I noticed that Ubuntu 19.10 shows app status, a.k.a. tray icons, in the top right corner, which I don't see in a regular GNOME desktop. What does Ubuntu use for those?
I am trying to get a domain xxx.yy into the /etc/resolv.conf. Before, there are only nameserver entries. I add the domain to the previously empty /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base. After running resolvconf -u, /etc/resolv.conf contains a search xxx.yy instead of the domain xxx.yy. Why does this happen?
I have three drives in my machine, one SSD with 32GB and two 1TB drives, attached to an Intel 82801JI (ICH10) SATA AHCI Controller. The problem is, that I can access only one of the 1TB drives when the other one is not plugged in. When it is plugged in I see the drives as sda and sdb, but there seem to be no partitions. Looking at these drives with cfdisk, the partitions are there, though.
Both of the 1TB drives are carrying a partition, being part of a software RAID1, created with mdadm.
Before I threw the SSD into the mix, the other two have been working fine.
Any hints?

Securely automount encrypted drive at user login
I finally managed to figure out how to mount an ecryptfs encrypted directory (my old home directory)
I would like to have it mounted automatically when I login, the same way my home directory gets mounted.
I installed a fresh Ubuntu 10.10 onto a new hard drive and want to mount the old home directory to a subdirectory of my new (also encrypted) home directory.
I tried this with sudo mount -t ecryptfs /mnt/oldhome/me/ /home/me/oldhome, with /mnt/oldhome being the /home partition of the old system.
Afterwards ~/oldhome contains a desktop link file (Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop) linking to ecryptfs-mount-private and a README.txt saying I should run ecryptfs-mount-private. I do so, but as I don't know what is supposed to happen, I can't tell if it happens and if it brings me closer to accessing my old home.
Any hints?
update
I was able to mount my old encrypted home with the help of this script. Though, looking into it with ls, I get alot of errors like this:
ls: cannot access /mnt/oldme/some_file: No such file or directory
Other information ls -l should show, is replaced by question marks.
update 2
I mounted the old system to /mnt/oldroot and mount /dev, /sys, /proc and the old home partition into. Then I chrooted into /mnt/oldroot, su - me and ecryptfs-mount-private. Asked for the passphrase I put it in and got:
Error: Unwrapping passphrase and inserting into the user session keyring failed [-5]
Info: Check the system log for more information from libecryptfs
ERROR: Your passphrase is incorrect
ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase gives me the exact same passphrase I used, though.
I have 3 hard drives in my machine. Two of them are 1TB drives with my old home partition on a software RAID1. I installed an SSD as a 3rd drive with a fresh Ubuntu 10.10 currently running. I now try to mount my old home partition, which gives me an error:
$ mount -t reiserfs /dev/sda5 /mnt/oldhome
mount: special device /dev/sda5 does not exist
fdisk shows me that all partitions are there. /dev has sda and sdb in it, but not the partitions on them.
Any ideas?
edit:
blkid shows me the following:
/dev/sda: TYPE="isw_raid_member"
/dev/sdb: TYPE="isw_raid_member"
/dev/mapper/isw_eahifbiigj_datadump1: UUID="247dbff9-236f-4fa7-a0d4-1f060d973a3e" TYPE="reiserfs"
/dev/sdc1: UUID="6ba699d7-caaa-4a87-9deb-e7aca73984de" TYPE="ext4"
I can mount the third one, which contains some orphaned partition, living on sda1.
