Ubuntu :: Terminal Stuff / Get It In Command Line?
Apr 20, 2011I don't understand the character between 8F374FEF and sudo in the command line below. Yea, I am a total noob, and if I have to ask then maybe its something I shouldnt be doing. I did try to search the help data base first. I also have tried copy-paste in the terminal as well. So what is that character and how do I get it in the command line?

Jan 28, 2010Just installed 9.10 and bloody loving it, Even though i love my Windows 7, This is just great learning all about Linux. Install was a breeze and installing normal apps are fine, but when we get to stuff like changing icons and stuff, this is just way over my head. All i want is icons that sort of look like MAC icons or Glass type icons, i downloaded a set from Deviantart and im that retarted i cant even follow the instructions...
[ReadMe to black-white 2
1.Change your main menu icon
2.different folder icons
1.-add a "Main Menu" to your panel
-run gconf-editor
-navigate to /app/panel/objects
-find a object_x with the "object_type=menu-object".
- tick up "use_custom_icon"
-type in "custom_icon" start-here1, start-here2, ... , start-here11
- if you doesn't like any of this icons you can browse here to an image of your choice
2.In this version I add some different icons for your downloads, documents, music,... folder.
-To use them you must unpack the tar.gz package.
-right click on the folder you wants to change and presspreference
-click on the folder icon and browse to the unpacked black-white2.tar.gz folder and go on to / scalable/places (sometimes /scalable/places/256)
-choose your folder and press open.]
These kind of instructions are way to advanced for a everyday windows user.. Are there any other easier guides out there to do this kind of stuff?
General :: Where To Put Installed Stuff On Ubuntu
Jun 24, 2011Packages installed with synaptic are usually well installed on your system (i.e. bin in /usr/bin/, etc.). However, when a software is not in the repo, I always wonder where I should install it, when everything comes together (i.e. /bin, /var, /man are all subfolders of the main folder of the software). For now, I've opted for /var/opt/ or /usr/share, but I'm not really sure this is a best practice... is there any guidelines on that?

May 3, 2010I decided to install a game under Wine. It didn't work so I uninstalled it. The game still shows up under the Wine section. I tried going to the uninstall in the game folder and it said "Failed to change to directory '/home/user/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Ubisoft/Gearbox Software/BrothersInArmsEiB/System' (No such file or directory)". When I go to Wine -> Uninstall Wine Software it doesn't show up, but the folder is still under wine -> Programs.
I brought up the directory and the folder doesn't exist. How can I remove it from the programs list under wine?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Internet Disconnects When Streaming Stuff?
Jul 26, 2010Got a problem when I try to stream stuff off the net, such as watching ....., or listening to music clips.Basically, the internet just simply disconnects after a few seconds, or a minute at most after starting to stream - although it appears to be connected in the wireless icon thingymigig in the top right taskbar, eventually that goes though and says I'm disconnected.
While browsing normally, and using the net normally with messenger and looking throughwebsites,uploading/downloading via ftp, with no videos or music streaming, the net stays on - no problems.If I try to stream stuff from another computer running windoze 7, then these problems dont occur, the net doesn't disconnect and can stream till the end of time (or so it seems).Why does this happen just on the Linux machine?

Aug 25, 2010(SYN=Synaptic Package Manager; UM=Update Manager)
Some reason recently the Update Manager has been saying it can only do partial upgrades, then it asks if I want to confirm the things, I look at them, they have a few set to upgrade, it also says it will remove certain packages that pretty much would render my computer useless.
Here's a screenshot of the box I took just a few seconds ago when I went to "Mark All Upgrades" in Synaptic Package Manager. You can see that wanting to remove important things like "ubuntu-desktop" and "network-manager". [URL]
I mean, I would love to upgrade my WebcamStudio etc to check out the newer version, but I'm not gonna upgrade it if I can't even access it! I'm planning on going back and manually checking the ones shown for upgrade after I get done posting this, and seeing if it might be a certain package.

Feb 19, 2010Reading the list of updates in my UNR 9.10 install I was quite surprised to see a few new installs in the list:
Distribution updates
alien
bsd-mailx
build-essential
debhelper
dpkg-dev
[Code]...
This looks wrong to me, what could cause it to push loads of dev/build tools and the redhat package manager on me? Edit: Unticking these also unticks a "google-chrome-beta" update below. Does this mean they are now dependencies of that package?

May 6, 2010My system runs fine, I have an Nvidia card and when I boot up I guess it would be Plymouth displays some stuff; several lines and it goes by too quick for me to be able to read much of it.
Then it goes back to normal and the login in screen appears like normal. Everything is normal except for the black display and the stuff that is displayed before the login screen appears. Even with this, my system boots up in under 20 seconds at last check.
Is there anything I should/could do to get the errors or information lines or whatever they are to not show up?
I installed Lucid during beta (I think) and have kept up with the updates and all appears smooth to me. I have a super nice custom grub2 screen.
Ubuntu :: IPhone 3GS Works Partially - Cannot Sync Any Stuff
May 9, 2010Since installing Lucid LYNX LTS on my Netbook. (See: [URL] [#136]). Via USB, I can connect my iPhone 3GS. It gives me two simultaneous choices:
Open F-Spot and Open Rythmbox.
In addition, I can also "Open / Browse Folder". As such, I can view / import photos and videos made on the phone, as well as video PODCASTS. I can also play my music files
What I cannot do:
1) Play / find my purchased audiobooks [decryption not supported]
2) Locate the mp4 videos / movies (NOT encrypted) that I transferred to the phone via iTunes on my MacBook.
3) Send a file via bluetooth to the phone [the Indicator Applet does allow me go go as far as select the file. It gets to the point of "connecting" then "unknown error occurred"
I cannot sync the addressbook, calendar, or notes on the iPhone with my netbook. I have the following libraries installed:
ifuse
libmobiledevice-utils
libmobiledevice0
libplist++1
libplist1
libusbmuxd1
python-imobildevice
usbmuxd
NOTA BENE: This phone is NOT jail-broken.
Ubuntu :: Goes Back To Same Screen With Syslinux Stuff And Cursor
Jul 23, 2010I wanted to try out Ubuntu (I already have it on my laptop) so I used the Startup Disk Creator to put it on a USB stick so he could see if it worked on his laptop. I plugged the USB in and restarted the computer, and it went to a screen that said syslinux blah blah blah (bunch of copyright stuff) then "kernel image cannot be found" and it says "vesamenu cannot be found" and under all that it has the word "Boot:" with a cursor next to it to enter something. I figured I may have created the USB drive wrong, so I unplugged it but now whenever he starts his laptop, the same screen comes up and we cannot get past it. It comes up even when the USB stick isn't plugged in.
I went to the BIOS and looked at the startup options and the first option is the laptop's internal hard drive (which is running Windows 7), and whenever I try system recovery, it goes back to the same screen with the syslinux stuff and the cursor. What the hell happened? He can't do anything with his laptop now and I didn't even install anything. The boot order is correct...why is it not loading Windows 7?, otherwise I'm gonna have to pay to have his laptop fixed since this was my doing.
Ubuntu Installation :: Re-installing 10.04 Over Bad Upgrade Without Losing Stuff
Aug 3, 2010I recently upgraded to 10.04 from 9.10 and have some questions:
1. Will a clean install of 10.04 perform better than my upgrade?
2. Will it get rid of the message I get at boot time about IRQ #18 being disabled.
3. The boot splash image does not appear after the upgrade. Will it appear after a clean install? (It does when booting from 10.04 live CD).
4. And finally: I can see that there are some 20 or so folders including home when I do ls /
Code:
mike@mike-laptop:~$ ls /
bin dev initrd.img lost+found opt sbin sys var
boot etc initrd.img.old media proc selinux tmp vmlinuz
cdrom home lib mnt root srv usr vmlinuz.old
How may I preserve stuff I have on my upgraded system such as:- VirtualBox running a Windows XP guest, its application and data. - Wireless LAN implemented using ndisuio? wrapper Canon PIXMA IP2600 driver

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Can't Show Or Block Stuff In MoBlock On Live USB
Jan 12, 2011After some difficulty I got MoBlock and Mobloquer installed on my Ubuntu 10.10 live USB. Lists all updated perfectly, and I made sure that HTTP and FTP traffic are not allowed. All's going well, still it shows nothing under the "Logs" tab, and under the "Manage" tab, "Number of blocked connections: " is still 0. MoBlock is "up and running". Now I did some browsing as a test, cuz I'm pretty used to Peer Guardian on Windows, and I know that by now it should have blocked quite a lot of stuff. Should I have "No time stamping" checked, cuz in the "Blockcontrol log", whilst struggling to get it working, it said that "notimestamp" was a depreciated feature.. or some thing like that anyway. It still shows nothing under the "Logs" tab, and it shows "no blocked connections under the "Manage" tab still.
