I have installed Lucid Lynx and have spent some time setting it up to my liking. I normally use PcLinuxOS and it has a GUI application (mklivecd) that lets you make a LiveCD out of your installation, is there an equivalent in Ubuntu?

I have just finished installing 10.04 on my EEE 900A. Stuff works flawlessly insofar as I can tell. The one remaining thing I am still trying to figure out is how to turn_off the touchpad. Is this doable with some utility that I can grab from Some repo??
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn backing up my server, I back up my databases with mysqldump. I save that file in /tmp, tar it (w/ gzip), and move it to the backup storage.
However, while phpmyadmin handles .tar.gz, it doesn't like my file, since the .sql file isn't in the root directory of the archive.
That is... when I run tar, it saves the entire directory structure leading up to the file... which is what it's supposed to do.
If I want to import my database back, I need to untar it first, which I don't mind, but I was wondering if there was a way around having to do so...
I am still a newbie at Linux, but have managed to get about 6 different Kubuntu systems up and all running a localhost test web server. I always start out with a server .iso and after installing I add a kubuntu desktop GUI. I have an old laptop that was running 8.04 server w/xubuntu desktop gui and it was running my test web pages through localhost. I got a wild hair and thought it was about time to upgrade to 10.04 server. I always do a complete install and this time I tried lubuntu desktop GUI. I really like lubuntu but for some reason can not get localhost to run. I get a 402 forbidden error. same error with 127.0.0.1 Here is what I get when I run this command

I just installed Mythbuntu 10.04 and have my Sony LCD TV connected via a DVI to HDMI cable. The issue I am encountering is that everything works fine until I turn off the TV and turn it back on later, because the screen stays blank and from what the TV tells me there is no signal. I have no idea what can cause this. I checked the TV settings in terms of power saving and turned it all off. I turned off the screen saver in Ubuntu, but still the same issue. My motherboard uses the ATI HD4200 onboard graphics engine

View 2 Replies View RelatedI downloaded the *.iso for a Fedora 10 Live KDE installation. It is currently on my hard drive. I tried burning it to a CD with Roxio using two different methods. The first one was not a bootable method. So I checked the Roxio documentation and burned the image that way. In burning an *.iso to a bootable image on a disc, Roxio asks for three different file types, none of which are *.iso. I selected my *.iso because that was all I had. Then I burned it as a bootable to a CD.
When I tried to boot it, I got a black screen with a message at the top left reading something like there was no operating system available. I thought that was strange, and I do not know what to do.
when my grub references the UUID for the root= parameter, I get a kernel crash. If I change the root= parameter to /dev/<partition>, grub boots without a problem (f13 64-bit)

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Hewlett-Packard HP Pavilion dv6000. I had no issues before the upgrade, but after, my wireless driver refuses to turn on the wireless at all. I've seen in most of the posts, people can see the wireless networks but not access them. I can't even get my little orange wireless (off) light to turn blue (on). The "additional drivers" option in "administration" was a bust and I've tried reinstalling the kernel from my original disk iso.
Here is my wireless info:

I've been using kubuntu from time to time, and one thing that i love was the option to install/uninstall as if it was another common windows application. A few days ago, i downloaded the 10.10 release, and after i executed wubi, i just get 2 option: Full demo and install and learn more So, am I doing something wrong? BTW, i also run wubi with an ISO next to it, but it shows the same window. So, is there a way to install kubuntu as a windows appa again? I've tried google, but everything seems to point that that feature still exists, but i cant find it.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently got a netbook and setup as dual boot between win7 starter and 9.10 (64bit). Win 7 starter is not impressive so i want to nuke it and give the space all to my /USR partion. I am comfortable working with Gparted and assume that i can launch using my gparted live usb and delete the windows partion and then resize the /usr partion.
what changes do i need to make w/ Grub2? I would prefer not to see the Grub menu at all and have it load right the main kernel if possible. Also, if this is possible is there a way to get to the Grub menu during boot should i need to select a different kernel?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHaving just successfully installed fallout 3 (yippee), one question arises.
Is it possible to turn off (and eventually back on) all superfluous process during gaming ? As an ex-win xp user, there was an app called "game booster", i think, that did this.
The process i have in mind are things like fancy compiz settings, dockbar X, and any upgrades that might be taking place in the background.
Again, it is important that i can restart these functions after kicking super-mutant ***.
I just did a clean install of Ubuntu 11.04 on my PC. Installation went smoothly, and I can boot it and log in.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have been using Ubuntu 10.4 trouble free for the last week or so with the exception of one problem. Without warning, my computer shuts off. When I turn the computer back on, it skips the log in page. The turn off is very abrupt and happens without warning. It happened twice when I first installed the OS and has not happened at all until today when it happened twice again. Is this a common issue. It seems like a very odd way for a computer to crash.
