    [ubuntu] Re: Ipod Sync

    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...

    1) I didn't completely remove, so the vmlinuz and initrd files for the old kernels were still there. Grub still thought those kernel...
  6. [SOLVED] Re: Can't boot Windows after Grub2 restore

    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.
  7. [SOLVED] Re: Can't boot Windows after Grub2 restore

    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:

    [SOLVED] Re: Removing Selections from GRUB

    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).

    [ubuntu] Re: Unable to log in after update!

    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...

    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.
