My master hard-disk has crashed. However both my operating systems were installed on other disks.But my computer is not able to find any OS because Grub must have been on the old master IDE hard-disk rather than the new SATA one on which Ubuntu 10.04 was installed.Now, I want to regenerate my Grub file so that my system an use the already installed Ubuntu 10.04.
View 2 RepliesI've been trying to find a way to watch videos from my main desktop computer on another computer I've plugged into an HDTV. I'm such a Linux newbie that I decided to give Mythbuntu a try. It was way to complicated for what I needed, and I'm sure that some more experienced people reading my first two sentences laughed to themselves at my naivety.
What I am trying to find is simple: browsing one computer's home folder from another computer, and playing the videos therein. If there's anything like Mythvideo that requires less than half of the skill requirements, I will telepathically send love to the person that informs me of it.

I decided to delete the other distro's home and swap partitions and install XP in place of it. I've been following these instructions: [URL] and [URL] I have gotten to the point where I am booting to the XP CD and want to install it, but I get the message, "Setup did not find any hard disks installed on your computer" when I should be getting to the screen that asks me to select a partition to install XP on. This is what my HDD looks like in GParted:
I want to install XP in the unallocated partition, but I have a feeling I screwed up somewhere along the way and probably don't fully understand the whole thing. Even if I try to format the unallocated partition to NTFS I can't make it a primary partition (I assume because it's within sda2). The very last thing I want to do is delete my Ubuntu partition and start from scratch, but if that's my last option let me know.
How do I find out if my computer is 64 bit or 32 bit? I already have ubuntu installed.

When I do an automatic on wordpress it asks for ftp credentials. I don't my ftp credentials. I was not aware that I had ftp username and password. I am not sure if that means I installed the ftp server without knowing. my root password does not work on this.

How can I find out the ftp username and password on my computer.

I am having problems with this computer program called fluent. I have a service request open with them and they need to know my computer's hostname. ANything I have tried tells me that my computers hostname and fqdn is localhost.localdomain. The people on the service request seem to not believe me. Is there anyway that the computer hostname is hidden? This is what I have tried:

I have a linux machine on my university network where I usually log in via ssh from home. I have know the ip, so this is what I use to log in, but it would convenient to know if my computer have a hostname on the local network (it's easier than remembering the ip).I set up a hostname when I installed linux on my pc, but it's not the name associated with that ip on the network. Is there a way to find out if there's a name associated with that ip?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have three computers in my network, but two will be mentioned. Computer A is a Linux Mint 9/Windows 7 dual-boot, and I have just installed Mandriva Free 2010.2, which I will call Computer B.
Now my main problem is that Computer B, while it can see and access Computer A's shares as well as the third computer, the aforementioned computers cannot access Computer B. The message was: "Unable to mount location/Failed to mount Windows share." Now, the SMB protocol was used because of the third computer and Computer A have Windows OSs installed in them.
What I originally wanted was that I can share Computer B's NTFS partition, namely Documents and Downloads, to the other computers. And I can't do that, because of the error message.
What I can do, however, is use Computer B to view shares from the other two computers (Computer A, as an example). By my experiences in Linux Mint, I understand that I'd have to mount my Windows partitions in order to share them. I don't even know if my NTFS drive in Computer B is mounted, though that is what was described.
So i've been trying to install linux on all my machines, but there is one troublesome machine, mydesktop.But my question is not how to install it, but rather how to remove it :PSo I installed fedora, unfortunately i still cant boot into it properly and it goes into the text based thing.But the real problem is that in the bootloader that fedora comes with, when i select "Other" it boots into my D: partition which is the recovery partition that my computer shipped with. In the recovery partition i cant do anything and specifically delete the fedora installation and the bootloader it came with. I need to boot into the normal C: partition where windows vista is installed.So i tried to repair the Windows vista bootsector but it said that the boot thingy was fine
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have installed Debian maybe 30 times over the years since about 2003, stable, testing and Sid on two different desktops and two different laptops. The only problem I have ever had is sometimes with a flaky daily build. It is one of my favorite distros.
BUT, I am totally frustrated is trying to install to a USB. I have followed the manual step by step about 6 times in the past two weeks. The result is always the same. The installation fails to find an installation iso image. Yes, I know the iso image and the hd-media vmlinuz and initrd.gz files are supposed to be the same version.
File: debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso from: [url]
Files: vmlinuz and initrd.gz from: [url]
The USB boots to a Language selection screen and proceeds through the Keyboard selection screen with no problems.
The next step which searches for an installation iso image fails.
Skipping that step and trying to load installer components from iso image also fails.
Searching the entire PC for an installation iso image also fails. (I even copied the netinst iso image to the HD root directory.)

View 1 Replies View Relatedtoday I obtained a computer from a friend who had just bought a new computer, and they were getting rid of the old one. Being a linux user I couldn't let a perfectly good albeit slow Windows XP computer go to waste. With Ubuntu 10.04 install it is lightning fast. I've noticed it is faster than the current computer I use as a server, and want to migrate the HDD over to the new machine. I know there are issues when doing so with Windows as it registers the hardware and has major heartburn with this, so I was wondering if Ubuntu or linux in general will have any problems. I simply want to move it over.
I don't have a problem with reformatting as it has it's own /home partition, but for obvious reasons I would like to minimize down time. I did a search on google and on the forums here and I didn't find what I want to do.
I was wondering if it's possible to rip the Ubuntu OS from a computer with it already installed? Since I downloaded Ubuntu many moons ago, I've lost the disc and my internet only allocates a certain amount of gig to be downloaded before being slowed. Which has already happened this month, so it'd take me 3-4 days to download Ubuntu again. And I need it today, if possible. So I would like to try and get the OS from the computer with Ubuntu already installed, so I can install Ubuntu on the other 2 laptops in the house.

I've put the DVD into a crappy old laptop I have and it boots from it so I know its functional (the laptop shows some error for kernel or something but regardless it does get the ball rolling).
