View 3 RepliesI have ubuntu 10.10 desktop .. and i wanna try The new Gnome shell?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've searched and read lots about trying to get gnome-shell to run in Virtualbox(v4) with no success on my end. Lots of the posts are outdated and are using Virtualbox 3.
So anyone have any tips or hints for testing the Gnome-shell? (I'd prefer to test in with 10.10 in Virtualbox 4, but am open to upgrading to 11.04 if necessary)
Just for some testing on a test non-productive machine, how to allow Gnome login by root user on squeeze?

You can try to start the mysqld daemon with:
shell> /home/mosty/mysql/bin/mysqld --skip-grant &
and use the command line tool /home/mosty/mysql/bin/mysql to connect to the mysql database and look at the grant tables:
shell> /home/mosty/mysql/bin/mysql -u root mysql
mysql> show tables

I bought a new 1.5TB SATA drive (WD15EARS), now I intend to thoroughly test it for bad sectors and other issues, before it will become part of a server raid array.
Are there any good testing tools out there to perform read/write compare operations allover the disk space?
I want to test automatically if the USB ports are in use.
I want to test it in a bash script
I found some information about ttyUSB0 in the /dev/
The problem is, there is usb hub between the system and the mouse/keyboard. The other USB port is in use for the Ubuntu live usb.
When I open the /dev/ map virtual and pull out the usb keyboard the hidraw1 diappears, same for the keyboard.
When both are out and I pull out the usb hub, nothing happens.
Do anyone know how to test it?
IM using Ubuntu 9.10 running from USB,
My current text.cfg --->

i tried to add these lines in the test.cfg , but its not working. i do hav these folders and files with in the disk,
If you still have windows on some of your machines and a bit of free drive space, your help testing Wubi for the 10.04 Lucid release would be most welcome.Please use the latest Wubi version available on [URL] There is no need to burn or use a CD, Wubi will automatically download and use the latest daily ISO.If you have any issue, follow this procedure:
Uninstall and try with a clean installation using the latest revision from the above link
If that does not help, when you reboot into Ubuntu the first time, you can press ESC for more installation boot options, sometimes those fix the issue. Check [URL] if there is already an open bug, in case feel free to add a comment in there If none of the above helps, feel free to ask on this thread (I am subscribed). If you think you stumbled upon a new bug, an even better place for reporting your issue is [URL] More points if you attach the wubi.log file which is located in your user temp directory.
Just a test, how to delete the thread...

I would like to know as you see in windows, when you plug in a device it tells you some thing whether it is 2.0 or not. Is there a way to tell if the usb extension cable is 2.0 compatible? How about the usb device itself?

This is the default web page for this server. The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.
I know my driver works and that cups is up and running, because I can print off test pages to my heart's content, but I can't get any actual documents printed. I'm connected over the network at work to a Japanese NEC MultiWriter 3650n (it seems to be Japanese-only---I could find on drivers was in Japanese). It shows up in System=>Administration=>Printing. I set it as the default printer, and, as I said, it prints off test pages without a hitch. But whenever I open, say, a PDF and try to print it, the document appears to get sent, but never actually prints, and never shows up in the print queue (while the completed test pages do).

View 1 Replies View RelatedSomething bad happened to my partition table, so right now I'm working from a Live CD. My partition table is completely screwed, although the data on the lost partitions hasn't been overwritten. I've been messing around with TestDisk for about an hour, but I still didn't figure out how to fix my problem.
Before the crash, I had 5 partitions:
And here comes the extended partition:
TestDisk can see all those five partitions. I can mark swap as Logical, but I can't do so with the 400GB NTFS partition - there is just no selection. Turning on "expert mode" didn't help. I have read about using sfdisk to fix partition table, but I don't think I'm able to do it by myself.
Here's how it looks in TestDisk:
Code:
And, here is my slightly modified sfdisk table dump:
Code:
I've filled sizes according to TestDisk's findings. First 3 partitions were OK, the problem lies in the extended partition holding 2 logical ones.
I was trying to write a script, but for some reason I can't test two variables using -gt:
a=`expr $currentSize + 0`
b=`expr $fileSize + 0`
[$a -gt $b]
this is what I get:
[22234534: not found
what is the problem? It seems like I can't check if a variable is greater than another but only if a variable is greater than a fixed number. Is that so? By the way the variables $fileSize and $currentSize exist and $a and $b have a value.
I'm looking for system stability test software to stress test all of my hardware. I used to use Everest on windows, and I found a closed source program called burnintest that should do what I like, but it uses KDE 3, which I never use. Is there a ubuntu friendly (open source a plus) stability software in existence?If nothing exists, I'll have to make one.Waspinator[URL]
View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter turning off the overclocking (When I actually turned it off, I realized it didn't really make a noticeable difference) of my CPU and lowering the fans of my PC, I would like to stress test the GPU/CPU, and obviously also check the temps while doing so. The fans on my PC were previously so loud you couldn't even have a conversation on the phone while in the same room as the computer, and I just now realized how much I can actually lower them... But I don't want to lower them too much, obviously.
So, anyway, because of these reasons I would like to stress test my CPU/GPU while monitoring the temperatures. I'd need software for doing so, Linux or Windows doesn't really matter, I have both. Also, I need to know what minimum/maximum temperatures that are okay.
So I activated the Firefox profile:
Code:
And restarted Firefox (even rebooted), but it doesn't seem to be working. When I open Firefox I am able to perform a "Save Page As" in locations I shouldn't be able to, like my Desktop or Pictures folder.
The following command says the Firefox process is in enforce mode:
Code:
Of the following lines, the only directory which is "rw" is /Downloads, why am I still able to write to other places?
Code:
OS: Ubuntu 10.10
Can someone with an active Firefox profile do this simple test for me? Click File -> Save As and try to save somewhere the Apparmor profile shouldn't let you, and let me know the results.
I installed my epson stylus tx420w through cups web interface. I used the PPD file provided by the driver recommended in linuxprinting.org.But when I try to print the test page (or anything else), nothing is printed. According to the diagnostics, the printer status is "Processing page 1...", but it won't go beyond that.I've already tested it, it's fine. But won't work in ubuntu. Don't know what's going on.

is there a way of testing the eth0->wlan0 routing from the machine itself? The routing table looks sound, but I would like a quick way of confirming it. Is there a tool, like PING or TRACEROUTE which will let me say "ping [URL] going through eth0" ?
I want to test whether or not my phone is connected from bash. I'm finding lots of information about /dev/rfcomm0, but that's not on my system (Ubuntu 10.04).
