I've modified the Radiance theme and installed it, and everything looks wonderful except for one thing. Certain programs have ugly windows and progress bars, as if all window effects were disabled for those windows. The progress bar in GIMP is not affected.
View 2 RepliesIf you had Gimp 2.6 (with gimp-plugin-registry installed) and installed Gimp 2.7 to try its new goodies, but Layer Effects are not showing, and when executing "gimp" from console you get these *nasty* errors:

This is a development version of GIMP. Debug messages may appear here.

If you haven't install the 2.7 version yet. Before upgrading, backup "python" directory and then just restore it after installing 2.7.
Some of you may have had with issues after installing GIMP on Lucid Lynx 10.04. Which may be directly related to "gimp-help-en", which could prevent you from installing other applications and preforming system tasks. If so, use this method to fix it.
Process: (Terminal > $ sudo apt-get install gimp)
1. After installing Gimp go to the terminal:
2. Then load up the language support application:
3. Then it will ask you to install the "gimp-help-en", confirm it.
4. Fix'd
I think this issue is directly linked to a systems with multiple languages, but I haven't been able to test this theory out yet.
I have Ubuntu 10.04 but I installed KDE for a try(which I'm not liking by the way >_>)I can use the volume control in GNOME still and I can control it with PusleAudio but I can't use my keyboard buttons for Pulse, only KMix. In Kmix though I can't find a master channel for HDMI.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI sometimes experience rather significant visual artifacts in Maverick. Some programs are more affected than others, but the problem is systemwide. It's most obvious when trying to read a pdf-file, as you can see in the attachments.
Interestingly, video never seems to be affected; even when the artifacts are so bad I can barely see what I'm doing, watching a movie in VLC works without problem (although the VLC GUI itself is affected).
The problem doesn't appear every session, but it is common. Approximately every third session is affected, and once the artifacts appear they remain until I restart the computer.
I have embedded linux (apm distributive). I modify /etc/hosts file and that changes not affected.
What could be the problem?
Example
/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 hana-009
ping hana-009
ping: bad address 'hana-009'
I started to have a particular problem with my hard drivers, I can hear how they do a weird noise, like the one that a hard disk does when you start your PC, but it's very often once per second while I use my computer, if the computer is idle nothing happens. Sometimes it says that the error it is on ata3, sometimes it is on ata5

What could be the problem? I have 4 SATA disks, in 2 of these disks I have in each one a partition of 250 GB and are mirror under mdadm as raid1. What about the names ata3 ata5 which are the real disks affected?
Just switched my laptop from that other operating system to openSUSE11.2. Everything works great except for one odd little bug. Both my speakers and headphones have output, are affected by the volume control and it even detects when I plug in headphones and stops output to the speakers. However the moment I adjust the volume, output to my headphones stops, and my speakers start.

I'm running Kubuntu 10.10 32 bit on an old DFI KT600AL motherboard based system using the onboard VIA 3058 AC97 audio (because it supports front panel audio connections and none of the add-in PCI soundcards I have do). I have an old Gateway/STB TVPCI TV tuner card (mainly wanted the FM radio part to work) hooked up to the cd audio connector on the motherboard because the digital audio over the pci bus apparently isn't supported for this card (neither is the onboard analog mixer on the tv tuner card, I had to hack a CD-ROM audio cable and solder it to the audio outputs of the tv tuner module on the TV tuner card). When I use the master channel as the master channel (selected in Kmix) then as one would expect it affects the output volume of all other audio playing on the system except that which is being handled by the PCM channel. On Windows the PCM channel was also affected by the "Volume Control" slider such that ALL volume levels were reduced when moving the slider. I'm hoping someone can help me figure out how to make it work like this on Kubuntu.
First off I should warn you that I (like many users of older hardware that is not properly supported under PulseAudio) have uninstalled PulseAudio (because it's garbage) and am using Alsa to manage my audio hardware. I would think that there would be some way to do this using the 'amixer' application to add the PCM channel as a component of the 'Master' channel so that when the volume is turned down using the 'Master' channel control it will affect the PCM channel too (at least the output to the speaker jack, not necessarily the capture or mix volume though), but I'm not really any good at doing things from a terminal window and the options for the amixer command kind of confused me.
A quick google search gave me a possible answer at this post: [URL] However, this isn't my question exactly. It sort of is, but the answer is not correct for me. I'm wondering how to show progress of a cp or mv command. The man page says -v should do it, but it seems it doesn't show any progress at all. Is it possible to show progress info with cp or mv? Or, is there a different command I could use that would show a progress bar. I know for example scp will show a progress bar, but that is for local-->remote or visa versa, but I'm trying to copy locally.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a server that I just use for backing up and archiving files. Since I don't need access to it often I just keep it powered off. I set up wakeonlan and have port 9 and port 22 forwarded to it.
I travel fairly often, and how its set up now, I can send the magic packet to the connection its on and wakeonlan kicks in and powers up the server. Then I can sftp into and access the files I need and then shut it down again in ssh.
It all works good until there's a power outage. For some reason after a power outage wakeonlan doesn't work.
Here's a workaround for this: I can set the system to automatically power up after a power outage. Problem is, the computer could be on for a week or more, wasting power before I log in and turn it off. So the workaround for that is to put a "deadman's switch" where a script will run at startup that will run "shutdown -q -P +5" which will power off the system after five minutes.
After I run wakeonlan I can ssh in and run "shutdown -c" to cancel that shutdown and still use it. If there's a power outage, once power is restored, the system will start up and then automatically shutdown again and be ready for the next wakeonlan signal I send.
Everything is flawless, except one problem. When "shutdown -q -P +5" executes, it disables all new logins. If I'm fast enough I can ssh in before the shutdown program disables logins, but not always. What I want is a way I can run shutdown without disabling logins.
Does anyone knows how to force kill a format in progress?
even when i try to run top kill process id for mkfs.ext3 it says "operation not permitted"
is very annoying to have to reboot the server just to be able to cancel the make fs ext 3 just to change the partition size
I thought I would give Ubuntu One a try, even though I have used DropBox for ages. I think it is all set up ok, yet the box is open and it says along the top:
Using 102.6 MB of 2.0 GB (5%)

It has said that for 5 hours now.....is it actually doing anything? I have closed it a couple of times, and opened it, and it goes right back to the same thing. What is more weird is there are no sent / receive lights flashing on my Modem either.
I have this command in a bash script
Code:
!#/bin/sh
cd /home/n3t

How can I create a progress bar for this action? I have download the clpbar but I don't know how to use it exactly.
I want to create a script which will show the amount of data that is been copied from one location to another location. For example: Say I have a file called abc.img which is approximately 4 gb of size therefore every time I copy the file from one location to another I want a progress bar to appear like 50% completed 51% completed and so on.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using Ubuntu 9.10 and am bothered by the sometimes pretty long update progress. sometimes i wish to abort the update-manager, apt-get or synaptics because i need to go, but i think it might break anything. could you advice me how to do it safely, even if some cleaning up is required afterwards?I was just wondering because certainly there is a way to preserve the pre-update condition, e.g. when installing a new kernel. but my guess is, that the installation is postponed to restart then.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to install Ubuntu 64Bit Server 10.04 on a new server.
Server Specs:
Xeon E5620
12GB RAM
2X 160GB 7200 RPM in RAID1 (Onboard Software RAID)
Super Micro X8DTI-8
I am doing a typical install with no special functions on a RAID1 onboard Intel array. I know the array works because I tested it by installing Windows Server 2003 which works fine. The RAID also shows as healthy in the BIOS.
This problem is very difficult to remedy because everything seems to install fine with Ubuntu but when you reboot after the install you get a blinking cursor _ and nothing else. It appears that something happened when loading the OS but it's impossible to get past the blinking cursor because you can't type anything or escape out of it. The only thing that it will register is Ctrl+Alt+Del which will restart the server.
The funny thing is it does not display the typical Sigkill and show processes shutting down. The screen goes black and it restarts only to return to the blinking cursor. I am on my 6th attempt at an install with ubuntu and I am seriously considering switching over to windows unless.
I am almost certain this is a RAID issue because I can load the Ubuntu on 1 drive without any issues but I always get the blinking cursor in the RAID.
I installed 10.10, dual boot. (with xp pro)Did reboot.choose ubuntu from boot options.Now only have progress bar no gui.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I run the update manager in XUbuntu (natty/11:04) it does not show its progress while installing the upgrades.
After clicking on "install updates" and authenticating, there used to be a popup window with a progress bar and an option to show "details" but these appear to have disappeared in the last few days.
I don't recall switching these features off and there are no settings to restore them, available within the GUI. Is there another way of restoring this functionality?
If not, is a reinstall the way to go? If so what package(s) need re-installing? And in-case it is a configuration script, what files in my home directory need deleting to ensure a clean reinstall.
Well, I've made progress in getting my recording to work.I was running a piece of software called liveice, and this used to work, but now with the current versions of of Fedora I just get noise and other strange problems. I stopped using liveice, and switched to darkice, and now my recordings are working without noise. I hear correct sound and the volume controls are acting sensible.Liveice was broken in a very weird way.The recording meter worked correctly, but the audio it actually recorded was just noise.This program uses OSS, as does darkice.When I record on the SB live, which is dsp2,sometimes I hear sound on it from the other sound card? Is that weird? Why would the input from the sound cards come in mixed like this?I have two sound cards, /dev/dsp and /dev/dsp1. One shows as ICH5/AD1985, and the other is an SB Live 5.1.I currently have Pulseaudio installed and running. I did a yum update just now.This is all with Fedora 12.This system was upgraded from 10 to 11.And then again from 11 to 12.
