Update 2:
I had another crack at this, it was an interesting problem to work out.
In short. Reinstalled fresh download of 12.04
1. Deactivated privoxy.
2. Set my laptop MAC as DMZ via my...
Hi,
I have 100GB of photos I would like to back up on to DVD for remote (safety deposit box) backup.
I looked into brasero, but the documentation is lean. I searched online and the forums with...
Update: Unable to get 12.04 to update/upgrade despite all the suggestions, sudo, and reading.
Downgraded to 11.10, works. So the work around at the moment is to stay with 11.10.
Thanks for you...
Thanks again for your insight. I did try the commands on the last line, with no effect. I tried to update via terminal and via the GUI.
Here are the commands:
sudo apt-get update...
Thanks for all you insight, here is a summary of events:
1. I have selected all the radio boxes suggested by garvinrick4
2. I have corrected my apt-get update, apt-get upgrade
3. I have tried to...
Hi,
I just did a fresh instal of 12.04, then ran
sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get distribution
it did not instal the updates
When I tried the software center to...
Do the other lines work ok if you run them individually?
- yes, I tested them.
One unexpected problem with my .sh was that it is run as root and now I am having permission problems with the...
Hi all,
It has taken a long time, but I have finally prepared my first .sh script.
Problem: it is a rsync task that contains 3 lines. Only the first seems to be running, then the next two are...
This post was likely lost in the quick moving posts of the new release. This is a goodbye to my old friend backintime.
This is an update to say this remains unsolved, despite multiple attempts to...
Hi all:
Problem: backintime fails, b/c new permission problem.
Background: Back In Time 1.0.6, ubuntu 11.04 64 bit. Was working flawlessly until 10 days ago. Then I noticed that it was getting...
I do lament upgrading to 11.04, my 10.04 LTS was working well, but I was unable to get my new computer to boot from any iteration of the LiveCD. It got hung in the text part of the CD spin up. I went...
Thanks, sorted it out. My question about why it worked in 9.04 but not in 11.04 remains, but the issue is resolved.
Found this beauty of an explanation:

Oops. The story of my ubuntu adventure to date is fraught with misadventure.
My current dilemma: tried to enable CompizConfigure Settings Manager, enable desktop cube, then tried to get back to...
Great stuff, thanks for spelling it out.
My question that comes out of this is what is different? I mean to say that my ubuntu 8.10 install was chown 700 with no error message, then that change...
Great summary, thanks! This is making sense, even to a non-computer background type like me.
I guess the only remaining question is how do I escalate my permissions to be able to
sudo chmod...
Ok, here's the output for
cd ; ls -al | grep .ssh:
drwx------ 2 stonemason stonemason 4096 2011-05-25 22:27 .ssh
I did start another thread about chown vs chmod in Installation &...
Thanks, that makes some sense now. I admit any man or mildly technical explanation drops me into uncharted depths, your simple explanation helps me understand.
But from that a few questions.

Hi all,
Just rebuild my computer after MOBO failure. I have done a fresh install of a single boot 11.04 and I have my old HD (ubuntu 10.04 LTS). Is there a way to move a incomplete torrent from my...
hi all,
i'm a bit out of my depth with this questions. i had to rebuild after a mobo failure, and a few other bumps that wouldnt allow me to copy my HD into my new tower. now i have installed...
Interesting. I think this is the issue, as I have not yet choen 700 /home yet. I was between encrypting it vs 700 it. When I get a chance I'll change that and get back to this post. Thanks again for...
Update:
I excluded .ssh from my backintime sync and it worked. All my files are backed up except for that .ssh folder. Not sure what the consequences of this change will be, but got it done for...
Update: it looked like my workaround was working, but when I woke up this AM - I received the same ssh error message when backing up to my USB HD via backintime. I'll try grsync now and see if that...
Work around #1 - saved to USB HD for the moment, data is backed up.
Thanks for looking.
