I'm completely clueless when it comes to hex editting. I'd like to know if it's possible to hex edit a few Windows programs in order to remove the advertisements from them. I dual boot Windows for gaming and run some open source software in it as well..

It is needed because of my portable audio player does not order entries and just leaves it as in FAT directory.
Current way of handling this is only moving files around and re-creating directories and placing files there in correct order (keeping in mind where are "holes" in directory list that will be filled by new file in placed to that directory).
What is the more proper way of doing it? (Apart from re-creating all directories each time or using hex editor on disk).
Basically, I would like to have a separate /home partition on my hard disk that will be shared by two different Ubuntu releases. In other words, I would like Maverick and Lucid to be on their own separate partitions, but to share the same /home. I already have Lucid installed (no separate /home). I know how to use GParted with the Live CD in order to edit partitions, but the main question I have is how do I migrate my /home folder to its own partition without ruining data? I've skimmed through some GParted tutorials but they don't exactly detail what I want.
Once that is done, I need to know if it is possible for Lucid and Maverick to share the same /home partition, and how would I set that up?
I have Ubuntu 9.10 64 Bit, and I also have Windows 7, and I want to make Win7 boot first and without having to manually choose it every time I restart, for my non-linux using family. I have tried the guides where it says you have to edit the "menu.lfg(or whatever it is)" and I don't have that file. I have looked, it's not there, the closest I found was "grub.cfg" and I can't make any sense out of it. I'm not unfamiliar with computers, I'm just relatively new to Ubuntu, and want to make the best out of it I can, I love it. I've tried going into GRUB, and and editing the Win7 Loader, but it doesn't work.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'd like you to know that I'm completely new to ubuntu. Just install it a couple of days ago. I have a bit problem with startup here, everytime I change anything in System > Preferences > Startup Applications it just keep coming back to default. I unchecked Penmount Utility, and it's checked again after next boot. Same thing happen when I add Guake Terminal. When I reboot, it's not there anymore. So basically, it seems that I can't configure my startup programs.

I am new on linux.
I saw numerous posts here on different programs people like to edit video and some of them are able to create slide shows. What slide show software is best on ubuntu? I cant figure out how to use them. It seems like they are embedded in the video programs. I understand the video stuff, but I dont see the slideshow options other than fade in/out/etc.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI upgraded from XP to Windows 7 (I need this for legacy business) and decided to install Ubuntu permanently rather than using from CD. During an Ubuntu session I was prompted to upgrade, which I did, but when I boot up now, there seems to be 2 versions of Ubuntu which I can choose from the boot up menu, plus the usual mem test, safe mode etc, plus the option to boot Windows 7.
Firstly, is there in fact more than one Ubuntu image (and therefore precious disk space taken up), how do I find out, and if so what action should I take?If there is only one Ubuntu and one Windows 7 image, how do I edit (and where is the file) to change the boot order and the various boot selections?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI went to rearrange the icons on my top gnome-panel today, as some of the notification icons are displayed to the right of the power menu, and whenever I right click on any gnome panel, I get two options only 'Help' and 'About Panels' the menu options for edit, move, remove etc. are gone.
I don't really know where to start with this, as I don�t think I have tried to edit the panel since a clean install, so don't know when it was last OK.

Breezy 5.10 (not upgradeable yet ) Am trying to delete one printer and install another. With existing printer before deletion
Code:
~# cat /etc/cups/printers.conf
# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.1.23
# Written by cupsd on Sun Feb 14 18:28:27 2010
<DefaultPrinter Photosmart>
[Code].....
and whatever I try by installing another printer (HP Deskjet 5550) on what used to be direct usb:/dev/usb/lp0 it succeeds but will not print. I guess because the printer URI doesn't match the serial number or usb://CB770A doesn't actually exist.
BTW I have never used a printer type CB770A! Installing the printer on other usb ports, lp1, lp2, etc., also fails to print.
Note that this Deskjet5550 works fine in Windoze and from Ubuntu 10.04 so it isn't a printer specific problem.
I have spent quite some time trying to find where the printer URIs are defined even using strace (which calls localhost so I lose trace) without success.
how I can remove/edit these ghost printer URIs?
I'm a new Fedora user and I having difficulty with the product.I downloaded both the live cd and dvd of F13. I installed F13 from the live cd and after it completed I created my user name and then rebooted. Once I logged in I went to Administration -> add/remove program. I then clicked on package collections and ticked off the ones that I wanted. I then clicked on the APPLY button and I noticed that in the lower left corner of the screen (below the left panel and just above the Help button) it said Running and then nothing. If I attempt to close the screen it says that all selections will be lost. I also went back and set the filter to list "all installed" and the programs that I had selected were in the list.I then decided to try the dvd iso, so I blew everything away and installed F13 from there, but I encountered the same thing.So I'm at a loss what I'm doing incorrectly

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just installed Fedora 13 today, everything is working including the internet. However, when I try to get more programs it says that it cannot find the sources, and a cache reload will fix it. I wasn't sure at first what that ment, being a begginer, but I think it means going into system-refresh package lists. So I do that,ut it still wont give me the program list. I'm really confused, I come from using windows computers and I don't know what to do now, me be a little clearer, when I click on one of the catagores to find software, nothing comes up but the defalt packages that come with the system. I go into the system-Software menu, and there are no boxes cheked. I thought that this maybe to problem, so I try to cheak the top box labled without parentheses "Fedora 13 - 1386".
