Yeah man sudo on it's own doesn't do anything.

something like "sudo deluge" or "sudo gedit /etc/default/grub" or "sudo reboot" will do something - like dead said, you need a command. In these...

I didn't mean that I guess as it's all in Farsi, my bad :)

I meant it more like an Iranian-based distro which is extra rare and I hated when I heard complaints that the docs were in your native...

EUREKA!!!!!!!!

After a quick "sudo leafpad /etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml" and outcommenting that xfce4-panel suggestion, all is working 100% as planned.
...

oh... let me correct myself.

I'm looking for xfce4-panel. I've been looking for both, but no luck yet. xfce4-panel is the target. I don't want to uninstall either or remove the package, laptop...

Just tried it, commented out every instance of $panel and anything else relating to xfce-panel, but rebooted and still it persists. I was searching in the xdg and any conf files I could find in there...

+1 for CloneZilla - used it a few times as a backup or when I gave a friend a bigger HDD and wanted to transfer everything. Works great.

remastersys is decent too for backing up your entire rig,...

WINE is a translator, not an emulator.

The programs for Windows ask the WINDOWS kernel (or any DOS, etc. variant or part) what to allocate to what process. This doesn't work on linux since the...

type "alsamixer" into a terminal and make sure the master volume is all the way up too :)

It's normally what you set it up as anyway, but just to be sure... had a run-in with a strange sound issue...

Holy crap man!

Wasn't this the Arabic or Farsi distro? I remember I think some months ago hearing about this thing and I liked it. I remember some idiot complaining about the Arabic or Farsi...

ArchBang runs very well on an old laptop I have, so does some old slackware variants I've tried on it. Arch is a little easier to use though, so I stuck with that.

Haven't tried sparky...

But...

So, earlier today I replied to a thread I started a couple days ago about AWN... and since I've been told it's dead and such - switched to Cairo like a boss which works about a thousand times better...

Okay, cool beans.

I looked around some, and yeah you both were right. AWN is dead. I'm onj 12.04 too so I thought maybe something good might be hanging around. It's still functional and looks...

So, once again I'm finding something simple I can't seem to get to work.

I bought the other half an Acer laptop a while back (P200, 4GB 1333 RAM, not a bad little work machine) and was convinced...

I had trouble with the 310 version too, it's the first experimental version that broke my system actually.

But, the following PPA is one of the most trusted in the debian repo's and is maintained...

I can vouch for some intel wireless cards kind of sucking.

Atheros or Realtek drivers that make them work are better than the intel drivers in Windows 9if you can make them work). I have an Asus...

No, it's not an ubuntu issue per se.

Though I will say it has become more and more of a problem with newer releases. It's a Samba porting issue I think, but I have given up still on that type of...

Don't even try.

Not that you can't, ubuntu has been prted to TONS of other devices thanks to the deiversity of the kernel and how awesome the developers are....

But don't do it yet because the...

Crap. that's exactly what that means.

Maybe this drive is copy-protected like a boss... anyone else have any input on this? dd and gparted are all very basic and can't really get past...

When it says "cannot get a lock on /var/lib/...." That means you might be running synaptic package manager, software center, or otherwise apt-get is running somewhere.

Open up activity monitor and...

oops, forgot again

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda

The "sudo" missing is why permissions were denied :)

Oh, lol just look for the terminal app

Or CTRL+ALT+T opens it up :)

If it shows up as unallocated you should be fine then. Go ahead and give windows a go and see what happens!

If you're still in the live dvd though, run:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda

just to...

Make sure Secure boot is OFF.

You don't have a BIOS likely, newer PC's with windows 8 ship with UEFI like Mac's have had for a while. UEFI boots things different too (kind of), and you likely have...

IDE and ACHI mode just means the way windows configures itself based on how the BIOS tells the drive to act. Your issue doesn't reflect that I don't think. Not to mention, after windows installs, it...

The driver screen... well we know that windows won't do it then.

Use the live linux media from that laptop to format it. At least from there more things can be done. INstructions are the same in...
