View 3 Repliesi am a ubuntu user for about a year now. i ok with most things. but ive noticed the only things i can use are ones that are supplied for me. so i been trying to figure out how to install new programs not just from synaptic and the ubuntu add/remove. my issue is i have ubuntu 11.04 and i cant get my extracted tar.gz file to be recognized in terminal.
i first put cd home/nicholas/desktop/ndiswrapper-1.56 then nothin it just says no file or directory found. now i thought this was supposed to be a basic comand. am i missing something? is there a new way to write it now that were using 11.04 and not 10.10?
Due to crash of 10.04 grub, I installed it again from a live CD on D drive "C drive has windows 7", then immediately after install, I upgraded to 10.10 64 bit. Need to change the boot to Windows loader and not directly to Ubuntu as it happens now. I see "windows loader as an alternative option" and it works when I select it. when I boot to windows, my computer icon reads only one file on D drive "bootsqm.dat". from Ubuntu computer option, I can access all windows files.

I just installed debian from debian-live-8.2.0-amd64-standard+nonfree.iso and after installation, which finished without problems, I cannot boot the system. I get the error:

From grub-rescue via ls command I see that I don't have the i386-pc folder inside /boot/grub. I have only two files:

Uninstalled wubi (though I enjoyed Ubuntu I want to do a clean install instead of the wubi/windows piggy-back). However, I still get an option to choose ubuntu when rebooting. I know that there's something I need to delete in the boot.ini file, but all I read is "delete mentions of ubuntu" or "delete the ubuntu line".
I hope I'm understandably wary of just waltzing into the boot file and deleting something like this, so what exactly do I delete from the boot.ini file to complete the uninstallation?
This is what I have in the boot file:
Code:
So all I delete is the "C:wubildr" line? Or does all that do is remove the mention of ubuntu from the startup menu but I still need to choose XP as the OS I want to boot into during startup?
I finally did it. I took the plunge and moved away from MS and installed openSuSe on my system. I have a Gateway 650 with 160 MB of ram and yes it did install! To top it all off it also boots to Windows XP. This was all working fine until I < me < myself < yes I am a gonna admit >>USER ERROR<< booted the system into windows and I decided to see if my system needed to be DEFRAGGED. Yup I did.. I ran the defrag on the system and when it was all said and done my NTFS file system was all nice and pretty no more fragmented files.
So I decided to reboot the system to see that wonnerful boot loader of openSuSe and I chose the 11.2 to boot to and I get the message that the previous installation failed and it starts to run the script to "fix" the installation. It hangs on around 4% the installation. I hit ctrl alt del and it boots into the openSuSe partition and it seems to be working, but I have that durn annoying screen of the "previous installation failed". Are there any ideas on how to as my GF 4 yr old daughter says "flix it"? Or do I have to go through the PAINFULLY SLOW installation again?
Looks like I waited too long to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10. Now the Update Manager wants to take my system to 10.04, but then says it is 'not supported with this tool'.Do I need to do a complete re-install of the OS? Is there a reasonable way to get to 9.10 without a complete re-install?

I've checked the disk and I tried different ways to install (different language, both keyboard and system). The first two attempts the installer just turns off and the computer reboots. This third time it just hangs. how to debug and solve this problem?
It's the x86_64 version. I'm using the standard options all the time including LVM on whole disk.
When I visit packages.ubuntu site, I see dapper, maverick etc. What are these? Also I need to install complete gcc, g++ and dependencies. How to do it?

Booting, I get as far as '[0.541227] kernal_thread_helper' and it stops there with or without a disc. How do I complete the install or strip out something so that I can start again?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI just installed ubuntu 11.04 (64-bit) on my system. I mounted / on my SSD and /home on my HD. The installation proceeded for a while and then I suddenly got a message that the installer crashed. Nevertheless the installed linux seems to work and I can boot in Ubuntu. Not sure what exactly is wrong now that the install didn't complete. Any way for me to check what went wrong and what exactly I can do to make sure my system is ok? All appears ok but appearances can be deceiving.

Whenever I would attempt to do a normal install, the graphics would seem to crash and the screen would become distorted and basically just blocks of black and white. So I tried to do it in graphics safe mode, which succeeded. However, now I cannot start the Xubuntu GUI, and I get the error message "Display not found".

Good day! Just finished setting up my 11.04 home server this week. Installed GNOME initially and ended up not feeling it (a bit too slow for VNC on my Atom box). Performed sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop and then installed xfce.
Now, I can't use tab-complete in any Terminal app in xfce when using VNC to access the box. It still works properly over SSH. Have ensured that all lines referring to auto-complete are un-commented in the following:
/etc/profile
/etc/bash.bashrc
~/.bashrc
I have verified that bash_completion is installed (reinstalled using Synaptic just to be sure). It seemed to work intermittently when I changed the above config files but has reverted back to not functioning anymore.
In older versions of ubuntu I could use tab to autocomplete folder names multiple times in one command in a terminal, for example:
Code:
tar -cvf myapp.tar --exclude='/var/www/f[TAB]older-name/cache/*' --exclude='/var/www/f[TAB]older-name/sessions/*' /var/www/f[TAB]older-name
Now only the first tab works, is there any way to get this behavior back?
I'm trying to install Ubuntu on an Aspire laptop with Windows XP. I downloaded 10.04 and burned an ISO image. I boot Windows and open the ISO disk. I open the first choice which is to try Ubuntu prior to a complete installation. The installation starts and proceeds for a few minutes. Then it stops and displays a message 'Permission Denied' and a suggestion to check the installation log. The last few lines are:

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there already a program that reads multiple pipes or file descriptors and writes to the standard output (not splitting lines).Like cat, but reading all files simultaneously and preserving lines.It is needed to avoid coding of select/epoll loops or using multithreading in simple programs. Like "select loop for bash".
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just installed F15 and although different, I like it a lot. One thing I don't like, however, is the default auto-completion of environment variables in the terminal. In F14 and older, if you type for instance
Code:
ls $HOME and hit TAB, auto-complete will list the contents of $HOME to search deeper, so to say. But in F15, the terminal automatically escapes the $ sign. If you do the same as above, you get
Code:
ls $HOME
instead of
Code:
ls /home/benny/
how to change the auto-complete settings of the terminal so that $'s are not escaped anymore?
i'm trying to install ubuntu on a sony vaio. Unfortunately i cannot boot from a cd on which i have burnt the .iso file of ubuntu. The only way i managed to install ubuntu was by creating a usb bootable stick, but here also that doesn't work so well. My workaround was to use virtual clone drive which is freeware to simulate a cd rom in windows and get the iso file started. By leaving the bootable usb stick in the computer in this way it worked...
So in the end i have grub and can load ubuntu and win xp, but then by trying to format the harddrive i kind of messed things up and had to reinstall windows. Because the DVD drive only reads original cds. So from there i will attemp to reinstall ubuntu again. But how can i get rid of win xp afterwards ? If that CD Rom would only read burnt cds or if it would habe been possible to boot from usb then i wouldn't have this trouble.
Ive installed about 50+ boxes with ubuntu/mint/fedora/etc but f15 is giving me a real headache...
I tried a fresh install over f14 with this drive (sdb, sda is my backup disk)
Installed obviously in part7
After rebooting (successful copied live image on hdd)
Code:
After another couple of installs (with lvm & w/o lvm) & even disconnecting the second harddrive -> same issue
Typing 'ls' in the rescue grub prompt returns
Code:
Cant 'ls /' into a single them - unknown filesystem (grub is installed in mbr of sdb) 'linux rescue' (wanted to try manual grub installation) command didnt work either.
Now again on fedora 14, same installation procedure, works fine. (and i wont bother doing a full distro upgrade from f14)
Iv been using ubuntu on my laptop for just over a year now and thought it about time my desktop got the same. I cant get rid of the vista section of the disk because of things i have on there so a friend gave me a spare 80gb hard drive to have a play with it and go from there. So first of all installed unbuntu 10.10 on the hard drive alls fine i can boot into both vista and ubuntu, i then want to install backtrack 4, so i booted the backtrack disc and off we went, i split the 80gb hard drive in two and installed backtrack to one section, now i cant boot to anything other than backtrack. I got an option for ubuntu although this does look different now (showing up as 'ubuntu, with linux 2.6.35-22-generic-pae') when i go to this option i get the message "error 15:file not found" I also have the option for other operating system, i get this message when i choose this option "error 11: Unrecognized device string"
