Ubuntu :: Select "run As Administrator" But When Right Click The Option Isn't Available
Jun 17, 2010
The last Windows OS I use is XP to run work software. Now my father-in-law Paul, has asked me if I knew what's with the printer drivers on W7. I was surprised by not knowing, for everything else I use Ubuntu. So here's the question when trying to print Paul gets a popup that says he must right click and select "run as administrator" but when he right clicks the option isn't available. I'm going over there tonight so does anybody know what Microsoft has worked out to make their OS safe and what I should do about getting his printer printing?

when i click my mouse on something, it sometimes registers as two clicks. it doesn't happen all the time, but frequently enough to be annoying. for example, when i click a videos video to pause it, it often opens into fullscreen (which you normally click twice to do). also, in the url bar of chromium, i can't select the entire url by clicking. i now need to use ctrl+a. that's also because when i try to select the url, the highlight randomly disappears.
if i have multiple windows open, my click on the first "x" of the top-most window also closes the next window. i'm on linux mint 10. it's not really important, but it drives me crazy sometimes when my mouse doesn't work the way i want it to.

Strange. After a recent update, I can no longer right click on a folder and open it as Administrator. I get this error message:
Unable to determine the program to run.
The item you selected cannot be open with administrator powers because the correct application cannot be determined.
I don't quite get this but why is it looking for a program to run? I only want to open a folder, not run a program. Anyway, I have done an uninstall and re-install of nautilus-gksu but that did not solve the problem. I have googled but no answers I could use.
Again, all I want to do is open a folder as Administrator so I can perform other operations that require root permission on files in that folder.
using: 10.04 LTS fully updated

I'm about to install a version of Ubuntu onto a 32GB flash drive, I've downloaded are Universal USB installer that will do most of the work for me, however, it asks
Step 4: Select a persistence option for your USB
and the options are
1GB CASPER -RW
2GB CASPER -RW
3GB CASPER -RW
4GB CASPER -RW
What is persistence? am I better off having more (ie 4GB) since my flash drive is a 32GB drive?

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 on my pc but every time I select an option to install from the cd, the pc reboots and I go through the same thing again.
I've tried installing within windows but that just installs a folder with Ubuntu in but I can't start Ubuntu up when it's finished installing?

My development target environment is intel corei5 architecture. I want to build my source for i5 architecture. I am paning to use gcc 4.5.1. In the gcc manual i found an option to select the cpu type(-mtune = cpu_type).There is no i5 processor in the cpu type options.If i use -mtune=generic, will it produce optimized code for i5 architecture or it will produce the code for generic x86_64 architecture?

In order for TRIM to work on an SSD with encryption, I need to make sure to "select the AHCI option before installing the operating system."Does anybody know how to do this? I have no idea what this is talking about. I'll be installing 11.04 with no dual-boot. Just Ubuntu alone.

I want to recompile apache so I can select a different MPM compile time option. I have looked in the graphical application manager, but I don't see a development version of apache like you do for many of the packages. Am I not looking in the right place for the source code for the Apache 2.2.17 available with FC14?
Alternatively, I can download the source from apache.org for 2.2.17. However, the install options default to a host of different directories than the FC14 version does. Being somewhat OCD I hate to mess up my FC14 system by installing to a bunch of anomalous directories, and I don't want to break anything. I can change the default install directories, if I knew what the FC14 apache 2.2.17 was compiled with. There is an httpd-devel-2.2.17-1 package. But the description makes it sound like it is for developing additional modules. I want to recompile the main httpd-2.2.17-1 package. Does anyone know if this is a possibility?

I just replaced F14 with F15 (clean install). Now, when I try to add my HP Deskjet 710 printer I'm not seeing any option to select the parallel port. I've tested the hardware with an old F10 live CD, and every thing's okay there. Does the parallel port still exist in F15, or has it been nuked?

I have an arbiter which determines and manages a lab. I am wondering if it's possible to remotely control the grub boot selection. Right now I have to wait for the nodes to boot, check the hostname and then rsync the new grub configuration and reboot the node, it's VERY timely so I am wondering if there is an alternative to this method?

I installed Ubuntu as a dual-boot system with Windows XP very carefully. Unfortunately, though given the option to boot Windows at the grub menu, when I select it, I get an error. Booting Ubuntu on my other partition works just fine, no issues.
I also attempted to access files from the first partition in Ubuntu using gparted, but once I mounted it, all of my files were not present. I only saw manufacturer files, and many files and folders I didn't recognize.
Also, as an aside, my laptop monitor is suffering from occasional black-outs during use. Ubuntu gave me a little toolbar flag, telling me to go to a website and use the patches given to fix it, but I'm not quite so sure where to input the given patch text. Do I really need to go through the trouble of finding the source code, etc., or is it more simple?

I know that there is a nice little launcher that will run the script for Grub to select a menu option upon shutdown for a reboot [URL]
I however would like to use this from Windows XP and have grub select menu item 2 during a reboot. Does anyone know if there is any way to set Grub commands from within Windows?

When I right click on my mp3 player it gives me the option of ejecting or safely removing. If i do either it appears too the computer as though I unplugged it even though it's still connected to the computer. Is there a way to bring back unmount so that it will still appear under places? I would really love to have that behavior back

I have a custom LXDE installation with mostly the core applications. (Read my signature for a better picture.) Because it is custom I do not have the option to double click and run a Linux (not Windows) executable file. When I try to open the application it says choose an application to open it with. Do I have to install an application like gdebi (except for Linux executable) to be able to just double click and run it?

I'm running an Acer 1810Tz, dual boot with win7.Under 9.10 and Grub I had no boot issues, however I have just completed the upgrade to 10.04 and upgraded GRUB to GRUB2.Everything boots just fine into Ubuntu, and my GRUB menu looks right, but when I select the Windows 7 option, the machine just hangs with a black screen, white cursor top left. I'm sure this is a trivial problem, something overwritten that shouldn't have been perhaps, but I have no clue where to start.

Which hardware components tend to cause compatibility issues? And how do you select a generic option that might work with your hardware?
I don't currently have any problems but curious to find out if there is a sequence of steps.

I'm a Fedora user, and recently I switched from KDE to Gnome. Since then I'm experiencing a nerve-wracking problem when I use the right-click. Almost every time when I right-click the result is the automatic selection of the option in the context menu which is at the same level as the cursor. This happens more than 50% of the cases. Is that normal in Gnome or am I the only one that experiences this kind of problem?

For some time, I have been trying to install fedora 14 on my pc, as I want a dual boot machine. It has windows xp already installed and running. I used liveusb creator to make a bootable usb. the problem is, when I log in and start the installer, it runs until I get the option "Select storage device". When I select the appropriate option , basic storage device, the installer screen disappears, and nothing more happens. I shall be much obliged if someone can point out the problem. My computer is a Dell optiplex 745 , 2.8 GHz with 512 Mb of RAM.
