Thanks! I thought about going through the 'repair windows boot/reinstall grub' routine, but I was really hoping to avoid it. Anyone have any other options?

Hi,
I recently went thru a cycle of installing vista then ubuntu on an old laptop. Ubuntu is working fine but I can't get vista booting again. I've attached the output from the boot info script :...
They are not. This subforum was created, and stays in existence, due to demand. People want it, there is demonstrable inequality in representation, fair reason to believe there should be action to...

It's a tricky question, and it depends on what your reason for learning java is. If you just want to get a feel for the language, then I guess there hasn't been that much change since 1.3. If you...

A google search suggests that treo's work fine with jpilot : http://www.linux.com/comments.pl?sid=36205&op=&threshold=0&commentsort=0&mode=thread&tid=122&tid=13&pid=86942

I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean by "constructive input", and how some of the comments here don't fall under that category. Along with others, I find the fixed-width layout to be a waste...
python is interpreted. call your program with "python myprog.py"
I like the changes. Coffee is good. Change is good. Fun is good. Props to the effort that went into making the icons.

Britain faces a skills shortage in IT unless more girls can be encouraged to study the subject at school. No wonder the Government has decided to take action.

you could try using sun's jdk instead. do a search in the forums, there are plenty of threads that show how to install it. I'd recommend one of these two :

I'd say get rid of marillat. I don't know about freecontrib. The -staging repos are where packages get tested first, so if you're not looking to help test them, don't use these.
instead of diving in at the deep end and helping develop 'ubuntu', create/join a smaller project that interests you. there are hundreds of projects at sourceforge that'd be happy to get extensions,...
no, not always. just yesterday someone was asking to be treated like a blonde woman to illustrate how stupid he is with regards to linux. and this forum is meant to foster a better environment for...
So you're saying since it might not work out perfectly, why bother trying ? Why don't we try and see instead.
This will settle down eventually. Ubuntu is not the only linux community with a...
Because it's staring us in the face ? Because enough of us know about it ? I have enough friends who've suffered through this to make me a supporter of this forum. If enough people who are being...
that's great. some people also care about being able to express the things that they feel identify them online as well. you want to be anonymous, good for you, but should we not try and help those...
yes yes, let's just trivialize gender discrimination in techie communities by putting it on equal status as discrimination based on "hobby and favourite colour". as for the others (religion, caste...
not to be short with you, but your points (and others) have been discussed at some length before :

I think that Klik is fundamentally a better idea as well, but I've never used it, so it's a pretty theoretical view. I'm not sure what you mean by "broader adoption", but if you mean that it doesn't...
usually, there's a README and INSTALL file included with .tar.gz files. go over to where you extracted them and read these, as they'll give the most correct information. ask again if you have...
try anjuta for an IDE. you'll also need the build-essential package for the compiler.
whether it's a team marking things, or anybody, for a lot of problems someone will have to make the decision about whether something really is fixed or not. obviously, it would be best if the user...
