where the 100mb windows boot flag is ?|well yes , don't do sda1 , just sda , so it installs to MBR . that 100mb should be windows boot partition .

Now grub won't see windows anymore , if you replaced it with grub . grub can go to mbr to , leaving windows loader intact . maybe , but fixable . is it even in grub menu ? you need to restore the windows loader first ! you can restore the boot loader with windows resucue mode . then install grub to mbr . switched from web to thunderbird again , it 's ok . calendar sync works too .

if that works , I won't need to hardlink .|why not just mount directly to the desired path instead of bind mounting . so symlink the folders ( like ~/Desktop or ~/Music ) to the appropriate folder in the desired partition . but dont hardlink . wrong ownership on that file , perhaps because of your weird mounting tricks . i would disagree with athetius on that . having /home on anything that does not support unix permissions is a bad idea and WILL break applications . its a bad idea . you may be able to get away with it , but its a bad idea . symbol for what . you can just type " cd " and it takes you to $HOME . and you can define aliases in . bashrc so that cmu takes you to ~/Music .

can somebody help me roll back my wireless bcm driver ?|what do you mean ?
what do you mean ?|after my upgrade to 12.04 I started getting problems with my wireless internet , I think reverting the driver to the version I had on 11.10 could fix the problem . the problem is that internet periodically disconnects and reconnects ; about every 10 seconds .

Why isn't your router / modem handling the PPP ?|I'm not sure what you mean . I'm trying to use PPPOE via wifi .
I'm not sure what you mean . I'm trying to use PPPOE via wifi .|PPP is a protocal for connecting to DSL ( it 's also used for other connections , but I'm assuming that 's what you're working with) . PPPoE is PPP over ethernet . Normally , rather than doing PPPoE , you have the modem ( which may or may not be the same piece of hardware containing the wifi router ) handle the DSL , and simply communicate to it using standard IP protocol .

Do you have a DSL modem separate from your wireless router , or do you connect your phone line directly to the wireless router ?|I am not sure what you mean ... but I don't use phone line . basically my modem emits wifi signals and I can connect to it , and then normally under Win7 I just use the DSL .

you might get it repaired just by writing " dpkg -- configure -a " on recovery shell , if that works , and then just restart the upgrade . one of the nasty things of the debian-style package management is that everything is half-configured for the longest time because it likes to unpack replacing archives first and then configure them later . That 's unfortunately very fragile and if it crashes before the configuring , the system is so broken it won't even boot . and that command finishes the half-ready configuring and often puts the system back into working state .|Would that be the recovery option at the boot menu from GRUB , or would I do that form a live CD ?

escott how much of a pain would it be if a drive fails ... do you need same type , same speed ? i keep two backups already of data of course .|well as a rule a new drive to be added to an existing raid has to be at least as large as the one it is replacing . well if you really talk about raid0 , if a drive fails we generally think all data on the array was lost and it 's time to rebuild . so you can opt to reduce disk partition sizes slightly when you make your new raid0 to match the slightly smaller capacity of either drive .

After a defrag run e4defrag gives score of 0 . ext4 is *worst* with slowly appending files it seems . e4defrag reports those files as examples of ones that are fragmented .

I have installed ubuntu , and it works fine except the fact that they lose the internet connection after a while . The cable still shows as up , but I can't resolve anything . nor I can connect to my own internal lan IP address . any clues on why that may be happening and how can I solve it ?|what network interface is virtualbox configured to emulate ? ex : Nat , bridge , etc ?
what network interface is virtualbox configured to emulate ? ex : Nat , bridge , etc ?|it 's a NAT .
it 's a NAT .|and when ubuntu loses its connection , does windows still have internet ?
and when ubuntu loses its connection , does windows still have internet ?|yes ,
yes ,|alright , before we get too far into this , you mentioned you are using virtualbox because you don't think ubuntu will connect to your network , why is that ?
alright , before we get too far into this , you mentioned you are using virtualbox because you don't think ubuntu will connect to your network , why is that ?|Well , it 's a bit trickier than that . Windows is set to recieve my email , automatically connect to the internal network , automatically connect to the microsoft communicator . I do not doubt these things are possible with linux , it 's just I can't be bothered to do them ( have to work , heh )

I just wanted to make sure you didn't have some kind of weird VPN type thing going on . ok , so can you run " ping google.ca " in a terminal in ubuntu and tell me if it gets a connection ?

wait , is it working now ?|yeah , I had to reboot to do what the other guy asked .
yeah , I had to reboot to do what the other guy asked .|a host-only will create a connection between windows and ubuntu but ubuntu will have NO internet connection . what you need is either NAT ( virtualbox will pretend to be a router ) or bridge ( ubuntu will appear to the router as a separate computer and be 100% visible to the entire network ) ok , give me the outputs of " route " and " ifconfig " i want to see what changed . also try " ping 10.0 . 2.2 " if you are intending to connect TO the ubuntu vm from any other computers , you should use bridged instead of NAT , otherwise don't worry about it and kee nat .

gonna try . doesn't work with SNAT either .|don't try things randomly , use tcpdump and observe . the reason why I suggest both SNAT and DNAT is that if you have a situation like X initiating connection with A which forwards it to B , X will think it 's talking with A , and therefore the tcp packet received by B must be sourced to A , not to X . it simply won't do that connection is sent from X to A and replied by B to X , which is what I suspect is happening right now .

hi friends . i just updated to 12.04 . i am surprised that it was pretty painless . was preparing for tons of breakage . so I have this issue ( which i think is by design and not an issue) . when i boot my ubuntu box and ssh in aplay -L shows only one device called default . once i log in through the display manager it shows all my devices . how can i get it to show all my devices just by having the pc boot . i use my crontab as an alarm clock and the computer is headless .|how many devices do you have ?

If you have three or four instances when the kernel panic hit you may be able to find a pattern of stuff that was going on just before . That may help narrow down the issue . You could of course do a blanket test on memory and harddisk to see if either of them fail . Both have been known to cause panics in the past . Well if there is no pattern then there is not one given kernel activity that causes it . Next stop is a few passes of memtest .

Hello all . I am have several problems getting ubuntu running properly on my laptop . I have an acer 9300 laptop that I just installed 12.04 on .

This laptops monitor is actually broken , so i have it hooked up to an external monitor which was working fine , but after I installed the driver for the video card , it does not display to the external monitor only to the primary one . which is broken . AND even when I fidget with the primary monitor you can see the desktop is not loading properly to do anything .|what video driver have you installed .

im trying to use VLC i have no idea how to set it up .|I gave a link . i gave a link , vlc makes it easy , its a few clicks ... not hard at all , you can even make a script to setup a stream if you learn the vlc switches etc , you can then drag and drop a file to the script and setup a stream with zero effort . if you'd done that instead of venting in here which achieves nothing , you could have actually made some progress . There are tonne of how to guides , or you could have simply had a flick through the menus in vlc and bumped into the settings . it may not be 100% the same , abstract what they say a little .

Hello . I'm trying out Unity , but there is something that really pisses me off about it . Whenever I maximize a window , the window is ALWAYS maximized to my second monitor . It doesn't matter which monitor the window originally resided on . I think it would be a lot better if the window would eand to the monitor it currently lies on . Any ideas on how to change this behavior ?|whats your vdeo card ? mine eands to whatever monitor its on . Using nvidia+twinview . you did reboot/restart the X server after enabling twinview ? set the other monitor as the primary monitor perhaps ? other then setting the primary monitor . i got no other ideas .

hey . I got ubuntu 12.04 and im trying to install it on my 250gb external hard drive but how big do i make the partitions .|one big one .
one big one .|don't i need different partitions for the swap , boot , root and home .
don't i need different partitions for the swap , boot , root and home .|nope thats a relic of the 1990's. ubuntu is ( in theory ) an upgradable OS so you wont have to care about separating /home and / either . you'll just end up wasting space in practice . i would even make swap a file on / partition rather than separate partition for more flexibility and marginal performance cost but if you use LVM that 's not really a problem eitehr afaik . the one thing you'll need to understand about ubuntu is the devs aren't brainiacs . the defaults aren't necessarily always the best option , either . one / , no swap . and as soon you enter the OS , go through the process of making a filesystem mounted swap . if you dont want to do that just use default recommeds for swap partition size and everything else for / because you won't be able to adjust swap size after you install or in the case of LVM at least not without the same risks and problems . if you put too little or too much swap and want to change it you either wont be able to or could be in for a headache . filesystem mounted swap you can easily change size and as often as you need . windows uses filesystem mounted swap . and it 's 2012 . well that 's ubuntu for you .

if the unity/gnome panels aren't seeing it , you need to start making a custom rg . conf , usually starting with X -configure ( as root , from the command line) .

Some show themselves as one huge combined display ( NVidia cards + NVidia 's closed source drivers do this IIRC) .

hi guys , I'm having some serious problems with postfix , last night my server was attacked and used to send over 15000 spam mails within 2 hours .. My configuration included 0.0 . 0.0 /0 in ' mynetworks ' ( I know that 's too bad ... ) . Now I've deleted that entry , but the problem is I need my users to be able to send mails from their homes , and most of them include dynamic ips , and if they IPs are not . listed in ' mynetworks ' they get a " Relay access denied " error .

Nobody is answering my question in the Windows chatroom , so I figured I'd ask here since my question is about a dual boot system . Okay , I was here a few hours ago , but here 's the quick version . I just got a Lenovo thinkpad that came with their version of Windows 7 . There a Windows partition , a recovery partition , and a system_drv partition ( whatever that means) . I want to first install the official windows7 ( instead of the Lenovo version) , and then shrink Windows ' partition to 100GB , and create an ext4 partition for Ubuntu , and an NTFS partition for storage (~300GB) . Would I have to get the recovery partition into a DVD ? Or is it okay to start installing the official version without creating a recovery DVD ? In ##windows nobody is answering ...|the recovery partition would restore the machine to the custom Dell version anyway , so you decide what you do there .. and getting no answer in the right place is no excuse for going off-topic elsewhere .

Hey guys , I've got a video card driver issue with 10.10 .|10.10 is no longer supported , it is EOL . please upgrade to a newer release . the version you are running no longer receives security updates , it is *STRONGLY* recommended that you don't use it . if you need gnome-2 , try downgrading to 10.04 which is an LTS release supported until April of 2013 .

Alright .|the newer versions of ubuntu don't use much more resources that 10.04 . if you don't like unity , there are also other DE 's you can try like XFCE or LMDE which are more " traditional " in their design . also , 12.04 is a special LTS that will be supported for *5* years , so no reinstalls required until 2017 you won't be able to install gnome2 in the newer release , even its developers have dropped it .

as a separate issue , iMovie is proprietary payware , so the part where you get it ( unless you already have it ) would probably not be free . if your BSD system is Mac OS X yes , but otherwise , no . yeah , unfortunately not -- if you have the source for a Mac OS X app that uses the Cocoa framework , and are skilled and willing to do a little work , you may be able to port it to gnustep which will run on Ubuntu , but there is no framework in Ubuntu or any BSD or Linux based OS ( besides Mac OS X itself ) that will run Mac OS X and iOS apps . well currently Unix is technically just a label that applies to OSes that get certified by the Open Group -- this can be FOSS or proprietary OSes . the oldest Unix-like OSes that are still used regularly for general purpose applications are FOSS , they are the *BSD operating systems .

anyone aware of a program I can use that splits a directory of files into multiple folders ?|Using what criteria ?
Using what criteria ?|size really , 1000 's of files , need to burn to dvd , so need to split by dvd size , so say 4GB ideally ?
size really , 1000 's of files , need to burn to dvd , so need to split by dvd size , so say 4GB ideally ?|4.7 GB for a DVD-5 , but you have take into account file overheads , so if you have 100,000 x 1KB files it'll cost more than 1 x 47000MB file . Just compress as many folders as you can and then dump to DVD where the compressed file size is < 4.7 -- OR -- use some backup software which does it for you .
