View 6 Replies View RelatedI did a clean install of Ubuntu 11.04 64bit and the start up time is abnormally slow. If I start up the computer and don't press anything, the start up time is 30 minutes but it usually doesn't start up at all. It just boots into a purple screen, no splash, then it sits there and the computer doesn't have any loading lights flashing.
I had a similar problem with 10.10, but I assumed it would go away when I did a clean install of 11.04.
I can't get a read out of what's going wrong because when I press Esc it doesn't display anything, though weirdly it can sometimes get the start up process moving. I have also found that pressing enter really fast can sometimes help and something that seems completely oxymoronic, if I press the power button while it's starting up that can make it work, but nothing works every time.
I'm configuring a new Centos 5.5 server in replacement of an old W2K server.The topology of our network is simple : one file/dhcp/dns relay server and workstations (PC's and some MAC's) plus network printers and scanners.All the workstations have dynamic IP addresses (easier because a lot of 'dynamic' changes : new persons with their own laptop, ...) and the server and printers/scanners have fixed IP addresses.I edited the dhcpd.conf (see here underneath), I have the file dhcpd.leases but it doesn't start !

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe new release of Opera 10.60 doesn't recognize the -notrayicon option anymore. If you had this option in your menu, then Opera doesn't start anymore and dies silently. You won't get an error message, and this error can keep you quite puzzled.
The solution is to remove the -notrayicon option from the menu entry. In opera, go to opera:conf and find the "notrayicon" option and disable it.
i have a virus in my mp3 that i don't know how to get rid of. the virus is called 'autorun.inf'. even though it doesn't affect Linux (i think) when i mount the mp3, the icon appears as if it was an empty folder. it use to let me delete/copy files into the mp3 but now it doesn't anymore. i cant delete the autorun.inf file or any file!
Ive had this problem before on the same mp3 and what i did was format the mp3 in windows but the thing keeps coming again and again . ive seen a couple 'windows solutions' for this but i dont have windows anymore so...

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an external WD hard drive on which I have created several partitions to facilitate data arrangement. Whenever I plug it in, all partitions are mounted. That is okay. I want it to automount all partitions. But the annoying thing is all partitions opening and popping up and cluttering my desktop (which I, very dearly, keep very arranged and clean...)
I hate it and want to edit the settings so the folders will not automatically open and pop up into my face..
Used to be under System > Preferences... now I can't find it. And no google entries about it (most are from 2007) and I find it amazing there's no entry on it on the forum either! -> http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=77800610
...as anyone ripping a CD will notice that rhythmbox autoplays it
I have an embedded PC104 application where I am trying to get my program to start automatically at power up. The program contains a graphical user interface, using an old SVGALIB (no longer supported). It works fine if I start it after log in.But when I put the path in rc.local, it will only run if I disable all the graphical stuff. The program bunts if it looks ahead and sees the call to vga_setmode(), where I set it for 480 x 640 resolution.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've looked at many tutorials on the internet but none helped me much.I've already tried to edit fstab so it would have something like /dev/cdrom/media/cdrom0udf,iso9660user,auto00.But the thing is this only takes effect when the OS loads, and the CD has to be inserted at that time, so it's not something permanent or viable. What I'm looking for it's something to auto-mount the cd in the fluxbox GUI when it's inserted just like in Gnome or Kde.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've just switched from XP to Ubuntu 9.1 on a relatively old computer (6-9 years?) yesterday, and everything worked like a dream. I've used my computer twice today and nothing seemed to be going wrong...but then came the problem. I haven't toggled with the settings too much since I'm still very new to Ubuntu, but whenever I log in with my password, the GUI doesn't automatically start up. I get the terminal in the right left-hand corner instead, and none of the fixes I've found so far have worked. I usually get some variant of an error message or my hostname doesn't exist.
I've tried:
startx
sudo apt-get install xorg
apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
sudo nano/etc/apt/sources.list
When I click on the Ekiga menu-item it seems like nothing is happening. So I went into htop and saw the process is running. When I start Ekiga from the command line, nothing happens as well. Then I tried starting Ekiga in debug modus with option -d 5. Still nothing showing up. When I call my VOIP number I can see a call coming in, however there is no ringing sound and no dialogue to pick up the phone.
Then I re-installed by 'aptitude purge ekiga' and then 'aptitude install ekiga'.
I am working on Ubuntu Karmic. The Ekiga version is straight from the repositories: Version: 3.2.5-1ubuntu1.
I hope someone has an idea what to try next.
I upgraded to 10.04 and my AWN dock won't automatically start even though the 'box' is tic'd and it's showing in the Startup Applications. I did lose all of my configurations as well after upgrading and had to reinstall everything on the dock.
Also, there are little numbers on the launchers like for Trash and Email that tell me how many items are in there. The Trash was easy to remove the numbers by right clicking and choosing the Preferences option. There was a place to disable that but there isn't one for the Email and those little numbers look well.
I just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04. While it seemed to go fine, GDM won't start. (Instead the Plymouth bootloader just displays the splash screen continuously.) I can get in through a virtual terminal, but starting GDM via the init script does not do anything. I also tried this:
Code:
me@host:~$ sudo gdm
**
ERROR:gdm-settings-direct.c:157:gdm_settings_direct_get_boolean: assertion failed: (entry != NULL)
Aborted
I tried running sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm, but this did not change anything. Logged in from the virtual terminal I can run startx and get the desktop, but obviously I would like to have the login manager working.
This will be my first posting here. Please forgive me for not posting this issue under the right place on the forum. I highly ask to the mod/admins to move this post to the correct location if needed to be, or let it continue as normal. My problem here is with this software blender 2.56a, I'm running Ubuntu 10.10. 64bit This version of blender worked just fine for me since it updated to my computer. But right after finishing an complex render, blender crashed and will not start up again.
Every time I click on the icon it just keeps flashing up and crashing down. So I went to the main blender site, and downloaded one of their stand alone version of the 2.56a. I ran it and it works just fine.
I tried reinstalling blender 2.56a under Synaptic, but no use. I'm out of ideas, I want this software to run like it use to. Again, It use to run without any problems, but just under one hard render it crashed, and Now it wont launch again.
However, I did mange to get my project to render just find under the stand alone. If any one needs some sort of debugging file, or information of some kind. I would then need to know how to re-chieve it..
I remember reading something a while back that theres a folder that you can just plonk a bash script into and it will run on login but cant find anything about it now. I have found the command $update-rc.d <filename> but scripts added this way have to lsbInit compliant and i havent got a clue where to start with that I also cant just add it to the startup applications list because for some stupid reason following the kernel update a few weeks back (this used to work fine) suddenly has no effect. Heres the script incase anyone wants extra points for telling me why all of a sudden it doesnt work. (ive also made the same script run as a python3 program to no effect.)
Code:
#! /bin/bash
# This is a simple bash script to automatically play a
# random song on banshee 15 seconds after startup
sleep 15 && banshee --play
