I get this message when I connect my iphone
Failed to execute child process "/usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-afc" (No such file or directory)
Need assistance, please

Thank you all for the quick replies.

Hello:
How can I keep Ubuntu from doing the startup disk check? It does this every 28 boot ups or so.
Thanks.

The file you want to edit is /boot/grub/grub.cfg. Dont forget to do a sudo chown to change permission to yourself to edit file and then change back to make root the owner. As always, be careful when...

Went ahead and deleted the files and everything is ok so far. Thanks four quick replies.

Hello:
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and have so far updated to the latest kernel 2.6.32-26. I like to keep at least the last two so I also have 2.6.32-25. I have already deleted 2.6.32-21 and 2.6.32-24...

No question is a dumb question. No need to worry about a Windows virus affecting Linux.

From your output, it seems you might have installed sun java without removing open djk. I think you have to remove one of them.

You can also try the Synaptic Package Manager. Go to System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager and do a search for whatever application you are looking for.

I had the same problem and then I remembered IPV6.
Open Firefox and type about:config. Scroll down to network.dns.disable IPV6. If it says
FALSE, change it to TRUE. It worked for me.

Right click panel,click add to panel. scroll until you get to "notification area".

Go to the File entry in the top left hand corner and make sure that Work Offline does not have a check mark next to it.

I have been running Ubuntu for almost 3 years with an AMD Motherboard and an NVidia video card and have had no problems.

Go to System>Preferences>Main Menu. Click on the left panel where it says Office and see if your Open Office apps are still there.

Possible but hardly probable. I myself am not an expert with the terminal by any means but have used it sometimes. For example, to change the permissions of a file I want to edit. It is not as...

The Ubuntu firewall is UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall). It should come enabled already. To check open a terminal and type " sudo ufw status" without quotation marks. You are then prompted for your...

I installed Karmic in my "test" computer and I use Thunderbird also. When the computer was running Jaunty, everything worked fine. After installing Karmic I noticed that it took forever to connect to...

I am with you. I installed Karmic in my "test" computer and it is not good as Jaunty.

I also had a very slow Firefox when I upgraded my wife's computer. I disabled IPV6 in Firefox and that fixed the problem. This looks like a step backwards. This problem did not exist in 9.04.

You say you upgraded from 8.04 to 9.04. You have to go from 8.04 to 8.10 to 9.04 if I am not mistaken. Also, I think a clean install will be much better. Just my 2 cents worth. Good luck.

Stupid me, did not notice you said you were sending ok.

Stupid question but are you sure you are not working offline? Go to File and see under Forget Passwords. It should say Work Offline (that means you are online). Seems silly but it happened to me...

Check your bios to make sure you can boot from cd.

The new firefox ( 3.5) is code named Shiretoko. If you have it, check:
Applications>Internet. It would say Shiretoko Web Browser instead of Firefox.

Give Opera a try. Go to opera.com and download the newest version Opera 10. Click on the .deb file and it will install it. I sometimes have problems with Firefox in Ubuntu, but not in Windows.
