I get the crash reporter when starting thunderbird from gnome.

from the command line i get:

what are the odds - 4th thumbdrive and it worked fine. My fault for buying cheap generics off amazon

As the title really. I can get to the grub screen but when I select to install I get invalid magic number and need to load the kernel first.

So what I've tried....

turn off secure boot in bios...

thank you - I'll try that

I was initially using an fstab entry but it never mounted and I pressumed due to the network not being up when the fstab entries where processed. I know the fstab entry worked in theory as if i ran...

I have the following in my /etc/rc.local

sleep 30
echo 'pre-mount' >> /home/phil/test.txt

Solved.

a regular cron job was creating significant errors and emailing them. Output is now suppressed and the problem has gone away

hmm,

looking at the files in the /var/spool/mqueue they are all local - not spam.

'MOperating system error' - being spewed out about 30 a minute.

I have some spurious characters in the first line of my /etc/fstab so cant mount /

I select M for manual recovery and plan to delete the dodgy...

ok - for anyone else;

sadly OO doesnt have classic gnome so it's choice time. When I rebuild my 11yo boys laptop recently I switched him to gnome2 on Mint11 - he's very happy. My 10yo however likes unity. go figure.

Still trying to sort it out. Wife says the pidgin solution isn't as pretty so I added the gwibber ppa and upgraded to the latest version and the problem still exist so I suspect they problem lies...

OK, I installed a twitter plugin for pidgin (Dont like empathy) and I'm back up and running, but if anyone can suggest a workaround to get gwibber working I'd prefer that solution

twiiter plugin...

empathy is a twitter client? I thought it only handles instant message protocols

on a fully updated Lucid Gwibber has suddenly stopped loading.

2 day bump. Anyone?

I'm on 64bit 10.04 and have used it today to try and force and update due to the XSS vuln ( http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/06/06/flash_security_update/ ) but I'm still showing as having a...

I think the title says it all. I want a quick way to crop images whilst retaining exif data (rules out shotwell) so when I upgraded lucid to natty (via MM) I kept f-spot.

However when I click the...
