I just got a Creative Sound Blaster for playing audio wirelessly. I connected it to a virtual version of Ubuntu desktop and just had to go into the sound settings and switch it to the USB and the device worked. Now I am trying to get it to work on Ubuntu Server 10.04. I plugged it in and restarte...
All I know is that it's taking forever to do it, juju debug-log is showing nothing, and there is no network traffice other than what I'm doing elsewhere. :P

... sometimes I think comments should be automatically deleted unless they have been upvoted e.g. 6 or 12 months. Too many stale comments hanging around.
I'm still a newbie on the askubuntu site, and what I experienced is that you need a reputation of 15 to upvote. I don't understand this.
Say you see a question that you would like to see answered or a problem you have too, and you would like to upvote but you can't. There are 2 alternatives to u...

@JorgeCastro: I submitted an application for review to MyApps (for the contest) 8 days ago. Are the applications going to be reviewed (for the software center) before the contest ends or after?

well dont know about the index number but definitely not doing anything other than a shrink ,move and expand ...thats all ....hope that keeps me covered
The answer that you were given, will get the job done. But with all thing that you do to a partition, there is a chance that something might go wrong, so its better to have a backup just incase.
Hey all, I'm having issues connecting from my Mac OS X to a linux samba share. My `/etc/samba/smb.conf` has the following configuration:
[home] writable = yes browsable = yes guest ok = yes read only = no public = yes
Using the Mac finder window I attempt to map the smb share with: smb://128.251.xxx.xxx it then prompts me for my creds, to which I reply 'guest', it then asks me which share I want to connect to (i.e. homes, [or the other share on my box]), but then fails with the following after I select 'Homes':
@LordofTime I agree that it's off-topic. It's not related to quickly/glade or any Ubuntu related piece I think. It's a general what programming language should I use to build this
Hey, he was right about grub2: if it's not installed in mbr but in a partition, moving said part may f it up (core.img no longer at same phys location), requiring a LiveCD repair. That said, he should be safe :)
I wonder if a MSO Q&A with tips on "How to survive cleaning up 2 thousand questions in bad tags" would get upvotes, downvotes or closed a NARQ... muses
Apologies if this is off topic - it concerns the relative efficiencies of running I/O-heavy Perl/Java scripts in parallel on a Ubuntu system.
I have written two simple versions of a file copy script (Perl and Java) - see below. When I run the scripts on a 15GB file, each takes a similar amount o...
Bounty offered: Problem mounting external USB drive in Ubuntu 12.04 http://askubuntu.com/questions/150813/problem-mounting-external-usb-drive-in-ubuntu-12-04?atw=1 #mount
when mounting to a linux share with NFS is there a way to force read/write access for everyone even if file/dir permissions on the linux box are set to: drwxr-xr-x ??
like, some option to set with the mount for using a super user's uid and gid ? or something to allow modify access to these types of directories?
the lv_admin user on the linux box has root privileges with 1000 as the uid and gid
so I figured if I squashed all nfs access to an anonymous user and made that anon user have uid and gid 1000 then it would mimic the lv_admin user and all would be good....
so evidently my laptop can't keep up with running a windows vm, playing video inside it, capturing and re-encoding at 1440*900, and capturing audio from a sink device separately all at the same time...runs fine for a couple minutes, but after about 15 things start going willy nilly
i think it's related to the fact that i'm actively transcoding while recording and resources are already thin so stuff gets backed up and starts swapping (which is when i think it's going wooly)
also, nano does not handle a backgrounded process delayed quit notification (quit recieved signal [2]) gracefully
