I had problem with installing Nvidia, I install all available packages for Nvidia from Synaptic, restart the computer, and that is it. I can not access the windows interface anymore. Every time I restart my computer I got to TTY mode. I run Xorg.0.log and It seems that I have problem with the graphic card. I tried alt+ctrl+f7 and no luck. How can I get to safe mode or x interface (I believe it is called GUI or GDM!!!)? Do I need to reinstall ubuntu again?
I have a problem and it's for days now, I really can't get used to it to the new interface, so how to set it back to the old interface like it was on the older Ubuntu versions?
Having just upgraded to 10.10, I've discovered Unity, and I'm afraid its not for me. I absolutely loved the previous interface, and was quite shocked and saddened to see it disappear. But I'd like to keep all the other new software that comes with 10.10. So my question is, can I install the old 10.04 beautiful interface to run on the 10.10 edition? Re-installation is a MS solution, that turned me on to linux in the first place!
I am some LinuxUNIX history but still consider my self a newbie.I know Microsoft OS well and am more comfortable with that but willing to learn Linux as well.I have a CentOS 5.5 Server I am using to Host over 18 other sites with a PERL / Web based application.The application and hosting are still working but since the CentOS updates I ran this morning my Session (I think that is the correct word) will only load a black desktop with the top menu bar only having the terminal icon and the bottom having a desktop icon; whereas prior to this update the default CentOS blue backdrop with white flower pattern and Applications, Places, System with the terminal icon and other icons displayed and the clock was off to the right.I think this is the Gnome GUI?
Also On Friday 6-24-11 I added a device line to the /etc/fstab so that my CD/DVD device would load up at boat time. I would not think this to be causing the problem.Please advise me on how to get back my regular GUI interface for this Desktop.

When I do...# iptables -L...I see rules in my INPUT and OUTPUT chains that look scary:ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere...but these rules only apply to the loopback interface. I tested it and the server cannot be reached on open ports from the outside world. How can I make iptables show the interfaces that the rules apply to?Otherwise, every time I do iptables -L it will scare the crap out of me.
I found multiple sites explaining how to add IPs to a network interface as virtual interface like eth0:0. However I can add IPs to an interface as well using the ip command: ip a a 192.168.2.2/24 dev eth0 What I want to know is how I can make this persistent on rhel/centos.
10.04 I managed to delete the Volume Applet that appears by default on the task bar. I'm sure it used to be listed in 'Add to Panel' in other version of Ubuntu however I can't see it there in 10.04. Can someone explain to me how I get it back?
i have noticed that if vista is not the active partition, hybernate does not work. it just goes black and then back to the user icon screen to log back in. another "slight" problem was that i was not able to apply a service pack. after restoring vistas dominance i was able to install the pack. is there any other work arounds for hybernate? even though you might not be interested in cleaning up after microsoft.
it was possible to back up time machine back ups from a mac in ubuntu.

I have managed to open the hard drive and have enabled view hidden files so i can see all the files but i am unable to copy them due to permission errors
The following are the output of command "ifconfig -a":

The interface "eth0", which is down, was not displayed, but loopback interface has been displayed. So, how can I make my application display all interfaces, including the interfaces which are down, but excluding the loopback interface?
I,m using Ubuntu 10.10 with Gimp. Ive got a lot of photos etc and need to back these up. Can I anyone suggest a good backup solution which does not require e to keep copying the same files? IE: Once the files are backed up I only want to back the files used since last back up?
I recently installed language packs for Japanese and changed my system language to it, too. The problem is, now that I try to go back to English, the locale doesn't change back, only the menus are in english. "Apply system wide" in the Language Support didn't do anything; Firefox is in japanese too. Here is my locale output:
I have been searching for this, but can't seem to find a definite answer. I am running Ubuntu 9.10 on my iBook G3. The gnome interface seems to be a little much for it. I am trying to find out if there is anyway to put UNR on an iBook G3 or at least the stripped down interface.
I am having an annoying problem with ubuntu 10.04. with SSH, I get connected to a linux server. The command line works well. But I can NOT get a graphic interface from it. For example:
I currently have a database that I would like to be able to update using a web interface and then display on the website. I would like users to be able to update the database by entering one record at a time with around 10 fields of information (drop down menus and text boxes). I am unfortunately using MS SQL for my DB as of right now.
I am trying to interface a machine (lock in amplifier) with Ubuntu using a RS 232(25pin) to USB cable. I wrote a program in c to interact with the machine. I think the machine is detected (after connecting the machine a file is created in folder /dev with name ttyusb1. I heard that ubuntu has all the header files required to interface with the port. with the help of a person i wrote this program (please see the attachment below.) but i don't know whether the commands are right or wrong. the program is compiled. but when i run the program it is getting stuck. i have to stop the program using Ctrl+z. if anyone knows these commands (how to write to or read from the port) please help me with this program.
I'm an absolute beginner and I've recently upgraded to 10.04 Lucid on a Dell laptop. Upon booting I get only a terminal window instead of the usual ubuntu graphic interface.
I'm using the Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Remix and therefore I have the built-in netbook interface: (pictured) תצלום מסך-1.jpgIs there any way to remove this and get the standard desktop? because in this one I don't really have a desktop and can't create Shortcuts to specific files and folders.
I would like to start the x graphical interface without using GDM. I may be using the wrong terms here for x. Maybe it is called xdm or x11 or something.) I have set GDM to login without asking me for a password (I am the only user of this machine.) Sometimes, it still pops up the GDM login screen and if I select "actions" "reboot" (my memory tells me that is what it was,) it will reboot without asking to login, but the fonts are all wrong. If I select "apps" "restart" and it DOESN'T ask for my login, all is OK.
I would like to uninstall GDM, and place whatever GDM uses to start the graphical interface into the /ect/rc2.d startup scripts. I know GDM does other stuff then just logs me in and starts the graphical user interface, and I think I would like to maintain some of that, but I think I would like to manually insert the startup sequence in the startup scripts. Question one, can someone tell me where to look to find out what GDM is doing now so I can attempt to replicate it?
#2, does someone know the startup script line(s) to start the x server and graphical interface without GDM? I think this has bees asked before, but it seems hard to search older posts.
I successfully installed the nessus. It was .deb file . first of all, I type "sudo dpkg -i Nessus-4.2.2-ubuntu910_amd64.deb". The output of this command was "You can start nessusd by typing /etc/init.d/nessusd start" That's why I type that command and I get " $Starting Nessus : ." There is nothing like interface of this software, when I try to search GUI from synaptic package manager. So What should I do ?
After an update (and a restart), everything has become extremely sluggish to respond to my mouse and keyboard. It takes around 6 seconds to change a tab in Firefox, even changing windows will take 2 seconds before the new window will respond to typing (anything I type in the meantime simply doesn't appear).
Here is Synaptic's history from yesterday, I was wondering if any of the version numbers look off to somebody, or if somebody knows which is the offending package:
I am having trouble setting up my second network interface on Ubuntu Server 10.04. When setting up the machine it did detect both cards but I only picked one to configure, and now I want to setup the second.
I went into /etc/interfaces and basically copied the settings for eth0 but changed the IP and the name to eth1. I then restarted.
Quite honestly it might be working! But when I run ifconfig -a I see no packets I see
Quote:
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0e:0c:59:af:c4 inet addr:192.168.4.21 Bcast:192.168.4.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
[Code].....
isn't that what "UP BROADCAST...." line means?
So perhaps my question is how do I test my 2nd interface? I tried using the 2nd IP with Putty (which is how I usually work on the machine) and couldn't connect.
I fresh installed the Virtualbox GTK interface in 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 LTS from the Ubuntu Software Center, and it won't launch from the menu. When I try it from the terminal, this is the error readout:
