefox and 'tada'; menus return.
I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 LTS last week (32 bit, gnome desktop, no desktop effects). The system was quite stable before the upgrade (it's usually on 24/7 with uptimes in the dozens of days), but ever since updating to 10.04, the system loses all mouse and keyboard input at random times.
I can still ssh into the system fine and reboot it in an orderly fashion from a laptop, but I'd rather that it wouldn't freeze like this in the first place
I've tried service gdm start / stop from an ssh session to see if it's an xorg-related problem, but sadly that did not help in recovering mouse / keyboard input.
I also tried unplugging and re-plugging the ps/2 keyboard and the usb mouse, but sadly that also didn't help.
I don't see any weird messages in dmesg, so it's not a kernel oops either it seems.
I'm using the proprietary nvidia driver if that matters.
I have windows 7 dual-booted with ubuntu. Im having issues with ubuntu however and i am very new to using linux (sorry). When i intalled ubuntu and ran on it a seperate partition everything seemed to work fine until i tried connecting to the wireless internet in my university. This is what's driving me crazy. When i first turn ubuntu on it connects normally to the internet, and i can usually get onto google for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, the wireless loses its connection and the internet shuts off, even though it can still detect the wifi in the area. I try to reconnect but it consistently fails... I also get some sort of .local avashi error message (dont remember what it said exactly) for a brief moment and then it fades away. Can someone tell me what to do? This is driving me crazy. btw, i have a realtek rtl8191 wlan nic driver installed on windows, so im assuming thats the driver installed on linux to. Do i need to install a different version like kubuntu or xubuntu?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have this issue with two different computers. One is a dell optiplex gx60 and the other a hp pavilion a317x. The two monitors are a hp pavilion f70 and a nec mulitsync lcd.
The problem I have is the monitor will randomly turn off like it would if the signal is lost but the computer is still running. I cannot get the monitor back on unless I do a hard shutdown and reboot. Sometimes it will happen within minutes of turning on the computer and sometimes it will take hours or days. I have had this problem with ubuntu 10.04 which is currently installed, mint 9 xfce, and mint 9 fluxbox. The only distro that it did not do this on was peppermint ice and windows xp.
I don't know at this point if it is hardware or software related. I am new to linux so I don't know what else to look for.
Problem appears every time I leave my computer for a while and my screen turns off because of inactivity. Then after screen starts again, my desktop looks like it lost color depth. I can see wallpaper that consists of big blocks of color tones instead of being smooth. Temporary I had to disable blank screen during inactivity in Power management settings. I have installed:
Ubuntu 10.10 x86_64
kernel 2.6.35-27-generic
GNOME 2.32.0
My graphics card:
ATI Radeon HD 5470 512MB
ATI/AMD FGLRX driver installed
I just installed the Natty Beta and plugged in a Netgear WG111v3 USB wifi adapter. It is using the RTL8187B driver and worked out of the box. The problem it loses my connection every few minutes. Sometimes not for 10 or 15, sometimes like a minute or less. After it loses the connection, I have to uncheck "enable wireless" (which I assume is the equivalent of bringing down my wireless interface) and then check it again before it will let me reconnect. I don't want to try ndiswrapper because the card works great when it works, including monitor mode and packet injection!

I have an NFS client that loses connectivity with an NFS volume about once a week. The NFS client has several other volumes mounted to the same NFS server but this is the only volume that appears to have problems. It is mounted with these options: intr,rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192
Before I start messing with the timeout options, what else could I look at to troubleshoot this?
Since Ubuntu become 10.04, Firefox got some big issues with losing it's memory of saved users/passwords and places I've visited earlier. To fix it, I need to close and re-open Firefox and all is fine for a time. But after some time, all stuffs is gone missing again and I need to close and re-open it...
Why isn't Windows users affected with this? Only Ubuntu folks?
Anybody else notice this sickness with Firefox?
I'm trying to install Fedora 10. I'm booting from a CD, and the installation gets as far as those 3 progress bars in the very beginning. As soon as they all load, my monitor goes black and starts flashing a "DVI Input Out Of Range" warning. That's all.
I'm using a
nvidia geforce 8800 gtx
and the Planar PX3611W monitor.
I am setting up a fresh Fedora 10 install on an older computer for a roommate and have one odd little problem, everything else appears to be working just fine.
The network connection drops after about 2 minutes (somewhere between 90-120 seconds). This only happens in the installed Fedora 10; it does not happen at all when I boot a Kubuntu LiveCD.
Here's what I know:
The machine is a Dell Dimenision 4500, 2.0 GHz, 512Mb ram.
The ethernet card is 21x4x DEC-Tulip compatible 10/100 Ethernet.
Unplugging the ethernet cord and plugging it back in allows the network interface to come back up, grabs the right IP, but only holds it for another two minutes.
ifconfig and route show all the right info while the connection is good, but inet disappears once it goes down.
'ifdown eth0' and 'ifup eth0' do not bring it back up.
Is this a driver issue perhaps?
By way of background: I've been using Linux since kernel 0.97.something_or_the_other, but I've been using one of the other distros. This is my first crack at Redhat/Fedora.
I'm trying to install Fedora 10 on an old Compaq Proliant 3000, dual P-II 450, Compaq Smartarray 3200, plenty of drive space, 3C905 based NIC, original Compaq CD drive.
The install will boot from the CD just fine, I get the initial graphic menu to select whether to do an install, upgrade, etc.
I select option 1 to install and I get what looks like an ncurses based screen that asks me to select a language, another screen that asks for a keyboard, then a screen that asks me if I want to install from CD/DVD, NFS, local drive, etc.
If I select the CD install option, the next screen complains that it can't find a drive and asks me to either select a driver from a list of drivers or to insert a driver disk. Doesn't matter what driver I select, it always snaps immediately back to the screen that says it can't find the hardware to match the driver. Every time it does this, it's not spinning the CD to read the driver that I've selected.
IF I go for an NFS install, after it asks me the network parms I wind up at that same driver screen with the same results, no matter what I pick it throws me back to the can't find hardware/pick a driver screen. As far as I can tell, the NIC is never actually trying to wake up.
I know the hardware is functional because if I boot from from CD with my usual distro it identifies and starts all the hardware just fine, CD, NIC, RAID, etc.
I can see where it might work to have the necessary driver module for the CD on a floppy, but where do I get the module? I tried mounting the .iso images for the install set on another machine but I don't see anything obvious that looks like modules that I can cabbage onto.
I'm trying out KDE4's activities, but one of the problems I keep having is the Plasma Toolboxes' (cashew) menu loses "Configure Plasma" and "Zoom Out".How do I get to "Configure Plasma" (i.e., Use a different activity on each desktop) when they are no longer on the Plasma Toolbox?How do Activities and Virtual Desktops work together? Do you use one or the other? Or, can each Virtual Desktop have multiple Activities?I'm having difficulties trying this because KDE4 seems to lose the "Configure Plasma" option.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have Vortexbox (fedora distro) installed on a laptop which I am using as a media server. I would have issues where I thought the laptop would go to sleep and disconnect itself from the internet. The computer boots in command line mode and what I would notice is that the screen would go blank and then I would have to go to the computer and jiggle the trackpad and it would wake up. I posted about it and got responses related to the gnome desktop which I could not find the files referred to in the answer.
I tried using setterm to keep the computer awake setting blank to 0 and powersave off. The same thing happens even with the monitor on and the screen display on. A gesture on the trackpad seems to wake the ethernet back up. Here's my old post: [URL]. Everything else about this situation is perfect. Vortexbox is easy to set up and it does everything I want, DLNA, streams to my squeezeboxes, etc, but this ethernet cutting out is exasperating.
