I solved it turning on KMS. Now performances are back to Jaunty level (maybe even better, but I can't tell).

Hi, in addition to the well know bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/444139), today I tested my 3d performances.

Back in Jaunty, I used to play Deus Ex in...

I have a radeon 9200, and since AGP is bugged in the open drivers, I had to disable it in order to make compiz work. BUT now the animations are slow, and I mean SLOW.
So, I though of using compiz...

OPS :D

Ah ah, so that was the problem... Thank you, I'm back in Ubuntu :D

Yes, your guess is correct..

Disk /dev/sda: 400.0 GB, 400088457216 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 48641 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start ...

I mounted it as /media/disk.

find /boot/grub/stage1 and /media/disk/boot/grub/stage1 both give error 15.
root (hd0,0) tells me "Error 21: selected disk does not exist"

This is the same old story. I installed WinXP after Ubuntu, and that idiot os overwrote the bootloader. Now I want grub back.

I searched and found several guides, but they all tell me to (in a...

- Yes, my lowest possible speed for cd is 4x. Tried but no luck.
- Yes, it supports cd-r
- As expected
- I have "Write to disk", but it only triggers brasero, that obviously fails...

Here is my situation, a bit more detailed:

I bought a bunch of TDK dvd-r colour

Desktop->old burner = fails with Ubuntu + brasero, k3b and Nero Linux.
Laptop->2yo burner = fails with Ubuntu +...

Lately I've had a lot of problems with burning. I bought 15 tdk dvd-r, and failed about 13 (!!!). I tried 3 different recorders, two OS and 4 different programs, but none of them could make it, so I...

I've always found Nautilus a very slow fm, but since it's really great, imho much better than faster ones like Pcmanfm or Thunar, I've been sticking to it.

I just realized that it shows, when you...

Sorry, I typed it wrong, I was asking how can I do that... A separated partition mounted as /home/username/data?

I'm glad I asked ^^

So, suppose I have several "data directories" inside my home, for example Anime, Movies, Music, Work, etc.. I can I share those among the users, while keeping homes separated?

I've been using Ubuntu for more than a year. Since my linux-skills/knowledges developed, and I'm going to but new computer, I would like to go out and explore the linux world (aka, trying various...

Thanks.. But if there are more definitive solutions, they're welcome :)

When I reboot, will the renicing still be effective or I must do it everytime?

That would be the most logical solution, I tried (I set it to -10) but the problem didn't disappear..

I have a quite old pc, so many common operations suck up my CPU for some seconds. During this time, RythmBox stops playing music, obviously because there is no CPU left for it. It can be quite...

I tried, but "resize/move" is gray on sda2...

EDIT: sorry, I had to swapoff a swap partition, now it works ;)
Looks like this is the cleanest way... I will surely put my home on the huge...

Can you see it now?

PS: What I'm trying to do in the end is to have a partition just for the OS, about 20gb, and the rest of the space a...

Here is my problem:

As you can see, I have a quite good amount of space unformatted, and I...

Wow, it solved!

Just for curiosity, I have had that problem for quite a long time (maybe some months) but I decided to solve it only today, since it didn't seem to give big problems... So, what...

My question is a bit different, but still on fsck: if I do


sudo fsck /

it tells me:
