My approach would be to boot into Xubuntu and run the command below.
sudo update-grub
This will update grub with the information from the Xubuntu install; it will still pick up the edubuntu...
You can't. The file system in Linux IS case sensitive.
No, the socket file is created by the mysql daemon when the mysql deamon is started. If it fails to start (or when you stop the service), the socket file is removed again.
The log can be found in...
indicates that the server is not started. So you will not be able to connect anyway. Check the mysql error logs to find pointers as to why the service does not start.
The command is startx, not start x ;) Question is why you need it on a server?

Without knowing the environment, you can NOT say that. This might well be a stand-alone setup.
We're still using RH6.x machines as well as networked DOS systems. But they're not connected to the...
Temporary mount is still true ;) But I overlooked the internal disks that are not mounted by default; my bad :(
It's not clear from your last post if this is solved or not. If it is, please mark...
Maybe the use of /media and the same UUID that is usually used by automounting confuses the system?
For my internal third HD (ext3 formatted, dedicated to photos), I use the following line in...
What was the command that you used?
I used this a while ago (for ext3)
mkfs.ext3 -c /dev/sdb1
The -c option specifies the check for bad blocks. On a 1TB disk, it took two to three hours.

Start a terminal in Ubuntu and post the output of

It will look similar to the below (command in red bold)

Your first command (dd) wiped the partition table of /dev/sdc. The last 64 bytes of the 512 bytes that you wiped is the partition table; see e.g. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-copy-mbr/

su will prompt your for the root password (if no username is specified); in ubuntu (and a number of other distros), the root account as such is disabled so you can't log in as root. You need to use...
I have a 1TB hard disk for photos. I've mounted it on /mnt/photos (using a line in /etc/fstab). And I've placed a shortcut on my desktop for it (or you can use SlugSlug's suggestion to mount it...
No, that's not necessary. Unless you have 100 lines of comments for each line of php code ;)
The best way to chance is by doing a clean install; there is no easy way to 'downgrade'.
If you want to get rid of Windows, don't use the wubi installer but do a normal install.

Either reading is not your strong point or explaining is not mine. There is NO need for a MySql root user to connect to the MySql server from outside the local host.
Restoring databases is the...
I'm not the specialist on the security subject. Regarding MySql however I would suggest that the MySql root user can only gain access via localhost and not via any other means (so throw away...
Stop de command with <ctrl>C . Those files are big so you have to analyze them manually; scrolling text on a screen does not help ;)

Assuming we're talking graphical login, I'm a bit confused. In 12.04 you select the username and only have to type the password. Am I missing something?
No answer to the question
So you like to live at the edge ;) No security patches and bug fixes, so somewhere along the line you need to let your beloved 10.10 go. And maybe you should let Ubuntu...
Time for a kick :)
You install what you need, not what others install and you don't need ;)
One thing I would unistall / disable is the Amazon search.
It's not so much that it's created on your Sony, but that you downloaded the X64 version.
Download the i386 desktop iso from e.g. http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/DVDs/ubuntu/12.04.1/. Direct...
Yep, it should be possible. I don't have the time to research it but I've done it long ago (with Ubuntu 6.06 or 8.04) where adjusting the monitor itself was not an option as Windows used slightly...
