I'm in directory ~/a which is a symbolic link to ~/b/c. My prompt looks like:
~/a$
But I hope to cd to ~/b/c.
~/a$ cd .
~/a$
It doesn't work. What's the right way?
I have installed these packages:
apt-get install xvfb xfonts-base xfonts-75dpi xfonts-100dpi firefox
But in my Firefox in Xvfb on Ubuntu Server, the Chinese characters look like:
How to install proper fonts for my Xvfb?
EDIT: I have also installed xfonts-intl-chinese but it doesn't help.
It looks as figure above. I right-click on the blank of topbar, but no any menu or configuration appears.
In system settings -> power, I have turned 'Show battery status on menu bar' on('When battery presents). But nothing happens.
I use ubuntu to deal with daily job. Now I buy a new laptop, and I want to migrate my whole system(programs, packages, data, settings, etc) to the new machine.
I know I can copy my home folder to new machine and I will get (almost) all data and settings. But is there a safe way to copy the whole system? Or it's a bad idea?
if I'm in a very deep directory a/b/c/d/e/f/g/h/i/j and want to come back a/b/c, I have to use ../../../../../../../.
Is there command I can pass through a number, e.g. cd up 7, to speed this operation up?
I set my system input method to gcin with im-switcher.
But when I use some GNOME based application, such as gedit and gnome-terminal, my default input method is still Simple(i.e. I can type only English letter).
But in other applications, like Chrome, I can use gcin and everything works well.
Why does GNOME have a different input method setting? And how can I change it?
I can use a simple C program to generate 2GB+ file. But when I try to download a 3GB file through browser, it stops at 2GB.
I tried Chrome, Firefox and Opera. No one can download the file of which size is bigger than 2GB. What am I supposed to do?
(my file system is ext4)
I normally use this command to restart my daemons(e.g. vsftpd):
$sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart
Early today I noticed it said that I can try restart(8) utility. I did:
$sudo restart vsftpd
It worked. But when I tried to restart my apache2:
$sudo restart apache2
> restart: Unknown job: apache2
Why are they different? Of course I can restart apache2 by /etc/init.d/apache2
I upgraded from 10.10. Then everything worked well except very important one -- my terminal.
I try to open my terminal, but no any window popup. I press alt+tab and the windows switcher appears in which there is the terminal. I switch to it, however, nothing happens.
I can see the word terminal in my top bar. When I move cursor on it I see the file edit view and so on. But they are useless unless I can find my terminal window.
I have no problem with chrome, firefox, eclipse, ubuntu software center, pidgin and many more applications. But without terminal, I'm using a disabled linux.
