I had this same router and it is buggy. I would set it to forward a part to a static IP but it would never save the settings. My solution was to get the ISP to give me a different better router. In...

Is there a reason to keep the old kernels but not have boot potential? I can imagine only academic reasons.

Also, good idea to run aptitude or apt-get with -s option (simulation, no action) to...

Aren't we purging too many headers with this?

The head part of the script (or one liner) doesn't make sense to me because the listed output linux-image comes after the linux-headers section.

:mad: This is exactly why I hate GRUB2. This is 10x the hack required for GRUB1 to do the same thing. I don't understand why it has to be this complicated. And I fail to see how a bunch of config...

Just to follow up on this (and because I don't really want to sign up to cnet forums but I do use this site)...

My solution was the same as in...

I'm running Lucid and trying to get a Patriot Wireless 11n USB going. It shows up as realtek 8191. Anyway none of the makefile worked for me and in fact it froze up my computer.

I stumbled upon...

Jeepers yeah my Gparted is 5.1-ish which is ~2010 - that is the Lucid Repo version. I would have thought it would be more current. Sourceforge says latest stable is 12.1!

So I found a PPA:...

Well, I couldn't doing it without wrecking the data. Good thing it was backed up.

Here is what I did:
I tried to use gdisk to create a new GPT partition. That worked but meant the old data was...

I finally found some time to backup the data on this disk (1TB takes time) and am now playing with it. I just noticed that the first 446 bytes of my 2TB drive (single ext4 partition) and the 3TB...

Thanks Fred.

The output of testdisk on the other system (the ubuntu32 that can't mount it) is slightly different:


Disk /dev/sdb - 3000 GB / 2794 GiB - CHS 364801 255 63, sector size=512
......

OK, testdisk says this:

rusl@feinberg:~$ testdisk /list

Please wait......

Thank you! I forgot about testdisk. I will play with that some and report back in a couple days. Cheers.

Thanks for responding oldfred,

I have in the past made too much complication with many partitions and LVM and RAID5 disasters. I learned the hard way about making things more complicated than I...

Hi,

Summary: I have a 3TB external backup disc with data on it that one of my computers can see and the other cannot. The drive was formatted by palimpsest unusually because it is so big. I think...

I thought LTS was 5 years. I know that upgrading is the eventual route but this seems like a straightforward bug I should be able to fix before having to do that. Just because the latest security...

Hi,

I just upgraded (included kernel updates) using the normal update manager on my wife's Dell 1420 Inspiron Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS with security, proposed and backports. After the upgrade reboot the...

Hi, I made this script some time ago and have found it quite useful. I hope this is useful to somebody. It has been useful and reliable for me. If you have any problems with it post them and we'll...

This worked for me. I edited the .local/share/applications/mimeapps.list file. In my case there was a whole bunch of problematic entries listed before nautilus. Songbird, when I...

Thanks so much for posting that solution! I had the same problem and it worked for me. Someone should update that howto document.

The only difference I had is it would allow me to fstab mount...

This is a way better program IMO than the default one in the Repos simply named "Alarm Clock"

Wow, for all my whining...

I went over to getdeb after writing and came across Conduit 0.3.14 and voila... sorta works! Well, actually it is pretty messy but maybe if I fiddle with it - it...

Hi, just stumbled upon this. I'm trying to use dd to restore a partition from a backed up image. Anyone know how to mount an image to RAID? (not sure if possible)

Anyway, I found this on a gentoo...

Yep, it seems that running as root did the trick:

From console:


$ sudo -s -H
# gparted

That's it!:guitar:

this is the exact same problem I am having in hardy64, but it's not the live cd!

no solutions? Maybe I'll try it from root rather than gksudo?:confused:
