This should work in 11.04 too. Also, just try renaming /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/dialog-question.ogg

Or maybe removing the symlink /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/system-ready.ogg

Same issue. The trouble started after moving my home folder from a 10.04 box to a 10.10 install. Renaming ~/.pulse and rebooting worked for me. I suspect a reboot is not necessary, but I had to...

This should work:

crontab -e

Then make your changes and save the file. It will be installed automatically. Here is some documentation that you might find helpful.

I've worked with Xen quite a bit, and although I've never spent much time on sound, my understanding is that Xen supports sound just fine. Perhaps Amazon hasn't implemented certain features, or...

Please mark this thread solved, if you feel it's appropriate. :)

tommyleeds, just to clarify, if you want a more stable release, use the LTS ("Long Term Support") releases. 10.04 was the latest LTS, but not all .04 releases are LTS. AFAIK, there's nothing special...

Sounds like a DNS issue. Sorry if you've already evaluated that or I misread! If you have another Ubuntu/Debian box on the network, try the command:


host servernamedig will also work

Or in...

No kidding. I would strongly recommend upgrading, unless there's a really good reason not to.

I agree, it's an interesting idea. I've not used FreeNX much, otherwise I'd offer some advice. The only thing I'd suggest is to run SSH on an alternate port once you get everything working. This...

Yep, ubuntu-desktop is large. Run the following to get details on ubuntu-desktop package:


apt-cache show ubuntu-desktopThis is what is normally installed when you install Ubuntu. The graphical...

Do you want the standard Ubuntu desktop? If so, run the following command:


sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

Hmm, wild shot in the dark, but try:

startxThe output of the following commands might help us identify your system:


cat /etc/issueand


uname -a

Hmm... Not sure why then. Anything interesting in /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? Maybe run the following to find interesting stuff:

egrep '!!|WW|EE' /var/log/Xorg.0.log*

No hard feelings. Anyway, I was responding to OP. Also, I'm still happy with Liferea! :P

I've also liked RSSOwl -- not sure about caching features there... GL

Could be a feature designed to prevent accidental mouse clicks when typing. If it's hardware based, there might be something in the BIOS that would allow you to disable that behavior. HTH

Uhh... I just said "+1 Liferea"

OP wanted an RSS reader recommendation... I use Liferea and like it, so I recommended it. I never claimed it was "offline capable". Sad that something as innocuous...

Once I ran into similar trouble. Run
md5sum /path/to/ubuntu-9.10-server-whatever.iso and make sure the output matches the corresponding entry here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes

Also, howtoforge.com is a good starting point for tons of stuff.

+1 to diving into needed projects!

Also, aggressive googling! If you need to do something, chances are someone has done it before. The only books I've purchased:

Get familiar with iptables. That's your firewall. Still, disable and restrict any listening services you don't need. We use iptables primarily to limit access to admin web interfaces...

Yeah, RAID is definitely not a substitute for good backups. Personally, I'd buy more disks if I had to, or reuse existing disks. DVD-Rs would be a pain.

Maybe ditch RAID altogether. I know you...

Sorry, I should have included some links. WinXP SP2 broke many then new (e.g. Photoshop CS) and old apps:

That's not enough. For example, Windows XP SP2 broke many apps that worked fine in XP SP1.

Ubuntu for home. Debian / CentOS for servers. If you're looking for super stable but want to be able to easily install some of the latest software, I'd recommend Debian stable + debian backports.
