The current state of my hard drive is about half partitioned for my Ubuntu home folder, and half for my Mac OS X installation. I did this with Gparted years ago.

Since I didn't need so much space...

I would like to find these as well. I mean, the speed and sensitivity is much, much better than what I originally got with Lucid, but it's still a bit quick.

Also I've read some comments and...

For me, it's the incomplete hardware support for Macbooks. And I would personally rather have Apple switch to the ext filesystem, but if Ubuntu went the other way (for HFS) then that would be fine...

I'm sure that I'm not the only person who would love to use an OS that looked, sounded, and felt like the heads-up display from Modern Warfare 2, or inside the Iron Man suit from the film. Even...

Pity, because my macbook is running Karmic just fine. It's my older Satellite that had these inexplicable problems.

Update >> I tried to fix the upgrade by mounting the filesystem on a live cd and running


chroot /mnt
apt-get update

but all I got was something like this:

I've had a similar problem since I updated my Toshiba Satellite, except that it goes from grub to a white ubuntu logo in the middle of my screen and hangs there.

Obviously it's not a graphics...

I followed those instructions, the grub is fixed, and I can boot into Ubuntu. Thank you so much for your help.

Tom - normally I would have reinstalled, but since everything was still intact I...

Yes, OS X is working (not recovered; out of necessity I did a clean reinstall), but I would really like to get back my Ubuntu installation without wiping the original.

I'm sorry, I don't know...

REFIt is back, showing both an Apple and Linux installation, but when I tried to boot into Ubuntu it didn't recognize any bootable disk. All I got was some white text on a black background telling me...

A few days ago I was having some issues with my Macbook Pro (5,1), in that I wasn't able to reach the OS X login screen. At that time my Ubuntu partition was working fine, rEFIt was fine, and the...

I just installed Ubuntu on my Mac, but I forgot to install the grub via the "Advanced" button when I was finished setting it up. Is it necessary if I already installed rEFIt? And if so, is there a...

I'm sorry, I should've been more specific. I can see my ipod in the collection pane, and I can play songs straight from it, but I can't figure out how to add songs to it. Here's what I've got so far:...

Leetbumble, how are you "seeing" your ipod? And how are you adding files to it?

I cannot even figure out how to add songs from my local collection to my ipod in Amarok 2. I have the "Media Devices" applet in one of the four, uh, whatever they're called, but all it does is add or...

I'm having a problem now with mounting my external USB drive. The only way I've been able to see it at all is by a live cd I had. Here's the output of dmesg | tail:


[fedora@localhost ~]$ dmesg |...

That didn't change anything, taurus.

Taurus, still not showing up, even though lsusb does print a line about the Maxtor drive:


Bus 001 Device 010: ID 0d49:7000 Maxtor OneTouch

Yeah, I thought about this, but windows didn't exactly mount the drive. Maybe it's because windows doesn't "do" ext3, or maybe not, but there was no way to safely remove. However, unplugging and...

Yes, two partitions is correct.
This is the output from fdisk -l:


Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 =...

It repeats this over and over:


then prints this:

[97028.460098] usb 1-3: USB disconnect, address 2
[97028.510422] scsi 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Result: hostbyte=DID_NO_CONNECT...

I've used a Maxtor OneTouch for a while now, successfully under Intrepid, formatted as ext3, but now suddenly Ubuntu won't mount it.

I believe that it has something to do with me booting into...

Thank you, overdrank. This fixed it. My first mistake was configuring it there and "testing" first, which never worked out.

I just did a fresh install of Hardy on my Toshiba Satellite after using Gutsy successfully for several months. But now my screen space is limited to a small box in the center of the screen and my...

Thank you, that worked brilliantly. I actually had reformatted that partition recently, but didn't think that GParted could have messed anything up.
