I ran into the following issue: I'm using Ubuntu One to sync my files (across multiple computers), for what it's intended.
But due to some mysterious reason it promts to me, that there will be some files uploaded. And this again and again and so on.
Plus, when I want to shut down my computer and dismiss the desktop session, I'm notified, that Ubuntu One is currently running or hung up unexpected.
I'm quite impressed of emacs' org-mode. So I want to use it for note-taking during lectures. To use it "distraction-free" my idea is the following:
I want to register a bash-command, which swaps the x-server session with tty2 and starts emacs with its org-mode. Is it possible to pass my credentials from the x-server session to tty2 (optional)?
I'm using hamster-tracker on different machines, so, I want to share my data across these. How can I achieve, that hamster is using one single database, which is synced via ubuntu one?
How can I export a pgp-key from one machine and import it to another? The only way I figured out (in seahorse) was to import it to the section other keys.
But I want to use one single pgp-key from diffrent machines. Is this easier to solve via terminal and gpg? I'm a little bit confused about seahorse.
I've tried to connect to a server via wget:
wget http://<user>:<pass>@serveradress
But wget responds: invalid port
I know that the server accepts incoming traffic at port 80. How can I fix this issue?
I'm thinking of an investment in a new root server running ubuntu. Due to the fact, that the provider won't have extra backup-space, I need an other solution.
Is it possible to download the server backups automatically when my desktop machine is connected to the internet and in idle state?
After getting some old, but fancy hardware from my friends, I want to setup a second PC running ubuntu. Due to the fact that the hardware is more than five years old, I'll have to tweak some things to work with acceptable speed.
Does anyone have some recommendations what do to? And yes, I need a graphical interface :)
Are there any known issues or is this way just a time-saver for lazy people.
In OpenSuse there is a applet for choosing different energy-profiles for your notebook. Are there any tools/applets that will enable those features for ubuntu?
I'm working with a Sony Vaio BZ-12 Notebook and want to know how to manage the brightness of my display, especially when it's in eco-mode.
The designated Graphic-Accelerator is the Intel GM45. With the 10.04 release I could control the brightness with the Fn keys, but not all the time.
