May 26, 2010So I'm getting a new laptop soon, and it ships with Windows 7 64-bit. So I assume I have to use 10.04 64-bit. I noticed that the download page says "not recommended for daily use". I was wondering why this is, and if there were any things I need to look out for when using Ubuntu and 64-bit. I read the older FAQ thread in the closed 64-bit forum, but I wanted to make sure I got more recent information.
View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: Recommended Way To Set Up FTP Users That Access Same Files?
Mar 23, 2010I have a server setup with all my web development stuff in /var/www and in several sub-folders within that. (each project having it's own folder)It works great with one FTP account. But recently I've been getting help on a projects from a buddy of mine that freelances, and have made him an FTP user account as well. All is fine, except for when he tries to edit a file and gets a permissions error.
Here's the issue, I don't want us to have the same FTP login, but all the files are currently owned by my user name. So, when he logs in to edit a file, he can't because I'm the owner, and the files are set to 744. Will I cause any harm by adding both users to the same group (www-data) and chmod'ing the files to 775 so that we can both access and modify the files?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: How To Have Desktop Effects Without Installing FGLRX - Lucid Daily
Apr 24, 2010I have a Dell Studio 1537 Laptop with what lspci calls an "ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3400" graphics card. Today I downloaded a daily image of Lucid, threw it on a USB drive, and booted it up. As I go to install the restricted driver for my graphics card, I notice that clicking on a panel item triggers the star burst effect. Come to find out that I can set desktop effects to "extra" and get smooth wobbly windows and everything.
Why are desktop effects working? I've always had to install FGLRX before, did the open source driver somehow get 3D support? Am I missing something? I almost feel like Compiz is performing better-- smoother, less tearing, etc.

Apr 29, 2011I read one release goal for wheezy which I had read few days ago, dnssec for wheezy.
[url]
Now the only thing I understood is this will make it harder for the bad guys to give any fake packages while I'm updating from a debian mirror .
Am I correct in assuming that ?
Also do I just have to install the autotrust package and wait for the dnssec-conf to be packaged and installed, correct ?

Aug 26, 2010I have a 64-bit computer and needed to download 10.04 again and now notice the following:64-bit - Not recommended for daily desktop usage.This worries me so I would like to ask a couple of questions here if I may.
QUESTION ONE
What version, on a 64-bit machine, should I download for use every day and all day?
QUESTION TWO
If the answer to Question One is, "use the 32-bit version", and I have 8GB of memory, I can only use 3.4GB with 32-bit so would the other memory be available to use if I downloaded vbox and used a second operating system?
Ubuntu :: Recommended Alternative For Xmarks?
Jan 30, 2010I've been having some issues with the speed of firefox recently (on a netbook) and have been trying out other browsers such as chrome and midori. Currently I'm using xmarks, which fits my needs nicely however, I'm looking for an alternative that gives similar functionality and would allow me to access my bookmarks from several different computers (using both midori and chrome browsers).
xmarks has a development version for chrome, which is not working at the moment, and I cannot find any plans for xmarks in midori.

View 8 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Can't Boot 10.10 After Recommended Updates?
Dec 25, 2010I have Ubuntu 10.10 but I can only use Windows 7 now (I hate it). Here's why: when I go to the boot screen and I am given the choice of using Windows 7 or Ubuntu and I select Ubuntu, the screen goes black and says:
error: unknown command 'loadfont' error: file not found
Then I have to reset my laptop and use Windows 7. This happened when I was using Ubuntu like I usually did and I downloaded recommended updates from Ubuntu. I downloaded them and I was asked to reset my laptop for it to be effective. I did and when the boot screen came up it said what it says above. I can't even get to the login screen. I've been searching everywhere for an answer.

View 8 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Adept Daily Upgrade Of Xulrunner-1.9 In 8.04 32 Bit?
May 21, 2010I am running firefox-mozilla-build (3.6.3-0ubuntu1) on 8.04 32 bit (this is not the system listed in my sig or user information). In general it works very, very well. Every day Adept has me update xulrunner-1.9.
I can run apt-get autoremove, update, upgrade with no errors. I see others on this forum have this error, but I can find no solutions posted for it. I used to run Namoroka 3.6.2pre from launchpad and had the same problem. Nothing could uninstall it except Synaptic "Completely remove". I removed all firefoxes and xulrunner at that time and then reinstalled 3.6.3 which works great. I hoped that would fix the xulrunner issue but no dice. While running 3.6.2pre I had the same issue.

Ubuntu Security :: Using Root As Daily Login?
Jan 22, 2011It's my personal computer, no other users, no one else in the house. I'm behind a separate stand alone firewall (Checkpoint device). I'm the admin on my machine and I'm going to enter sudo, or login as root, every time I need it anyway.
There's no way that having to switch to root is going to make me stop and think about what I'm getting ready to do. In fact it's quite the opposite. If I'm in the midst of troubleshooting, I'm preparing to enter a command that I think is going to work, and I get "Permission denied"... The aggravation is more likely to reduce my logical thinking, and I'll immediately switch to root and type it anyway.
I DO understand the rational of setting users (even admin users) to a lower permission level. However I don't understand the lack of a command to make a user PERMANENTLY root equivilent. Switching back and forth is a waste of time. AND it means that I now have to deal with two home directories... /root and /home/user. Having to type sudo, or su to switch to root, does not protect my system. It only aggravates.
