I have the solution.
Get BackTrack linux for penetration testing on your network. I know you said you didn't want to switch to another operating system, but Backtrack will include all of the...
There are many great guides on the internet for compiling your own kernel, here's my humble blog post how-to: http://admiralspark.blogspot.com/2010/12/compiling-vanilla-linux-kernel-for.html
The NX bit isn't very useful in a home environment on a linux machine anyway, and it's not supported except on the server kernel or a PAE kernel, neither of which are default on Ubuntu.
If you would, can you tell us which mp3 player you're using? And if it's an iPod, also let us know which generation/version it is.
Have you checked the CD integrity? When you boot from the install CD, use the option "check cd integrity".
If that checks out, it's possible that the .iso itself was bad. You can check the md5 hash...
Also, and I'm not sure if this applies to your 1TB, but a 1TB MyBook (by WD) we have won't mount unless you use the authorization software from the 'cd' built into it's firmware. Windows...
This may be a bit ridiculous, but did you run the aforementioned codes with sudo used before them?
If you did, we'll have to take a look at what's going on exactly.
If you could post the output of ...
Yeah, it's probably due to the default power settings which will shut down a non-active computer after, say, one hour. Go to Menu-->Preferences-->Power Management, then set it to whichever settings...
I'm assuming you're on a laptop? Regardless of whether you are or not, could you open a terminal and post the results of this command back here:
lspci | grep Network
So that we know what kind of...
I think it's probably safe to say that if your windows partition is less than 80% full, gparted will have no problem shrinking an NTFS partition and adding in the ext3/ext4 partitions all at once....
Well, since nothing else seems to work, and you mentioned that triggering firefox set it off once, could the problem potentially be Java? I've had ubuntu lock up on me before because Java didn't want...
Well, I'll answer the second part first because it's the easiest.
Right click on your top bar, click 'Add to Panel', then click on the 'CPU Frequency Scaling Tool'. Then, simply click on the new...
Agreed, if you can get the memory, Lubuntu will work great. If not, definitely give Puppy Linux a try. Version 5.1 is based on major packages in the Ubuntu repository anyways, and it will literally...
The overview screen is not a function of Gnome, but of the Compiz WM. <IF> you can get compiz to work with gnome shell, you should be able to re-enable the feature through the "CompizConfig Settings...
Connect to the internet. If you're plugged in, turn off wireless if you have any.
When 'burning' an ISO to usb, you should probably use UNetbootin. It's graphical and seems to work with just about every linux release (I've had one no-go and 16 working so far). Do not place the iso...
This is probably related to some bugs that've popped up concerning the power management settings. I found that the only way I could disable it is to go into Screensaver --> un-tick the box next to...
There will be an upgrade option, but as always it is not recommended. There can be several problems along the way (though they may be ironing it out from 10.04 to 10.10). Maybe try waiting a month to...
why not install the desktop first and familiarize yourself with the server tools? The cli is quite daunting at first use, it took me awhile to get used to it.
Well, building one from parts would be the cheapest route, but purchasing a windows computer that also works with linux would be the easiest route. You will find that there is always ONE LOUSY...
Well, I can see one possible cause of this issue, though I may be wrong: the ae.archive repository is experiencing problems. I'm unfortunately sitting at a windows computer right now, but if you open...
Hello everyone!
Very sorry I haven't been on, I've been busy with several other projects (and college).
I purchased the Lenovo Y560 and love it! I'm currently triple-booting with Windows 7/Linux...
Well, the quick and easy answer is this: your permissions are set up so that you need to be in the Administrator account to install Ubuntu. This happens alot.
As for your situation, I do not...
It's all a matter of preference.
Simple answer:
Debian is more stable. Debian is committed to open source and Ubuntu (Canonical) is committed to being easy-to-use. Debian is run by independent...
