Yeah the disk is very fauly but I can't replace it yet
I found now like 700 bad blocks, and it fixed the filesystem but all of the files are somehow in lost+found after running:

From my experience with photorec it is made for recovering files, so it just creates a bunch of folders with files, and it doesn't keeps the directory tree.

Well I've recovered the partition but the problem is that the filesystem is almost empty.

So after my ubuntu crashed a few times(probably because of bad blocks) it completely stoped working and it showed me the grub rescue.

So I connected my hard drive to my other computer and ran fsck...

If I only had an LCD tv, all of my tv's are old big ones and I don't want to hurt my eyes.

Thanks you for your suggestions, but I was able to change to the classic ubuntu and then just add panels at the size of my broken screen.

Thank you, I've been trying to say that to my self aswell :)... saving for a new laptop

Just tried setting a lower resolution in the Monitors settings but it looks like it just centers it on the screen.
I hope there is a way but I wasn't able to figure it out, probably something very...

That is a nice solution, and I also found the grid options which also helped a lot.
But it would be a lot better if I could just maximize the window and it would maximize it to the visible screen...

Ok so for a while now I've been using a laptop with half a broken screen, which means that one half of the screen I can see normally and the other one is just white and colorful.

But one day when I wanted to send ubuntu to sleep instead of shutting it down...

Yeah, testdisk is bad for what I was trying to do.
But I found that photorec was exactly what I was looking for, they should change the name to mediarec or something.

Thanks all, I hope this...

I am searching everywhere and can't find a normal file recovery.
By normal file recovery application I mean that it takes and extensions, maybe a name or part of a name, partition and gives a list...

And for all those saying it doesn't matters, it does because as you see in imdano's results the second one is twice as fast.

and on my computer(ubuntu) the first one was about 6sec and second was...

Why not install ubuntu inside vista using wubi?

I want to disable those to save RAM, because this computer has 512MB RAM, but with a very bad hard drive, which can die anytime, so I am trying for ubuntu to use as less swap.

And they will never...

How can I disable some of the Virtual consoles?

I am using my ubuntu 9.04 for desktop use so I don't need more than one(for a case I'll might need it).
