Solved it! Well sort of solved, anyhow, after a longish break from trying. After much searching and swearing I have a workable solution and I've come to following conclusions:

- you can't...

I've just installed 10.04 on an old system. Hardware is:

- NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT video card
- Gigabyte EP35C-DS3R motherboard with 3 gig ram, few TB of hard-drive
- dual monitors, both...

I can confirm this one. Same issue, though in my case not too serious as I can get everything except ch 31 on digital.

Just got the same message here.

Same problem on my work computer. Is this just a glitch, or has this branch been terminated for good and I have to do a complete reinstall just to add some packages?

EDIT: looks like I missed the...

UPDATE: I found that avidemux can extract the audio (but requires a mixer to convert to mp3 for some reason). Now I just need to find a way to recombine my sound-free video and the audio tracks...

I'm having difficulty ripping some dvds I recently purchased. Acidrip crashes when I try to rip them and vlc can't play them so I can't just redirect its output, but dvd::rip is able to rip playable...

OK, I got called away yesterday, but on logging in this morning it seems that the problem has righted itself overnight, which makes me suspect you were right in suspecting the cable as the...

Hi

I've had my desktop set up with a wired connection to a netgear DG834G ADSL modem/router for a while now and not had any problems. Even yesterday it was working fine. However today I find...

Problem sorted. Seems there are .Trash directories on each separate physical hard-drive. In fact for some reason the hard-drive in question had two of them in its root directory, so I just had to...

That's odd; I just checked and my system has all updates installed. But thanks.

I have a similar problem - files in the Trash that won't delete. However both folders ~/.local/share/Trash/files and ~/.local/share/Trash/info show up as empty:

Being paranoid, I habitually make ISO images of all my DVDs and CDs and keep them on a 1TB backup drive "just in case". Now I would prefer to use the GUI to copy discs, but I've noticed that when it...

OK, I finally got time today to sit down and sort out the problem. So just in case anyone out there experiences the same problem here is a solution that worked for me:

- unplug all hard-drives...

(sorry for the delay... travelling from home to work)

I'll give the 64bit version a go, but I'm not sure how that would help with this problem. As noted above, the CD itself boots fine, finds...

- Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition - Supported to 2011
- Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM, AthlonTM, SempronTM)

As per first post my specs are:

RAM: 4gb
VGA (graphics): Asus N6600

I'm not sure what you mean by iso?, but if that means dvd player then:
cheap liteon sata dvd writer

EDIT: if you mean...

EDIT: ok, I fixed the boot flags, so updated output is:


Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes

Hi

I've just updated my mb and processor and added yet another hard-drive. I can boot just fine from the live cd, but I can't seem to complete a successful installation. It seems to install, but...

Thanks, that works perfectly (and looks like something I *should* have been able to find on google... except that I was being too specific in my search :oops:).

Hey

I have my CD collection on a 500G drive in both WAV (backup) and MP3 (actual daily use) format. Anyhow, due to a misunderstanding with sound-juicer a whole bunch of the more recent WAVs were...

Oh, and if you need multiple tries to get it right, is there some way to avoid repeating the whole download+setup+compile+install process? Say by starting at the setup point?

I'm currently using the kernel: 2.6.15-27-686 #1 SMP PREEMPT, and thought I'd give this a go to see if I can speed things up some more, and maybe access something more than the 2.7GB I can see of my...

Reasons I use linux:

- I care for free (as in liberty) software.
- As an added bonus, ubuntu is free (as in beer). Mmmm, beer.
- It does what I want in style.

and the decider for me:

- I...
