Thanks for the link, Toz. My system is in fact up to date and it seemed that toggling the 'Lock on suspend' option off and on as suggested worked at first. However, after a few times locking it I...

I get a black screen every time I close my laptop lid after entering my password. The only way to fix it is to press Ctrl + Alt + F1 and enter

Alright that's not helpful... I realize that there's risk in everything but is it relatively safe to expand a NTFS partition or not?

This forum might not be the best place for this question, but some people here are pretty knowledgeable and may have more insight than I do about this.

Setting the DNS servers to my gateway address worked!

Thanks a bunch everyone

Thanks for the reply

Yes you're right, I can ping my gateway and my own computer when I have those settings. I can't ping google however and my DNS server is "unreachable", so it seems to be a...

No one knows of a solution? Ugh... I guess I have to use Fedora then

I'll post the results of ifconfig and...

Ugh... sometimes Linux drives me crazy.
Anyways, I've been trying to set a static IP for hours so I can have an SSH server on my computer.

FSTAB: /dev - UUID entries



If you run an older version of Ubuntu or simply have a fstab with /dev/* entries for whatever reason, you might benefit from this script.

You can manually change...

Yeah, if your user name is 'user' then it looks like you have a home folder with the correct permissions and everything. I really can't tell you what to do from here. If you haven't tried it...

Umm, well that shouldn't be a problem unless you created a separate partition for your /home folder, and I doubt you did that. What's the output of

ls -l /home

And what exactly did you do...

To do that just go to any Nautilus window (your window manager), click on Bookmarks > Edit Bookmarks...

After you run 'sudo apt-get install grub' you have to run 'sudo grub-install /dev/sda' where /dev/sda is the location of your hard drive that you want grub on. If you only have one HDD it will most...

Try to download it from a mirror near you. Also, on that same site there are torrent downloads if you are...

By downloading I'm guessing you mean the install, I don't think you'd be having troubles with downloading Ubuntu, but maybe you are? If it is the download, then I would suggest trying a different...
