No longer dual booting for about a year.

I reckon that we will have to wait for nvidia to fix that bug, but so far I have been able to get around the freezes by using CTRL+ALT+F1 then CTRL+ALT+F7, this seem to break the freeze.

I am not sure if that is what did it, I tried a few things and upon restarting I was greeted by gnome 2.0 - like desktop. (Ah the old days). I then logged out and switched to unity. Apparently the...

Hi everyone,

I have made a bit of a mistake using 13.10, but the bug does not seem to be related to the fact that it is pre-release but something I did.

I was trying to install NX no machine...

The problem seemed to be related to the bluetooth.

I had to turn off the bluetooth (wireless) switch at my laptop and the trackpad would work normally again. I proceeded to remove both the...

Out of the blue the mouse will get stuck on right click and keep on selecting everything, if it is on the desktop it will make a selection box.

eventually it lets go, by closing the window or...

Had the same problem as the OP and the solution suggested(script in the link above) solved my issue.

hmmm, indeed I thought it was a compiz problem but does that explain why I had no admin rights?

"solved" by re-installing the OS...I had a separate home, so no files were lost.

first of all, it's ubuntu not ubantu.

Secondly, all you have to do is rename the file in ubuntu with a .txt at the end. In the future make sure that the text file you are saving has a .txt at the...

Le sigh... I was hoping to use this as a learning experience... oddly enough unity2D seems to load... still I seem to be locked out of my admin rights to some extent.

I reckon I am going to take...

Hi there,

I have had been using an acer aspire netbook for a trip and it has been working fairly well with Oneiric, my problems started when one of my family's computers went belly up and the the...

As far as I can see, there is no /home partition, so a new install would wipe your current home.

I may have to go soon, so I hope someone can take over here


anyway I found a thread with a similar issue

I hope this helps, I had a derp...

I reckon that your sda1 is your /home partition and your root, but just to be on the safe side of things. try this (should have asked that in the first place)


cat /etc/fstab


as for your...

from the command line you can use

is your /home in a separate partition?

better late than never.

the symbolic command for octave is

sym("x")

That seems to have done it, no errors so far. I am not sure where the f77 comes from, I guess it must have been a dependency for another package, but anyway I have removed all the packages related to...

Stil no luck, though I am not sure what you meant by running without the all-recursive. [oh, I get it now, though that was part of output, the command I typed was a simple "make"]

Anyway, I tried...

maverick, do you remember if you simply used ./configure or you used any other parameters? hmm, didn't think there was such a big difference between karmic and maverick

Hey guys, I am a little stuck with this so I thought I would ask the ubuntu hivemind for help.

Anyway I have been trying to biuld he newest stable octave into this amd64 box and though I was able...

right on the money, thanks.

hmmm, I have a similar issue on my hp tx1320us and also on the tx2100ed.

long story short, I cannot offer you a fix but a workaround, mostly a way to login.

boot as usual,then when you should...

hmm, thanks for the link but it's not quite that problem. I thought that maybe this was a kernel related problem so I tried to install lucid, actually linux mint 9. When I tried to run it in...
