Oh nevermind. I'm pretty sure that the hdd on /dev/sda is bad. I just tried to install windows XP on it, again, only to have it say it couldn't be installed for one reason or another. Then I tried...
Thanks for the help oldfred. There seems to be a lot of posts about Flexnet on Sector 32 and grub. Everyone seems to fix it easily enough with dd. Doesn't seem to work here. Take a look.

I tried some more things, but grub legacy is still on the MBR. I booted the windows install disks, and got into the recovery screen and typed fixboot and fixmbr. The messaged returned successful,...
Thanks oldfred. I burned the lubuntu desktop CD so that I had something that was up to date and started again. I followed the directions from the

Thanks Cheesemill. netboot works for all of them, and I was able to choose the lubuntu desktop from the list.
I recently decided to install lubuntu on an old desktop PC. It's 3GHz P4 with a half meg of ram. I had openSUSE 11.4 on there, but KDE seemed to be too much for it. The install went fine, but it...
I am trying to install lubuntu on one of my desktop pc's. I was looking through the instructions to do a network install and it references netboot. Is this available for lubuntu or any of the other...

Alright, I've been stuck trying to mount my samba share for the last day and half now.:mad: I finally got it, sort of.
My samba share has been working pretty well, or so I thought. I can browse...
redmk2, I think the mount command that you provided is missing a mount type. It needs to be
mount -t cifsor
mount -t smbfsor something. Perhaps it would work without the -t.
Anyway I...
I have two desktop computers connected by a router on a home network. Samba is working beautifully and I can browse the network shares with dolphin. The names resolve to the netbios names and when...
Can you open a terminal and type?

Do you know the ip address of the windows share? If so type
sudo smbclient -NL xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
using the ipaddress of the windows machine.
Actually, the problem appears to be with the client, which is running openSUSE 11.04. The server, running kubuntu 11.10, is probably working fine. Not sure however, since I don't have a working...

Desktop #1 is running Kubuntu 11.10 and it has the samba server.
Desktop #2 is running OpenSUSE.

I started with an .AVI file that I shot with my cannon camera. Then, I used the FFmpeg MPEG-1 System and it worked pretty well. The audio with L.A.M.E. mp3 was choppy, so I switched the audio...
Looks like digikam 2.2.5.0 is now out for oneric. Has anyone installed this? I am thinking about trying it out.
Digikam 2.1 wouldn't import from my camera, but it would work otherwise.
I updated to digikam 2.4.1 from a ppa I found in this thread.

Now digikam crashes on start up. In the...
I can connect my 1 Gbyte flash memory stick to my desktop with Kubuntu 11.04 and copy files but it is very slow. Sometimes the system just hangs and I have to reboot. Any ideas? Until recently I...
Yes. That fixed it. Forgot the "-a"
I have a simple home network with about three pc's. I have a samba share on desktop #1 (adam) running Kubuntu Lucid, another desktop with Win XP Pro, and a laptop with Win7 Home (Joyce). I got the...
