CPU and motherboard
The Linux kernel in versions of (K)Ubuntu starting with Karmic Koala implemented mandatory CPU temperature and fan speed sensor monitoring (which was optional in previous kernels). The output from the sensors is used to effect CPU scaling (throttling) in the event of "out of range" temperature values. However, not all motherboards/CPUs have sensor drivers available, and due to a bug in the feedback routine, missing sensors drivers incorrectly report as an "out of range" error in the kernel. Originally this threw multiple errors which were logged (using rsyslogd) to both the /var/log/kern.log and the /var/log/syslog files, filling them to multiple Gb size within a few hours. This had the effect of slowing, then freezing, the machine. Currently, the machine will simply not boot.
If your machine is affected by this problem, you may be restricted to versions of (K)Ubuntu that are Jaunty or earlier (or you must undertake extensive workarounds).
Disable CPU Frequency scaling
(Note: These instructions may not work with newer Linux kernels.) My motherboard does not have drivers for my CPU fan sensor. Therefore, the Linux kernel cannot monitor the temperature and fan speeds properly and throttles the CPU (aka frequency scaling) inappropriately. This has the effect of slowing or freezing my computer. To turn off this behavior, I used the Debian RCConf utility:
sudo apt-get install rcconf sudo rcconf
and unchecked the ONDEMAND item. (I also unchecked the fan control item). I then rebooted. For more info, see this.
libsensors (libsensors3 and/or libsensors4) is a module that allows an interface (such as lm-sensors) to monitor your motherboard/CPU temp and fan speeds. You can adjust settings:
sudo kate /etc/sensors.conf sensors -s
libsensors and lm-sensors are not used by the Linux kernel (which uses other routines).
Some hardware CPU sensors are not recognized by the Linux kernel, causing system slowdown or freezing. Here is some info about hardware/sensors problems.
Sensors-applet (Motherboard monitoring)
Sensors-applet (or xsensors) is the Gnome (Ubuntu) frontend for lm-sensors. These sensors monitor the temperature and fan-speed sensors of your motherboard.
sudo apt-get install sensors-applet lm-sensors sudo sensors-detect sensors-applet
- Make sure your sensors are installed.
For more info, see this thread.
Graphics Cards
Frequency Out of Range / Choose New Resolution
- If this error appears when booting Natty Narwhal, see the solution found here at Ubuntu Forums:
- Edit the grub configuration file:
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
- Edit the lines:
# The resolution used on graphical terminal # note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE # you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo' #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480
- by removing the comment hashmark and choosing an appropriate resolution so that the lines resemble:
# The resolution used on graphical terminal # note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE # you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo' GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768
- Re-build the grub configuration file:
sudo update-grub
Install Latest Nvidia/ATI drivers
Ubuntu uses a GUI frontend to Jockey for the installation of the proprietary nVidia drivers (and other proprietary drivers).
- Menu -> System -> Hardware Drivers
- Sometimes after a kernel upgrade a proprietary driver may stop working. In such a case, try installing the new linux-headers that match the newly upgraded kernel:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
- If dkms and build-essential have never been installed on your system, these can also be worthwhile:
sudo apt-get install dkms build-essential
Intel integrated graphics cards
- With the default installation of Maverick, my computer with integrated Intel graphics blanked the screen at bootup and then froze. These steps work around this problem.
- When booting up, choose recovery mode as root (or "root with networking"). This will give the command line (as root user).
- Edit the Grub2 configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
- Change the line:
- to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet i915.modeset=0"
- Then regenerate the Grub2 configuration file:
sudo grub-mkconfig --output=/boot/grub/grub.cfg
- When I then rebooted, my graphics worked.
Intel graphics resolution problems
- On a fresh installation of Karmic Koala I had no problems with my onboard Intel graphics card. However, on an update from Jaunty to Karmic, I could not get higher screen resolutions -- the same problem I had in Jaunty. A solution to achieve higher resolutions is to revert to the old Intel drivers (used in Intrepid), as detailed here.
Screen Keeps Flickering
If you have an Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML card, your screen may flicker every 5-10 seconds. To prevent this:
- Menu -> System -> Administration -> Advanced -> Service Manager -> Uncheck "Detect RANDR (monitor) changes"
Reconfigure xserver-xorg
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Before installing any driver for ATI or nvidia, please make backup xorg.conf before following this method.
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated again, run the following command:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
If you want to try this xorg.conf after installing the driver, you must back up your xorg.conf as following. And then, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf in text editor. Add or modify this xorg.conf sample.
xorg.conf for nvidia

Installation of ATI and nVidia Graphics drivers
nVidia Driver
The current proprietary nVidia drivers are automatically installed using:
- Menu -> System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers
Look for the current drivers to activate there.
- Here are alternate manual instructions.
- Please make a backup of xorg.conf before following this method.
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
- Install the nvidia-settings package:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
- Download the nVidia driver:
wget -O NVIDIA-Linux-x86-pkg1.run http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-pkg1.run
and choose yes to any verbose response. After you install the driver, reboot your computer.
ATI Driver
If you have problems with ATI drivers after upgrading, check this link for solutions to common problems with ATI.
Monitors / Displays
Turn off power saving
Even when on AC power, the power saver feature of Ubuntu sometimes changes the screen brightness to the battery setting on laptops. This was a problem with the ACPI power management module in the past, but should now be fixed. If not, change the settings:
- To access the Guidance Power Manager module, click on the power icon on the desktop taskbar.
- Change the brightness setting for "Battery powered" to maximum.
You can also turn off power management settings (invoked when the computer is idle):
- Menu -> System -> Preferences -> Power Management -> Display -> Put display to sleep when inactive for: Never -> Close
Configure Dual Monitors with nVidia
- Make sure that the nVidia driver has been installed and is functioning properly on your first screen. Also, make sure both monitors are connected.
- Menu -> Administration -> NVIDIA X Server Settings
- or from the command-line terminal (Terminal or Konsole) type:
sudo nvidia-settings
- Select "X Server Display Configuration".
- You should see 3 boxes (2 if your card doesn't have an S-Video out). From here you can configure all of your card's outputs.
- Check the "(Disabled)" box.
- Select "Configure...".
- The most common choice is TwinView. Select it.
- Setup the desired screen resolutions and positions of your two active displays.
- The new display will likely have resolution set to "Auto" to match your first. Change this if you wish.
- Leave the first screen's position as "Absolute" and set your second display's position relative to that.
- "Clone" means the same output on both.
- Once you are satisfied with your settings, hit Apply to test them.
- Note: if your displays are side-by-side, the kicker may extend across both screens as well as any maximized applications. This will be corrected when the X server is restarted.
- If everything else is ok, hit "Save to X Configuration File". Now hit Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to restart X. You now have 2 screens!
- Troubleshooting: if the X server fails to reload you can recover your old X configuration. In a terminal:
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Hard Drives and USB Storage
Optical Drives
Printers & Scanners
The new CUPS interface recognizes many printers. Specific printers not recognized can often be installed using instructions found at the Linux Foundation OpenPrinting database.
Add a Printer
- Menu -> System -> Administration -> Printing -> Server -> New -> Printer
Most of the time, your printer (if connected and turned on) will be detected automatically.
My network printer with its own IP address at 192.168.0.124 was correctly installed at
- socket://192.168.0.124:9100.
You can also choose printers on a Windows system via Samba and other types of networked printers, in addition to directly connected printers.
Use CUPS web interface
From any web browser, go to the URL:
- http://localhost:631
Brother printers
Most Brother printers are auto-detected or can be installed directly from the CUPS interface. For additional drivers and instructions see the Brother help site. For information on a specific model, see the Linux OpenPrinting site.
HP Printers
For Hewlett Packard printers / scanners, install hplip and hplip-gui.
sudo apt-get install hplip hplip-gui
- Add the printer:
- Menu -> Applications > System Tools > HP Toolbox
This should set up printer / scanners for scanning as well.
- For scanning, install Xsane:
sudo apt-get install sane xsane
- Menu -> Applications -> Graphics > Xsane image scanning
A full library of Linux drivers for HP printers is here.
If you get no sound with a fresh install, check that the sound levels are not set to zero. Click on the sound (speaker) icon on the panel, and then mixer. You may need to expand the dialog window to show labels. Ensure levels aren't set to zero, especially PCM.
Sound in (K)Ubuntu is routed by Phonon either directly to your sound card or through the PulseAudio sound system. To use PulseAudio, you must install it. This can be done by installing the PulseAudio control modules (which will install pulseaudio as a dependency):
- Install PulseAudio with the control modules:
sudo apt-get install pavucontrol paprefs
- Although I no longer use it, in older versions of (K)Ubuntu I also (optionally) installed a system tray widget:
sudo apt-get install padevchooser padevchooser
Some experimentation with the settings in
- Menu -> System -> System Settings -> Multimedia
may be necessary to make sound on your system work properly.
Try setting PulseAudio as the first sound system if you are having troubles getting sound (even if you are using ALSA). If that doesn't work, try making it the last choice.
Some programs require ALSA sound and try to send sound directly through ALSA drivers. Check your program's preferences section to see if ALSA is selected. You may have to switch to PulseAudio (or even OSSound) if you can't get sound.
HDMI with PulseAudio
I could only get my HDMI audio on my computer to work this way, and I can't quite figure out why it works.
- I checked to make sure my Mobile Intel 4 Series HDMI audio driver was installed (it is part of the most recent kernels):
aplay -l aplay -L
This told me the HDMI card was recognized and configured properly. The problem was that no matter what I did, I couldn't get the sound piped through the HDMI card using ALSA, Kmix or any other settings (I tried every permutation).
- In PAVUControl I selected the HDMI card as the output device:
- Menu -> Multimedia -> PulseAudio Volume Control -> Configuration -> Internal Audio -> Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output
Then everything played through the HDMI audio card (through the cable to my HDTV).
This worked whether I had PulseAudio selected as the default audio or not (in System settings -> Multimedia). Don't ask me why.
- My HDMI port/output is only recognized if the HDMI cable is plugged in at bootup (it does not matter whether the HDTV power is on or not). If I plug in the HDMI cable after bootup, it isn't recognized.
- After doing this, every program I use works: VLC, Audacious, or whatever. It does not seem to matter whether the application is using Default, ALSA, or PulseAudio for the audio output plugin. None of this makes sense to me, but it works. I'm happy to be able to play HDMI movies (through VLC) to my HDTV.
- To change sound output back to my computer's internal speakers (ALSA), I returned the output setting:
- Menu -> Multimedia -> PulseAudio Volume Control -> Configuration -> Internal Audio -> Analog Stereo Output
Recording with PulseAudio
To set the PulseAudio inputs that will be recorded by an application (such as Audacity or FFMPEG), the recording must be already started! Only then can the inputs (to be recorded) be selectable in PulseAudio.
- For example, to record from a plug in microphone using Audacity, make sure the microphone is plugged in. Make sure in the Sound Mixer (icon) that the microphone is not muted and that the levels are set appropriately.
- In PulseAudio Volume Control, select the device that will be the input.
- Menu -> Multimedia -> PulseAudio Volume Control -> Input Devices -> Show: All Input Devices
- -> Internal Analog Audio Stereo: Port: Analog microphone
Of course, you should use the device you wish to use here. You can also select the Monitor of Internal Analog Audio Stereo device, which will use as an input to the recording/capture application whatever happens to be playing through the sound card (except for hardware inputs).
- Start Audacity (or other recording application). Make sure (in Audacity) that the Devices toolbar is visible:
- Menu -> Multimedia -> Audacity -> View -> Toolbars -> Device Toolbar (ticked)
Assuming you are using ALSA, make sure ALSA is selected, and that pulse is selected for both the output and microphone input on the Device Toolbar. Start recording.
- Start PulseAudio Volume Control. Under the Recording tab, you should see Audacity listed as "ALSA plugin: [audacity]: ALSA Capture from: Internal Audio Analog Stereo. If it isn't, then select it. (This is the tricky part that took me a long time to discover.)
Airport Express
Airport Express with Pulse Audio
Audio output can be streamed over your local network to an Airport Express. These capabilities require pulseaudio-module-zeroconf (for the Zeroconf/Bonjour networking protocol) and pulseaudio-module-raop (for Airport Express).
- Install PulseAudio:
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio
- Reboot to finish the installation.
- Select PulseAudio as the output device in
- Menu -> System -> System Settings -> Multimedia -> Device Preference
- and move "Playback/recording through the PulseAudio sound server" to the top of every category (or at least the ones for which you wish to use PulseAudio).
- Test some audio (e.g. playback through Amarok) to make sure the PulseAudio system is working. Some applications specifically require that the PulseAudio output is specified in their configuration settings, and some applications require a separate PulseAudio plugin to function properly.
- Install additional modules in order to use Bonjour/Zeroconf and raop (Airport Express output):
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-module-zeroconf pulseaudio-module-raop
- Install utilities to control the preferences and volume of various PulseAudio devices:
sudo apt-get install paprefs pavucontrol
- Enable discovery of the Airport Express by PulseAudio:
- Menu -> Settings -> PulseAudio Preferences (Sound Audio preferences) -> Network Access
and check both:
- Make discoverable network sound devices available locally
- Make discoverable Apple Airtunes devices available locally
- It is not clear to me which ports need to remain unblocked in order for Bonjour/Zeroconf and mDNS to discover the AEx. mDNS and Bonjour/Zeroconf use ports 5353, 5000, and 6000. (The PulseAudio server uses port 4713.) However, even when I unblock these the AEx doesn't seem to be able to be discovered until I turn off the firewall completely. (Once the AEx is discovered I turn the firewall back on and then have no other problems). I usually just add the IP address of the Airport Express on the LAN to the list of firewall-allowed connections. (Doing this still doesn't allow it to be discovered, though, for unclear reasons. Still, as long as a connection to the IP address of the AEx is allowed, I can turn the firewall back immediately after the AEx is located by the Zeroconf discovery and everything continues to stream fine.)
- If your LAN's router allows traffic-shaping (QoS prioritization), giving priority to the traffic to/from the Airport Express can improve performance. Finally, be aware that screensavers can interrupt uninterrupted smooth audio output from a PC. If traffic to the AEx becomes choppy, disable your screensaver.
- Open PulseAudio Volume Control:
- Menu -> Multimedia -> PulseAudio Volume Control
- If the AEx has been successfully discovered (the firewall may have to be turned off temporarily in order for the AEx to be discovered) the name of the AEx should show up as an Output Device:
- PulseAudio Volume Control -> Output Device -> My AEx Name
- If desired, the AEx can be set as the default "fallback" output device to always be used:
- PulseAudio Volume Control -> Output Device -> My AEx Name -> click "Set as fallback" icon
- If it is not set as the default fallback output device, it must be manually selected as an output device each time.
- Start the application (such as Amarok or Audacious). To manually select which output device should be used, open PulseAudio Volume Control and choose the Playback output device for the application:
- PulseAudio Volume Control -> Playback -> ALSA plugin [Amarok]: ALSA Playback on: -> My AEx Name
- The output volume (for any of the output devices) can be set:
- PulseAudio Volume Control -> Output Device -> My AEx Name
This was my old method. It works, but is probably unnecessary (and loads a lot of additional modules).
- Install padvechooser (which also install paman, pavumeter, and paprefs):
sudo apt-get install padevchooser
- Padevchooser is an applet for the taskbar panel. The PulseAudio Manager is accessible through the applet. Start Manager:
- Menu -> Multimedia -> PulseAudio Device Chooser -> Manager -> Devices -> Sinks
- Select the Airport Express as the output device ("sink"):
My AEx is discovered, but I got no sound through it until I selected it as the default sink (output) by one of two methods:
- From the PulseAudio Device Chooser:
- Menu -> Multimedia -> PulseAudio Device Chooser -> Manager -> Devices -> Sinks
- I then noted the name of my Airport Express device to be raop.Base-Station-e60157.local, so I entered that as the sink:
- PulseAudio Device Chooser -> Default sink -> Other -> raop.Base-Station-e60157.local
raop-client (Airport Express streaming)
Another method to stream audio to the Airport Express uses raop-client, a tool written in Ruby. See information here.
GSTransmit (Airport Express streaming)
GSTransmit is a tool to allow GStreamer-based utilities to stream output to an Apple AirTunes Device (such as the Airport Express). It is available as a self-installing .deb file from the website.
Airfoil (Airport Express streaming)
You can stream media from a PC running Windows or Mac OS X connected to an Airport Express network to your (K)Ubuntu Linux desktop, using Airfoil. (Unfortunately you cannot send media output from (K)Ubuntu to the Airport Express network with Airfoil, only receive.) This can be useful in a distributed multimedia system, for example, in which your (K)Ubuntu PC is connected to a media center. You must be running Mono. You can download the .deb package at Rogue Amoeba. Installation instructions are at Rogue Amoeba Linux support.
Activate side-mouse-buttons in FireFox
Adding two lines to xorg.conf will activate side-mouse-buttons in FireFox.
- This should work with most brands of the 5-button mouse. Here is a list of mice that worked with this instruction.
- Logitech MX310
- Logitech MX510
- Logitech MX518
- Logitech MX700
- Logitech MX Revolution
- Intellimouse Explorer (first edition)
- Razer Copperhead
- Backup X.org configuration file
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
- Modify the X.org configuration file
kdesu kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf
- Find the Input Device section for your mouse and add two lines as shown below.
- You may also increase the number of buttons if your mouse has more than 7 -- just fix the rest of the section based upon the number of buttons.
- Note: "back/forward", "wheel click" & "tilt left/right" all count as buttons
- Change:
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" EndSection
- to:
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7" EndSection
For Synaptics Touchpads:
sudo apt-get install gsynaptics
For more info, see the Ubuntu help wiki.
Wacom Pen Tablets
Support for the Wacom pen tablet is integrated into Jaunty by default, including for hotplugging. For more info, see the Ubuntu documentation.
Fingerprint Readers
Remote Controls
LIRC (Infrared Remote Controls)
LIRC (Linux Infrared Control) allows you to use most infra-red remote controls. This can be installed from Menu -> Applications -> Ubuntu Software Center -> System -> lirc
- or
sudo apt-get install lirc
Remuco (Bluetooth and WiFi Remote Controls)
Remuco is a utility for controlling many multimedia players (such as VLC, Amarok, Rhythmbox, Audacious, and many others) using a Bluetooth or WiFi remote control. Each player has its own package. For example, the VLC package is named remuco-vlc and can be installed:
sudo apt-get install remuco-vlc
BlueZ is the package that allows Bluetooth connectivity in Ubuntu Linux. This package is included within the current kernel of Ubuntu. To add utilities to check whether your Bluetooth adapter's firmware is current, install:
sudo apt-get install bluez-utils bluez-firmware
then run
sudo dfutool
The Wiimote (Wii Remote Control) uses both Bluetooth and Infra-red technology. It communicates with Ubuntu Linux using the incorporated BlueZ Bluetooth drivers and/or LIRC drivers. (It can function with Bluetooth alone, however.) You will need a Bluetooth receiver on your PC (such as a Bluetooth USB stick or built-in Bluetooth receiver, for example). (Note: not all Bluetooth receivers will work with the Bluez drivers. Check this list or test yours first.)
- Install the cwiid Wiimote controller package and the lswm Wiimote discovery package:
sudo apt-get install wminput lswm
- Install the drivers (or just reboot):
modprobe uinput
- Note: You can also add uinput to the modules files so it loads automatically at bootup:
sudo echo "uinput" >>/etc/modules
Run (while pressing button 1/2 on the Wiimote):
sudo wminput
For more info, and to learn how to enable the infra-red functions, see this guide.
Wireless Cards
Atheros Cards
Atheros Wireless cards should work automatically with the new kernel by installing the proprietary driver. At installation, after the first reboot, you will be prompted whether to use the proprietary drivers.
It should no longer be necessary to install the following package:
sudo apt-get install madwifi-tools
These instructions for the Atheros 802.11 b/g integrated card are here for reference only (or if you wish to install them manually instead):
- Download the latest 'snapshot' driver from Madwifi. When I was doing it, the version was:
- Extract the files
- Make sure your linux headers and build-essential packages are installed:
sudo apt-get install build-essential sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
- Unload any drivers already running.
sudo ifconfig ath0 down sudo ifconfig wifi0 down
- Change to the directory where you extracted the driver.
cd <directory_where_driver_unzipped>
- From that directory, run the installation scripts:
cd scripts sudo ./madwifi-unload sudo ./find-madwifi-modules.sh $(uname -r) cd ..
- Complete the installation by compiling the source and installing it.
sudo make sudo make install
- Add the installed drivers to your system.
sudo modprobe ath_pci
Following this, Network Manager was able to see the wireless card and I was able to configure everything else (WEP / WPA key, etc.) from there.
Complete instructions are available at MadWifi UserDocs.
Atheros AR242x
Alternate instructions for installing the Atheros AR242x card are here.
3G protocols allow wide area cellular communications that include not only cellphone voice transmission but also integrated broadband internet connections. This can be integrated into a single device, or communications can be received through an EVDO adapter. Examples of 3G radio interfaces include Mobile WiMax, CDMA-2000, TD-CDMA, EDGE, and DECT. For info using 3G with the Ubuntu Network Manager, see this page. For additional info on using 3G with Ubuntu, see this guide.

Virgin Huawei e169
See this Ubuntu forum solution:
sudo gedit /etc/ppp/options
find the line that says:
and uncomment it (delete #)
this (I think) disables CHAP authentication
I also had to change the APN to VirginBroadband instead of VirginInternet which was the default, and now it's happy.
Other settings Number *99# Uname <your virgin username> PW <your virgin password>
EVDO Cards
EVDO cards include USB modems and adapters to receive wide-area cellular broadband Internet connections.
Sprint EVDO cards can be used most easily through KPPP. For instructions, read the Sprint Mobile Broadband Setup Guide. Also see the EVDO Forums.

This is a per-minute plan in which you can use Verizon broadband services through your cell phone (such as the Motorola RAZR) connected to your PC via a USB cable. See this guide.
Digital Cameras
See the Ubuntu webcam guide for more info. Many webcams that worked in Hardy Heron may not work in Intrepid Ibex. This may be due to a migration from v4l (video for Linux) to v4l2. See this discussion.
EasyCam2 is a utility for finding and installing drivers for your webcam. See these installation instructions.
Linux drivers for the digital iSight camera (connected by FireWire), using ALSA for sound, are here. The video component is already supported by current kernels (see here for more information).
Luvcview (USB webcam viewer)
Luvcview can be used to view your USB webcam to test it. Install:
sudo apt-get install luvcview
View your webcam:
luvcview -f yuv
Ubuntu can be installed on netbooks. (See this this page for laptop and netbook compatibility reviews.) At this time the Ubuntu Netbook Remix (or equivalent) is preferred to the standard Gnome-based desktop, especially for new users. Ubuntu Netbook Remix is provided to several individual netbook manufacturers (such as Asus and Acer) to be optimised for that device. (You can contact your specific netbook manufacturer for specific details on this product.) If you already have Ubuntu Netbook Remix (or eeebuntu Netbook Remix) installed, you can choose to add the full Ubuntu (Gnome) desktop, if you wish:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
- Asus eeePC 1000H
- Reduce font size one or two sizes, and set the screen DPI to 120.
- eeebuntu Netbook Remix is available for this device.
- Dell Mini 9
- Ubuntu Netbook Remix runs on this device well. See this guide.
- HP Mini 1000 Mi
- A custom edition of Ubuntu is installed on this version of this device. No additional configuration is necessary.
- Samsung NC10
- Some package should be installed for keyboard functions (FN Key+functions). The procedure to install these package is available in this forum.
Another method is to install Ubuntu onto your netbook from scratch using a USB flashdrive LiveCD.
Acer Aspire One
There are several Ubuntu-based and other Linux-based OS's specially customised for the Acer Aspire One. Some of them are:
- DebianAcerOne
- Kuki Linux
- Linux4One
- Lord-Linux
- eeebuntu Netbook Remix is available for this device as well. See this article for the necessary tweaks.
Also see the Ubuntu website for detailed tweaks and fixes. More useful information can be found in the Ubuntu Linux sub-forum at aspireoneuser.com
Mobile Devices
Ubuntu Linux offers an operating system for Mobile Devices (such as the Samsung Q1 Ultra or Elektrobit MIMD) with a unique and simplified interface. For more information see the Ubuntu MID Edition site.
MP3 / Video Players
Sansa Fuze
The Sansa Fuze is a very high quality MP3 audio as well as video player. It is recognized by default as a USB device in Ubuntu/Kubuntu. To convert videos into a format that can be copied to the player, use Video4Fuze.
- Download and install:
wget http://video4fuze.googlecode.com/files/fuzemux-0.1_amd64.deb wget http://video4fuze.googlecode.com/files/video4fuze-0.6_all.deb sudo dpkg -i fuzemux-0.1_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i video4fuze-0.6_all.deb
- Use fuzemux-0,1_i386 instead of fuzemux-0.1_amd64.deb if using a 32-bit OS.
- Start video4fuze from the command line:
or create a menu item with the Command: video4fuze.
- Convert files (mpg or mp4) using Video4Fuze. Do not use the Sansa Fuze player as the output folder, but use an output folder on your computer. Once the files have been converted, then copy them directly to a Video folder on the Sansa Fuze (using Nautilus in Ubuntu or Dolphin in Kubuntu).
- I like k9copy to extract something (that I have saved) on a DVD to an mp4 (.avi) first. The Sansa Fuze likes video at 224 x 176 and DivX 4/5, so I extract to those specifications:
- Menu -> Multimedia -> k9copy -> Input: DVD -> Output: MPEG-4 encoding -> folder icon: /home/user/Videos
- k9configure -> MPEG-4 -> Video -> Codec: MPEG-4 (DivX 4/5) -> Width: 224 -> Height: 176
- -> Audio: mp3 (lame) -> Bitrate: 128
I then use video4fuze to convert the extracted mp4 (.avi) into the format that the Sansa Fuze likes.
- Limitations: At this time Flash videos (.flv) cannot be converted directly by Video4Fuze. You must convert flash videos to another format (such as .mpg or mp4/.avi) prior to Video4Fuze conversion, using a converter such as mencoder or ffmpeg (e.g. with WinFF as the GUI).
MachSpeed Trio
The MachSpeed Trio works natively with (K)Ubuntu Linux. Files can be copied directly to the device from a File Manager (Dolphin or Nautilus).
- Video formats include .mpg, .flv and .avi. However, the screen is 7.5 cm x 4 cm, which is a 1.875 ratio (widescreen). If your video has a 1.33 ratio (fullscreen), you must add left and right padding to make it look normal. If your video is 320 x 240, for example, you must add left and right padding of 64 each (making it 448 x 240, which is approximately a 1.875 ratio).
- In addition, I found I had to convert some videos twice (using ffmpeg) to get it into a format the Trio would accept. For example, I have a 160x120 .avi video I recorded on my camera. (This requires 32 padding on each side instead of 64.) There was a 2 step conversion required to get it into a format the Trio liked:
ffmpeg -i cameravideo.avi -target ntsc-dvd -s 160x120 tempvideo.avi ffmpeg -i tempvideo.avi -padleft 32 -padright 32 triovideo.avi
- The first step does whatever it takes to get the video into a NTSC-compatible format. However, it encodes into the ac3 audio codec, which the Trio doesn't like. The second step converts the audio from the ac3 format to the default mp2 audio format (which the Trio likes better) as well as adds the padding (which in reality can be done in either step). I have tried to simplify this into a single command but haven't figured out how to do it yet.
- I then copy the converted file directly onto the Trio, where it plays.

Daron Johnson did not intend to grow up and become a mystery writer. The Baptist missions worker and son of Paul and Carolyn Johnson, of Chiefland, did not like to read books until he was 18, even though he did enjoy writing.
But as the author of "Thornhill — Chasing the Treasure," he has found a niche in writing.
"It's the first one, I'm working on the second one right now," Johnson said in a telephone interview from Richmond, Va., where he works as a consultant for the Southern Baptist International Mission Board.

Considering the way things have gone early for the Long Beach State men's basketball team, it was no surprise to hear coach Dan Monson's response when asked to size up Fresno State, which plays host to the 49ers today at 1 p.m. in a nonconference game.
"We're more concerned about ourselves right now," Monson said. "To beat any Division I team, we have to get ourselves figured out. We have to find an identity to hang our hat on."
The 49ers (1-3) are fresh off a 94-72 loss at No. 10 Arizona on Monday. They are shooting just 38.8 percent from the field, getting outrebounded 42-35.5, averaging 18.7 turnovers and shooting just 63.9 percent from the free-throw line.
To top it off, senior wing James Ennis, arguably Long Beach's best player, sat out the first few minutes of the Arizona game when he showed up to the team bus late and without his game plan.
"James is a captain of this team, so it all starts at the top," Monson said. "Right now, we're trying to get our offense and our defense on the same page. We're trying to get our players disciplined and on the same page, so we have to get our captains and our leaders on board, first and foremost.
"My expectations of James are very high right now. It wasn't like I was trying to make an example out of him. The only way to get his attention was to take something away from him, and we took away starting."
The 49ers today will need Ennis to be at his best against the Bulldogs, who are 3-1 and coming off a 76-67 victory over Cal Poly on Monday. That gave Fresno State a 3-0 record against Big West Conference teams this season; the Bulldogs also beat UC Riverside and Pacific.
Leading Fresno State have been guard Allen Huddleston, a transfer from Pacific; forward Kevin Foster; and guard Kevin Olekaibe. They are averaging 13.3, 12.8 and 10 points, respectively. Foster, who is 6-foot-8, is averaging 9.0 rebounds.
Another player to watch is freshman post Robert Upshaw, who is 7-foot.
"We know right now that they have had a better (start) than us, so we're excited to go over and see if we can improve enough this week to go over there and compete," Monson said.
Gulley impressive
One of the bright spots for the 49ers has been sophomore wing Kris Gulley. He is averaging 9.3 points, having started three of four games. He's shooting 54.2 percent from the field, 55.6 (10 for 18) from 3-point range.
That's easily the best among regulars. Gulley is averaging 5.3 rebounds, third-best on the team.
"I'm pleased with Kris," Monson said. "I think Kris is coachable. He stretches the defense. He can shoot the ball. More than that, I like his activity. He's active rebounding, active defensively and just brings us another guy like James and Mike (Caffey) who can do more than just score."
Watson still with redshirt
With freshman guard Branford Jones out indefinitely (broken fibula) and junior guard Jerramy King out for the season (shoulder injury), Monson was asked if freshman guard Javion Watson will be pulled out of redshirt status.
"We've talked about it, but a player's career comes over more important than eight games," Monson said. "I don't think depth is our problem right now. In games we're going eight, nine deep and we have three kids coming in; we could go 10, 11 deep. That's a pretty deep basketball team.
"I'm not going to jeopardize his career just because we took some kids who are going to miss some games early in the (nonconference) season."
The three Monson spoke of are transfers guard Keala King, forward Tony Freeland and post Edgar Garibay. Unless King and/or Freeland have their hardship waivers approved, none of the three will be available until the Dec. 18 game at UCLA. They would actually miss the first 10 games, all nonconference.
Monson said Watson's redshirt situation might be a different story if conference games were going to be affected. The 49ers open conference play Dec. 29 against Pacific.

The same great battery life huh kind of sounds like what they said for the iphone 4s to :/
It has to have more ram. Especially if iPhoto can supposedly support 75MB, 19MP photos. Right? Or did I read that wrong?
Why don't they ever tell us this. It's kind of a big deal.
Question will the Canadian Ipad be more like the Verizon or the AT&T one?
Looks like I'm going to be ordering it, but I want an iPad which could potentially work on LTE abroad let's say Canada.
Yeah, I wonder why they don't ever mention that too. I guess it's because a lot of people confuse memory with storage space.. At least that's what I've noticed when trying to explaing to people what it is.
I'm hoping it has 1GB of ram, though they could have only put 768MB in it. I'm sure we'll find out as soon as someone has one to take apart.
I don't like that they call it the "New iPad" because that will get confusing when the next iPad comes out next year. IPad 3 or iPad HD would have been better.
and still its called slower than its predecessor (yeah i know this doesn't have to do that much with ram)
+the fact that nvidea has already challenged that slide to let Apple come with real statistics because they don't believe it.
yeah thats right apple didn't even post statistics for it so i call it a ******** argument
second i think if they came with some results to backup the claim it would probs say that the tegra was slower in an area that doesn't matter much in performance while the tegra would be more competetive in important area's.
because thats how slideshows roll
and yeah, this trick is preformed by alot of companies so i don't really blame apple.
and since android still doesnt have the app for tablets you'll still need an ipad to game. but it doesnt really come down to the hardware
The Galaxy Tabs are just as expensive as iPads and these Android devices have higher specs but crappy software. They seem to throw in a lot of pricey parts but don't think enough about bringing out the potential in those parts. Neglecting the part productivity and software usability requires the consumer to replace the product in a shorter amount of time! Therefore, the consumer spends more money!!!
I.E. How many PCs will you go through versus owning 'one' Mac??? If your PC does last you a long time, how many hours have you spent cleaning it up because of malware, spyware, viruses, etc.???
A Mac owner doesn't worry like a PC owner does.....just like an iDevice owner doesn't worry as much as an Android owner
...BTW, I used to be all about PC and have since converted to Mac after getting tired of constantly restoring my computers cuz of something stupid I clicked on. What a waste of time....

The first card since the initial annoucement for Knights of the Frozen Throne has been revealed by C4mlann earlier this morning.
Let's take a look at the first KotFT card officially revealed by C4mlann.
Blizzard kicks off the reveal with a card that seems unplayable in all currently popular decks, and subpar in arena. Although some players have suggested silence priest as a potential target, Ticking Abomination is actually detrimental to play without a form of silence in hand, unlike other popular silence targets. The caveat here is that since this is one the first card revealed, we don't actually know what's in store. Might there be a way to transfer Deathrattle effects to enemy minions? Will KotFT control decks play no minion before turn 5? One potential use for this one might lie in "forcing" your opponent to trigger your own Deathrattle effects with a high value card, but we'll have to wait and see. We might even see something that gives Deathrattle effects Lifesteal, the expansion's new mechanic, for some minion-based healing.
For more information, please check out our guide to the new Hearthstone expansion.

A new Tavern Brawl has been introduced this week by Ahune the Frost Lord himself.
In this Brawl, you will play as either Uther or Jaina. They both have premade decks and Uther is reportedly slightly better than Jaina, which is interesting since Mage usually dominates in Tavern Brawls.
Here is Uther's deck:
Jaina uses a Reno deck, minus the Reno:
Both heroes are immune to damage and they cannot be healed nor keep armor. The only way to damage them is by killing the Ragnaros? minions. These are 1/4 minions and there is one of them at each side of the board. They cannot attack and upon death they deal 4 damage to the opponent of the current player. This means that you can kill both minions (the one on your side and the one on your opponent's side) and your opponent will take all the damage. Moreover, once a Ragnaros? dies, a new one will appear thus making it possible to kill multiple of them in one turn.
Some tips you should know:
If the game reaches the fatigue stage, in the next round the enemy that has the least amount of health will automatically die and their opponent will be crowned as the winner. At the moment, Ice Block and Eye for an Eye seem to be bugged and they are not working as intended. This will be fixed soon. Bomb Squad and Ancient Curse deal no actual damage to you, so don't be afraid! This is the 110th Brawl and it's part of the Frost Festival. If you want to find out more about the Frost Festival, check our main article on it.
By Zadina
As Ragnaros' Midsummer Fire Festival has ended, it is time for Ahune the Frost Lord to take over with the Frost Festival!
As we explained in our previous post, this is a holiday that celebrates Arena mode. Once you log in the game, you will see that Ahune is giving you a free Arena ticket for this week. This will happen for the entire duration of the festival, so in total you will get three free Arena keys.
You will also get a free win each time you start an Arena run, whether it's from a free or a purchsed entrance key.
You will also get a quest to play three Arena games. This weekly quest awards you with a Knights of the Frozen Throne card pack. Once again, you will receive this quest next week and the week after that accounting for a total of three Knights of the Frozen Throne packs (assuming you complete the quests).
Feel free to check out our Arena guides and card rankings before you step into the Arena!
As far as the themed Tavern Brawl called Ahune's Superior Brawl is concerned, you can read more about it here.
The Frost Festival has created speculation for the next expansion. Since it will run for three weeks, it is going to end on August 9. The day after that, August 10, is thought by many to be the date that Knight of the Frozen Throne will be released.

Well, after the failed interview with Ben Brode and his dreams of being a Hearthstone developer squashed, the Lord of the Scourge decided to prove himself an accomplished entrepreneur and take what he's naturally good at - making ice - and adding cream. And so, behold the new ICC, Arthas' latest wondrous edifice: the Ice Cream Citadel.
Of course, true to form, Blizzard took this little in-joke all the way and will have the Ice Cream Citadel, an actual ice cream shop, at the Petco Park Interactive Zone in San Diego near San Diego Comic-Con®, featuring two flavors: Villain-illa and Scourgeberry Sorbet.

Greetings, mortal whelps!
As part of my efforts to prove to the accursed Brode that I possess the necessary experience to command the Hearthstone development team, I have decided to expand my efforts to all aspects of mortal enterprise.
At first I considered peddling power and vengeance, but according to my focus testing, the foremost human craving seems to be for cold, creamy, sweetened sludge. I have decided to create a frozen-cream sugar-ooze unlike any you have ever tasted. You will desire it.
Prepare yourselves for the grand opening of Ice Cream Citadel, a fortress of refreshment in the scorching heat that afflicts this place. I will be on hand to personally help you conquer the heat with free ice cream. You need spend no money for your first taste of my power.
Choose from an endless selection of TWO flavors:
Behold my tasteful brochure:
Attend the Petco Park Interactive Zone in San Diego near San Diego Comic-Con® and be guided to your just desserts by this map:
You may also take photographs of me with no immediate fear of retribution. Share proof of your delicious ice cream conquests on social media using the #icecreamcitadel "hashtag," whatever that means.
Begin preparations for your journey now. Ice Cream Citadel will receive supplicants between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. PDT July 20 through July 22, and 9:00 am to 5:00 pm PDT on July 23.

Hearthstone Game Director Ben Brode did an AMA on reddit yesterday and here's a summary with the most interesting highlihts.
Blizzard didn't want to reveal 1 card a day for the new expansion, because the feedback they were getting was that hype was slowing down as they got closer to the expansion. Cards will be revealed on July 24. They would like to make Handlock a thing again, but Brode's worried with their ability to make Handlock insane in Standard going forward, with new cards, without pushing it into insanity in Wild. It can be done in Wild by moving cards that are buffing it, or by making entirely new cards in Standard that are good in both formats. When asked about free cards on a weekly rotation, Brode said they wouldn't be doing it due to its complexity, but the team is exploring other options with similar, less complex goals. The team internally experiments with various formats to keep the game fresh e.g. by changing the ladder format for the last month of a set. Each class will have a hero card and a legendary minion in Knights of the Frozen Throne expansion. New ladder experience is in the works with the goals to reduce the monthly grind for top-level players, increase progression for bottom 25% of player, better match-making and improve new player ranked experience. Hearthstone won't be coming to consoles anytime soon. Ice Block is a card that matches their red flags for cards that shouldn't be in Standard forever. They will continue to add more features to the collection manager. The team will make a new Druid and Warlock hero. Regarding Tyrande, the goal was to find alternative ways for regions that were not eligible for the offer to get access to Tyrande and they've been working with their regional offices to make it happen. More minion-placement cards will be added to the game. Blizzard's working on a way to provide more stats to players, but Brode doesn't like "profile" pages. The main goals with the upcoming ladder rework are Reduce grind for top-level players Increase progression for players stuck at rank 20-ish Get better matchmaking for bottom 25% players Make experience better for new players The biggest challenging is making those things better without losing what they like about the current system. Specating mode is definitely a place with a lot of room for improvement. New opportunities are on the horizon to earn packs of the new set through upcoming events and single-player missions that will be free with the new set. They're going to bring back Wild cards for sale, which should make Wild more accessible. No plans to add another class, they have plans for more unique things for Warlocks and a 10th class wouldn't be helpful. The time should be spent to make the core classes more fun. Adding the Hall of Fame in Un'Goro and hitting those 6 cards allowed them to see the "freshest" meta yet. Changes to arena rewards are coming. Details TBA. Hero cards are a new thing that replaces your hero, not transforms them. (Source)

MARYSVILLE — A Marysville police officer whose 3-year-old son found his father's handgun and killed his sister has been fired.
The decision to terminate Derek Carlile's employment followed a lengthy internal investigation by the Marysville Police Department.
Last year, Snohomish County prosecutors dropped a criminal case against the Marysville patrol officer after a judge declared a mistrial when a jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict. Seven of 12 jurors voted to acquit Carlile of second-degree manslaughter.
In a written statement released Monday, city spokesman Doug Buell said: "As a result of the findings of a police department internal affairs investigation, Derek Carlile's employment with the city of Marysville has been terminated, effective immediately. Because the nature of this release regards a personnel matter, no further comment by the city of Marysville will be made."
Carlile can appeal the decision through a grievance procedure outlined in the police union contract, Marysville police Cmdr. Robb Lamoureux said. The appeal, which must be filed within 60 days, would go through the city manager.
If that fails, he can file for arbitration with the Public Employment Relations Commission.
There was no indication on Monday whether Carlile plans to appeal.
Neither the police union nor Carlile's attorney during the criminal trial responded to messages seeking comment Monday.
The internal investigation began after the criminal trial in November.
"We are not making any comments at all on the internal investigation," Lamoureux said.
Prosecutors accused Carlile of manslaughter, saying he acted with negligence on March 10, 2012, when he left a loaded .38 caliber handgun within reach of his four children, ages 1 to 7, while they were briefly left alone in the family van.
Carlile also failed to engage the gun's locking safety, or to store his off-duty weapon in the locking compartment on the driver's door. He usually wore the gun in a holster on his ankle.
The officer, his wife and children were on their way to a wedding, when they stopped to talk with a family friend. They were standing nearby when the fatal shot was fired.
Prosecutors told the jury that their 3-year-old son was fascinated with guns and grabbed his father's revolver from a cup holder next to the driver's seat.
Carlile attempted life-saving efforts. Jenna, 7, died at the hospital. She was a student at Utsalady Elementary School on Camano Island, where the family lived.
At trial, Carlile wept when witnesses described what happened that day. His attorney argued that the distraught father made a tragic mistake, but did not commit a crime.
The Marysville Police Department placed Carlile on administrative leave immediately after the shooting. City officials promised a thorough review of the incident to determine if he had violated department policies.
Carlile became a police officer in 2009. During the criminal investigation, detectives obtained a copy of a firearms study guide from the state's police academy, where Carlile received his training. One of the chapters addresses concerns about children and firearms safety, listing some common misconceptions, including the ideas that children don't know how guns work or they aren't strong enough to use them, court papers said.

Aging is the single greatest risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. In their latest study,researchers led by Andrew Dillin, associate professor in the Salk Institute Molecular and Cell Biology Laboratory, found that simply slowing the aging process in mice prone to develop Alzheimer's disease prevented their brains from turning into a neuronal wasteland.
Published in Cell, their finding is the latest clue in Salk scientists' quest to shed light on the question of whether Alzheimer's disease onset late in life is a disastrous consequence of the aging process itself or whether the beta amyloid aggregates that cause the disease simply take a long time to form.
"In this study, we went directly to the root cause of Alzheimer's disease and asked whether we could influence the onset of the disease by modulating the aging process," says first author Ehud Cohen.
To answer this intriguing question, he slowed the aging process in a mouse model for Alzheimer's by lowering the activity of the IGF-1 signaling pathway, which plays a crucial role in the regulation of lifespan and youthfulness across many species. As a result, mice with reduced IGF-1 signaling lived up to 35 percent longer than normal mice.
Cohen then employed a battery of behavioral tests and concluded that chronologically old but biologically young animals appeared nearly normal long after age-matched, normal-aging Alzheimer's mice exhibited severe impairments in their ability to find a submerged platform in the Morris water maze or stay atop a revolving Rota Rod.
"Our study opens up a whole new avenue of looking at the disease," says Dillin, a Howard Hughes Medical Investigator. "Going forward, looking at the way we age may actually have more impact on the treatment and prevention of Alzheimer's disease than studying the basic biology of the disease itself.
"This work is a celebration for the entire field of aging researchers, as it validates the long-held hypothesis that genetic and pharmacologic changes to create a healthy lifespan, or 'healthspan,' can greatly reduce the onset of some of the most devastating diseases that afflict mankind," he adds.

PULITZER JUDGES CAN'T FIND ANYTHING GOOD TO READ: We are, for something like the 35th consecutive year, miffed at the Pulitzers.
The source of our miffage changes from year to year. Sometimes we're a bit bitter because the panelists ignored us, but we've grown cozily accustomed to that by now. We have developed Pulitzer callouses when it comes to its judges' annual rebuff of our yearly canon.
As long as they continue to have an unseemly bias toward the Philadelphia Inquirer's exploration of pervasive violence in the city's schools to stir reforms to improve safety for teachers and students rather than our exploration of where to find the best corn dog in town, we fear we shall remain medallionless.
Our beef this year is over the Pulitzer's high-falutin' decision to not come up with a worthy selection for fiction for the first time in 35 years (when it could not bring itself to give the 1977 award to Norman Maclean's masterful "A River Runs Through It").
Given the choices, we would've gone with Denis Johnson's "Train Dreams," a novella of hard work in the Old West that seems epic and sprawling beyond its scant 128 pages. There. Done.
"Train Dreams" was one of the three novels winnowed as finalists from the year's output of American authors. The other two were Karen Russell's "Swamplandia!" a delightful and strange tale of growing up in an alligator-wrasslin' theme park; and the late David Foster Wallace's "The Pale King," roughly about the fascinating ennui with which IRS accountants grapple.
It's easy to make a case for "Swamplandia!" Wallace died before his novel was complete and while it's full of unmistakable Wallacisms, it surely isn't the book the fastidious author would have eventually released. And Johnson's "Train Dreams" first appeared in The Paris Review in 2002 (as you will recall).
The three judges for the Pulitzer's fiction category were Pulitzer-winner Michael Cunningham and critics Susan Larson (late of the New Orleans Times-Picayune) and NPR's Maureen Corrigan who, in her year-end wrap-up of fiction, chose "Swamplandia!" as the No. 1 book, with "Train Dreams" and "The Pale King" coming in at the No. 9 and No. 10 positions.
We're a reasonable man. Put us in that judges' room (and we are no stranger to judges' rooms) and if it came down to us, we'd have gone with "Trains," but if it came down to a hung jury, we could certainly live with "Swamplandia!"
Though the best book of the year, really, was Chad Harbach's "The Art of Fielding." But, then, we're a corn dog kind of guy.
THE QUEEN WILL ROCK: Here's something we were going to have in our Tuesday column before we inexplicably ran out of space.
Ashley Hectus - who we could go on and on about but won't until Monday, when she'll be subjected to our unflinching question-and-answer column - has taken on her role as the Queen Mary's Queen of Rock with great enthusiasm, resulting in what should be a spectacular evening of music in the Rock the Queen event aboard the parked ship on April 28.
The headliner will be the Rival Sons, an amazing group that will bring great, great joy to fans of the muscular blues-rock sound of Led Zeppelin, Free and Humble Pie. The group is skyrocketing right now, having captured the title of iTunes 2011 Breakthrough Band of the Year. YouTube them now if you haven't heard them.
The joyful noise of rock will be heard throughout the ship. The Queen's Salon is the big room, with the Rival Sons headlining at 10 p.m., and a TBA group kicking things off at 8.
The Royal Salon will house the tribute bands No Duh (No Doubt) at 7:30 p.m.; Debaser (the Pixies) at 9:30 p.m.; and TNT (AC/DC) at 11 p.m.
And an assortment of performers, including the triumphant return to Long Beach of Chris Hanlin, will be playing acoustic music throughout the evening in the Observation Bar.
Tickets are $20 and parking is just $5 - a $7 savings over the usual $12 price.
It's an all-ages show, except for the Observation Bar. Because it's a bar.
PHISH TIX: We were misinformed about the price of the tickets for the Aug. 15 Phish concert at the Long Beach Arena. All seats and places to stand are $60 (not $50). They go on sale April 27 at Ticketmaster and the Arena box office.
LEVON: Rolling Stone magazine reports that the website for Levon Helm, the drummer-singer of the Band, ran the sad message Tuesday that "Levon is in the final stages of his battle with cancer. Please send your prayers and love to him as he makes his way through this part of his journey. Thank you fans and music lovers who have made his life so filled with joy and celebration ... he has loved nothing more than to play, to fill the room up with music, lay down the back beat, and make the people dance! He did it every time he took the stage."
He certainly did it every time we saw him.

Hans Zimmer and Johnny Marr Performing the Inception Movie Score
Aug 6, 2010 Line 6 General
By Line6Angela On July 13th, Hans Zimmer and Johnny Marr did a live performance of some of the score from the Inception soundtrack. Johnny Marr used the M9 Stompbox Modeler in the recording of the soundtrack and during the performance. Honestly, I hadn't paid much attention to the news on Inception until I had got […]

There is an easier way to save changes, make a ext2/3 partition and add changes=/dev/sda2 to the APPEND line in syslinux.cfg, search on the forums.
I also think SV was working on a automated installer capeable of using the save changes function.
I got Backtrack 3 beta working on an USB Stick. And i want to save the changes on the system i have made. In the Tutorial it says :
Ok thats done ! BUT ! I dont unterstand the second part ...After having produced the personalization, open the console and digit dir2lzm /mnt/live/memory/changes changes.lzm (changes.lzm or pippo.lzm ...) changes.lzm you have in root folder, paste in USB modules folder (BT/modules). A reboot you ave saved setting up. -bzImage
Can somebody say me what exactly i have to type in the KonsoleThere is an issue after you save to changes.lzm and boot from the module then make new changes and try to save them because you only get the new changes and not the previous. Then create new changes and have to save them. Seems you have to copy /mnt/live/memory/changes to a tmp dir then merge /mnt/live/memory/images/changes.lzm/ onto the tmp dir. Then turn that into a new module to load. -Kinchyle
Sorry for my bad english and thanks for answers !
Greetings Aquired
There is an easier way to save changes, make a ext2/3 partition and add changes=/dev/sda2 to the APPEND line in syslinux.cfg, search on the forums.
I also think SV was working on a automated installer capeable of using the save changes function.
I posted a step-by-step guide on my blog, n00bhacker.blogspot.com, or thenewbiehacker.com
Thing is, I have a 1gb USB. And BT3 takes about 700mb. Would 100 mb suffice for BT3 files that are going to be stored? Also, on your blog you wrote:
"The second partition of 0.5GB has to be an ext2 partition to save the changes. This will not be recognized by Windows."
Does this mean that my 300mb that is left will not be able to be used on Windows?
Also, you go on to instruct that:
"Double click on 'My Computer', then on 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' ==> 'SYSTEM' ==> 'ControlSet001'==>'Enum'==>'USBSTOR' ."
I don't have control set 001. I only have controlset002 and onwards.
Omg I'm lost.
Thanks for answers i will try it out !
1. Will 300MB be enogh for changes? Yes, it will for starters. Obviously, if you'll use it regularly and install tons of programs, you can eventually run out of space.
2. Will the ext2 partition be inaccessible in Windows. Yes. Therefore, since you have a total of 700MB on the fat partition, this stick will be fully dedicated to the amazing BackTrack OS. That's not such a bad thing, is it?
3. I don't have a controlset001. Did you install your stick already and is it working? If not, when you install it, it should create the controlset. Is not, see if you have a similar entry in the other controlset, and try copying that. But I'm not sure about that.
(Also, you go on to instruct that:
"Double click on 'My Computer', then on 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' ==> 'SYSTEM' ==> 'ControlSet001'==>'Enum'==>'USBS..., I'm assuming you didn't look for the Key in 'My Computer', and you followed all the steps.
Is it possible to keep the 300 mb of space visible on my USB and instead, make all changes to my HDD and somehow get my HDD to run while using backtrack3?
[quote=merlin051;65868]... easier way to save changes, make a ext2/3 partition and add changes=/dev/sda2 in syslinux.cfg,
8 GB usb stick drive, BT3 beta downloaded as bt3b141207,
1 gb ext2 partition on stick drive (/dev/sda3), changes= parameter (cheatcode) in syslinux.cfg. Results: message in second phase of boot to the effect that changes will only be made to live memory, and, in fact, no changes written to partition on stick drive.
Other posts on this board describe same/similar problem. One claims creating a directory in the partition solved the problem. (Tried that in my case - didn't). Slax documentation says: "... one can boot slax with changes=/dev/hda1 for example, then all changes are stored on hda1 partition and are auto-used next time, without any problem. Works like a charm."
For some.... it may. Right now, with the slax code that is in today's download, I beleieve it doesn't work.
This post gets the "..sorry for previously posting somewhat prematurely" award, but, having been unable to get SLAX to boot with and use a /dev/sda3 changes partition in ext2 format, I then ....
- reformatted the partition ext3 (for no good reason - just trying things)
- put the "changes=" text toward the beginning of the APEND line in syslinux.cfg (I do not think it makes any difference)
- tried to boot and had boot fail with the "mountings aufs on union failed ... This should never happen..." message.
- booted successfully using a boot option that does not include the changes= parameter (cheatcode). KDE without a changes=
- looked at the /sda3 device, opened it in file manager, noted that the system had put "images," "lost+found," and "xino" directories in from the root.
- left those there (for a change -- I had before seen them once while fussing and, in a tantrum, just deleted them on the theory that they couldn't possibly be helping...)
- added a directory called "changes" (small "c" with an "s")
- rebooted
- correct aufs mount; aufs device shown in the "storage devices" window, all good -- and saving changes.
- I continue to believe there is a problem lurking in the SLAX distribution / union (aufs) file system. Exaclty where I don't know. True, I might have had partition or partition formatting problems (I have been using Paragon Partition Manager 8.51 - just becuase it is convenient and saves typing, and it may not be doing everything correctly...). But my guess is that when SLAX is looking for the "changes" directory (which, by specification, it isn't supposed to need) it isn't doing perfectly well looking at the usb stick (disk) structure.... Until ---- what? Until it has mounted the device before? Until it once finds it, and doesn't have to pop through a couple of deleted directory entries? Or it is confused between what is genuinely only readable -- like a CD, and what can be written -- like a partition on a usb stick?

Gloria - from Southbridge, MA
The best flour would be the flour called for in the recipe you are following. Flour comes in several varieties, based on the amount of protein in the flour. The higher the protein level, the chewier and stiffer the final product will be. Flour with less protein results in a softer, more tender, final product. Cake flour has the lowest amount of protein of any flour, which helps cakes be more tender. All-purpose flour is most commonly called for in recipes. Bread flour has the most protein, and should only be used when baking bread.

Long story short my NTFS Drive was infected with a nasty rootkit and I decided to do away with it. Later down the line I wanted to reallocate the freespace to the BT partition, since the NTFS partition was on the 1st cylinder and separated from the reiserfs partition by an ext2 boot and swap I could not do that without deleting both the ext2 and swap and starting them at the first cylinder. 9 Hours later I have a partition that looks like so...
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 32 257008+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 33 542 4096575 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda4 543 30401 239842417+ 83 Linux
I booted from my USB and ran:
root@bt:~# mkdir /mnt/bt4
root@bt:~# mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/bt4
root@bt:~# mkdir /mnt/bt4/boot
mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/bt4/boot': File exists
root@bt:~# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/bt4/boot
root@bt:~# mkdir /mnt/bt4/{dev,mnt,tmp,proc,sys}
root@bt:~# mount -t proc proc /mnt/bt4/proc/
root@bt:~# mount -o bind /dev /mnt/bt4/dev/
root@bt:~# chroot /mnt/bt4/ /bin/bash
root@bt:/# nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
Here is a copy of the menu.lst
Timeout 30 #The number of seconds GRUB should wait before booting an OS

initrd /initrd.img-220.127.116.11

Somewhere in the process of all this it screwed up the GRUB bootloader. How do I go from here and make it so it will boot /dev/sda4 clean from /dev/sda1?

Can You Outsmart Your Smartphone?
Safety tips to protect your mobile device:
- Know the default settings of your Smartphone, if there are settings you are unsure about turn them off. Better safe than sorry.
- Check to see if your phones operating system has encryption available. This can be used to protect the user's personal data in case of theft or loss.
- Users should look at reviews of the developer/company who published the application before purchasing.
- Review and understand the permissions you are giving when you download applications.
- Passcode protect your mobile device, be sure to enable the screen lock feature after a few minutes of inactivity.
- Obtain malware protection for your mobile device. Here are some reviews for the best antivirus and malware for your smartphone.
- Be aware of applications that enable Geo-location (this includes Photos in iPhone, social media especially). The application will track the user's location anywhere. This application can be used for marketing, but can be used by malicious attackers, raising concerns of assisting a possible stalker and/or burglaries. This video examples what was previously stated.
- Although jailbreaking or rooting your Smartphone sounds "cool" or "unique", you can cause a lot of damage. When you jailbreak or root your phone, you remove certain restrictions put in place by the device manufacturer or cell phone carrier, this often involves exploiting significant security vulnerabilities and increases the possibility of an attack on the device. It allows any compromise to take full control of the device, and any information you have stored.
- Do not allow your device to connect to unknown wireless networks. In some cases it is better to leave your WiFi off.
- If you decide to sell your device or trade it in, make sure you wipe the device (reset it to factory default) to avoid leaving personal data on the device.
- Smartphones require updates to run applications and firmware. If users neglect this, it increases the risk of having their device hacked or compromised.
- Avoid clicking on or downloading software or links from unknown sources. This includes applications from an "app" store.
- Use the same precautions on your mobile phone as you would on your computer when using the Internet.
If you have been a victim of an internet scam or have received an e-mail that you believe was an attempted scam, please file a complaint at www.IC3.gov.

Already under court supervision for his last arrest by NYC police, Alec Baldwin faced arrest yesterday in the Hamptons after he put a photographer in a headlock when he caught the photographer taking photos of Alec and Hilaria and their child. The photographer was taking the photos from a safe distance but then Hilaria started yelling at the guy and then Alec ran over and put the guy in a headlock while a policeman was watching. The police officer was ready to arrest Alec, but the pap decided not to press charges which got him a handshake and an apology from Alec. Wasn't anger management part of his previous plea deal with the court? The guy has issues.

Scarlett Johansson: "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" Cutie
Showing off her stage acting skills, Scarlett Johansson starred in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" in New York City last night (December 20).
The "In Good Company" chick is starring as Maggie the Cat in the Tennessee Williams classic, currently running at the Richard Rodgers Theater.
Of her role in the play, Scarlett told press, "I think her sexuality is often overplayed and over-appreciated. It's such an unimportant part of this story."
"I mean, it comes with the circumstance, of course, and the settling and the words—that's already there. There's no need to drape yourself all over the stage and roll around in a satin sheet."

Students, faculty and staff are taking on Eve Ensler's award-winning play The Vagina Monologues at Francis Marion University to promote gender, domestic violence and sexual assault awareness and raise money for the Pee Dee Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault.
The university in conjunction with the Gender Awareness Committee, Gender Studies Program, and the Fine Arts Program hosts the sixth annual V-Day/V-Week events during the week of Feb. 25-March 2. There will be two performances of The Vagina Monologues. The first will be on Thursday, Feb. 28 at 7:30 p.m. in the Chapman Auditorium and the second will take place at the Black Box Theatre at FMU's Performing Arts Center on Saturday, March 2 at 7:30 p.m. The MADWOMAN fashion show will take place following the showing ($10 General Admission plus $3 processing fee).
A poignant and humorous tour of the ultimate forbidden zone, The Vagina Monologues is a celebration of female sexuality in all its complexity and mystery. In the stunning phenomenon that has swept the nation, Ensler gives real women's stories of intimacy, vulnerability and sexual self-discovery.
"Based on interviews with more than 200 women about their memories and experiences of sexuality, the play gives voice to women's deepest fantasies and fears," said FMU English Professor and Faculty Chair Rebecca Flannagan, an organizer of the event. "It's hilarious, empowering, radical and just a really good time."
This year's "V-Day" events for the week will feature a myriad of other activities and is part of the "V-Day" event celebrated during this time of year at colleges and universities worldwide.
On Monday, Feb. 25, there will be a Take Back the Night Event in the Heyward Community Center at 6 p.m. A reception and the kick-off of the Clothesline Project will also be held.
On Tuesday, Feb. 26, there will be a staged reading of The Foreplays in Kassab Recital Hall at 7:30 p.m. This event is free and open to the public. The Clothesline Project will continue each day on the Founder's Hall Lawn from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m., until Saturday, March 2.
This project is a vehicle for women affected by violence to express their emotions by decorating a shirt. They then hang the shirt on a clothesline to be viewed by others as testimony to the problem of violence against women.
On Thursday, Feb. 28, a women's health event, "Any One of Us" will be held in the Lee Nursing Building Lobby from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m., followed by the MADWOMAN Art Exhibit in the lobby of Chapman Auditorium from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. Following The Vagina Monologues performance at 7:30 p.m., ($10 General Admission/$8 FMU Students; Chapman Auditorium) is a reception sponsored by the Pee Dee and a MADWOMAN fashion show.
Proceeds from V-Week events benefit the Pee Dee Coalition Against Domestic & Sexual Abuse.
Further information about V-Day is available at www.vday.org. For more information about the week of events, contact Flannagan at (843) 661-1516 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Poison Control
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

What to Expect at the Emergency Room
The patient may be sedated and placed in restraints to avoid hurting himself or herself.
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate.
Outlook (Prognosis)
The outcome depends on several factors including:
- The amount of PCP in the body
- The time between taking the drug and receiving treatment
Recovery from the psychotic state may take several weeks in a quiet, darkened room. Long-term effects may include kidney failure and seizures.
