I have Ubuntu 12.10 installed on my ASUS G75VW which is connected to two external screen. I've set my settings in System settings > Power to Do nothing for AC and Suspend for DC. It has worked great until today after I installed XScreensaver. The problems start when I couldn't lock the computer (...
When I close the lid of my Asus X77JQ, lucid shuts it down automatically after five minutes. I want to be able to sleep in the same room as my laptop, so I would like to be able to close the lid without it shutting down. How can I do this?
The power options lid close option is set to do nothing.
Well, basically: Their tag wikis say the same, I see no other application for internet than for internet-connection and I don't see why we need to split the whole tag-system around connections into another one. And since I kinda lack the rep:
I suggest: Merge internet-connection into internet.
apt-rdepends searches through the APT cache to find package
dependencies. apt-rdepends knows how to emulate the result of calling
apt-cache with both depends and dotty options.
By default, apt-rdepends shows a listing of each dependency a package
has. It will also look at each of these fulfilling packages, and
recursively lists their dependencies.
just my opinion. lenses shouldn't have unity as a dependency so you could do away with the UI and still use their data component to grab stuff. seems related to the current de discussion
@iSeth anything security related does not have an easy button. if they tell you otherwise, they're outsourcing all development to a third world nation and doing the weasel dance hoping for a turnkey solution
@AbrahamVanHelpsing i really want some sort of a rolling release with stability. ubuntu comes close, but i still don't have automated chromium releases. :P

We have a canonical-ish data recovery question that focuses on getting files back after simple deletion. But we have many scattered questions about recovering data from disk corruption, repartitioning, and so forth. Do we have a canonical(izable) data recovery question that focuses on situations where there the whole filesystem is "gone"? If not, I think we should.
I don't think there is. There's just too much what if in that question:
1) Hardware not related to the specific hard drive - controller on mobo/bad cable 2) Hardware on hard drive - logic board replacement 3) Physical moving parts - possible to replace, but not something i'm putting on AU 4) Partition table repair/recovery non-gpt and gpt - which software would you favor 5) Individual partition repair/recovery again which software is "right" for AU 6) File carving slow and people generally don't like it as an answer

@FEichinger Any objection or reservation to me removing the meta discussion excerpt entirely here? I'd take out "excerpt from the meta-discussion on this questions" and the blockquote after it. I think fossfreedom's comment with a link to the meta discussion should be sufficient to point people to the discussion.
I'm asking in case I'm missing a good reason it needs to be there...and also because, even though our very different opinions effectively come into agreement with respect to this particular question, I don't want to create any needless bad feelings or the appearance of conflict of interest in my edit.
I am using 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. So far I have not been able to install well known antivirus software:
ClamTk seems to suffer from lots of false positives.
Bitdefender is a nuisance. Sometimes it is there then it seems to be gone.

is a good Q actually. Dutch banks are now demanding AV software to be installed or else they will not refund you in case you are a victim of phishing/malware
@Mochan your comment "If you have found an answer or [...], please retract it yourself." here: askubuntu.com/q/154786/88802 seems to be quite ambiguous. I don't think one needs to retract answered q. here. you might want to add 'elsewhere' to this if you are using this as a pro-forma comment.
I'm trying to install php5 on my system but it looks like sudo apt-get install php5 installs a version without pdo support. What should I do to change the configuration of the package I want to install?
@AnPel please update your Q of yesterday on SF. another answer is in which is not going to help you. we've already discussed this yesterday. serverfault.com/a/463296/135437
@gertvdijk I believe yesterday's topic is a completely different topic than configuring package installation and that is why I did not update the Q there. Also, I have not accepted any of the questions, since I haven't gotten to the bottom of the problem ( yet )
@gertvdijk When I do I will post the solution and award rep to the people who tried to help me.
:7545359 After running this I got a list of packages, none too clear though. The output is this:
php5-mysql - MySQL module for php5
php5-odbc - ODBC module for php5
php5-pgsql - PostgreSQL module for php5
php5-sqlite - SQLite module for php5
php5-mysqlnd - MySQL module for php5 (Native Driver)
php5-sybase - Sybase / MS SQL Server module for php5
since I want to use pdo with mysql should I go for php5-mysql?

cp: cannot create regular file `/etc/php5/mods-available/mysql.ini': No such file or directory
@AnPel where the heck does /etc/php5/mods-available/ come from? This should in /etc/php5/conf.d. And I have no trouble installing that package and it installs there fine.
@gertvdijk I'm in 12.10.. The problem is most likely obvious, IF you know where to look for. sad part is I have no idea where to look for. sort of like a blind guy in a minefield.
@gertvdijk can't thank you enough. I've installed and uninstalled lamp and each package multiple times the past 3 days, so this may have something to do with why dpkg returns an error
Apologies for the php5/mods-available part. This seems to have changed in 12.10. Hmm. Anyway...
Setting up php5-mysql (5.4.6-1ubuntu1.1) ...
Creating config file /etc/php5/mods-available/mysql.ini with new version
Creating config file /etc/php5/mods-available/mysqli.ini with new version
Creating config file /etc/php5/mods-available/pdo_mysql.ini with new version
without error here.
Remember that php5-mysql seems to be installed with lamp-server^ (task)
@AnPel No. Reinstalling packages should not cause any of this trouble. php5-mysql relies on the existence of that dir installed by php5-common. you've checked ls /etc/php5/mods-available?
@AnPel about leftover files when removing... read this:
apt-get remove packagenamewill remove the binaries, but not the configuration or data files of the package packagename. It will also leave dependencies installed with it on installation time untouched.
apt-get purge packagename, or apt-get remove --purge packagename will remove about everything ...
ok. so if that package is marked "installed" and the files aren't there anymore which belong to the package.... then I'm fairly sure you removed it erroneously.
Package management will piss you off working around it. Keep that in mind. Be kind to it.
sorry I'm lazy to hit the reply button for every reply to get you notified properly.
@gertvdijk It's not like I'm working on anything else. I've been using ubuntu under windows for a year and it all was excellent, 3 days ago I decided to give ubuntu it's own partition and I haven't even set up lamp
@gertvdijk Chances are I'll go for big reinstall ubuntu..
@AnPel yep. I think you'll understand why one day.
@AnPel Never touch files managed by your package management, unless they're provided as example configuration files. Apparently, you've (re)moved a whole directory which the package management is relying on (to exist) by its information (we've seen that using dpkg -L).
I will most likely sound like pretty dumb saying this, but I was trying to install Ubuntu on a USB because my friend keeps telling me to, so I was installing it, and now it seems when I try get back onto Windows 7 it just comes up with a flashing white underline at the top left-hand corner of the...
@EliahKagan No objection at all - The asker saw some value in it (it does contain a note as to what might be the cause/point), so I fixed it, but I don't see why it's needed at all. Benefit of the doubt.
@gertvdijk It does happen upon formatting partitions sometimes. I haven't yet figured out why, though.
Like, when choosing "Install alongside" it may or may not format a Windows partition as well. No idea what causes it.
In this instance, however, it's probably just someone who doesn't get partitions.
