Hi Guys,
Just a quick Q, Re: Will 11.04 to 11.10 upgrade break my Apache Server?

I'm on 11.04 and could have upgraded to 11.10 when it came out. Don't want to "break what don't need fixing" but...

I did reduce it last time to a lower res, but the laptop is over at my sisters house on the other side of town, I'm over there again in 2 days, I'll take a look again and adjust to a lower...

Cheers guys for all your replies.
I managed to get LuBuntu to install fine (automatically removed the previous Ubuntu 11.04). However the screen issue is still there and I'm curious if anyone has...

Hi dude,
That's helpful, I already have the latest Lubuntu (and alt versions) now on CD, so do you advise the sudo's as per your site?
Cheers

Hi people,
I've had numerous troubles trying to get a relatives 6yr old Acer Aspire 1360 laptop screen to function at 1024 (see thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1784160) in order to...

Hi folks,
I've been struggling to get the correct resolution working on an Acer Aspire 1360 model for some 6 months. Ubuntu 11.10 works fine, except for this VGA issue. Can anyone shed any light on...

I now fine OpenShot a lot better than PiTiVi. Maybe you should try it. It's editing is so much easier.
Enjoy

Westie457,
Didn't have much luck with this after bootin with LiveCD and Gparted. Gparted loaded fine, but partions wouldn't move (and I turned off 'Swaps' with the option in the Gparted menu).
I...

Thanks Westie457.
FYI, my 'home' is on a 2nd WD 500gb, the system is a new one replaced 2 weeks past to replace the old small 80gb as I upgraded my Ubuntu box with a new faster MoBo/Pro/4g RAM/2nd...

Cheers, had a feeling it would be something like that, but not wishing to 'trash' the system, held fire.
Will do this afternoon and report back on actions for others to read.
Peace.

After successfully cloning the old IDE 80Gb drive to a new SATA 500Gb (and then removal of the old 80Gb), I noticed with GParted that I currently have some circa 389Gb 'unallocated', (I can quite...

Hi people,
Just a follow up and keen on your own opinions for next move.

After successfully cloning the old IDE 80Gb drive to a new SATA 500Gb (and then removal of the old 80Gb), I noticed with...

Thanks Guys. I decided to take the plunge with CloneZilla, it worked flawlessly copying my old previous system drive of 9Gb used (80Gb capacity in total) to a new Western Digital 500Gb in about 10...

Thanks guy, that's very helpful. Presume the new MoBo/CPU (Gigabyte M68MT-S2P/AMD X2 260) won't be tempermental about the new system drive (i.e the WD 500Gb), unlike M$ upgrades used to be?
The 80Gb...

Hi folks,
I'm upgrading my Ubuntu comp with newer replacement of MoBo/Pro/Mem with faster ones this week and hence upgrading my old 'tiny' 80Gb with a WD 500Gb to compliment my 500Gb 'home' on...

Cheers dude. I also found an older xorg.conf earlier, so I'll have a hack with that also.


Time for some RnR me thinks till tomorrow, will post my results later in week for future readers also....

Ok guys enough of the 'SiS' joke, (don't you find Gaddafi female bodyguards more interesting?). (-:

The laptop was mine bought new circa 2005 when I was teaching IT but I'm now more 100% Ubuntu....

That's correct - 'sis' - Sister.

The chipset is a VIA K8N800.
The laptop is not here at the moment, but I will be looking at it again on Tues/Weds this week (31/08/11) so any help before...

Hi,
Just read your posting. I have an 'retired' Acer Aspire 1360 which I'm trying to get running for my sister as I have given the laptop to her.

Ubuntu 11.04 has loaded fine but the resolution...

Sorted it with Kino instead.


I want a simple RENDER output solution to make home CD/DVD discs.
Simply,

1) I import DV8 footage via Kino from my Sony TRV 265e DV8 Camcorder (720*576p) - this...

To fix an issues like this I did the following part as suggested by 'luvr':

1) - un-installed all previous Libre Office.
2) - deleted all .openoffice.org and .libreoffice dirs in 'home' folder....

Thank you, that is very helpful. (:
I was of course considering first deleting as a whole the update O/O come Libre Suite then just 're-installing' it as I wasn't 'afraid' to do so, just wanted to...
