How many visit the forum using cell phones?

Browsing the forum on my Blackberry Bold.

With both computers connected with a wire or with one wired and the other wireless?

Seriously, I wouldn't worry about it at all. Unfortunately, I'm a Comcast subscriber too and get these messages from time to time. Paranoia on their end as far as I'm concerned and it shows just how...

Hello all. I've mounted an NFS share from a Fedora box to a folder on an Ubuntu 10 box. Now I get errors trying to list the contents of the folder. Funny, I was able to mount it no problem.

Here's the relevant portion of my config with things working as they should.

First thing you should do is backup all that "stuff I really need to keep".

Sounds to me like grub didn't get installed to the MBR. Perhaps it's time to reinstall grub telling it to use /dev/sda.

Or GRUB didn't get installed properly. Maybe you need to re-install the boot loader?

Thank you for your reply. That is essentially what I did and it now works flawlessly.

Lesse. I'm playing around with configfile in /boot/grub/menu.lst on my desktop. This box boots F10, F11, Ubuntu, Debian and XP. Debian is the last installed Linux OS so Debain's grub is making the...

Thank you. I found it right after I posed the question. I'm guilty of not searching before asking, especially since it was so easy to find.

Hi quazar. Where does one get conkyForecast.py or is it a custom hand written file?

Thanks for your help and the links Forest Pixie. Much appreciated. Off to stir the pot here in the Ubuntu Forums? ;)

You can't stop. You're a prisoner now :D

You edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst. There is a line that reads default=x where x is a number representing a position in the boot menu. Here's an example from my Fedora system:

default=0...

Oh, I've been looking at ## DO NOT UNCOMMENT THEM, Just edit them to your needs since the first Ubuntu I installed. Never paid any attention to it :rolleyes: I suppose that there's a page somewhere...

Irishy, write down the error message and post it here. It will probably be very relevant to us being able to help you get this fixed.

I wasn't aware that there was any difference in the number of hash marks used. So any line with a single hash mark is actually read and acted upon by the system during kernel updates ?
That's...

I would have cleaned out all but the 2 newest kernels too but I'm not all to familiar with the Ubuntu way of doing things. As for all the notes, I guess they're useful for newbies but I like my menu...

No. I just cleaned all the junk out so it's easier reading. Being a Fedora fanboy (running Ubunru Intrepid as we speak) I don't see the need for all that "crap" in there anyhow. My opinion aside, I...

You should see Windows as the 6th entry in the boot menu. I've taken the liberty of removing all the garbage from the menu.lst file so that the content is easier to follow. Here's my version of your...

OK, now I understand. I didn't bother to follow the link in post #2.

Yes, I thought you knew what I was going to type. A luminous zuminous horoscope fish is indeed psychic, no ? :)

What just reinstalls grub?

Basically what I said to do. :rolleyes:
