The snap-store process is intermittently using hundreds of megabytes of RAM.
Is this normal? Is there a solution?
The title explains pretty much all I need to do. I need a downgrade from tk8.6 to tk8.5 on 14.04.
There is some niche scientific python based software that I need to use, however it is incompatible with tk8.6 and is compatible with tk8.5; download available here. Ideally I would like a method that poses minimal risk to my system.
Here are some details that might be useful.
me@James:~$ whereis tk
tk: /usr/lib/tk8.6 /usr/include/tk
I used 'apt-get install -f' when prompted by the updater. Normally this should have fixed the problem, however in my case it seems to have damaged the system quite a lot. Now all my applications are deleted permanently and those that I have reinstalled have odd GUIs. For example the software centre looks like the image below.
This extends to the login screen and a multitude of other applications.
Is it possible that this happened because of an interrupted internet connection when updating, or something else? Is there a quick fix, or do I have to manually reinstall every application?
When installing Ubuntu GNOME 13.04 from an ISO in Parallels, I get the following error:
BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s!
This is shortly followed by another message:
INFO: rcu_sched self detected stall on CPU
Is this error the result of a problem with the Ubuntu disc image or something else? How can it be fixed?
Note I have checked the integrity of the disc image and checked the disks for defects. No problems were detected.
I was interested to find out if Canonical, the producers of Ubuntu, have other financial dealings for integrated features of their operating system, other than the controversial Amazon search feature?
How else is funding for Ubuntu achieved?
I use a few email accounts with one dedicated to junk and spam. Thunderbird is auto tagging them as spam/junk, but still displays them as unread mail. It's not wrong, but it makes the pop up and unread counter kind of useless as I don't know how much new mail I actually have!
I want Thunderbird to not count junk mail as unread messages and not to notify me of them.
Ubuntu 12.10, Thunderbird 17.0.
After typing my details in and clicking login Opera takes me to an error page. This doesn't happen in Chrome, Firefox or Opera on other OSs.
The page shows the error: Internal communication error. It then offers to search for https://www.facebook.com/login.php?login_attempt=1
Regenerating the .Opera folder does not fix the problem.
I need a way of reseting darktable to its factory settings.
With shotwell it is simply a case of deleting the home directory for shotwell, but there doesn't appear to be one for DT under the Darktable name.
I am using a Radon HD6850 and just bought the indi bundle. Torchlight is missing all face textures (and face textures only). I have had problems with shaders before (graphic would be displayed as black), but what I am seeing now is a simple removal of the texture, I can see through the head. The fps is fine on full graphics so it doesn't seem to be too much of a driver issue (I am using the drivers that came with ubuntu). I downloaded the game through the USC. Has anyone had this issue and managed to fix it?
Running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Is there a way to give shotwell a factory reset without deleting any of the original photos.
I made a big mess of importing the wrong library followed by the right library and now have 30,000 photos a lot of which are duplicate and rather than sifting through them all I would have thought it easier to start again.
Reinstalling shotwell does not work. Emptying the photos to the trash deletes the original file. Anything else I can do? Thanks
I am using 12.04.
I am aware that I can share my wired internet connection to other devices wirelessly, but what I need now is a little more complex. I am limited to one device over the wifi but would like my macbook to have internet as well. It's in another room so ethernet is not really an option. I really would like to share the wireless from my ubuntu (it's on more) to other wireless devices.
After some light googling I can't find anything even remotely useful as they all involve an ethernet cable at some point. Has anyone here had any luck with anything similar?
I am running 12.04 LTS just for reference and have a Belkin G wireless USB device. If anyone knows a possible procedure I can find out about the chipset etc. if needed. I understand there may be hardware limitations.
