It's a single boot to Ubuntu and worked well for a long while but I think I've stressed it playing Urban Terror!
I've just found code

Have you tried logging in as superuser in the Live CD terminal? It's been a while since I tried but I think it's possible, though it allows that without password needed.
So [sudo -i] will give you...
What are these errors? pci_enable_pcie_error_reporting and NVRM: RmInitAdapter
I'm struggling with a Dell Inspiron 530 running Karmic that's showing odd but consistent graphics problems.

If it's to be trusted, then it's not unreasonable to expect the default behaviour is safe. So, unmount by system shutdown shouldn't be an issue.
Upgrade to 10.4 appears to fix this.
I came at it a few days ago from the opposite direction, it was unticked and I wondered if it mattered. I've been using it a long while in the same way.
I suspect the talk of auto-dismount is just...
To check for a hidden file in the home directory, in the Nautilus file manager select [View][Show Hidden Files]. That'll show files starting with a fullstop, eg .xyz, and in the home directory there...
Grab local copy of packages to save downloading twice?
Just for fun, I'm wondering if I can grab a copy of the Lucid packages that my laptop's downloading and dump them into a directory on the desktop computer, then upgrade the desktop in a way it makes...
This problem just appeared on my laptop too.
The only change was a security upgrade to
libpq5 (8.4.2-0ubuntu9.10) to 8.4.3-0ubuntu9.10

There's nothing there expect the ./apache2/error.log noting pairs of [resuming normal operations] and [shutting down] as I restart and reboot.

No, it worked smoothly but no change.
Adding to /etc/rc.local didn't work!?
/bin/bash -c /etc/init.d/apache2\ restart
/bin/bash -c /etc/init.d/mysql\ restart
That was a surprise, as I thought it would be essentially the same as...
Not an expert but when in doubt I try adding semi-colons to the end of lines;
However, some scripts seem to work fine without, so I've yet to figure out where they are meant to be used.

Try booting into Recovery of the latest version.. from memory it's pressing Escape while grub is counting down at the start. From the little I know, that seems to be a grab of the last good boot.
Maybe it's a deamon mysql rather than a true server then..
Eitherway, using
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
works to fix it temporarily but then its state is...
Where are Apache and MySql made to start at boot?
Apache and MySql used to run every session but now something changed in the last few days that the servers aren't running directly and I need to start them.
Obviously, I could put them in the...
Apache broken but unclear how to proceed
I run Apache for localhost, running simple services under PHP. Having changed nothing directly, it's now not working "can't establish a connection to the server at localhost".

files~ are backups made where you've edited files directly. I see them usually only from text editors. It's not quite incremental autosave. No surprise then you have X.txt~

Quick search throws another post.. See this post suggests the drive might be struggling to read rewritable disks.

Re: NVIDA Driver issue
Ok - it's fixed for me but I don't know how! If it was running nvidia-xconfig as root throwing me back to the login screen, then it's not obvious that was an intended correction.
Here's hoping...
Re: NVIDA Driver issue
The NVidia X Server Settings suggests "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X Driver." It suggests editing the X config file and restarting the X server.
