I accidentally deleted my mahjongg game from ubuntu 10.04.Now when iam trying to install it from software center or synaptic, half way through it's asking for ubuntu cd.Eventhough i insert the original ubuntu 10.04 cd,it's not taking it.it keeps asking for the cd.It is same whenever i try to install any more game from synaptic or software center.
View 2 RepliesI managed to boot from hard disk, everything works ok. But Gparted has a bug, it works in Live Hard Disk, but not when I click the install icon because it can't umount /cdrom. But I solved that by formatting ext4 and swap area from gnome-panel Live Hard Disk and only put mount point / after click on install.But problem stroked back: install is not possible because it wants to umount itself before installing, wich cannot be possible. I'm installing it in a new place /dev/sda5. Live Hard Disk is booting from /dev/sda3.
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ df -h | grep sda

I downloaded the Ubuntu Server 10.04 64bit ISO and the universal USB installer, created a USB install disk and booted from it. I started the installation and right after keyboard setup I got an error saying Unable to read from CD-ROM, retry/abort. Looking at the alt-f4 log it was unable to find a file, fs-secondary.udeb I hit alt-f2 and cd'd to /cdrom/pool/main/l/linux (I think, this is all from memory) and found that file, almost. The file there was fs-secondaryblahblahblah.ude, no b on the end. I tried renaming it but the filesystem was mounted read-only.
So, cd back to /
Type mount and hit enter.
Take note of the cdrom entry, at the beginning of that line it will say /dev/? Mine was like /dev/svd0 or something like that. Remember whatever that is.
Then type umount /cdrom
Then type mount -t vfat /dev/????? (whatever your device was from earlier) /cdrom
That will mount the cdrom rw so you can rename the file to .udeb
Then press alt-F1 and press enter to retry and the installation will continue like normal.
I downloaded and burned the Fedora-13-x86_64-dvd iso to install on my shiny new box (MSI NF980-G65 MB, AMD Phenom II x4 945 CPU, 8GB Corsair DDR3 memory, generic ATAPI DVD drive, 2 500GB SATA drives, 2 1.5TB SATA drives). I boot from the DVD and and take the default install/upgrade option on the menu. I've tried with the default boot options and with about a dozen different options, all give the the same thing.
Looking console 3, shows the following:
ERROR loader: removing ddmode.conf failed
ERROR loader: got to setupCdrom without a CD device
It can't find the CD/DVD drive that it booted from. The install on console 1 is prompting for a driver to load. Do I need to download a driver for a generic ATAPI/IDE CD/DVD drive?
after having used 9.10 KK for quite some time now, i got curious about the games.i notice that while i am trying to install some of them - Airstrike, ACM Serial Combat Simulator, 20.000 Light Years Into Space etc, i am not able to do so.i a message box saying the following " Requires Installation of untrusted packages.The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources.can anyone please let me know who i can install such games ? and since there seems to be such a security threat how do i distinguish the 'bad' from the 'good' games.

I have had a dual boot on my system since first trying Ubuntu a few months ago.I had a few problems when i upgraded to 11.04 (mainly due to the new desktop Unity), but after some great help here, we had the old desktop running again.I have Windows running on my spare Computer in case i should need it for any reason, though can not think of one lol Now i am used to Ubuntu (from the using side, get lost in terminal etc so here i come if i need help) i decided i would totally commit my main computer to Ubuntu.I downloaded the latest iso from the Ubuntu site, and burnt it to CD, inserted in my main computer & rebooted. It goes past the first purple ubuntu page (hit a key to choose language & also get a selection Menu) then goes to black screen and i get:

Question 2 I used ufw to help me setup IPTables but I am not really happy with this tools. Since my network configuration must be quite common, point me to a regular IPtable setup script or give me the rules I should add?

I cannot install Kubuntu (or Unbuntu) 10.4 on my husband's computer. I have spent 5 hours on this and cannot get anywhere. I am deeply frustrated. The iso I burned to CD is good (works on 2 other computers). His computer will not boot from USB, no matter what I do to the drive order in BIOS. After loading the blue screen with the Kubuntu logo on it (and the blue-white dots), the screen changes to black and shows the following text:

I really don't get typing commands; I wish most things you could just kill "Download" then "Install" then "OK" like windows, but whatever. Anyway, I heard that Ubuntu has free open source games, especially RTS's and I was stoked. It said I had to download something called SpringLobby. I thought THAT was the game, but I downloaded it and nothing happened. Apparently, I need it to download games. So anyway, all I want to is download and play the games on this site [URL], especially Balanced and Complete Annihilation, but everytime I click on "Download" I get this error.

We have some games that was installed with my win xp. Trying to switch over to ubuntu and did a fresh install which wiped everything and setup ubuntu. I have some sound on boot up, but was curious if our other games will work. I was able to get my train simulator installed but no sound. Here are my system specs: emachine desktop T3504, 3.20ghz, 533mhz fsb, 512kb L2 cache, 100gb seagate hard drive 2gb ram, Nvidia ge force 8400 gs 512mb ram. My sound was factory installed as a realtek HD audio. realtek 10/100 ethernet factory installed also. As far as boot up and connecting to the internet I am very pleased. I'm not a programmer but can install cards such as pci, ram. Got a bigger hard drive to put in but been having problems with pc trying to recognize it.

I'm attempting to install Lucid on a new Acer Timeline X 5820T and having a tons of problems.
First of, I've got no internet connection either wired or wirelessly.
I've found several posts claiming that the ethernet card just needs a driver installed to work correctly.
However, to make the driver I need build essential installed, but no problem, I've got my CD, I'll just install them from the CD.
However, when I attempt to install them through synanptic it tells me that it:

I have just had my Ubuntu 10.04.2 Luci installed under my Windows OS. Things seem to be fine until I find out next that my copy of Ubuntu does not detect the presence of the cdROM which installed the software itself on my desktop machine.

Well I bought this book "Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 and it came with Debian installer. Thought this was too good to be true! Well, during the install I get a message that "cdrom not detecting install components". I ran the the diagnostic utility that was included in the disc and it did not report any issues.

I'm trying to install Lucid on a computer with windows already present. When I ran trough the install procedure no drives show up at the partitioning stage. So I check some things out and it turns out that /dev/sda1 is mounted to /cdrom and I can't umount it because it says the disk is in use. I'm booting with the live-cd downloaded from ubuntu. Why is this happening? Previously with older live-cd's I always have to mount the HD manually if I wanted to access it for any reason?

I need to force 80 pin cable detect on my cdrom. According to the kernel-parameters.txt file you can do this by using libata.force=(port).(device) 80c Here is the actual explanation from the kernel file: libata.force=[LIBATA] Force configurations. The format is comma separated list of "[ID:]VAL" where ID is PORT[.DEVICE]. PORT and DEVICE are decimal numbers matching port, link or device. Basically, it matches the ATA ID string printed on console by libata. If the whole ID part is omitted, the last PORT and DEVICE values are used. If ID hasn't been specified yet, the configuration applies to all ports, links and devices.
My question is where do you find the proper port.device numbers? I'm guessing it's lspci but I'd rather be sure before I do something silly.. An actual working line for a cdrw as master on the first ide channel would be excellent. BTW my cdrw is detected as sr0 so the normal "ide" boot params won't work....
Laptop has broken internal CDROM. I booted with floppy to get Puppy 431 installed from USB stick. Now I have USB CDROM access thru Puppy. I can mount and see the CD fine.
Is it possible to boot or install from a currently installed linux distro (Puppy)?
I have a second free partition ext2 available, sda2, and GRUB is working fine for me on boot.
(machine also doesn't have boot from USB option, yes, it's old, a project I am working on, I have Nimblex in CD now, I think it's a live cd, I would like to try a few different ones by installing to sda2 and wiping if ng.)
Something that really irritates me in Ubuntu is the way these programs are being installed, because it takes disk space I don't have.In windows I can put all the files in the same folder and even choose where to install the stuff, but from synaptic in ubuntu all the game file are being installed in 100 different folders. games are huge and the more you build them up and save (maps, savefiles etc) the more disk space will be used (obviously).When I had windows I used a USB stick to save my current game on to and simply removed it them when I was ready for the next game.Because, usually I don't finish more than 1, 2 or 3 games at the same time.
Now, in linux most of the games are open source and are therefor always out with new versions or maps and other extras. This makes the game folders bigger.Another problem I see with the linux way of installing games is that when I once in awhile take a iso backup using Remastersys, it goes way above the top limit (4gb or something).I mean that we can't install the things wherever we want. I mean the programs are not a big deal because they are small, but games are huge and bigger the more you add to them.
