UBUNTU 10.04.1 LTS
AMD64
Is there any way I can prevent OpenOffice automatically installing when using the Alternate disc? I want to install a different package (LibreOffice 3.3) without having to uninstall Ubuntu's OpenOffice.
I'm trying to install 10.04.2 on a Dell machine with no current OS. I finally found the thread that said to use the alternate installer if you have a RAID: so i'm using ubuntu-10.04.2-alternate-i386.iso, burned using Roxio on my (different) windows box.
I go through the early installer steps ok, get to partitioning, choose guided resize (potential tangent: first time this modified partitions #6 and #7, second time it was just "use entire disk"). Then "installing base system", then a dialog that says: Please insert the disk labeled "Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS _Lucid Lynx_ - release i386 (20110211.d) in '/cdrom/' and press enterWell, the disk is already in the drive, and the installer has previously claimed it's reading from /cdrom. Reinserting it doesn't change anything. My only choices are <Continue> or <Go Back>, both of which display the same message. So i can't get past this, or escape, or do anything other than power down.
Looking at the disk on my Win machine, it appears to be labeled "Ubuntu 10.04.2 L" (can't tell if that's truncated or not).
Does the installer really demand a certain label on the disc to succeed?? how to successfully install in this situation?
Update: just to be sure, i checked the md5sum, and it's correct.
installing Open Office 3.2. Once I downloaded it, I extracted it, then went to the desktop integration folder. I clicked that and it took me to "openoffice.org-debian-menus" and I installed that package.

Older distributions required manually installing Grub to the second drive, to boot if the first drive fails. I found different statements about how this is handled since 9.10.e.g.
Quote:
Install GRUB boot-loader on second drive (this step is not need if you use Ubuntu 9.10)
or
Quote:
installing GRUB to second hard drive depending on your distribution
> grub-install /dev/md0
or
> grub-install /dev/sda
> grub-install /dev/sdb
is Grub2 automatically installed in all RAID drives using alternate CD 10.04 like executing sort of "grub-nstall /dev/md0" during the installation ?
Launching OpenOffice takes several minutes because it's trying to connect to the Internet. The problem gets worse in a dial-up connection. Turning off the Internet takes less than a second to start. How can I prevent OpenOffice from trying to access the Internet when it starts?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a couple apps that I cannot figure out how to prevent them from starting automatically upon logging in. They are NOT listed in my Startup Applications under preferences. For example, pidgin. Pidgin automatically starts at each login even though it is not in the startup apps nor can I find an option in pidgin itself. Tomboy is another. I always get an error that tomboy cannot be added to my panel when I restart. The error in the tomboy panel log is that tomboy is already running. Does ubuntu have a hidden "start up" folder like Windows does in the start menu? Where can I clear this file/folder?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to get a script to run whenever an optical disc is mounted by the system but can't get it to work. I'm running Fedora 12 64bit and the drive is SATA device sr0.
Following online guides, I created a new rule file called '10-my.rules' in '/etc/udev/rules.d' which contains the following:
Code:
KERNEL=="sr0", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/myscript"
But nothing happens when a disc is mounted. The script itself runs fine manually and is clearly evident when launched so the problem must be the rule file. I've tried changing the name of the rule file in a few incremental steps from 10-my.rule to 99-my.rule to no effect.
I've gathered some information about my optical drive using the udevadm tool.
Here is the result of an info query:
Code:
P: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0/block/sr0
N: sr0
S: block/11:0

I have an NTFS partition problem which prevents me from installing openSUSE on my desktop computer. It's not a trouble with installation, it's a security issue relating to NTFS.I have a desktop running XP exclusive, but wish to also go dual boot but can not because I have created a NTFS partitoin on my HD wich I don't wish others to know about.After booting window$, I am able to successfully unmount the partition using Diskpart, which is a command line program within that OS. Once unmounted, it is effectively hidden from those who might be snooping until I manually remount it. Essentially I remove the drive letter which makes it inaccessible to Windows.
(Yes I know a person with proper skills can easily find it, but that's not applicable in my case for those who would look)If I install openSUSE which I desperately desire, it will automatically locate and mount the NTFS partition I wish to hide, making it easily accessible to anyone booted up in SUSE.Changing the attributes to the associated files to "hidden" is not an option. I need that secret partion to remain unknown.How can I hide, deny access to, or prevent that particular NTFS partition from automatically being mounted in Suse? Once that security issue is resolved I look forward to using Suse again, like the other people do in our home.

I don't want my wireless network card to be automatically enabled in Network Manager when I start my computer. I keep setting it to disabled in Network Manager but when I reboot Network Manager has re-enabled it again.
Is there some way of starting with wireless disabled until I tell Network Manager to enable it?
On a system I did not initially setup, I'm trying to figure out how to switch to Dvorak. I know how to do it normally through gnome, but it looks like there weren't any alternate keyboard layouts installed. Does anyone know what package/packages i need?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am working with a "Legacy" computer (a Dell Dimension, 125MB RAM, and a Pentium III processer) without a working CD/DVD player.I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 Alternative i386 iso (from the hard drive using Unetbootin) using the Command Line installation option.The computer already has Windows XP Professional installed with a working internet connection (Linksys - Wireless - G - USB Network Adapter WUSB54G).
The problem is that during installation I can't get Ubuntu to recognize my WEP internet connection. I am sure I could get Ubuntu to recognize my wireless device/connection if I already had Ubuntu installed, but I can't find anything on how to get it to recognize it during a hard drive installation.Any ideas on how I can get Ubuntu to recognize my WEP internet connection/USB Wireless Adapter during installation?Let me add that I don't understand why it is manditory to have an internet connection during a hard drive installation, but not from a CD installation - it is the same iso isn't it?
Not sure if anyone uses floppy drives anymore much. I know that most machines don't come with them anymore unless you ask for one.One of my machines [Machine # 2] has a floppy and I have never had the occaision to use it under linux [opensuse 11.2 currently]. Until now that is! I have about 30 floppies that I need to transfer the data from. I am able to mount the floppy drive and take data off the currently inserted floppy, but if I want to insert another floppy and remove the data from it, I must unmount and remount the floppy everytime. There is an entry in fstab:
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user 0 0
and a mount point in media [/media/floppy] Is there something else I need to have in the fstab line for the floppy so that it will read automatically everytime I insert a disk?
This is rather queer, as I know what I'm looking for, but I'm not sure what it is called, or whether it exists in Writer.
I'm writing a report, and I would like to have the content (index) page configured "automatically", so that it lists my headings in the rest of the document, but if I add something in the middle of what has already been written then it should pick that up and change the content page accordingly, without messing up the page numbers.
It's quite a pain to make a content page by hand. I think MS Word has a tool to allow you to do this, but I don't want to use MS Word in this case for various reasons. So does anyone know what this is called and perhaps how it is done on Writer. Although, if I know what it's called, I can use the Help.
I had ubuntu with grub2 on my external, with 2 partitions, sdc1 and sdc2 i had to install CentOS but the only 2 options when installing was "install on sda" or "don't install bootloader" and I chose don't install because I need my external to be bootable and now the grub from my external is broken, no file found.
My question is how do I install grub 2 on /dev/sdc and update it so I can boot it?

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I finished downloading Windows XP Ultimate (It is real. It's not officially supported by Microsoft) and I expected it to be small like Ubuntu was. I only have a CD-RW drive. I realized the extreme size difference with Ubuntu over 600mb and XPU over 4gb. I know how to modify partitions from the Live CD. I'm wondering if it's possible to install XPU or any version of XP while the operating system is active. It was possible with Windows 98. This might be the wrong place to post, but I really want to dual-boot Windows. Linux is great, but I would like to use SOME of my stuff without WINE.

I'm not able to do this from Nautilus View because of the error that I do not have permission to do so.
I have made the dir in terminal using sudo mkdir
moving the actual fonts from my desktop into the actual folder. I don't know how to do it.
I'm doing a full actual install, but every time I try it boots into live mode instead.
I've checked the disc and it says everything is kosher. I'm not sure what's going on.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have two sata HDs. One of these has Debian an Winxp installed. Grub is the bootloader. Grub resides in MBR (on the same disk). Now that I've added that second disk, I would like to test win7 on it. What I would like to do is to be able to choose -at boot time (maybe in bios setup)- between booting from the disk containing win7 or from the disk containing Grub with winxp and Debian. I thought that when installing win7 it would let me choose the disk where to install it and here is where the problem arises.
Win7 installer detects my partitions and lists them as if they were not on different disks. What would happen if I choose to install win7 on the partition I want to (second disk, partition1)? Will win7 create a new bootloader? Now I am a little confused and don't want to keep on going not being sure the results are what I expected. What steps should I follow to install win7 on the second hard disc not affecting the disc with winxp, debian and grub letting me choose between these two Operating Systems?

View 2 Replies View Relatedthis blew my mind today, because i've been using ubuntu for 2 and half years. Brasero 2.28.2 in Karmic does not have an option enable multisessions when burning disc or import a disc which has a multisession.
Seriously, wtf is going on? This is supposed to be Ubuntu's default CD authoring software.
I'm trying to install files and everytime I manage to install from the first disc I succeed. When I get the the second disc I just keep clicking the "OK" button instead of "Cancel" and it keeps neglecting it.
