Are you sure?
Can you post the output of the following commands (you can just copy-paste the whole block into the terminal and copy the result back here)


#show currently mounted disks, the -h...

http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-convert-bincue-files-to-iso-in-ubuntu.html - second result on google

Also you can just dump them straight to iso, no need for bin/convert. I forget exactly how to...

I suspect probably not.

But! you can probably dump the ods file to a csv (which is a text format), then search for and print out the data with any number of tools (bash:grep/sed/awk, python,...

No can do, the netinstall still needs to boot a linux kernel at some point, and I can't make that happen. I've tried the netinstall kernel already with no luck.

I have a macbook pro 4,1 which does not have a functioning cd drive. I'm trying to install ubuntu by loop-booting an iso from the hard drive (or a usb drive, or using the netbook kernel, or the...

You could also try making a live usb that you can install from, if there's something strange with your cd drive that might be better than making a bunch of coasters.

The easiest way is to use...

I know the 9.10 installer had some problems, why not try the latest version (10.4) before considering a different solution?

For any sort of network configuration on the command line, the ultimate tool is iptables, which is installed be default (i believe), but it's not particularly user friendly (it's designed to give...

Probably that file is not a real file.

In unix-like systems (linux is unix-like) everything is represented as a file that can be accessed through the filesystem somewhere. All your hardware...

you probably want to install the compiz configuration manager. It will let you change all the settings exactly the way you want and view and edit the keybindings as well

Either grab it from...

What is probably most likely to work:

1) get a network connection somehow - either an ethernet cable, or borrow a usb wifi card from someone (a card that works with ubuntu right out of the box),...

I've never had any problems after a year or two on several computers. Benchmarks show it to be faster and it has some new journal features which should make it more reliable, so i'd go ahead and use...

I'm not sure why it might have disappeared and not restarted on re-boot, but you can try starting it manually.
I believe the command is "nm-applet"

First start it up in a terminal and watch for...

I find this happens to me sometimes when I open the update window, forget about it, and then try to install some things.

In terms of application settings, they are almost entirely stored in the hidden files and folders (those files and folders who's name begins with a '.', use Ctrl-H in the file browser to see them),...

Do you know exactly what command you did that messed up your permissions? If you really set *everything* wrong, the easiest fix might realistically be a re-install

I would try booting with the alternate installer image (do it off your thumb drive first to save disks). The "alternate" is an all-text installer (although it installs the regular desktop system),...

Be sure to back up your windows data!

I think the installer is pretty straight-forward and if you pay attention to what it says, there's very little chance you'd wipe out important data. That...

A couple things:
Since you're brand new to ubuntu, and don't even have a working installation yet, I'd first install the latest version, 10.4, it's not technically out yet, but it will be...

As to 9.10:

You could try installing with the "alternate" cd, which doesn't use a GUI, it tends to be a little more reliable. I know of a couple machines where the alternate installer worked fine...

It might be nautilus, there is a process killer somewhere, I always just use the terminal, you can alt-f2 'gnome-terminal' (or just run the command in the alt-f2 window, this is assuming you can't...

What are you trying to do? there are lots of easy was to burn things to disc or create images, I know brasero can do both. I'm pretty sure the normal archive viewer can open ISOs (and mounting is...

what happens if you boot off a livecd, does it recognize the array? I suspect you might need to do a little extra setup after you re-instal to get it all working.

Regardless, I would imagine...

well just make sure you don't upgrade the kernel package, and any other packages that get installed will be all good. No package will ever get installed without it's dependencies, so if you never...

You'll just have to play around with it, it depends a lot on your region, at first I would leave up and down speeds set to unlimited (typically 0=unlimited, I think that is the case with deluge).
