I am newbie to ubuntu. I would like someone to explain how to use sudo command to unzip & install .tar.gz file to me.
Just installed natty, and cannot find /var/log/messages
. Also, /var/log/daemon.log
is missing. What happened? Why are they no longer present? And where I can find the same log information?
I could have sworn that there was once a setting for this in the gnome-terminal "Profile".
And then in some version of Ubuntu, that setting disappeared, and I had to use System ➜ Preferences ➜ Keyboard to uncheck "Cursor blinks in text fields".
Well, neither of those seems to be working now. So how do I make the cursor stop blinking?
I recently reinstalled Ubuntu 11.04 Natty after a massive hard drive failure.
Now, for some reason, compiz and Xorg decide it's a fun idea to start eating up my RAM and CPU - GB by GB. Starts out at normal amounts, but quickly balloons to 1-2+GB and starts using most of my CPU. This never happened before, but none of my hardware has really changed. The only difference being that I installed 11.04 cleanly, whereas before I had upgraded from 10.10.
For example: Rebooted my computer last night. Only program running is Transmission. Come back this morning - Xorg is using 1.5GB RAM and over 50% of my CPU. There is NOTHING else running or installed. I haven't activated any fancy Compiz plugins at all. What gives?
I'm running 11.04 on a 4x AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 640 Processor with 8GB RAM. I'm using the integrated ATI Radeon HD3300 GPU with the AMD Catalyst 11.5 driver - but this problem occurs with the 11.4 AND built-in fglrx drivers as well.
I can give any other logs or sysinfo if that is needed.
I just recently upgraded from 10.04 to 11.04 and gdb won't allow me to attach to processes anymore I get the error
Attaching to process 10144 Could not attach to process. If your uid matches the uid of the target process, check the setting of /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope, or try again as the root user. For more details, see /etc/sysctl.d/10-ptrace.conf ptrace: Operation not permitted.
How do I fix this so that I can debug again without sudo?
