Reading the announcement here , i didn't understood the part here
The Ubuntu Cloud Archive also makes its debut - essentially an online software repository from which administrators can download the latest versions of OpenStack for use with the latest long-term support (LTS) release of Ubuntu.
What exactly does it mean and where is it deployed or used.
I am on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bits
I accidentally deleted a NTFS 255 GB partition using Gparted, and yes it contains LOTS of important data.
Upon realizing the deletion I haven't yet created any file-system on it. So it still shows Unallocated.
I tried Testdisk , but it shows entire partitions created from the beginning.
This sdb is my secondary drive with Xubuntu and Kubuntu on it. And that 255 GB NTFS partition was cross platform storage drive.
I am currently in sda with Ubuntu and Win7 in dual boot, which enables me to use it as Safe recovery option rather then Live USB drive.
First , should i allocate it to ? file-System for better recovery .
Second , i really need to recover data from this drive so please give me possible suggestions and proven methods of data recovery.
Third ,does Testdisk requires deleted partition to be allocated for its recovery .
I am currently trying the answer seen here https://askubuntu.com/a/24951/63025 with Testdisk scanning for partition second time, hoping to recover it.
It looks a duplicate but i can't confirm if the OP got it right. Since my first doubt is to allocate it or not.
If any clarification required please do comment ,i will add it.
Edit: TestDisk deeper search results.
The following partitions can't be recovered:
Partition Start End Size in sectors
> HPFS - NTFS 22241 107 11 55592 3 27 535777280
FAT32 LBA 274460 158 19 460576 228 16 2989957948

& for FAT32 LBA 1530 GB / 1425 GiB

After playing around the Viewing settings for a while i ended up with view like this
Under Default view the name should be under the icon.
Even after selecting the Reset view to Defaults and following this solutions listed here didn't work out.
How do I reset nautilus to the default configuration? ( Solutions to this answers didn't worked for me , tried removing Config files & then doing a re-installation of nautilus changed nothing)
https://askubuntu.com/questions/136824/nautilus-default-view-only ( This question was closed referencing to Natty bug report , please don't close this question)
All kind of solutions ( workarounds i mean) are welcomed ( just don't suggest changing nautilus to something else).
I already tried Changing the Viewing options under preferences menu with no success.
Since according to this Release Schedule the 12.04.1 point release is expected on 23 August 2012.
As per the Point release wiki in Release minus 1 month that all candidate bugs are fixed .
Where to find the list of Bugs that will be targeted to be fixed or fixed . Or changelogs as here ( not up-to-date i guess for PR)
P.S.: I guess it is too early to ask this question , if it is comment so.
Using Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit with Transmission version 2.51 (13280)
I am uploading screens for better understanding.
Transmission continues to Download the torrent even after Pausing .
Not just with particular torrent but all seems to do it. Seems to be occurring in file greater than 500 - 600 MBs .
This behaviour was present earlier version of Ubuntu too if my memory serves me right , but then ,due to Dual-boot nature i considered downloading large files in other Os.
At pausing ,
Downloading data, even after Paused.
I already referred most of the questions stating Upgrade from Mainline Builds or Compiling from latest source or PPA and also concluded that it can cause breakage to Current stable installed system.
My question is regarding the kernel builds from Canonical Kernel Team which i have subscribed in Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit , states
This is the core kernel team as hired by Canonical. Do not use this team, use ubuntu-kernel-team instead.
My stable kernel states 3.2.0-27.42 from Ubuntu repository , also i consider Canonical Kernel Team to be Official ,currently urging me to Upgrade 3.2.0-27.43 , so from the Odd numbered and through the PPA description it is categorized as Unstable. From this ,it can be said next stable release would be 3.2.0-27.44.
Is upgrading to .43 version is stable enough to continue , since .44 will be provide by Ubuntu itself based on .43 version and so on.
Though i can't expect a lot of Changes ,but does it provide new Improvements or just Bug Fixes since it is just a preceding Release.
Also , apart from Ubuntu mainline kernel , is Canonical Kernel Team different. If so , in what development or contribution terms.
Is the Ubuntu kernel developed by Two different teams or same team.
P.S.: Just noticed that sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade provides me upgrade to .43 kernel , which normally requires sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade to newer kernel available , unless it normally provides message like " Following packages were not upgraded..." , is it an error or an exception to this Canonical Kernel PPA.
Heres the apt-config dump
Just got idea from this(may not be related though) question however.
Are the ISO images from the official site updated with updates in Core Ubuntu system , like Kernel Updates , desktop Environment Updates(unity), i mean Updates of BASE system including X-org, Office suite, Package Manager , Update manager or Gnome Base Modules, those released in update Branches like precise-Updates branch.
The reason i am asking this is , if i download the ISO image of Ubuntu 12.04 Say after two or three months from release , i have to do an update of approximately 200~300 MB's size.
So why are these ISO images not updated to recent updates, i am aware that all of the components are not updated at the same time , but let's say after One month from actual release ( Both LTS and normal releases), the updated components can be added to form a Updated ISO in regular intervals, which provides new users to use latest versions and features with improved stability and less bandwidth Consumption.
I am not mentioning the idea of comparison to Rolling Release , or External PPA's added updates , and neither Netinstal but the ISO of updated Packages .This can be provided as optional download.
Since my question is within the boundary of Official updates releases so stability could not be the reason. I guess there are custom packagers out there , but having an official option would be better.
It helps in distributing Newest ISO OS which impresses a lot new users , since it makes availability of newer features and a faster system ofcourse. Another reason of asking this is here.
Edit: Since almost all new (Desktop) users download the Default ISO's having one or few issue , which may have been corrected in following updates. But most of new laptop users i encountered gave up because of it , so should i suggest ,for laptop not listed on Certified H/W list , to try daily Builds , if needed.
Partly it is a Curious question . ( Pretty stupid though)
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 64-Bit system with Unity as DE.
I was doing a routine to free -up some memory space by manual deletion of unwanted files (mostly songs and videos) and thereby right-clicking to verify for freed space.
But doing a right-Click Properties option in Root File system shows tremendous amount of Contents Memory 140.8 TB as follows
My Ubuntu is installed on 50 GB partition with ext4 as format having only / and swap as OS installation in dual boot with Windows 7 .My Internal Hard Disk is 1TB only.
So what exactly is it showing and why is it pointing such huge memory. What are the reasons for that huge Memory show.
P.S.: Must be related to some Linux OS File System based Concept i haven't yet learned or looked into.
O/P of df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda8 49G 12G 36G 25% /
udev 1.9G 4.0K 1.9G 1% /dev
tmpfs 773M 860K 772M 1% /run
none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
none 1.9G 784K 1.9G 1% /run/shm
I am talking about this Precise Man Pages.
From here i want the entire available English Language Man pages as it is , so i can view them offline in the same format .Simply Browser way, which also makes it portable for reditribution.
I am aware that it can be accessed through command line , but the Official site provides attractive description (makes a beginner like me less afraid in reading, learning and understanding them).
By what means and in what way should it be done to achieve the desired Man Pages in same Format.
Using Ubuntu 12.04 64-Bit edition.
P.S.: Also is there any way of knowing its size before downloading it.
Running Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit.
I mostly update through terminal using sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade.
I don't understand this: having Firefox or any other such integrated application actively running along with update process running concurrently in terminal, which is updating Firefox to a newer version. I am aware that restarting Firefox will cause Firefox to be opened as the newer version.
For example, when updating in MS Windows 7, it asks for closing the active instance of the same application (if it is active) before updating.
How does Ubuntu replace the active working application to a newer version without interfering with its active instance?
What exactly happens at the back-end of updating process in this case?
I am getting a error window stating LAUNCH ERROR while trying to open other partition (ntfs , ext4) from desktop with description as follows.
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
My network connection is working properly and it is couple of days Fresh installation alongside Ubuntu 12.04 Also posting a screen shot, though not a major problem but now i am getting it quite often.
P.S : I am guessing it is Mostly related to file manager [ thunar 1.2.3]
I am happily learning Ubuntu more closely now. I came across the process ubuntu-geoip-provider in system monitor.
Is is used for tracking or for gathering nearest server info, or for syncing time with Internet, or perhaps for all these things? I searched for it but not enough information came through. If it is tracking, what kind of info it is gathering, and why it is doing that?
It is based here: /usr/lib/ubuntu-geoip
I just wanted more detailed information for that.
Also, can this be disabled? Is disabling recommended, or would doing so cause dependency-related (or other) problems?
I don't remember the name of application or package which I used in Ubuntu 11.04 to view the default installed Documentation or manually installed documentations from synaptic.
It was pretty helpful. I tried searching but end up nowhere.
I tried YELP (Which is Ubuntu's help system) but it doesn't provide functionalities for viewing manually installed documentations.
For Example : I installed python2.7-doc package from "synaptic" package manager and doesn't shows up in Yelp.
I want the functionality to view the documentation installed by documentation packages. How can I do this?
I am currently running Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit.
Running apt-get update && apt-get upgrade starts the updating and upgrading procedure.
I was wondering ,Since i have installed 64 bit amd64 system then why does the command checks even the 32 bit i386 Repositories
Get:14 http://ppa.launchpad.net precise/main amd64 Packages [658 B]
Get:15 http://ppa.launchpad.net precise/main i386 Packages [658 B]
This is common for almost all the official Ubuntu repositories.
Are they mandatory required for update process or can they be removed if not required by the installed architecture at all.
I am using Guake in Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit ,is there any way i can put it on the Unity top Panel .
