I've customized my ubuntu setup using many themes and icon packs and now have it just the way I like it but every time I create a new user account it resets to the default interface. Is there any way to save the current configuration I have (theme, icons etc.) as default?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI upgraded my wife's dual boot netbook (Ubuntu/Win7) from 10.10 to 11.4. Windows was set as the default OS in Grub v 1.98 via startupmanager in 10.10 and that's the way I want it to be again. After the 11.4 upgrade, Ubuntu 11.4 is set to defualt and even though I changed the default in startupmanager it always defaults to Ubuntu on boot. It's interesting to note that when I go back in to startupmanager to see what's up after reboot, it still has Win 7 selected.
Also, the choices in startupmanager look a little different from what shows up in grub. Grub shows just the latest version of ubuntu (and recovery mode), the memtest stuff, windows, and "previous versions of ubuntu" while startupmanger just lists all three ubuntu version w/recovery options, memtest stuff, and Win 7. If I do sudo update-grub in terminal, it lists the available options just like startupmanager does.
Bottom line, Win 7 will boot if manually selected, but I can't set it to default, and this is my wife's netbook so she wants it put back I just remembered and I don't know if it would matter or not. I did the original Ubuntu install first, then win 7. I used a windows program called easyBCD to get back the ability to choose which OS on startup. When I upgraded 10.10 to 11.4, Grub is back in charge. If I manually select Win7 to boot in grub, that easyBCD selection menu will pop up for a sec,offereing windows or ubuntu.Could this be confusing startupmanager and not letting my changes take effect?
Not sure how this happened, but my Print-to-file always automatically displays "File System" as the default save location.Does anybody know how to change this back to save by default to ~/username
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just installed Ubuntu Server 10.04. When I reboot, it stops at a "grub>" prompt. I figured out that I can continue booting by entering these four commants:
set root=(hd0,1)
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-21-generic-pae root=/dev/sda1 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-21-generic-pae
boot
I can't figure out, however, how to save these as the default so that the machine can boot without someone present to enter these commands. Running "grub-set-default" tells me "entry not specified." I don't see anywhere in /etc/default/grub that looks relevant.
How do I save my default grub settings?
How do I set ls so that when I type ls it actually runs ls -l. This Sounds minor but I'm trying to save keystrokes wherever I can. This is on Ubuntu 10.10.

Since school ended, I decided to finally wipe and due a clean upgrade to Slackware 13.0. Everything is great except one thing. When I want to save something in firefox, the "save as" window that popups up, that allows you to browse to right directory, popups too low. In my window manager(wmii), the bottom is cutoff. I want to have the window popup higher. Is this possible? In my previous install, I think the window would usually remember where it last was, but now it seems to always popup in the same location. I'm not sure if this is slackware, firefox or wmii issue. Also I tried another wm, Awesomewm, and it showed up in the same spot.

Original tittle, edited for add the tag [SOLVED] on subject How can I save the configuration of panel of the xfce4 ?
I have a pretty panel configured on my xfce4 (debian lenny). How can I save the configuration of my panel ? I'm afraid to lost my configuration in some situation of error.
I'm not able to reproduce a configuration which I had before.
The plot: openSUSE 11.1 i586, seamonkey 1.1.18, MPlayer dev-SVN-r30099-4.3-openSUSE Linux 11.1 (i686)-Packman = MPlayer-1.0rc2_r30099-1.pm.1.1, mplayerplug-in-3.55+cvs20090923-0.pm.2.2
My old system which died in a catastrophic hardware failure did write the URLs of all movies played with mplayerplug-in to a file located at $HOME/Movies/playlist.
How can I configure the new system to do it again?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently reinstalled Lenny and I am attempting to save my /home directory. I used the graphical install and when it came to the part about partitioning, I created a new /home partition "hdb1" and told the installer to ignore my old /home partition "/dev/hda9".Following the completion of the install, I logged in and changed my /etc/fstab so that /home --> my old /home partition "/dev/hda9". I then mounted the old partition to /home and rebooted the system. Now, when I go to my /home directory >> properties, I can see that the files I had are on the drive (2GB are used) --- but --- I cannot actually see the files??

View 3 Replies View RelatedThe other day I was using BitTornado and it was running so slow it was almost unholy. After some research I found out that if the yellow light was on it means I couldn't receive any incoming connections and had to open some ports on the firewall. That, my friends, is not the problem. I tried to manually open up the bittorrent port and did some other things that I can't quite remember but eventually I accidentally killed all bittorrent functionality on my laptop.
Is there any way I can reset my network and ports back to the default settings or am I utterly screwed? I'd really prefer not to have to reinstall my whole OS just to fix my bittorrent or worse, have to download on Vista *shudders*. I'd rather go back to my uber-slow bittorrent than none at all. I've tried everything I can think of, even the godlike might of Google couldn't get me out of this one.

The USB has no problems because I installed 10.10 last time from the very same USB. There's nothing wrong with the procedure because I am following the officially suggested method. Also, nothing wrong with partitions because one instance of Ubuntu is installed and was working fine until I tried to install video drivers (long story)...

View 14 Replies View RelatedOn this moment i build an webenvironment with wordpress, apache2, debian 8. On this moment i try to impelement Varnish.
By default this application use the port 6081. I try to put apache on port 8080. This already works but i get varnish not running on port 80.
You can see below that varnish still listen to the default port 6081. How can i fix this?

Active Internet connections (only servers)

To test another port i have also try to start Varnish on port 85.
Code: Select allvim /etc/default/varnish
DAEMON_OPTS="-a :85
-T localhost:6082
-f /etc/varnish/default.vcl
-S /etc/varnish/secret
-s malloc,256m"
I have restart the apache and varnish services. I have also rebooted the server but varnish will not listen on port 80 (or other non default ports). On port 6081 the application works fine. But how can i fix this ?
Source Varnish port 80
I can use the application with the following command
Code: Select allvarnishd -f /etc/varnish/default.vcl -a 0.0.0.0:80.
But why is this not working with the normal config file. Varnish are than listen to port 80. With every server reboot i need than to run this command. So i would like to use the config file.
