Thanks, I tried that but I still get the error about core.img being too large to embed.

I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and reinstall. Seems the safest option, although it means hours...

No I've not made any changes to the disk layout. The machine has hardware RAID, four 1TB disks configured in RAID5 then presented as two volumes of 100GB and 2900GB, which appear to the system as sda...

Yes this system is about two years old and came to me from a vendor with the existing disk configuration, I've had no reason to change it.

I'd be happy to make more room at the start of the drive,...

Hi,

I just upgraded my home server from 12.04.1 to 12.10. During the upgrade, I got a message that GRUB could not be installed. I found some web pages suggesting to ignore the message and carry...

Exactly, what's going on here?

Maybe the flash-aid plugin is what's helping. I'm going to give that a try.

Or this bit:



I don't see how that would help either though, this refers to disk...

He can be whatever he wants, it's not the right way to make progress.

Your post suggests that it is a waste of time for the user community to air their views as they will not be listened to, that when people disagree with those in power, they should shut up or go away...

Sorry I have to pull you up on this piece of DoubleSpeak.

It's not choice when the choice you already made is taken away from you. That's forced changed.

Hi

Have you disabled your wireless before attempting to connect via wired? It looks like your wireless was enabled when you produced that output. Please disable wireless, attempt to establish wired...

There's nothing in what you've provided that indicates a problem. Please can you provide the output of


ifconfig -a

and


netstat -rn

At the top of the page is a link which says "Hardware compatibility list", you might want to look there first! :)

The biggest issue I have had with linux and hardware compatibility has been in the...

Do you mean your wireless doesn't work at all or your machine doesn't boot?

OK I've read the FAQ about how you can't change user names and I understand that it's normally something that you shouldn't have to do but my email address is out there getting scraped by spambots!...

Hi,

I stupidly used my email address as my username because I use it as a login ID pretty much everywhere. I didn't expect it to be my display name too!

Is there anyway I can get it changed?

Hi,
