I have two computers and a wi-fi router. A notebook with Ubuntu 10.04 and a desktop with Windows 7. Whenever the notebook is on, the desktop starts having horrible Internet speed, and eventually disconnects. If I turn the notebook off (or disconnect from the network) it starts working fine again. Both computers connect to the router via wi-fi. I should also note that the connection runs flawlessly on Ubuntu.

Ive been running windows 7/Ubuntu dualboot for some years now and never had any problems.Some months ago I got a new Patriot Inferno ssd. Ofc the first thing I did was to installl windows 7, it had no problems, ran fast and smooth. Then when I reinstalled grub I started to get error when trying to start windows, the logo never apeared and all I got was the message "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software"Status: 0x00.00F" "Info: The boot selection failed because a required device was inaccessible.". It does not matter what order I install windows and ubuntu in, or how many times Ive tried to reinstall grub. Windows 7 will not work while I have grub/windows installed. Right now Ive got them installed on separate drives, ubuntu on the ssd and windows on a partition on a 1tb hdd. Unfortunately I need to have windows for .net programing and gaming..

I have a website on a standalone Ubuntu server (using virtual host). I can access the site from 3 different Macs using Safari, Firefox and Chrome. I can access the site from my Mac using virtual Windows XP Pro in VirtualBox. But I cannot access the site from any Windows machine on the LAN, and it's frustrating I cannot get to it with name resolution nor with IP address.Here are some of my related configs:

I want to create a combined portable Ubuntu / USB stick.For this I intend to install Ubuntu to my 16 GB USB Drive. I am going to install some rather big programs (Matlab, Maple...) and therefor, I think the 4 GB persistent space in different startup-USB creators are to small.Because of this, I want to install Ubuntu to the USB drive, to get full functionallity. Also because of the small USB Drive size, I dont want to create two different partitions. For USB Drive use, I want to be able to save files larger then 4 GB (ie. not FAT32).
How can I create a fully functional Ubuntu USB, that can also be accessed from Windows? I understand that NTFS and Ubuntu is a bad mix, FAT32 have file size restrictions, and Windows cant accesss ext3/4.I saw someone talk about installing Ubuntu using the 'install in windows' to bypass Ubuntu-NTFS problems, but the link was broken, and I could not see how it was done. Also this [URL] talked about making the home folder accessible, but the linked site is now down.
I am running Ubuntu 10.10 and have 5 shares that I have setup for Samba (assume names of share1, ..., share5). I find that shares(2,3,4) are accessible from my MS Windows system, but the share1 and share5 are listed but Windows gives an error accessing them that I may not have permissions.I have reviewed the sharesve the same owner, group, and permissions.Is this a known Samba bug or configuration issue? I have gone through the smb.conf file multiple times as well as examining the directories and do not see what the issue might be.

We have about four workstations and a server. What we need is authenticating with the server, and when you log on, you should see your own desktip and documents idnependent on which workstation you use. Could this be solved by placing the user's home on a server share?We also need a server share accessible from both Linux, Windows an Mac, readable and writeable, as some prefers to bring their laptops to the office.I've read a little bit about terminal servers, but using the workstations as thin clients sounds like a waste, as they're just as powerful as the server. "Fat" clients sounds better,

In windows 7, I had 5 partitions on a hard disk: C, D, E, F, G . I installed Scientific Linux 5.0 on C partition and it removed Win 7 . It's graphic mode didn't work, also I couldn't access to the other drives. I replaced it by Fedora 13. I can work graphically Fedora but when I mount the other drives, just D drive is visible!

I've been using it for a couple of years, it has been mounted various ways and into various places, for the past year under Suse 11.2
Suddenly I discover that it's not accessible in Windows anymore. Drive gets an assigned letter but can't be opened. Tried on Windows 7 and Windows Xp.
This is the current fstab line:
/dev/disk/by-id/usb-Seagate_FreeAgentDesktop_3QK0A0N7-0:0-part1/home/stan/Seagatentfs-3gdefaults,locale=en_US.UTF-800
Drive is owned by the root but permissions are set for everybody.
This is ls -l line for it's mount point

Another weird thing about it is that if I try to copy a folder into it Dolphin gives me "can't create directory" error and then hangs. If I restart Dolpin I see that the folder has been created just fine and I can copy anything into this new folder without any problems, including creating any sub-folders.
That weirdness doesn't exist if I run Dolphin as a superuser.
I would create a separate thread for this issue if there's no connection.
For now I believe something screwed up the part where Windows reads what file system it is.
Is there a way to "unscrew" it and make sure that NTFS looks ok to Windows, too?
Backing up 750 GB drive and reformatting it is not an option in the near future and I occasionally need to take the drive and plug it into friends' Windows.
I have Linux installed on one machine with samba running and a second machine running XP. They are going through my router and I am using the same username/passwords for both machines and I have even gone to the point of allowing access to everyone for the share I created and the worgroup in samba is MSHOME just like my XP machine. When I view (or search) my workgroup computers my Linux machine shows up and so do the shares I created but when I try to open them I just get a message that permission is denied and I may not have permission to use this resource. I even tried setting access to the shared folder to 777 but still I can't open this share. Has anyone got any idea of why this is?

SO I installed Ubuntu 9.10 nad then windows XP. Now I can only get into windows. I tried to re-install Grub on the linux partition but I get an error: Cannot Read `/grub/core.img`correctly
I followed the tutorial on this forum. I booted to my Ubunut CD, ran termainal, sudo fdisk -l, mounted my Linux partition and ran sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/sda1 /dev/sda1. Which gave the error above.
How else can I fix this. Bearing in mind I cannot log into my Ubuntu system.
I figured the GRUB bootloader would know of it anyways, so i thought nothing of it when i installed Ubuntu on a seperate partition than Windows7. Now, (I dont have discs, and a my cuz let me use his, and he lost the disc), so i cant exactly just repair the MBR. Is there a way i can add it to the bootloader?
View 1 Replies View Related want to say that I was a windows user just about a week ago. Then I installed ubuntu on a USB flash drive, just for fun, and now it's installed as main OS on my laptop and the only thing I use windows for is syncing my iPod touch with iTunes. (Yes, I know about other possibilities to copy music to it from ubuntu, but I want to continue using iTunes.)
Now my main problem is that since I installed ubuntu (10.10 Maverick Meerkat), my windows (Windows 7 Home Premium 32 Bit) sometimes crashes during startup. Sometimes it boots up perfectly normal, then in some cases it crashes at the first attempt to boot and when I retry and choose "Start Windows normally" it works just fine and then there are the times when it crashes everytime I try to boot. I wasn't able to find out why it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I also removed all USB devices during startup but that didn't change it.I noticed that when I start Windows in safe mode first, it works, then I restart and choose normal mode and it works too.Has anybody experienced this issue and/or knows a way to fix it? It's just annoying to have to try several times just to be able to keep my iPod synced.
I already had Windows XP on the HDD. I installed Xubuntu 9.10, and used the installer to cut out a 10 GB chunk for Xubuntu. Xubuntu boots correctly, but I only get a blinking cursor _ when I attempt to boot Windows. I'm pretty much a newbie with Linux, although I did take a while to play around with the Live CD before installing - so I generally know where things are, but know very little about what is actually going on behind the scenes.Can anyone give me some advice for what steps I need to take to remedy this? The goal is to be able to boot whichever OS I need at the time.Also - I'm sure that my old stuff is all on the HDD - I can access it, but strangely enough, I seem to need to try to open that file system with like Firefox or something - it tells me I need to mount it, I mount it, then it becomes accessible..

View 1 Replies View RelatedTonight I decided I would install Ubuntu on my laptop, which also has windows 7 installed on it.I have two hard drives in the laptop, one 160GB in the "primary" bay and a 320GB in the "secondary" bay. My partioning got a bit screwed up when in installed windows (mostly because of laziness on my part) and the Ubuntu install just made the mess even bigger. The way it was setup before the Ubuntu install was this:Windows has a 55GB partition on the 320GB drive (yeah for some reason i am booting from the secondary drive, hence the quotes).This partition is bootable.
Following the windows partition is a 255GB storage partion, NTFSThere was 37GB of unused space at the beginning of the 160GB driveThere is a 122GB storage partition, NTFSBoth dives have a 49MB dell utility partition, FATAs you can probably tell, I really butchered the partitioning when installing windows.I took the 37GB partition on the first disk and split it into a 33GB partition for Ubuntu and a 4ish GB partition for the swapfile.After Ubuntu was installed it worked fine, but I cannot see the windows install in GRUB.This brings me to my question: How can I make GRUB see my windows install that is on a separate hard drive than the Ubuntu install?I know I could resolve the issue by wiping everything and doing it properly, but I really dont want to have to do this if there is an easy fix that will let me boot windows again.All of the windows files and whatnot are still there because I can see them from inside Ubuntu.
I have a Asus EEE PC 1005HA netbook, which I use with Windows 7. I've been abroad for the last 2 weeks, and when I came back I found out my younger brother has installed Ubuntu on it.
When I asked him he told me it's no problem, and he didn't overwrite Windows, just installed on another partition.
However, I'm trying to get back to my original operating system and I have no idea how. Obviously, he has none either as he is just an impulsive 15 year old.
I'd like to either uninstall ubuntu and return to my windows OS, or just choose at boot time which OS I want to access (I don't really mind having a linux onboard, I assume it has it's merits).
I downloaded Ubuntu 10.10.
I extracted the iso file.

View 1 Replies View RelatedBut I'm curious as to if drivers installed on Ubuntu can be moved/copied over to windows. I have been trying for weeks to get my sound card to work in my system. It's a kind of older Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 card and windows will not recognize it nor will any drivers I install work. To my surprise, I was messing with the audio options after my first ever install and test of Ubuntu (thoroughly impressed and excited btw), I noticed that my sound card was listed as a hardware option. I'd use ubuntu 24/7 if other computers, my HTPC, xbox, ect could connect to my media. I use windows for games, and such, so having the sound card installed would be a huge plus.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just installed ubuntu on a partition on my laptop that already had a windows7 partition. First I had Kubuntu installed, but I decided to just try Ubuntu instead. I did things the right way when I installed Kubuntu and I could switch between OSes on reboot. Then when I installed Ubuntu I accidentally put grub on /dev/sda1 instead of /dev/sda. I didn't even notice for a while because I never felt like I needed to go back to Windows until I felt like playing starcraft 2. That's when I noticed that when the boot options screen appears and I select Windows, the screen goes black, a cursor flashes in the upper left corner for about a second, then the boot options screen reappears.
If I boot using my windows 7 cd and go into recovery, get a command prompt and type Bootrec.exe /FixMbr and Bootrec.exe /FixBoot, the options appear to complete successfully, but then when I reboot, I get a permanent flashing cursor.
If I follow that by inserting my parted magic cd and running testdisk and overwriting the mbr, I get back to the first situation where the boot options screen will appear, but the windows boot loader just returns me to the boot options screen. I can get into ubuntu, at least. Whenever I run testdisk I can't replace the boot with the backup boot because I'm pretty sure it's identical to the flawed one.
about 6 months ago I installed Ubuntu because my Windows XP had been partially corrupted and was screwing up. One month ago I formated the drive XP was on and installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit on it; I couldn't dual boot so I looked online, found EasyBCD 2.0, installed it, and from what I can tell, I need GRUB on my Ubuntu side to be able to boot it, before this I didn't even know what GRUB was.
