    [ubuntu] Re: Boot Ubuntu to Console

    Maybe I misunderstood what you're trying to do, but as I understand it, you just want the machine to go into a text console login after running some custom Python script at boot?

    All you need to...
  2. [SOLVED] Re: Copying and pasting multiple lines from a file into a new emacs file

    Emacs is an extremely powerful tool (it's basically a LISP interpreter with file editing functions built in). I run my terminal inside Emacs itself so I don't have to worry about ever using my mouse...
  3. [SOLVED] Re: Copying and pasting multiple lines from a file into a new emacs file

    Is there any reason you can't open the files you want to copy from in Emacs as well? Then you just copy and paste within Emacs. Emacs should ignore the "soft" line breaks that the terminal would...
  4. [SOLVED] Re: No 3D with Intel HD P3000 (Xeon Variant of i7)

    Wow! I'm starting to feel kind of dumb now. I can't tell you how long I fought with this issue.

    Thanks for the post!

    [all variants] Re: Interlink VersaPad driver/problems

    I'm experiencing these problems as well. I'm not really a kernel dev either, but I'll take a look at it and see what I can figure out.

    Are you having any trouble with the ethernet port? I'm...
  6. [ubuntu] Super Slow USB Throughput After Natty Update. Anybody Else??

    I accepted the latest Natty update about which I was notified a couple of days ago (I don't remember exactly). I don't remember a new kernel being pushed out, but for the record I'm on...

    [ubuntu] Re: Slow USB mouse after upgrade to Natty.

    All right. Now I rebooted with the second monitor attached and everything is still okay. So I'm officially stumped.

    I'm glad that the problem is fixed, but I sure wish I knew what fixed it.

    [ubuntu] Re: Slow USB mouse after upgrade to Natty.

    Well, gee. I rebooted into the older version of the kernel (2.6.35) and unplugged the secondary monitor from the laptop. Then the mouse was working properly. So I was ready to blame it on the...

    [ubuntu] Re: Slow USB mouse after upgrade to Natty.

    Okay, so I've tried a couple of things: Modifying the pointer feedbacks (both via xset and xinput) and modifying the mouse polling rate by using the "mousepoll=" option when loading the usbhid kernel...

    [ubuntu] Re: Slow USB mouse after upgrade to Natty.

    Well, now that you mention it, I did kind of notice that the mouse on my docking station seemed a bit "slow" as well after the upgrade. I won't be back in the office until Monday, so I'll have to...

    [ubuntu] Slow USB mouse after upgrade to Natty.

    I have a Dell Latitude E6410 that I just yesterday upgraded to Natty. Everything seemed to go fairly well, save for one issue. The USB mouse that I have plugged into it shows *A LOT* of lag between...

    [ubuntu] Re: Permissions

    The way to add new sudo privileges is via the "visudo" utility (man visudo). The only catch here is that you need root to use visudo. So if you've lost your root password, this isn't going to help...

    [ubuntu] Re: Root partition 100% of full usage

    Well, I'm taking a total guess as to what your fstab looks like (a copy would help to provide a clearer answer).

    I find that /boot tends to grow a little out of control after a couple of kernel...
  14. [ubuntu] Re: want to print a list of installed packages (as backup)

    Is there some reason that using "apt-get dist-upgrade" isn't working for you?
  15. [ubuntu] Re: want to print a list of installed packages (as backup)

    Forgot to mention, if you're using a C-shell variant, things are a little trickier. C-shell historically didn't support I/O redirects. So it might be easier just to switch to bash, even if it is...
  16. [ubuntu] Re: want to print a list of installed packages (as backup)

    If you're using "bash" as your shell (or any of the Bourne shell variants: ksh, zsh, ash, etc), just do:

    dpkg -l > packages.list

    This will store all of your package selections in the file named...

    First of all, don't despair. In general, you'll find the Linux user community quite willing to help you out when you run into trouble.

    Sounds like you have a couple of problems there. Let's take...

    "mount -t ntfs" doesn't do it for you? What have you tried so far?
