Been a few days without a response - apologies for the bump

Having a problem

Appears to be a similar issue to that reported in the thread below. Any time I try to open a jnlp file with IcedTea, I get the following error message "abcdefg.jnlp could not be...

Thanks - now to find a way to create a fresh 10.04 boot USB....

Getting a bit frustrated - downloaded the 12.04 iso to create a new USB boot drive (online using a 9.10 boot USB now). Created a boot drive on another USB drive, but when I try to boot from that USB...

When I ran the upgrade, there were a couple of updates on 10.04 that hadn't been run, but it had only been about two weeks since I last run Synaptic, so I just went ahead and ran the upgrade -...

When I do the apt-get install -f, I get a series of error messages that look similar to:

http://us.archive.ubuntu.com precise replease.gpg
Could not resolve 'us.archive.ubuntu.com'

After doing a search on Google, found a similar issue

The fix for that was

mount -n-o remount,rw /
dpkg --configure-a

Tried that, and seemed to at least do 'something', however it aborted...

To clarify

When I try to boot the machine with 12.04, I get a purple screen with four white dots and the message

"The disk drive for / is not ready or not present"

When I press 'M' for...

If I just 'continue', the computer sits there, with 'skip', it gives an error message (sorry, don't have a screen capture), and M sends me to a terminal window

(Tried sudo apt-get -f install,...

Upgraded my desktop from 10.04 to 12.04 tonight (Linux only computer). Upgrade process didn't show any error messages (although last screen was gibberish - just clicked on what looked like 'OK', and...

OK - resolved the issue, found the help from

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1200023

sudo fsck - y /dev/sda1 - then reboot

Google is your friend :)

After it shows this message, it takes me to 'initramfs' prompt

Good morning,

Linux novice here - Last night, my computer crashed, and when I did a cold boot, I got the following message (think there was a line above the first one, but scrolled by too quick)
...

OK - got my system to actually boot again - but still no luck on resolving audio/video issue

OK, ran the install for ubuntu desktop and can now successfully boot into my computer!

Now - to figure out why my video and audio are in fast forward mode!

OK - let me try to follow the actual instructions, since I missed the desktop download :P

Clueless newbie alert!

I was able to get into the GRUB menu and run the latest kernel in recovery mode, selected the dpkg repair, and then selected normal boot. This dropped me to a shell, and...

I was having an issue with my video and audio streams being 'speedy'. After reading a few dozen threads, I tried a fix that others said worked, however I made a botch of it, and now can't boot...

Newbie alert!

OK - so after reading a number of threads, it seemed that my problem is flash-related. I found a thread with a user with a similar problem with a fix (that others claimed to have...

Noticed a problem earlier this evening with my 10.04 system - it seems I have the 'speedy video' and 'speedy audio' issue that I have seen referenced in a few threads, however I haven't seen a fix...

Or, if you have Ubuntu 9.10

System - Preferences - Startup Applications

Unclick 'Login Sound' :)

Another possibility is to look at the BIOS. Under 'Integrated Peripherals' there is an option to Enable/Disable Legacy support of USB keyboards. I had the same problem with not being able to use...

Went back and reformatted the USB drive and tried reinstalling 9.10 - that didn't go well - just got the Unetbootin screen, couldn't do anything from that screen

Using the same ISO, and same USB...
