I've upgraded my machine's graphics card to a NVidia GTS450, unfortunately Ubuntu doesn't have any "restricted" drivers that work for this card, so I need to find an alternate way to get the driver...

I installed Wine on my machine just a few minutes ago and as part of the installation the following packages are also installed: ttf-liberation,
ttf-mscorefonts-installer, ttf-symbol-replacement,...

That's what I though at first, but only the first CDROM is listed in fstab, also if my understanding is correct, the automounting done by Gnome does not rely on fstab. So it doesn't seem like fstab...

Is it possible to change the location where Gnome automatically mounts the CDROM drive to? The reason I ask is because I have two drives and I would like to rearrange them. Currently Gnome mounts...

I have one linux machine (we'll call it the server) that shares out a few Samba shares. The folders and files on these shares are for the most part permissioned for read write access by only USER1...

I'm looking at using some themes for my Ubuntu, but I'm getting lost in all the types of themes available. For example, there are Gnome themes, Gtk themes, Emerald themes, Compiz themes, Beryl...

Thanks for the info, didn't know that until I actually got a chance to try Cairo Doc late last night. Very nice app. So now the only thing left is the system tray. Any ways to make that nice and...

I'm thinking of replacing my whole gnome menu with Cairo Dock (since it has the ability to add the whole menu to it). I would also like to spruce up the look of the task bar (the area that shows...

Just a quick question about using hdparam to set the timeout for the hard drive to spin down and go to sleep. Do I have to run the command after every reboot or do you just run it once and it's...

Tried another CD and that worked just fine ... issue fixed :)

Thanks,

I'm trying to boot up the installation CD for Ubuntu 8.04.1 and all I get is the Grub Command Line (or prompt). Any idea what might be going on? Btw, I'm using a USB CDROM drive.

Thanks,

I'm wondering if there's a way to reinitialize the video card driver (or display) other than restarting Windows X. Or at least I'm assuming that's what I'm looking for.

Here's my situation:

I...

Yup, that's what I'm trying to do. However, I'm not sure if your suggestion would work, cause according to the BackupPC documentation one cannot use symbolic links to split up the "data store". ...

Thanks for the answer, but I'm guessing I didn't explain things well enough. It's not that I'm trying to point to another location. I would like to point to two locations (at the same time). So...

For example, let's say I want to backup Directory1 and Directory2, however, I want to have the backup of Directory1 located on ServerDisk1 and the backup of Directory2 located on ServerDisk2. That's...

Just a quick follow up on my current decision process :)

So far I'm liking rsnapshot (for it's simplicity) and BackupPC (for it's Web GUI) the most from all the options presented. The two biggest...

Thanks for those links, I'm gonna start reading them today. One quick question for you though (since I've done some high level looks into LVM). If one of the hard drives that's part of a Logical...

Thank you for all the suggestions so far, I'm looking into them as I type this, however, it seems I will have to add another requirement to my list, something that I took for granted, but it seems...

I'm looking for suggestions for some professional (and hopefully not ridiculously expensive) backup software. Currently I'm running a Windows 2007 Server and am using Acronis True Image Echo Server...

Thanks everybody.

What's the best way to get rid of the multiple kernel entries in the boot menu? I know I can just edit the menu.conf file, but I'm assuming there's a reason why a new entry is created whenever a new...

Is it possible to set the time delay before my laptop goes into suspend to be shorter than my screen saver timer? For example, I have my screen saver set at 30 minutes. On AC power this is great,...

I found the solution ... or at least cause of the problem. If you disable the 3d acceleration of the virtual machine the error messages go away ... I guess the 3d stuff it's fully mature yet to work...

I would like to make sure that I installed my copy of VMWare Workstation 6.5 properly on Ubuntu 8.04. Basically all I did was download the "bundle" installer, which is a script that runs a visual...

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this already or not, but I was having a bunch of issues with either getting the MBR message or Operating System Not Found, etc. My problem was that my active or boot...
