OK, sorry about all the acronyms ;)
Yep, your error message sounds rather like a file needed for the bootup sequence is corrupted.
Even if it's a laptop drive, connecting it to a desktop is not...
If the computer crashed, it is very probable the file system is compromised. I had the same problem recently with what was probably a faulty master file table on a NTFS data drive and the corrupted...
I'm not quite sure whether you have already established a head crash from the error messages, but you could try removing the drive from its case and plug it into a computer (and try stuff like...
That's why I recommended the .deb package. No need to torture yourself with tarballs.
I think this should be the right package for you:...
The standard way to install a tarball is:
-open a terminal
-navigate to the tar.bz2 file
-unpack with tar -jxf <filename>.tar.bz2
-cd into the unpacked folder
-run ./configure
-run make
-run...
Intel built-in usually works well, so I'd think it's not a dirver/hardware problem. Did you check whether you chose the right network security protocol, too? (WPA, WEP, etc...)
Hi Bob,
I think you have to run the line
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype
in a terminal to preload the v4l1compat library before you start skype.
So try...
To whom it may concern: kate-plugins is now a part of kate. Selected plugins can be activated via Settings->Configure Kate..
Thankfully, linux apps don't require syncing, so you can just dump mp3s on the iPod regardless of which computer it is attached to. Should work with a 3G touch, AFAIK (I only have a Classic, which...
it works for me with
env DISPLAY=:0.0 zenity --question
running from a root text console.
I don't think it's a python conflict, more likely the packagers didn't write the sources correctly to match your directory structure.
The package installer searches for python include files in...
As you were mentioning iTunes: to the best of my knowledge, wine doesn't have USB support, so the most major problems we still have are with exotic external hardware and Mac/Windows only...
Another thought - I'd assume the EeePC has on-board graphics, but this was a very common problem with dedicated graphics cards in the past: If applicable, try updating/reinstalling your graphics...
Can you post the relevant kernel versions?
(should be in /boot)
Just to clear up a few points:
-The libgpod approach works for the iPod classic, nano and shuffle (I think) and the touch up to 3G. No success yet with touch or iPhone 4G
-From my personal...
A colleague of mine had the same problem: he had to set an explicit modeline in xorg.conf which made the mode accessible to xrandr.
The modeline parameters depend on your screen, so either find an...
To do it by pendrive, download unetbootin (for Windows)
http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
or usb-creator (Linux), create the pendrive and set it as the first boot device in the BIOS.
Make sure...
Your specs look OK, and you do have the Nvidia drivers, right? How about a different player? MPlayer or VLC?
I had that too after an automatic flash upgrade. I downgraded by hand which made it work again:
apt-cache policy flashplugin-installer
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer=10.2.159.1ubuntu1
Are you using the Unity interface (it's default in 11.04) and did you install a proprietary driver for your graphics card yet?
Unity 3d is very picky about rendering. Try logging in with Gnome...
I just read up on vice - it could be that you don't even need to put system files outside your home directory, if that's what you are doing.
According to http://www.viceteam.org/vice_4.html#SEC24...
OK, just a few things to clear up:
1) Ubuntu differs from other Linux distributions by not setting a root password, so the root account is inaccessible by default. You are supposed to do things that...
Desktop or laptop?
For a laptop, do
cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state
in a terminal.

I take it you want to mount a windows NTFS drive on the same computer?
It should show up in Nautilus->Places and be mountable by clicking on it.
If not, open a terminal and try
sudo mkdir...
