Before I try to set up a server I was wondering what they can do. I'd like to be able to open video files through that computer. I'd also like to host Teamspeak Server Software and video game...

I reinstalled Ubuntu. All works well now.

"ata_id[159]: HDIO_get_IDentity_ failed for 'dev/sdb' : invalid argument" is the error I get now. it says acpid: exiting and some text follows when I hit the power button to stop the flashing white...

I just installed Ubuntu, and installed the recommended Nvidia drivers that popped up. Then, when I rebooted, I choose Ubuntu in Grub, then it shows me a black screen with a flashing small horizontal...

Thanks. I'm still kind of looking for a guide on basic commands that we should all know. I just got Ubuntu 12.04 installed. I was also wondering how I could set Windows 7 to be my default OS instead...

I'm new to Ubuntu. I couldn't get it working properly last time but I have a new setup and I'll be installing Ubuntu on it. I'm looking for guides for an absolute beginner, and not just a list of...

Well isn't this all just very depressing.

I was wondering if there is any version of Silverlight that works on Ubuntu. I'd like to be able to watch Netflix on the computers I install Ubuntu on.
If Silverlight is officially supported by...

I see. Well, I used the alternate disc, because it said it was for RAID. I'll use it again once I get an SSD. I'm not entirely sure about the settings for the manual partitioning though. I looked at...

So if I put in an extra SSD, could I install GRUB straight to the SSD without touching the RAID drives? I want to have an SSD just dedicated to Ubuntu and I don't need access to my other drives when...

Thanks for the reply.

Even if I wasn't using RAID, I was more curious about installing Ubuntu to a separate SSD. Is it possible to do that without messing without installing GRUB, which is what I...

Would it be simpler to try to install Ubuntu on a separate SSD if I already have 2 HDDs running in RAID 0? I had a lot of trouble trying to get GRUB to work properly on my RAID 0 HDDs and I would...

I was wondering about that. I don't think there's a 64-bit live version.

ehh... boot repair gives me this error when I hit recommended repair.
"64bits detected. Please use this software in a 64bits session. This will enable this feature."

I'm downloading the ISO. Now...

"chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error"

This showed up after "sudo chroot /mnt"

No dice. It loads me into a black screen with white text that says something about GRUB. There's a blinking curser to insert text. Some kind of command prompt?

Also possible: This is supposed to...

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/mapper/isw_dicfhfjfjg_Volume0p5 /mnt
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/mapper/isw_dicfhfjfjg_Volume0
Installation finished. No error...

This is all I got.

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo dmraid -ay
RAID set "isw_dicfhfjfjg_Volume0" already active
RAID set "isw_dicfhfjfjg_Volume0p1" already active
RAID set "isw_dicfhfjfjg_Volume0p2"...

I don't recall it asking if I wanted to activate RAID.

I used the LiveCD (the 32-bit) and opened the terminal.
I used the "sudo fdisk -l" command and it gave me this:

Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801...

I received the same error while using the 64-bit alternate CD. I'm going to try what you said now.

You know what? I am running in Raid 0. Where do I get this Alternate CD? And I wonder what the difference is.

I've been trying to install Ubuntu on to my PC. I have Windows 7 of one partition and 200GB of free space. I've tried the express install feature with Ubuntu 12 (the top option). It creates its own...
