So I have a HP Elitebook 725 G3 and up till now it has been acting fairly well with no major issues. However after the most recent set of updates every time I have shutdown or reset it has got stuck on a blank screen and the processor is running at 100% given the amount of fan noise and the fact that after a while the system shuts down because of an overheat issue.
Any pointers to what might be causing the issue would be much appreciated.
I have recently got a new laptop Teclast F5 which has a few recurring issues with Ubuntu.
I am currently using Ubuntu Budgie 19.10 but I was having the same issues with Kubuntu 19.10.
When I boot the system and shutdown I get loud clicks/pops from the speaker is there a solution to this problem.
This Christmas I received a MeeGo Pad T01 as a present and have been checking around the inter-webs for a Ubuntu/Linux installation guide without success.
So my question is fairly self explanatory how do I install Ubuntu on this device?
any flavour will do
If possible a step by step guide to follow would be great especially for anyone coming here in the future.
btw managed to bring up the bios with F7 will add more info as I get it
The title is self explanatory but here is a big screenshot to emphasize what I mean
As you can see I have the Get Software tab open with the all section selected.
Any suggestions?
I have had a look at the community documentation here and there doesn't seem to be any information about how to "Automount" a folder as the C: drive in Dosbox.
Also as a bonus is it possible to automount the cd/dvd drive in the same way?
I have a problem on my machine with all of the kernels from:
Basically the kernel wont boot meaning I can't use apport to collect data for the bug
Doing a verbose boot shows the boot hanging on this line
ohci_hcd 0000:00:12.1: irq 16, io mem 0xfe02d000
Having done a bit of research on the subject ohci is in relation to the USB bus
Any advice about how to report this on launchpad would be appreciated and any work around suggestions would be welcome
As far as I can tell replacing the kernel in the official image with an older or hacked newer one which I have no Idea how to do.
Way back when Ubuntu 10.04 was released Canonical changed the branding of Ubuntu to the orange/purple combination which I kind of like so why more than one year later the Ubuntu Forums still look like this:
So why the long wait?
I have had a look at the Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase Wiki. It has lots of information about how to submit material.
I have no talent whatsoever, however if I see something awesome/spectacular/beautiful, how do I tell the Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase about it?
In short how do I big up my favorite video/picture/music?
I have been using Natty for a month now and everything is running smoothly there is only one or two problems I have come across (on my Machine). This problem is as far as I can tell in relation to the global menu, I like to enable menu Icons as I feel having a visual cue makes it quicker to find the menu item quicker however almost all of the Icons are being replaced with not found image icons. Is this a bug or is there a simple fix for this?
One of the programs I use heavily in Ubuntu is Open/LibreOffice as part of my work specifically Draw.
I recently upgraded to Natty 11.04 (clean install) obviously this has meant switching to LibreOffice. I know I can go back to OpenOffice if I want to but Oracle seem to be more interested in lawyers than FOSS and I'm sure LO will be a lot better in a short period of time.
The only problem I have found switching is a strange (irritating) difference which doesn't seem to have a config setting that I can change. In OO When I select an image and insert a new one it will "replace" the original using the same dimensions in LO this is not the case the image is simply added to the page whether you select an image on the page or not.
I did find an OO extension which provides the same functionality
Change picture extension - http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/ChangePicture
The main issue is the extension doesn't use the "working directory" of LO so you have to navigate to the correct directory each time (censored). As I will be doing this for 4 pictures per document and over 1000 documents and possibly many more in the future my sanity is at stake.
So if any one has any insights on the easiest way to solve this one thanks in advance.
It sounds like a simple question but if it was I wouldn't be asking it. I can obviously do this by opening all the folders in nautilus and pasting each one individually but the computer is the robot not me (I'm talking about 500 files).
So is there a way of doing this more efficently by gui or command line? either is as good as the other.
If it makes you feel better you will be saving a poor "V" key from severe punishment.
I have a lot of images on my laptop as I work in graphics. On the same system, I also have a folder containing my family pictures.
I would like to do two things:
and then
In the settings of Nautilus you can only change global settings.
Any ideas?
I have come across two bugs (which will be added to launchpad if it's not resolved here)
If I play any video local or remote it will show 1 frame maybe 0.5 sec of video then I get a black screen and audio continues in the backgound.
I have a Fujitsu Amilo 1718 laptop with 2 gig of ram (original 1 gig) graphics is provided by ATI Radeon Xpress 200M (don't laugh it works with compiz....just)
I have a link to the output of banshee --debug Here.
Don't have time to read? Here are the highlights:
[2 Warn 11:52:34.814] Caught an exception - System.ArgumentNullException: Argument cannot be null.
then a bit later
Debug info from gdb:
Could not attach to process. If your uid matches the uid of the target
process, check the setting of /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope, or try
again as the root user. For more details, see /etc/sysctl.d/10-ptrace.conf
ptrace: Operation not permitted.
=================================================================
Got a SIGSEGV while executing native code. This usually indicates
a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries
used by your application.
=================================================================
Aborted
Not music to my ears as you can expect. The version I am using is 1.9.4 from the daily ppa but these bugs happen in any version of banshee from 1.8.1 and up. So if any one has come across a fix for this problem please share!!
Additional info
Both VLC and Miro work on my system so there isn't a system wide problem with video and I haven't mentioned mono so no trolling it will get voted down.
Edit 1/2
Ok so half way there I added the webkit teams ppa ppa:webkit-team/ppa to my software sources and updated. The result is Banshee no longer crashes when opening sites. However its is still unable to play video even after disabling gapless playback as per Michaels instructions so Halfway there but not the full Banana.
I would really like to switch over to Thunderbird from Evolution. I have had a look around and haven't found a good up to date how to for migrating. I have quite a lot of emails and filters and would like to make the transition as painless as possible.
thanks for any help.
I am using this command
gvfs-move file smb://server/directory/file
to move files over a samba share I would like to transfer multiple files by piping the results of a gvfs-ls to the same command however I cannot use a wild card to limit the search like this
gvfs-ls smb://server/directory/*.mkv
How do I create a list of files over a samba share and proccess those?
Ok I am in the process of backing up my film collection to a NAS and I wanted to automate this as much as possible as I have to work at the same time. I am trying to setup a daily dump of ISO's ready to be converted overnight. I would like to do this as a cron job using gnomevfs. I have been able to connect and do an ls command successfully with
gnomevfs-ls smb://user:WORKGROUP:password@media-centre/videos/
but I am having trouble setting up a mv command from a local folder to the same shared folder keep getting the Usage: gnomevfs-mv <from> <to> quote which isn't particularly informative ;)
any ideas?
Ok while browsing for an answer to a problem mentioned here at askubuntu I found this site "Ubuntu Addict" which looks like a google advert driver. Is there a place I can report something like that if I see it.
Ok I have a problem every 2 times out of 3 I login (I cant be specific it fairly random) I get a Stuttering GDM warning (not the login sound just the Bell sound to wake you up) the only way to stop it is to login
I have a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo 1718 with a 2gig of memory (only hardware mod) using 10.10 Maverick and I have disabled KMS as my system was freezing as per the release notes.
The only time this has happened before on the same machine was when I gave Kubuntu a try when 10.04 came out then it happened at the login screen and at random times while listening to music in any program. By the way audio is fine as is almost everything else once I have logged in.
I would like an answer to this as I am an advocate of Ubuntu and its kind of embarrassing when the first thing that happens is *bing*.
as requested Daniel
Not sure how useful the pulse log will be as I cant replicate the bug with a terminal open but I wouldnt be asking the question if I knew the answer so.....
Edit 24/12/2010 ......been living on cocktail sausages and pickled onions for five days now made a make shift splint with cocktail sticks..... oops so updated the alsa drivers but I still get the same message in the dmesg
No response from codec, disabling MSI: last cmd=0x10a90000
googleing it brings up a forum post from some other distro with a green logo
the only common denominator seems to be graphics ie ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M which is why I have had to turn of kms as the chip is so old that small mice try to eat the "kernel" ;) funnily enough following the bug link at the end of the post, I found a comment about "Ubuntu Black Magic" so mabey I am coming at this from the wrong angle...... Bad Joo Joo any one. I will try the second part of Daniels Fix and Update with the result.
The final Edit: (Plays air guitar) In the end neither of these solved the problem as such However I have given Roland a tick for reminding me of the solution and I gave Daniel the Bounty for the effort in trying to solve the problem.
The answer for future readers was the enable the correct HD Audio Model I found the answer back when using Karmic Koala 9.10 in this forum post Amilo Li1718 Skype - Can't get it working... the model is options snd-hda-intel model=3stack position_fix=1 enable=yes which can be added to the end of alsa-base.conf thanks all for helping and hope anyone with a similar problem will find the answer here.
