After I upgraded to Xubuntu 12.04 from 11.10, I noticed skype was uninstalled, so I reinstalled it with aptitude. Now if I install skype I don't have sound any more in my mp4 clips.
If I uninstall skype I have sound again in my mp4 clips, unless I pause the clip and resume, then the sound is gone again.
I tested this on parole and vlc. Is there a fix or is it just a bug?
At the moment I'm working at a company and the problem is they allow SSH on wifi but not on their wired network. At the moment I push everything through a vpn, but that gives overhead on an already slow network.
I was wondering how I could make all my traffic go through my eth0 but make my ssh connection use wlan0 instead of eth0.
It's important all other traffic goes through eth0 as the wifi here is extremely slow, but just fast enough for a simple shell.
When I plug in my laptop (Asus EEE pc with brazos) it can't play a movie without lagging. When I unplug my laptop from the power socket, the lag goes away.
I'm a bit baffled by this because I expected this behavior to be the other way around.
I'm on the latest Xubuntu. Is there a place where I can extensively check the powerplans, as the default power manager is quite poor.
I've got an NTFS drive mounted and on I/O it generates huge amounts of load. I'm now running my CPU (amd fusion dual core) at 100%... both.
My load average is 3.47 at the moment. Anyone an idea to lower this load ? (apart from using ext4 ;) )
Every time I want to enable my webcam or microphone in my browser, the regular flash screen pops up and I need click allow or deny.
However I can not click allow or deny, it is not responding to my clicks.
Does anyone know a fix ?
I have a htpc / homeserver (apache2, mysql for some website testing) and I also use it as a htpc. My current setup is, it is in my bedroom, the OS is installed on a 2 TB drive, but at night the OS starts writing or reading some stuff from the disk. It is quite annoying as it does not spin down completely and makes noise, which irritates me :p.
I was thinking of putting the OS on a usb drive or an SSD. But what would be the best option? Is getting the SSD the best option?
I'd like some pro's and con's. :)
I just built an HTPC / homeserver, I used ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx and combined it with xbmc.
The hardware I'm using is Asus e35m pro (embedded low voltage cpu and HD6310 gpu).
However if I run 1080p video footage, everything starts to stutter. I checked with htop from an ssh connection and noticed one of the cores goes into 100% load.
I was wondering why it does not use the GPU instead ? (I have installed proprietary drivers from ATI). Do I have to change settings ?
Is it XBMC related, ubuntu related or does ATI just not support hardware video decoding on their GPU on linux ?
I set the wrong keyboard layout while installing ubuntu and now it reverts back to English every time I reboot.
I heard this is normal behaviour, but I want to change the default layout from English the German. I found that I have to edit etc/X11/xorg.conf, BUT that file does not exist on 11.04.
Can someone guide me to the file that initiates this ?
