Ubuntu One

on Tuesday, March 9, 2010

Ubuntu One:
Ubuntu One is introduced by Canonical with 9.10(Karmic) release. Ubuntu One synchronizes Ubuntu one folder to user web space and vice versa.

Web Storage for Ubuntu One is provided by Ubuntu. 2GB and 50GB are the two limitations of space for Ubuntu one. For 50GB, user have to buy for 10$/month from Ubuntu.

To start it Go to Applications -> Internet -> Ubuntu One

I started Ubuntu with lot of errors.
At first when I installed I got an error

Version not supported by server - server version update could take long time

Below are the problem I found with Ubuntu One:

Problems:
  1. Files in ubuntu one folder on computer do not correspond to files on the web interface.
  2. Version not supported by server - server version update could take long time .
  3. Ubuntu one is not connecting, even after I click "connect".
  4. Restore Ubuntu One indicator icon to panel.
Server version problem is solved by Ubuntu. If problem still persists do the below.
Go to Software Center -> Search for Ubuntu One -> Remove it and install it.
Restart system.

Solution for 1, 2 & 4
Open /home/haradeep/.config/ubuntuone

Delete ubuntuone-client.conf to Restore Ubuntu One indicator icon to panel.
Delete syncdaemon.conf to solve problem 1 & 3.

After deleting these files, new files will be placed with

In ubuntuone-client.conf
[ubuntuone]
bookmarked = True
connected = True
connect = 0
show_applet = 0

syncdaemon.conf
[bandwidth_throttling]
read_limit = 20480

I succeeded fixing Nvidia FX 5500 Graphic card to 1024x768 display

This one works for both ubuntu 9.04, 9.10 and kubuntu 9.04, 9.10.

I'm having Nvidia FX 5500 Graphic card.

I will tell you how to configure it to 1024x768 display.

1)Version Of Ubuntu: ubuntu version 9.04,9.10 and kubuntu 9.04, 9.10.
2)Type Of Hardware: Graphic card
3)Hardware Maker: Nvidia
4)Hardware Model: FX 5500

I will tell you in a detailed way.

After installation of ubuntu open

System-> Administration-> Hardware drivers

You will find two drivers to install.

NVIDIA accelerated graphic drivers(Version 173)[Recommended]
NVIDIA accelerated graphic drivers(Version 96)

Select version 96 and activate it. It takes some time to download, install, get activated and asks for reboot.

Reboot your system...

After rebooting it, it sets 640x480 display.

Open terminal

Applications-> Accessories-> Terminal

In terminal type

sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

enter your password for authentication and open it.

In this file you will find data like this.

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection

Section "Module"
Load "glx"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection

Replace above data with below data.

EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Module"

EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection

Reboot your system. You will get 1024x768 display in login page.

If you did not get 1024x768 display

Go to

System-> preferences-> Display

and you will get a window asking...

It appears that your graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's tool instead?

Enter [No]

You can set your resolution there to 1024x768
__________________________________________________ ____________

Other way to set resolution is

Go to

System-> Administration-> NVIDIA X Server Settings

Go to X Server Display configuration

Find resolution and set 1024x768.

Try to set in display only, if you set in NVIDIA X Server Settings you have to set every time when you reboot.


When I installed Ubuntu 9.04.

I first downloaded Ubuntu CD from their site. When I downloaded it, I know nothing about Ubuntu. But I'm having a little experience with Ubuntu 5, due to poor software and hardware features, I'm back to windows.

After installing I went to Applications, Places and System(Preferences and Administration) and nothing impressed me.

Now I found its resolution is 800x600 and my monitor is 17''. My ideal resolution is 1024x768. After that I found my graphic card drivers are not installed.

My graphic card is Nvidia FX 5500. It took 3 nights for me to fix this(How I fixed this is my next blog post).

After fixing I started using it.
After that my goal became to install apache, php, mysql and last phpmyadmin. I installed them, but I got a problem (permissions for /var/www). I got this fixed.

Then I installed my favourite FTP client Fillzilla.
I installed Chrome too.

Got rid of Windows.

I'm happy I got rid of Windows.


I'm not completely against Windows. I'm against its price. Its very high in our part of the World.

Today I wrote this blog because I once used Windows. I worked on Windows 98, XP, 2000 and Vista. I recently used Windows 7 too... I also used its Server 2003.

What I like in Windows is its GUI. Its very easy to use & very simple to navigate. Support of good software tools Adobe(All softwares), Office, Macromedia, iTunes(All Apple softwares). Excellent Driver support.

Till now for my personal use I used all pirated software expect free and open source software.


I know Google Chrome OS can do it

Windows will be down:
I know Google Chrome can do the trick to get rid of EXPENSIVE WINDOWS($$$).

Do you want to know how?

  • Chrome OS is based on Linux.
  • It can increase security by using Linux.
  • It can increase its ad services up to 10times.
