Hi all,

Has anyone got kvm working successfully under oneiric? I have just upgraded my test server from lucid, where kvm was working well, to oneric and now it is crashing the host regularly. I...

There's a huge difference between Gnome 2 and Gnome 3 Classic. I hate effects too, and turn them off immediately, but Gnome 3 Classic is definitely crippled.

* You can't place icons on the panel...

Hi all,

After upgrading to Oneiric, I've just started using xfce, because I can't stand Unity or Gnome 3. I've got one small issue however.

My keyboard (a Logitech Internet Navigator Keyboard)...

The cause of my laptop not suspending was the virtualbox kernel modules. I added the following script (/etc/pm/config.d/unload_modules) so that they were removed when suspending, and now it suspends...

I notice that the gfs2-tools package in Lucid says:



There's just one problem: the kernel, in lucid, provides a gfs2 module, but doesn't have a gfs module.

Thus, any attempt to mount a...

Eww. Messy.

The control file has a "Installed-Size" line in it that you will probably have to update, too, although that's going to be painful.

If there aren't any pre- or postinst scripts, you...

Ok, for what it's worth, I've started using handbrake to convert files. It's faster than anything else I've encountered.

Hi all,

What's the accepted method for converting Mythtv's nuv files to avi files now?

I ask this because nuvexport seems to be unsupported these days. The last released version removed support...

Ok, I've figured out the problem now; apparently I have two FNEK signatures, and I was choosing the wrong one.

The default cipher is aes, and the number of bits is 16.

Furthermore, there is a...

I'm only backing up the /home partition; I don't have the room to back up the entire disk.

Basically, I want to mount it manually in order to learn how it works.

Cheers.

Hi all,

I've set up backups (using bacula) of my ecryptfs encrypted home directory (on lucid), and now I am checking that I can restore the filesystem. I've restored it from the backup onto a...

Oops, I've been misreading the errors.

squid and squid-common *are* removed ...

The errors are coming from the squid3 package.

Are you trying to install or remove squid3?

Try this before removing it:


touch /etc/squid3/squid.conf

See if you can see the SSD drive under /dev

Your USB drive is probably /dev/sda, so your SSD drive will likely be /dev/sdb, so you might be able to mount the partitions like this:

mount...

Ok, I don't have any raw numbers or anything, but I tried running the Ubuntu natty beta on a vmware virtual machine, and it told me that I didn't have sufficient resources to run Unity, and...

Sorry, I also just noticed that Ubuntu provides both samba (3.4.7) and samba4 packages.

Again, unless you have a need for the features in samba4, go with 3.4.7.

Unless you have a particular feature that is needed by either 3.5 or by the 4.0 beta - and this is highly unlikely - then you should use the version of Samba that is provided in the Ubuntu...

Most important thing is the tuner sensitivity. I bought a Gigabyte USB digital TV tuner, and the reception on it is terrible, even with a good antenna connected. It's pretty much useless. I've...

Hi all,

I have an issue with Ubuntu karmic crashing when I use Google Chrome. I had this problem earlier in the year with Chromium, so I switched to Chrome 6 and this was suitable for my needs,...

Hi all,

The Atheros AR5001 wireless card (using ath5k) works perfectly on my netbook using a Managed wireless network, but simply refuses to work when in ad-hoc mode, under Ubuntu karmic.

There...

You can write to the tty of the ssh session ... for example:


echo "hello" > /dev/pts/8

You can find the tty of your current terminal using the tty command:


$ tty
/dev/pts/8

I've always used mine to put bookmarks of pages that I visit regularly. It's much faster than going to the bookmarks folder...

You only need to increase the size of your swap space if you feel that the existing swap is too small for the amount of memory you're likely to be using.

You don't even have to have a swap...

That depends; often people have made a lot of configuration changes and it's much easier to copy it across. When I get my new laptop, I will most likely copy my existing one.

You could possibly just use dd to copy on drive to the other (though occasionally the boot loader might not work, so you might still need to boot from a CD to reinstall the bootloader).

If you've...
