I have an external hard drive that i keep my media on for use with XBMC. The problem is that when media centre is on and i attach the hard drive, Ubuntu's file browser pops up with the contents of my drive and this is over XBMC. When using a remote i am left stuck as i can't alt+tab out of the file browser. How do i disable this?

OK, So whenever I need to read or write a text file, I'd always use text editor, And therefore and no need for the big and bulky open office, But now that I've un-installed it, It keeps popping up in update manager.
Is their anyway to stop receiving updates for it?
I close Nautilus and it pops open again and always to the folder "media". The only thing I had in the media was a CDROM, which I unmounted and that made no difference. I then removed the CD from the CDROM drive and that made no difference. Any ideas why opensuse 11.2 would insist on keeping a Nautilus window open all the time -- defaulting the "/media" folder on initial opening?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering if I can use netcat to listen to a UDP port and display ALL incoming packets, no matter where they're from. If I just do 'nc -u -l 1234' then netcat will listen for incoming packets and connect() to the source address of the first one it sees (I can see this with strace). Is there any (standard) way to stop the connect() call? I can make a hack to block connect() with a function of my own, but that'd be ugly

Need help, ubuntu keeps connecting and disconnecting to my wireless router. whenever i am able to get it to connect for a significant amount of time, i still have no access to the internet.
using ubuntu 10.04
using Linksys router, not sure what model but can find out.
using toshiba satellite laptop
I am able to access my router and internet in Windows without any problem
dont have anything of importance on ubuntu install, so i could reinstall but would rather not so that i could fix this problem in the future.
I first booted into Fedora and it connected to the Interneting was working brilliantly. I then booted into windows for a session of TF2. After I booted back into Fedora, it wouldn't connect to my network.I did fix this by doing a hard reset on my router, BT homehub. It's just that I don't want to reset and apply custom settings all the time.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Ubuntu 10.10 server; I have created several users and wish them to have their own web space (with a unique domain name for each). I have therefore created www folders within their home folder and created new Virtual Servers to host each domain name and point to the users www folder in their home folder. They can then use an FTP client to upload files. This all works well.
However, I would like to stop a user from going back up a level and traversing the tree.They can currently go back up to /home and see other users names.
I'm starting to use SuperUbuntu, and am trying to set up Evolution email prog. This is on a USB stick. Anyone know how to get rid of the keyring nonsense that keeps popping up? Google searches reveal that others are highly annoyed too, but can't cure it easily. Is it easy to put Thunderbird on and remove Evolution? And before anyone starts to preach security to me - I don't want to hear it. No offence meant. All I'm looking for is a correction.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis is an annoying problem I've been having with Unity. I'll be moving the mouse around and sometimes hit the right or left mouse clicker and the launcher bar pops out and stays stuck out. I can't get it to auto hide unless the browser is closed. Then I have to reopen the browser and start all over again. What makes this very annoying is there may be several tabs open in the browser that have to be all reloaded again.How do you get the launcher bar to auto hide again after it is stuck popped out?
View 9 Replies View RelatedSince I installed Natty recently, I had this "popping" sound from the speakers when the laptop was running on battery. Turns out this popping has to do with a power-saving feature for "hda-intel" sound-chips.
Open terminal and do:
Code:
gksudo gedit /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/intel-audio-powersave
Find this line:
INTEL_AUDIO_POWERSAVE=${INTEL_AUDIO_POWERSAVE:-true}
And comment it out by putting a "#" in front of it like this:
# INTEL_AUDIO_POWERSAVE=${INTEL_AUDIO_POWERSAVE:-true}
Just below this line you make a new line, like this:
INTEL_AUDIO_POWERSAVE=false
So now you will have:
# INTEL_AUDIO_POWERSAVE=${INTEL_AUDIO_POWERSAVE:-true}
INTEL_AUDIO_POWERSAVE=false
Save the file (File > Save) and exit.
Reboot the computer.
The popping sound will be gone.
If you for some reason need to undo the setting, just open the file again and remove the "#" from:
INTEL_AUDIO_POWERSAVE=${INTEL_AUDIO_POWERSAVE:-true}
And delete this line:
INTEL_AUDIO_POWERSAVE=false
Save the file.
Reboot.
I just got Ubuntu a few days ago and recently updated it. I now have a screen popping up whenever I start Ubuntu that says I have less than a gig of space left on my hard drive. I dont want windows xp on my computer anymore but have no idea how to get rid of it.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI did a clean install to 10.04. Not too many issues except any sound I play sounds like it's underwater and pops while playing. I have tried to do the Pulse Audio install, but every time I loaded pauvcontrol (I think was the title), it would pop up "Connection Failure: Connection Refused." I tried to follow other guides, but they'd all fail because I'd be missing half of the files it changed. I have a Creative Labs X-Fi Fatality card that has given me troubles in the past, but usually, it works. I tried to install Creative's open driver, but again, I had an error when I attempted to Make the directory.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI seem to be having a problem with Banshee. When I boot up, it automatically starts up, which seems innocent enough. However, I opened up Exaile (because Banshee had this problem of not recognizing spaces in some of my songs' filenames, replacing them with '%20'), and closed Banshee from its notifications icon. It closed, but about 3-5 seconds later its window pops up again. I used Ctrl+Q to quit, but it still came back after a few seconds. I've tried opening up a terminal and typing "killall banshee-1", but still, Banshee keeps coming back. Even though I restart and not open Exaile, Banshee still keeps coming back when I try to kill it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI loaded CentOS from a USB net install as I am trying to get an eeeBox to run CentOS 5.3 as a low power usage firewall. As you might know this box doesn't have an optical drive so everything has to be loaded from something USB. After the net install I ran a yum update and then went to some websites that I use and Firefox would pop a small window which looked like a vertical blue bar with a white dot at the bottom. I could grab it with the mouse and expand it and it would open as a normal window but inside there would be nothing. Usually in other CentOS installations Firefox would put the new window in another tab. When I go to the Edit/Preferences area and click on the tab icon nothing appears on the page...only the mail and security icons work. I unloaded Firefox using yum remove and reloaded it using yum install and now when I start Firefox it pops three windows and every site I go to pops another window with nothing in it. Am I losing my mind, or is there something wrong with my hardware, or is this a bug?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was reading some code the other day and thought that I saw they were using the list.pop method to pop of more than one item at a time. Something like this.
Code:
l = [ 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e' ]
l.pop(0:3)
['a','b','c']
l
['d','e']
But of course when I looked at invoking the method, it only works for one item at a time. I'm working on a data structure where I'm parcing weather data that is 15 items long that are return in as data in a list that has 3,000 + items. I was wanting to pop off a lists of the 1st 15 items breaking them into chuncks (still trying to figure out how I'm going to store the associations as each day has 2-4 readings an hour for the past 72 hours, so I was wanting to group the days together but have each data point for each time).
I know I can just write a function (with some additional tweaking needed for neg starts to work on the right end):
Code:
def longpop (seq, length=1, start=0):
slice = seq[start:start+length]
del seq[start:start+length]
return slice
But with increasing data sizes, I was wondering if there was a faster built-in way of doing this (perhaps implemented under the hood written originally in C as an extention, for example).
Loud popping sound approx. 11 secs after switching to battery power if audio hasnt been used for awhile (11 secs probably?) It will pop when audio is started (like movie, alert etc etc). It appears to be a power saving problem. And is not occurring for me on other distros, and only started happening recently on OpenSuSE. I found the exact same problem on the OpenSuSE forums dated 2008 (see: [URL]) but no solution as of yet. And by loud popping sound imagine one of those 'black cat' snappers you throw on the ground and they pop, it sounds almost identical.

How do you disable the sidepanel from popping out all the time? When i change workspace it pops out. Also when i tab between open windows. Also sometimes when i just browse or type, it pops out. And it just sits there. And it's in the way. How do you make sure it ONLY pops out when i ask it to, by keyboard bindings? I changed the 'reveal mode' in unity behavior in compiz to 'none', but this didn't resolve the problem.
