Having problems in uploading the WordPress Themes, Plugins etc. in Ubuntu? Here’s a simple and easy solution:

Solution – The uploaded file could not be moved to /var/www/

Simply open the file php.ini file, existing in /etc folder. For me, it is in:

/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Now search for the variable upload_max_filesize and change its value from 2M to whatever the file size, you want to, for me, I changed it from:

upload_max_filesize = 2M

to

upload_max_filesize = 100M

After this, restart your Apache Server, through the following post:

Install PHP, MySQL and Apache (LAMP) on Ubuntu (Linux)

And your problem could have been resolved.

While logging into Empathy, there faced a problem while the account signing in. Here is a simple and easy solution:

Empathy – Name In Use Solution

All you have to do, what was done by me here, is to remove the account or accounts which are having problem while signing in. For example, if your MSN account is getting problem while singing in, and showing yout  the Name In Use error, then simple remove the account by following the small procedure below:

1. Open Empathy window
2. Goto: Edit -> Accounts
3. Choose your account from the left panel by selecting it from the left click
4. And click on the Remove button below

One you have remove your account, now just add the account again by clicking on the Add button on the same window, and following the procedure there for adding your account.

And your problem would have been resolved now.

If still facing any problem, then try to do the same procedure again, and restart Empathy before adding the account again to see if any change happens.

Are you facing an error occurred while mounting /sda drive or something like that in Ubuntu?

Ubuntu – An Error Occurred While Mounting Drive

If you are facing the following type of error while booting Ubuntu:

An error occurred while mounting /sda5
Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery

or any such type of error with other mount drive, which is not actually the mount drive you have in the system, or you already have formatted or removed it from the system, then here is a simple solution, which may work for you in getting rid of this error.

How To Resolve An Error Occurred While Mounting SDA Drive

To resolve this error, all you have to do is, first ignore this error message by pressing S, and let the Ubuntu load and start. After that, all you have to do is, simply open the file fstab in gedit or any other text editor, located in:

/etc/fstab

by opening it on the Terminal, through following command:

sudo gedit /etc/fstab

After the file has been opened, you would be seeing different of your files systems mounted there, like:
/dev/sda5 /sda5 vfat utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1

Once you are on the file, just find the line in this file, containing the mount drive, you were facing the error, at the time of booting your Ubuntu. In our case, it is /sda5.

Now insert the hash sign # at the start of this line. The line would now be looking something like:

# /dev/sda5 /sda5 vfat utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1

This is it.

Now save the file, and close the editor.

Hopefully this will resolve your problem, and now you wont get any more errors of mounting that non existing drive while booting Ubuntu.
