Hi all,

The title says it all I guess. I'm on Ubuntu 13.04 and today all of a sudden I realized the absence of these two options, extract here and compress, in the right click context menu. I do...

Yes, that indeed is a more elegant approach to set Relative=0 and enter directly the path to the mounted partition. Now I'm using your method :-)

Hi Matt, no problems, you helped more than you should've probably! I'm not 100% sure if I've made any manual installations. But notice that the OP in the link I pasted above starts with

-edit-
I solved the problem by following http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2094005 and doing the following:


cd /usr/local/lib
sudo mv libexpat.so.1 libexpat.so.1.BAK

and...

Hi again Matt, below are the commands you suggested and their results. I hope this helps:

Dear Matt, apologies for my late response. Below I tried to correspond to your comments.

Dear Matt, thanks a lot for your throughout analysis and efforts, it means a lot and is what makes Ubuntu a great community. But the system with the problem is my work system and I will not be able...

Hi, thanks for your reply! I have

No command 'string'...

Hi all,

I'm really not sure what caused it, but today I realized that I cannot launch Software Center and Software Updater either from the launcher or the terminal. Nevertheless, "sudo apt-get...

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your reply. Knowing that there is a solution, although suboptimal, is nice. But I actually was looking for another type of a solution such that when I open my computer, the...

Hi,

I can't get my NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 640M LE (hybrid graphics) working on Ubuntu 12.10. I tried many things all of which ended up with a desktop with either no panels/unity or low resolution.

Hi, I recently bought a Vaio S15 (i7, 12 gb ram, GPU and an ATA disk). Solving the dual-boot was a pain in the ass, as the working methods that are recommended for other vendors did not work at all....

SOLVED.

oldfred, thanks for all the help along the way. I appreciate the time you spent and also the effort. It is in a way funny, because your suggestion of enabling SecureBoot made BootRepair...

I disabled the SecureBoot, booted with Live USB and used the Boot Repair again. This time I unticked "SecureBoot" under Grub options because I disabled it prior to my Live USB boot as I said. I ran...

Hi again,

oldfred, I followed your suggestions. Upon a fresh Windows 8 recovery, I allocated some free space from inside Windows 8, enabled Secure Boot and installed Ubuntu 12.10 alongside Windows...

Hi,

Before you do anything, boot-repair or manual changes, I highly would recommend having a backup of your EFI partition, which I believe in your case is sda2 (but you must verify this yourself...

Could you please also tell me in what way to install Ubuntu. Does creating an unallocated partition from within Windows 8 is relevant, or can I do it while installing from Live USB? Would installing...

Hi oldfred, I have a quick question: Are you really sure that boot-repair does exactly the same things with what is suggested in those links? For instance...

Hi oldfred, thanks for your answer. Later today I will check if pre-installed McAfee might be doing some nasty "fix" in /sda3/EFI/*. I think that I have no problem setting the dual boot disabled. I...

Hi, I finally got it fixed, but it was very short-lived..
First of all, boot-repair does not work for me. What I did was to follow this...

Hi,
Thank you for trying to help. I deleted the sda7 partition, and restarted. It again booted into Win8.
I am sorry but there is *no* place in the Sony UEFI menu where you can choose for a boot...

Hi,

Thank you very much for the reply, greatly appreciated. Howeverwhen I read your message, I was doing my 4 (or 5th maybe) ubuntu installation, this time following another sort of tutorial. What...

Hi,

Can you please provide a complete list of actions to achieve Win 8 - Ubuntu 12.10 dual boot on a Sony laptop? I followed this thread from start to end but it is fragmented which makes it not...

Hi,

Just wanted to note it's the same story for me as well (while using Calc): Weird behaviour of the top panel menu, as it sometimes does not appear. Frequent crashes..

Ah. Been looking around for this. Thanks so much.
