Did you try my earlier suggestion?

Can pgl be run without the GUI? And if so, why is pgl-gui a dependency of pgld (in the ppa)? I'm running a torrent client on a server without GUI. Of course I could just install it, but it installs...

Perhaps the OP just means that Synaptic (and apt-get) have ways to update the database of available packages (reload button/apt-get update) and the Software Center hasn't? (I don't use the Software...

Well, I seem to see more posts with other OSes not being found by grub. So I'm thinking along the lines of an os-prober problem. But of course a wiped windows partition would cause the problem as...

Is the Windows installation mentioned in grub.cfg at all (as a menuentry)? If not run update-grub and check it again.

You're right. Should have read a bit further.

Resizing a partition is always a bit risky. That's why gsgleason advised you to backup your data first.

I'm not sure whether gparted is present on a live cd. You may have to install it first....

You can still use the forums just fine if you have less than 50 posts. Ok, you can't edit your account/profile. But you can still search, read, post messages and so on. Is editing your profile that...

Unmounting (umount) should be enough.

You could replace the shortcut with a launcher which runs:


bash /path/to/your/script

If you read /boot/grub/grub.cfg is there any reference to your windows installation? From the last bit you posted it would seem not. Looks like os-prober isn't detecting windows.

One solution...

Perhaps someone here can help you, but wouldn't it be easier asking this on some C programming forum? Or post it the Programming Talk forum instead.

Absolute Beginner Talk (and General Help)...

Edit: my orginal info was incorrect. See Mark's post below.

Problem solved. I had removed an auto-expanding separator. This seems to have prevented me from moving applets an thus also from dragging something from the window to the panel. I noticed first that...

Hello,
On a machine I've been running Xubuntu 10.10 for some time now. I had replaced xfce4-panel with the Avant Window Navigator (AWN). However I'm considering switching back to the xfce4-panel...

Why doesn't it seem right? Every partition containing a filesystem can be mounted. And of course partitions which contain relevant data for the OS need to be mounted otherwise the data can't be...

I think the OP means that she's on a webpage, copies something on that page, then loads a new site (yahoo/gmail) in the SAME tab and then tries to paste the content into that new page. So the...

When you run a program in terminal and then close the terminal the program stops. You could perhaps simply start it using Alt+F2 instead. Adding it to the start-up applications in your preferences is...

Go to thread tools (on top of your first post) and choose the appropriate option.

The OP isn't talking about the login screen, but about the Plymouth theme (other people just assumed it was the login screen).

You say your disk is full. Was this just based on the Disk Usage Analyzer or did you actually run into problems?

Based on this thread one of the two is a virtual filesystem which doesn't actually...

Have a look at for example:

Just to be clear: when you talk about /root do you mean:

/ -> the root of the filesytem or
/root -> the home directory of the root user.

The latter normally shouldn't be on a separate...

As far as I know this only happens if you have different OS's, not different kernel versions. I have plenty of kernel versions installed, but no GRUB menu on boot, unless I press and hold shift after...

Wouldn't is be easier to use 'cron' and run the script automatically at specific intervals?

Semething useful to be aware of: the sun-java packages in the repositories are empty as of the day before yesterday, due to license issues. See this thread.
