I am running a wubi installation of ubuntu 11.10 64 bit and every hour or so there is a random burst of activity where the CPU is at 100% and I have trouble just browsing on firefox. This can last from a minute to five minutes and makes my CPU really hot. I took a htop screenshot when one of these bursts happened and it looks like the culprit is mount.
So, what the hell is mount doing that needs so much CPU attention and how do I stop it?
There was a folder on my desktop, and I dragged and dropped it onto the trash icon on the bottom right of the screen to see if the folder would be deleted.
It got deleted.
But when I opened up the trash folder by clicking on that icon, the folder I had deleted was not there. I then clicked on the properties of the trash folder and it said that there are 113 items in the trash while at the bottom of the window it says there is 0 items in the trash.
I tried viewing hidden folders but nothing showed up. I also tried to open it as root but nothing showed up again.
So does anyone know how I can view the 113 items in the trash?
The indicator applet and the indicator applet session are not showing anything for some reason. Last time I was on ubuntu they were working fine.
Does anyone know why this might happen?
The last time I was on Ubuntu, I had uninstalled unity, would that have anything to do with this?
I have installed ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop using wubi. My laptop also has vista installed. Would it be possible to somehow run ubuntu (virtually?) while windows is running without having to restart the laptop?
I would really like to play m3u8 files (more specifically, http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/NTV-Public-IPS.m3u8) but when I try to run it on VLC player, it goes on to multiple .ts files with a very annoying gap between the stream.
Is there any way I can play this stream on ubuntu just as if I were playing it on an iphone (which is what the stream is for).
