I have tried so many ways to recover my .Private data it's not even funny. Very frustrating. It shouldn't be this difficult, yet it is. I went ahead and re-installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my root (and...

I'm not familiar with the CHROOT method. What exactly is that?

I did get the login screen, and I tried logging in under different options (gnome, failsafe, kde) but all of them generated the...

No command prompt. It just hung on a blank desktop and that was it.

I'm not sure when this occurred, but it happened either when I was trying to install the new gnome-shell, or after installing kbuntu. In any event, when I try to boot 10.04 now, I get the following...

I was reviewing Fedora today and Fedora 15 uses Gnome3. I watched quite a few Youtube videos and it looks promising. I'll give it a shot this weekend.

Well, I decided to try Natty/Unity last night, and I hate to say that after 15 minutes of use, I was ready to chuck it out the window (and yes, 15 minutes IS enough time to know whether or not the...

I want to play around with Gnome3 to see what it can do (so I can compare it to Unity when I upgrade to 11.04) Why wouldn't Gnome3 run properly on 10.04?

I did multiple searches and tried a few...

Hello, I'm trying to install gnome3 on Lucid Lynx / 10.04 and have tried several methods, but none work. I've tried the following:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
gksu apt-get...

I have a PDF document that is a series of scanned pages of text. Since they are, in effect, images of text, is there any program out there that can capture the text, then convert it to "true" text? ...

I had been using arecord from time to time to record a radio station, but now when I use it, it's not working. It is definitely capturing data, as I see the file size increment. However, when I try...

Can you open a terminal window and enter the command below (and post the output):

ifconfig

Thanks to all who replied to my posting. I think I may have to go the watermark route. The GIMP and Zenity look promising.

Thanks again!

I'm actually looking for something that can be embedded in the image, but not visible to the eye (so that if someone were to use a photo I took, I could prove I was the original owner). Is there...

Is there a utility similar to Adobe's "digital watermark" that I can use to copy protect my images? Something that would allow "batch processing" would be preferable.

Thanks,

Andy

I'm not at my personal computer to look, but those menu options don't look like what I normally see (I'll verify tonight). Maybe try downloading a burning a different version of Ubuntu (LiveCD) and...

That's a good question Carlos. I'm not sure myself, but if you ping www.ubuntu.com, their IP is 91.189.94.156. I'd guess that the server where the repositories are at "might" be on this same subnet,...

You can check this for yourself, but I've read where the kernel itself uses up close to 1Gb. That seems like a lot, but that could be where you're losing a gig of RAM.

Thanks,

Andy

Not understanding what you mean when you say "give me the command to change directory to a specific download?". Can you explain what you mean/what you're trying to do?

You didn't indicate what...

bodhi, this is my home desktop only. It's not providing any kind of server function. Just looking to prevent any type of intrusion or malicious activity.

The main things I do with it are surf the...

I set up iptables based on the main HowTo. I'm running Ubuntu on my desktop. I have a wireless router that allows two other computers to attached to it. I'd like feedback as to whether or not this...

Leppie, I did remember to do that, but thanks for pointing it out for others. That's one step that could have someone scratching their head if they forget to do it.

Andy

Paqman, running those two commands helped some as well, but the biggest chunk were those "scraps" that were left from aborted scans (I aborted of couple of images I was scanning, and they were just...

Leppie, that's good to know. I assumed you could somehow go back and get the new partition to automount. Looking at my fstab file, it's using the UUID, so I used the command sudo blkid /dev/sda12 to...

Leppie, I guess I didn't explain this too well. I expected Linux to detect the new partition (as it did when I first defined the original partitions when I initially installed Ubuntu). When I tried...

OK, getting closer. I followed ankspo71's advice and was able to expand the extended partition. I now see /dev/sda12 and it's formatted as ext4. The problem now is it won't automount after booting. ...
