Ah, you're right. I missed the fact that 12.04 has Xorg 7.6 and the driver from the AMD page only supports up to 7.4...
Well, that explains why it wasn't in the Additional Driver section.

Ah, you're right. I missed the fact that 12.04 has Xorg 7.6 and the driver from the AMD page only supports up to 7.4...
Well, that explains why it wasn't in the Additional Driver section.
According to Wikipedia, the RS690 chipset belongs to the Radeon Xpress 1200 series. And according to AMD, those have been moved to legacy support. See...
Actually, another thought occurred to me. You can simply use the UUID's to mount the desired hard disk. It's what Ubuntu uses by default in /etc/fstab anyway. See here for an more details:...
For your first question, you can use something like this:
OSDRIVE=`mount|grep "on / "|cut -d' ' -f1`
That will set the variable OSDRIVE to "/dev/sda1". You can then use that in if-statements if...
Have you check the logs to see if there are any clues there? There should be some information regarding ppp in /var/log/syslog. Any errors or warnings in there?
Boot logs are stored in /var/log. The ones of interest would be dmesg.0, which should the boot process for the previous boot and syslog, which is a log of almost everything that went on. Hopefully...
In addition to the parameter "acpi_backlight=vendor", could you also add "acpi_osi=Linux"? (without the quotes)
Also, what does this say?
cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
The answer is a cautious yes. It appears quite involved to get another OS on the Chromebook. See this guide by Ars Technica:...
Glad you got it working again! You might still want to consider the symlinking I mentioned above rather than copying the file from the live-CD. Otherwise future updates might fail and possibly...
You only need the samba server if you want to share folders from the Ubuntu machine to the Windows machine. You seem to want the reverse though. To access files that are on the Windows XP machine,...
That's not quite right. /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf is a text file. It's not an executable. So you need to type
sudo nano -w /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
(Or use vi instead of nano or whatever...
Oh, that's odd. I must be forgetting something about the syntax for chroot.
In any case, I think you may be on to something. This is the output off ldd on my Kubuntu 13.04 64-bit:
jarno@weasel:~$...
Heh, I did read the entire post, but "Ubuntu system files" was a bit generic, so I thought I would ask specifically. :)
Anyway, another possibility is that one of the libraries that init depends on...
You could try pressing <Ctrl> + <Alt> + 1 from the login screen to get to a terminal. If you try to login then as a normal user, it might actually show you some error messages you could use. Also,...
This may be a silly question, but when you mount the Ubuntu partition, does sbin/init exist? init is the number one process that starts everything else. If that's missing, then your system will not...
Well, reinstalling would most definitely work. But you said this happened on a system that you installed only hours ago?
Could you open a terminal and type
sudo apt-get update
Does it report...
You can change the environment variable PS1. If you type
echo $PS1
then you'll see what it is now. It contains lots of cryptic codes, but they are explained here for example:...
If you boot from the live-CD, you can indeed change your partitions using GParted. The Windows partition will be of the type NTFS, while the Ubuntu partition will be of the type ext4. Be sure to back...
The answer is actually on the page you linked to. :)
See here for instructions on how to do that: http://codelite.org/LiteEditor/Repositories
It might be related to this(from Wikipedia):
13.04 uses the graphics card quite a bit more intensively (depending on your windows manager) and could cause these problems to pop up.
Bumblebee...
I don't exactly know how fast the hp mini 5101 netbook is. If it's rather old, you might want to use one of the lighter Ubuntu variants, like Lubuntu of Xubuntu. Otherwise you should be fine with the...
It sounds like the video drivers aren't loaded correctly. What graphics card do you use?
If it's an NVidia card, does this thread help you?
That does sound like the hard drive has given up on you...
You can only download the iso. Putting that on the sd card won't let you boot it. You need a special program to write the iso to the sd...
Oh, hmm, it does say on the top of the guide:
Do you have a 64-bit install? If so, you should probably follow the Ubuntu-specific guide they mention. It seems pretty complicated to me though.
...
Ah, it's because the script is looking for that library in a rather dumb way. It expects the library to be in /usr/lib, but that's not where Ubuntu put is. Open the Install-LoL-on-Wine.sh script in...
