Here's the output of sudo strace apt-get -f install:


execve("/usr/bin/apt-get", ["apt-get", "-f", "install"], [/* 16 vars */]) = 0
brk(0) = 0x9fb0000...

Seems like any command run using apt returns a segmentation fault.

Already did.

I also tried installing apt from this package using dpkg.

Still getting the same problem.

Is it possible there was an error burning to the livecd?

Also, if your hardware is not supported, you could always try compiling the kernel yourself, it's possible there are configurations that...

I tried installing recommended updates and it said there was an issue with a package. So I tried fixing it through Synaptic and it returned some kind of error.

Now a number of essential...

I really can't use ubuntu until I know how to solve this issue...

Okay, done. Should be all the info you need...

How would I copy top's output to the clipboard?

I've recently had a problem with Ubuntu 10.04 freezing while it's shutting down on my Toshiba Satellite A305D. It does this weird thing where the screen slowly bleaches to white; it almost looks...

Another problem I've been having is that it's running fairly hot and the fan just will not shut off even after it cools down.

Sensors:

Bump?

When I'm shutting it down it hangs on the splash screen. The screen then fills with white in a weird way; it's hard to describe but it's like watching film become exposed to air. It almost looks...

I'll certainly keep that in mind; there's a lot to like about having a FOSS operating system, and yeah, a lot to learn.

Look, I believe in Open Source too, very much so. And maybe I just need to get more used to linux...

See, within an hour of using a fresh Windows install, I'll have about 70 to 80% of the...

Well I don't know about you, but I found there was a hell of a learning curve and a lot of configuration required before you can get windows-level funcitonality, especially with a dual boot.

I do really have a belief in open source software, that's one of the reasons I tried Linux in the first place. I definitely won't be without a dual boot anytime soon, and I'm not about to start...

There are plenty of excellent free and open source programs available for windows. In fact, that's about all I use.

I guess that's the thing I'm really interested in; the tinkering. What kind...

I have been having BSODs a lot, but really I haven't been spending all that much time trying to fix stuff. I had a virus recently but I'm pretty sure MBytes cleared it up. The time I do spend...

I'm just looking for a few examples of stuff you can do with linux that you can't do with Windows. It doesn't really have to apply to me, even. I'm sure I could find stuff that was relevant to my...

I installed Ubuntu... maybe a year ago?

I used it a lot at first, and thought of switching to Linux permanently. Then I realized that with some care and the right software you can have about as...

I've been running low on room in windows. I originally divided my HDD is half between windows and linux, but since I rarely use Ubuntu I don't really see the point.

So, can I safely remove...

In my past experience, Youku has been unbearably slow. Probably because it's on the other side of the earth, but still...

Google is likely the most powerful search engine on the web. Not only...

I see this is an omen of a future clash between China and the United States. Here we have a corporation based in the US, an established superpower, clashing with the Chinese government, an emerging...

Indeed it will. I'm glad Google has finally stopped supporting China's censorship. I like a lot of things about Google but that was one of the few that didn't sit well with me. Now I can have a...

That's pretty nifty... that's the kind of thing I'd like to see in 3.6.
