<sigh> As I posted, the printer (Brother HL-2130 driver) is installed on a server on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. By implication and in reality it works fine there. SO we know the printer works on linux. As a...

.... that every day there is yet another mind numbingly, infuriating gem of nonsense this crazy OS is capable off:

1) I have a server (HP/Proliant) running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server.
2) There is...

The poster has admitted he's reasonbly new to all this and you're telling him to enter a bear pit of manic fanbois? ;)

kill, killall or System Tools > System Monitor?

I only use the LTS versions now. In the main it's done my blood pressure a world of good :P

... while I am having a whine, please point me a usable backup program for Linux. And please don't say rsync, cp -a, grsync or simple backup. The first three are slow when the user has a lot of data,...

?? OK, user backs up data. Update/ upgrade fails.

Now what? Clean install and fart **** about reinstalling everything before restoring data?

Instead of relying on rsync or cp -a and all their...

I was referring to an "update", but I take your point. And in my case some of the files in the updated were flagged as "security" updates. :(

Seemingly untested "updates" for LTS versions.

Today I was just about ready to throw all that linux (ubuntu) stuff out of the Window! My Mythbuntu 12.04 LTS/ mythtv 0.25 setup has been working...

Hi
I have a similar problem, but found that I can get a full image on the screen by changing the screen refresh rate in Catalyst. I changed from 50hz to 60hz and get a full screen.

However, as...

I'm pleased to say that Windows came to the rescue via Raise Data Recovery for EXT3/ EXT4

It's a pity similar excellent data recovery tools don't exist in the Linux World :(

Hi all,
I have four 1T drives that were mounted as an LVM on an unknown linux distro. The original hardware and boot HDD are gone.

gparted etc reports that the 4 drives are healthy, formatted...

I suspect that apart from the 'nix forward slash, those coming from Windows probably find the cryptic naming confusing. We should acknowledge that 'nix is the master of obfuscation :D

I so agree with that. My partner in the end insisted that I get rid of Ubuntu and put Win7 on her PC, despite my protestations.



It's probably the main reason it will remain a wannabe. (The...

That was it. Typo in fstab. I think I've been staring at the screen far too long :(

Many thanks.

Hi,
From Nautilus I can access shares on a NAS device mounted on my local PC. I can add/ edit and delete files using Nautilus, a shell etc.. I suspect I have mounted the shares correctly.

...

sudo apt-get install cifs-utils


I thought I had it installed. Alas....

Anyway, all good.

Thanks for the replies; I'll work my way through them and will post back...

Thanks. I'd tried all that. without luck so far.

Not as far as I know. I have lodged a support ticket with Netgear to see if that is the case. However, I wouldn't think credentials are needed because cifs mounts out of the box on my daughter's...

Thanks for those tips. I didn't know about /home/your-user-name/.gvfs

Not sure if this is the right place, but here goes;

I have a Netgear ReadyNAS nv+. The main shared folder as either cifs or nfs is //readynas01/media

The address of the NAS is 192.168.1.16

Maybe try another distro? I've dropped 'ubuntu in favour of Linux Mint & its cinnamon desktop. WHile LM is, AFAIK, based on Ubuntu, it seems to do everything just so much better. Audio works, it...

I don't know if this will help...

I have changed MOBOs in the past without too many problems and rebooted from existing hard disk drives. The main trick is to drop the video display back to something basic before making the change....
