I run iTunes (10.2.2) under Windows 7 inside Oracle VirtualBox and use this to sync my AT&T iPhone 4. This works fine and I have been able to sync my iPhone apps and music successfully.

Today I...

Thanks for the help.

The problem is solved, but I'm not sure exactly how.

I did the "modifyhd" command, then I downloaded an .iso of gparted and pointed the VirtualBox to that and "booted"...

I have an HP (64-bit) desktop with Ubuntu 10.10 as the host OS. I have Oracle VirtualBox 4.0.6 and within that I have created a Windows 7 Virtual Machine. I created the VM with 20 gigs of memory, but...

Here's a screenshot of all four OSes, playing together.

Well, it's all done. It took about four hours, or about an hour for each OS. Had a crash or two during each install, but managed to recover. One thing that I forgot to do was to make myself a member...

Cool!

Here goes...

By the way, is there a thread explaining how to make a separate "home" partition? That's not part of the usual installation process.

I never thought about it before, but a separate "home" partition would be handy, especially because 10.10 allows you to encrypt it.

I think I will reinstall from scratch, before I have more time...

Let's see if this screengrab attaches properly using the paperclip tool...

Last week I bought an HP desktop with an AMD-64 processor and a terabyte drive. Win7 was already installed. I installed Ubuntu 10.10 (the 64-bit flavor) as a dual-boot system and that seems to work...

The solution I used was to edit my xorg.conf file and add the appropriate modeline, which I found here:

I just got rid of my Dell P990 CRT and replaced it with a Samsung B2330H LCD. I got the resolution changed to 1920x1080 at 60hz through System/Preferences/Monitors and the new display looks great!...

Problem solved: I just changed the IP of the desktop machine from 192.168.2.104 to 192.168.2.109.

Now both computers ping each other and they can share files again. I spent several days going over...

I have an ancient laptop, an IBM T-20 with a Pentium 3 and 250 megs of RAM, which works great for blogging and email. I have used Ubuntu on it for nearly four years now.

Last night I upgraded...

Cycling the router didn't change anything.

You're right, the laptop does have identical settings for the firewall.

I'm going to try to power-cycle the router, then the computers.

Here it is:

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination ...

I have a Ubuntu laptop (192.168.2.102) and a Ubuntu desktop (192.168.2.104) on my home network. Both computers connect to the internet just fine. Both computers ping the router OK, and they both ping...

I re-edited fstab to read:

UUID=d7c7179f-d775-49ff-889e-661d6d188452 /media/disk ext3 defaults 0 0

and this seems to have done the trick. It reboots and auto-mounts just fine. Apparently the...

I followed the instructions in the tutorial.

I edited fstab to add:

/dev/sdb1 /media/disk ext4

and this worked for a while - the music player found the music again - but after rebooting the...

I upgraded my desktop computer from 8.04 to 9.10 last night.

The second HD, which contains all of my music, used to mount as:

/media/disk/AllMusic

Now it mounts as:

I use a Linksys WRT54G router for wireless connections to my two Ubuntu PCs. There is currently no encryption on this network. I would like to add encryption. I have tried to add WPA Personal and...

After using it for playback and editing, I have to add that Audacity is not ready there, either. It freezes, locks the computer, loses data and hangs. When restarting it tries to repair or recover...

Here are my experiences with Audacity.

I have a Dell Dimension E520 desktop with a clean install of Hardy Heron.

I installed Audacity 1.3.4 to digitize some old 1/8” audio cassettes. I...

I have a clean instal in Hardy with all updates. Every time I boot-up the log-on screen appears in a resolution which my monitor does not support. I would like it to boot into 1280x1024, but it seems...
