Ubuntu :: Computer Freezes Almost Daily - 11.04 Installed?
Jun 10, 2011my wife's desktop has been freezing almost daily, leading to a reboot. It's an HP Pavilion (specs here) and it has Ubuntu 11.04 installed since soon after 11.04 came out. There doesn't seem to be really any rhyme or reason to the crashes, except that it might happen more often when she's web browsing with Firefox. I tried looking at /var/log/syslog, but to be honest I wasn't really sure what I was looking for. I did notice that syslog would stop recording at the same time the mouse and keyword freeze. Has any one seen this problem or be able to give me some advice on how to find out what's going on?

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.

Feb 7, 2011I am using nx client and I would like to ask your help. Is it possible when I connect from home to my work's computer (using nx client) to see the exactly same desktop-taskbar and open programs as I left them in my work computer.
Imagine that you are at work using your computer. You lock the keyboard and you go home(you didn't turn it off). You go home and you login to work's computer. What I want to see is the same if I was just unlocking works's computer. IS that possible and how?

May 12, 2011I was just wondering if there is a way (and seeing as how this is Linux we are talking about here, there probably is...) to make a fully functional webcam-server on Ubuntu 10.04.2 save images daily, or weekly? I have a perfectly installed webcam-server running on my website that you just refresh, and it gives you a current image, but I was wanting to have a daily type of archive thing with it, just because.

Jul 9, 2011I've been trying to find a way to watch videos from my main desktop computer on another computer I've plugged into an HDTV. I'm such a Linux newbie that I decided to give Mythbuntu a try. It was way to complicated for what I needed, and I'm sure that some more experienced people reading my first two sentences laughed to themselves at my naivety.
What I am trying to find is simple: browsing one computer's home folder from another computer, and playing the videos therein. If there's anything like Mythvideo that requires less than half of the skill requirements, I will telepathically send love to the person that informs me of it.

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Ssh Server/Desktop Computer And The "write" Command
Aug 30, 2010I have a computer set up running Ubuntu 10.04. It is being used as both a desktop computer with a mouse, keyboard, and monitor and users running GNOME sessions AND an ssh server for remote command-line access.
Now, when I am remotely accessing this machine via ssh, I see messages sent to me via "write" or "wall" without a problem, as do all other remotely logged in users. However, "writing" to a user or writing to a wall (for example about an upcoming reboot or downtime) does not affect users sitting at the actual computer in GNOME without a Terminal open. How can I get a message to these users, preferably using write and/or wall?
I have root access to this system.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Networking :: Can't Access Work Remote Desktop Via The Terminal Server Client On Wired Box Running 10.10?
Dec 3, 2010I am at a loss. I can not access my work remote desktop via the terminal server client on my wired box running Ubuntu 10.10. My wireless laptop is able to connect right away once I established the VPN connection. The VPN connection is established on both boxes with no problems.
When I tried the Terminal Server Client on my wired boxed, it says it can not establish a connection. Yet my wireless box gets connected immediately!
I check the /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and the /etc/resolv.conf to see if there were any differences, but they are essentially the same. When I have the vpnc connection, they both recognize it and I am able to ping the IP address shown when I do a "ifconfig" on the terminal.
What can be the problem? Anything I need to configure on a wired computer versus a wireless one? What else can I check?

Mar 28, 2011My desktop computer that i dont use very often, that runs Windows XP, but im trying to install ubuntu 9.10 on it from an old CD i have but the drive wont work. It doesn't work with anything!
So heres what ive found: In my my computer area it shows that there is a "DVD/CD-RW Drive (D: )" and a "CD Drive (E: )" and when i click on the E drive it says to insert a disk into the drive and when i click on drive D it opens to a blank page. Also when i click eject on E nothing happens but when i click it on D the drive opens.
Ive already said this, but when i put a disc in it nothing happens. It doesnt matter what i put in it either, when i put something in the light saying its working blinks a few times then stops and nothing else happens.
I dont have any internet on the desktop. And ive been having this problem on & off since the computer was givin to me, but its never not worked for this long.
Ubuntu :: Computer All Desktop Icons Disappear
Dec 22, 2010Downloaded and played latest Ubuntu (10.10) to get an idea of how it works (without actually installing it). Currently i use windows 7. When I restarted my computer all my desktop icons had disappeared. I still have the programs in my documents file or wherever but my desktop is clear. Is there any way i can restore them without doing it one by one? i.e. get back to my previous state.
View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Way To Transfer Data To New Desktop Computer ?
May 29, 2011I have a number of queries but will start with one. I presently operate 11.04 Classic (no effects). OS is NOT set up as dual boot. As I am considering purchasing a new Desktop, I am wondering what is the best way to recover such things as folders, Firefox bookmarks etc. for four users.
I do have a external HDD which I guess could be used for a possible backup if that is the way to go! The new computer will probably have Windows 7 installed with which I assume I would probably dual boot.
