Hello,

It seems there are many ways to mount a share on user login, but I haven't found the best way to mount a share when the path depends on:

1. the hostname of the client, or
2. group...

Hello,

Does any one know of a good way to clone a Linux partition over a network to machines that already contain a Windows partition and set up GRUB or LiLo to be able to boot either OS? Easily?...

You know you're a geek when you run "pacman -Syu" in ArchLinux just before you really have to get an essay finished--knowing that you'll be able to fix it if it goes wrong anyway, so what's the big...

I've just had a thought . . .

I've always installed an alsa backport for my sound card (you cannot change the volume without sound pausing for 10-20 seconds without it).

I'm wondering now if...

It looks like I was just unlucky (again)! The lastest kernel update from Ubuntu for 10.04 (2.6.32-33) is also happy with the USB headset.

It appears that the updated kernel (2.6.32-32) doesn't play nicely with the USB headset.

After switching back to kernel 2.6.32-31, I can use it successfully.

Hello,

I've just purchased a USB headset and wanted to use it with my Ubuntu 10.04 installation.

Unfortunately, upon inserting the USB headset into a USB port, Ubuntu freezes (you can still...

Hmmm... that's true if you like all the defaults and install software only from the repository. If you like to compile the odd application (for compatibility or to have the very latest version of a...

Ooops...should have spotted the lack of partition number--sorry!

Yes, the first partition cannot be erased--it mounts as a read-only CD.

Yup! You know you're a geek when you've got 70GB of downloaded software that's all free/open source. ;-)

Hi,

Just out of interest, is it the 'Secure Privacy Edition' of the Kingston Data Traveller?

The Secure Privacy Edition drive requires that a Windows executable is run that tells the device...

OK, I've tried Lubuntu 10.10 and it does use the xdg standard for menu entries, but it appears that there is no graphical-interfaced program for editing them.

You can copy an existing file and...

Unfortunately, I don't have a Lubuntu install handy but I don't think that the 'alacarte' application for editing the menu entries is installed by default in Lubuntu. Furthermore, I don't think it...

Hi,

Good, sound advice from trinitydan there.

Rather unfortunately, with a small amount of disk space and only 128MB RAM, sometimes the older Windows operating systems 'win' in terms of...

Hi,

Yes--this one's a big question. Also, since Ubuntu (and others) made ext4 the default file system during installation, it's knocked a few potentials off the list!

+1 for clonezilla though....

Hello,

Just in case anyone else finds this problem, I've been able to fix it by adding some lines to the preseed file.

I've added lines to tell the debian-installer where the mirror is too, but...

Hello,

I'm having trouble getting Ubuntu 10.10 installed via PXE with a copy of the alternate CD.

Past versions I have tried have allowed me to copy the contents of the CD to a web server and...

Hello,

Can you try the following line at the terminal to reinstall 'Ubuntu Keyring' to see if it resolves the issue or provides a clue as to what's causing the problem:


$ sudo aptitude...

You can use the 'xrange' function rather than 'range' in Python 2 to avoid the excessive memory allocation problem.

Excellent, thank you very much! I might be able to compile PHP now in less than half an hour!

Thanks,

Hello,

Does anyone know how to disable the frame buffer in Ubuntu 10.04 Server?

It doesn't seem to take any notice if you use nofb or fb=false as a kernel argument and the terminal text scroll...

Not something I've done. This looks like it will do exactly that, but I failed to compile one of the required components (Netpbm 9.24). You're Linux skills are probably better than mine though!

Create the limit with the subscript option, then highlight the range and choose Edit > Math > Change Limits Type > Display.

Hope this helps,

You are only allow a maximum of four primary/extended partitions per disk.

You need to remove a primary partition and replace it with an extended partition. You can then create many more logical...

Hmm...says there's a problem with line 2 of /etc/network/interfaces.
Isn't that "iface lo inet loopback"?

Can you delete the top two lines and retype them--sounds like a strange 'hidden...
