10.04
I managed to delete the Volume Applet that appears by default on the task bar. I'm sure it used to be listed in 'Add to Panel' in other version of Ubuntu however I can't see it there in 10.04.
Can someone explain to me how I get it back?
i have noticed that if vista is not the active partition, hybernate does not work. it just goes black and then back to the user icon screen to log back in. another "slight" problem was that i was not able to apply a service pack. after restoring vistas dominance i was able to install the pack. is there any other work arounds for hybernate? even though you might not be interested in cleaning up after microsoft.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am considering going back to 32-bit linux due to this issue.[URL]... Why do I think that might be the answer, well nothing else seems to work and I want to use my computer even though 64-bit use is what I bought it for. Also a work colleague of mine got some hardware working simply by doing the same.
So the question is, is there a way to go to 32 bit without doing a install from a scratch? I think I am clutching at straws here, I shall have to bite the bullet and do an install from scratch.
everything was working fine in 8.04 lts ubuntu, but i decided to upgrade to 10.04. now, i can't send mail in evolution (it just sits
there in the outbox), and secondly, there is no sound in firefox when playing e.g. videos videos.
i have the cd for 8.04 lts. is it possible to go back to 8.04 and retain my data?
secondly, i live in scarborough, toronto, canada and would gladly pay for a linux/ubuntu expert to instruct me in linux. i can be reached at 416 438 0338.
my system is a pc, dual boot into windows xp or ubuntu.
I thought I'd try the moderete effects under appearance. Got a message to update drivers. I did that. Rebooted and the desk top partially comes up but I can't do anything. Things are REAL slow and most of the graphics never show. On the desk top the stuff in the upper right corner is missing. If I go to file system it won't show the folders. I tried to turn off the effects the appearance screen comes up but clicking on the tab does nothing. How to I fix this. Can I back up and get rid of these drivers.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI installed Ubuntu 9.10 inside windows to a USB hard drive. Later Windows had a fatal error and I had to reinstall it, and lost the MBR. I've tried several "fixes" that were supposed to work and none of them worked. I don't want to lose the Data that was on Ubuntu since I've already had to lose everything that was on Windows.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have just used Clonezilla to copy from a 60gb HD to a 40gb HD. Everything works fine but I now have two partitions (see screenshot) The sda3 was originally unallocated so I used Gparted on the LiveCD to try and expand the sda1 partition but couldn't do that. Then I formated the sda3 to ext4 and thought I could then add it to sda1 but as usual my thoughts were wrong. Basically I haven't a clue what I am doing with Gparted. how to get back to one partition.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI seem to have gotten a bit overzealous and gotten myself into a problem. I've managed to install Ubuntu 9.10 on a Compaq CQ50 Laptop so that it dual-boots with Windows Vista. Everything initially was working fine - Vista and Ubuntu worked side by side pretty well, and it all seemed hunky dory, until I shot myself in the foot. Basically, whenever the computer was booting I would first see the Windows Boot Manager, followed by the GRUB boot manager when Ubuntu was selected. Since both boot loaders had options to boot into the other OS, I figured that it wouldn't hurt to set Windows Boot Manager to 0 seconds display time, thus removing one small step in the booting process. Unfortunately, now when I choose to boot into Windows via GRUB, it briefly flashes up with the Windows Boot Manager and then kicks back to GRUB, and nothing I do seems to let me get back into Windows. I've tried booting from a Vista disk and using Bootrec /FixBoot, I've tried reinstalling GRUB and getting it to update its boot tables, I even tried installing LILO. So far, nothing seems to be working.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI had a working RAID-1 (software raid) under 9.10 and the update to 10.04 failed totally. Now I did a new installation of 9.10 and wanted to have my RAID-1 back ... but how can that be done ?
The first partition has the ID "83", the second one "fd". I was able to create a degraded RAID and was able to get a backup from the "83" disc - but whatever I do with the second disc: its busy and nothing can be done with that.
My question: how can I build the original RAID-1 from these two discs using mdadm ? Actually I've read the documentation, but the documentation also says, that both partitions should have the "fd" ID.
I have currently the LATEST version of Kubuntu 10.04 and I just DO NOT LIKE kde 4.. There are things I liked better in 3 than I did 4. I hate the desktop containers I hate when you turn them off and put your icons on the desktop they pop back to where they were before I just found it to have more JUNKWARE than I wanted. I just want simple KDE 3 back.
I had KUBUNTU 8.10 and thinking I was getting KDE 3 it gave me KDE 4.0.0 ( the one where the taskbar was black )
Is there a way to find to get I guess 8.04 to get KDE 3.5 back?
i was trying to explore the OS when i deleted the original panel. how can i get it back.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI start up my laptop, and it works great for about an hour but then it starts to make a loud scratching sound and I know that sound is my HD and after I have to shut it down (by holding the power button), it takes a few tries to get it to boot normally. So I'm pretty sure my HD is the problem, so my question is how can I back up my system (I'm running Ubuntu 10.4)? Just in case something really bad happens. I remember there was a thread sometime ago and a guy there said something about a program that would create a iso of the whole system, and it would back up everything even programs and stuff. So can anyone help me with this? (Btw the search feature is not working for me) Also if you wanna buy me a new HD you can do that too XD.

I think this could be possible, because my programs using the library still work
View 1 Replies View RelatedExcept for the obvious home folder, how can I save at least some of my settings, like the background picture, the icons, my customizations to the menu?
Also, If ubuntu on the USB is not working perfectly (software center crashes most of the time without any reason) it shouldn't impact the resulting install on my hard drive, right?
What do you back up usually except the Home folder?
And a last thing: What is, in ubuntu, the closest thing to syncing in Google Chrome? What else would you recommend to do before deleting everything and making a new ubuntu on your pc?
I back up using a small rsync script. I've tried other methods but just keep coming back to it.
I have enough space that I can back up the entire root file system, but for speed and economy there are certain folders I'm not backing up. I understand some are dynamically generated on boot, others are caches.
Anything else I should exclude? How about APT's cache? /var? Any other caches?
