I made the mistake of installing e16 window manager from the synaptic. I logged out and logged into e16 for a session. I logged out and logged back into gnome but it seemed gnome and e16 were both running at the same time. I couldn't figure out what had gone wrong so I killed X and ran "sudo apt-get remove e16" when I logged back in all the windows had no bar at the top.

I just installed ubuntu 11.04 last night. I noticed most of my effects were missing so I tried to put them back on. This didn't work so I disabled the effects. Then, my panel at the top and the Launcher is missing. .How do I get these back?
I have an asus pc, and its network hardware is not recognized by debian, the drivers are not even in the list provided during the installation process. I managed to download them from another pc, but if i try to make them and install them, i'm stucked because Make is not installed on debian (nor is sudo).So i need a connection to install the drivers that provide me a co0nnections..

How to properly integrate these RPMs into our system?
Option 1: we could take those missing OS RPMs and install them? Option 2: can we package the missing files from missing OS RPMs into the existing Linux-xxx.rpm?
When I try and run a Java applet on Firefox, is says additional plugins are required, then it says Java already installed. I upgraded to 3.6 by extracting the firefox-3.6.tar.bz2 to it's own directory.
I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 recently. I used kpowersave in 9.10 which allowed me to control the cpu and made my notebook run on battery for more than 3 hours again.
In 10.04 kpowersave has disappeared - or is unsupported? How can I control the CPU-speed, even when plugged-in? I want it to run normally on low speed (fan does not blow) and high-speed, when I really need it.
So, onto my question. I kind of messed up my desktop computer trying to remove Ubuntu 8.10. I had installed 8.10 as a dual boot with Windows XP a few years back and now wanted to remove it mainly because of my mother, who can BARELY even turn a computer on. Plus, I can't connect to the internet anyway with Ubuntu (I need the Netzero dial up application in windows, since all I have right now is dial up).
Here's what I did. I downloaded the program "MBRFIX" so I could directly fix the mbr inside of Windows XP, since I don't have an XP recovery disc. I downloaded MBRFIX because I needed to get rid of GRUB. I fixed the mbr, and Windows XP directly booted. All was said and good, except Ubuntu still existed. I poked around on the internet and found something that said for me to use the Ubuntu Live CD and go to gpartition. It said to delete the Ubuntu partitions. So, I tried that, but it said something about unmounting something (I honestly don't remember what it said).
So, I continued following instructions. It said if you couldn't delete the partitions, to go to the terminal and type in "sudo swapoff" and then "sudo umount -a". So I did that. A bunch of stuff popped up in the terminal, mainly stuff that said "cannot unmount". I tried to delete the partitions once again, but that still failed. Finally, I just went back to Windows XP. I went to my computer, manage, and deleted the Ubuntu partitions from there. Finally, Ubuntu was gone! Of course, I wanted my 50GB space back on my XP, but I still had no clue how to go about putting that back. ........
Just tried to run an apt-get update on my 8.10 Ibex server and got lots of errors about missing Packages.gz files. Checking the archive site [URL] shows that all Intrepid directories are missing!

I have created 2 files and put them in a folder in ubuntu 11.04 64bit. The partition is ntfs and is shared b/w ubuntu and win7. The partition doesnot have win7 installed on it, win7 ubuntu and data partition are three seprate partitions of a disk. when i logged in win7 the files and folder newly created were missing. then i logged back in ubuntu and they were missing from there to.
I have edited /etc/fstab => "# data Drive UUID=C8E8EC38E8EC2682 /media/data ntfs auto 0 1"
so that the partition mounts itself at boot up, thats it I do not specifically unmount it, i just shutdown the pc normally. also win7 is hibernated, but its on sda0 its a different partition.

Sorry, serious Ubuntu noob here. I was messing with the bar at the top (I think it's called the panel?) And now it's gone. I'm sure there must be someway to get it to show up again.
I am attempting to upgrade my system to remove the two aging IDE drives and replace them with four SATA drives. I already have one SATA drive, which means I need a total of 5 SATA ports. My motherboard has two, while I had an existing PCI controller card (Promise TX2-Plus) with two ports. I purchased another card that uses the Sil3112 chip with two ports of its own.I have been running with the one Promise card with no problems for quite some time; lspci output is
I have ubuntu 9.10 freshly installed, and when I go to my ubuntu software center to install applications, there is no install button on the application page. I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this?

Alright, so I've been reinstalling OSes quite a bit lately, mostly Linux distros. I decided I wanted to play a game that I had that only worked in XP, so I cleared a partition for it and installed it there. I figured I'd be able to reinstall GRUB2 later and get back into my Ubuntu install - and even if I couldn't, my home folder was stored in a separate partition so it wouldn't be lost...
...well whoops, that was a mistake. When I booted up the live CD, GParted showed that entire hard disk as unallocated space. Disk Utility's output shows everything but the Ext4 partitions (and displays some ridiculously large amount of unallocated space near the end). Fdisk gives me this: code...
From what I've read while searching about this, the Windows install screwed up my partition table... but I haven't yet figured out how to fix this. My two Ext4 partitions are missing (though my one Ext3 partition is still there)... does anyone have any advice?
I can still read my Ubuntu partition (/dev/sda5) in the terminal, but not through file managers, and the partition where my home folder was stored is just missing altogether - exactly the opposite of what I intended when I created it. =/
I have a My book usb drive that in the provious install would show up with a My book icon as a "drive" on my desk top, in PLaces it shows as a blank icon.. for some reason the icon does not appear on my desktop, like normal, examples plug in ipod, ipod icon shows up, usb mini drive, that shows up?Also this could be related .. but my Pidgen icon on the tack bar does not show anymore... it used to be that I opened it and a little green icon sat by the clock?
I actually have no idea what the cause of this problem could be, but all my GTK programs don't display a menubar O.o
For example, the main menu of gedit with File, Edit, Help etc is just not there. I usually keep the menu hidden in the terminal, but checking the 'Show Menubar' option doesnt bring it back. Rhythmbox as well.
I have "Banshee" installed and use as an MP3 ripper (& Tag editor) and also use "Easy tag" to add cover art to id3tag data.The problem I have is Banshee detects all the mp3 id3tag info including the manually added cover art (Added by Easy tag).However when the music is dragged and dropped to my Sansa Fuze Mp3 player the cover art is not displayed (although it does support it and works with windows equivalents)
PS: I am trying to use Ubuntu as main system, I would use Ogg Vorbis but I have heard it doesn't support cover art at all.
I have been experimenting with Ubuntu and created a folder a couple of days ago, and messed around with the permissions so that only 2 of us had access to the folder. Must point out that i am a newbie to Linux... so in all likelihood, I screwed it up. Today when i went to search for the folder, it seems to have vanished i tried searching for it, but came up with nothing, i even searched for some of the documents that i have in that folder, and also came up with nothing.
Ok so I transferred about 6 or 7 gigs of music and videos to my laptop in 2 folders and 1 file just in the d:/ folder. This leftme with just one gig of space left on the drive. Now I turned of my computer and the next day when I turned it on, the files were gone or so I thought. The files are still taking up the space and when I tried defragging in windows, the files showed up under files not defragged and so did their old directories, but they still do not show up in ubuntu or windows explorer, I cannot navigate to them or open them, yet they are still on my hardrive and taking up space. How do I either get access to these files or delete them to free up space?
