Ubuntu Installation :: How To Disable DST
Feb 17, 2010
I need to disable DST (Daylight Savings Time) in Ubuntu Feisty 7.04.
I know that the daylight savings rules can be found with:
$ zdump -v America/New_York | grep 2010
America/New_York Sun Mar 14 06:59:59 2010 UTC = Sun Mar 14 01:59:59 2010 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000
America/New_York Sun Mar 14 07:00:00 2010 UTC = Sun Mar 14 03:00:00 2010 EDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400
America/New_York Sun Nov 7 05:59:59 2010 UTC = Sun Nov 7 01:59:59 2010 EDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400
America/New_York Sun Nov 7 06:00:00 2010 UTC = Sun Nov 7 01:00:00 2010 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000
I noticed that the installation doesn't mention DST as an option. Does Ubuntu allow for operating without DST? If so, how can I disable it?

Is there a way to disable LVM at boot, I'm having problems with the HD at install this on the attachment is what i get.
The only drive showing there is /dev/sdb the other one is not a drive, there should be 2 more 120gb HD and 1 250GB but they don't show, now I've tried installing slackware and it can see all the different drives no problem and i was able to install to /dev/sda with no problem, is there anyway i can just disable LVM or whatever it is that is doing that to my drives? thanksAnd btw they are not in a raid at all, they are all sata drives on the onboard controller of the motherboard which is MSI P43 NEO-F

I just finished the update. Though everything seems to work just fine hardware wise... somehow it was decided that I'd prefer netbook remix over the standard install. I hate it! I can't seem to find any way to get the standard desktop mode back, and I feel like after the upgrade, my fan has been working overtime for some reason.
Can someone point me in the right direction to disable netbook remix? I really cant stand it.

I configured my flash drive to be bootable using the gui startup disk creator, and it's working pretty well for me, but every time it boots, it pops up the dialog where you have two options, to use the live usb mode or to install. Is there any way to bypass that prompt and just go straight to the live usb mode?

I am looking to upgrade a box of mine using command line only. I am going from 10.04 to 10.10 and have changed all instances of lucid to maverick within the sources.list file but now I don't want to continue until I can be safe to upgrade by disabling the third-party repos. How can I disable these using the command line? Should I just move the sources.list.d folder? Any other ways I'm missing?

i made a persistent Live USB from the Ubuntu Maverick option Startup Disk Creator in the live cd distro. It works really good, i've installed the apps and changes i wanted, but now i'd like to lock persistency so no new changes or any data whatsoever may be stored. Is there a way to disable this capability so it may behave just like the CD adding the changes i made?

I wanted to install Ubuntu 11.04 on my pc (dual boot with windows xp which is already installed on one disk).
I have a Asus P5K pro (motherboard) which has a integrated raid controller and i have two 500 GB hard disks.
On BIOS raid is disabled. On Windows i see 2 different disks (correctly)..
When i try to install Ubuntu, on the disk/partition stagei only see /dev/mapper/xxxxxx which should be the raid (i could be wrong). I tried booting inserting the nodmraid option but if i do i cannot see any disk.
what can i do to solve this?

I have a rehearsal studio in which I play some serious brutal pwnage Heavy metal.And of course my fellow metal-heads need a computer so we can mix our music and such. So I build us a scrap PC and installed Linux Ubuntu 10.10. I know that these head banging friends of mine will eventually begin installing a lot of crappy software on it. So I made an Admin account for myself and a restricted one for them.
There might be times when they really need to install something in my absence, so I've decided to make an open Live CD for them to have, so they can have some of their own stuff on it. As you might know, when you boot on this CD you can choose between installing Linux Ubuntu or "trying it" What I want to do is that I want them to use the try- thingy so they wont erase the disk over and over. Of course I can just tell them not to install the actually operative. there's a way to disable the "Install" button in some config file or something Similar.

The "Check if already posted" brings up no results. I've installed Ubuntu 11.04 with Wubi on my Window7 Home Premium laptop. No problems, except that I can't find "System" to make adjustments, specifically:
(1) Disable touchpad (it is disabled in Windows7).
(2) The display is only using about two-thirds of the screen (11.6" Samsung X120). In the Windows7 setup I do have the resolution set at 125% because the fonts are terribly small otherwise on this quite high resolution display.
During the installation I was not taken thru settings screens for things like language, video, like I have been on the very rare occasions I've installed a Linux OS onto its own partition, presumably because Ubuntu 11.04 is being installed as part of Windows7.

The problem with X not starting up started after I upgraded kernel from 2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.i686 which is what the FC15 came with. Before that I had X, without installing the nvidia.com driver (whatever came with the stock FC15-XFCE spin).I tried booting the old kernel and at first it worked but X again would not run. Now, after, above operations (reinstall of kernel-devel + kernel headers and all dependencies like glibc-common, glibcs-headers, dkms, gcc..) booting the old kernel does not work anymore: the framebuffer animation of the Fedora logo fillingup freezes at some point almost at the end; HD LED blinking hard. Maybe this means fsck is running and I need to give it more time..? I'll leave it booting when I go for lunch and see how it goes...

I'm installing a non-X server using squeeze 32bit netinst iso, expert installation. I don't know that I can specify "debian-installer/framebuffer=false" during the installation, after reboot I got a framebuffer display with console fonts smaller and fonts look like ubuntu. I search around I can edit GRUB config for the resolution items or disable framebuffer. How can I disable the framebuffer (use normal text system fonts) when booting in LILO?
I got everything installed and setuped, I don't want to re-install the OS again.

dose any one know the text string to enter to DISABLE ip v6 100% during the install?using the gui installer for fedora 5,6,7,8,9 i have been able to disable this ( uncheck a check box) then set the system up manually for ip4 .the reason is for some reason if ip6 is on during the install ( i have had this problem with all versions of fedora f5 through 9 and now 10)then fedora will never, never, NEVER ever connect to the net .the ip6 lookup kills my cable box, i boot into windows and it can not even connect until i unplug the box for 2 min and plug it back in and get a NEW/renewed ip address .so i do believe that i am going to need to do a text install and disable ip6. But the question is HOW ?

I just started using linux (newb) on a dual boot with windows VISTA. I need to disable data prevention execution whenever I do boot Vista through GRUB but I don't know what command to use nor exactly where to put the command.On a single boot windows machine, all you would do is type the following at the command prompt and reboot: bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOffAlso, GRUB lists my VISTA boot option simply as "other." Is there a way to change that?

H/W : Intel 1.6GHz, BioStar U8548
S/W : Ubuntu 8.04 + RTAI + EMC2 (CNC controller)
In configuring CNC controller system, latency-test must be run to find maximum jitter of the system. It counts about 17,000 ns for few minutes, then it suddenly rise to 260,000 ns. It is impossible to control CNC with such large jitter.
In tracing this problem, I found that Award BIOS setting "Delay Prior to Thermal" is firmly engaged in making a problem. When I set this setting to 4 minutes, it makes large jitter periodically with exact 4min 15sec period. When I changed this setting to 8 minutes, its jitter is 8min 15sec period.
But, there is no option to disable this BIOS setting.
I heard that ACPI enabled OS can take over the ACPI function of the BIOS (which may include this "thermal" setting), but RTAI tuned kernel don't include ACPI modules.
Is there any solution to this problem ? If I recompile kernel with RTAI with ACPI processor module enabled, would it be a another problem maker ?

So I just installed Ubuntu on my second laptop, however I ran into a problem. The F9 key is going crazy. I'm not exactly sure what is causing it (I've already popped off and cleaned the keys) but if I could find a way to just disable it I'd be very happy.
