I've reinsalled ubuntu 10.04 no less than 5 times, each time taking hours to get all my configuration right, basically I like to mess to the point of screwing it up. Anyway just wondering if there was a way or program that remembers all of your preferences, files, games, apps, EVERYTHING! so you only have to load the file and it will do everything for you. Would save lot of time!
View 5 RepliesSo I was messing around trying to uninstall Nibbles and reinstall since I have an issue starting that game and something happened and removed the submenu under Games called "Logic", which had another whole list of games.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just got installed ubuntu karmic koala 9.10 on my laptop and fiddle too much with the system configuration files. Now I notice that most of my permissions are not working in my login. How do I restore my Ubuntu setting, which are as good as freshly installed OS and also Not disturb any of my currently installed application on the system ??Note: I repeat "I really dont want to disturb my of my currently installed applications on my ubuntu and yet want to restore my system to freshly installed OS settings. All the applications that I have installed is a whopping 3 days of googling and hardwork in getting them working "Some of the freaky things happening in my system:
1. I am not able to see Battery notification and Network notification y workaround: execute "sudo /usr/bin/gnome-power-management" and "sudo /usr/bin/nm-applet". I am not able to lock my screen3. I am not able to access my windows drive. Which otherwise when worked normally used to prompt me to enter my password, post authentication I was able to access my drive
I had a successful dual boot with win 7 and ubuntu 10.04. I just moved computers from a dell XPS with a P4 to a Xeon. I switched the hard drives between the machines. As I expected GRUB somehow imploded on the idea and now only displays a cruel "No such disk" message. Anyways, I was hoping to tap into someones vast knowledge of grub and re-configure it. It would make my day. I am also using a LiveCD so any commands I would use must be able to work on a LiveCD

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been having some problems recently with Ubuntu and my Printer. I find that when using ubuntu, ink drains much faster, and constant refills are required. I know the printer works fine, I use it on windows when ubuntu Fails. Today I was trying to print a colour document out, this was with default config, standard print quality etc., this was the result. On the left you can see the document before printing, and on the right the printed document. (Click to open image in new window)

I have a laptop that I use in three environments with different monitor setups.
1) At work, I have a 1280x1024 second monitor.
2) At home, I have a 1920x1080 second monitor.
3) In meetings and other places I have no second monitor.
Whenever I switch between these setups, which is at least several times each day, I have to manually change the monitor configuration. I use the nvidia-settings tools.
Granted, it only takes a few seconds. Is there a way to make the system smart enough to automatically detect when a monitor is added or removed, know *which* monitor is attached, and reconfigure the resolution and monitor layouts the way I want them?

I dont know much about linux, some basic console commands nuthing much, but I was setting up slackware for my server. The hardware was a bit old, so after making a new user and logging in, I tried my best to go into the theme settings, and change the current theme. Immedietly after hitting apply, It went back to console, and now startx tries to start xserver but crashes it. Is there a way I can reset the config? Possibly with the install cd?

a) reset user configuration for xdvi to defaults, or
b) copy root configuration over to user.

I just started using Ubuntu over the last several months and almost have it setup the way I need and want. I understand that a new version comes out every 6months or so and plan on upgrading when it comes out. I would like to be able to reformat and install the latest version, but retain all of my preferences, programs, device drivers, etc. so that it's all ready for the new version of Ubuntu. Up to date, I have spent so much time changing setting, finding drivers that fit and installing them that I don't want to start over with this.
How can I do this? I have made a seperate partition for /home. Will this help or is this folder only for to save my personal files?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm a newbie to ubuntu and I only used ubuntu less than a month, and I really like it. I would like very much to upgrade my ubuntu jaunty to ubuntu karmic but I have several concerns. If I choose to upgrade via update manager: 1. Will I lose my compilers and configurations? For example, some of my programs in current ubuntu are using gcc 4.3 and g++-4.3. I know that Karmic uses higher version of gcc and g++ and I have installed these programs in higher version of gcc and g++ and I got some problems. I would very much like to stay with my current compilers and configurations. I mean, do have to install all these previous version of compilers when I upgrade to Karmic? 2. What about my data in my home folder? Will it be erased? 3. What about my data in programs such as firefox? Will it too be erased? 4. What will happen to all third party software if I upgraded to Karmic?
