Two issues:
1 - sda6 contains your Ubuntu system, and it is mounted at "/"
To resize it, it need to be unmounted, which you can't do while the system is booted.
You can do that from the...
If all else fails, "avidemux" can either (assuming the formats are OK):
- take your audio and video (separate) files and make your output file.
- take your original file and convert it.

You might be able add "amixer" to a startup/login script:
Try:
$ amixer scontrols
$ amixer --help
-->
$ amixer sset Capture 100
I'm not sure about the "100" value.
Try this (.deb files)

(I wanted to go to 10.whatever, but there's no 64 bit version and the 32 bit wants a lot of libs).

Does windows boot and run properly?
You have four partitions; I'm guessing that (you should label them):
/dev/sda1 is the win7 boot partition
/dev/sda2 is your C: drive with win7 installed. If...
Maybe update to 2.8; it's in the repositories. It's a bit different, but better.
Your fstab line is completely WRONG - you don't put the mount command there, you're just passing parameters.
mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb2 /mnt/Windows - WRONG!
The line in /etc/fstab should be...
It's pretty easy.
Make a directory (e.g. /yourmountpoint) wherever you want it; make yourself the owner, and make it read/write-able as you desire.
Add a line like this to you /etc/fstab file: ...
1: Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst (grub = v.9) or /boot/grub/grub.cfg (grub2 = v1.something)
On the kernel line, remove "quiet" and "splash" parameters.

If you have Windows and Linux on separate physical disks, it's far better to select the OS to boot via BIOS, and to avoid having Windows depend on grub. Besides being more robust, it's also much...
For me it's the shockwave flash plugin: I disable it and everything's good. It messes up pages which apparently don't have flash, but almost everything works fine without it. It's easy to turn off &...

It'll probably be faster or slower.
Windows better than linux/ubuntu:
- Better hardware/driver support.
- Better apps; everything from file browsers and backups to DVD authoring... They're definitely NOT from microsoft! (Free,...
Solved:
purge wine (1.5), purge pulseaudio,
install wine 1.4, install pulseaudio.
foobar ~ 2.4% CPU, wineserver ~ 0.8 % CPU. Much more betterer.
I think I'd installed wine 1.5 for some...
Howdy and Happy Friday!
After an update (or two...) to 12.04, foobar2000 w/wine(server) are using a lot of CPU (by 'top' or 'conky'):
- foobar: about 50% CPU
- wineserver: about 40% CPU

Yes, Angelina Jolie really is a hacker, and a good one!
In fact, this comment was written by the software she surreptitiously installed.
Compton seems to work.
I had to install:
- libxcomposite-dev
- libxdamage-dev
- libxrender-dev
to make it.
Note that the website and the README file have outdated documentation; use

It sounds like to need to add a couple of other things before running.
Installing Vuze is actually easier with ubuntu than a windows install.
Type the stuff after the $:

Fonts were bad news under Unix, and they're still bad under Linux.
I've found that changing the font makes a big difference in kerning and overall quality/appearance. Although none seem to render...
Though you say "everythng is a lot slower", is everything slower when your browser isn't running?
