LibreOffice Math not working... how to start troubleshooting?

2

After update to LibreOffice 3.5, I can no longer create/edit equations with Math.

If I insert an equation or try to edit an old one, I will not get the windows split at the bottom of the screen where I can write the text.

What can I do to troubleshoot this? Is it a known issue (I haven't found any info on it, anyway)?

How to speed up Evolution

6

I have a moderately big Inbox file (around 2.3Gb) and Evolution takes a lot to start (it takes over 2.5 mins until I can perform any action -read or compose mail, for instance-). During that time, the shole system becomes unresponsive, with high HD activity.

It becomes unresponsive when retrieving mail, too: it stalls for about 30 secs. Closing evolution can take yet another 1.5 minutes, also.

Is there any way I can speed things up?

Last Edit: As I have checked that reducing my inbox file size (by means of moving old mail to an 'Archived Mail' folder) does the trick of speeding everything up, while keeping a copy of every mail at hand, my ultimate question is:

Is there any "auto-archive" feature or plug-in or script or anything for Evolution? I could do it "by hand" using saved searches and such, but it would be nice to have it automatically done (as it is in Outlook, for instance)

Previous Edit:

Answering comments:

Evolution retrieves POP mail from gmail and a personal postfix/courier mailserver
I could change to any other mail client provided that A) migration is easy enough B) Speed problems are likely to vanish with the new client and C) I can sync contacts and calendar with gmail
I'm not experiencing high HDD activity problems with other apps, and swap is not (or at least should not be) a problem, since it's usually at 0% (I'll keep an eye on it, anyway)

Other considerations:

I used to work with Outlook and it managed several 2 Gb files (one was actually the inbox, and three were "archive.pst" files, to which I never added more mails, except when Outlook auto-archived old ones). I even would like to add this pst files to Evolution, so that I can be able to search old mails, but A) I don't know how and B) I'm scared... If evolution can't handle properly a 2.3 Gb file, adding load would be a bad idea, I suppose.
I guess things would speed up if I could "move" some old mail from my Inbox file to another one, but it should be readable and searchable. Anyway, I don't know if this can be done with Evolution, and, as stated, is just a guess.

Anacron mailing weird errors

4

Since update to 11.04, I keep receiving messages from 'Anacron', with some errors. Two types of messages, actually.

The first of those types is like:

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
/etc/denyhosts.conf: 28: SECURE_LOG: not found
/etc/denyhosts.conf: 36: HOSTS_DENY: not found
/etc/denyhosts.conf: 60: PURGE_DENY: not found
/etc/denyhosts.conf: 95: BLOCK_SERVICE: not found
/etc/denyhosts.conf: 110: DENY_THRESHOLD_INVALID: not found
/etc/denyhosts.conf: 121: DENY_THRESHOLD_VALID: not found
/etc/denyhosts.conf: 131: DENY_THRESHOLD_ROOT: not found
/etc/denyhosts.conf: 142: DENY_THRESHOLD_RESTRICTED: not found
/etc/denyhosts.conf: 155: WORK_DIR: not found
/etc/denyhosts.conf: 200: LOCK_FILE: not found
/etc/denyhosts.conf: 221: ADMIN_EMAIL: not found
/etc/denyhosts.conf: 232: SMTP_HOST: not found
/etc/denyhosts.conf: 233: SMTP_PORT: not found
/etc/denyhosts.conf: 252: Syntax error: newline unexpected
error: error running non-shared postrotate script for /var/log/denyhosts of '/var/log/denyhosts '
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1

These are the corresponding entries in /etc/denyhosts.conf

SECURE_LOG = /var/log/auth.log
HOSTS_DENY = /etc/hosts.deny
PURGE_DENY = 1w
BLOCK_SERVICE  = sshd
DENY_THRESHOLD_INVALID = 5
DENY_THRESHOLD_VALID = 10
DENY_THRESHOLD_ROOT = 1
DENY_THRESHOLD_RESTRICTED = 1
WORK_DIR = /var/lib/denyhosts
LOCK_FILE = /var/run/denyhosts.pid
ADMIN_EMAIL = root@localhost
SMTP_HOST = localhost
SMTP_PORT = 25

All of them seem fine to me.

Also, lines 251-253 in the same file go like:

#
SMTP_FROM = DenyHosts <DenyHosts@localhost>
#

So I don't see the "unexpected newline", either...

The other type of mail message I get from 'Anacron' is:

/etc/cron.daily/popularity-contest:
readline() on closed filehandle FILES at /usr/sbin/popularity-contest line 104.

(with the former line repeated some tens times)

Any hint on these messages?

I guess filter sasl (which is enabled) should take care of them, but ip is never banned. Seems there's no match with the failregex expression in sasl.conf filter:

# Fail2Ban configuration file
#
# Author: Yaroslav Halchenko
#
# $Revision: 728 $
#

[Definition]

# Option: failregex
# Notes.: regex to match the password failures messages in the logfile. The
#          host must be matched by a group named "host". The tag "<HOST>" can
#          be used for standard IP/hostname matching and is only an alias for
#          (?:::f{4,6}:)?(?P<host>[\w\-.^_]+)
# Values: TEXT
#
failregex = (?i): warning: [-._\w]+\[<HOST>\]: SASL (?:LOGIN|PLAIN|(?:CRAM|DIGEST)-MD5) authentication failed(: [A-Za-z0-9+/]*={0,2})?$

# Option:  ignoreregex
# Notes.:  regex to ignore. If this regex matches, the line is ignored.
# Values:  TEXT
#
ignoreregex =

Any hint on what's failing here? Any way to correct the problem?

Edit: A simpler question that could be a start for troubleshooting this issue: do those SASL LOGIN warnings in mail.log match the failregex expression? I don't really know how to test it, and I don't have enough knowledge about regex sintax to work it out on my own.

Thanks in advance.

Free software for interactive panoramas?

4

Is there any free software to create interactive panoramas (360º, like this one) in Ubuntu?

Edit: I would need not only a way to create a static panorama (i.e, a JPG file, for instance), but also a way to convert it to some interactive format (swf, mov....) or some way to implement it in a web page so that it can be panned, rotated, etc. (zoomed would also be nice, but is not strictly required).

Use Evolution to back up Gmail "Sent folder"

4

I want to retrieve (initially via POP) my Gmail account mails, but the idea is just to keep a backup of those mails. But Gmail "Sent" mail is retrieved and put altogether with received mail into my Evolution inbox. How can I get mails in my Gmail "Sent" folder from Evolution?

(if I could get my Gmail labels, too, that'll be great, but it's not a primary goal)

What are fail2ban's log iptables "returned NNN" entries? (Fail2ban is failing to ban)

4

In my fail2ban.log there are some entries the meaning of which I don't understand (and haven't found searching around)... I have several "jails", and I have created one particular one that bans IP's when they try to connect to web server searching for scripts, I guess.... These are some entries from a given IP (sorry about the long log):

To prevent this, I have set up a custom jail in /etc/fail2ban/jail.local:

[apache-404-slowattackers]
enabled = true
port = http,https
filter = apache-404-slowattackers
logpath = /var/log/apache*/*access.log
bantime = 344000
findtime = 172800
maxretry = 12

And this is /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/apache-404-slowattackers.conf

[Definition]
failregex = (?P<host>[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}) .+ 404 [0-9]+ "
ignoreregex =

(same as the default /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/apache-404.conf filter)

Fail2ban does ban some IP's when they work against some filters, but not against my custom one. Some lines from /var/log/fail2ban.log:

As you can see, something fails when trying to ban an attack against my custom filter (so such attacks are detected, but not correctly banned, I don't know why)

So my questions would be:

Are those errors a fail2ban problem or an iptables one?
What do those errors mean?... and... how can they be avoided?
What am I doing wrong, or how could I correct this behaviour?

EDIT:

Maybe this is useful to answer the question (or not), but iptables -L shows no trace of my apache-404-slowattackers, while other jails are present:

How to configure mail (mailutils) to use Maildir schema by default?

10

When I type mail command, I get a "No mail for USER" answer, but there's indeed mail (it's in /home/USER/Maildir/new)

I guess it has something to do with the mailbox being in Maildir format, instead of mbox, but I don't know how to tell mailutils (specifically the mail command) which format to use.

Why doesn't my grub background show?

I've tried to change resolution, colors and background image for my grub menu, but I get no background (well, just a black one, no image).... What am I doing wrong?

Why is my root filesystem always scanned at boot?

5

I always have a pause at boot saying my filesystems are being checked (with a "press C to cancel" note, too). Actually (seeing boot.log) I think it's the / fs, which is located at /dev/sdb5

Several questions altoghether, here (hope this does not break any rule):

Is this normal?
Can I (or even should I) prevent this anyhow?
According to boot.log (below) the fs does not seem to be 'clean', or, at least, it's in an state or condition that makes fsck always can it for errors for a while (just a few seconds). How can I fix it?

Edit: This is my boot.log:

Remote login with graphical display manager (GDM, LightDM)

25

Is it possible to remotely (via ssh) make a login to GDM? I'll explain a situation in which I'd need this: I'm on my laptop and connect to my desktop via ssh. I realize there are some updates available. I install them all, but I need to reboot the computer. The problem is that once the desktop has rebooted, there will be no GDM session available, since it's necessary to log in. Can I somehow perform the GDM login remotely from my laptop?

Edit: I can't find FreeNX for Maverick, and I haven't been able to configure x11vnc + vncviewer to work. Isn't there an easy way?

Ways to enter special characters? Is Alt+Numpad possible?

18

I know there's this question How can I type special characters like ë?, but I'd like to know if there is any possibility to configure the keyboard to use windowish style to insert special characters (Alt+Code in numpad). I know it can be done with Ctr+Shift+U+Code but...

I have to enable ibus and don't know how to leave it enabled by default
~~Hex codes are longer than decimal ones~~ Ctrl+Shift+U+Hex codes combos are longer than the Alt+Decimal code ones
As an ex-Windows(TM) user, I'm so used to it....

Two examples of characters I use a lot, comparing win style and gnome-style

Tilde (~) character
Windows -> Alt+1-2-6
gnome -> Ctrl+Shift+U+7-e

Superscript 2 - square (²) character
Windows -> Alt+2-5-3
gnome -> Ctrl+Shift+u+b-e

If you try those 'key combos', the windows style is easier to type (not being subjective: less fingers used simultaneously, less keys pressed).

As I don't want to put it in some subjective way, my question would be it I can configure the keyboard to use Alt+Numpad style, or if I need to stick to the Ctrl+Shift+U combo (or the compose key alternative)

DynDNS updater?

6

Back in Windows, I had a DynDNS updater which showed a little icon in the task bar... It was a launch-and-forget little app. I want to know if there is something similar in Ubuntu.

Specifically, I'd like to have some kind of notification applet which shows status, that is, whether IP is currently updated or not.

Is there anything like that? Or should I stick to command-line-only apps?

Weird glitches in Inkscape rulers

2

I have a weird glitch when working with Inkscape. The little arrows in the rulers that show current cursor position remain there, not being erased. So I end with the ruler full of them, or just with a thick black line. This, obviously, renders this feature useless, as I can't tell the real position of the cursor. Here goes an example:

Imagen

Is there any way to fix this? Is it a video card driver problem or is it an Inkscape bug?

How can I acess it from nautilus or mount it as a filesystem?

Note that this is similar to this other question: Can't get HP Officejet 6500 card reader to work but actually there seemed to be no supported device here, while in my case I manage to access the memory card from hp-unload.

Update: I haven't been able to point Nautilus to smb://192.168.68.35/memory_card, which is supposed to work, too. Nautilus can't open it.

Update: nmblookup and smbclient results:

Syncing WM6 <-> Evolution.... opensync-module-python missing?

1

I'm trying to install opensync-plugin-synce to sync my wm6 phone with Evolution, but when I try (from synaptic, also with ap-get), is:

Depende: opensync-module-python  but it is not installable

In fact, I haven't found opensync-module-python in repositories.

Any hint? Is there any way to sync WM6 and Evolution (preferably without intermediate online syncs as Gmail, for instance)?

Update: opensync-module-python exists in the repositories for previous versions of Ubuntu (mine is 10.10).... could I install it from there or would I ruin something?

Update: should I mark this as impossible? Seems to be no way to sync WM6 phone with Evolution right now....
