I gave up on the SD-PEX40049 SATA PCI Express Card. I eventually found this site from Randy Ray, which worked for me perfectly. Sadly, I had used Ubuntu's own Software RAID sites for days and days...

I have an ASMedia ASM106x PCI-Express to SATA 6Gbs controller card in a Dell Optiplex 790. I have two 750 Gb drives on the ASM106x controller, and want to install Ubuntu onto these two drives as a...

First, nobodyspecial, I'm sorry but I haven't installed JavaScript on this copy of Knoppix, so I can't read the blog specs. Not trying to avoid the rules, but ...

Duh, one detail I failed to mention. I have asked the end-user for his root password, which he claims to have given me. I'm not certain this was just his sudoer user account password, but I...

Steeldriver, another interesting development is seen in Knoppix' XWindowing environment. I now see a volume "dm-0" on the Graphical Desktop. When I try and click on it I get a message that says ......

Goodly men and womenfolk of Ubuntu-land. My tale starts with many electrical blackouts, followed by an exploding graphics card, with the end result a system that, when booting, gives continuous...

Wow, don't everybody jump on this at once now.

I'm trying to do something that's very, very easy on the Macintosh. We're on a DDNS configured network. I have no control over the DHCP server. One of our existing Ubuntu servers needs a certain...

Previously, I had two drives, a 160 Gig SATA drive that originally was a dual boot system, and a Terabyte SATA drive that was a strictly Vista OS (and data) volume.

I was in a hurry to go to work...

I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 this past week. Foolishly, I tried to finish it quickly, and let grub fiddle with my Vista volume, sdb1. I realized it after I agreed. Shucks! Now, my computer won't...

Darko,

Thanks! This worked like a champ. Now I boot correctly to the grub2 menu and can select Ubuntu (which boots fine) or Vista, which also runs fine.

Thanks again.

darko,

Thanks for the response! I can't try it now, but will try it later when I'm home tonight (or tomorrow night since I've got music plans for this evening). I guess I was too specific with...

Wow, the response has been underwhelming. Hmm. I was really enjoying Ubuntu. Certainly the question I ask can't be all that hard to fix. Folks, how does one get rid of chainloading from Windows...

Darko,

Thanks, but this didn't work. I got this ...

Charcaroth's post, number 8, worked for me. BTW, I got the message from the Setup Devices GUI app that the 5000 MS Mouse did NOT pair, but it worked anyway. Yay!

Thanks!

Believe it or not, when I plugged the Brother laser printer into the network, I simply used the Ubuntu-supplied driver and it worked like a champ. Yeah!

Now the final 2 bits of weirdness and I...

Okay, there's a computer guy I'm in charge of who's having trouble printing. I check it out, and sure enough, his Brother HL-5250 will not print. I rebuilt things (it is plugged in directly USB to...

Joeb454,

Tried your post and it worked perfectly, the firs time! Man, Ubuntu 9.04 is SO cool! The video comes to life in a way the previous versions just didn't have up to steam. Thanks again...

JC,

Muchas gracias. Ahora, I get this ...

Folks,

I can't get my HP ScanJet 4100c to work with XSANE. It says No devices found. It used to work fine in XP, but HP has no drivers for Vista and won't make any, so it doesn't work anymore...

California John,

Thanks for the advice, but I figured it out in a less technical, but effective way. First, thanks again for all your previous advice -- worked like a charm. Actually, what you...
