I have an older Pentium 4 machine. I'm trying to get 3-D by installing the NVIDIA driver. However, the 32 bit driver won't install because my machine thinks it is running x86_64. I was under the impression that a 32-bit pc could not run a 64 bit OS? code...
How do I fix this?
During the file system check of an ext3 partition at boot I get the following output:
The super-block could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is still valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate super-block:
I'm then forced to login in as root and given the following prompt:
I'm reluctant to do as advised by the output and run e2fsck -b because it is not an ext2 filesystem.
Although I can still enter runlevel 5, it doesn't seem to recognise mouse and keyboard input in KDE so my system is effectively redundant at the mo. For this reason any short term workarounds are welcome, but a fix is needed. This problem is part of a longer saga to do with recovering a Windows Vista installation which started failing to boot. I have used both Vista and SUSE tools to try and recover my bootloader to no avail, and this has been the result. If more detail about this is needed please ask and I can explain what I have done.
I know, it's really weird.Chromium version 8.0.552.215 in Ubuntu 10.10 is thinking that PDF files are dangerous.
Code:
This type of file may harm your computer. Download anyway? (Yes/No)I don't need this fixed immediately, as it is only a minor annoyance.
I know my sources of the PDF's so I know that they don't have any malware attached.
In Hardy Heron, after installing xine and the usual stuff, and setting xine as the default dvd player in /etc/gnome/defaults.list in the usual way, and also linking /dev/dvd to /dev/dvd2, when I pop in a commercial dvd for autoplay, or select xine from the context menu to play it, it starts to play fine, but also produces the "source can't be read" messagebox, which goes away after being OK-clicked 10 (exactly!!) times.Launching xine directly from the application menu does not produce this problem.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with an Acer Aspire One Netbook running 10.04 (although this problem occurred in Karmic as well). The problem is that if the laptop is unplugged from the AC adaptor, the power indicator doesn't pick up the change, although the screen dims (I think the BIOS dims the screen). This usually wouldn't be a problem, but when the laptop runs out of battery, the machine goes completely dead, rather than hibernating at critical like it should.
I've followed the instructions on the wiki page but it still doesn't work. Obviously I'm quite worried about data loss here, especially since it's a physical hard disk!
When I insert a USB thumb drive into a USB socket a "CD-ROM Disc" icon appears on the desktop. When I double-click on the icon I get a "CD/DVD Creator" window. Messages in "/var/log/messages" shows Vendor (Sandisk) and Model (Cruzer) for the USB thumb drive. Those are correct. But for Type it says CD-ROM. What's up with that?

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?
I have a CentOS 5 virtual machine (VMware Workstation 7) running under a Windows host, and need the workstation's NVidia graphic card (Quadro NVS 295) to work optimally for my data analysis tools.
When I try to install the Linux driver from NVidia's webpage, I get "You do not appear to have an NVIDIA GPU supported by the 190.53 NVIDIA Linux graphics driver installed in this system". I have found my workstation's graphic card in the list of supported graphic cards in the README.
I suspect this has to do with VMware's own graphics controller having taken over, because when I do "/sbin/lspci" I see: 00.0f.0 VGA compatible controller: VMware SVGA II Adapter
Does anyone out there know how I can let the NVidia driver get installed and take over (it looks like I need its newest version for my software to render properly)?

Code:
expect: does " Address or name of remote host [x.x.x.x]? " (spawn_id exp8) match glob pattern " Address or name of remote host [x.x.x.x]?

Even if I remove the I still have the same issue if I try without -exact. I don't understand. I tried removing the but still got the same.

I have two different laptops that I would like to make bootable flash drive installs for, but would then like to have at least /home on a common removable storage (either a big flash drive or USB or ethernet hard drive) to share between the two laptops (I'll only be using one laptop as a Linux box at a time). One laptop (Dell Latitude D410) is only 32 bit capable (Pentium M - I think there's a 64 bit Core 2 CPU available for the socket 479, but I don't know if the BIOS / mobo will support it). If I'm going back and forth between 32 and 64 bits, can I share /home? What else can I share - /usr or anything else?
View 1 Replies View Relatedrecently I have installed a brand new machine with 11.2. Machine boots so incredibly fast so I decided to upgraded another older machine from 11.1 to 11.2. Upgrade went fine but old machine boots significantly slower. On new I see message "doing fastboot" and few seconds later KDE starts loading. Amazing. On old I just experience regular boot, speed is comparable to old 11.1.What am I missing after upgrade? Same kernel, almost same set of services. Both machines are pretty regular PCs/x86_64, however old one have faster/better hardware (more cores, more GHz, more RAM, 2 disks in software raid-0).
