'http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid/main Packages' exists. It works well on one of my other Ubuntu Lucid machines. The only different is the APT configuration.

My Ubuntu Lucid (10.04.2) is unable to update the Packages list on launchpad.
Here is what I get:

There is no doubt. It *is* worth it, provided the resolution is good enough.

Did you try it yourself and succeed in watching netflix streaming? If this works without any problem, it would reign as the most recommended method for watching netflix on linux.

I don't understand why other linux users suggest using netflix with wii or ps3 or other netflix-compatible consoles with a TV set. This thread is about using netflix *on* linux.

The easiest (and...

Never mind. I solved it myself before you guys could respond.

I want to translate this .fdi clause



into its Xorg equivalent. What does it look like?

I need to revert the change I've made in my xorg setting files. As soon as X starts, my keyboard and mouse gets disabled. So I need to start in the console mode. How do I do it on Lucid?

I have a working fstab entry:



But how do I mount the sdc drive with those options from the command-line without restarting? I've tried to do so with 'mount' utility, but had no luck.

By the way, "noapic nolapic" shouldn't cause a performance problem since my computer has Atom processor, which is single-core.

John,

Thanks a bunch for pointing me to the right direction. I tried several
approaches suggested in one of the links in #8 and found that appending "noapic
nolapic" option worked like a charm...

John,

Thanks for your suggestion. Certainly I've never seen anyone mentioning changing
the clocksource before, which is a nice surprise. I tried it, but after a
reboot, the system became...

Mine's:

$ cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/*
hpet acpi_pm
hpet

Haven't studied how I should interpret this yet, but at least hpet is there.

No. Even if I set the correct time for the system clock, it runs slower, which will become apparent after an hour. So I end up running '/sbin/hwclock --hctosys' periodically, which is kinda stupid....

'date' and 'hwclock --show' show big differences in time. Hardware clock keeps the correct time, but 'date', the system clock, doesn't (often wrong in a matter of hours). So I'm sure it is the...

No one knows what it is?

I couldn't find any documentation.

I'm on Karmic and my HDD is formatted in ext4. What's /var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs and why is it there? How do it get rid of it?

i can't believe some people here are using a browser that's not even open-sourced.

how could this have happened?

been using Karmic from its beta. i do feel it isn't as robust as i would have liked, but i'm loving it so far overall.

`synclient TouchpadOff=1` used to work to disable the touchpad, but it doesn't
work anymore on Karmic presumably due to less reliance of karmic on xorg.

But then how do you disable the touchpad?

Mine (Karmic) boots in 15 seconds.

To debug your system, you can follow the procedure below:

1. Edit /etc/default/grub and make the following change:

No upgrades on "apt-get dist-upgrade" today. I usually get about 40-60 upgrades per day.

Is this due to the RC release? Why no updates today?

Weird. I started experiencing the same thing. Probably a bug on CVS.

/tmp permission is 777 by default. anybody can create a directory under it.
