Ubuntu :: Multiple Currently And Would Like Some Assistance?
Dec 7, 2010
Well first I'll give you some background info. I have Ubuntu 10.10 x64 8 gigs of ram AMD 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ ATI graphics card I just installed Ubuntu on my second HDD yesterday and am using my BIOS to switch between the OSes (basically just staying in Ubuntu in other words. I have had no issues installing Ubuntu what-so-ever.
Heres where my issues come in. Firstly every time I restart my computer it doesn't allow my bluetooth devices (mouse + keyboard. Both made by mircosoft. Dongle is a microsoft product as well) to connect right away. I have to go into the BT settings and click "Make my computer visible" (or something to that effect). After I do this (all on my wired keyboard and mouse) and i hit a button on my keyboard and mouse they are then able to operate my computer. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Another issue that I am having is that my computer WILL NO LONGER recognize the names nor the demintions of either of my monitors (a visio 42 inch connected via HDMI and a acer 22 inch connected via VGA. both going to an ati graphics card). On top of this my computer will not switch the default monitor from my 42 inch to my 22 inch and this is the larger of the two issues in this section due to the fact that I dont always use my TV -> thats usually when I'm watching movies Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
I am extremely new to Ubuntu and Linux as a whole. I have greatly enjoyed the learning experiences that I have had in the past two days. Also I just prefer Ubuntu to windows. Its sleek its fast and its fun to tinker with . If it would not be a problem please explain the reasoning behind any solutions. And PLEASE feel free to ask any questions, Im here to help you help me! Just kidding. If i can ever return the favor just let me know!

I was just trying to open a CD for the first time and when I try to open the DVD-rom drive, it says that it is unable to mount. I saw in some other forums that I should open up a terminal and use "su" to switch over to root. However, when it asks for my password, I put in my password for logon and says Authentication Failure. So I try to put in the Ubuntu disk I have to reload the system, but when I restart the machine, it doesn't read my DVD-rom drive.

I have an apache2 web server running on ubuntu server (Ver 2.6.27-7-server) running just a basic Mediawiki site for our group internally. It's just a basic info wiki, and it also hosts a bunch of large .iso files for the group to download if they need them. The latter part is where my latest issue has come up, and I'll try to keep it brief.
We moved all the .iso files to a FTP server that we just got up and running, since the FTP site has goads more space available on it's NAS shared drive than my wiki server whose hard disk is rapidly shrinking with all the .iso files on it. Now, the FTP server is outward facing unlike the wiki server, so obviously it has to have user/password authentication unlike the wiki, which is only internal.
I want to be able to link from the wiki server directly to the files on the FTP server without the user being prompted for a password, while still keeping a decent transfer speed.
So far I've tried 2 methods that have "worked".
First, I mounted a local folder on the wiki to the FTP server using CurlFTPfs by adding a line in the /etc/fstab file.
Code:
curlftpfs#iso:ftpiso@172.17.12.19 /var/www/downloads fuse allow_other,uid=www-data,gid=www-data 0 0
This actually works perfectly, I can link to the files and never get prompted for credentials, however the transfer rate is abysmal. under 100kb/s over a gigabit connection, rather than 10MB/s I can get if using an FTP client directly.
The other method I used was enabling the mod_proxy_ftp and simply redirecting to the FTP using the wiki server as a proxy.
In the virtual host file:
Code:
ProxyPass /download ftp://iso:ftpiso@172.17.12.19
ProxyPassReverse /download ftp://iso:ftpiso@172.17.12.19
This speeds things up a little ~230kb/s however I still get prompted for credentials.
Is there any way possible to get it to work like the CurlFTPfs method but still get decent network xfer rates?

My tech level is intermediate (I know my way around basic bash and such) I'm a somewhat long time ubuntu user (since 6.06) and I've run into a problem I can't really get around.
I have an intel on-board video card as well as an nvidia geforce 8400. I'm using the nvidia (binary) drivers. I'd like to be able to use all three monitors (2 connected to the geforce, 1 to the onboard). I'd like to just say this worked flawlessly on windows so it is not a bios/hardware issue. I'm pretty clueless on how to get this done...
Also, I got a new EMU 1212m sound card and I'd like to know if there is a way other than compiling alsa from source in order to get this sound card working, this is the only option I found when searching the forums.

I have this computer that loads up a magnifying glass sort of application on the right half of the screen during the log in. ie. when choosing accounts and typing in the password screen. So far: I tried turning off visual assistance from start-up. I also uninstalled compiz from the installed software.
Neither have seemed to have disabled it. The Computer is running Ubuntu 10.04.1 with the latest updates.Does anybody have any suggestions for me? I will try to post a screen shot of it when I get time to.

Today is my sort of third day with the OS and I'm still loving it. I've been able to get the hang of quite a few things in Maverick but there is one thing that I really need help with.Back in Win7, I had the very same situation and after a week of messing around I was able to get it working; it was sheer luck, but hey, who cares?
I'm running an ASUS M4A785-M motherboard with an integrated ATI 4200 video card and using a 32" Toshiba TV with HDMI video and sound, which Ubuntu was kind enough to download the proper drivers for all on its own; Win7 didn't. Problem is, the best resolution I can use is 1920x1080, but at that point some of the text looks just too small, so I use the 1776x1000 resolution instead. Still, the grand majority of websites don't fill the browser. I have to manually zoom in each time so they can look properly. I know that after a week of tinkering in Win7 I got it working just fine without the need to zoom in on pages. I can't remember for the life of me how I did it and I had accidentally formatted the entire HDD once and all those settings got lost.Lower resolutions make it worse too. On some of them, the actual computer window won't even fill the TV unless I change certain settings, and then it still looks horrible because everything gets stretched out sideways and gets squashed and even if the PC screen doesn't fill the whole tv, it overcasts itself in the middle; as if I was using a much smaller monitor and it was overcasting.

I am pretty new to Ubuntu 10.10 and have been unable to successfully print to a HP Designjet 5000 42inch non Postscript printer that uses hpgl/2. I have installed other types of printers with no problem but this one has me beat so far. I will primarily want to print banners from Inkscape that will average 3 x 12 feet in size, and at least 150 dpi, so will need to be able to define custom size sheets. Currently I develop a project in Inkscape then print to file as a pdf, open the pdf from a windows xp machine on the same network with Adobe Reader and print to the Designjet from Adobe. This worked fine until I upgraded Adobe Reader to 10.01, it won't print very large files to the Designjet, iether. It would be very nice if I could print directly from Inkscape in Ubuntu to the Designjet printer. I do not print from Inkscape in Windows XP because the large files put both the program and operation system into a permanent non responsive state if they do not crash outright. I am able to print large files on the XP machine from Corel Draw 12 with no problem, but have not been able to get Corel Draw to accept any of the svg files that Inkscape produces.

I have a small home network with a router to the outside world and an ubuntu server through which traffic passes first.My ISP limits my download usage during the day, which traditionally has not been an issue, but now the children come in from school, boot up the internet and up goes my usage!Ideally I would like to be able to restrict them to IM and maybe certain specified URLs (I think the latter probably needs to use Squid though?). Once the download limits are lifted, I would like my iptables to allow HTTP, etc, but pretty much block most other things.
I have two sets of iptables currently to approach this issue, with a cron job that runs to swap between one and the other.Chains run in order, so if rule A says allow x, and rule B says drop all, then X should still be allowed. However, try as I may, this is not what happens in practice. I have even tried changing the overall order from ALLOW to DROP in FORWARD and then approach from the other angle. That didn't work either. *IS* it actually possible to block all but http / https and IM? These are myrules:
Code:
# Generated by iptables-save v1.4.4 on Sat Jan 9 19:15:49 2010
*nat
:PREROUTING ACCEPT [583:45175]
:POSTROUTING ACCEPT [694:60887]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [143:18642]

extremely new to computing, learned about linux in computer class and wanted to try it out. Got a copy of live usb creator, worked fine. Got fedora 10 then 9 on my 8Gb stick. I am getting the "Could not find Kernal image: linux" error. I have looked all over and have found the same line of code:
/isolinux/vmlinuz initrd=/isolinux/initrd.img. I enter this and get nothing. I review the config file and while I think it is in order, i must admit that i am woefully ignorant of much of what i see there.
The only difference in my config file from the fix is that vmlinz is listed as vmlinuz0, the same with the initrd.img. (initrd0.img) I am running an amd 64 x2 3800 processor, with a G of ram. I have Xp installed and nvidia gforce 6150 on board graphics. ( i have read that this may be a problem)

My cousin needs some help with his computer (I know a bit more about MS then Linux at this point). He has VISTA HOME EDITION, Which as far as the internet tells me ... cannot do RA without a third party software. But he says he found it and sent the invite to my email. I have already download rdesk (I think that's what I want) so I can initiate a RA from terminal with IP or server URL, But everytime I try to access his through IP it says:
Code:
me@linux:$ rdesk ip.cous.comp.here
!!--'DISPLAY FAILED TO LAUNCH'
me@linux:$
I was going to also look at getting tightVNC, but am not 100% sure it does what I want...
Other then this I have no idea what to do. I have never done remote with a Linux and a MS system ...
(By the way, I am running Dreamlinux which is Debian based. It is the latest -far as I know- which is 3.5 built on Lenny stable. My desktop session is Xfce, but I can enable KDE or GNOME for applications that may need it. My cousin and I are 100 miles apart at the moment so this seems to be our only option.

I have a folder of MP3s, where some have <artist>- <song> and others have <artist> - <song>. I wanted to make all of them say <artist> - <song>
The command that works for me was
for i in *[a-Z]-*; do mv "$i" "`echo $i | sed 's/-/ -/g'`"; done
but if I -hadn't- used ls with my parameters to filter out the valid results, how would I have done this with sed? I got close with:
ls | sed -e 's/(.*)[a-Z]-(.*)/1 - 2/'
but with the above I lose the [a-Z] character that I used to match with (and I need to keep that).

We're migrating from Tomcat on Linux to Glassfish on Windows and I'm trying to make it easier to find the servlets that we don't currently have implicitly mapped in the Tomcat web.xml files for contexts. What I've done is copy all our contexts to a temp directory and written a script so that I can loop through each context, find the files that are not mapped inside a package then check if the java file is a servlet or not. From there I store each java file that matches, strip off the extension and then search in the context web.xml for a match then output to the screen.
The problem that I'm running into is that I know there are class files that should be returned and yet they are not being displayed. I'm not a Linux guy, so I'm just looking for a little help to see if I'm missing something obvious. I've attached the code for the script below.
Code:
# for all contexts
for context in `ls "/var/tomcat/temp/script/" | grep -v servletmap.sh`
do
echo $context
# for all java files without a package

I have installed Fedora 15 on my Desktop. My desktop is a 64-bit AMD Athlon Processor. I'm having some problem installing Adobe flash player in my Desktop. due to this I'm unable to view any ..... videos.
I went to the website get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ site and there is a note that 64-bit users: Download a preview release of Flash Player with native support for 64-bit Linux from Adobe Labs. On following this link it redirected me to [URL]...10_square.html where I could find a tar.gz file Download plug-in for 64-bit Linux (TAR.GZ, 4.1 MB) I tried untarring this file but could not find configure, read me files with installation steps.
Has any one installed Adobe flash player on Fedora 15 64 bit? if so can you please point me to the rpm? or the file which has the proper installation procedure. I'm a new bie to linux. so would prefer a rpm over tar.gz files.

I had a working setup of opensuse 11.0, dual booting using grub installed on the home partition. I tried to install 11.3 from the coverdisc of linux format (LXFDVD136). It took 5 goes before the install succeeded. Mostly stopping at the "boot installed system" stage. I put 11.3 on a formatted partition in the same place as 11.0, and put grub there too.
The system will not boot without assistance. I have to use a supergrub disc and tell it which partition to boot. If I use boot linux from supergrub I get the Grub error message 15 file not found. Supergrub CAN find windows and it boots with the win command. Automatic and yast initiated attempts to check for software upgrades are blocked by the application with pid 4587.

We are working on a project to create a display wall of 8 monitors arranged as 2 high by 4 wide. Each monitor is connected to a single machine and all machines are networked with a master machine with its own, seperate monitor.
Our goal is to get the 8 machines to share a single desktop, with the master machine acting as the server. We have looked at using Xinerama or NMM, but we are unsure about how to get started configuring the multi-machine, multi-head display.

I am to rename all the files within a directory (which contains multiple subdirectories) recursively without invalid characters.
I tried the coding posted above.
find . -type f -printf '%p

I'm starting to have A LOT of opened windows in my machine. Sometimes within a project, I have e-mail/task management/personal e-mail/twitter, and a lot of different opened applications/terminals in my Linux workstation.Sometimes it would be interesting to have different workspaces to projects instead of this configuration I have nowadays that are classes of work (bad name, I know, but I think you got the idea).I'm starting to think about using two monitors: one with Corporate Management, Work and Personal. The second monitor is only the development state: each workspace here is about a project being worked on instead of groups of works like before. A workspace may be implementing different classes for example.
My question is: I just want to change to a second monitor using the mouse. I want to still be able to change workspaces in the same monitor using keyboard shortcuts. The keyboard shortcuts wouldn't change monitors, just worskpaces on the same monitor. All the tutorials I read (like this one) only tells how to use multiple monitors but doesn't answer my question about keyboard shortcuts.Does Linux (Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx or Debian 5.0.5 Lenny) support this envisioned setup (Different workspaces in a way that keyboard workspace switching only works in the current monitor) ? If so, how?I haven't tested this setup, that's why I'm asking. In this question the user says it works exactly how I want it to behave, can someone else confirm it?
