I'd try going into System -> Administration -> Authorizations. Then go to device-access, select Directly access sound devices, click on block, and select the user you want to disallow.

I just wrote a quick script to fix this. Do this:

vi intel.jaunty.fix and paste this:


#!/bin/bash
if [ -e ~/.compiz ]
then echo "SKIP_CHECKS=yes" >> ~/.compiz/compiz-manager
else ...

Hi,
Sorry it's taken forever for me to reply. It doesn't look like your drive crashed physically, instead I think the logical structure of it crashed. I would recommend running a deep fsck to...

Hi,
I dual-boot XP and Linux on some systems, and to save disk space, I'm wondering if its dangerous to store my XP pagefile on my ext2 swap partition. I use the fs-driver.org driver so that I...

If I read this correctly, you have 2 hard drives. If sdb is the 2nd drive, it will be hd1 in grub. Grub is most likely in (hd1,0)/boot/grub/. Second, can you post the output of dmesg and sudo...

if you are uncertain about making the .iso, I create my ISO's this way:
dd if=/dev/dvd of=~/filename.iso
This gives you a bit for bit copy of the dvd, just change /dev/dvd to /dev/cdrom if you are...

I think if you don't have that fast a computer that it also depends where you are playing the file from. I find that files play much quicker for me off my hard drive then off an optical disc drive...

How will this work with updates? Say I apt-built firefox this way, then an update for firefox is released. Will the precompiled binary package get installed over my compiled one, or will it know to...

Hi,
I'm wondering if it's possible to configure Ubuntu to automatically build packages from source. Normally, if I want to install something from source, I'd do this:

sudo apt-get build-dep...

Yeah, although it sounds simple, I guess I'd verify that the disk not showing up doesn't work on a different channel, and that it is getting power. I'll research this a bit, see if I can dig...

after you do that, fdisk -l still gives the same output? are the sata disks partitioned already?

Hi,
I had an interesting issue similar to this with a slackware system yesterday. I think that udev (which handles the mapping and population of the /dev folder) hasn't properly triggered to map...

what group owns it? You should add the samba user people connect as to that group as well, although I'm sure you've done that.

H1, H2, and H3 are different headings, H1 is the biggest by default, H2 a bit smaller, and H3 the smallest. The Jaunty Testing Forum isn't really the right forum for this though, I think you...

Oh, sorry, didn't realize you're creating these locally. I'm researching how you can do this now, but so far, I'm not finding anything I think will work. What are the permissions on the root of the...

the builtin tracker tool I believe. Does Beagle do anything but index files?

Yes, I apologize. I mistook Beagle for the internal tracker tool.

if you provide some information on your configuration, and more details on how you do this, I'd love to try to help. This is really interesting, could you give some configs and such?

You can accomplish this in your /etc/samba/smb.conf file by adding these two lines to the Movies share:

force create mode = 0777
force directory mode = 0777

Let me know if that helps....

is this a laptop or desktop? When this happens, you should do dmesg to see what's going on. It could be that the DHCP lease is expiring, which can be resolved by doing
sudo /etc/init.d/networking...

I believe that if you go to System->Preferences->Search and Indexing tab you can control the amount of memory usage by Beagle.

Thanks, but I'm looking for something a big more concrete than that.

yeah that was what I was getting at by asking if they had the same gateways. I think if you set the gateways for the 2 networks to be different, you may be able to do this using some clever iptables...
