I have my /home on a different partition.
The mistake I made was that I only left 10 gigs for the root partition and so I had to resort to making a /temp partition on a different drive, the same...
Restoring systemwide configuration.
Hello,
My motherboard recently gave away and now I will be replacing it with a different motherboard, different chipset and generation. I was running ubuntu 10.04 up until this point and had it set...
Mounting an encrypted partition/folder.
Hello, I encrypted my /home folder upon installing Mint 12, which is based on ubuntu 11.04, as far as I know. I remember the passphrase, but I don't know how to mount it correctly. I've connected the...
How exactly do I get the kernel source for the current 10.04 kernel ?
When I try to install the 280 driver, it complains about the kernel headers/source not being present.
Hello.
I have a problem with my 8800gt running on 10.04 ubuntu with 270.41.19 drivers. I have connected a Philips HDTV with a dvi to hdmi adapter using an hdmi cable.
Whilst booting, I am not...
Been there and done that. None of it helps. And I failed applying the magickal three patches.
Hello forum.
I think I have messed up my ubuntu install pretty bad. I tried to install the latest alsa, I compiled it from source, then I couldn't boot with my custom kernel, so I used ubuntu's...
While it has such a feature, it doesn't mean that it's usable.
The problem was the 256.44 drivers. I installed 256.35 (non-beta) drivers, and they work like a charm.
I hate vlc, it's impossible to create playlists on it, the image quality is worse than on others and on a 1,6 ghz sempron 720p videos stuttered, but with mplayer the playback was smooth.
I generally...
Hello, I am using nvidia's 256.44 drivers with 8600 gt, xserver 1.7.6 (that's what I know from nvidia-settings, if there's a better way to get to know what version of x am I running, please do tell),...
FYI, if you are trying to compile 2.6.32 with the bfs patch, your wi-fi won't work, compiling 2.6.34 with bfs patch works.
I apologize if I am not the first one to mention this, but the kernel compiles heck of a lot faster if you use make -j 2 (or 4 or whatever number of cores/cpu's you've got/are willing to use). Isn't...
Compiling a custom 64 bit kernel with BFS.
Hello forum.
Since I have too much time on my hands, I would like to try and optimize my kernel a bit. Since I am doing this on a fresh install, I don't really care if the os gets bricked in the...
Hello forum!
Lately I've been driven mad by flash videos. Sometimes they make the xorg just stop, some times I get randomly logged out of my session, sometimes the browsers just seg-fault. I have...
I've always preferred sunny weather instead of clouds.
I must apologize for my grammar, I am a bit tired now and I was tired when I was writing the first post. But anyway, in gentoo/arch, it would be easier to use non-distro packages, wouldn't it ? Or at...
Installing a different flavor without losing anything.
Hello forum!
Recently I've been having moronic problems with 9.10, more precisely, with metacity/gnome-bar, usbmuxd, a bit of nvidia driver specific problems and general apt problems, like broken...
Doesn't connect automatically, doesn't let me do it manually.
Hello forum, I am using ubuntu 9.10 x86, using gnome/ubuntu built-in wi-fi software. I have a problem with connecting to a specified, hidden wi-fi access point.
The problem is that, on boot-up, the...
Hello forum, I want to ask you, is there a really good rpg game that runs on linux ? I've been searching for it for hours, and still haven't found anything interesting.
I don't care if it's only...

Is this in the wrong section of ubuntuforums ?
iPhone syncing with 3.0
I am using ubuntu 9.10 32 bit on Athlon 64 X2 5000+ @ 3,0ghz, Asus m2n-sli n560, 1gb of ddr2 ram and a 8600gt.

Oh well. I will canibalize a seperate fan controller from another PC, since it didn't fix the problem in that PC. In fact, I took the same fan that's causing problems here from that pc. The thing is...
