Why does barrybackup only work some of the times? I can charge my blackberry and run a backup of it some of the times but I can never figure it out. It either works or I get the error "(-110, No error): Timeout in usb_bulk_read. There is no rhyme or reason to when it does or does not work. It does not work more than it does work.

when you do a barrybackup where do the backups go when completed?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI know questions of the form "wireless not working on <blank>" abound, but here is another! I can't cut and paste since I don't have a connection on the computer I am having trouble with but I will paraphrase the best I can.
lspci output:
0c:00.0 Network controller: Intel ... PRO/wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)
lsmod output (relavent line):
cfg80211 33680 3 iwlagn, iwlcore, mac80211
iwconfig shows wlan0 up and running, and iwlist scanning shows the router. I used to be able to just run dhcpcd wlan0 and connect, but now I get a
"timed out waiting for a valid DHCP server response"
Same deal running /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf (which might be the new way Slack connects to things).
Not sure if it's important, but I have a little indicator light on my laptop that tells me if wireless is running. Before I try dhcpcd, the light is on. After it times out, the light goes out and I have to redo everything (ifconfig wlan0 up etc....) in order to get the light back on.
I've tried to do the installs using Unetbootin, LiveUSBcreator, and Startup Disk creator and the Install program from within the distros themselves, regardless of installation method the same problem returns. So I do not think the problem is related to method of installation.
Maybe it's hardware? I've tried a total of four different motherboards, (an MSI, 2 Gigabyte and an Asus) all with updated BIOS, all 4 of which work perfectly fine with normal Linux installations to the HD. I have no troubles running any of the above distros when installed to a hard drive.
The problem comes when I install to a thumb drive. Which thumb drive? Take your pick. I've used Sony, SanDisk, Kingston and a handful of cheaper brands in sizes from 2G up to 16G. The problem always returns regardless of the hardware involved. Therefore I do not think the problem is related to hardware.
I want a fully functioning installation of Linux on a thumbdrive. (I do not simply want a Live CD copied to a thumbdrive.) This will allow me to make changes to the software/settings and have those changes remain after rebooting. I'm able to do this just fine, and everything works perfectly until the third, fourth, or fifth reboot. At this point I enter my password and my password is no longer accepted. Sometimes the screen flickers a little, sometimes it just reloads the prompt. But it doesn't let me in. At this point it's Game Over. All the hard work installing and tailoring the install is down the drain. Yes, I've searched and found threads of this similar problem. Many of them go back to 2005 or 2006. The vast majority of them are people begging for help, receiving a few suggestions, finding no resolution and then the thread just dies. Honestly I've spent many, many hours following outdated advice that has, on occasion, worked, but only temporarily. The problem always returns. Something is seriously screwed up and I can't be alone.
So here I sit with a brand new 4Gb Sandisk that up until last night had a beautifully running Ubuntu 10.10 installation. And yet, voila, my password is now no longer good enough. It simply will not let me log on. I enter it, hit enter, and the log-in screen simply reloads itself.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am noticing really odd behaviour after upgrading from 8.10 to 9.10 (via 9.04). My server frequently becomes unreachable. I am using it as an application server, running Apache, JBoss and MySql. Once the server goes idle, all web connections time out. SSH also times out. Usually the server wakes up on second SSH attempt and then everything: Web, SSH etc seems to run fine.
This is a server machine with no GUI. Can anyone point me to power management or other such settings I can tune from commandline? I have disabled power management by adding kernel parameter acpi=off. I still have the problem. The first network connection after the machine has gone idle takes a long time. All later connections run pretty smoothly.
Upon mounting my USB key the icon in the bottom right corner displays 3 times. I had this problem already with Karmic, and I hoped that with Lucid it will fix itself.

How do I get Ubuntu to stop asking me for my password for so many things?

View 1 Replies View RelatedThere seems to be quite a craze about reducing the Ubuntu boot times to 10 seconds. I never really reached the 10 second mark.. for me it was more like 30 seconds from when I selected Ubuntu in GRUB to when I was prompted to type in the password in GDM. First of all, is this what is meant by boot time? Secondly, I know this already is quite a good 'boot' time, but just for the sake of tinkering around, is it possible to reduce the time that elapses between the GRUB menu and GDM?

I can't just fill out a form somewhere without running software to do it? When I try to do it the way explained in the guide, it tells me that I'm using a stable version of Xubuntu, and that only people running dev versions (like 11.10) can report bugs.Are they saying that all stable releases are perfect in every way? Surely one must be able to report a bug for them...?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm running 10.10 on an IBM Thinkpad R60 with 3GB RAM. I did a clean install of 9.10 and 10.04, and recently upgraded to 10.10. With all three, I'm noticing mething rather strange; after passing the PC's BIOS screen, I get a flashing cursor for about 20-30 seconds before Ubuntu starts booting. When I did the clean installs, I completely erased the hard drive, so I'm not sure what's causing it. The hard drive activity light is on when this happens, as well. It's very strange, as I have an old Dell Dimension 4550 with a slower hard drive and less RAM than the Thinkpad...yet it boots up faster, with no flashing cursor.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI hope someone can help me. Been using Ubuntu for over a month now (My first foray into Linux) and I love it...BUT I'm having an intermittent problem that seems to be getting worse:Ubuntu will be working fine....then I'll go to open a program (like Chromium or Thunderbird) and it won't open. If I already have Chromium open, it might become unresponsive. If I'm downloading something, it will start acting weird (Like last night- I was downloading c.600MB file and Ubuntu went into dysfunctional mode- and said it was downloading a 2006453 GB file!)
Also, when it goes into dysfunctional mode, any dialogue boxes that come up (like the shut-down confirmation box) will be blank- just pure white- with no text or buttons visible.I can't even run any terminal commands when this happens, to try and diagnose the problem, because either terminal won't open, or if it does, it will be blank like the dialogue boxes- i.e. the purple background will just be replaced by pure white, with no cursor or text).I'll then restart the computer when these things happen, and then I'll get the "The disk for /tmp is not ready yet or not present" and have to press "f: to fix it- then it will boot up and work fine- sometimes for the rest of the day...sometimes for 5 minutes.
Since I don't see anyone else complaining about such behavior, I assume the problem is with my 'puter or my installation? If anyone has any ideas, please help. I really don't want to have to switch to a different distro- as I love Ubuntu///and I don't want to have to reinstall - as I have it configured the way I want it and plus it's on a partition (Still need to keep Win-D'ohs around just for when I want to use Magicjack)This is starting to happen several times a day...HELP...can't. Go. On like this![My 'puter's specs: Compaq Presario SR2170NX P4 3.0Ghz 1G Ram 150GB HD -all I usually do these days is email and the web]
About 1/2 - 3/4 of the times I boot my PC to 10.04 RC, It quickly goes into a white screen at the beginning and then just hangs there. I updated from 9.1 and it did this, then I fresh installed and had same issue, including when I tried to boot of the 10.04RC boot CD (before 10.04 was even installed). There is nothing listed under sys/admin/hardware. In all cases, I have to hold power button, and keep rebooting...eventually, it will boot normally. I had no problems in 9.04 (nor on XP which I had on the system originally). I do not have a dual boot system, only ubuntu.

[Staff Note: This thread was spun off from here: HOWTO: Purge and Reinstall Grub 2 from the Live CD This solved the Grub problem but the crashes continue.]
Just as I get up and running again my 10.04 (64 bit) either freezes up totally, closes all windows that are open, fails to restart or shut down forcing a restart.
There's no pattern to it, i might be using the gimp or checking thunderbird emails, possibly just surfing or running bluefish. Nothing major and I'm not one to go delving under the bonnet so to speak and start tweaking things. I have the AWN dock installed and run a dual monitor setup.
Everytime it's crashed, the damn thing doesn't reboot, I get the init =bootarg message I've been reading a lot about and once again I have to run the liveCD and spend several minutes farting about purging and reinstalling grub.
I despise Windows, overall I am enjoying my ubuntu experience but things like this stop me getting any work done.
My PC ran fine for the last 2 days then suddenly it's playing up again. It's not an old machine, quad core processor, plenty of RAM.
I am having to back stuff up as soon as I do it due to so many crashes per day. I have reinstalled the OS and started again from scratch 4 times now in the last month.
The last thing I want to do is go back to Windoze but I am seriously running out of patience with ubuntu.

This little guide is for anyone with an HP Touchsmart Tm2 series running Ubuntu 10.04 and above. PLEASE NOTE: These workarounds, solutions, and tips have been tested and verified to work on an HP Touchsmart Tm2-2050us running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx and Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat. Installation: There are no problems I have experienced with installation except for the display not working on the live USB/CD images occasionally, this can be fixed by simply closing the display lid, and reopening it (this usually has to be done at least 2 or 3 times). Display: Most times after boot up, the display is black. A workaround for this is closing the lid and reopening it (repeat until the display works). Another reported solution is as follows:
1) Open a terminal
2) Type:
Code:
sudo nano /etc/rc.local 3) Add this to the bottom of the file (this disables the ATI part of the hybrid graphics card):
Code:
echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
4) Press CTRL-X (to exit), Y (to save changes), and ENTER/RETURN to accept the file name.
5) Reboot
Note: This solution is also reported to increase battery life.
Trackpad: It may seem that the right click button is disabled, but it isn't. To right click, you must tap the very bottom right corner of the trackpad. Also, by default the trackpad does not have multi-touch enabled (even though it is capable of it). A reported solution for this is:
1) Open a terminal
2) Type:
Code:
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-two-finger-scroll-touchsmart-tm2.conf
3) Add this to the bottom of the file:
Code:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "enable synaptics SHMConfig"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
