Xp is in sda5... My other laptop hdd triple boots okay, can't remember how I got that to work, probably installed things in a different order. Ideally, I would like to manually add a winxp entry in...

I bought a new 1TB laptop hdd yesterday, added windows 7, then used gparted to make an 18 Gb partition for xp, and about 44 Gb for Linux Mate 16.

I installed xp, then installed Mate, so I have 3...

Maybe I didn't explain it well. There was a four-branch menu on top of a three branch menu, and the words of one overlapped on the words of the other, so I couldn't select one or the other easily....

It was an upgrade. Yuck! Actually it's a fairly high-powered machine. I have to update my signature. Thanks for your ideas guys. If Shuttleworth doesn't change course, I think Ubuntu is done.

After waiting months, for the bugs to be ironed out, I upgraded yesterday. I should say that in quotation marks.

The new 11.04 install was not only sluggish, but wouldn't finalize a DVD I burned....

Or perhaps do you all have any other ideas?

In other words, can someone tell me exactly what the optical driver looks like? That way I can copy it from the Jaunty disk, which works, onto a thumb drive for use during the 10.10 install, which...

You should be able to format the partition using Gparted, then when you install from the Ubuntu disk you can select the partition, right click it and choose "edit partition" which will have a mount...

He's right, just download gparted (the iso or disk image) burn it to a cd and boot, and in there, you will see you can delete your win partition, then resize the linux one to be larger (the whole...

Yes but you need an additional step. Choose "Edit partition" for the whole partition and set the mount point to /

That, in addition to choosing ext4 or whatever fs you prefer.

Then proceed.

I'm trying to install 10.10 on a new HP (s5560f) with a very new LG Blu-ray DVD Super-Multi optical drive.

My old Jaunty disc installs and can boot from disk, but when it is installed the network...

I don't think so. I installed Win7 Ultimate today (someone Swedish gave it to me for free) and it's very crisp, responsive, snappy, pretty. I think it's better than OSX now. So as for the netbook...

Of course it's mod, which is short for modulus, a clock like circular counting mechanism. The clock is mod-12, which resets to 1 after 12 instead of 13. That's exactly what you asked for.

You can do that.

Can you not use your finger to authenticate yourself, then change passwords?

I don't think ubuntu is bloated either, you just need to reconsider what to run on your hardware.

Feisty was worse than Dapper, and I do think the six-month release cycle is too accelerated (must be based on commercial / marketing reasoning) but it's definitely not getting worse overall with each...

It's not apt, it's just network timeouts on busy servers. Try system > admin > software sources and find best server automatically, then redo your update that failed.

so-i-did-'er.

Generally, I have the same sort of issues with FAT32 and NTFS drives connected via USB. In theory, HAL is a hardware abstraction layer that should identify and mount any drives. Try connecting them...

Me too, just copy your /home directory to a USB drive, do a fresh new install of Hardy or Intrepid (Ubuntu 8), and copy any home files back to the new /home/ directory if you want them restored or to...

Yes, it's happened to my laptop, in linux and xp, and my wife's in xp. They both return google results in Japanese, right here in Toronto. :) Sugoi desu, neh?!!

Try disconnecting other monitor cables and ensure it's the only display selected.
