Hi, thanks for elaborating on that!



Hehe, well I'd say you shouldn't be ashamed of a healthy dose of pragmatism. Luckily, there's usually also a >90% chance that one of your neighbours has a...

I read that a lot of Mac-users were annoyed with the "Smartware" software cd-image on this drive. Do you see any issues with this on Linux?

I'm a long-time WD fan, but I guess as a precaution I'd...

I realise this is a very old post, but thought I might help others ending up here from their search engine (this was the top result for "ubuntu sysrq laptop fn" in duckduckgo):

I got the same...

Ok, I'll share one too: k9copy.

Slightly different in step 1: just get it through the package manager.

Hope this is a good start: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/mysql.html (change the version number according to your installed version of Ubuntu...)

I've had the same problems here now and then... The best solution seems to be upgrading to a newer version: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578

Actually, it turns out it's a lot better than one in four. More like eight out of nine: http://ksplice.com/cve-evaluation

edit: @gnomeuser: I think that's exactly what that comment says?

The comparison would remotely make sense if you had a purpose for those rusty nails there... and even then, no. If I was American I'd start inserting links to informal fallacies here ;)



It's...

...because someone with sufficient privileges to live-patch a kernel wouldn't be able to wreak havoc in a million different ways already, anyway? ;)

I think you're right - of course they care about the customer experience. The problem is that with a few billion customers you can never please everyone.

This is where their monopoly position...

Sorry for reviving a very old thread, but this is relevant enough I'd say... http://linux.slashdot.org/story/09/06/27/2238255/Ksplice-Offers-Rebootless-Updates-For-Ubuntu-Systems

I'm suggesting to use dd to create a byte-for-byte image of your disk. After doing that, you still need to use other recovery tools on the backup image. It's your data, so do realise the choices are...

This is an unlikely combination of errors - why would the Win partition be affected when you were in Ubuntu when the battery died? Did you have your Win file system mounted? (and then still, why...

graphviz seems to have some of the things you want: http://www.graphviz.org/Resources.php

Essentially what that says is "only if the mount command tells you that sda3 is not mounted, do the e2fsck".

Don't do anything with the partition just yet (like reformatting or editing the partition table with fdisk or so). I'm pretty sure that if this is a standard ext2 or ext3 partition, and the only...

For that, you can try "xset b off" at the prompt.

Not a problem if it's a 64bit processor; Intel calls this instruction set x86_64 (edit: no, actually they call it EM64T), but in fact they took a license from AMD on the amd64 instruction set, and...

Hi all,

I'm on Ubuntu 8.04 (amd64), and trying hard to stop my bash histfile from getting truncated. I have a plain vanilla .bashrc (ie whatever is created in a fresh user account) other than the...

"Medium error" and "could not recover toc" seem hardware errors to me? I think that machine is pretty old (had that model at some point too, but without dvd transport) - so maybe it cannot read the...

Other than this thread in the Argentinian LoCo subforum, I couldn't find any mention of this, so I just thought I'd highlight that it is World Day Against Software Patents...

Hi Crom, great job!



I was browsing around a bit and it seems that indeed the device name is hardware dependent. E.g. here a multicard reader is mentioned that makes SD cards available as...
