Yeah, after I went into recovery mode and hit ctrl+D it restarted it again and found it without a problem. So I'm not entirely sure what is up. It did perform a file system check as well at that...

I have rebooted and it came back up after performing a file system check. So I'm not exactly sure what happened. But yeah, unable to mount or find /etc/fstab was the message I received. It worried...

So I was playing on my computer like normal. F-spot froze the system up and since Ubuntu killed the ability to restart X with the ctrl alt del backspace I had to reboot the machine. When I turned...

Finally figured it out on the KDE forums. I needed to install kdelibs5-dev and it worked like a champ.

Trying to install a KDE app (tellico) in Ubuntu. The newest version has a few patch fixes from the one in the repos.

I am typing in:

cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix`
...

Anyone had success at compiling the one from the website? The version in the repos is a little out-dated and I cannot for the life of me get the one to compile from source.

for encryption you can also use Truecrypt which is pretty easy to setup and use. TONS of tutorials online as well.

OKay, so here is the story. My memory usage looks oddly crazy. Wondering if anyone has seen this and what exactly to do about it.

I have 2GB (2x 1GB) memory in my computer.

If I open up...

I want to control my speakers remotely across the internet. I'm going on vacation and want to be able to remotely log into my PC and speak into a microphone on my laptop and call my cat. (yes I'm a...

No I have the same problems. They are VERY specific to 9.04 as when I rolled back to 8.10 the problems fixed themselves. Try using a more stable version of Ubuntu. 9.04 has been a disaster, I'm...

why not? It was a good thread.

Yeah, I'm in the process of updating my 8.10 install. That I, for some reason, cannot connect to my wireless router that has a hidden ID, WPA, and MAC address filtering on it. I don't think it's...

I've fallen in love with openTTD

(to revive a VERY old thread)

So I was trying to downgrade from 9.04 to 8.10 because i have had nothing but problems with this distro. It failed, but part of what I had to do was mess with my sources.list file.

Now when I try...

I'm having issues installing the gcc-4.1 tar file... I'm hoping this will work for me. How did you get it installed?

So, 9.10 has been a disaster for me. Apparently everyone else too.

I found some changes to keep my computer from locking up hard on me and so at least my computer quit crashing but my video...

I guess we will see. I only have one game I can't play and then I can't enable compiz but I leave that turned off all the time anyway. I stayed up all night. I appreciate the help.

I did that, I guess over the next few days we will see if it worked or not. One thing it did for me, was now I cannot use the proprietary nvidia drivers. When I activate them if I restart it pops...

Unfortunately the fix is for 64-bit. I"m still running a 32 bit.

Appreciate it. I'll have to go back and figure out how to downgrade back to 8.1 later this week. I'll also go add my info to the bug report list as well. Maybe if enough people show up with the...

So after I have upgraded to the most recent upgrade of Ubuntu every now and then my machine locks up hard. I cannot restart X by doing the Ctrl Alt Backspace, I can't even use the alt sysreq reisub...
