I'm about to install a version of Ubuntu onto a 32GB flash drive, I've downloaded are Universal USB installer that will do most of the work for me, however, it asks
Step 4: Select a persistence option for your USB
and the options are
1GB CASPER -RW
2GB CASPER -RW
3GB CASPER -RW
4GB CASPER -RW
What is persistence? am I better off having more (ie 4GB) since my flash drive is a 32GB drive?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to recompile apache so I can select a different MPM compile time option. I have looked in the graphical application manager, but I don't see a development version of apache like you do for many of the packages. Am I not looking in the right place for the source code for the Apache 2.2.17 available with FC14?
Alternatively, I can download the source from apache.org for 2.2.17. However, the install options default to a host of different directories than the FC14 version does. Being somewhat OCD I hate to mess up my FC14 system by installing to a bunch of anomalous directories, and I don't want to break anything. I can change the default install directories, if I knew what the FC14 apache 2.2.17 was compiled with. There is an httpd-devel-2.2.17-1 package. But the description makes it sound like it is for developing additional modules. I want to recompile the main httpd-2.2.17-1 package. Does anyone know if this is a possibility?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed Ubuntu as a dual-boot system with Windows XP very carefully. Unfortunately, though given the option to boot Windows at the grub menu, when I select it, I get an error. Booting Ubuntu on my other partition works just fine, no issues.
I also attempted to access files from the first partition in Ubuntu using gparted, but once I mounted it, all of my files were not present. I only saw manufacturer files, and many files and folders I didn't recognize.
Also, as an aside, my laptop monitor is suffering from occasional black-outs during use. Ubuntu gave me a little toolbar flag, telling me to go to a website and use the patches given to fix it, but I'm not quite so sure where to input the given patch text. Do I really need to go through the trouble of finding the source code, etc., or is it more simple?
I know that there is a nice little launcher that will run the script for Grub to select a menu option upon shutdown for a reboot [URL]

I'm running an Acer 1810Tz, dual boot with win7.Under 9.10 and Grub I had no boot issues, however I have just completed the upgrade to 10.04 and upgraded GRUB to GRUB2.Everything boots just fine into Ubuntu, and my GRUB menu looks right, but when I select the Windows 7 option, the machine just hangs with a black screen, white cursor top left. I'm sure this is a trivial problem, something overwritten that shouldn't have been perhaps, but I have no clue where to start.

The last Windows OS I use is XP to run work software. Now my father-in-law Paul, has asked me if I knew what's with the printer drivers on W7. I was surprised by not knowing, for everything else I use Ubuntu. So here's the question when trying to print Paul gets a popup that says he must right click and select "run as administrator" but when he right clicks the option isn't available. I'm going over there tonight so does anybody know what Microsoft has worked out to make their OS safe and what I should do about getting his printer printing?

I'm guessing I need to edit something in /etc/init.d but not sure what. I checked System->Preferences->Startup Applications and the ssh server daemon isn't listed there. And since it is a command line option /etc/ssh/sshd_config is of no help.
