Curious Apprentice's questions

Many times nautilus crashes because of various reasons. When nautilus crash, it crashes with conky. The only way to get back conky and active desktop is to start nautilus and conky from terminal.

How can I make nautilus and conky re-start automatically whenever a crash occurs ?

Some peoples are advising to use Upstart. But the upstart cook-book is too heavy for me, as Im a Windows user and Im not accustomed of cli/.conf things.

If anyone can give me exactly what I need to change then it would be a great help. In the mean while I will do try to figure out how to make things work using upstart daemon.

I need a cadence-like application to switch between jack and pulse audio. Can I install cadence on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Not Ubuntu Studio or Dream Studio).

Is it going to work ? I already installed : QJackCTL, Pulsejack module etc.

Where I can found a ready-made Cinelerra 4.4 .deb package to install ? Im not an expert to compile everything and resolving all dependencies on my own.

Here is a screen-shot of what I want to resize. On Ubuntu 11.10, this kind of dialogue were little short by length. That looked good. Is there a way to do so by digging in the system files or by changing configs for compiz?

Im seeing this error while trying to open phpmyadmin (http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin) :

`New XAMPP security concept:

Edit:

I have commented out this code in "httpd-xampp.conf"., but it has introduced a new problem.

Today I was installing phpmyadmin on Ubuntu 12.04 and after a while a dialogue popped up stating what server I want to use; apache2 or httpd

Are these, two different kinds of server?

When I listen to music or play any video on firefox the audio stays very low despite of changing all the sound options to its maximum value in Gnome Alsa Mixer.

I have seen that when I use audacious with the Equalizer ON, the sound goes louder, but without that sound is very unsatisfactory.

I want to test each and every project type available on mono. But due to some package dependencies Im unable to run any of "Hello World" project. I have less idea what libraries I need for what.

Few days back I have installed gtk-sharp2 but still while running an VB.net Gtk# or C# Gtk# Im getting compilation errors that cli.Gtk does not exist.

Is there a way through which I can solve all dependencies by one click ?! I atleast once want to try learning linux app programming. Without the proper tools it is not possible. Please help :)

Mono Develop Version : 2.8.6.3 Ubuntu 12.04 32 Bit

I recently installed Fedora and Ubuntu 12.04. Both have different Swap Partition. Fedora using its own Swap space. But Ubuntu using both two swap partitions. I want to stop that. I want Ubuntu 12 to use its own Swap Partition.

• sda9 - Ubuntu (/)

• sda11 - Swap (4.9 GB)

• sda10 - Fedora (/)

• sda12 - Swap (4.9 GB)

All are logical partitions.

Which method is more preferable in which situation ? Which process poses less stress over the cpu ?

Here are the screen-shots of what I have done so far using GParted.

Before editing the File system:

After editing the File System:

File system view from Windows 7 x64.

Now my question is ,should I install Ubuntu 12.04 in this partition or shrink the C: drive (sda1) to free up some space and install Ubuntu there ?

Is there any advantage of installing Ubuntu on a Primary drive or is there any disadvantage of installing Ubuntu on a Logical Drive ?

I dont like command line. Is there a Graphical Control Panel to start/stop apache2 ? and MySQL ?

I want to be sure whether it going to break something like my default Unity desktop or not. I once tried KDE on Ubuntu and it broke the whole theme. I had to reinstall Ubuntu that time.

I dont want that to happen again.

I have found this which explains how I can Install XFCE or other DEs Available for Ubuntu 11.10.

How are typical users expected to read the documentation in /usr/share/doc?

A way to search and view those docs using web browser is by Installing "dwww" but this needs apache2.2 to run in the back all the time.(It was creating port conflicts and I could not use XAMPP server without removing it.)

Is there any second alternative to view and search these ?

Can I just delete the whole "doc" folder ? Either I want to use them or delete.

How I can uninstall and reinstall moonlight?

Few days back I have installed ecryptfs, created a private directory using it. Now my Ubuntu login became super slow. I have tried removing ecryptfs from Synaptic. I found It, it can not be deleted that way. Somewhere I have read about this command

ecryptfs-setup-private --undo

But this command displays a rather confusing list of commands on terminal. I don't want to mess up my installation, neither want to loose my administrator account.

Now my question is, how can I safely remove /home/user/Private (.Private) and remove ecryptfs encryption ?

I see a small box and a cross sign in the middle of that in place of images. Anyone having the same issue ?!

I didn't install apache. I also have ssh installed.

Do apache and ssh come by default with Ubuntu?

I do have LAMPP but I thought I had kept it disabled. Yet, I can see an apache initial page that shows that it's working.

I have added these lines to the hosts file:

127.0.0.1 localhost adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe.com

It works perfectly on windows. But in Ubuntu 11.10 when I try to access it using Firefox the website is opening.

Google chrome though supporting /etc/hosts configuration. Google chrome is displaying:

"It works! This is the default web page for this server. The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet."
