I'm not sure what the problem is here. I've googled around for this issue but couldn't find anything.
Only thing I did was install a new postgres and I made following change:
sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ precise-pgdg main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list"

Questions about Ubuntu on old computers
What exactly is an "old computer"? Where to draw the line? How I know my system has a problem because is old (btw, mine is almost 10 yo and still kicking)? Exactly who is capable of answering questions tagged with this?
I find a lot of files with names of the like
.goutputstream-xxxxx
where xxxxx are some alphanumeric characters.
Here is a screenshot of the home folder
Any idea why I should keep these or can I remove and also stop further creation?
Is there any way to install XP after installing Lubuntu 13.10 and bringing Ubuntu to the first position in the Grub menu as I am using XP only for my School Work and I am using Ubuntu for all my work. If, there is a way, then I want a detailed answer as i am using linux for the first time.
I have removed network-manager and am trying to configure Wifi with WEP manually.

So should I reject those suggested edits which just changes some minor formatting, but leaves the grammar wrong and doesn't correct the tags? Or should I reject them? (Of course there is the Improve this thing, but I usually don't have time for that.
@ThomasW. E.g this one: askubuntu.com/posts/374898/revisions Grammar left wrong, not even retagged it with the microphone tag, and changing the "/"-s to ">"? why?
@falconer most of the grammar issues there are very minor and even someone with rudimentary english understanding (i.e. english not their primary language) would be able to guess the question. Retagging isn't a requirement either, but someone can retag it if they want (note "microphone" is a very broad tag, having other tags attached is a plus)
@falconer question on that one, if you had to choose between the split-up version or the one mass of text version, to read the question, which would you choose?
@DuminduMahawela if you ever see this ping, you need to show up, your edits are becoming more and more minor, sooner or later someone's going to beat you with a stick.
@falconer No, we shouldn't.
there's a difference between "minor" like only fixing capitalization
and splitting thoughts up correctly into paragraphs, bulleted lists, etc.
a minor fix would be someone going through and just fixing capitalization
I came across an answer in the review que that was flagged as low quality, normal enough except that it was 3 years old.
here is the link: http://askubuntu.com/review/low-quality-posts/199833
The only reason I can come up with is that it was either missed somehow by the Community, or that it wa...
I have an interesting issue with Ubuntu. I have a laptop that has one jack for line in/microphone and line out/headphones.
This the reason why I bought a spliter like below:

thats no good, that would record your system sounds
So if in pavucontrol on the input tab you choose "internal mic" then the piano can be heard on the speakers, but audacity doesn't record anything. But if you change it to Mic, then noise is heard?
In the last several days I have come across at least 2 edits that were attempting to vandalize a post. I don't mean attempting to edit there own problem into the question or answer, these were absolute spam vandalisms.
Here it the most recent example:

When I ran into the problem I was preparing to go to bed, but just needed to look something up. Having noticed a problem with our site that I wouldn't be able to fix at the time, I shared it here on the chat.
I get a 404 on PPA, but can't seem to find it: http://ppa.launchpad.net/c-korn/ppa/ubuntu/dists/saucy/main/binary-amd64/Packages
It's not on the Software and Updates GUI, and grep -r "http://ppa.launchpad.net/c-korn/ppa/ubuntu/dists/saucy/main/binary-amd64/Packages" /etc got me nothing.
does anyone know off-hand a web service/api to get song metadata from an mp3? i know some apps do it, but i haven't started trudging through code yet... and i'ld rather not
@jrg - do you want to nudge this guy in to using a virtual environment from the beginning of trying to learn rails? askubuntu.com/questions/394037/… since you're the resident ruby guy
people do it all the time to get packages/bins that work in broken distros in to less broken distros or to "register" compiled from source tools. and yes, i agree it's better to fix the problem.
I would suggest changing the group of your webroot to www-data, the user used by nginx and also php5-fpm.
For example:
sudo chown -R my-user:www-data /webdirectory
sudo chmod -R 0755 /webdirectory
where my-user is your own account (which enables you to put the files easy in your webroot witho...
