Ubuntu :: Line Not Breaking?
Jan 9, 2010
The problem is: after i typed: cat </dev/urandom (i think it inserted a controll character where i cant find it)at my bash prompt (sh and python are fine) and only once per prompt before the line should break it just starts at the beginning of the same line and overwrites itsself (only on the screen its interpreted as typed) .This really bugs me because i love working with bash and i don't want to reinstall the system.I tryed reinstalling bash and readline without success.is there any config files i could check? my PS1=e[44m[e]0;u@h: wa]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}u@h:w$ e[0m

I started using 10.10 a few months ago and had very few problems aside from a few minor issues with Wine. I frequently used Skype under 10.10 and it ran perfectly with no issues whatsoever.
Recently I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 and well... basically things have just gone downhill from there.
Over the past few days Skype has been ridiculously unstable, I'll be talking to somebody using text chat and it will essentially freeze up. These freezes can occur within minutes of starting Skype and are very infuriating. I am still able to type and send messages but the "message not sent" icon will appear next to each of them and the timestamp on each message will be identical (the messages in question will not send even after a restart of Skype). This problem will persist until I force-quit the application, closing it normally will not work and often I have to restart my computer entirely before it will work again.
I have tried updating to the latest version of Skype to no avail (if anything I think it has made matters worse, but that may just be my imagination.)
I'm not particularly command savvy, just posting on the off chance that anybody has encountered the same problem or has found a relatively simple fix. I don't really want to have to re-install the entire OS just to roll back to 10.10.

Is there a way to uninstall all the bloat without breaking ubuntu? It seems like some things (banshee, the calendar, ubuntu one) are integrated with the notifcations and probably other areas too. I think last time I uninstalled them, the calendar was still there in the notifications but clicking a date did nothing, and I'm sure there were other leftover goodies that I didn't take time to find before re-fresh-installing ubuntu. I think ubuntu has a lot of potential as a linux distro, but I'm not interested in their promoted software (i.e. libreoffice)
Another question: when you install an application in windows and then uninstall it, there remain uninstalled changes to your system (leftover icons, links, shortcuts, folders, files, registry entries) like the uninstaller was drunk on the job. Is this fixed in ubuntu or are there remnants of everything you uninstall?Also comments welcome on what you consider both bloat and safe to uninstall.

Everything works great at the moment, no hardware problems or anything like that. But whenever I enable the proprietary nVidia driver 185, it causes the boot screen to not come up, Ubuntu stops recognising my sound-card and refuses to work and when I try to shut down or restart, it just takes me back to the log in screen. When I remove the driver, everything works okay again.

I'm on Karmic, and currently the only firefox I have in the repository is 3.5.9, but I would like to install 3.6. Is there a way to just upgrade the current Firefox install without breaking any of my addons/settings or synaptic (and avoid having it screw the version up later)?

Please review my webmin Linux firewall. This is a squid proxy / Firewall / Router. Everything works fine until I change that last line to reject or drop all. Then the traffic behind the firewall that is trying to reach the internet gets borked. I can only assume that something is killing the connections to squid. But everything looks right to me. Here is my prerouting. (please ignore the green box) The red box is the action to be taken following the given rule. But I don't think the problem is in prerouting.

I have an Asus eeePC 1001PX which I have installed Linux to. With a 160 GB hard drive, space is limited, which makes it a problem for me that Asus has chosen to place the 16 GB Windows Recovery partition (which I intend to keep in case of emergency or sale) in the middle of the disk, essentially preventing me from partitioning the disk to my liking with one partition taking up the entire drive (except the space used by the recovery partition. Is there any way to move the recovery partition to the beginning or to the end of the disk without breaking it?

On my Sid box, I did an update and it appears it also updates udev's rule set that doesn't like the notion of dm-crypt or LVM. For example:
Code:
trilarian@Debian-Desktop:~$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/dm-1 9.9G 2.4G 7.1G 26% /
tmpfs 438M 0 438M 0% /lib/init/rw
udev 10M 192K 9.9M 2% /dev
tmpfs 438M 0 438M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/md0 94M 83M 12M 88% /boot
/dev/dm-2 1008M 630M 328M 66% /var
/dev/dm-3 600G 291G 310G 49% /home
When I used to run df I would get lvm/dm name instead of number, like:
Code:
/dev/mapper/raid-root 9.9G 2.4G 7.1G 26% /
What I need to change in udev to restore the old function?

I've only gone into the first case statement of the first switch and I am trying to get out of it but the break statement I added doesn't seem to have any effect and it just goes on to the next case instead of exiting the switch.
Code:
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class A2 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
double gross_Pay;
int payment_Method;
final double salary_Pay = 1000.00;
final double hourly_Pay = 25.00;
double overtime1 = 20.00;
double overtime2 = 30.00; .....

I continually get times where an applet on the top panel breaks, such as the Indicator Session Applet, where it doesn't show the applet, and is mimicking the clocks display, but frozen, and no functionality. This is seen in the photo, where you can clearly see the right time and applet as 5:11 and the frozen one as 4:49.

Working with Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 4). Working at a new company, and the previous guy had created a shell script to take care of a specific task. His role was unique as the manager took advantage of his programming ability (wasn't a part of his job). On top of that, I'm no programmer either. I'm trying to figure out what this script is doing because it's throwing a warning.
REM this is remove /home/public/ccnf* (remove anything that starts with ccnf) rm /home/public/ccnf*
I understand that this retrieves anything that starts with ccnf that has been changed at any given time, but I don't understand anything else after -ctime...
find /usr/CC/DATA1/RPT/ -name "ccnf*" -ctime -1 -print | xargs fgrep -l "GB-1 " > /tmp/t.file
REM while read line = read each line that is "printed" from the above command? while read line do
REM copy each line that was read from above command to /home/public/ cp -p $line /home/public/
REM don't know about this one =( done < /tmp/t.file
REM remove /tmp/t.file that was made by previous command? rm /tmp/t.file

Take this block of pseudocode:
Code:
for i in $list; do
<some statements>
if i > 5
exit
<more statements>
done
That is, want to terminate the iteration just after 5 iterations. A first problem, is that list is a string and not a number. It's all I can say, except to keep reading bash monster manual.

I am still running Debian Lenny and have found that the curl version 7.18 is just too outdated for my needs, I would rather not do an upgrade just yet to the stable release of squeeze. I was looking for some information on how I could install a newer version of curl and libcurl without breaking my system.

I have two files, file1.traj and file2.traj. Both these files contain identical data and the data are arranged in same format in them. The first line of both files is a comment.
At line 7843 of both files there is a cartesian coordinate X, Y and Z ( three digits ). And at line 15685 there is another three digits. The number of lines in between two cartesian coordinates are 7841. And there are few hundreds of thousands of lines in a file.
What I need to do is copy the X Y Z coordinate (three digits) from file1.traj at line 7843 and paste into file2.traj at the same line number as in file1.traj. The next line will be 15685 from file1.traj and replace at line 15685 at file2.traj. And I dont want other lines (data) in file2.traj get altered. This sequence shall be going on until the end of the file. Means copy and substitude the selected lines from file1.traj into file2.traj.
I tried to use paste command but I cant do for specified line alone.
Here i showed the data format in the file. I used the line number for clarity purpose.

The Sound notifications are "breaking" ,i cant another word to describe it only hear it by frames. My friends talking the same thing. And when i start to talk the green light pops up a litle after i start talking. I recorded my voice for testing, and its framing/breaking as well.

Ubuntu does not see any hardware RAIDs on this server - Intel confirms that they do not support Debian distros with this onboard SATA controller.
Tried going with CentOS and OpenSUSE ... CentOS would install, but wouldn't boot. OpenSUSE would work but after multiple installs, Samba wouldn't start.
That left us with Ubuntu Server.
While Ubuntu Server can't see a hardware raid, it can see each of the hard drives individually. From there, I created a software RAID during Ubuntu setup and was able to install.
Initially had some issues with mdadm "losing" the hot-spare ... was able to fix that by adding sd[abc][12] to /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf ...
It worked fine until I plugged a WD MyBook usb hard drive into the machine.
I lose the hot spare (configured on /dev/sdc) because it mounts the USB hard drive there.
I need to be able to make it mount the USB hard drive AFTER mdadm configures /dev/sdc as the 3rd Hitachi hard drive
What needs to be done to make this work?
