Ubuntu :: Pc Freezes When Many Programs Are Opened
Feb 8, 2010
im currently using ubuntu 9.10 in 30gb partition, when i open google chrome, netbeans, pidgin messenger and mysql it causes pc o freeze, which i has to shut down pc by cutting off electricity.
in 11.04 when you open a program it covers the desktop when you open the next program it covers the first program , How do you switch from the first program to the second one and vice versa.
We are having a cluster with couple of disk servers, compute nodes and a head node. Disk server is nfs mounted on all the compute and head nodes. The problem is that if any of the disk servers hangs, it freezes rest of the cluster too which is dangerous. Ideally, cluster should not care about the hanged server and run without any problem except files from that server is not visible. Is there any way I could avoid the problem of freezing cluster because of one hanged server?
This error message comes out saying, " No application suitable for automatic installation is available for handling this kind of file." I am trying to install a wireless antenna for my other computer. Does anyone know what I should do?

I have this wma file that I want to play and I looked around and found alot of ways to make this happen. However, none has work for me. But first let me explain my problem. I have these wma files that just wont work but they worked once before. Now when I try to open the files all I get is some message that the file can not be opened. I have done many efforts to make it work including things like medibuntu. BTW, there was this once moment that when I tried to open the file it PLAYED! but then after it did not open.
I'm not 100% sure if this is the right spot for it, but I'm having trouble unzipping files. I've downloaded a good few fonts from dafont.com, from different authors and with different browsers and I still get errors. First I opened the .zip with Archive Manager
Code: 7-Zip 9.04 beta Copyright (c) 1999-2009 Igor Pavlov 2009-05-30 p7zip Version 9.04 (locale=en_ZA.utf8,Utf16=on,HugeFiles=on,2 CPUs) Error: /media/42E6F8E2366C0906/Fonts/panhead.zip: Can not open file as archive Errors: 1
I then tried Code: ross@Ross-PC:~$ unzip /media/42E6F8E2366C0906/Fonts/panhead.zip and got this output Code: Archive: /media/42E6F8E2366C0906/Fonts/panhead.zip End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. unzip: Cannot find zipfile directory in one of /media/42E6F8E2366C0906/Fonts/panhead.zip or /media/42E6F8E2366C0906/Fonts/panhead.zip.zip, and cannot find /media/42E6F8E2366C0906/Fonts/panhead.zip.ZIP, period.
I do have p7zip-full installed, but it isn't a .7zip file?
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and I installed Compiz Fusion but now the only thing I can open that has a title bar that I can move around is Google Chrome, everything else I open, even firefox, has no title bar and I cant move the boxes around the screen.
all my compressed files have gedit icons, and when I right-click them, instead of having the "unzip here" option, it just says "open with gedit". Why would this be the case??? How do I fix it? it's really inconvenient to have to open up my terminal and unzip everything that I want uncompressed, when I used to be able to just right click it and say "extract here".
The ipod works fine but when i plug it in to the machine (ubuntu 10.04) it always opend f-spot. how can i stop this? Note: i looked in the removable drives and media, and preferd applications, but nothing in there.
I just installed TOR but get an error that it has ended unexpectedly when I open Vidalia. The log has the following:

Sometimes i have webpages opened that i can't close and the upgrade popup appears. This time firefox is one of the software to upgrade, should i close the browser or it isn't mandatory ?
This is a new issue since 10.04 (9.10 did it right). I'm on 10.10 netbook right now. What I would like to figure out is how to tell the system to go into suspend when idle even though the lid is open. I don't know if this problem is hardware specific or just a config file edit. Just to get it out of the way, it does suspend correctly when the lid is closed - and I can tell it to suspend when the lid is open, but what I need is for it to suspend when I fall asleep working or forget I left it open without overheating / running out of battery and losing my work. I'm pretty good at doing things on linux, despite the fact that I'm running the netbook remix, so don't be afraid to tell me to open a file in the terminal or whatever.
I am using pine as email client for a while, and I noticed that if I got a new email, all terminal opened will show a notification if you type any command.
I just wondering is there any tool/command I can customize my own notification like this and work combine with crontab?
I search google for a little bit, no useful clue so far?
I am Using HP Pavilion DV6Z. Just started using Linux today, so I just close LID like usual, thinking that I just open back the lid and Ubuntu will wake up but it doesn't, screen are black, but laptop still running
I have strange problem that I couldn't even find on google.
When I play any video in VLC or any other player my video is on top of everything.
For example, if I open a video and play it - everything looks ok. But, if I open another window "above" VLC, video suddenly appears at top and I can't see window opened in front of VLC.
-The Mkv video file cannot be opened by the Mplayer due to something that I don't know. I try to open it via the gnome-terminal and end up with something like this:
The, I try to play it with VLC media player. Everthing seems fine but after few minutes, I can see the lagging of the video and distractions on the screen.
Then, I've open my Windows 7 and play the mkv files with the KMplayer, everything is fine. No lagging, no distractions.
I've already updated the ubuntu-restricted-extras. I've already installed the libxine1-ffmpeg and nothings good appeared.
I've already installed the mkvtoolnix-gui (which is i don't know what is it) but similar prob appear.
how did play mkv files? With no lags or disctractions?
It was just yesterday when I was using the Ubuntu Software Center, and it worked great. Today, when I open it, it closes right down within a second. If it helps, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04. I restarted Ubuntu, the problem still happens, anyone know what could be causing this?
When I open Chrome I receive the error: Quote:Your profile could not be opened correctly.I have found solutions that work, but they delete all my profile information. This is will not work for me because I want to keep the profile data. I narrowed it down and the problem with with the Web Data file which is a SQLite database. From my research it sounds like the Web Data file gets locked. How can I unlock this file? The command below is suppose to unlock the DB, but I have not had any success with it.
Code: IFS=" " for I in `file ~/.config/chromium/Default/*|grep SQL|cut -f1 -d:`; do echo '.dump' | sqlite3 $I > ${I}.sql && rm $I && sqlite3 $I < ${I}.sql && rm ${I}.sql ; done
Yesterday I updated some packages with the Update manager. A new version of evince was updated, too. However, no pdf, ps files can be opened by it after that.Running from the command line, get error like:"evince: symbol lookup error: evince: undefined symbol: ev_get_locale_dir"I just wonder how to solve this. Or how to rollback to older version?
when I try to open a directory via the Places menu in gnome desktop (Places->home|music|...) the default music player which comes with Ubuntu is opened (I don't know why), but not the directory.Do you know, guys, why does this happen and/or how can I solve it? I'm using Ubuntu 10.10.
I opened a folder with brasero a while ago, to make a DVD. For some reason this stuck. When I click on any of the bookmarks in places, Brasero pops up. It also happens if I click "open containing folder" in Ktorrent, so it must be a global setting, but I couldn't figure out where to change this back to Nautilus
I recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 but when I installed chromium and opened the application, it opened as usual but the icon did not appear in the dock. The only way I could switch to the chromium window would be to alt-tab.
I had on all previous versions of ubuntu this feature checked - the apps which were opened before I logout would automatically start next time I start my laptop. After upgrading to 11.04 this does not work anymore - How to restore this feature?
I have set up evolution with what I believe to be the proper settings.Pop3.live.com for the incoming mail server and smtp.live.com for the outgoing mail server.The problem I have at the moment is this: When trying to receive mail, after entering my password at the prompt,
I get the error message:
Error sending password: -ERR mailbox could not be opened.
I'm reprompted to enter my password and I no longer get the previous error, but instead a new one.Error sending username: -ERR unrecognized command.This error message persists every time I enter my password. I have noted that there are no penalties for entering an incorrect password, so I've posited that the problem is on my end.
I am rather a new user of ubuntu.. I tried playing songs and it played properly after it installed the necessary softwares.. But when I tried playing videos, the video clip opened and then closed again.
