Thanks, this clears it up! I'll mark the thread as solved.



Yeah, the install worked just fine :) I was just afraid that if something had gone wrong while creating the disk, it might've...

I downloaded the Ubuntu 14.04.1 .iso image and used dd to 'burn' it to a USB flash drive (which I'll refer to as sdX).


dd if=/path/to/ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdX

Hi all,

I think the title says it all: I accidentally removed my encrypted swap partition using gparted (well, not entirely accidentally :-\". I thought it was corrupted and wanted to recreate...

I set it as errors=remount-ro and it works perfectly :)

As a sort of follow-up question (a new thread would feel like overkill): can fstab deal with mounting devices to hidden folders, or can...

Never again will I use Windows for partitioning.. Actually, I touched Windows twice in the past year or so. And twice it messed up my system. Coincidence? I think not. :P

Thanks! It works now. I had to recreate the swap space because it had indeed become corrupted.

Should I add / to fstab with the errors=remount-ro option only, or should 'defaults' also be in there?

I ran Boot Info Script using the LiveCD and the results are pasted below. Also I think there's something wrong with my swap partition. It is not activated (System Monitor says I'm using "0 bytes of 0...

You can say that again;)



That would be awesome. I'll run Boot info script and get back with the results ASAP (I'm afraid I gotta run right now). It works for now, so don't hurry and just have...

IT WORKS! blueridgedog and Rubi1200: thanks for your help!

Before I mark this thread as solved, there is one small remaining issue. Because my partition numbering was altered (sda5 became sda7...

Allright, I decided to go with the Ubuntu structure, but unfortunately I keep getting the same GRUB error. Will now try to update GRUB - perhaps my partition numbering was altered in the process.

Testdisk is now done with its Deeper Search and seems to find all my partitions in a correct manner. However, because there was an inconsistency between Vista and Ubuntu with respect to considering...

I get a message that 'hidden sectors are present'. Should I simply continue?

Thanks! Now let's see if it works :)

I read through the TestDisk documentation and am now ready to use it - but I can' t seem to get it started from the LiveCD. Using apt-get I get the error "Unable to locate package testdisk". Do you...

Hello,

Ever since installing Ubuntu there has been a discrepancy between the info shown by Gparted and the Windows Vista disk management utility. As I never use Vista, I never bothered fixing this...

Does anyone know what the 'Command interval' setting does? It's in the 'Locking' tab below the actual commands. The default setting is 60 seconds, but I can't figure out what difference it makes when...

By the way, just noticed your symptoms include 'soft freezes'. Mine are always hard, while the occasional soft freezes are all X-related. Soft reboot combo is AltGr+SysRq+REISUB (though even that...

Having the same problem here. Not necessarily with mp3, rather using flash (but not exclusively that). An interesting possible cause was found in post #4 in this thread: overheating due to driver bug...

Random freezes & nVidia drivers in use here, too. I'll keep an eye on temperatures - hadn't thought of that yet. Usually I'm getting freezes while using Flash in Chrome/Opera (surprisingly Firefox...

What kernel version are you currently using?

Here the same problem usually (but not exclusively) arises while using Flash in Chrome/Opera (Firefox seems better..not sure though). I've had many...

As has been discussed before, the only authority that should be able to shut down websites should be an independent judge in my opinion. Never, and I mean absolutely never, under no circumstances,...

Although I kept the Vista installation that came with my laptop about a year and a half ago, I haven't booted into it for over a year now. Maybe it's time to start putting the hard drive space into...

Have you tried KMess? Meant for KDE so there are a few graphical inconveniences under Gnome, but despite that I still prefer it above all others.

Good to hear your problems are solved :) I'm having the same problem and although I'm not entirely sure, it definately seems related to using Opera in my case. Will try without and see what happens....
