You show how to create LocalISORepository. But how do you populate it with ISO files? I just can't figure out how to get an ISO file that's in my file system copied into LocalISORepository.

I'm trying to create a VM in openxenmanager. How on earth do I access an ISO to install an OS? There's a LocalISORepository that's empty and no way to find out WHERE this is so that I can copy an ISO...

Thanks. I just found that! (Controls that don't look like controls. How smart is that?) But when you log in through RDP, you don't get that login screen and can't make a choice. Should my choice...

I've installed ubuntu server. Then I installed ubuntu-desktop for a GUI. It's Unity. I'd hold my nose and use Unity, but it doesn't work over RDP. No taskbar is visible. I can't do anything. I...

Does this matter? Will it stop something from working?

Starting pavucontrol from the command line, I see it is subtly different to the panel Sound Settings. But still you can choose one input, one output with no ability to monitor inputs like Line In or...

So this is the new Gnome. My system's functionality is hard to find. Multitasking is cumbersome and it's slow as hell. I'll stick with Xfce. Thanks, guys.

On a VirtualBox VM, I have installed the Gnome variant of Ubuntu 13.04 (64-bit), but it looks like Unity:


There's no menu, just an Activities button on the top left that switches to a screen...

Running xubuntu 13.04 here. I'm talking about the volume control / sound settings app embedded in the Notification area in the top panel.
As far as I can tell, this is pavucontrol. Its...

Thanks, dentaku65. Firefox no longer starts with the session. And the stability problems appear to be solved too. Another one for my notes.

I'm running xubuntu 13.40, which has been generally well-behaved since I installed it a week ago.

Suddenly today, every time I log on, firefox starts. It's not in the auto-start session list. and...

The more I look at it, the less sense it makes.

There is no such string as "raring/restricted" or "raring-updates/restricted" in the sources.list file. So what are these error messages about?

The first command just lists sources.list.

The second command shows


Using the third command, I list those two dropbox files, which both contain: which is not included in sources.list. Do I...

When I run sudo apt-get update I get some messages that are unclear:

So, what is duplicated with what?
Is the problem within sources.list, or between sources.list and /var/lib/apt/lists, or in...

The installer does mount partitions. Excerpt from dmesg:

My installation failed with "Error mounting /tmp". Input/output error. I selected M (Manual Recovery) and dropped to a shell. That's how I...

I want to install the latest Xubuntu to a specific HD partition and then run update-grub in my existing 12.10 system to add Raring to the boot menu. The installer does not appear to offer this as an...

Part of the problem might be that libpam-gnome-keyring is not competently installed. From my new xubuntu 13.04 system:

This won't show at the GUI level, but it means that anything you do there...

New releases don't fix long-standing problems, such as

* the intrusive demand for a keyring password (that you might not have set) which captures the keyboard, interrupting whatever you were doing...

I've installed Oracle Java JDK 7 and I'll give it a try.

The "Application Blocked by Security Settings" warning only ever occurred with local applet examples from vendors. Java apps like...

I have solved the problem by re-installing the iced-tea-7-plugin and iced-tea-jre-jamvm packages.

It's really confusing that there are so many kinds of Java present at the same time: icedtea,...

Hi slickymaster,

Everything in IcedTea Web Control Panel > Security is selected. The options are all positive (allow, show) and none of them imply blocking anything.

When I try to run an OpenJDK demo applet (copied from /usr/share/doc/openjdk-7-jre-headless/demo/) in Firefox, I get a dialog that says



Where are these security settings? How can I regain the...

I have the same problem in Xubuntu 12.10 with a Samsung cell phone. Adding obexpushd made it possible to push files from the PC to the phone. ussp-push didn't help at all. The PC doesn't show up on...

Xubuntu 12.10 here. I took the partial upgrade. Advice: AVOID!!!
Wine was removed, but not upgraded. I hope nothing else was lost.
I hope it helps that I opted to keep the package files rather...
