You may be correct but my fear is that once I figure out the options and run it there may be an error that will blow the screen and I cannot reboot out of the trouble and what a horror show that would cause. Thanks for your trouble. I think I will just live with the black sidebars until I bite the bullet and generate an uptodated system.

That suggests that plasma-desktop didn't start, either because it was uninstalled during the upgrade or because it crashed. The easiest way to find out what is going on is to switch to a tty (Ctrl-Alt-F2), executing the command "export DISPLAY=:0" and then "plasma- desktop". If it complains about not finding the command, it got uninstalled (execute "apt-get install plasma-desktop). If it crashes, an update might work (there was a crash that was fixed yesterday). --Reinhold From kassube at gmx.net Mon Aug 1 05:20:22 2011 From: kassube at gmx.net (Nils Kassube) Date: Mon, 1 Aug 2011 07:20:22 +0200 Subject: how can I change display resolution permanently?

Well, I can't tell you _why_ either, but sometimes the system doesn't remember the wanted setting. To resolve this, I added the appropriate xrandr command to a KDM config file. First we have to find out the command you need. Start konsole and enter the command "xrandr". The output should have a line like this: LVDS1 connected 1280x960+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) The important part is the first word which designates the output name, which is "LVDS1" for my laptop (we already know the wanted mode). Now use the command kdesudo kate /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsetup to edit the config file and put the line /usr/bin/xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1280x960 before the last line of the file. And if the xrandr command showed a different output name, replace the "LVDS1" with the correct name for your machine.

After posting the thread I applied another update this morning which appears to have fixed the problem, kde now displays its desktop fine, albeit very slowly. Although, having said that, kde 4.6.5 is just as slow at startup and shutdown. regards, Steve -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Personally I would have created a folder called 'bin' inside my home directory and then made a symlink from ~/firefox_5/firefox to ~/bin/firefox. Next I would have copied the Firefox.desktop file from '/usr/share/applications' to '~/.local/share/applications and then opened it with Kate and changed the 'Exec' line to '~/bin/firefox' That way the system would use your Firefox unless the absolute path '/usr/bin/firefox' was used. -- Isak ~~~~~ Powered by PCLinuxOS http://www.pclinuxos.com/?page_id=2 From richard at underpope.com Mon Aug 1 18:30:36 2011 From: richard at underpope.com (Richard S.

I don't really know a lot about this, so this is likely the last idea I'll have... Have you tried looking at the permissions in konqueror (right click ->Properties->Permissions on the file you're trying to edit)? Also verify the username displayed. I haven't had much experience connecting to windows servers, so this is speculation, but perhaps it simply doesn't like clients outside a whitelist and won't let them write. --Reinhold From kubuntu-users at whamra.com Mon Aug 1 19:30:41 2011 From: kubuntu-users at whamra.com (Waleed Hamra) Date: Mon, 01 Aug 2011 22:30:41 +0300 Subject: Opening *.cs files in MonoDevelop In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4E36FEE1.7070101@whamra.com> On 08/01/2011 01:55 PM, Dotan Cohen wrote: > When I click on a *.cs file, MonoDevelop opens but it does not show > the file.

I tried your suggestion of the symlink but it still didn't work in Thunderbird so I did a: sudo apt-get --purge remove firefox then my 'Kicker' firefox entry didn't work anymore so I removed ~/bin/firefox and it started working again :-) but no matter what I do with Thunderbird, it doesn't want to open links in my Firefox 5 :-( For just now I will have to just copy and paste links into an open browser.....

I did try opening monodevelop from the cli with the filename, and with the %u %o %p parameters like other applications use. Nothing helped. However, interestingly, after updating to KDE 4.7 simply clicking on the file started working. I've been suffering this for months, and now that I post it fixes itself!

I was equally disheartened (on Kubuntu 10.10 using TB5 from the Mozilla ppa), having gone through the preliminaries as you've described plus the howto's on the Mozilla site, but despair not - there's a couple more settings to play with! Go to System Settings->File Associations 1) Enter 'html' in the search box. In 'Known Types' I see - application¬ x-khtml-adapter x-mimearchive xhtml+xml text¬ html htmlh 2) Highlight the 'xhtml+xml' entry. 3) The application you wish to use should be at the top of the list in 'Application Preference Order'. If you find a Firefox entry in the list go to ->Edit->Application to see where it is pointing to for the executable. In my case I'm using the Mozilla ppa and the command line is simply set to 'firefox %u'. To use a specific executable click the browse button to navigate to the location. If a Firefox entry does not exist click the add button to create one then set the command line. Once that's done set it to the top of the list. 4) Highlight the 'html' entry in 'Known Types' and repeat step 3) There's probably a simple console command to do it all but we'll have to wait for the command-line guru's to drop by for more info on that. Behaviour when file associations are set - FF Closed: TB opens FF and brings it to the front. FF Minimized: TB restores/maximizes FF and brings it to the front.

When I remote into the windows 2003 servers at work I get in as a different "administrator" than LOCAL\Administrator. I stopped paying attention to it a long time ago but it definitely is not in the same domain as when I am physically at the machine. Granted, my situation is using rdp not sftp but it may be something to check. How is the sftp connection set up on the windows box? My company doesn't see the value in buying sftp software for the file & print servers and will not consider anything not officialy blessed by the uber-lockdown mentality that run the company's network so I don't have direct experience with it. I have set up many ftp sites for inter-company transfers so I know that you have to give permissions in two places. On the actual folder and then somewhere on the ftp site (right-click to see it). Is your sftp software set up that way too?

Anything like that needs root perms. It should have asked you for your 'user' passwd so it can use sudo to actually do the install. Your install didn't ask? Its borked.

This should be an Atheros wired fast ethernet adapterIn my opinion kubuntu 8.04 is the best version released ever! I don't care if it's an obsolete system, this version is good enough for my needs. And I'll use it for a long time.I received information that this driver can be downloaded via konsole, but please note that I have no internet connection to do it! I think I need to find a wireless connection, so I can fix the problem.The question is: Where to find, and how to install.Thank you very much to the Kubuntu team, for this freedom, speed, and beauty that Ubuntu + KDE is forgiving for Linux users.

In the MAC/Linux CD there are two folders (printer and scanner) for Ubuntu (but from the docs seems for the 8,04 version or something similar) I tried to install this software.

But looking at the contents, I would at least try to install the printer the way it is described in the readme file. Even though it isn't meant for your Kubuntu version, it is quite likely that the installer works with the current version as well. First run the installer for their proprietary driver and then install the printer in CUPS. However the CUPS menues are different in the new version, so you will probably have to search a bit for the right pages. > I tried to install this software. When I connect the USB cable the > "installing a new printer" notification appears but the printer is > not installed. I would just ignore that message - if it doesn't work, the automatic installer probably doesn't know how to handle the proprietary driver for this printer, which is necessary to make it work.

I believe that to get the scanner to work you need to look in /etc/sane.d at the various .conf files and determine which one corresponds to your device. In those files there are comments that tell you what entry needs to be placed in the file to get sane to recognise the device.

It's a know bug[1] The workaround is using a more recent nvidia-driver. I'd love to see a working driver in the stable version of Kubuntu, but currently, you'll have to do it yourself.

If you did not get to a root shell then perhaps try "sudo dpkg --configure -a" but otherwise it should go through a process of either telling you all is well or trying to sort out "left over" configurations. I would log in to a recovery shell, do "sudo apt-get update" followed by "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" (or is that full-upgrade, can not remember) and then finally "sudo dpkg --configure -a". Then reboot and pray.

With a power outage there could have been someting not properly written to disk when the electricity was cut off, so it may be a bit difficult to track down the culprit causing kde to stop loading and freeze.

Using akonadi-kde-resource-googledata to sync my calendar and contacts just fine in 4.7 (and earlier). I don't think I had to do anything special, and it needed no reconfiguration after the upgrade. Maybe try removing the resource, then re-adding it?

Mine did. I installed the 275.19 driver and it is working a whole lot better now. Grab the latest from here, it's the 280.13 version. _Purge_ all nvidia* packages then install the downloaded one. Any kernel update will break it since it will not automagically recompile. You just need to boot into safe mode and run nvidia-xconfig in a root shell. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Then reboot and pray. When attached to a cable internet connection, I run apt-get update and about 40 packages appeared -- some plasma related. When upgraded, all works fine. It seems that indeed not all packages were downloaded and due to my lack of knowledge on how to connect the wifi through terminal I couldn't fetch these.

But no errors are in dmesg or /var/log/messages, they are purely a figment of the package tools imagination gone wild. One of the utilities put an icon up that said I had a crash, which was news to me since the machine was still working very nicely. This ntp error has been bugging me for about 6 months on a 32 bit ubuntu 10.04 LTS install on a Mach Speed Mobo carrying 2GB and an Xp1400 athlon processor. But to report the error, I have to create an account on launchpad, which I attempted to do, but when it said a confirming email had been sent, that meant I had to come to the house since this is the only machine on my local net that collects the email. Eventually, say about 15 minutes, the email showed up, and I made 2 passes at giving it a password, a very long one but it has no caps or numbers in it, so I used another shorter one I might stand a snowballs chance in hell of remembering this time tomorrow. It bought that, but then bounced me because I wasn't (I presume) on the same machine that I initiated the account request from. And a repeat click on the message got me bounced again like a white mouthed mule. Mind you this whole home network is behind a dd-wrt install with just one IP address. So you probably won't get the report the crash reporter collected about ntp, and I frankly don't have another quarter to waste calling someone who probably doesn't care anyway. I have no clue why its sending back an error 1, the machine and ntp are working fine, and its clock stays within milliseconds of this box for years at a time. If I ssh into that machine from here, and restart ntp: gene at shop:~$ sudo service ntp restart * Stopping NTP server ntpd [ OK ] * Starting NTP server ntpd [ OK ] gene at shop:~$ There is no error, but any time the updater software even checks for updates, I have another popup that takes manual closing by grabbing focus & refusing to allow a click away, advising me that ntp is miss-behaving. If that pops up on top of the emc control screen, stealing the focus so I have to clear it before I can even hit the emergency stop and save a $500 part from being trashed, I am going to be more than this amount of upset. After a good 6 months of this, it seems to me that it is well past time it was fixed. I would, but without specifics in the logs, how the hell am I supposed to know what needs fixed?

To get it synced I had to restart kontact every time.

This is only a wild guess, but I suppose there are some files in /var/crash as the result of a previous ntpd crash from about the time when the error report started to show up. If you don't intend to report that error, you could remove the files. > But to report the error, I have to create an account on launchpad, > which I attempted to do, but when it said a confirming email had > been sent, that meant I had to come to the house since this is the > only machine on my local net that collects the email. > > Eventually, say about 15 minutes, the email showed up, and I made 2 > passes at giving it a password, a very long one but it has no caps > or numbers in it, so I used another shorter one I might stand a > snowballs chance in hell of remembering this time tomorrow. > > It bought that, but then bounced me because I wasn't (I presume) on > the same machine that I initiated the account request from.

Launchpad doesn't care about the machine you are using.

IMHO the emergency stop should be a real switch, not a button on the screen. I would never rely on the software to work correctly in case of an emergency. But of course it is your machine and you probably know what you are doing. Furthermore I would suggest that you disable automatic updates so you can manually start updates when your machine isn't running and popups can't cause damage.

No argument there, but if tripped at high speed, then all axis's will need rehomed, destroying the present calibration. The button on the screen, or the esc key, does a graceful stop using the programed accel/decel rates so it doesn't lose position. > I would never rely on the software to work correctly in case of > an emergency.

Not automatic, just the advisory that its needed, a different problem, but I may have it go ahead and do it in the background while I am doing other work on the emc screen.

My point is that IF they really wanted the crash report, the crash report should have its own built in login facility that identifies it as a legit crash report. Putting the std human v machines captcha's and all that BS stuff should not be needed, nor encumbered by putting in the human element at all, and TBT to me, indicates a rather extreme lack of imagination / smarts on the part of the folks who coded this 'so-called' crash reporter. PGP it for heavens sake, with the developers key being the only one that can decode it. Or something similar in the way of 2 factor keys. The crash report is the important thing and /should/ contain everything needed to investigate, who filed it doesn't mean squat, its nothing but some bean counter counting beans. > You old emc is still going strong, eh, like the old man? :) I wouldn't call it all that old, we're using git now, and the version I'm running is only about a month old. 2.4.6-git-some-number.

It looks like there was an update for the ntp package which didn't work for some reason and the post installation script returned an error code. I'm not sure if everything is well with that package - maybe it would happen again? I would suggest that you manually check for updates with the command sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade and check if there is an update for the ntp package which would possibly cause the problem again. > > > If that pops up on top of the emc control screen, > > > stealing the focus so I have to clear it before I can even hit > > > the emergency stop and save a $500 part from being trashed, I am > > > going to be more than this amount of upset. > > > > IMHO the emergency stop should be a real switch, not a button on > > the screen. > > No argument there, but if tripped at high speed, then all axis's will > need rehomed, destroying the present calibration.

Apparently there is. That said it was going to update the flash-installer, then reported this in the early part: Setting up ntp (1:4.2.4p8+dfsg-1ubuntu2.1) ... chown: invalid group: `ntp:ntp' dpkg: error processing ntp (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 So now we know the cause of the error. And: root at shop:/etc# grep ntp passwd ntp:x:116:125::/home/ntp:/bin/false root at shop:/etc# grep ntp group root at shop:/etc# Hummmm, ahh, duh, no group 'ntp', WTH? Recommended fix? Or should I just add it to the group file? I did that, using the group # 125 from the passwd file, then re-ran the above apt-get sequence, and got this: 1 not fully installed or removed. After this operation, 0B of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y Setting up ntp (1:4.2.4p8+dfsg-1ubuntu2.1) ... * Starting NTP server ntpd [ OK ] No more error!!!!!! I did not personally delete that entry from /etc/group, so there must have been a borked update that edited the group file, or something along those lines, and a typu like that wouldn't even have had to be in an ntp related script! Damned computers, they (usually) do exactly as they are told. ;-) Thanks Nils. Now I believe it really is fixed. :-) Another tip of the hat in your direction.

With precious little docs on how to go about setting it up as a server, the net result being that every machine on my local network is pestering pool.ntp.org, whereas it should be only the router, dd-wrt on a stripped x86 box, and the machines on my local net should be using the router.

There is a package "ntp-doc" which includes the file "/usr/share/doc/ntp-doc/html/ntpd.html". It is quite simple to change the ntpd behaviour, though. In /etc/ntp.conf you have several lines starting with "server". Those are the servers that ntpd uses. You can simply delete them all and insert a single line server 192.168.1.1 where 192.168.1.1 would be the address of your router. Of course you might as well use the hostname.

That made an entry in the messages log that the file had been adjusted, but so far, the subdir /var/log/ntpstats is empty. Ahh, ntpstats had a # in front of it, now enabled for a few hours. Or until I remember enabling it. I hate to admit it, but forgetting such details is a definite possibility, and getting worse as the decades roll by. ;-) I remembered there was a query util, so I looked it up, and an 'ntpq -p' now returns: root at shop:/var/log/ntpstats# ntpq -p (watch word wrap) remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== router.coyote.d .INIT. 16 u - 64 0 0.000 0.000 0.000 Does that look normal?

Unforch, the dd-wrt is a complete, busybox based, nominally 11 megabyte download that you write to a CF, put the CF in an IDE adapter, and simply boot it. And while it has stood the test of time in turning away the attackers, it is also approaching 4 years old since its last update. I may yet see about openwrt, if it has an x86 compat build available.

So far, so good. All of the machines plugged into the 8 port switch that are generally up 24/7 have their own fixed addresses set in the ifcfg-eth0 files, with Network-Manager either removed or disabled. Suitable entries of course in all the hosts files. 200 feet of cat5 away, is a small Linksys 4 port workgroup 10/100 hub, with at least 2 more machines, one of them another 80 feet away but its an old, slow box I use for a sacrificial goat, hence its name is also goat. But I need to replace this 4 port + uplink 'hub', with something that looks like a hub, but also contains an access point, so my laptop can be used without stringing another 25 feet of cat5 around to trip over. So I bought another netgear WGR614V10 and hauled it to this 'shop' building. More or less out of the box, and with the cable from this house switch plugged into the WAN port, and the netgear WNR2000V3 gave it an address on the local network exactly as the netgear WNR2000V3 is set to do. That in turn, because the WGR614V10 still had its dhcp server enabled, gave the laptops cat5 connection an address in its default 192.168.1.X mapping when the laptop, which I had just installed ubuntu 10.04 LTS on, and worked well enough that it only took the lappy about 2 hours to pull in the build- essentials, kde-full, and then a full update to the newest stuff in the 10.04 LTS repo. Nice. But, because the cable coming from this machine via the local 8 port, was hitting the WAN port, everything behind that WAN port is invisible to me, and I normally do about 2/3rds of the work on that shop box from here where I have AC and a nice comfy chair. Now to show how little I actually know, I reasoned that this WGR614V10 really should function as a hub with a radio if I plugged my cable into a LAN port, and changed its LAN IP to this network by giving it an address on my local net. It would then function as a hub just like the hub I'd been using, but with a radio too. And that is the roadblock. Regardless of what I set the "to be unused" WAN ports address to, trying to apply my local network address to the LAN port is refused as it clashes with the WAN port. Can this be done at all? With a better router perhaps? This WGR614V10 was only $36 at Wallies & I don't really need the latest $250 whiz-bang unit that can talk 1/4 mile or more. In fact, my pocket sniffer can see other routers around me, one of the stronger ones is actually about 300 feet away! What if I re-install the hub, plug this units WAN port into the hub & let it send the DHCP requests on upstream. Don't use the LAN ports at all, just the radio, with NAT turned off, even the lappy's DHCP requests should get a usable local address. Or even better, turn off the DHCP requests and give the lappy a known address, which would greatly simplify network access from any machine to any machine that is known in the hosts file. Can someone please straighten me out on this while I still have some hair? Thanks. Cheers, gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

There are certainly several ways to achieve your wanted goal of connecting from each machine to all the other machines. I don't know if it is possible with the WGR614V10 to use it as a real router (i.e. disable NAT), because the setup manual I found doesn't tell anything useful. I think that option should be a part of the WAN setup. If that is possible, leave everything connected as it is (WGR614V10 WAN port -> WNR2000V3). You could disable the firewall on the WGR614V10 and tell the WNR2000V3 about a static route to the new 192.168.1.x network via the WGR614V10 WAN address. And to be sure that the WAN address doesn't change, you should make it a static entry. OTOH, your idea of using only the LAN side of the WGR614V10 isn't too bad either. Then you only have a single address range for the entire LAN. I don't know the Netgear stuff, but maybe you should first disconnect the WAN port, then set the WAN port to a static address outside your LAN (e.g. 10.10.10.10). Then reboot the router and setup the LAN address to something within your current LAN but _not_ the same address as your WNR2000V3. Then again reboot the router and disable DHCP. Granted, rebooting shouldn't be necessary, but if it doesn't like changing the LAN address range to the wanted range (like you wrote), it may help. If that worked, connect the rest of your LAN to one of the LAN ports of the WGR614V10. DHCP is then served by your WNR2000V3 and it should also work for the WLAN part. At least that's how it worked here with three different routers from different manufacturers.

This particular router, at its price, doesn't have the bells and whistles of the $70 models. Config isn't helped by the very unlike dd-wrt web interface. It does have an add static route page, which I may be able to make function like a hosts file, but uses MAC addresses instead. I have not tested that yet, up too early, but I have to act like a geek and check my email before going back to bed. ;-) Cheers, gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

But 2 problems with the new ndiswrapper-1.56 on lucid. ndisgtk (why is it not in any menu?) now suffers from the 'apply' button being ghosted out. And similarly, iwconfig seems incapable of assigning an SSID to wlan1. I assume something in the ndiswrapper AP has changed. an iwlist scan returns a list of 10 or 11 other local radios, including the router 4 feet away at -19 dbm. Some are as weak at -86 dbm, and it even sees the router here in the house (alu siding) at -71 dbm, so this dongle would appear to have some very sensitive ears. Time to go play with the router I want to use as an AP I guess. If I get anywhere, I'll post. Are these clues enough similar that anyone recognizes them?

Yup, taint there. I built it from the tarball, but there seem to be problems with it, ndisgtk has its apply button ghosted, like maybe NM has a lock on it now? I discovered a radio icon at the top of the screen and it seems to be able to manipulate this radio somewhat, but not enough to make it work. I temporarily have a second network set up at the routers base 192.168.1.1 address so I can access the lan side and play with its settings, but so far, the security is working perfectly, it will not even attempt to make a connection even with WPS & a nice long 63 char passphrase. :) No connect even if I set both ends to none and unplug the eth0 cable forcing NM to look for the wireless. Tomorrow I may try to disable the lappy's built in bcm4318 card & see if that makes any diff. But its getting late, so I shut both of the computers involved off for the night. I have about 13 hours in this so far. Thanks Jose Cheers, gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

I have the following problem: Sometimes(not everyday) a few time after working with the computer, it is very difficult to change the window, if I want to click somewhere outside the current window, nothing happens and I have to right-click on the current window, then I can click on a window-button in the the task bar and it appears, but this window also doesn't response so I have to right-click first on the task bar and then right-click on the window I want to use. Now I can use this window simple, but if I want to change to another window, I have to do the 2 right-clicks again.I didn't know how to describe this in 3 words, so I couldn't search the forums or launchpad really. I think this problem mainly occurs when I use applications that are not coded for KDE mainly (like Firefox, Chrome/Chromium and others) so I had the idea that there could be a problem with the GTK-design or other GTK-integration modules. Turning the desktop effects off doesn't help, I also tried 4 different graphic drivers(the after-installation-standard-driver, nvidia-current, nouveau and the up-to-date driver from nvidia's site). Because multitasking isn't funny with this problem, I also installed Ubuntu 11.04 as dual-boot which usually works without problems, but in one of 30 cases the same problem also happens to Ubuntu after a few hours of working(I don't know if it comes from the same). This problem really annoys me, because I really prefer KDE. Does anyone know how to solve my problem or are any logs needed?

Thanks! > this problem is one of those elusive nasty ones. there's no one reason why it would happen. as you suggested, yes, DHCP can very well be the problem sometimes, if the network fails to receive an IP address from the access point, NM disconnects it. you can try setting up manual IPs, and connect. if it stays connected, then try out the network. many times, DHCP wouldnt be working not due to a configuration error, but rather because the interface isnt receiving packets due to a driver problem. some people report that wpa_supplicant is the culprit, i suggest you try this command in a terminal: ps -Af | grep wpa_supplicant and see if more than one instance of this program are running. if just one, keep it, if more, kill them all, then start the program again by: sudo /sbin/wpa_supplicant -u -s let's just test these 2 theories for now, and we'll see what happens :) -- Waleed K.

But to answer your question: The shortcuts Ctrl-F1 etc. are preset to switch to the desktops with the associated number. You can change the settings if you right-click on the pager and select "Configure Virtual Desktops…". Select the "Switching" tab and at the bottom you can set the shortcuts. Well, that's how it works with 10.04, but of course things have changed if you use 11.04. Then you right-click the pager and select "Pager Settings". Select "Virtual Desktops" at the left and there you find the "Switching" tab again.

Mine has been getting cranky for a couple weeks so last night I opened it up and chased all the dust bunnies out. I used a small, stiff, paint brush to "sweep" it out then took a can of air and gave it a blow job. I've been using this same one for about twelve or so years. Just clean it out once in a while. Of course mine is a ball mouse, actually a track ball [ but that's just an upside down mouse ].

I am going to try to make kmail work for an out of state trip the end of the week. The updater installed a slightly newer kernel from the Lucid LTS repo's, but when I reboot to it, the wireless is dead, I assume because ndiswrapper doesn't load the dongles needed bcmwlhigh5.xx driver. But if I try to reinstall it again, ndiswrapper says its already installed. I can back up to the slightly older kernel, a 2.6.32-22 IIRC, and it all works perfectly and as fast as my cable circuit allows. The newer kernel is a 2.6.32-34 IIRC. And the ndiswrapper is 1.56, which I had to make from the tarball as Lucids 1.54 has no knowledge of the bcmwlhigh5 driver. Anybody have a clue they could loan me? While I am here, what key combo brings up the early grub bootfile selection screen? I have had to edit grub.cfg and change the default = 0 to a 2 in order to boot from the older kernel & bring back the network.

I have a question which I hope some can help me with. When I installed my KUbuntu it was KUbuntu 9.10 which was upgrade to KUbuntu 10.04 LTS and then to KUbuntu 10.10 and after that to KUbuntu 11.04. I then upgrade to KDE 4.7. But after that I only comes to log in screen after that the screen becomes black. In the end I was force to re-install KUbuntu 11.04 which I did. But now when KUbuntu 11.10 will be released soon do I dare to update since I believe that my graphic-card might not be able to work with KDE 4.7. My graphic-card is a Intel GMA 3100 should I buy a new graphic-card. The GMA 3100 is built in on my motherboard. The computer in it self is great. This is what it has a motherboard from ASUS with a 775 sockel and a Intel Core2Duo 2.20GHz a Intel GMA 3100 graphic and a harddrive from Western Digital 500Gb. Since this happen every time I started the computer I re-installed KUbuntu 11.04 and the computer works great now. But I am a bit afraid of upgrading it to KUbuntu 11.10 since it will probably have KDE 4.7 and it was after I upgrade from KDE 4.6.4 to KDE 4.7 the screen only became black after I log in. Could this because of the graphic-card having problem with KDE 4.7? Since Intel GMA 3100 is not the best graphic-card Yours Christer From gheskett at wdtv.com Mon Aug 29 11:59:20 2011 From: gheskett at wdtv.com (gene heskett) Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2011 07:59:20 -0400 Subject: Wireless dead with next kernel In-Reply-To: <201108290844.01420.kassube@gmx.net> References: <201108282145.35564.gheskett@wdtv.com> <201108290844.01420.kassube@gmx.net> Message-ID: <201108290759.20646.gheskett@wdtv.com> On Monday, August 29, 2011 07:15:04 AM Nils Kassube did opine: > gene heskett wrote: > > This is probably the wrong list, > > Why?

AND after doing a fresh make install from the ndiswrapper-1.56 src tree, I will have to move ndiswrapper.ko to the proper location in the /lib/modules tree also since the ndiswrapper-1.56 'make install' script puts the .ko in the wrong place. It puts it in the misc/wireless path, when it apparently needs to be in the kernel/drivers/net/wireless subdir. So I expect I can fix it this morning once I input enough coffee and a muffin & find enough clothes to legally walk around in the back yard where the machine shop is located. Apparently this bit of corrective use of mc's F6 button will be needed everytime a kernel is updated. I don't have that problem on the milling machine's LTS install as its net is wired, AND the kernel version frozen by its use of the RTAI engine, so this caught me a bit off guard. So, to those who, because your hardware is too new for LTS, build ndiswrapper "out of tree" from the tarball, either fix the Makefile, or move the .ko to where the system thinks it is supposed to be once the make install has been done. And I don't know enough about fixing Makefile's. > > I can back up to the slightly older kernel, a > > 2.6.32-22 IIRC, and it all works perfectly and as fast as my cable > > circuit allows. > > > > The newer kernel is a 2.6.32-34 IIRC. > > Please check the kernel version with the command > > uname -r > > in a terminal (konsole).

Of course > I can't tell you if your wireless would work with the 2.6.32-33 kernel > because I don't have that hardware. It does, but ndiswrapper is too old. IMO the real solution would be to allow the LTS wireless tree to track modern (read that as "available at Staples") hardware. ndiswrapper-1.54 is rather hopelessly old, and to be complete (security crap still doesn't work), so should the iw-tools things. Since that radio is not in an alu sided house, it can usually find 11 to 13 other 'cel's when a scan is done. Being forced to run it open, not even wep works with the state of the iw stuff in LTS, which is to me a far bigger security hole than anything they may or may not have patched in the -34 kernel. But I don't expect that attitude would win me any friends at cannon* either. :( To them I am just another crotchety old fart. > > While I am here, what key combo brings up the early grub bootfile > > selection screen? > > From [4]: > | Hold down SHIFT to display the menu during boot.

(shakes head in wonderment) Thanks, the ESC doesn't work, that is the 'normal' key for that, but of course the *buntu's just have to be different. They also steal F-key strokes from mc to pop up a worthless menu for something completely unrelated, making you run mc with a ^%$#@& mouse! What a PIMA drag that is. :( You can tell I've been running linux a long time, since RH5.0 TBE.

I hope this helps. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJOXPTwAAoJEB64QqUqUa0tBFUH/iU6SO2hbjhGpSRZ+PsWE/9y mUY4dx3Y7YMlvZWKS8a/8jUH0+XjKWtqpPj0//wUeyRrVtvRAO0q3FST28LEsLbZ 09LF1m9l0JHwJCAdReB3fj930VZ3aqUqlVE5emsAEvcmQG7z0sCQKtXFHlkaGcCQ YQLBQkGfrxLhOPp70IIDt/Sev+Hmo8pmiL6CGwyBkmfc7ktaH1N2m5i2fRnnko+D sOe2HqAGna/6IQBEQV1cX0x+1dGlUiBx7Vme8r46tWO6cZgX0yu3Sq+nPcOKHLiR 9gdf8E/dj9a3RILlnZECq7iZcoIEB9ngD7BSwhMghGEJIU0DTenwpgZmmDHJ9cw= =wUCZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From laytonjb at att.net Tue Aug 30 20:53:18 2011 From: laytonjb at att.net (Jeff Layton) Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2011 16:53:18 -0400 Subject: Problems with disconnecting USB drives Message-ID: <4E5D4DBE.2080300@att.net> Good afternoon, I'm running Kubuntu 11.04 on a USB hard drive connected to a 4-port USB hub to my laptop (this way I can run Linux on my work laptop when I need to :) ). I've got another USB drive that is formatted as ext3 and contains some data I want to access from the laptop when I'm booted into Kubuntu. Every time I plug the drive into the hub I get the following error message in the system logs: [ 161.254142 ] usb 2-1.1.2 USB disconnect, address 7 At this point I can no longer access the Kubuntu drive and the system ends up freezing at some point because the drive is not longer there. I've waited for a long time (15 minutes) to see if it's doing USB device discovery but no joy. I surfed around the net a little but didn't see any apparent ways to fix this. Any ideas? TIA!

Thanks, that is something else I'll look at when next I fire it up. Trying to get stuff in one sock so I can go help a bro-in-law celebrate his 80 something birthday over the weekend.

This stealing of F-key is an option that is on by default from many terminal emulations under X in gnome, but you can set it off by changing the profile you are using. Using KDE and Konsole, I don't have this problem, but from Gnome I use to have this and it is easily remedied. Hope this helps > Cheers, gene Kind regards, Guus Bonnema.

I don't even know the terminal proggy its running. What kde I am running, is running with gdm though. I tried kdm, but it wouldn't even boot to the login screen. And I've not settled into that chair for long enough to figure out what might be the kdm problem.

When you fire up a terminal to do some command line stuff, then you should see a menu and one of the menu options should be to alter the properties or profile for using the terminal. Thats where you will find the option to override the stealing of F-keys (like F10). Switch that off and you are in business. Guus.

Most likely Bios was then in efi mode. - I tried to install Kubuntu 11.04 (either 64 or 32 bit) in all cases everything went smooth. Grub however was to be installed per default not in the MBR but in /dev/sda and exactly at the end of the installation I obtained the error message grub cannot be installed in /dev/sda this is a serious error. - so I repeated the installation selecting /dev/sda4 where linux is going to live as a target but I obtained at the end of the installation process the same error message. I never encountered anything like this.

So this assumes that the added device draws more power than is available and causes the shutdown of the first device. I tried an experiment to see if it was Kubuntu. I plugged the devices into the USB hub under Windows just to see what would happen. You are correct. When the first drive is plugged and getting power, plugging in the second drive shuts down the first drive. I still see the power light on the first drive but the USB hub light for that port goes black. So I'm assuming this means too much power. Thanks for the idea! Now I just need to figure out how to power these devices externally :) Thanks!

By right, you will need a separate /boot partition and flag it as "boot" and install "/" to a separate partition. Leave the first partition "sda1" as "bios-grub" and the second was used by Windows as the "boot". Suggest you create another partition as /boot and flag this instead as "boot". After installation, the installation may still be "buggy" and you may need then to install "grub-efi". I also suggest that after installation (and before update/upgrade) and before rebooting, you do a "grub-install" by sudo apt-get install grub-efi sudo grub-install /dev/sda If however, you still have problems, see comment #15 of https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+question/166162 But I suggest you try to do this first (ie., if you still have problem).... Boot live cd.. Purge grub-pc install grub-efi mount /dev/sdax to /mnt [# sdax is your /boot partition] grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt /dev/sda All above as root. Reboot without livecd Then update/upgrade and update-grub.

Oops, hope you mean 11.04. I think 10.04's grub is not good for grub-efi.
