I just found this in the manual for your aspire system: To activate the BIOS utility, press <F2> during the POST; while the notebook PC logo is being displayed

If you have any USB thumb drives plugged in, remove them and try rebooting off the ubuntu CD.

Awesome, congratulations. :)

I read the original post and saw WHERE the operating systems were installed. What I'm asking is more WHEN they were installed, and more specifically IF windows ever booted properly after install time.

Clarification question: Have you ever booted into Windows 7 after the initial install, but before you installed ubuntu? Or did you just install windows 7 then immediately install ubuntu?

Unfortunately, I'm not able to help you with that part... you need to read the documentation for your router and if no luck there, maybe try posting a new thread about it for some fresh eyes.

Wait a minute, I am unfortunately confused again.

In order to make a network connection from Y to X, you need two programs. One, running on Y, initiates the network connection and the other,...

I love linux: It only takes 5 hours to mount a thumb drive. :-D

It won't unmount if you have the folder open in your file manager, or if the program on the thumb drive is running, or if it's otherwise in use. In this case, your terminal session is currently in...

Yes that's exactly what we want; that folder needs to stick around so that it mounts correctly at boot time. It will just be empty if the drive isn't mounted.



Not at all critical. Possibly a...

I recently bought a Canon LiDE 110, it's dirt cheap, performs well, and worked out of the box with Ubuntu 12.04.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure it meets all of your requirements as I don't know if it...

No, because we used the UUID to specify it in the fstab, you don't need to worry about the drive letter changing.

Excellent. I fully expect that to continue to work for you forever now.



The /LEXAR folder IS your thumbdrive. It just doesn't look so much like a thumb drive now. The icon or appearance may...

Ok I found the bug : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks/+bug/498423

I'm not positive, but it looks like it should not be a problem after we reboot, as long as you are leaving the...

You need to put the slash at the front, so /LEXAR not LEXAR.

That still doesn't explain why the mount point is being removed every time we unmount.

What version of Ubuntu are you using? I am on...

That is Bizarre! Why is the /LEXAR directory going away?

If you recreate it (sudo mkdir /LEXAR) does the mount command succeed? If you then repeat the umount/mount does the directory disappear...

You should always make a backup of system files before modifying them, sorry for not reminding you of this in my original instructions. :)

Your line looks good, by the way.



First, try "sudo...

We didn't transfer the objects from the thumb drive to the /LEXAR directory; what we did was move the whole thumb drive from the /media directory (which is for removable media that you hotplug all...

I'm confused because above it was mounted on /mnt, and now it is under /media/LEXAR_.

Regardless, you need to do the following I think:


sudo umount /media/LEXAR_
sudo mkdir /LEXAR ...

Do this for me:
mount and then
ls -ld /mnt

The mount command will show what mount options are being used, while the ls command will show us the current permissions on /mnt.

My first approach would be to see if testdisk can help you: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk

I've never used it myself so pointing you towards the software and documentation there is all I...

I don't know what you mean by destructive or nondestructive recovery of windows. I assume that you mean taking some steps to restore data from a backup; what tools would you be using to perform this...

Let's focus on the above, I don't think fdisk is required or helpful for your problem.

My best guess as to what is happening is that you mounted the device properly before rebooting, but that the...

Perhaps... If I am reading your message correctly, it seems ssh is working fine and this is no longer an ssh issue at all, right?



Ok so I think you are saying that X is the local server that...

I think I need you to use more words. :) But I'll assume the following:
