How can i convert my Ubuntu 15.10 64 bit Vanilla Unity installation to Ubuntu GNOME Edition. Is it just installing Gnome Shell and uninstalling Unity. However i dont think this will be enough. Am I right, and if so, how can i convert to Ubuntu Gnome Edition?
I have had some problems with my internet connection. After installing SonicWall Netextender and connection to my Office VPN and disconnecting again i do not have internet access.
I can ping 8.8.8.8 and other IP-adresses, so it actually just seems to be a DNS problem, but when i connect to Netextender VPN again (this time i have to use IP-adress) i can browse via VPN again...
I have tried to uninstall netextender but that does not solve the problem.. Can you help me?
I am using my Rasberry Pi as a print server using Samba. I have followed this tutorial, but i cannot print from my ubuntu laptop. I have added it as Windows Printer via Samba. But i get the NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED error when i try to print. If i add credentials when i add the printer (i use my raspberry pi username and password (which should be added to the right group)) i get: "Not authorized, The password may be incorrect."
I know i could just as well post this in a raspberry pi forum, but since the problem is only with Linux/Ubuntu i thought i would post it here...
I am researching OpenStack Quantum with Open vSwitch, and am wondering if someone can answer this question for me:
When should I choose GRE or VLAN for the networking and what pros and cons will i have in using one of them compared to the other?
I will appreciate if someone could introduce me to LXC and tell me how to get started with this technology? In which cases does it make sense to use, and in which should i stay away from it?
I am running a virtual (kvm) MAAS/juju setup where most of the MAAS nodes (including MAAS master) are virtual, but some are also physical nodes. The physical Dell 1950 nodes configures automatically for boot in MAAS, so when i deploy via Juju they power on automatically. My problem lies in trying to set up boot for virtual systems. I see the posibility in the MAAS for power type. I can choose virsh. But i need to fill in information i do not know. What should i fill in for Driver and Power ID?
Anyone has experience with that?
I am messing around trying to find the best graphics solution for my Laptop with Optimus Nvidia. (ASUS K55VD)
I've got bumblebeed running and i use optirun when i want to improve graphics performance. The only problem is that i dont know if it is really working.
When i execute eg. glxgears i get the following performance results:
normal glxgears on intel graphics: arround 60 FPS
optirun glxgears on nvidia graphics: arround 1300 FPS
Well this looks fine i guess..
My wondering starts when i execute with vblank_mode=0 in front of both the commands:
vblank_mode=0 glxgears gives: arround 5000 FPS
vblank_mode=0 optirun glxgears gives: around 1400 PFS
Why am i getting such weird results?
I am using raring dailies, and one thing that my eyes liked was the lockscreen. I really liked the clock. A simple thing, but still really good?
Now it is suddenly gone. Did they really remove it from raring?
Following the tutorial on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuCloudInfrastructure i've set up a small OpenStack environment on juju and MAAS. One problem is that it only runs essex. To me it seems strange since grizzly is coming soon.
Watching this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcwqvAFBQVg&t=18m47s seeing how easy Shuttleworth updated his essex to folsom i tried that approach, but that just made config errors. So how is the approach - how can i update it easily? And which charms to use?
Yesterday i was trying to minimize the lag when streaming music from my Ubuntu 12.10 laptop to my pulseaudio server on my raspberry pi, by installing pulseaudio 3.0 on the raspberry pi and then again on my 12.10 laptop. Unfortunately i did not see what i uninstalled when i installed pulseaudio client 3.0 via 13.04 repository, and after the install and reboot i am missing my sound menu from systray and when i click on sound in gnome control center nothing happens. What did i uninstall that i should not have?
I have been messing around with openstack for a little time, setting up a test environment. One thing i never found out was how to store my instances on cinder...
Does anyone here know how i can store all my instances on cinder instead of the compute host...?
Well the headline basically says it all.
I have a small testing environment running, and this question pops up. Not all charms need a whole node for them selves. Is it possible for me to deploy both mysql and wordpress charm on one machine?
If yes, how do i do that. And yes, i have been looking around and also found something called subordinate services which could look like a solution to that, but i am not sure and defiantly not sure how to set that up..
Anyone who can help me here?
I could not find one topic on HSTS here on askubuntu.com yet so here it comes:
I want to setup HSTS so that my webserver will force the browsers to use HTTPS.
Does anyone know how to set this up for apache2 in a proper way?

I am going to do a reinstall of Ubuntu on my Laptop this holiday. I have an ASUS UL30VT, with no flash drive, and i just wondered. I never use my card-reader for anything, but i have a 32GB SD-card that i do not use really. I was then wondering if installing Ubuntu on that SD-card will improve my performance much? Would it be like SSD
I'm installing Ubuntu on my friends laptop. An LG R400 with ATI Mobility Radeon X2300 graphics drivers. On Windows Vista which runs pretty slow the HD flash videos 1080p on Youtube vimeo and other places work with no problems, but on Ubuntu i can not really play videos above 480p Above that they are lagging. That annoys me because i know he will use them, and how am i supposed to convince him that Ubuntu is the way to go if it can not play the videos that windows vista can? Unity 3d is working fine so i think the graphics drivers is working, and when i download the hd videos and play as mp4 in vlc they also work fine.
lspci -nn | grep VGA shows the following:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Mobility Radeon X2300
Hope that someone can help me convince my friend that Ubuntu is rocking!
I installed Ubuntu 12.04. In the good old days where customizing your Ubuntu had no limits it was no big deal to change the background of the panel to an image of your choice.
How can i change the panel of my Adwaita Cupertino Unity L theme?
Can anyone help me out here?
I've tried to make the panel transparent. That really did not look very well. Its like the autohide of the application menu is just going black when not hovering the menu. So its under the White Title of the window
I have finally managed to find a solution to make my wifi stable in ubuntu 10.10. I have had problems with my ASUS ul30vt and the Atheros AR9285 but by installing the latest compat-wireless from yesterday my internet is finally stable.
I seriously thought of installing win7 again. But one minor problem i have is that the wifi is not turned on automatically from startup so everytime i startup i have to go to terminal and sudo modprobe ath9k and then the wireless turns on. I have tried to make that command in startup applications but that does not work. Can i make a script or something that will turn it on from startup, or is there an other simple solution?
On my ASUS ul30vt with Maverick installed I have the problem that the webcam shows the picture flipped. What can I do to make it normal?
