10.10 interview questions
Top 10.10 frequently asked interview questions
MySQL 5.5 on Ubuntu 10.10 used to work well until yesterday but today whenever I start MySQL using mysqld_safe as root user it shows
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
and then shows pid ended
I haven't run any updates recently but I used the MySQL administrator to connect to a remote database but MySQL administrator was installed one month ago.
I then examined the error file error.log and found this:
120210 02:33:23 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
120210 2:33:23 [Warning] Ignoring user change to '=root' because the user was set to 'mysql' earlier on the command line

I have a weird bug with Ubuntu 10.10 on one of my computer. When I empty the trash, the process - gvfsd-trash goes to 200% and does not stop until I kill it (using kill -9).
Does not matter if I have a 1 file or 100.
What can be the issue?
Here's a screenshot of mine (it's not 200% but it's 98%) which i think it's not normal.

I'm using Ubuntu Maverick (Gnome), a month ago I updated like usual whenever Update Manager informed me of new updates. The thing that happened is that a program called kdewallet got installed on my machine, and every time I try to do something that requires password like svn, it pops up and starts getting really annoying. How can I get rid of it? It's not even in the Synaptic Package Manager.

I installed ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop and configured a lot, installed and setup lot of things on it to suit my needs. Now I want to move this setup to anothe machine and want to avoid all the setup again. Is there a way I can create an installer out of my existing ubuntu installation/partition which I can reuse for other machines?

I have a cd image that is not a .iso but a .cue. I cannot mount it. I use ubuntu 10.10 64 bits, and I've tried a lot of programs. furiosmout just says it is not a image file, and it just didn't work. I found a program (acetone) that can convert .cue in .iso, but it says I need other packages (that I could not come to). I was looking for an easy way. Any help?

This question already has an answer here:
In Google Chrome, when I go to a login page, a window pops up asking to "Enter password for keyring 'default' to unlock". In most cases, whether I click Cancel or enter my password, the login form gets auto filled anyway.
How do I get rid of the popup? I want it to auto login each time, not ask for my system password. The dialog box never appears for any other apps.

I've got a USB mouse attached to my Ubuntu notebook. This mouse is (unfortunately) really sensitive, and so it sometimes gets hard to hit small icons with the mouse pointer. This is really a hardware issue, it's not a bug and it's not Ubuntu's/gnome's fault. Still, I would very much like to this issue through software (solving through hardware would imply buying a new mouse).
Back in Windows, if I set the sensitivity as really low it was comfortable enough. In Ubuntu, even the lowest sensitivity and acceleration available (in the System>Prerences>Mouse menu) is still frustrating. How can I decrease it below the default minimum?
I tried xset, but it seems xset only deals with acceleration and threshold, but not actual sensitivity.

I would like to install the most recent version of boto, which I do via python setup.py install
Yet when I try to remove the old version the following packages also get removed:
apt-get remove python-boto
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
cloud-init cloud-utils euca2ools python-boto
How can I tell the package manager to remove boto, and them mark it as installed externally (or something like that) so that apt won't try to fix the missing dependency?
Thank you,
Maxim.

I have a small issue that's really annoying me and wondering if there is a possible fix for it.
im using the latest distro of Ubuntu 10.10 and when scrolling up and down pages, especially in google chrome (also within folders etc) the page flickers up and down as I scroll.
There is no issue with the mouse itself as it works fine in other operating systems, but in ubuntu 10.10 it just lacks smoothness as well as it being jumpy.
To describe exactly how it just imagine that the page has 20 scroll jumps, you would normally scroll the mouse wheel once and it would go exactly one step down the page, but if I scroll about 5 clicks, it will jump back and forth.
Hope you can understand and can help me resolve this pain in the ...

I've been using Ubuntu for about five years now, and I still can't make it suspend when I want to. It's quite irritating that I can program up a storm, hack the machine in numerous other ways, and yet, and yet when I try to make it suspend or debug suspend, I fail miserably.
I need help.
Where do I begin to find the problem? What do I do to fix it? I'm placing a bounty on this, because I've literally lost hours of my life to this problem, and leaving my computer on ALL the time is terrible.
The symptoms:
- Pressing suspend brings my computer to a state where it has a blinking cursor, the fans are running, it seems that the HD has turned off (I think), and I can't do anything to bring it back from this state (short of a hard reboot).
- Possibly related: My fans stay on even after a shutdown, and even then, I have to press the power button for five seconds before I can start it up again.
- I don't know what logs to look at to debug the problem, and I imagine they'd get nuked on reboot anyway.
Please, please help. This drives me completely nuts, and I've been living with it for over a year.
