During the past days, I've tried "everything" to get flash working in my fresh Natty 64 Bits install to my Acer Aspire 5745G -laptop. I've read countless of hours through the forums, but none of the tips have helped in my case. Using the latest Firefox and Chromium.
For example, I've downloaded the 64 Bits "libflashplayer.so" from Adobe:[URL].. and put it into: sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins and restarted the browsers, even the entire PC, but still flash doesn't work. What an I doing wrong?
I just insatlled Ubuntu 11.04 64 bits and I've got one big problem. In fact, I tried to install Emerald and it crashed immediatly. Since that I can not have any effects on my computer. I tried
Code:
compiz --replace
but nothing happened really. I just have a lot of errors I don't understand.
Code:
Backend : gconf

since i upgraded to natty recently the lexmark x2650 stopped printing, the scanning continues to work. I can install the driver which is offered by lexmark, but not print. I am using natty 32bit, and the driver is lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh.zip The error output looks like this:

I have spent the last two weekends trying to get Vista and Ubuntu(natty) to work together.From Ubuntu:
- I have disabled ufw
- setup a shared directory at /mnt/public (Permissions on public are 777)
- Ubuntu can access Vista shares.
- From the GUI, the "Network Servers" directory contains a "Windows Network" directory, but the Windows Network is empty.
- I can ping the Vista machine
From Vista:
- Nothing is visible. The ubuntu PC itself is not listed in the "Network" folder or map.
- I have disabled all firewalls (including the router)
- I can ping the ubuntu machine by IP address but cannot access it by IP address through
- "Run" - I enter \192.168.1.50, then get the logon pop-up. I enter the ubuntu creds, then receive a "Windows cannot connect to \192.168.1.50..." error message.
- "Command Prompt" ftp (or sftp) - I get connection refused.
- via "Web Browser" - I get the following message: "It works! This is the default web page for this server. The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet." The problem is that it doesn't work.
Everything I have googled up so far has been problems connecting in the opposite direction. I am trying to get to the Ubuntu machine. Although I checked all the smb.conf, inetd.conf and a few other files that I've seen mentioned, I cannot get the Vista machine to connect to the ubuntu machine.
Is there a version of synfigstudio that will work on natty? If so can I get a script to download and install it? If not, can someone suggest an alternative?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble making a back-up of my system through back in time. I use the sudo option because I need to back up my mysql and apache configurations apart from the usual home directories. My back up runs to an external hard drive.
Now every time I run the back up, it takes 45-90 minutes to do its thing but at the end in the left bottom corner comes a message saying that the back-up couldn't be done.
I have tried several things, like making more space in the hard drive, running without sudo but to no avail.
I have an old ibm thinkpad R40. I did a fresh install of natty. Cannot get wireless or wired to work. I just want the wireless to work first if possible. So I have no Internet access. Can't upgrade etc. I am a noob and need to be hand held and walked through process.

I did a clean install and mounted my user folders/partitions back after removing everything else from the Home drive to ensure no incompatible leftovers from Maverick.Now, I am dissapointed to see that I can't get blur on my transparent windows. This worked like a charm in Maverick and it looked brilliant but now it's often hard to tell windows apart if there are windows below the active one. So I had to turn down transparency... I have D-bus enabled, proprietary drivers installed and I have been Google-searching like crazy to find a solution. None.. Do any of you know the status of this plugin in Natty? Should it work, does it? Or not?I have Focus blur activated and working, it helps but not enough. My videocard is Radeon HD 4650 (AGP).

View 5 Replies View RelatedI read that Natty will use Unity as the preferred desktop environment, together with Compiz. I found that on my system Compiz - while very neat - will cause instability so I'd rather not use it. How would the desktop stack look for a user not wanting to run Compiz under Natty? Can I use Mutter with Unity? Or maybe I should replace Unity with Gnome? Will my Ubuntu like this (replacing Unity with Gnome)? Will Ubuntu make it easy for users to dump Compiz if they want to do so?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm on Natty since yesterday but I started the day before. My first impression was great. I now had an option top upgrade from 10.10 and not loose my data! So I did. It all went fine until the point where The Upgrade tries to restore my applications. It failed and returned the message:
unbalanced group option, expect badness.
And that was it! And I would have been waiting a very long time if I wasn't looking the details of what's going on because from here and after a 3rd try, I went to sleep online to find out I was still expecting badness the next day. I did a hard reboot and tried login in. I reached the login screen with success but could never login. I was using the encryption options which it seems comes after the restoration of application.
The symptoms are those of a wrong password. I finally did a clean install and restored my data from my backups (wouldn't try something new without a backup). Otherwise, I like Unity. I see a few things that needs polishing here and there but I don't mind using it. I think that voices from people liking it need to be heard as well because they usually don't have a reason to complain and it then looks like every body think Unity is not good.
I would like that the shortcut <super>+<space> open gnome-do. I set all this in gnome-do already, but everytime I hit the <super> key, the unity menu shows up. I'm using 11.04, 32bit on a lenovo 3000 V200.

Can someone tell me how to get my DVD Writer working again. DVD's (all) are not detected at all by the system. They must atleast be mounted or something but nothing. I even check the Disk utility to see if the system can see the DVD but not able to mount it. No luck. The DVD is not Detected. btw All the DVD's i tested work fine in windows

I upgraded to Natty Narwhal about a week after it was released and haven't had any problems until last night. The screen froze so I had to use the power button to turn my laptop off and now I cant get it to load. I have tried the safe mode and regular startup. Please forgive my terminology mistakes. I put a hard drive with Windows 7 loaded in my laptop so I could start this thread and feel it could crash at any time. It says failure is imminent, so I'm on borrowed time. Natty is installed on my hard drive that is sitting beside me right now. So any troubleshooting will require me to switch hard drives around.
Anyway, when I tried to get Natty to load the hard drive light basically stays on, Unity desktop won't load, and the Gnome desktop sorta loads. I wish I had the error messages written down so this may be a waste of time. I'm getting messages that different applets cant load, such as the workplace switcher, clock applet, and a couple more that I can't remember right off. The home screen doesn't show the trash can, workplace windows, time, or the button to shut down, restart, etc. Nothing will load. The hard drive light runs constantly
Also, on two occasions when I tried to load, the ubuntu screen with the four little dots below the word that scroll left to right, said the hard drive couldnt be found or was not ready. it gave me the option to continue manually, continue, or skip.
I apologize for my idiotic ramble without proper terminology and hope some of this makes sense. Is my hard drive shot? Any way to check that?
Just started up my Log Viewer on a fresh install of Natty, and it complains there are a bunch of log files missing:
Code:
HOWEVER, this raises a number of questions.
1) Why are these files not here any more? I don't know of a single Linux distribution which doesn't have a /var/log/messages file.
2) Is the lack of these files to do with changes in Natty, or is there something badly wrong with my machine?
3) If these have been removed on purpose, where should I be looking for this information now?
4) Howcome this information wasn't broadcast to the community? One simple solution would be to retain the file /var/log/messages and fill it with the message "This file isn't used any more, please look in xxxx"

An accidental toe tap ended with me bumping my head and pressing the X button on firefox. What happen had to be 1 out of a billionth of a chance. So this version will be simple and to the point, until I can muster enough patience to detail it all out again. Please correct any errors.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI wanted to try out the Natty beta 1, but apparently it fails to load the graphics drivers. When I run the "Additional drivers" app, no drivers are listed. I installed the nvidia-current package and rebooted, but nothing happened. This problem occurs with an install in a VirtualBox machine, as well as with the live CD. Running Maverick with Compiz and the proprierary Nvidia drivers on a Lenovo T61 with Nvidia Quadro NVS 140, built in 2008. I hope this machine is not too old already to upgrade to Natty?! What can I do to see the fully graphics-enabled Natty/Unity desktop on my laptop?
