I have run into an issue trying to install Ubuntu on my desktop. I am trying to install Ubuntu along side of Windows 7, but on a separate drive. When I chose the option to install on an entire drive, the installation worked. However, when I choose Ubuntu from GRUB, nothing displays. The same result happens for the recovery mode (Windows works fine).

Just before the computer boots into the grub menu, I noticed a message on the prompt saying that a file was not found. I had reinstalled Ubuntu 10.04 prior to this. Maybe the grub was not configured properly but I don't know how to fix or find the missing file. I also noticed that I don't have /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

This occurs during LiveCD too, I have taken a screenshot of the problem. GParted seems to be showing incorrect partitions while the one the right is correct.

This is an issue that is isolated to Firefox, and does not occur in Chrome, and really only occurs on Facebook. The images look as though they were taken under a blacklight. I don't know what the issue is, as I was running Firefox 4 under 10.04, and the issue did not occur then.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've just installed Fedora10 from the live cd.
My setup is as follows:
Hard disk 1 - Dedicated to XP(160Gb) - Not used at all during installation!
Hard disk 2 - Used entirely for Fedora (250Gb)
I used the "Delete all partitions and create default layout" option.
Hard disk 2 was the only drive ticked to be used for this installation.
Hard disk 2 was selected as the drive to boot from.
On the next menu I put the bootloader in the primary partition of Hard disk 2 (NOT THE MBR OPTION) Then selected the default OS to load as Windows XP.
But now, when I start the computer, it justs loads XP like a single OS system. I never see any hint of GRUB running or attempting to run.
I my trying to install Ubuntu onto a new 1 TByte Sata HDD on my Dell 8400. The computer has no other OS installed as the old HDD containing Windows XP has being removed. The new hdd has being fully formatted and is set up as a NTFS with a single partition of 1 TByte. I downloaded the latest version of UBuntu and burned it to a cd as a ISO file. When I boot my computer up from this cd I am asked to enter my language of choice and then I get the main menu screen. On this screen I choose option (2) - Install Ubuntu. After a few minutes during which time you can hear the cd being accessed the screen just displays this main menu and never changes. I have tried twice using this install option but after 45-50 minutes the screen still never changes. No progress information is given. If it is normal how long does the installation generally take?

The installer starts fine, shows up on the screen fine, but the graphic installation window is wrongly positioned on the screen. It's about 300px too far to the right and about 300px too low on the screen, so that my Next, Back, Cancel buttons etc are off the screen.

I have two hard drives in my compy. One is 500 gb and the other is ~40 gb. I tried to install ubuntu on the 40 gb one because the 500 gb one is starting to die. When I use a live cd to install and partition the harddrive.
It shows I have 3:
/dev/sdb] and /dev/mapper/nvidia_fhidaeja are physically the same drive but appear as two, independent but equal drives.I kinda just ignore it and move on. I install ubuntu and try to boot and I receive an error saying that grub can't be found. I install and repeat two more times and get the same message. I'm thinking the the "extra" drive has something to do with it, but I'm not sure. I've tried reformatting it and resetting bios but nothing seems to work.
I've just installed Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit using Unetbootin, and I've managed to get into command line Ubuntu fine. I installed gnome (I think gnome, the command was "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"), typed "startx", and my monitor instantly went to a screen saying "NO SUPPORT". I rebooted, and this time a black screen with a white, low-resolution Ubuntu logo appeared for a few seconds, before "NO SUPPORT" appeared again. My graphics card is an ATI Radeon X1950XT AGP, and my "monitor" is a TV taking HDMI input through an adapter cable from a DVI out, if either of those pieces of info is useful. I'm now back in command line Ubuntu having booted into recovery mode, and I'm using a text-only browser for the first time.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was running 9.10-64, upgraded from 9.04 on a 160GB separate boot drive with a 1TB drive for storage. I had mdadm software RAID on 3 500GB drives. I copied off the contents of the md0 RAID device, formatted from ext3 to ext4, then copied it all back. I operated for several weeks this way with enhanced performance and no issues.note: All drives are on MB SATA-II.I wiped out everything and reloaded the 160GB drive with 10.04-64. I removed dmraid and set up mdadm as before with no immediate problems.
The next day, when I pulled up the contents of the 1TB drive (mapped to /1000), it displayed the contents of the root instead. Curious, I attempted to tunnel down to the /1000 folder from within its own listing of /, and saw no files listed. I proceeded to delete the files in the /1000 folder, whereupon I found that my system became unstable. I must have somehow been deleting files from the root itself.I reloaded again. To check if the SATA connector to the 1TB drive may be somehow suddenly faulty, I reordered the connectors and set up the boot priority in the BIOS to match the new configuration. The next morning, I was once again able to see the contents of / when ls'ing /1000. I carefully checked the entry in fstab, the fdisk -l output, and made sure that the directory wasn't somehow showing as a link.
For the next attempt I decided to take ext4 and mdadm completely out of the equation, hoping it was a bug with some combination of the two under the new kernel or something else which could be corrected by replacing the software RAID with a physical controller at a later date. Instead of RAID, I simply formatted each of the 500's as ext3 and mapped them to /500-1 through /500-3 respectively. However, after a day of normal operation, I am now able to see the contents of / when I ls /500-3. The other 4 drives appear to continue operating normally.I have been unable to pull up a similar post prior to creating this one. Perhaps I don't know how to properly search for this issue. If anyone has seen something similar, please link me to the solution.
I get a lot of email from different yahoogroups, but am having a bit of trouble in one group.
Every so often I'll get a message that is written in rich text and sent from the group's web post feature, but only half of it is displayed. If I check the message source the entire message is there, and if I change Evolutions settings to plain instead of HTML then the entire message is there.
The weird thing is it only seems to be the messages from one particular poster that is being cut off.
It'd be nice if I could stick with HTML and Evolution.
My local server isn't displaying images or proper css for my web pages. The pages display just fine on the webserver, but locally no images show, most of the css declarations aren't there and some of the php includes won't show on the page either. It's as if it's 10% working. All the files are in the right place. I changed directory permissions and tried restarting apache but that didn't help.

I'm relatively new with Ubuntu- but I'm pretty experienced otherwise with computers. I just installed Ubuntu on my Intel machine and it seemed to be running a little slow so I checked the System Monitor and found that there were 2 CPU's being displayed (I only have 1) and that one or both were maxed out at 100%. What I have for hardware is one Intel Atom 1.6Ghz processor, with 2GB of ram. When I check what resources are running, none of them seem to be taking up that much memory (firefox being the most at 60mb).Any advice on what might be going on here? How is it displaying 2 CPU's when I only have one?

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy desktop is not displaying files that I put on the desktop days ago. I checked all four workspaces.All the files are still accessible from Nautilus > Desktop.When I drag a file icon (from Nautilus to the empty desktop) and release, the icon does not drop on the desktop, the icon quickly moves back to the folder where it came from.The top and bottom panels of the desktop still operate normally.I am running Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit with classic-Ubuntu desktop.I also noticed that Startup Applications is missing "chrome" that I added this morning.I am the only user on this system. The system is a duel boot Ubuntu - win7. The Ubuntu partition is formated ext4 and there is a separate NTFS-formated partition named "storage" for folders that are accessible from both Ubuntu and win7. That should not be an issue because the desktop folder is on the Ubuntu partition, /home/[user]/Desktop. I have not booted win7 in the last few days.The desktop first
appeared empty after I did two things:
1) installed CryptKeeper from Ubuntu Software Center
2) Enable Automatic Login
After I clicked Applications > System > CryptKeeper, the desktop did not respond to mouse clicks. I did not find any CryptKeeper instructions. I don't know how to use CryptKeeper.The login screen still asked for credentials after I rebooted.So I uninstalled CryptKeeper, disable Automatic Login, and rebooted. But the desktop is still not displaying the files.Could CryptKeeper have changed something in my profile?Does Ubuntu have a log file to see exactly what I did?What else can I try to restore my desktop and enable Automatic Login?
One of the minor changes to Ubuntu seems to be that apt wants to display changelogs using less, which requires user interaction before apt proceeds to install the update. This is a kind of an annoyance when you're using a script to propagate updates to a whole slew of machines. Is there a way to turn this off -- or even better, change apt's use of less to cat. (I don't mind the changelogs being displayed b/c I log everything my scripts do. I just want to avoid the need for user input for automation purposes.)
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhilst I like Ubuntu as an operating system and generally am fine with Firefox, could anyone explain why I sometimes get errors in trying to get through to various web pages. I don't get the same errors in IE8. As an example, my telephone billing provider; I can login on both IE8 and Firefox and get into all the screens in IE8 but not always in Firefox as happened to me 30 mins ago (I think the version installed is 3.5 on Ubuntu 9.10). There is a message at the bottom of the screen showing that Firefox is trying to connect to a sub page, but it just can't display. Is there anything that I can do to resolve this and is it an encryption issue? This isn't the first time I've had issues with Firefox. In Ubuntu 9.04 the screen used to sometimes go fuzzy when I used the firefox version there.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am in 8.04. Recently installed conky and wanted to have this conkyrc - [url] You may see how it should look.
Also I tried other conkyrc, but every time I got one annoying thing.
Conky is displaying some weird letters in front of every line of info.
Here is the screenshot of what's going on:
You can see big letters S P M at the beginning of every line. If I am adding more info to display, those letters continue to appear on every line.
Instead of these letters their should be icons as on screenshots in gnome look
Has anyone seen or heard of the following problem? I have a 1in black border surrounding my display. I've been running google searches all day without much luck. My current setup is as follows: Ubuntu 9.10 (64-bit), 24in asus lcd, Radeon 5770, amd phenom 2 x4, ddr3 4gb, gigabyte mb. I noticed the border while running the live cd. I figured it had something to do with the video drivers. Last night I installed ATI's linux driver 10.2. I'm getting my preferred resolution of 1920x1080 over dvi. But i'm not able to use my full 24in. It's like using a 20in lcd.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been seeing things like this in Firefox since installing:
Franais
Espaol
where the is a special/accented character. I've also been seeing the in places that seem likely to have some kind of quote mark, probably curved quotes. I can see straight single and double quotes. To correct this, I've tried changing the display font and the character encoding. I've also looked at the Mozilla Add-On site to see if I could find a plug-in to fix it, to no avail.
What should I try now? Currently I'm using Liberation Sans with UTF-8. I'm a native English speaker so I need a western encoding (I think), but I'd still like other characters to display properly.
I am running Lucid x64 on an Gigabyte Mobo with an Intel E6500 CPU.I think this script pulls the temperature from /proc/acpi/thermal_zone. However, that directory is empty.I can get the cpu temp by using lm-sensors or by running this:

I have an issue where chromium is not displaying facebook properly. Here's a screenshot:
I would switch to the stable release but the stable release of chrome has a bug whereby the search bar keeps reseting its default search engine (wiping out all the info leaving the search bar un-usable) when google chrome stable is re-started.
I'm trying to display Wi-Fi network info using Conky. I've got it to display the IP address and the upload/download speeds, but for some reason it won't display the network SSID or wireless signal strength. Here's the relevant portion of my conky configuration:
Wi-Fi:
Network: ${wireless_essid eth1}
Signal Strength: ${wireless_link_qual_perc eth1}%
IP address: ${addr eth1}
Download Speed: ${downspeedf eth1} Kb/sec
Upload Speed: ${upspeedf eth1} Kb/sec
It's not the most frustrating problem in the world, but I've been unable to figure out the solution myself after several hours of perusing previous similar problems with Conky configs.
When I try to load a php file my browser downloads the file instead of displaying the page. Here is my apache conf file.
#
# Based upon the NCSA server configuration files originally by Rob McCool.
# This is the main Apache server configuration file. It contains the configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See [URL] for detailed information about the directives.
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding what they do. They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure consult the online docs. You have been warned.
# The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections:
# 1. Directives that control the operation of the Apache server process as a whole (the 'global environment').
# 2. Directives that define the parameters of the 'main' or 'default' server, which responds to requests that aren't handled by a virtual host.
# These directives also provide default values for the settings of all virtual hosts.
# 3. Settings for virtual hosts, which allow Web requests to be sent to different IP addresses or hostnames and have them handled by the same Apache server process.
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do *not* begin with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "/var/log/apache2/foo.log" with ServerRoot set to "" will be interpreted by the
# server as "//var/log/apache2/foo.log".
