What kind of graphics chip do you have?

lspci | grep VGA

I guess you solved your problem, nevertheless, these could have proved handy.


groups mediatomb

that should tell you what groups mediatomb belongs to.

The mediatomb user probably has no...

Under normal circumstances using a LAN cable should work out of the box. What does the Network Manager icon in the upper right look like? If you have a working connection is should be a picture of...

Well it depends how you look at it. You can't make up for slow i/o throughput with a fast processor. The processor will just end up doing nothing most of the time waiting for the disk. Most of the...

Every mounted partition must be mounted to an empty directory (well technically you can mount something on a non-empty directory, but I wouldn't recommend it!). If you managed to set things up how...

If you've turned off the computer there is NO way that sudoku is still running. It doesn't appear that that is the problem so much as the symptom.

I find it kind of strange you have no files for...

Wow how many disks? What RAID setup? It looks like you are using md - "multiple device" (rather than dm). I was going to mention that there these two choices of RAID implementation built into the...

I totally understand that you want to go for interoperability here, but I just thought that I would confirm that the Intel matrix RAID is not the best. A friend of mine actually did some benchmarking...

Try completely removing and then reinstalling "gnome-games" in synaptic package mahager.

Intrepid?

You should make a habit of backing up regardless of what operating system you are using. You have to EXPECT that your hardisk will fail tomorrow because one day it WILL. They do have a finite...

Looks like they've got Intel wireless chips which are supported in the kernel (i.e., out of the box with no effort on your part). The nvidia chip should also not be too much of a problem as there are...

All the packages have md5sums for their contents so if you got through the install stage, this is probably not the problem.

If you want to convert something from pdf you can use the convert command (this is a very powerful image processing tool)

On the command line you would use

convert file.pdf file.png

It might be an idea to file a bug report on this. The goal of Ubuntu is to eliminate these kinds of headaches. Things would probably have been a lot easier if the desktop just worked the first time...

Yeah, I'm using Jaunty. You might want to consider either moving to it or cherrypicking python packages from it if you want to play with 2.6. You can edit /usr/share/python/debian_defaults to change...

If you reinstall compiz, turn off "visual effects" in System->Prefrences->Appearance. That will prevent it from starting automatically until you can make sure things are working ok.

To test it out...

$ python
Python 2.6.1+ (r261:67515, Mar 28 2009, 16:27:16)
[GCC 4.3.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import MySQLdb...

It would have to be pretty stripped down to not have dd. It's part of the GNU coreutils.

Bingo. For whatever reason, compiz isn't cooperating with your video card. If you're interested in why, you might try


compiz --replace

In the terminal (though of course you would have to...

If you've got a linux live cd, you don't need any other special software unless maybe you want to randomise the disk, not just delete it. Even then it's questionable whether additional software or...

Do you have an Nvidia card? If not then you probably just borked your xorg.conf. If you have trouble restarting your xserver, you might want to reset your xorg.conf:


dpkg-reconfigure -phigh...

Sorry, just to clarify. You should be able to get to a terminal by hitting Alt-Ctrl-F1 any time after the login screen has appeared.


If that doesn't work, then try booting into runlevel 1. This...

You can get to a terminal with Alt-Ctrl-F1.

Once there there are a couple things you can do:

Search your Xorg logs for errors


grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log

grep EE /var/log/Xorg.20.log

That man page is out of date as of 2.6.26 (Intrepid has 2.6.27). You can now create a
read only bind mount

Alternatively you can use the bindfs package which is a user space alternative which...
