I'm really sorry - I'm out of ideas then :(

Hopefully this post will bump your thread up to get more attention.

Oh...your LVM isn't encrypted? I guess I didn't realize LVM could be used in a non-encrypted state.

Still, from the shell can you access your /home directory? In whatever drive/partition it's...

Glad to hear it worked!

Everybody runs into little stumbling blocks that eventually become learning moments. I know it's happened to me more times than I can remember.

to change permissions:

cd Desktop
chmod 777 iwl-no-blink.bash
Where you can change 777 based on what permissions you want to give it (777 is read/write/execute all). The other (simpler) option...

Ok, first thing you need to do is download an "Alternate" Ubuntu CD and burn it to a disk.
Then, boot from the CD and enter "Rescue Broken System" (it's an option in the menu).
Tell it you want to...

Wow, this thread exploded while I was gone - I thought I was supposed to get email notifications...

Ok, first off, I had already used EasyBCD (or whatever it was called - it was using this method...

Ok, I tired all 5 of those and none of them worked :(

It may be worth noting, that attempting to set up dual boot from Vista's end doesn't work either. When I try and access Linux it complains...

Yes, you are correct - I obtained the information from the actual GRUB bootloader after pressing 'c' - not from the CLI in Ubuntu.

I'll try the whole list and see if any of them provide any new...

Ok, so,
grub> geometry (hdX)
confirms that hd1 is the Vista drive. The output it gave said that it was an unknown file system type even though everything else seems to detect that it's NTFS.

Yes, by changing the first HD in BIOS I can still boot into Vista (done it several times already).

sudo fdisk -lu returns the following:


Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads,...

I'm not sure if this really is the best place to put this...
I'm a devoted user of Ubuntu, but, I bought a iPod Touch, so I really wanted to have iTunes to make the process of getting music and...

Compiz is what you should search for and then select to install the settings manager (CCSM is the acronym I think)

If I understand right, you want to scan your whole computer, detect what media types there are and then install only the codecs needed to play those media types?

Seems like it might be faster,...

First- do you have a mount-point set up? I use /media/iso for mounting disc images.

If you don't, type
sudo mkdir /media/iso or something like that to make your mountpoint.

Then type:

Whenever I'm reinstalling AWN I always seem to have that problem. The first thing I'd do is to delete all the launchers from inside AWN Manager. Then, drag the shortcuts onto the panel to add them....

As far as the internal HD goes - have you tried setting up an entry in your fstab to correspond? You can then set the owner to yourself so you ought to have read/write access.

For the external HD...

Taking the advice of some friends and a lot of people here I decided to make my /home partition formated with ReiserFS (my root is ext3). The one issue I have now is that whenever I'm starting up...

Thanks - worked like a charm!

I recently installed a new Hard Drive and reinstalled Ubuntu to take advantage of this. I made a tar of my home directory and extracted it when Ubuntu was reinstalled (thus saving all my settings...

Maybe the motherboard isn't compatible with the Linux Kernel - I had a white box that had that problem.

The spell checker where? OpenOffice, Firefox, etc...?

I was trying to figure this out for a while too - I wrote a post about it here on my blog.

Hope it helps!

Also, just to make it clear, it was faster...

I've never been impressed much with the Vaio line either - I've had too many friends have them break down or be really buggy. Also, $999 does seem a bit steep for what it includes. Have you looked...

Try Kaffeine? Haven't done it myself, but http://www.linux.com/feature/127800 talks about it.

Alright, so, I figured it out with the help of a friend and Google. After installing the LaTeX plugin (you can download it here) there is a native option for building the .rnw file called "R Sweave...
