Have you already synced it with iTunes? I'm pretty sure you have to wipe it clean after doing that in order to sync it with any other music service.
At least my iTouch gets locked down when I use...
I had someone ask me "why does linux always look so... old?"
Not true about the Rebranding. Very nice touch guys. I'd say especially the website. The GUI improvement is good, too.:KS
Edit: I do...
Sounds like a permissions issue to me.
Right click on the file and under Properties > Permissions make sure that the box is checked that says "Allow executing file as a program."
Or, if you...
wangsuda had the best advice. Just a couple things to add:
1) I didn't completely remove, so the vmlinuz and initrd files for the old kernels were still there. Grub still thought those kernel...
Why not try
sudo grub-mkconfigand see if it detects the XP partition?
Oh, and you should also run
sudo update-grub
See if it works.
This is risky. See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2
But I think you can get away with editing /boot/grub/grub.cfg (using something like gksu gedit )
and inserting:
menuentry "Microsoft Windows...
Wait! Hold it there. I think I told you wrong:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2
According to this documentation, for GRUB 2 you are supposed to edit:
/etc/default/grub
I'd say VM over Wubi myself...
But that technically isn't dual boot. Really, you just need to install the Ubuntu ISO to a CD and install it normally. The only tricky part will be when you get to...
All of grub's files are in /boot/grub/
I'm not in Ubuntu right now, but I think what you need to edit is the menu.list file (you'll need to have root privileges).
You can turn entries you don't...
I'm pretty sure it's Wubi. Wubi is not supposed to be a permanent solution; it's just for testing Ubuntu out.
You really should install Ubuntu on its own partition. That allows you to have other...
Look up "SayTime." Might be what you want.
Similar forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=608790 According to this, SayTime, UpDate, and date will all "say" the time for you.
Maybe Orca has what you want. But that's window reading. Not quite the same, but still interesting.

I really am confused as to why this was changed. I had the login disabled in Jaunty, updated to Karmac, and all of a sudden, it greeted me with the drum roll. Which is cool when I'm at home, but not...
Ah, gotcha. Makes sense now. I hope the launchpad gurus have it all under control... In fact, I know they do.
According to this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsNvidia
The NVidia GeForce FX Series is supported by Ubuntu. The driver should automatically get configured, and...
Ok, why did this thread get marked "SOLVED." Disabling Compiz just so that you can get flash to work INSIDE of Firefox is not what I call a FIX.
Compiz should not mess with flash in Firefox. It...
To my knowledge, you cannot mount the windows file system like another partition, because Wubi installs Ubuntu INSIDE the Windows Disk, instead of creating a new section like happens in normal...
The problem, as I understand it, is with PulseAudio and Skype not getting along. Skype tends to hog the sound system, not letting anything else past and not wanting to share.
In Janty, the...
Like I said, it's not beyond repair. Appears that disabling compiz (ie: by running "metacity --replace" or completely disabling visual effects) solves it (at least temporarily).
Still don't get...
Same problem here. I actually went through a phase were flash completely didn't work. Then I enabled a few of the repos that got turned off during update and got it back.
I am running a 64 bit...
Hey everyone, BTW, I have just downloaded Karmac and volume seems to be just great. Thanks for the great update, guys! The multitasking with flash/gnome seems to be fixed too. Perhaps there's still a...
I tried out Kmix, (actually already had it installed) but I don't know why you would do that unless you're using kde. It didn't really have any more sliders than the gnome alsamixer.
I am using wubi on my windows desktop. When I try to run it, I get this error:
There are three buttons - Cancel, Try Again, and Continue. No matter which one I click, the message reappears. I have...
