evince not found when trying to ./config??

February 24, 2014, 5:29 pm

Hello.
Recently I've been learning the ropes in extracting and compiling in ubuntu thanks to my determination to install Denemo(music transcript software)

(instructions) http://linuxg.net/how-to-install-den...nt-and-debian/

The instructions were helpful and I'm trying to run ./configure and been through a couple hurdles in installing libxml and whatnot and I installed evince, but when I ran ./configure again, I get this!

checking for EVINCE_2_0... no
checking for EVINCE_2_30... no
checking for EVINCE_2_32... no
configure: error: Package requirements (evince-view-2.32 >= 2.0) were not met:

No package 'evince-view-2.32' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables EVINCE_2_32_CFLAGS
and EVINCE_2_32_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.




Now what am I supposed to do? It would be really helpful if you guys can provide me with something to paste onto my terminal that would fix this.

Thank you

Mis aligned partition

I have cloned my new 1 terabyte drive for the second time now. The first time i got a warning message
"The partition is misligned by 1024 bytes. this may cause poor performance, re partitioning is suggested"
The second time i got the same warning except now it is 512 bytes.

Anyone have an idea what is going on here? I used dcfldd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb statusinterval=10 bs=10m conv=notrunc

It seemed to run fine, took a little over 3hours.

I am running 12.04 with all the updates (I think)

parted /dev/sda unit s print


Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B

Partition Table: msdos

Number Start End Size Type File system Flags

Where should the partition start

[ubuntu] Cups autheticating username for printing

Hey everyone,

I saw multiple posts on the forum for getting rid of the authentication when printing to a printer connected to CUPS.

I have a Samsung CLP 320 connected to a Ubuntu 12.03 computer with CUPS 1.5.3 installed.
But to keep an eye on when people are printing I want the printer to ask for authentication first.

I thought of adding a username to the lpadmin group that has a certain password and then giving that to the person that requested to print.

We have an office administrator at our charity and she would give that password to anyone who needed it and I can change it daily / weekly / adhoc

I hope someone can give me an example what my printers.conf or cupsd.conf should look like to make this possible.

Thank you in advance!

Another another vaio brightness problem

Dear Friends,

I have a VPCS116FG vaio laptop and I installed ubuntu 12.04.4 on it. But my brightness is always at the maximum. Ichecked and searched many forums but unfortunately none of them worked for me including this way:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi=Linux"

and many more ways but no luck so far.
I think there might be a power control that all the time never let driver change the screen brightness.
By the way, My Fn+bright keys are working and they do not change the actual brightness and it is all the time at the maximum.
Could any one help me with this situation that my eyes are kind of hurting so much right now???

[xubuntu] Will I delete my efi partition?

OK, this UEFI thing is new to me, but I got a new computer with Windows 8. (8.1 I believe, if it makes a difference). I believe I've gotten all the steps in place, and I'm ready to go, just one minor thing...

I don't feel the need to keep my Windows install, but when I went to install xubuntu, it didn't read that windows existed on it at all. My question is this: I understand that what the install will do in this case is overwrite my Windows. I'm alright with that, but I understand that UEFI uses a partition as part of the boot process. Is it possible that I would wipe out my boot process? Should I worry about not being able to get to the "BIOS menu"? It's probably a stupid question, but I'd rather check than screw it up, right?

EDIT: Apologies, I did forget to add the computer stuff:

It's a ASUS X551M, out of the box.

[ubuntu] Installation hangs at "Switched to clocksource tsc"

Heya All,

I have recently got a new laptop, and I have attempted to install a few different OSes onto it since yesterday, however, I've run into problems. I've tried installing Linux Mint 16, and Ubuntu 13.04, and Windows 7 (not going to go into that right now), on a laptop I got from zareason.com (since I wanted to make sure that the GPU works for Linux). However, when attempting to install the Linux distros, it hangs in a terminal, with the message [7.152041] Switched to clocksource tsc.

Unfortunately, I've only been able to find topics/threads online relevant after installation, not before.

The only other relevant info I can offer, is that the main board supports UEFI boot, but also has a dual boot option in BIOS (it is set to dual boot, not UEFI in BIOS).

I'm going to try some other distros, as well as contacting support at zareason.com. Any help I can receive here, would be most appreciated though. Thanks in advance.

'do-release-upgrade' Fails to upgrade 13.04 to 13.10

When attempting to run a "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" (though the behavior is the same when attempting the release upgrade from the GUI) in order to upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10, I receive quite a few errors similar to that below before the upgrade fails and reverts any changes:

Code:
Failed to fetch
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/saucy-security/universe/i18n/Translation-en
Cannot initiate the connection to <xxxx>:80 (0.0.8.219). - connect (22:Invalid argument)
Where <xxxx> is my proxy port (i.e., the port only--not the proxy address followed by the port like I would expect, which I suspect is the issue).

It's apparent when I attempt the same via update-manager that while it passes the 'Preparing to upgrade' portion, it fails during the 'Setting new software channels' piece.

My /etc/apt/apt.conf file looks as follows (with actual addresses omitted):

Code:
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://<proxy FQDN>:<proxy port>/";
My /etc/environment file looks as follows (with actual addresses omitted):

Code:

http_proxy=http://<proxy FQDN>:<proxy port>/

FTP_PROXY=http://<proxy FQDN>:<proxy port>/
My ~/.bashrc file contains no references to any proxy env variables.

I have no issues using apt-get for updating packages or kernel upgrades or the like. Wget works fine for downloading, as does any type of internet browsing in a browser. I've exhausted all sorts of web searches and while I've come across many similar issues, I've not seen one that applies to or resolves mine in particular.

Thanks very much in advance for any input you can provide!

[ubuntu] Installing Ubuntu 12.04 on a Dell Inspiron 15Z

February 25, 2014, 3:37 pm

Hi everyone,

I am noob in this Ubuntu universe. I want to try Ubuntu, but keeping my Windows OS, because I know I'll struggle with Ubuntu, and also because I usually work with CAD software (Solidworks and CATIA mainly), and as far as I know (forum reads on the net and some fellow designers experience) compatibility with that kind of software is an issue. I want to make it simple, and since it seems that W8 is installed in the SSD disk, I'd rather leave it there and install Ubuntu in a partition in the HDD.

My PC is a DELL Inspiron 15Z 5523, with the following configuration:
  • Intel i-7 3537;
  • Windows 8 x64;
  • 8 GB RAM;
  • 500 GB HDD;
  • 32 GB SSD;
  • NVidia Geforce GT630 2GB.


SO, I returned the PC to its original state, cleaning the HDD. I downloaded Ubuntu 12.04 and burned it in a DVD. I enter the BIOS menu and change from UEFI Secure boot ON to Legacy Secure Boot Off, and restart the computer. It then starts reading the DVD and enters the installation menu.

I have read several tutorials that should be "How to install Ubuntu for dummies", but I have problems with them. According to them, after checking that I have internet connection, it should go to the section where I can choose what type of installation I want (whether is delenting W8 and installing Ubuntu, installing Ubuntu alongside Windows etc etc). However, I don't get this step. Instead of it, the window header is the same, "Installation Type", but it presents an list that shows my current partitions.However, the list is empty and I cannot edit it, create new partitions...nothing. Below it, I have a sentece that reads "Where to install the boot charger" (sorry if I am wrong, I am translating from spanish), and the only option I have is "/dev/sda" (see below).

Messenger_5844198091424067802_13933654049568005.jpg

Since from this point on I won't effin know what I am doing, I prefer not doing anything and asking the experts before. I do not dare to press "Install now"...:(

Any ideas?

Disabling IRQ #9 Problem Installing

February 25, 2014, 8:13 pm

Hi. I've been having the biggest headache this week trying to put Ubuntu 13.10 on my Mac Mini but keep getting stonewalled. I had an old Ubuntu 9.04 disc that I used to install Ubuntu, and I completely wiped the HDD, as I was tired of OSX and wanted to go 100% Ubuntu.

The install worked just fine, but when I restarted the computer to install drivers, Ubuntu wouldn't load. It got to the boot screen but wouldn't proceed past it. All I got was a flashing command line. I inserted the disk and pressed "C" to load from a disc, but it was the same thing. I pressed "Option" and tried that way, but again, nothing.

I downloaded 13.10 and put two copies on two CDs -- one using Disk Utility from another Mac and one using the generic Disk Burn tool from my Windows 8 laptop. This was probably completely unnecessary, but because I had no idea if it was really any different, I proceeded anyways, because why not.

This time, I pressed "Option" and went for an EFI Boot. The screen initially said it had failed, that the drive didn't exist, but then it took me to the "Try Ubuntu" or "Install Ubuntu" page. I pressed Install, and it took me to a page that said "Disabling IRQ #9" at the top and had purple lines at the bottom of the screen. Nothing happens beyond this point.

I waited 30 minutes thinking perhaps it was moving slowly, but nothing happened. I tried the other disc and it was the same story. The next time around I clicked "Try Ubuntu", but again, Disabling IRQ #9. There's a number 2. followed by a different series of numbers each time.

The last resort was to install using a USB, but it didn't even let me get to the Install Ubuntu page. I don't think anything's wrong with the hardware, as it was working soundly before all this happened. I simply wiped the HDD and now it won't let me put anything back on it again.

I'd really appreciate any assistance you guys can provide :D

Installed 13.10 and it has Unity, and there are a few problems ..

1. I usually add kubuntu-desktop. How do I do this ?
2. There is no shell acess, how to I run konsole ?
3. How do you run software updates
4. An external drive that mounted okay with 12.04 now is 'unmountable'

As long as I can get to shell and be runing Kubuntu, I'm sure the problems can be solved.

(I do have all these instructions in a file, but that file is on the 'unmountable' drive)

[ubuntu] How to re-install Ubuntu when you have separate / and /home partitions

February 26, 2014, 6:20 am

I installed the amd64 version of Ubuntu 12.04.3 a new Toshiba laptop (that had Windows on it). This instalation formatted and used the whole of the hard disk.

After various problems, I needed to re-install. So I decided to put my /home directory on a separate partition first. Using Gpartd, I shrank the main partition, created a new one, juggled my data onto the new partition, reinstalled Ubuntu on the old partition, restarted, edited /etc/fstab thus:

Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>  <type>  <options>      <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc          proc    nodev,noexec,nosuid 0      0
# / was on /dev/sda2 during installation
UUID=16866923-a89d-4c9f-8222-e809b3985709 /              ext4    errors=remount-ro 0      1
# /boot/efi was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=136D-0C69  /boot/efi      vfat    defaults        0      1
# swap was on /dev/sda3 during installation
UUID=3620fc8f-cfa8-4aa7-9438-43dcd827efb4 none            swap    sw              0      0
# extra second data partition on /dev/sda4 created 8-Feb-2014
UUID=c8e24e24-36ff-4a99-99b7-ce032cabda77 /home              ext4    errors=remount-ro 0      2
and restarted. All ok.

After more problems, I needed to re-install again! Ran the DVD again but this time I got a bit confused, because the options were different.
I'm not sure exactly what I chose, but I think I chose to put the bootloader on /dev/sda instead of /dev/sda1 or not format /dev/sda2 or both. I think that the installer offering me /dev/sda as the first option as location for the boot loader misled me.

Booting gave me:

Code:
An error occured while mounting /boot/efi
Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery.
and when I could finally get to see /var/log/installer/syslog
it was full of Fatal errors to do with efi, grub etc.

I installed again, putting the bootloader on /dev/sda1 and installing and formatting /dev/sda2 and not mentioning /dev/sda4 at all.

This worked fine and I could edit /etc/fstab again to mount /home on /dev/sda4.
The username I specified was the same each time I installed.

I was scared to specify /home as a mount point for /dev/sda4 at install time, even with "format" off because I didn't know whether it would
a) respect all my existing data
b) replace /home with a virgin set of data or
c) leave my existing data unless it needed to be overwritten by virgin data.

Hope this is useful.

Howdy Folks,

A quick question about how to change some settings for Terminal short cut ctrl+alt+t

I just did an upgrade from ubuntu 13.04 to 13.10.
Before the upgrade when I pressed the short cut terminal keys ctrl+alt+t I would get the normal ubunt terminal.
After the upgrade when I press the terminal short cut keys I get terminator terminal.
How do I change this back to the other terminal app?

Thanks
