I actually returned this laptop and went back to Mac. The laptop and Ubuntu are super nice, but...the trackpad hardware and software simply aren't as refined as those on Mac. Also just overall more...

Solved. Answer here: http://serverfault.com/questions/75008/why-are-my-reverse-ssh-tunnels-suddenly-dying/75011#75011

I have had persistent tunnels from all my client computers to my servers in place for about a year now. I've not updated my server or changed any configuration files--as far as I remember--for...

I finally got it working by installing Jaunty and doing some special configuration. Notes on this here.

My server has the same issue with SSH (inside AND outside my network), but I can always connect via FTP.

I have a Hardy server on my home network, and about once a week for the last few weeks I have been unable to connect to the thing via SSH. Here is some output:

Hi,

I am on Ubuntu Hardy (Mint 5, Elyssa, actually, which is a derivative of Ubuntu). Each and every time, without fail, that I try to do a conference call with my co-workers, the mic stops...

Hmm, my numpad no longer works. Could this be related?

After going through the steps, including upgrading and time-consumedly having to reinstall my graphics driver, it works. Thanks for the link :)

Every. Single. Time. I use Adobe's Flash player (v9) to play music and then go back to play sound using desktop apps such as mplayer, Totem, and Skype, the desktop apps freeze. I have to restart...

Ripping using the Xvid codec--as described on that page--works much better:

Whenever I rip a DVD (using Hardy) following the multi-pass instructions here, the audio and video is pretty darn out of sync. Here are the commands I used:


mencoder dvd://1 -ovc frameno -o...

In case this helps anyone...

Ah, that could be one factor in the activity increase: it's running two operating systems at once. The vm disk image is on the same physical drive as the host OS, but it's on a separate partition.

Thanks, but no cigar. It's still accessing the harddrive frequently after defragmentation.

That could be possible. Where would I check the settings for this?

*EDIT* Ah, nevermind. Why do I always post before I search myself? Found it. I'll defragment manually and see what happens.

Whenever I have Windows XP Pro loaded in VMWare Server, my harddrive is constantly being accessed. The VM's memory usage is well under 100MB, and it has 512MB to work with. This doesn't happen with...

I have found that the following GL screensavers lock up my system consistently (or make my system VERY slow):

Can anyone give me a lead on the error pictured here http://chadjohnson.ath.cx/error.jpg ? I get this when resuming from suspend on a gateway laptop with a Turion X2 processor and nvidia integrated...

Fixed (apparently)! I had forgotten to enable the Intel HDA sound module when I compiled the kernel. I recompiled with this, and the menu is, for some reason, as fast as it was before.
