I have Xubuntu running on an HP EliteBook i5 with 8 GB of RAM.

$ uname -a 
Linux HP-EliteBook-8470p 3.5.0-37-generic #58~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 10
17:48:11 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Normally I have to run Vagrant (VirtualBox), Firefox (15 to 20 tabs) and NetBeans. Vagrant normally takes 1 GB, Firefox almost takes on 1 GB and it's the same for NetBeans.

This still doesn't explain why my free memory is so low. I open htop and I see multiple instances of X.

Anyone know what the problem might be?

I just installed a fresh copy of ubuntu destop 10.10 on my (old) Acer laptop. I downloaded Synergy and Google-Earth's deb file and it opened with the Ubuntu Software Center.

Now in the applications menu I see a google earth and a synergy option, but they don't do anything. Nothing opens.

Did I do something wrong? Was there something I needed to do?

Thanks

Hey! I have ubuntu server 10.10. I am trying to install gui. I have installed these packages: xserver-xorg xinit

I tried installing gnome but I always get this error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies: gnome : Depends: gnome-desktop-environment (>= 1:2.28+1ubuntu4) but it is not going to be installed Depends: epiphany-extensions but it is not going to be installed

I can't seem to find the epiphany-extensions. This is my source.list file:

What can I do to correct this? How can I find a source url that has the package I need??

I have this pc with kubuntu and it gets really slow when I run programs like eclipse or talend. I know those two are memory hogs but I have 6gb ddr3 (it does not say in the list but it's ddr3) and sometimes it's not all occupied and I the computer really slows down.

Also I think there is a problem with apache solr and kubuntu. When I run apache solr, apache uses 5gb of ram. In ubuntu server (with less memory and less cpu power) the same solr queries only make apache take up a few hundred mbs.

Here is the hardware list given by lshw, please tell me if any component is incompatibel with ubuntu: http://pastebin.ca/1995800 (couldn't post it here because it was huge)

Thanks

EDIT:

java version "1.6.0_20" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.1) (6b20-1.9.1-1ubuntu3) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0-b16, mixed mode)

I am using this java version and it's the same as in my ubuntu server machine which runs apache and solr without a problem.

I have added these lines in my 000-default virtual host file:

Alias /antoniocs/project "/home/antoniocs/www/project"
<Directory "/home/antoniocs/www/project">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
</Directory>

/home/antoniocs/www/project Contains a drupal website

If I go to:

localhost/antoniocs/project

This works out fine. I see everything perfectly. But when I try to click on a link that takes me, for example, to:

localhost/antoniocs/project/category

I get this error:

Not Found

The requested URL /home/antoniocs/www/project/index.php was not found on this server.

Is this not processing the .htaccess that is in the project folder? What am I doing wrong???

NOTE: I also find it strange that it's giving me a file path and not an url path

Running on Apache 2.2.16 (with mod rewrite) Ubuntu 10.10 php 5.3.3-1ubuntu9.1

EXTRA NOTE: For those that don't know drupals htaccess, it redirects everything to index.php?q=$1

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

Hey! I am having this really strange problem. I can't convert a file to utf8 it's always in us-ascii.

I have tried this:

iconv --verbose --output=test2 -t UTF-8 test

(I have also specified the -f with iso-8859-1 and us-ascii) and when I do

file --mime-encoding test2

I get us-ascii The file contains some html and php. I really don't understand this. I have tried using notepad++ (I am sharing this folder to a win7 pc). I set the encoding to utf8 without bom, the file seems to change (the icon turns red) but when I save and check it continues to do be us-ascii.

I have checked the $LANG and it outputs en_US.UTF-8 (should I change something in the locales? I would prefer this not to anything country specific)

I have also tried recode which also didn't work.

Note: Some files are being created in utf8 (I am using eclipse and have set the project properties to encode in utf8) but for some strange reason some are not being correctly encoded. Again their contents are html and php.

Please someone help me out. I am trying to show my site in utf8 and some parts are getting messed up because of this!

Thanks!

I used the sshfs app to mount a remote folder. The problem now is that I can't seem to share it. I can see all of it's contents when I directly do an ls and I also see it in the mount list when I run the mount command.

I mounted the folder on a folder I had shared (using samba) which I could see in my windows explorer (windows 7 64bit). I couldn't see the mounted folder after I mounted when I umount I can see it again.

I tried sharing the folder directly in the smb conf but it didn't do anything.

Can anyone help me out please?

EDIT:

I have done what JanC told me and I do see it know in the explorer window the only problem is I can't access it. It says I don't have permissions. Anyone?

I was having problems connecting to the internet either by wireless or wired connection. I keep getting an icon in the systray that has a tooltip that says "unmanaged" and when I click on it I get a "Network management disabled".

I googled and found the command:

sudo dhclient eth0

Which finally enabled my network and I have net. The problem is I still get the icon with the some word "unmanaged"

Can anyone help me out? I just want to know what is happening and why did I had to go to the command line to enable my network.

I had to put the computer in sleep mode and then it wouldn't wake up, so I rebooted the machine. The network manager problems started again, this time the file mentioned by maco had the value set to true and it still wouldn't work.

Anyone know how I can make this permanently work? I did a

sudo init 0

And when I booted the machine at a later time I had the network manager enabled. Have no clue why.

I am using dolphin as my file manager and when I download something via firefox, I right click the download dialog and choose "open folder", I always get nautilus.

Why doesn't firefox open the folder with dolphin? Thanks

Note: I tried adding the tag "dolphin" but because of my low rep I can't create new tags :(
