View 7 RepliesI did a system update earlier in the day, but I have a hard time thinking this is connected to it:
I shut down my computer and when I went to start it up, I got a black screen and a bunch of letters and numbers followed by:

I tried to add my wife , and when I put in a password for her, this error comes up."Please set a valid user name consisting of a lower case letter followed by lower case letters and numbers." I did all that and I still can't set a password for her.

I downloaded wubi to install it on my old desktop which runs windows xp pro. The installation went through and it asked for some updates. After the updates, it rebooted but got stuck to the msg in the topic sentence. I don't have no live cd's for ubuntu and tried to read some earlier threads but they don't make any sense to me as I have no previous knowledge of linux. how to deal with this in a simpler language?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a program that prints out lines like:
And I want to be able to pipe it to sort on that third column, by letter first, then number. But I keep coming getting files sorted like:
(field separations all start at same place, so columns are not jagged like above.)
I have read the sort man pages, and have tried -n for the numbers, and -k for the position to start sorting, among other things. I also tried inputting a second position to start sorting, which sort should supposedly refer to if the two entries are identical at the first place being compared, but it seems to just ignore the second one. I just can't get it to sort the numbers properly...
For now I am manually opening the file in emacs and changing them around, needless to say, very time consuming.
I am trying to strip the numbers from the 5th columns and just get letters - in perl - i tried using subsrt, chop. and a regex -
what i want to get is:
i tired appending a regex perl -nle 'print /(w{1,20})d{1-20} but it did not work.
In M$ Word, if you press Alt+X, the letter behind the cursor will become a Unicode hexadecimal string. Where is that functionality in OpenOffice.org Writer?

Recently I faced a problem in typing in English in OpenSuse 11.3.When I try to type in English it shows me Greek letter and worse than that I think it is really Greek (not only in font) because when I enter my passwords or try to type a command in terminal I get error,I tested with UK and USA and all other English languages and I still have this problem. I even do reset in my keyboard layout setting and in KDE setting but it didn't help.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just compiled my first own kernel (I'm using Arch Linux), following the tutorial on the german site. Now I tried to boot it, I ended up failing with this message: Code: Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/sda1 ... Root device '/dev/sda1' doesn't exist, Attempting to create it. ERROR: Unable to determine major/minor number of root device '/dev/sda1' Here is the important part of my menu.lst:
[Code]....
I simply copy&pasted the Arch-entry, i.e. I also had the disk by uuid there. The failure message was the same, just the root device name was the different name Also, at first I did not have the initrd line in my menu.lst (as written in my tutorial that I may not need it). In this case I had this error message:
[Code]....
I am getting the same errors everytime I boot the server up:
Error: no such device {SOME-UUID}
Error: no suck disk
After that the system boots normally, but Im afraid ignoring this error can make my system crash in the future. I figured it was a grub error and I tried the update-grub2 command, it does detect all installed kernels no problem, but after I reboot I get the same error message.
I just installed say with
Code:
sudo apt-get install epos
and everything went fine, until I tried to use it.
When i do
Code:
say hello
it gives me

So I've tried some hours ago to install the new kernel 2.6.38 and when I did the reboot, it prompted this error: "Error 11: Unrecognize device strong
Press any key to continue..." I know this is such a general question but how to install the new kernel with Fedora 14? I think I did compiled and configured it ok and did something that wasn't recognized by grub or perhaps when I ran the command to make the new initrd.
I decided to go ahead and try out Ubuntu for the first time (never used a Linux OS before) ...it hasn't gone well to say the least. I downloaded the wubi installer and installed the netbook version of Ubuntu (10.04). It was installed on my Samsung NC10, where Windows XP installed on a small partition and program files were kept on the other larger partition. Ubuntu was installed onto the larger partition. After booting into Ubuntu there were some updates which came up, so I went ahead and and let it update... after that it needed to restart -- and from there things have never been the same I now get a "Error: no such device <enter some random letters and numbers here>" error.
I tried googling the solution but haven't managed to get anything to work. I put Ubuntu onto a USB and so I can get into that "live" Ubuntu; I've tried all sorts of strange and meaningless (to me, anyway) commands in Terminal... nothing has worked. I even went into the drive and deleted Ubuntu thinking that perhaps that would stop it trying to load Ubuntu but that didn't work either -- probably not a good move, but I'm desperate. Right now, I'd be quite happy to just fix Windows and forget about Ubuntu. I really need to get this sorted within the next 3 hours before Uni.
after a failed update attempt from 10.04 to 10.10 I tried to just do a fresh install of 10.10.
This is the error message I am getting:
error: no such device 3f83145b-1925-4793-b0c5-2779446c6b1b
I have tried reinstalling grub with no luck. I have 4 hdd in this machine and I have had various ubuntu installs on them over the years so that may be causing issues. I also ran something that was supposed to delete the mbr and I ran it for each hdd. Currently I am booted into a 10.10 live cd.
I've reinstalled grub2 in my kubuntu. Iarchive/index.php/t-1215062.html have kubuntu and windows xp. Now, when I choose the option "Windows_xp" it says me:

I am running a Windows 7/Karmic Koala Dualie. I was running Windows 7 first, Shrank Windows, partitioned the drive using the 40 free unallocated gigs of the 300 gig hard drive, and installed a fresh install of Karmic Koala to that. This has been working just fine (minus a few graphic driver issues) for the last week or so. Then wanting all my content to be available to both system and my network easily I decided to shrink the Windows 7 side, and use the 90 now free gigs to create a FAT32 Partition (using Partition Wizard after I had defragged the disk) The process runs fine, I boot back into Ubuntu where I have made my Windows 7 drive NTFS partition mount automatically, and I pull my videos and music to the new partition. At this point everything is going great till I fill the partition, and I decide to boot back into Windows to decide if I need to shrink windows to make the new partition any bigger. Well this time I go to GRUB hit windows and I get: Error: No Such Device: 01caab4e3c9fb9e0

I have two hard discs (160GB SATA and 80GB PATA).I have just installed Windows XP Professional and then reinstalled grub2 from a live CD. Both OS are on 80GB PATA drive.The Grub menu at boot time has "Windows XP Professional" entry in it. The problem is thatwhen i select that entry, i get an error saying:Quote:Grub:Error:No such device - "a string of letters and numbers"Press any key to continue...When i press any key, it goes back to the grub menu. Kubuntu and Ubuntu work fine.When i go to bios and change my hard disc boot order, grub is bypassed and Windows boots and works good. I dont know much technical things but i think maybe its the problem with Windows entry in grub. (something to do with lines map(hd0,hd1) and map(hd1,hd0) (But i'm nt sure. I just said wat i thought it might be)
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a machine which was running Windows 7 64bit, the installation was working fine. I decided to install Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit on a separate hard drive. Now, Ubuntu works great, but I try to boot Windows through GRUB (2, BTW) I get the following error:

I have been using my desktop as a dual boot machine for several months now. The primary hard drive with windows on it died, and since we have been using ubunto 9.10 exclusively, I just removed the dead drive, changed the jumpers on the secondary drive to primary and did a clean install on the drive which presumably formats the disk before installing. When I try to boot from the hard drive i get the following message:
