I haven't noticed an association with large file transfers; I suppose it depends on how you define large. My primary work involves use and conversion (to OO.org) of Microsoft Office documents, often...
I can't recall offhand if I used ext4 or ext3; I'll have to run fsck from the livecd so I can fix it enough to tell. I *do* know it uses kernel 2.6.31.10, which should be well past the fix.
I had...
I hate to revive this dreaded topic, but I think I might have this in Karmic-alpha5. I did a clean install of Karmic about two weeks ago, which initially worked fine, and then gradually started...
Thank you both for your replies; I'll play around with the solutions offered and see what works. Your rapid responses are, as always, appreciated.
I've successfully managed to set up a home dir syncing solution with unison, including firefox bookmarks. I've been unsuccessful finding exactly what needs to be synced for the layout of openoffice...
Does anyone have experience using Kaplan's online software and QBank for USMLE step I review on Ubuntu or Linux? Google returns few savory results.
Thank you; those are very good answers, and I will follow your advice.
I'm planning on installing Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and OpenSUSE 11.1 with the following partition setup. Let me know if anything is whacky please.
120gb drive
swap: 4 gb (system has 4gb ram)
ubuntu...
Swapping to a different kernel, as outlined in the bug report, seems to have fixed the problem for me.
I wonder. Most of the relevant bug reports point toward it being a specific kernel; x.x.x.x-11, whichever one ships with the 9.04 installation, and affecting primarily (exclusively?) the 64-bit...
I think I'll head back to intrepid until the storm clears.
For those wondering about the filesystem mattering, I've had this occur on a serp4, Ubuntu and Kubuntu 64 bit jaunty under both ext3 and ext4. I haven't looked into nvidia involvement yet though.
I've been dealing with the filesystem corruption for awhile now; initially I was directed at tracker as the probable cause, but I'm not so sure, since I thought tracker was not enabled by default in...
I'm of the "snags of their own making" category :D
I'll try that. However, a new problem cropped up. I used the system for awhile, and closed all the programs. I opened firefox, but it didn't display on the screen. I managed to find its borders,...
Running fsck from the partition manager on the LiveCD seems to have cured both partitions; I am able to boot and so far, it seems to be working normally.
update:
I was able to check/repair the root partition from the built-in partition editor on the live cd, and then mount it with "sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 <dir>". I did the same with the /home...
(SOLVED) Can't start linux; filesystem problem
SOLVED: The problem described in this thread was solved by booting via LiveCD, and running fsck (from within the GUI partition manager) on both partitions.
Quick: errors after upgrade,...
I was looking for a way to open (restore if needed, bring to front) any program on that particular workspace via right-clicking on the desktop. There would be a submenu or list of open...
Has anyone ever heard of a way to change the default behavior of the right-click context menu in gnome? I'm interested in finding a mouse-based window selector.
PulseAudio server intrigues me, but I went for the easiest solution in the short-term; I installed "Tangerine Music Sharing", which, with one button, shared all my banshee libraries across the...
Sorry for the slow reply. I agree with the other physician and student who posted after me, although I disagree with the comment that time should act as a fear-factor in your purchase decision. It...
The only thing you'll experience slowdowns on in a virtual machine, at least in day-to-day software use, would be applications that use video hardware; this is emulated in a virtual machine, so...
I think you got me backwards - the music is currently stored on the laptop, and I'm using the laptop's headphone jack as the line out. This runs to the "line-in" on the desktop, which has the...
