Thanks, that worked.

I have an unbootable Windows installation on another partition with Thunderbird 2.x . I'd like to import the messages from there to my Ubuntu Thunderbird 2.x install, but the usual method for...

When I create a folder while viewing an NTFS drive with Nautilus/ntfs-3g as normal, when I boot into Vista the folder's properties are set as shared and are visible on the network.

I was not aware...

This worked. The problem must have been the Ubuntu and swap partitions as you said, because deleting them and reinstalling to the free space worked perfectly. Thanks very much, and also thanks to...

Is it enough to give you the output from the LiveCD? I'd like to install GRUB from the LiveCD too.


ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -lu

Same error, unfortunately.

That problem was because they have two harddrives. I have one. I have used their method and I don't have an hd1, so that isn't the problem.



I've just tried that and it gave the same error...

Anyone?

The main problem seems to be that, despite me having /boot/grub/stage1 on /dev/sda3 and being able to visit it in file browsers and everything, GRUB cannot find it when I use:

My disk is this:

/dev/sda1 - Vista
/dev/sda2 - Swap
/dev/sda3 - Ubuntu 8.10 in unknown condition, formerly Fedora 10

Basically, I installed 8.10 to the Fedora partition. The installer crashed...

I think the HD4870 would be better - it matches the GTX 280 in most cases but is a lot cheaper. If you're willing to go Crossfire, HD4850 CF would totally own the GTX 280 at a similar or lower price.

Metroid Prime.

But it was close between that, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy and the N64 Paper Mario.

To your first point, I'm glad to hear that, but if that is the case why didn't they enable that by default?

To your second, I was talking about graphics only. For almost all other hardware, open...

Intel - Their IGPs suck anyway; you can't play most 3D games with them. If we got 110% of Windows performance they'd still suck.

ATI/Nvidia - I've addressed this. bridgman, an AMD employee...

It's possible I haven't understood the purpose or implementation of Plymouth, but I can see one flaw in its approach:

- Plymouth requires kernel modesetting of graphics drivers in order to be...

Tells me to dpkg --configure -a like anything else. What should it have done?

This doesn't solve the specific problem of flashplugin-nonfree, but have you tried gnash as an alternative?

Ubuntu 8.10 32-bit Final

While installing a set of packages in Intrepid, it got stuck on flashplugin-nonfree (i.e. it was downloading, but at a rate which would take hours to complete). I ended...

Looks like KDE4. Actually it looks worse than KDE4. Compiz already outdoes its special effects.

A recent BBC* ad concerning watching TV online (iPlayer) had a generic cartoon of a computer monitor - unfortunately, it wasn't that generic as intended because it had a "Start" button.

*The BBC...

I said open-source, not free software. BSD is still much better than closed-source. I think in this case BSD is more appropriate than GPL, because Google wants their code to be freely used in all...

No need. Change your user agent string to identify as Windows. The easiest way to do that is this Firefox add-on:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59

I really like it - it's the first browser since Firefox to make me want to set it as default. I've yet to find a site that doesn't work, and the only 'flaw' is it doesn't take plugins so I can't use...

You're absolutely right, although it is interesting that a non-native speaker would be the first to notice it...

1. If you're new and have the sort of PC you describe, then Ubuntu. The others require a little more experience.

2. Both come with enough for a good desktop, but the DVD has more stuff on it while...
