    Re: After Natty and Lucid Support End

    Thanks, using the old releases could be an option.

    Or maybe 12.04 will mature sufficiently.

    Or maybe one of the other distros ....

    Colorlessprism,

    I had to reinstall 10.04 on my ancient Gateway desktop, and it would not shutdown cleanly, so it checked the disks each and every time I rebooted. Your fix eliminated this problem...

    Roll Back Compiler or Distro?

    Should I keep 12.04 and replace it's g++ compiler (4.6.3-1) with an older compiler (e.g., 4.5.2-6) that will compile the code I need to compile, or should I delete my 12.04 installation, replacing it...
  7. [ubuntu] Re: Anomalies after replacing 11.04 with 10.04

    darkod, thanks for your valuable help. This problem is now SOLVED.

    Before I read your most recent post, I tried again, using my existing home partition, and telling the installer to use that...
  8. [ubuntu] Re: Anomalies after replacing 11.04 with 10.04

    I tried doing a manual reinstall, keeping the existing home partition. It didn't work; I have exactly the same symptoms (Places > Home, etc. doesn't work).
    Maybe I'll try copying all my home data...
  9. [ubuntu] Re: Anomalies after replacing 11.04 with 10.04

    Thanks, darkod, I'll give the manual install a try.
  10. [ubuntu] Re: Anomalies after replacing 11.04 with 10.04

    Following darkod's suggestion, I changed the last line of my fstab to

    /dev/sda6 /home ext3 defaults 0 2

    , rebooted, but still have the same problem.
  11. [ubuntu] Re: Anomalies after replacing 11.04 with 10.04

    Darkod,

    I tried to switch to it later.

    Don't know how to do it during installation.

    Thanks for looking at this.

    I just reinstalled Ubuntu 10.04: "Places" no longer works correctly, and theme updating now has some failures it used to not have.

    Places > Home Folder results in the following error message at...
  13. [ubuntu] Re: Is there a System76 laptop with a higher end graphics adapter?

    Your points are all well-taken, 3Miro, and yes, it does take a high-end desktop with high-end graphics cards to come anywhere close to a supercomputer. But I can't lug a desktop around, so it is...
  14. [ubuntu] Re: Is there a System76 laptop with a higher end graphics adapter?

    I use Nvidia's CUDA technology on graphics processing units for general purpose programming. This is called GPGPU. It gives you a parallel processing computer. My panp5 has limited capacity, but...

    [ubuntu] Re: My 8 GB USB

    You might also consider getting a USB 3.0 flash drive. Even on a USB 2.0 port it may be substantially faster, your Linux more responsive, than a USB 2.0 drive.
    I use an ADATA 16GB USB 3.0 flash...

    I wonder if running "boot-repair" https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair after installation but before trying to boot the new system would help.

    I wonder if it would work without WUBI. That is, use, for example, GParted to repartition the drive, creating a new empty partition. Then use the Ubuntu installer (not the WUBI installer) to install...
