I have ubuntu server installed on a pc. The motherboard died, so I switched the HD to another computer. Everything is fine except the network. I cannot access this computer from other computer (while it was possible before). I looked at the interfaces and everything seems fine. The nic itselft seems to work too.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI start using Ubuntu, after successfully installed it without any problem.Then I downloaded latest updates, etc. But,after installing a display driver, my computer freezes, refusing to go beyond the welcome screen. I tried several ways but could not solve the problem. So I decided to re-intall Ubuntu, download again the updates, again configure my settings, etc. herefore, I'd like to know whether there is any application to backup or to create a full image of a hard disk so as to avoid the long hours of re-installation.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having a strange problem I've never encountered before. I have an Asus Eee S101 10.1" netbook with the 32GB SSD. I installed Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Edition.
The other day, I was browsing with Firefox, when suddenly the entire computer came screeching to a halt. Had to power it down with the power button. After this happened, I have been unable to use the same Firefox profile I had been using. I had to start Firefox from the command line with the -ProfileManager switch, then create a new profile to keep browsing.
I wanted to completely get rid of the old profile, so from the Profile Manager I tried to delete the old one. Computer hung, had to reboot with the power switch. I then tried to browse to the .mozilla/firefox directory and delete the profile's directory there, from both Nautilus and the command line. Both times, the computer froze.
I tried a few more times, and the couple of times the computer didn't freeze, I got an error from the command line saying a Bash input/output error. After this error appeared, it would appear no matter what command I ran - I couldn't even run a sudo reboot now.
I can create/delete other files and directories, just not that Firefox profile.
I set up an NFS server on my home computer, all very simple add a line to /etc/exports, run exportfs -a, all worked well and as expected. Through no fault with Fedora, bugs in the client computer made me abort the entire experiment. (long story that you don't want to know) Undo all the config, reboot. However I'm now left with an issue that's not earth shattering. Every time I reboot my computer a /Public directory is created in my home directory, this is obviously a legacy from the original NFS setup. I've trawled through log files, looked at config files in /var/lib/nfs, but can find nothing that might be generating this /Public directory at boot time.
View 14 Replies View RelatedMy Ubuntu 9.10 is intalled on a partition on my computer HDD. The other partition OS is Windows XP. My Windows uses McAfee as the antiviral program. Granted that linux is at a much less risk for viruses, some still apparently can slide through on incoming emails from Windows computers.
1) Will my Windows partition McAfee protect the entire computer?
2) If not, suggestions for an anti-viral program?
I have just put together a new computer using an Intel i3-550 64 bit processor, and installed Windows (first), then Ubunutu 10.04. A separate /home partition was created. The hdd in this computer is formatted ext4.
Now I want to move my /home partition from my old 8.04 computer (32 bit, formatted ext3) which also has a separate /home partition.
Both are connected to a lan, but so far I have not been able to connect from one to the other.
I have done lots of googling on this and am astonished at the apparent complexity involved. There seem to be issues involving whether or not the /home partition in the old computer is in use, user permissions, and I don't know what all else.
Assuming that neither the ext3 on the old and ext4 on the new, nor the 32 bit on the old and the 64 bit on the new are not issues, how do I go about moving the /home from the old to the new? If possible, I would like to use a GUI rather than the command line, but if it is necessary to use the command line, please specify where one needs to be located in the file hierarchy in order to give the designated commands. I am not very knowledgeable about using the terminal.

I've been trying to figure out how to move /home to the other partition that exists on my computer, however it's ntfs and turns out it's impossible to move my /home there. So how do convert that ntfs partition to ext3, I don't mind loosing data that's in that partition. [url] is the partition I'm talking about. So what's the best way to do it ? If you write what commands I should use please include partition names.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just updated to kernel 2.6.35.13-91.fc14.x86_64, and I'm now having a weird issue where my computer will hang during startup and shutdown unless I move the mouse around.
While moving the mouse, it will boot up or shut down normally. Once i stop moving the mouse around it will hang (until I begin to move the mouse again).Once fully booted it acts fine..
For Ubuntu 10.04 LTS / Gnome 2.30.2.
I have two applets on my Gnome panel -- NetworkManager Applet 0.8, and Klipper (it works better than Glipper) -- that I want to move.
HOWEVER, right-clicking the panel icons does not enable me to move these applets, as follows:
- NetworkManager Applet 0.8 does not include a Move item in its list of options.
- Klipper displays a long list of Klipper options but no Move option.
How I can move these items to new locations on the Gnome panel?
How can I upload an entire folders worth of stuff at one time?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have three computers in my network, but two will be mentioned. Computer A is a Linux Mint 9/Windows 7 dual-boot, and I have just installed Mandriva Free 2010.2, which I will call Computer B.
Now my main problem is that Computer B, while it can see and access Computer A's shares as well as the third computer, the aforementioned computers cannot access Computer B. The message was: "Unable to mount location/Failed to mount Windows share." Now, the SMB protocol was used because of the third computer and Computer A have Windows OSs installed in them.
What I originally wanted was that I can share Computer B's NTFS partition, namely Documents and Downloads, to the other computers. And I can't do that, because of the error message.
What I can do, however, is use Computer B to view shares from the other two computers (Computer A, as an example). By my experiences in Linux Mint, I understand that I'd have to mount my Windows partitions in order to share them. I don't even know if my NTFS drive in Computer B is mounted, though that is what was described.

I just bought a new Kingston DataTravler G2 16GB usb drive and was wondering if it was possible to encrypt the entire device.As in, it would require a password before even seeing any files. If possible I'd like something that works on all OS's but if not any suggestions would be great.

I have a few .chm files that I can view in xCHM or other chm file reader programs.
However, what I really want is to just print out every page of the .chm into one big .pdf file. Then I can read it a lot easier and it is much more portable for me.
Does anyone know any command line or tool that can output every page of a .chm file, formatted, in order, to a PDF or just the Printer?

Well, i've made a lot of changes to ubuntu 10.04 and now i love it! It does everything i'll want from any computer. This took me a lot of time, follow several tutorials and destroy the entire system a couple of times. The last one is a BIG problem because restoring my system to the state before i ****** all up takes some time again.Do any of you guys know how to backup all my system settings, programs and files? So that if i corrupt my system again i can restore it to be exactly as my current state?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI would like to install the entire Ubuntu OS to my USB drive. I know persistence works with it fine, so it would be perfect for traveling and on the go operation. The only question that I have has to do with the booting of the OS. Normally, I know I would have to restart the computer and boot from the USB. Then I came across MojoPac, and I think it is a cool idea. It starts up once the USB is plugged in and there is no need to restart. Would it be possible for me to simply plug in the USB on a Windows PC and have Ubuntu run in a similar fashion?

View 12 Replies View RelatedI've got an odd problem and was wondering if anyone had any insight. I'm on Ubuntu 9.10 on a Gateway E-100M and everything works great except for firefox. My machine will hard freeze about once a day when using firefox. The whole OS -- no mouse movement, no keyboard response, etc.I've switched to Chrome for weeks and I get no issues at all. I switched back to firefox and it hard froze within the first hour or so. I know it's unusual that an individual program would freeze the whole OS rather than just crash, but it seems to be a fairly consistent pattern.
