Over the years I have seen this type of error message and, with time, somehow it has always just cleared itself. Frankly I'm getting tired of seeing it {for several weeks or so..}, and would like to...

I {obviously} am neither staff or an official member of this auspicious group and am not sure if I should post, although I have been around for a while.
I have no hesitation whatsoever in...
Might I suggest that you first md5sum the ubuntu ISO and make sure the output matches exactly the hash that is usually provided at the site in which you downloaded the ubuntu ISO? Even if you...
And, the "Solved" button is your friend {it also helps others}, please use it.

Well, I didn't want to list the problems with wubi; too time consuming.
Another great resource is the #ubuntu channel on Freenode via IRC. You'll need an IRC client; might I suggest X-Chat, for...
No, there shouldn't be anything (of consequence) if you just "Try Ubuntu." If you do decide to install (dual boot, NOT wubi), alongside windows, especially if you're planning on shrinking the NTFS...
It might be helpful for you to mention the version of ubuntu, that you are using, in your posts, as it may make a difference in the answers that you receive. :-)
HTH,

I don't see why not. That said, I haven't used that particular model but, ubuntu seems to work well on most Dells.

Totally as a side note. If you decide to shrink your 112 GB NTFS, to make some more space for the other partitions, boot to Windows and defragment your C:\ drive, at least twice. It's also strongly...
Congrats! I'm glad that you got it fixed. You may wish to mark the thread as "solved."

3.2.0-29-generic-pae is in fact the current kernel. I'm not really sure what you mean by a "normal boot". I have always (since 2007), been presented with a kernel selection page upon boot; that may...
Also, make sure to md5sum the ISO that you've downloaded; even if you've acquired it (the Ubuntu ISO), through peer to peer protocol (torrent) which has error checking, it's best to be absolutely...
Thread closed. {Silliness}.
Oh, I forgot (with that diatribe, above, you're wondering, how could that clown have forgotten anything).
As a suggestion and or question, why did you leave the formatting of that ext. drive set to...
First, what was stated above ^ . I didn't know anything about all of that; thank you very much mastablasta for enlightening us :P .
Second, I noticed that the ext. HD in question is a Seagate,...
Sounds hardware related to me as well. Perhaps you might run "Disk Utility" program in order to check the ext. HD. It should be {Disk Utility}, installed by default.

I'm experiencing the same 'no login sound' problem. I get the "Bongo drums" with the password prompt but then nothing when login takes place. 12.04 Desktop, 32 bit.
TIA, Side
OK; by your post above it would appear that "backintime" does essentially the same as "Grsync." That is, uses the rsync command. I would assume that you set all of the various 'exclude' and 'include'...
Excellent point ajgreeny! I didn't even consider if grub is on the secondary drive; that would require a re-installation of it on the primary. Nice catch.
{Side hits himself in the head with a...
I've never used the "Back-in-Time" program so I can't really help you troubleshoot it, sorry. That being said, for backup purposes I have always used "Grsync." It is a gui based program that simply...
I'm terrible with scripting; as long as you don't have too many files with the dreaded spaces in their names, you could always just rename them to something like
file_1.txt. But you probably already...
First, I'd back up the primary and any data that you might want to save from the secondary. Then simply format the secondary (ext3 or ext4). Make certain your formatting the correct drive. Once you...
WADR, I believe that it should be:
gksudo gedit
Please correct me if I'm wrong (happens all the time) as I'm still learning the many nuances..
Side
I believe that in Update Manager, under Settings there is a place to "tick" Show New Distribution Releases. Just "tick" (check it) it and it should then give you that option.
HTH,
