Ubuntu :: Remove From Vista Laptop Difficulties
May 5, 2010My brother bought an Acer Laptop which was configured with Ubuntu Dual boot using Grub with Vista Home Premium. He asked me re remove Ubuntu which I thought I could do by simply using the recovery disk to restore the Laptop to the factory condition. This didn't work and I now find that Vista will not boot at all, although Ubunto does. How to remove Ubuntu and put this back to Vista only? I have never used Ubuntu before so in this field I am a complete novice.

Feb 1, 2010I recently bought a refurbished HP Compaq NC6000 which had a new installation of Win XP put on it but takes about 5 attempts to boot up as it just sat at the load screen and freezes. So I decided to install Ubuntu 9.10 as a Dual boot with the view to getting rid of XP once I had Ubuntu up and running, which I have now. So cant understand why XP wouldn't work lol. Now I would like to fully get rid of XP and just have Ubuntu as the only OS on the laptop. Currently as it is Dual Boot I have my 80gig Hard drive partitioned with both OS�s on it.
Could someone point me in the right direction of how to get rid of XP cleanly so I just have Ubuntu left on my machine. I don�t really want to re-install Ubuntu as I have spent the last week getting it set up, so would it be possible just to get rid of XP? Also would getting rid of XP mess up the Grub Boot loader menu?

Ubuntu :: Transferring Some Files From External USB Hard Drive Onto Laptop And Laptop Froze Up?
Mar 2, 2010I was transferring some files from my external USB hard drive onto my laptop (running 64bit Karmic), and my laptop froze up for whatever reason.Everything on the screen stopped and the Scroll Lock and Caps Lock LEDs began flashing.Not knowing anything else to do, I hard booted off with the power switch.At this point, I was concerned if anything on either hard rive would be damagedI booted my laptop back up, and all seemed well until I trued to open my Documents folder.For some reason, Ubuntu will no longer open any folders at allI can't click on ComputerDocuments, Music, etc. When I do, a tab opens in the taskbar that says Opening folder. It stays on screen for about 20 seconds, and then goes away and the folder never opens.The weird part is if I open gEdit and try to load a file, I can see and get to everything.

Ubuntu :: Battery Not Recognized On Laptop (and It Recognizes Laptop As A Desktop)
Apr 15, 2011I have installed Ubuntu (both 10.10 and 11.04 pre-release) on my laptop but my battery is not recognized and it is detected as a desktop system rather than a laptop. I have tried the cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state method but the directory doesn't exist. I have tried another guide to paste the battery info into this directory but it doesn't allow me to do that and says that the directory doesn't exist, even though I'm trying to make it. I tried it in root nautilus and even on an install of Lubuntu (with a root file manager) but it still failed to budge. I really don't know what to do as I have tried all the guides on the internet that I could find.

May 15, 2010When I change the "When laptop lid is closed" option in Gnome Power Manager to either "Blank Screen" or "Do Nothing" (by manually using gconf-editor), the screen itself doesn't turn off when the lid is closed. Obviously not a huge deal, as I could just change the "idle before sleep" on certain occasions, but I liked that setting it to "Do Nothing" previously would actually turn off the screen when the lid was closed.

Jun 4, 2011Since I plugged in and then unplugged in the firewire port a video camera, I have a note in the bottom-right corner of one of the desktops. It says 'libieee1284-3".
It's not a serious problem at all, I can live with it, but if there was a way to remove this yellow square from my pretty desktop I would like to hear about it .
I tried clicking and right clicking on it; it does nothing except I can access a tiny menu with - apparently - enlarge, refresh and configure buttons. Only the configure button (a spanner) does something, it opens a "configure" box which does not have a "remove" or "delete" option. Rebooting does not remove it.

Feb 4, 2011I'm dual booting ubuntu 10.10 with Windows 7 and I recently installed the kubuntu desktop and greatly prefer it over GNOME. So, my question is, is there any way I can remove the ubuntu desktop? Also, a completely unrelated question, when I start my computer, it goes to a screen where I choose which OS to boot up. The thing is, I originally installed 9.10, and upgraded it to 10.04 then 10.10. So, that screen has all three on there in the format code...
is there anyway I can get rid of the other 2?

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: 9.04 - Laptop Too Hot And Has To Shut Down
Jan 5, 2010Recently I built a new computer, making my old laptop redundant, so I thought I'd turn it into a portable studio computer with linux. I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 with the low latency kernal and the ubuntustudio audio packages. And while the system still has many other kinks I need to work out, my main issue is heat. Even when I'm running the official Ubuntu kernal rather than real-time one, I'll use the laptop for basic browsing and messaging.
Suddenly Ubuntu crashes with a warning saying that my laptop is too hot and has to shut down. The only way I've found around this is to run the laptop from cold with an external fan blow right onto the computer. I can still hear the fan working and airflow is totally unrestricted. If it helps, the laptop is 4 years old and is a Acer Ferrari 4000. I never had these issues running XP on it for the past 3 1/2 years and I'm relatively new to running a Linux system.
Ubuntu :: Getting A Light OS For Old Laptop?
Apr 12, 2010I have the question if anyone here has a suggestion for a Linux-based operating system I can use to run on an old laptop, connected to an external monitor with a keyboard and a mouse (so that it kinda looks like a pc, i'm saving money okay ). The specs for the laptop are:
Acer Aspire, 512 mib RAM, 16 mib Graphical Card, AMD Sempron processor, 30 GIG storage. I have Ubuntu 9.04 running on it, but I find it a bit too slow, it takes at least 20 seconds before google chrome (which is faster than firefox, and firefox takes at least 40 seconds to start up) will start up, as well as openoffice.I just need to do the following things on this laptop:
- browse the webs
- make text documents
- be able to view flash
- be able to play video's and mp3

Ubuntu Networking :: Cannot SSH To The Laptop
Jul 3, 2010I have a laptop at home (A) and a PC in my office (B). I can SSH from A to B but not from B to A. Both A and B run Ubuntu 9.10 and have openssh-server installed. My laptop at home (A) is behind a router and I read somewhere that this could be the reason why my connection times out when I try ssh my_username_on_my_laptop@the_WAN_ip_address_of_my_ router.
The error I get is "ssh: connection to host the_WAN_ip_address_of_my_router port 22: Connection timed out". Therefore, I logged into my router and enabled the service "SSH(TCP/UDP:22)", typed my DHCP gateway ip address (also the DNS proxy ip address) into the entry for the LAN server ip address and made sure that the remote ip address is the_WAN_ip_address_of_my_router.
I'm sure I don't know the meaning of what I just wrote. I just looked that stuff up after having logged into the ip address of my router. A first question I have is whether I was supposed to use my personal ip address that I have inside the network at home (figured it out by staring at the output of ifconfig) in place of the DHCP gateway ip address (also the DNS proxy ip address) when filling out the LAN server ip address.
Then, of course, I wonder what is still going wrong. Sitting at B, I'm able to ping the_WAN_ip_address_of_my_router but I cannot ssh into my laptop (A) that is behind the router. The router allows me to change about 1000 settings but I have no clue what to do with them.
The following seems important in this context too: As I already said, I can ssh from A to B but not the other way round. Now, assume I change settings in the router. Can I test the usefulness of these settings by ssh-ing into B (from A), from which I then try to ssh into A (from B). Does this circular ssh-ing make sense?
