I just installed Kazaam but I can't figure out how to stop this thing from recording. There is no button or dialog anywhere which I can press to stop recorind. Any ideas? I use 14.04 with gnome.
I have been looking around the net for solutions but I just cannot get rid of this error.

EDIT: This particular error disappeared upon changing the server to the main Ubuntu server. There were a few errors with 404 not found, and I removed those ppas from the software list. On a sidenote, I recently removed and purged qgis so don't know what its doing there.
In Windows I could turn on person hotspot on the iphone, connect the iPhone via USB and it would recognize the iPhone hotspot and connect to it.
On Ubuntu 13.10, I can see my files on connecting to the iPhone but cannot see the network. iPhone tells me that there are three tethering options: Wireless, USB and Bluetooth. I would like to be able to use either of the first two options.
How can I use the iPhone personal hotspot with Ubuntu 13.10? Help would be greatly appreciated.
I have ubuntu installed as the sole OS on a T420. Before this I had installed the #! distro (and Xubuntu before that) and wireless worked seamlessly on either. My home hotspot shows up but when I click on it tries for a while before disconnecting.
Before going into the problem further, I wanted to double check that I entered the wifi password for my home network correctly. I went to Edit Connections >> Wi-Fi Security and changed the key, but it is still not able to connect. So I think the password is definitely correct. I don't understand why it can't connect now.
I am not connected to the network and it seems I need build-essentials to get the drivers working. Best I can do is transfer the packages by thumb drive. What is the process for offline installations of the package, and where can I download it?
I have a desktop for which I am using an Asus N-10 USB Wireless Adapter. No driver software is needed I guess since I can see the available wifi networks. However, I am unable to connect as the "MAC Address" I gave to my service provider is incorrect. I provided the wlan HWaddr which I think is the equivalent of the MAC address but it is still not correct. A different Windows machine works fine so I know there are no mistakes. How can I find the correct number which is the equivalent of a MAC address.
On running Django, I frequently get the following error:
ImportError: Settings cannot be imported, because environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is undefined.
How do I set the environment variables correctly? I tried the solution here but did not have any success.
I have a 2008 white 13.3 inch macbook that now solely runs ubuntu. However, I cannot get wifi or cable to work on it. Regarding the cable, it atleast tries to connect but eventually disconnects from the wired network.

I tried installing b43-fwcutter and firmware-b43 but get errors. (I loaded them from a thumb drive and tried sudo dpkg -i). I cannot understand these instructions from the documentation, as I cannot locate the pool directory.
b43-fwcutter is located on the Ubuntu install media under ../pool/main/b/b43-fwcutter/ and patch is located under ../pool/main/p/patch/ or both in the official repositories online.
Note: In some versions (10.04 and 11.04 at least) there is not a /pool/main/p/patch/ If this file is missing then you don't need it. In this case you only need to install /pool/main/b/b43-fwcutter by following the instructions below.

I did a simple PS1 assignment
PS1="\e[0;31m[\W]\$ \e[m "
All I wanted to do was to change the prompt color and display only the relative path. However this messes up the CLI. For example, when browsing history with the ↑ it crops and overlaps the display. When i type a long command the cursor moves to the beginning of the screen overlapping with the prompt display itself. What have I done wrong?
Silly question, but given that I have upgraded and downgraded from Lucid to Natty and back, and after some months of anticipation, Lucid to Oneiric then back, would the LTS cycle of Lucid end in April?
I cannot enable desktop effects from system>preferences>appearance. There also seems to be a big problem with my graphics in general, because many times I get a blank screen on booting. I have to reboot in recovery mode, and choose the "run in failsafe graphic mode" or "resume normal boot" and do my work in a simple CLI interface.
My machine has these specs, with a Windows 7/Ubuntu 10.04 dual boot. I was waiting for Oneric hoping that it'll have updated compatibility with my hardware. However, seeing the beta1 preview I have chosen to stick with the LTS for the same reasons I downgraded from 11.04. I have all the basic functionality that I need for work, but graphics is a big issue (black screen on bootup, no desktop effects) to make it my stable primary OS.
As you can realize from my post, I am a Linux n00b. How can I fix my graphics issues? On a sidenote, sometimes even when idle, my laptop begins to make a lot of noise and then subsides. Is this related to my graphics problem, as this doesn't happen on my Windows boot. If so, I really need to fix it. I don't play any games or run Blu-ray or heavy video, etc. (Please tolerate my ignorance as I came to Ubuntu from a Mac background) I did some searching but I can't troubleshoot my problem.
I guess the following output is relevant

In Lucid some irritating pop up windows on chrome come up and are hidden beneath the top panel. I have to close the whole bunch of chrome windows to get rid of them. What is a better way?
I have a new Laptop on which I installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (dual boot with preinstalled Windows 7) since about a month. However there are three consistent problems that I have not been able to get rid of, no matter where I look on the internet. The primary reason is that it is difficult to explain and diagnose such problems when one of many things might be the issue.
Since I am sadly not an expert (yet), I would like to have some linux junkie have a look at my system and fix my problems. The problem is, I do not have a Linux Users Group that is active in my vicinity. I hardly know any expert. So are there such services or people that look into such problems at affordable rates? (My problems are: this, this (which regularly occurs now) and a slow + erratic wifi connection which becomes smooth and fast in Win7)
Or is it in the spirit of Linux to find a problem, learn about it, and fix it?

I have searched all over the internet and although there are many threads that discuss this, none has worked for me.
I have tried alsamixer and installing linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic, but neither worked. The Speakers just wont mute when I plug in the headphones. I had this problem in 11.04 and hoped it would be one of the headaches to go away when I downgraded to Lucid Lynx.

This is a rather basic question, when I install something from the Ubuntu Software Center, I have to look around a bit to find it. For example, I just installed but I cannot locate it. For some programs its obvious, for example Dropbox and Skype can be found in Applications>Internet> but for some others I am pretty clueless.
I just switched from Unity to gnome in Ubuntu 11.04, as it was a bit buggy. One thing I am beginning to miss though, is the search functionality which was quiet convenient.
Whatever I try to run, I get the error:
The command could not be located because '/usr/bin' is not included in the PATH environment variable.
I had some modification in my .bashrc file but then removed the two additional lines afterwards. However somehow the PATH variable seems to have been destroyed.
I installed sage on ubuntu but nothing on the command line executes. The relevant portion in the long error message is:
ImportError: libgfortran.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Error importing ipy_profile_sage - perhaps you should run %upgrade?
WARNING: Loading of ipy_profile_sage failed.
I tried sudo apt-get install gfortran and sudo apt-get install libgfortran.so.3
But neither seem to work. I tried the Ubuntu Software Center GUI but it seems broken as it keeps showing the rotating wait prompt even though my net is working. I'm a bit stuck. Thanks.
I just ran a program and wish to know how much time it took to execute it. How do I do it?
I used to work on the Mac terminal before and I used:
open file2open.pdf
and the PDF file would be opened on preview or whatever my default viewer was. When I use it in the terminal in Ubuntu I get this error message:
Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console
I just downloaded Ubuntu 11.04 and as far as I can remember, there was the option of opening multiple terminals in tabs in Ubuntu. I cannot discover this feature in 11.04. Also, as a general query, suppose I open emacs from the terminal, then I wouldn't be able to do anything else on that terminal as long as I have emacs running, so what is a good way to multi-task?
