I've created the installer on another jump drive and installed it onto the 8 gig using the aspire. everything goes fine, it tell me to reboot so i do and all i get is a black screen with the curser.It responds to nothing and never moves.

It's working fine except the bootloader was installed to the jump drive as well, meaning I can't boot my computer without the jump drive. Is there any way to correct it so that the computer boot from the hard drive while keeping my install on the jump drive?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a new laptop that I can install ubuntu on without hassle using a cd. I wanted to put it on my older Toshiba laptop (2003) for my little cousin to use to get on the internet and play games. When I boot from the CD the ubuntu logo comes up runs. It ask me my language then goes to the screen where I can choose "Try Ubuntu without installing it" "Install Ubuntu Now" etc. Ive tried clicking both install and try both launch the ubuntu logo it runs for about 4 min and then hangs on a black screen. I know it isn't the cd because I can use it on any other computer and it works. This Toshiba cannot boot from a jump drive though so that choice is out.

The pc connects to my monitor through a dlink KVM switch so I can switch back and forth between computers.
When I reboot my monitor settings disapear and everything is real real large.
If i disconnect from the KVM and connect Ubuntu directly to the monitor and detect monitor it will allow me to adjust settings so everything looks normal. Until I reboot and I am back to the same huge icons again. If I try to go back and adjust monitor settings there are only 2 settings options because it does not see my monitor through the kvm switch again.
I have a china phone which has mp3 player and unfortunately it reads the file names in its memory card in sequential order according where the file is saved. The file system is NTFS. cod
**Note: DDD song was last because I saved AAA to EEE songs then later added DDD song
Then suddenly i deleted BBB song and replaced it with FFF song code...
This is kinda lame. but the OS of the phone has no capability sorting the file according to filename in its built in mp3 player.
my question is how can I sort the files sector by sector(is my term right?) so the lame mp3 player would read the files finally in alphabetically sorted order. I Will plug my phone on my PC

I'm currently developping a C program to drive a Telit GM862-GPS module using the serial port of an embedded board (SBC9261).The communication with the module is based on AT commands : I just send my command to the module, through the RS232 line, and the module answers immediately.Here's an example with a basic command returning the GPS's acquired position, sent with Minicom :
Code:

I've got 2 hard disk drives of 250GB, with this partitions :
All partitions are with format "linux raid software". I made 3 raid1 with them like that :
I want to clone them to news hdd of 500Gb, to have this partitions :
My problem, how can I resize partitions, before resize the array md2 with the command mdadm --grow /dev/md1 --size=max ?
After, how can I rebuild /dev/md2 without lost any datas ?
I'm using ubuntu-server 10.04 64bits.
As i was a bit scared to attempt to partition my HDD in order to install Ubuntu, i purchased a USB drive and installed it there. So now if i boot without the USB drive plugged in it boots straight into XP as before. If i boot with the USB drive plugged in it boots to Ubuntu. Great, i'm happy with that - it would be nice for GRUB (on the USB drive) to give me the option to boot to XP on the HDD but i might explore that one some time in the future.
The problem i have is this - i used to boot from a 10.04 Live cd version installed on a USB memory stick and when doing this i could 'see' the HDD and access files on it (mp3s mainly). I should explain that the HDD is actually HDDs - there are two of them in a RAID 0 set-up - two 160Gb drives that appear as a single 320Gb c: drive under Windows. Under 10.04 there was a '316Gb File System entry'
Now, when i boot from the USB drive there's no trace of the HDD in 'places'. If i go into system/administration/disks i can see the two HDDs but all i can do is click on one of them and i can mount what i assume is a 4Gb recovery partition. The rest of the disk appears to be unformatted??? Please can someone help get my HDD access back!
Please let me know what additional information i need to provide ( i know there's bound to be some). Please also accept my apologies for any dodgy terminology i have used.

Is it possible to setup ubuntu to automatically save into another drive?
I'm having difficulty repairing/reformatting a USB drive. I've yet to explore and get me on the right track. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. I have a generic USB drive, 4GB, currently formatted FAT. I can't save files to it, can't format it using Ubuntu's Disk Utility. Attempts to format using Disk Utility return the following error:
Error creating partition table: helper exited with exit code 1: Error calling fsync(2) on /dev/sdb: Input/output error Yesterday I got fed up and tried to just zero the thing out using a dd command... ran it in verbose, the right stuff returned to screen, still no dice. I can't get it to a point where I can format it either using Disk Utility or mkfs.
i recently bought an external 2 TB usb drive and connected it to a philips dvd player. all movies play just fine but I noticed that folder and file names are not displayed on the screen in alphabetical order but in the order they've been copied to the drive.now, i found the way to fix it by using this program: URl...the thing is it won't start in wine.so, is there any way to sort directory tables under ubuntu?

The HP came with Vista Home Premium pre-installed and the system was infected with the insidious Vista Antivirus 2010 virus.Well, after doing some registry cleaning I was able to get rid of that virus, but I suggested to the customers to check out Ubuntu, which they agreed to do.Here's my problem:
The HP has a recovery drive, which I formatted to make room for some of the pictures, documents and music they wanted to retain.I'm in the process of installing Ubuntu 9.10 and don't want to erase the recovery partition D:, which is labeled as /dev/sda2in the prepare disk space portion of the setup.I've moved to specify partition manually, but I'm uncertain as to how to configure this. When I installed Ubuntu on my own system, I just deleted Windows and used the entire disk space, so this is something new to me
I have a line in the fstab file which automatically mounts a network drive every time I start up Ubuntu. I browse to a text file on the network drive and open it using gEdit and make changes to it. Then, when I hit the save button, a bright red warning appears:
Could not save the file [path here] gedit cannot handle file: locations in write mode. check that you typed the location correctly and try again. This also happens if I do save as. Then, after this error appears, the file actually disappears (gets deleted) from the network drive and in order to save it, I have to select save as again and type in the original filename. The line in my fstab file is:
//files.example.com/username /media/Network-Drive cifs uid=myname,umask=000,credentials=[cred file here],domain=mydomain 0 0
I'm not sure if this has something to do with the file permissions or gEdit itself or using cifs to mount. When I use the "ls -l" command on the file, I get
-rwxr-xr-x 1 myname root 7402 2010-06-28 01:14 textfile.do
which should be fine since the user has all permissions.
we have a Win NT4 system used for an important application used at two places. At one place it has gone bad. I want to create an image from good system and restore it at the second location.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a 1.0 ghz G4 eMac running Tiger. Using Ubuntu 10.04's Live-CD I installed 10.04 on a 8-gig USB flash drive and it worked very well despite spending nearly five hours to download its files via DSL and a pokey USB 1.1 port. The flash drive's 10.04 installation worked just fine on my eMac and 900mhz G3 iBook except for Airport wireless non-connecting issues.(I like Ubuntu 10.04 because unlike Mint for PPC, you're not hassled or barred from accessing your Mac HD and its files.) THEN, to resolve my wireless issues, I decided to upgrade to 10.10 which took nearly 12 hours, and it seemed to've installed well until I tried booting the flash drive and it doesn't work.

I just finished making a clone image on my XP Pro HD and am now ready to install Ubuntu 10.04. Are there any scripts available that will install software that will add more functionality to my new Ubuntu installation? I installed 10.04 on a Dell Desktop circa 2003 with an 80GB HD and 512MB of RAM. Looking forward to using it!! Is this latest Ubuntu release better than XP Pro overall?
