I've got a Macbook Air and am trying out ubuntu on it.
One thing that is really annoying is the behavior of the trackpad. Macs have those click-pads, where you have to press down the whole trackpad for a click.
This works, but ubuntu doesn't ignore the movement while clicking. This leads to moving the mouse pointer a few pixels every time I try to click, which is really annoying.
Is there a setting to make ubuntu ignore movement while clicking?
My fonts are horribly unkerned in LibreOffice. Example:
Here's a comparison, LibreOffice on top and Inkscape below.
As you can see, LibreOffice messes up the kerning. The font is Ubuntu, 10pt in LibreOffice and Ubuntu, 13px in Inkscape.
The kerning problem gets less if I increase the font-size btw.
Is there a switch for activating the kerning in LibreOffice or is this a known problem?
In Unity 3D if I click on an application in the launcher all windows of that application get to the front.
If I do the same in Unity 2D only last active one used gets shown. Is there a way to enable the same behaviour as in Unity 3d?
My déjà dup backup seems to be corrupted, at least it tells me on every backup that there's a CRC error and aborts the backup.
Now I think with a full backup I could fix this, but I haven't found a way to do that easily.
So, is there a setting in déjà dup I could use or some simple steps with duplicity (Considering that I want it to respect my déjà dup settings.)?
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on my server and want to install netatalk 2.2. There is a version available in the PPA of Stefano Rivera.
Now it happens that I've also got smartmontools installed for which he supplies a new version as well, but I'd really like to only upgrade netatalk.
I've tried adding the file /etc/apt/preferences.d/stefanor:
Package: *
Pin: o=LP-PPA-stefanor
Pin-Priority: 50
but this hasn't changed anything.
How can I depriorize a repository and install just one piece of software from it?
In my case I've got lucid installed on my server but want to install a newer saned version.
There is one in the maverick and lucid repositories, how would I add this repository for just that one package?
What should I look for when doing this?
How can I do this without reinstalling the rest of the files as well?
There is the mounted event in upstart, but it is emitted only when the mountall daemon mounts the devices found in /etc/fstab at startup.
Are there any events that get emitted, when I mount a device afterwards manually using the mount command or by calling an API?
If not, what would be a suitable workaround?
Is there a setting or a package to enable flick to scroll on Ubuntu?
I'd like to use this with my Apple Magic mouse and the two-finger scroll feature of my trackpad.
My Mac mini doesn't boot without a monitor connected to it. As I've read in various forums on the internet, Mac OS X lets the Mac Mini boot without an attached monitor if SSH is turned on. Obviously, there's a setting in the EFI somewhere.
Is it possible to apply this setting in Linux as well?
I'm puzzled.
As far as I understand it, the user folder /home/user is encrypted with the users password. Connecting through smb to the computer does somehow decrypt the user's folder. How is this done? SMB doesn't transfer the password normally.
Also, I'm trying to achieve something similar using pam_mount, but there are some limitations. What software does ubuntu use to mount its encrypted file systems?
Here's the output of top:
top - 23:30:49 up 2:18, 1 user, load average: 4.36, 4.36, 4.39 Tasks: 105 total, 2 running, 103 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 3.6%us, 8.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 73.4%id, 9.0%wa, 1.1%hi, 4.9%si, 0.0%st Mem: 2029820k total, 1979312k used, 50508k free, 6828k buffers Swap: 5947384k total, 0k used, 5947384k free, 1855304k cached
How can the load average be high while the CPU load is low.
How is load average calculated?
I've just restarted my computer which was building up a RAID5 for the first time. This of course meant that my computer had to rebuild the whole thing from ground up.
Before I restarted the computer I've had already set up a file system, which cannot be found anymore.
So: Does building up the RAID (again) overwrite any information placed on the volume?
I've installed a RAID5 using mdadm yesterday. Since then it has been rebuilding.
I just restarted my computer and it started rebuilding the RAID from scratch. (Had 60% before.) Is this normal or are there any settings missing?
The only thing I did besides creating the RAID, was adding this line to /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf:
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid5 num-devices=3 UUID=bce3de1f:...:466da02f
I haven't been able to find information about Ubuntu 11.04. Is it already decided what's going to go into Natty Narwhal?
