When I become root and try to run gedit, I get the error:
No protocol specified

This does not happen from my user profile....xhost + actually solves the issue....so I guess I just need to add the host root to the list of hosts allowed to access the x server...
I try xhost +root......but that does not work....
Since a few days all of my computers (3) running Ubuntu 9.10 report on startup that my external drive has "lots of bad sectors".I have checked this disk on Windows XP with chkdsk and with the SeaTools diagnostic tool dowloaded from Seagate. Both report no problems.Does anyone else suspect these Ubuntu "bad sector" warnings are unreliable?

When I try to add the Java add-in to Firefox in Ubuntu 10.04, I receive a warning that the next time the computer boots it will remove this add-in. It wasn't critical, so I abandoned the effort but I'd like to know what's up.
I set up an Ubuntu laptop for my sister w/ 10.04 LTS, so she'll have support for a long time. She's going to use it primarily to play interactive games on the Washington Post web site, browse the internet, and play DVDs. It also has OO.o which she might use a little bit.
Each interactive game on their site requires a different add-in (!) and the crossword puzzle requires Java (not JavaScript). But when I tried to add it I got an error message. (speculation) Has Oracle's purchase of Sun resulted in a dispute with Open Source uses of Java?
My sister took the laptop to LA this week, so I no longer have access to the computer to write down the error message. I have checked with some earlier releases of Ubuntu I have here at home (9.04 & 8.04 LTS) and the Java add-in works just fine. I haven't tried 10.10, however.
I think this is an Ubuntu issue, rather than a FireFox issue, as the error message I received was generated by Ubuntu, not FireFox.
I am running a laptop with a windows partition and a ubuntu partition. I partitioned from windows, then setup the linux partition from the ubuntu cd and formatted it to ext4. I am running the Ubuntu 11.0.4 and Windows 7. PROBLEM: All reports indicate that the Ubuntu /home directory is eating 66 GB when there is no indication that is using even a fraction of that space. What can I do to reclaim the space?

This may be too late, but, Do not under any circumstances install or Upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04 Natty, it is the buggiest distro they have ever produced, it is better to stick to 10.04, it's far more stable and stuff just works. Natty use a new desktop called Unity, that is totally useless, there are ssh issues that prevent logging to a remote terminal using a public key, Natty is just useless. I'm going to have to backup my ~ directory and reformat then re-install 10.4, until such times as Natty is fixed!. Check the launchpad bugs section and you'll see there are more complaints about Natty then any other Ubuntu version.

If you have an NVidia [edit] 9500 GT graphics card, do not upgrade to 10.04!I just did a fresh install of the 64 bit version. 9.10 had previously work fine on this same system. But after enabling NVidia drivers and rebooting, my system loads to a black screen. No errors, no anything. Just black.So, if you use the NVidia drivers and want to upgrade to Lucid, I suggest you wait until this problem is fixed.And while I'm on the topic: is there a way to tell 10.04 to load with basic graphics drivers? I would really like to use my system without reinstalling everything...
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to free up some space on the 4GB partition of my netbook since I've been receiving these warnings that I have NNN_MB left as free space. So what I did was to remove programs (via Ubuntu Software Center) that I thought wasn't that a priority for me.
But, there seems to be no change! Am I doing something wrong? The warnings keep coming.
Now that I'm thinking of upgrading to Lucid Lynx, I'm not too sure if I can.
I used sudo apt-get build-dep wine1.2 to get the dependencies for the lastest Wine, but when compiling it, I get:

I downloaded the full desktop .iso and burnt it to a pen-drive. Firstly I installed it on my main laptop and it runs flawlessly. With the Aspire One however, though it boots into live mode and works well, after installing and rebooting all I am left with is a flashing prompt in the top left hand corner. I left it for up to an hour thinking it may be slow to boot as its a fresh install but nothing. I booted again into the live distro and checked my hard drive. As far as I can tell everything is there. So Ubuntu installed which made me think the problem was with grub. From the live cd I installed grub using the commands:
>mount | tail -l
>sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/0d104aff-... /dev/sda
I rebooted but now I only have the grub prompt. When I type boot I get a warning saying that the kernel needs to be installed first. So why is 10.10 not booting? What else can I do to fix this problem?
I've noticed since upgrading to Maverick that nautilus has become very buggy and crashes quite a bit (I've noticed it tends to happen during multiple file transfers but really it happens often and not only because of transfers).
While I've been able to tolerate this crashiness, today I came across a problem that is very distressing. If I have two files in a folder and I rename one so that it has the same filename as the other, nautilus does not display an error message. Instead what seems to happen is that it retains one file and deletes the other permanently (There seems to be nothing in the trash as far as I can tell).
Has anyone come across this error before? If you have, I'd really appreciate any advice on how to fix it.
Should be a very simple question - how do I turn off the annoying beeps and bings when I delete a file or somesuch? In the XFCE sound settings I set the theme to none but I'm still getting these noises.
My ssytem is a Ubuntu Maverick install with an XFCE desktop so there may be more than one place I need to disable this.

I had a serious breach of the cellular segment of my communications network this week. All I can say is nobody got hurt. The attackers also knew where to find me via email. I'm concerned that perhaps they've penetrated this aspect of my system as well, although they seemed pretty specifically focused on the phone. There have been no changes on anything on my computer, and of course, I went ahead and changed all the passwords. How can I verify or at least look into the possibility of having been hacked as well.
