Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit. Brother MFC-J825DW all in one.

Drivers installed a few months ago per Brother instructions- a multi-step, time consuming process that did work great. Multiple options, great...

Get Parted Magic http://download.cnet.com/Parted-Magic/3000-2094_4-10663999.html and create the live CD.

Now boot from the CD and you can do anything you want, like delete the Windows...

Found the solution somewhere else. Looks like it WAS a bios problem. Went into the bios and disabled "legacy" usb detection and left the other USB 2.0 detection settings on high-speed, auto. I'm...

I just installed a Brother all-in-one printer MFCJ825DW on Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit by following all the requirements posted on Brother's website, and it seems to work great with one exception. I have to...

Your March 13th post worked GREAT on an old laptop with a fresh install of Xubuntu 12.04. It was an older Centrino processor with a possible burned out wifi section and a locked (proprietary) bios...

This is fine except that the choices in the dropdown list are limited. Full size is too big on a 27 inch monitor and 66% is too small. Is there a way to populate this dropdown list with more...

In case someone stumbles onto this in a search.

I have Ubuntu 12.04- 64 and I was getting all of the nonsense above. But I opened Nautilus as root and found /var/lib/preload/preload.state and...

Worked like a charm. Thanks!! Especially since trying to unravel the documentation on GRUB2 was no small task. This not only reactivated my original GRUB but also put the original default at the top...

Thanks for a quick response!

This sounds almost too easy, especially after reading some of the instructions posted for the GRUB Customizer application at...

Installed 12.04 64 bit on sda1 and later installed 12.04 32 bit on sda3. I want the first installation on sda1 to be my default OS only occasionally booting to the 32 bit.

I thought GRUB loaded in...

Thanks. I thought that perhaps the boot loader would have issues with only an extended partition for the main OS rather than a primary partition.

I found out the hard way about the 4 primary limit...

Wanting to compare 12.04 32 bit and 64 bit, I had 32 bit installed on the primary partition sda1. The remainder of the drive was unallocated space except for a small swap file in its own primary...

I have Ubuntu 12.04 running on one partition and 10.04 on another partition- both 32 bit. I plan to delete the 10.04 partition and install 12.04 64 bit so I will have 32 bit on one partition and 64...

Thanks all. Just the info I was looking for.

But how about the key question- 32 bit side by side with 64 bit?

Just installed Ubuntu 12.04 i386 on one partition of HD while keeping Lucid 10.04 as a fall back on another partition, and I am dual booting without issues. But I have bought more RAM (going from 1G...

Thanks. I have the toolbox installed, and when I try to get into any meaningful settings, I get:

Don't uninstall- try this.

I went through this on every installation till someone on the Amarok forums told me to open terminal and install all the dependencies:

Yep. Worked like a charm. Thanks!

Ubuntu Tweak was one of the first apps I put on after the fresh install- love it. But I forgot about that setting.

I just cannot figure out how it got turned...

Thanks. Sounds pretty manageable to me.

After this new LTS release, I won't have to do this again for FIVE years. Yipee!

Similar Issue- running Ubuntu 10.04 and plan to install latest Ubuntu or probably Mint on a separate partition, keeping 10.04 until the new OS is all tweaked. Then I plan to reformat the old 10.04...
