Wow, I was kind of hoping for a reply that would make me sweat a little less.

But I understand. I don't know how this happened; I know bad sectors are caused by physical damage to the drive and...

When I use Disk Utility, SMART tells me that my 750gb Hard Disk has 'A Few Bad Sectors.' The light is green and I get no warning that the disk is failing, but there are a few warnings in the...

Bump, because I still need help with this.

To do this, follow these steps:

Assuming you're running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, click 'Dash Home'.
Search for 'System Settings'.
Select 'Keyboard Layout'.
Click the plus sign in the bottom left...

I believe Rhythmbox works much like iTunes in the respect that it can index all music files on your computer. I've found that it indexes them no matter where they're stored. I've tried I've...

I'll try using a USB stick. Perhaps that falls into the 'removable devices' category. I know that works, because I tried to use the Windows recovery floppies at one point. One had a corrupt .sys, so...

Yes, I did. All three of them were, at one point, installed on my laptop, and I can go into a Live CD environment on any of them (on the laptop).

Yes, I forgot to mention that I already tried selecting CD-ROM from the boot menu. It only boots into Windows.

I'm trying to install Ubuntu (or, at this point, any distro) on my old HP Pavilion a305w. I had it installed with Wubi before (that was two years ago), but now I want a true installation, and I'm...

Alright. I'll do that once I grab my live cd from home. Thanks for the info on the grub too. Also... I did try using google. The search yielded no usable information. =] Sorry for asking a dumb...

A while back I had a problem with Windows (who doesn't). The problem was bad enough for me to uninstall it and install Ubuntu as the primary OS, even though at the time I had a true dual-boot of the...

I'll be honest, I don't really see Linux as much of a gaming platform. Originally, I installed Ubuntu so I could fall back on it if Windows started having problems. Now I'm using it for all my...

Well, to be honest, I actually have an AMD.

But actually, I just performed a reinstallation through the Live CD, and when I did it the Grub menu looked different. I think the problem was caused...

Bump.

If this thread is dead, I'll delete the partition and recreate it, and attempt a fresh installation.

My mouse has a tendency to click on buttons that say 'reply'. I apologize for his rude behavior.

The previous post seems like the end of a chain, so I'm going to reply to the one before that.

"...because Open Fire" allows anyone to create their very own unique fire animations, that, when...

Confession: I installed with Wubi back in early 2011 and thought it was a dual-boot.

^ Banned for acting like a boss. ^

I can't help you here, but you would probably have better luck getting help with this issue if you posted this in Absolute Beginner Talk>Firefox +1 Mega Thread.

I can think of two possible issues:

One: Your audio jack is physically damaged. Boot into Windows (or OSX if that's what you have, if you have any other OS) and start up iTunes or something, and...

You probably won't believe this, but I pressed CTRL+ALT+F1, but I was given no login interface, just a blinking cursor. I took it that this might take a while, so I left it alone for a few minutes....

I'll give it a try.

I pressed the up arrow key and saw all the processes loading.

Here's what it gave me, to the best of my knowledge:

fsck from util-linux 2.20.1
/dev/sda5 was not cleanly unmounted, check...

Alright, I'll do that. Should take just a a few minutes.

Just install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS from a Live CD.

I can select [Ubuntu, with Linux] from the Grub menu, and it will start to boot, but it'll just hang on the splash screen (the Ubuntu logo and the...
