Thanks. A Teensy is not a storage device. At least not in my understanding. I dont think "mounting" is a relevant word here. I could be wrong.... and unfortunately it is not an option to manually...

I have a Teensy (Arduino analog). When I plug in the usb cable, it pops up in /dev, as /dev/ttyACM0. The Teensy has a reset button. If I press it, it disappears from /dev, and does not come back.

I found the problem in my case. In the BIOS of my Asus eee 900, you can choose the boot order. I had chosen 1: Removable devices, 2: Harddisk. But it still did not boot.

Then I realized another...

1) Is there a way to check if the USB drive actually has an mbr, instead of just assuming?

2) How do I tell the device name of my USB drive? When plugging it in, three new devices appear in /dev:...

Great. Thanks for the advice.

Btw. Why did they not just put these extra capabilities on the "standard" ISO instead of having to offer two versions?

I would also believe that you could enter a shell from the Ubuntu installation cd but I just can not find it.

I ended up doing this with vmlinuz on SystemRescueCD, which is basically a "tool"...

I am trying to install Ubuntu on a laptop, but have some problems. I would like to run lshw and save output to help me understand what could be the problem. But I can not install Ubuntu, and I can...

Ok, I found it.

libaio.so.1 seems to be a file needed by most database systems.

One way of installing the file is using APT:


sudo apt-get install libaio1

I do also have this problem, and would like an answer, if anybody has one.

Thank you very much for your help. I learned a lot, and now I know what to buy :)

I bugged up! Sorry.

I have had two Acer TravelMates. One 620 and now a C300. I accidentally, by habit or smth. wrote 620 in the previous post by me. I then clicked edit and changed it to C300....

This was an attempt for me to learn how to decipher the information that I get from lshw, and use that to know which hd's would work. However, since you are not able to tell, then I am probably not...

Great.

So now just one last question. How do I see if my disk controller supports e.g. ATA133. Because if not, then I might choose an ATA100 over an ATA133, if it is cheaper.

vojox: The problem with looking at the *-disk is that there may not be a harddisk in the computer. Also, I do not think that you can tell from the current harddisk type, which range of other harddisk...

How do I know which harddisks are compatible with a given computer?

So far in my chaotic IT life, it has been trial and error, but now I would really like to know.

I guess it should be...

Hi

Im running Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty), with Firefox 3.0.16.

All embedded videos that I find on the internet (e.g. youtube, metacafe, etc.) lags. Some lag just enough for me to notice it, and some...

Ok, now I get it. Thanks.

Miegel, thanks for your swift response. However, you have answered to a different question, than I intended to ask.

When commenting out this line, I still get the same error.

My question is...

Note to others: A restart is needed after purging before the tablet is actually disabled.

Thanks for the help :)

If I do 'netstat' without any parameters I get (after waiting 5 seconds, I think this is for the host name resolution) something like:



foo@foo-laptop:~$ netstat | head -n15
Active Internet...

So I guess this is the command line equivalent:

sudo aptitude purge xserver-org-input-wacom

If I change my mind, can I undo this simply by installing the same package again?

I have followed the instructions from the first post of this thread, and when running conky I got this error:

Conky: statfs '/media/sda1': No such file or directory

Now, I understand why I get...

Hi

I have a laptop (Acer C300) with a disfunctioning wacom tablet screen: sometimes (depending on which power supply i am using, where in the room my laptop is, how charged the battery is, etc....
