To boot into Ubuntu 8.10, I have to boot with noapic. Is there an easy way to always boot with this command. And don't worry, I have fair bit of computer know how, just moving from windows to ubuntu.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy computer needs the boot option "noapic". Unfortunately the Ethernet doesn't work. It does work when I use the boot options "noapic acpi=off" but the printer that is connected via a parallel port does not work. Also I have to push the power button the system is shutting down with this option.

To make Ubuntu work on my computer I need to select the noapic option NOW How do I make certain that the noapic option is selected always when ubuntu starts after ubuntu has been installed?I would like to install Ubuntu 10.10 on my computer togheter with windows 7
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently enabled noapic on my laptop because it was experiencing strange input freezes on several distros that I tried.Ok, so it does not use the ioapics. My question is, what does this mean for the system? If it used apics before, what happens now? I am a freshly graduated computer science major, and I have worked with basics pics on projects before, but I am curious how this effects the running system.

Makes sense, I needed that to install and need that in grub.linux rescue noapic boots into the installer, not rescue.How do I boot into rescue mode with the noapic kernel argument?

I have no idea why and I don't really care why, all I want to do is edit grub.cfg so it will incorporate these parameters automatically at startup.
P.S. Why change from the old menu.list?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using NBE on 10.04RC, I've just seen Easy Peasy 1.6 on Distro Watch so ran the live CD out of curiosity. Apart from Gimp I cannot see any difference between Ubuntu 10.04 NBE and Easy Peasy, have I missed something? Menu etc looks the same.. don't look at menu on their website as that's the one based on 9.04 [URL]
This is part of the release note:"Features: new boot system and new boot artwork (uses Plymouth); sports full removal of the HAL package, making EasyPeasy faster to boot and faster to resume from suspend; brand-new interface; built-in integration with Twitter, identi.ca, Facebook and other social networks with the MeMenu in the panel; the likewise-open package, which provides Active Directory authentication and server support for Linux, has been updated to version 5.4; new default open-source driver for NVIDIA hardware; improved support for NVIDIA proprietary graphics drivers".
I've never quite understood why they won't like Firefox just update on it's own. Instead it appears all of the FF updates always have to come through the update manager. 3.6.4 has been out since Tuesday and while I can go to the FF website and grab the tar of the new version I'd rather you know just upgrade my existing version like I've already easily done in Windows.
Seriously if this was a security flaw update and we had to wait this long you'd think people would be up in arms. Luckly 3.6.4 is mainly just extra functionality.
Still am I just left at the mercy of whenever it appears in the update stream or is there an easy way to update what I already have installed verses having two versions of FF?
point me to a web based admin tool for the admin of samba shares that a beginer to ubuntu could use easily ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just threw away 2.6.27 from my ubuntu10.10 installation because I thought I installed 2.6.28 apparently, I was mistaken and I threw away my one and only installed kernel.Is there an easy way to install the kernel? I'm not a super genious with that low level stuff, so if it's too hard I'll probably be easier off just reinstalling 10.10.

I want to practice restoring the grub, before any emergency occurs
I plan to use the following thread: Grub/XP/Vista Bootloader - Ubuntu Forums
I would be grateful if someone could tell me an easy way to damage the grub. For example, re-installing XP always damages the grub, but I'm sure there are quicker ways to do the same thing

I am finally running Ubuntu and Windows (and also Puppy Linux).I just switch to Linux from windows by accident. I got a new computer with a wizard to install Vista -which I do not have, I tried to install XP and the computer would NOT budge. All the instructions I got from a friend who actually works with computers would not work.I installed Ubuntu 9.10 without any problem and the computer worked immediately. Needless to say, right away I discovered the simplicity versatility and comprehensiveness of Linux and Ubuntu is now my main OS.
However, I had so much invested in Windows that I wanted to explore the option of running a dual boot for the occasional trip to Windows. The forums provide a lot of help, unfortunately I am not familiar with commands and could not complete the instructions provided.I had installed Ubuntu in its own partition and Puppy Linux in a logical drive in an extended partition. Every time I installed Windows, Ubuntu would fail and vice-versa. Interestingly, Puppy Linux would work normally every time. Sorry about all this convoluted introduction, I'll get to the point.I figure that the installation of Windows disabled only one other OS. So I made two 5GB partitions and installed Ubuntu in each (Ubuntu2 and Ubuntu). Then I installed Windows and Hurra! I had Ubuntu, Windows and Puppy Linux working. Ubuntu2 would not appear, but I did not care. I deleted the partition and extended Ubuntu's partition to 10GB.
I am running Easy Peasy 9.04 on an EeePC 901. I am trying to run Wine in order to install a wireless client for my university- they blocked Linux from ALL wireless because they have no one to support Linux (I.E only a windows client, no iPod or iPhone support, as they used to have). I want Wine to get me on the network while being able to work using Easy Peasy.
1. Will Wine allow me to use the wireless network in this way? When I try to install Wine, using the WineHQ guide [URL]...I have tried to "trust the repository", install Wine with sudo apt-get update and all other instructions. I just keep getting:

I'm using the latest version of EasyBCD (as of now) to dual boot Ubuntu with Windows 7. I added an entry "Ubuntu 10.04" to the boot menu, selecting Grub as the type.However when I choose Ubuntu upon startup I get this.Upon hitting any key I get this.Wanted to mess around with Grub and mbr, but I'm afraid I'll screw my hard drives up

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!

I have an Epson Perfection V200 Photo scanner.It works as you would expect in XP.In Ubuntu, using the flatbed, not the transparency scan, real whites (white paper backgrounds) come out noticeably blue.This is annoying anyway & especially when printing afterwards.Note that even the scanner white background (left) is blue.The dark blue (right) is where the paper pulls away from the glass when it overlaps the scan area.Many of the other applications have several colour-correction tools, but I didn't find any simple way of using them to fix my problem.
Is this a common problem?Is there any way I can dial it out, once & for all?Or an easy way of using the controls in iscan or AcquireImages?

View 3 Replies View RelatedFirefox Stable PPA provides the latest Firefox stable builds for Ubuntu 9.10, 10.04 and 10.10. This repository that provides the latest Firefox 4.0 stable.
Add the PPA using these commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
sudo apt-get update
Then if you have Firefox installed, you will get an update for the latest Firefox 4, the package name isn't named "firefox-4.0" like it is now in the Mozilla Daily PPA but simply "firefox", so it is simply a case of updating. I have done this and it works perfectly.

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10. I would like to specify that the computer get's put to sleep, after being inactive for 4 hours. The choices on the drop down are 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours and never.Is there an easy way to modify or add additional choices to the list? This would allow me to easily switch between them, if necessary.If not, what would I need to modify behind the scenes, to set this value to 4 hours?
