I am trying to download flareget download manager via wget I get error
wget http://www.flareget.com/files/flareget/debs/amd64/flareget_2.3-24_amd64(stable)_deb.tar.gz
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
Why is that error coming and what is the solution for that?
I have broken and partial upgraded system, it was attempted to upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 some how things did not went fine, and in next consecutive months I kept using this system. Later on when ever I needed to install a package like bind9 or some thing or some package I always landed in trouble,either I select one by one which package or dependency needed to be downgraded or I do some kind of circus.It wasted a lot of precious time.
Is it possible to bring back the system from this state to a state when 12.04 fresh installation package were present.
I am having a scanner/printer which needs hp-plugin, it is installed,some how I have forgotten what went wrong during installation because when I try to run
sudo hp-plugin
I get following error
HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.12.2)
Plugin Download and Install Utility ver. 2.1
warning: Qt/PyQt 4 initialization failed.
error: hp-plugin requires GUI support (try running with --qt3). Try using interactive (-i) mode.
when I am running with
sudo hp-plugin --qt3
I get error
error: option --qt3 not recognized
What should I do now?
Following is my BIND9 configuration.
The domain I want to configure is home.lan. It is the home network.
/etc/bind/named.conf.local is:
zone "home.lan" IN {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/zones/home.lan.db";
};
zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/zones/rev.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa";
};
/etc/bind/named.conf.options is:
options {
directory "/var/cache/bind";
// If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
// to talk to, you may need to fix the firewall to allow multiple
// ports to talk. See http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/800113
// If your ISP provided one or more IP addresses for stable
// nameservers, you probably want to use them as forwarders.
// Uncomment the following block, and insert the addresses replacing
// the all-0's placeholder.
// forwarders {
// 0.0.0.0;
// };

// If BIND logs error messages about the root key being expired,

//========================================================================
dnssec-validation auto;
auth-nxdomain no; # conform to RFC1035
listen-on-v6 { any; };
};
Since it is a personal network, I do not need any forwarders section,so did not configure it.

From client machine when I try to ping I get the following results:

There is no file like /var/log/bind.log
So I amnot sure where to look for it.
Here is dig output at server:

What is the mistake in above DNS configuration?
kalu is the hostname of machine on which I am configuring all this.
To enable logging in BIND9 rndc querylog it shows:

I am unable to connect to the wireless network from Ubuntu 12.04 where as I can connect to the same wireless network via Windows 7, here is a snapshot of connected network in Windows 7 the SSID to which I have to connect to is bsnl2
where as when I boot to Ubuntu I can not connect to the wifi network you can see following snapshot the router does not even shows SSID bsnl2 (to which I have to connect) how ever Ubuntu detects other SSIDs in my neighbourhood
Note in the Snapshot of Ubuntu the SSID bsnl2 is missing.
Following are the snapshots from my routers admin control panel
I do not see the SSID bsnl2 in Ubuntu 12.04 to which I have to connect.What is wrong here in Ubuntu? What more output should I post? If you notice the first snapshot in Windows 7 I see bsnl2 SSD with full signal strength and the computer is able to connect to it.So signal strength is also full (I am sitting next to router), some thing needs to be covered in Ubuntu , there is another SSID "aashish suraj" which is of my neighbour and I do not have to connect to it, the fact that Ubuntu is able to see other SSIDs in my neighbour just shows that Ubuntu wifi adaptors are also working correctly. Is ADSL router blocking Ubuntu traffic,(I have uploaded all snapshots) The router is Iball ADSL2+ 150M wireless router
I am getting error while trying to install bind9 on ubuntu 12.04 I did
sudo aptitude install bind9

As per a requirement mentioned here the size of photos submitted should be between 20kb-50kb.
I have my scanned photos which have been cropped but the sizes are still ~139 kb.
If I reduce the pixels then the size of image goes less than 20kb in case one and less than 10 kb in case two.
I have to reduce the pixel size but the weight in bytes is also going down at the same time which is not allowed on my link.These are scanned photos in JPEG format.
The program I'm using is GIMP. If this is possible in GIMP then how do I do so?
If I can't do what I need in GIMP, is there any other program for the same?

I am trying to change permissions of a folder temporarily whose initial permissions are
user@ubuntu:/var/log$ ls -l squid*
squid3:
total 4
-rw-r----- 1 proxy proxy 0 Jan 16 14:43 access.log
-rw-r----- 1 proxy proxy 1359 Jan 16 14:43 cache.log
ls: cannot open directory squid-deb-proxy: Permission denied
to some thing following
user@ubuntu:/var/log$ sudo chmod -R 644 squid*
user@ubuntu:/var/log$ ls -l squid*
squid3:
ls: cannot access squid3/cache.log: Permission denied
ls: cannot access squid3/access.log: Permission denied
total 0
-????????? ? ? ? ? ? access.log
-????????? ? ? ? ? ? cache.log
squid-deb-proxy:
ls: cannot access squid-deb-proxy/store.log: Permission denied
ls: cannot access squid-deb-proxy/cache.log: Permission denied
ls: cannot access squid-deb-proxy/access.log: Permission denied
total 0
-????????? ? ? ? ? ? access.log
-????????? ? ? ? ? ? cache.log
-????????? ? ? ? ? ? store.log
You will notice after the change of permissions there are question marks everywhere. Why is this happening? I basically want to read the access log to see if squid-deb-proxy server is getting requests from client or not.
Dell USB hard disk not recognized in Ubuntu 11.10
When I insert the USB disk I do not see it in Nautilus (left hand pane) lsusb surprisingly fails to report any pciid:vendor id related to the removable usb inserted I checked when the disk was not attached
sudo lsusb > without_disk
and when disk was attached
sudo lsusb >with_disk
and
diff without_disk with_disk
there was no difference
and also checked dmesg
the only thing after inserting USB in the USB slot dmesg shows is
[ 69.540224] usb 2-1: new high speed USB device number 2 using ehci_hcd
[ 69.674505] scsi7 : uas
[ 69.675815] scsi 7:0:0:0: Direct-Access Dell USB Portable HDD 040D PQ: 0 ANSI: 6
I do not see any pci id: vendor id combination with lsusb for this 1 TB hard disk. The hard disk is working correctly on a Windows 7 system so problem here is with Ubuntu 11.10 only. What could be the issue? It is a new USB hard disk this one
I use byobu on sh and was doing some program which was left over for at least 24 hours, I had disconnected from the machine and logged in back after 24 hours is there a way I could see the messages which were on screen in this case.I am using Ubuntu 11.10
Using Ubuntu 11.10, I accidentally deleted a file that was approximately 700 MB. I tried to find it in the in following locations, but couldn't:
/home/user/.local/share
/home/user/ <-- there was no folder .Trash
/home/user/Desktop/ <-- there was no folder .Trash
So where did .Trash go in Ubuntu 11.10 onward? I use the Gnome environment.
I have made some changes in system settings, following suggestions by some users. However, this morning when I did a reboot I am unable to see English as my default language. My system is showing some Chinese characters which I do not understand.
All I wanted was to use Libre Office for a particular document in Hindi. What happened is that even Gmail is opening in Chinese. The system settings folder and others are also opening in Chinese. I am unable to use the system now.
I have uploaded the snapshots here: please have a look.
Notice that in the third snapshot the calendar and menu are appearing in Chinese.
I want the original US English menus and folder names back. I just wanted to type a document with Lohit Hindi font in Libre Office.
I use Ubuntu 11.10. I do not use Unity, only Gnome desktop. I installed gnome-session-fallback a long time back and have been using that ever since.
How do I get back to all English submenus and English folder names? I have a US English Keyboard and I use only US English. This thing which is now somehow set is unwanted.
I want to know if there exists any command line option or GUI tool (Ubuntu 11.10) so that I can measure the strength of wireless signal at a given location. I have a house where the wireless is not easily accessible at all corners I want to know at which corners or rooms the signal is weak.
I have a Dell Laptop on which wireless and every thing used to work perfectly.Today morning I noticed the suddenly there is no wireless at all. On a working condition I used to have folllowing
lspci -vnn

Kernel driver in use: wl
Kernel modules: wl, ssb
and
/etc/lsb-release
Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit
Module in use was wl.ko But now all of a sudden it fails to load any module for wireless.I have no idea why this happened.I am a SOHO user who does not have any thing other than web surfing and multimedia to do on this machine.I even booted from a Live USB but still wireless here failed to work (prior to installation same Live USB was able to detect the wifi card and wireless worked with this live USB). The driver in use was found on the LIVE cd at following location
pool/restricted/b/bcmwl/bcmwl-kernel-source_5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb
which used to show as additional drivers available for installation.Now this option even does not come when I boot with this Live USB.Since the installation of Ubuntu I have kept this Live USB as a backup. Can some one help here?
I am converting images to PDFs. I use following command
convert page.jpg page.pdf
and then combine multiple PDFs generated accordingly by command
pdftk 1.pdf 2.pdf output result.pdf
but I noticed loss of quality in the resulting PDF. Is there some way that I can retain the quality of the PDF i. e. I want the same quality in PDF as in the image.
I am not sure if this convert command is using the imagemagick library. Is there any better solution? I have 100s of PDFs, so I have to do it via command line.
This question is now obsolete since Chromium and its derivatives like Google Chrome use the more modern PPAPI Flash Player plug-in. It's built in to Chrome, but Chromium users need to rely on other solutions.
I being a developer want to use Flash version 10.1 or older on some of my Ubuntu machines. The problem is each time I run Google Chrome on this Lucid 64 bit machine (which is the only machine with me) I get a warning:
This flash plugin was blocked because it is out of date
As per instructions on these links:
then I tried at a command line:
google-chrome --allow-outdated-plugins
But I still got the same warning. Is there a way I can use with an old version of flash plugin?
UPDATE 1
As per below suggestion I edited the hex value of one of the file
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so
/usr/lib/iceape/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so
/usr/lib/libvisual-0.4/morph/morph_flash.so

/usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so
/usr/share/ubufox/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
/var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
which was
/usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
From 10.1 to 10.2 but there was no effect.How do I find out which file is google-chrome using from above?
UPDATE 2 Following from lsof output I found
var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
is the flash plugin which google chrome is using and there I could not find the string Flash 10.1 as mentioned in reply below.
I was looking at some book of system programming. It mentioned to use a variable TZ with a colon separated list which is used from /usr/share/zoneinfo. Probably the book is a bit outdated.
I checked on my Ubuntu system
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia$ file Oral
gives following output
Oral: timezone data, version 2, 14 gmt time flags, 14 std time flags, no leap seconds, 51 transition times, 14 abbreviation chars
I tried opening it in vi but the text could not be read.
I also tried reading /etc/localtime but here also it could not be read.
How can I basically read above type of files?
Where is TZ environment variable defined in Ubuntu 10.04?
Is there any way I can switch the application running in one workspace to another on command line? I use Ubuntu 10.04
UPDATE1
As per suggestions below
wmctrl -l
0x02200003 -1 bond Bottom Expanded Edge Panel
0x02200049 -1 bond Top Expanded Edge Panel
0x02000020 0 bond x-nautilus-desktop

now when I type
wmctrl -r :OMG! Ubuntu! | wmctrl - Chromium: -t 2 No window was specified.
So how to use it properly what is the mistake in above?
UPDATE2
I tried
wmctrl -r 0x05000072 -t 2
but the windows had no effect and they remained in same work space.
I need to create an http url at my laptop to have a Ubuntu installation in my laptop on a Xen environment. This is what the final thing will look like.
The host and client are both going to be my laptop. I Googled and came across apt-mirror and some other packages. I do not want to archive the entire 15 GB Ubuntu repositories on my machine.
It is not possible to use a CD, ISO, loop mounted disk. I have tried using netboot image on local machine which failed because if you are attempting to create a virtual machine on a hardware which does not support VT virt-manager installer necessarily needs a URL of this sort
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/
Any other option to create guest OS is simply grayed out.
My Ethernet connections do not work when I boot with Xen-4.0 and a pv-ops Dom0 kernel from Jeremy's tree. Which is where I have to do this work. So I have to create a URL structure which is similar to Ubuntu mirrors. So how can I do this in bare minimum so that at least the console boots and once the console comes I can do some work.
