Ok I have been installing a few programs lately and some of them try to load but do not load.I installed Mixxx DJ software and when I try to load it for example it goes down to the task bar and sits there doing nothing then it just goes away.
View 1 RepliesI want to be able to password protect specific programs. So, for example, when you click on Thunderbird a box pops up and asks for a password.
View 1 Replies View RelatedJust recently, I've run into a problem with VLC.Whenever I clicked on it, it never loaded up. Sometimes a tab of it would appear for a split second, but it would immediately vanish. I assumed it was something wrong with the program itself so I went to the Synaptic Package Manager to uninstall and re-install it, unfortunately, it seems to have the same problem! So I figured maybe I should just update Ubuntu and then discovered my update manager won't update anything, it's broken too.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I try and boot my Debian computer I get the messages: Grub Loading stage1.5. Grub loading, please wait... Error 15 Is there any way of recovering from this - or is it simply a fresh install? I was attempting an upgrade from Lenny to Squeeze and despite a few hurdles it looked like it was all happening. Got the new kernel loading, and the new grub. It looked as though grub2 was working so I ran the grub-remove-legacy-support command (something like that) and now my computer won't boot grub or Linux.
I'm assuming the MBR on my harddrive is lost, however I don't know what state the partition is in. I'm guessing that maybe this has been lost as well. I tried a few tools from the Ultimate Boot CD but nothing here was able to re-install my grub or boot from any partition or even mount my file-system. I'm fearing the worst but would like it confirmed before I blow it all away with a new install.
Is there a way to specifically run certain programs right in ram when they load up? On average I usually have 2Gig ram free (out of 4gig total). For example, hulu desktop, usage hog, I thought that forcing it to load into ram whenever hulu desktop is started may improve performance of the app. So, is there a program in ubuntu that can specifically control what programs can load directly load into ram when started?
View 1 Replies View RelatedFor 6 months I have used this computer as a ediacenter/seedbox on a decent TV. It crapped out and we got a new one. Hooked it up, had super messed up resolution. Ran some command (really don't remember) that ran you through the setup configuration asking for keyboard layout etc.
Didn't work. Deleted xorg.cong, didn't work. Blank xorg.conf, didn't work. What happens is it shows the Ubuntu name and loading bar, loads, then at 100% it shows 2 of them in purple around the screen. Obviously X isn't loading correctly.

after wrestling with several problems over the past few days of switching over to a portable version of Linux 9.10 (I'm running a Live USB created using Lili USB), and deciding between the UNR or the Desktop i386 releases (I eventually went with UNR because i386 will not load on my netbook and ends up corrupting itself), I now find myself with the interesting problem that Firefox will no longer load webpages.I'm using a wireless connection, and it worked about 4 hours ago, but doesn't any longer. It registers that it is connected (The network icon displays the connected information), but the webpages themselves will not load (And I don't know if any other web based application functions- I only bothered to check firefox).
And I know the connection itself is not to blame because I'm using it right now to post this message (Off of Windows 7).Any help that can be given would be appreciated. Except for these problems that come up I'm loving Ubuntu, and intend to use it inbetween classes and such.EDIT:No internet applications work, and the router does assign me an IP address while in Ubuntu. Also, the speed of the "Server not found" message indicates that it's not even trying to connect.
This is a clean install of Lucid sometimes I get the Ubuntu loading screen and sometimes just black screen followed by a flash of green across the top and some text. Sometimes its loads with a high resolution and that's when there are other problems no authorisation to mount other file systems and no shutdown or restart just takes me back to login. When it loads at the lower resolution it seems to work fine.

I recently decided to get back into Ubuntu and installed 10.10 on my Acer Aspire 7741Z. The live USB worked great but the installed OS won't load the GUI. The loading screen does not show but instead there is a ton of text. The logon is the 'standard' logon (Ubuntu 10.10 -computer name- tty1). I can logon using the account information that the graphical installation asked for. After awhile, the screen goes blank. Pressing the power button, the text comes back and Ubuntu the message "ppdev: user-space parallel port driver" has appeared. Using "startx" causes the screen to go blank, and the screen comes back when the power button is pressed before shutting down.

I've had trouble getting vidalia to work properly. Whenever I start vidalia, both the tor and vidalia processes show up. The GUI for vidalia does not. A temporary solution I found was to login as root and run it like that, but I take it that isn't the greatest idea.
I've reinstalled multiple times, both from source, building deb packages, and the tor repository.
After I click my firebox browser button on my unity launcher (or in applications) it does nothing. If I click it from my launcher it blinks 6 or 7 times then, does nothing.I have had this problem before, but a simple log-off log-on fixed it. I have even tried to restart and nothing changed. Is there something else I should try? Sudo killall firefox, says no processes, but I dont think this would be necessary after a restart even. What else can I do? Should I uninstall, then re-install, or is this unnecessary?

I started using Ubuntu a few days ago due to a classmates recommendation, and I simply cannot get this program I need for class to install. Or if it does, I don't know how to make it work.
I've got to install VMWare Server 2.0 for my class so we can make virtual computers and what not. But, no matter what I do I can't get it to install. Whenever I try to install it like I was told on various websites (here's one for examples sake [URL], I do this: sudo ./vmware-install.pl and get this: Can't install perl script "./vmware-install.pl" : No such file or directory
I've tried putting in stuff like home/computername/Desktop/vmware-install.pl, but I still get the same problem. I've racked my brain and my browser trying to figure this out, but I've had no luck.
I am trying to add a program that will allow me to play wmv files on my computer.

E:_cache->open()failed,please report. When I try to run this in the terminal I get a message saying I need to be a superuser.

i have a server with 2.5T of hdd space, ram to boot, and a decent cpu. I also have a desktop made about 8 years ago... with a 20G HDD.
The server runs, ubuntu server, the desktop runs, ubuntu desktop, (how normal...). Anyway, i don't want to clog my desktop up with lots of programs, if they can be run from the server to save space.
Programs i had in mind:
OpenOffice -> Full suit
Audacity
GIMP
I have installed a couple of programs - nagios and zoneminder, but am unable to see them listed in the 'Applications' drop down.
anybody else seen this or have a resolution?
