Just to confirm, despite hyperyoda's being fixed, mine still does not work.

Sorry, I should have added that since getting all the updates the system has been rebooted; multiple times now actually.

Has anybody ever seen this before?

Just thought I'd let the world know that I also have this problem.

I'm running an nVidia 8600GTS and the proprietary driver installer doesn't get past 0%.

I also have a working network...

Bump

Thanks very much for the reply. Yes, the drive is definitely /dev/sdc. Wouldn't want to go wiping the wrong drive.

I'll try it again with the noerror option in a while and see what happens.

I have a particular hard disk in my system which had "bad superblock" errors and every now and again the data on that disk wasn't readable (often a reboot fixed). Unfortunately I wasn't able to fix...

I've just tried installing WoW on Ybuntu 8.04 and am experiencing exactly the same problem. I don't suppose anyone out there has a working solution do they?

Copying from a Windows installation is...

yeah, posting the output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list will help identify that problem.

as for pulseaudio, it might be worth setting your audio preferences to use ALSA instead of pulse in...

It sounds like the classic flash/pulseaudio issue to me...at least I think that's what it was. Anyway, I had the same problem and I think this thread...

Just letting you know you're not alone, no. I'm subscribed to this thread looking for a solution too :)

just to make the tutorial a bit more complete, you'd need to do a chmod +x on the newly created .sh file for it to do anything.

Hitting ctrl-alt-backspace together should restart X. You'll be brought back to the login screen but hopefully you'll see the new resolution(s) available to you once you're back in.

Going on the potential noob vibe ;) (just kidding) have you restarted X since making these changes? Giving it a ctrl-alt-backspace should make the changes kick in.

When you opened it in gedit, did you do so from a terminal window? I'm just wondering as the x in \X11\ is uppercase (if i recall correctly) and as everything Linux is case-sensitive if you typed it...

The virtualbox help is very clear so i'd recommend starting there but i think, from memory, you might need to start the xp machine with an iso mounted (the iso comes with virtualbox). If you look on...

Just stumbled across this thread...I have nothing of any value to add but am interested as a K3B user with an ISO burning session coming up.

So, I'm just wondering, apart from failing verification...

Sounds like a RAID array is what you'll want then. Basically, a RAID 0 array will give you the total capacity of all three disks in one 'virtual drive' so if you have have, for example, 3 250GB...

You might want to look into a RAID 0 setup or even better (if you have more than 2 physical disks), RAID 5.

I could be mistaken (and it's highly likely) but I think there's a way of achieving...

I'd start by doing a sudo fdisk -l (lower case L) and see if it's listed there. Not sure if you've done that yet. If it is you should be able to at least check the disk...if not then it could be a...

I'm not 100% sure what you're trying to do but if it's make an audio CD from some MP3s then I personally use an app called K3B. You can install it by typing
sudo apt-get install k3b into a...

I hope I'm understanding this correctly...it seems to me that rather than using NAT you'd want to use bridged networking. This is available by default in apps like VMware but needs some fiddling to...

The fstab entry looks fine to me.

So in the left hand pane of Nautilus the devices show up? That usually means they mounted ok. Is it on clicking the devices from there that the error messages...

Have you read this article? I find the network manager gui flaky at best and doing things manually is always a good way to keep the brain ticking over so see if this post helps you out.

I've never used Parallels but my understanding is that it's essentially a virtualization tool. If you're after something that lets you run virtual machines inside Ubuntu I'd recommend Virtualbox.

haha. cool cool. may i also say, that was the quickest reply ever!
