I'm using rookcifer's apparmor profiles for Chrome, with some minor tweaks. The latest update to Chrome, however, crashes on start if a USB drive is present (and crashes if already running when a USB...

I have verified on another instance that this is normal under the default apparmor profile when netstat is invoked with -p. The most likely explanation for the new behaviour is that the bin.ping...

I am getting these new apparmor messages at boot time on 12.04 server as of a few days ago:



I don't know why this behaviour has changed, what process is calling netstat at boot time, why it...

Thanks!

That link also led me to this one:

Hopefully one of these will be included in Ubuntu by default in the...

Once I replicate this process trouble-free, I will write a HOWTO since I haven't been able to find a clear one anywhere.

Since I was able to boot into the alternate install's rescue shell, I fixed this problem. I executed the following commands, although I don't know if the first two were of any consequence, but I did...

This thread seems to address the issue, but I am not sure where these parameters are set in Ubuntu:

So I have mostly solved this. Starting with the standard LUKS+LVM setup created by the alternate install CD, I wanted to map a new drive to the LUKS+LVM root volume.

I was able to do this as...

Thanks for the tips. It appears zeitgeist-extension-fts is installed by default, but I cannot find where to configure it. It does not seem to index .doc, .odt, or .pdf files. Nor can I see how to set...

Is there an alternative indexing search tool that you think is better? If not, my original question still stands.

I am setting up a system for a friend, and I want to make it as easy to use as possible. With the advent of Unity there is no longer a default indexing search feature to search all files, which to me...

(Reposting this here since I posted in the general forum with no luck.)

I encrypted my system drive using the whole disk encryption option on the 11.10 alternate install CD. I would now like to...

I encrypted my system drive using the whole disk encryption option on the 11.10 alternate install CD. I would now like to add a second drive, and have the system treat this drive space as part of the...

I have an old external drive that I want to copy data from. It is formatted as ext3 and it was used with Ubuntu previously, with no issues. Many of the file names use "special characters" and now in...

My research suggests that GNOME has made it very difficult to customize keyboard layouts.

However, I did find this:

I need to create a custom keyboard layout for Canadian Aboriginal syllabics. How do I do this? Keyboards exist for Windows and Mac.

I can't find any current documentation for this.

In Ubuntu 10.10, when you install Windows applications in Wine, often it will mess with the default file associations in Gnome, so that Gnome will call a WINE app to open a file even if there is a...

Why is StartSSL free?

When I boot 2.6.35 on my install, tethering works. When I boot 2.6.37, it doesn't. I did remove and reinstall ipheth-dkms, ipheth-utils, and gvfs, but it made no difference. I suppose I will have to...

I can report that the fix reported here does not work for me:

Hi all,

I have a bunch of hex files I need to search for text strings in hex files (from an address book backup). In 8.10 I could use the file search program from the "Places" menu to do this....

I was experiencing sporadic screen racing and flicker that was making my new 10.10 installation unusable. After researching online, I installed the kernel as available here:...
