I'm using 'Adobe Flash plug-in 10.3.183.4ubuntu0.11.04.1', installed from the package repos on kubuntu, and since the last update, it has broken all flash functionality in both rekonq and firefox.I have tried removing and reinstalling the package multiple times, both with and without the browsers open. Can anyone suggest a way to restoring functionality?

The problem started however when I installed Skype which uses pulseaudio. As soon as I start skype (or any other application that uses pulse, HoN for example) the applications sound output or input does not work at all. If I have pulseaudio started in some way, applications that I suppose do not use it like spotify or flash player stops to produce sounds. And when I type "pulseaudio" in the terminal it gives me this:

I'm having trouble getting compiz to work on my Laptop. It worked for a while and then I turned on Shift Switcher and a message popped up saying..."The new value for the button binding for the action Terminate in plugin Shift Switcher conflicts with the action Zoom Window of the Scale Addons plugin. Do you wish to disable Zoom Window in the Scale Addons plugin?" I was given the option of Set Terminate anyway, Don't set Terminate, and Disable Zoom Window. I clicked Don't set Terminate and ever since the only thing that works in compiz are the bindings in the general options. I've used synaptic to completely remove and then reinstall compiz but the problem persist. Something else weird, all of the changes I made are still there, even after complete removal, but they don't work?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI just recently (about an hour ago) installed Ubuntu Netbook edition on my old laptop, and I was greeted with the message, that unity could not be run due to some sort of missing driver...fair enough, I was then greeted with the default Ubuntu desktop, I installed all my needed software (wine, google chrome) and installed the missing display drivers. I then rebooted the system, and once again I am stuck with the default desktop, and not the Unity interface. I checked the software center, and it says Unity IS in fact installed.. And yet I cannot make it appear. So now I ask you Ubuntu veterans. How do I make it work?
P.S. I wiped the system of windows, and the computer is an old HP Pavilion DV6000

This was a big problem since I use Skype a lot to talk to freinds and family out of country.I fixed it by removing and re-installing Alsa but this may not be a problem for people installing from the final release ISO.here are the commands you need to run
Code:
sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils
sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils

My atl gr key often doesnt work. Since I have an azerty lay-out, I often need this key (fi for typing @).
I tested it with xev and got the following output (first one is for a key that does work, fi alt_l and second output for the alt gr key to show the difference)
alt_l

ssh works fine on root but when i log into my other account, the ssh doesn't work, it just times out when i putty it. I used this to try and start it from terminal in my reg acc, and then as the su.
sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
After that didn't work i did this
sudo apt-get remove openssh-server
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
and still nothing. I have no clue why it only works on root and no other accounts.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just tried a fresh install of ubuntu 9.04 and a new attempt for 3D acceleration with my ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 - AND IT WORKED! thanx to this guide: [URL] glxinfo | grep "direct rendering" was giving a YES and playonlinux in the terminal didn't give the usual "you don't seem to have any 3D acceleration" message. For a few minutes, my happiness was greater then ever (ehum) I installed Jedi Knight II, Jedi Outcast, and it worked. Only I couldn't adjust the screen size or the gamma (and a few other minor video settings). After some install/reinstall of playonlinux and wine I found out something: 3D acceleration didn't work any longer. glxinfo | grep "direct rendering" is now giving
direct rendering: No (LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set) and I get the error in Playonlinux that i don't have any 3D acceleration. I want to know how this could happen? My xorg didn't change at all. But for completeness, here it is:

I have tried all the usual stuff like: apt-get cups-pdf and similar things.
Of course I use the proper way (like sudo, etc.) The point is I can't print PDF files. Have a look at the image:
<snip>
I have also modified to the cups-pdf.conf file and have directed it to /home/{USER}/PDF And yes the aforementioned folder (i.e. PDF) exists at its proper place.
So I think the main problem is "P2POutputStream" error which you can see in the image.
or at least, it doesn't seem to. for some reason, my .txt, .doc, .rtf, and other files that shouldn't have the execute bit set often seem to (i think i know why, but that's not important). it's my understanding that this command should, for example, remove the execute bit from all .rtf files recursively (that is, from .rtf files in subdirectories too):
Code: chmod -R 666 *.rtf i've read help and the man page for chmod, and it seems that -R switch should make chmod work recursively, but it only alters files in the present working directory. could someone point out what i'm doing wrong?
When I try to print any PDF from either Acroread or Evince, it doesn't print and the queue tells me the printer isn't connected; and yet, when I print from OpenOffice.org, everything's fine.

Runing 10.04, same prob with 9.10
I just installed Kubuntu 10.04 and I am experiencing problems with the fglrx diplay driver.I installed it with Jocky and rebooted.Everything works fine. But everything is so un-smooth. Like dragging & resizing windows.It's not updating instantly.It was smooth before installing fglrx but then I couldn't boot without nomodeset.I am using a widescreen LCD monitor.My xorg.conf

I like to be able to type an em dash, so I set my right alt key to choose "third level" characters. This has worked fine until just now, I suddenly noticed it doesn't work anymore. I don't use it all the time, so I'm not sure when it stopped working, but I'm pretty sure it was working when I first clean-installed 10.04.
The last thing I installed was compizconfig-settings-manager, but after uninstalling that, it still didn't work. right now, when I press and hold right alt, it's as if the key isn't being pressed, every other key works as if nothing is pressed, whereas if I press and hold left alt, it acts like an alt key.
I've been trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 on my desktop. I can get to the option screen where I choose to either install or try without installing. When I choose either of these, my monitor shuts off, saying there is no signal. I've tried with a downloaded copy and an official disc from Canonical. Both end in the same result. So I went in to the 'other options' and checked the nomodeset, and then booted in. It worked and I was able to install. Install finished, I restarted, tried booting into the freshly install OS, and the monitor shuts off, again.
I can use all Ubuntu's up through 9.10, which works wonderfully. I suppose I could just stick with 9.10, but eventually it will be unsupported, right? I thought maybe my pc is just too old, but I run Windows 7 on a second hard drive and it works great.
I've even tried an upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04. I get the same issue. So I'm at a loss. I do wonder if it's my video card, but that doesn't make sense.
Pc info:
Motherboard: Asus
Processor: AMD FX-60 2.6 (939 socket)
Video Card: EVGA GT 240
I've had 10.04 installed with an HP/Asus motherboard of same socket(939). I had an Nvidia 7300GT video card installed.
I want to use the text mode but when I press Ctrl + Alt + F4, I get the normal screen with strange colors, and nothing else...I have to press Ctrl + Alt + F7 to return to the normal screen (I mean, the same screen with the normal colors). Ubuntu 10.04, 64 bits version. Asus u30j.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI tried search for a solution for this from google but couldn't find much that would help me. I just installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 10.04 from the live cd, and now I want to install the nvidia drivers. But i'm not able to access the terminal. Ctrl + alt + f1-f7 does nothing. Also, doing sudo service gdm stop, puts me in the black screen where it gets stuck at "Checking Battery state", with a blinking cursor following it. I can type stuff but it doesn't do anything. No terminal, no response.
After that the only thing that works is alt+ctrl+delete , which shows me the ubuntu logo for a few seconds , with a few lines in the black screen before the restart happens. Sorry i'm really new to linux so I'm not sure what files or configs I can show you guys to help with this unless you ask for something specifically.
It's just about to make a USB stick boot my ubuntu 10.10. First,I have tried several flash drives. I have downloaded and checkedsum several images, including Mint 10 ( sort of Ubuntu ), I have used UNiversal USB, LinuxLiveUSB creator,Unetbootin and the native program inside Ubuntu. All the time I have the same problem : "line 7: can't open /dev/sr0 no medium found" I have disabled by default the floppy disc from BIOS. I suspect that some line has to be modified. I am not an advanced user of Linux. But I would like to have ubuntu booting from a stick flash drive.

GRUB_GFXMODE=1440x900 &
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1440x900x32

I had Macbuntu. Worked perfectly. Long story, but I had to uninstall and reinstall Ubuntu. The OS works fine now, but Macbuntu doesn't work anymore. I mean it slightly does, but the visual effects that make it feel like a real Mac don't work anymore. And the dock doesn't show up as well, so I keep on losing my windows. Basically the only things that do change is the color, the minimize, exit, maximize, and the taskbar. The wobbly effect (even though I did put yes in terminal) doesn't work, nor does the splash effects in the startup screen, etc.
If this is any help, now when I install it, half of the time I get this error that says:"The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GlobalMenu_PanelApplet""
I recently installed LAMP using this handy guide:Everything seams to work except phpMyadminI'm supposed to type http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/ to use it but I get a 404 error "The requested URL /phpMyAdmin/ was not found on this server."
