You are using the nvidia driver, so to determine the version you can either search synaptic for 'nvidia' and see which version is installed or run nvidia-settings which will also give you the version.

Alt-F2 will bring up the run dialog. Enter the command
xkill and then click the non-responsive window.
If your only doing this once or twice copying all the debs from /var/cache/apt/archives to the same location on each machine will probably be enough. If you want something more powerful look into...
I have a little python script that is generating thumbnails and colour information for about 2000 photos (in time this may grow). Generation of the photos creates a PIL image.
I am trying to...
These are good suggestions, I think the reason I went with the rm /dev/sd* approach originally was because the OP in the older threads didn't want the drives visible at all.
I'm not sure if using...
That would be your extended partition. A disk with a DOS partition table can only have 4 primary partitions, using a extended partition allows you to increase the number of partitions. The extended...
Could you post the output of the command following commands both with and without the script in place:
ls /dev | grep sd
mount
#then mount using nautilus
mount
Just stumbled onto this thread while trying to sort out something related (unable to get maximumize working on dual/singgle under Debian lenny if anyone wants to be helpful).
I have seen a few...
Hi chinmaya_n, Im zero-9376 the author of the original post that was referenced in previous replies.
Since posting that information I have learnt that you should use the /etc/rc.local file if you...
dromichaetes I don't think that the S3 cards/drivers support using compiz/desktop effects. Intel, Nvidia and ATI are the only cards that are supported. Google can probably confirm this.

Just a guess but perhaps the UUID of the partition has changed, did you resize it at all. See here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingUUID
You could try repairing grub, there are many guides...
If you are going to take the time to reply why not try and be a little more helpful? The dell laptops can come with a wide range of graphics options and knowing that its a 1525 might not be enough,...
Glad you were able to find all your stuff.
If you are planning on installing ubuntu again you may want to copy /var/cache/apt/archives (probably in /media/disk/root/.local/share/Trash/files)....
As you can see the file system is reporting 61GB of space used, this is definitely a good sign. Now its just a matter of figuring out where the data actually is. Can you please open a terminal and do...
Have you tried just opening the device file for the floppy as per my first post.
Because you are using virtualbox I don't see any advantage in using a real floppy disk (apart from the slower speed...
Sorry I missread your original post, I thought you had deleted the file while running knoppix.
I would have thought that if running as root the files should ALL have been stored in /.Trash-0 and...
How were you trying to write to the floppy?
Virtualbox might not be able to access the drive because of a permissions problem depending on how it is trying to access the drive.
It's pretty...
That doesn't sound promising. If you can please try and describe what you did to delete the files and everything you have done since.
Just to make sure you are aware, if you run that command while your secondary drive is still mounted you will still loose everything.
ARGHHH STOP THE MADNESS!
A PC with those specs should run any version of X/K/Ubuntu perfectly well so can we stop recommend people download another 700mb just to try a different desktop...
I've never done this before and would be interested to know the reason for doing so but how are your trying to open the disks? You should be able to open /dev/fd0 (or whatever floppy devices are...
It seems that you were running as root when using the knoppix livecd. As such all the deleted files should be contained in the /.Trash-0 folder (where 0 is the UID of the user and the root user is...
What you want is nautilus-image-converter which will give you the right click option and works with multiple files. For posting to places like facebook etc I would suggest using something like...
Just a guess but are you sure that grub can handle ext4 volumes?
Honestly I'm not sure if this is even close to what you are after but you can have a look at the results of this search and see if they match what you are after.
