No one? Is Java working fine for everyone else??
I'm trying to fix Java on my 11yr old son's laptop. He's got a moc pages account (lego, my own creations) and they have a new java photo uploader that quit working for him. I did all the install...
The problem is that going to Android causes a whole new set of restrictions... It's sad that the market has gone this way but all my kids' friends have ipods and they all use them to primarily play...
Yeah, you might as well be speaking greek right now.
But I went ahead and formatted it to ext3 and copied all 800 gigs worth of files over between last night and this morning. I first tried to...
Yay! Operations completed successfully and fdisk -l tells me this now:
sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdd
Disk /dev/sdd: 2000.4 GB, 2000398934016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 243201 cylinders...
sudo fdisk -l has this to say-
Disk /dev/sdd: 2000.4 GB, 2000398934016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 243201 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size...
Thank you! I'm going to try that as soon as possible... What gets me is why a factory partitioned and formatted drive, new out of the box, ships like this.

Still playing around, but still haven't had any success...

I think the solution might be related to this post- http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11375535&postcount=17
If so, could someone dumb it down a bit?
thanks,

I have two brand new seagate 2tb drives. I just installed them in the computer and after running fdisk -l I get the "partition 1 does not start on a sector boundary" message. I check the disk...
thanks for taking time to reply...
I'm still on the fence a bit on weather or not to use an hdd array or do like you do and just do daily backups to another drive. It would really help with my...
First, I should explain a bit what my use case and requirements are.
I'm an amateur photographer, and shoot tons of pictures. It's really not hard to rack up 5gig of photos in one day shooting an...
I was just a kid last time I saw the original movie, so I found it on On-Demand and rented it to watch with my kids. Holy crap was it boring! I mean, I still liked it, but compared to modern movies...
I was wondering how you might go about printing multiple images on a single sheet of paper...
I used to know how to do it in Windows but have never done it in Ubuntu...
Thanks,

I've used compiz grid and maximumize plugins to accomplish this... When I'm playing around with python or bash scripting I'll normally have two terminal windows open, and a pdf, iether the python...
The weird thing is that on my home computer running 10.04 as my main os, has 0.98 installed, but the VM I run at work w/ 10.04 in it (both 64 bit), only has 0.91... Dunno what to think about that......
Sweet- thanks. Dumb thing to miss.

hey- I'm at a loss here. I've seen a number of instructions online that say to add either the elementary art ppa or the murrine daily ppa to get the 0.98 murrine engine installed. I did that but it...
I'm running 10.04 in a vm, it's where I goof off and not worry about borking anything (snapshots ftw) - so today I tried to upgrade to 10.10, but it tells me there's no new release found... What's...
Have you done that? I don't think that's true... I've done apt-get dist-upgrade before and it did not upgrade me to the next version. It's just a more aggressive upgrade, that installs more stuff,...
I have a vague recollection of this - I think there *might* be some obscure virtualization setting in your motherboard's bios that lets you run a 64bit guest os. I guess that kind of depends on how...
Handbrake ftw. I've used it a few times and it's got handy presets for popular portable media devices (ipod, iphone, psp, etc...)

Sun was bought by oracle so now it's Oracle VirtualBox. Go the the Oracle website, install vbox, and read it's documentation (it's pretty good) on how to create a virtual hard drive, and install an...
Ok, so I've done some testing, and have at least figured out what caused the problem. All my installed applications used to run properly, following whatever theme I had selected (except the update...
