Feb 19, 2011The hard drive that I used with Slackware64 has died, so it's time to reinstall and start from scratch.I have been using Slackware64 for over a year now and I enjoyed it...but now with a fresh start, I'm thinking about either going to Slackware64 -Current or going to the 32 bit version.Things I wanted in Slackware64, but couldn't get, were WINE, Skype and VirtualBox. I could have gotten those if I went "MultiLib" but I didn't want to do that, I wanted a pure 64 bit system.If you had to redo your system again, would you stick with your current O/S or would you change it up.

Dec 21, 2010I've kinda gone hopelessly lost on my mail server install and now want to start from scratch, after having wasted 4 days on this.Basically I have a 95% working postfix installation, a probably 100% working dovecot installation, but am not happy with it as a few things aren't working properly, and I don't know what I did!mail to /var/mail/richard NOT /Maildir - being the main oneBut, also the fact that I don't know where I went wrong, and want to understand why everything is now haywire. I am not certain if my security is working on the mail or the logins either.e to achieve is thefollowing:PostfixDovecotVirtual Users - using IMAP with Security, allowed to send mail from their clientVirtual DomainsPostfix AdminWebmail (Roundmail)Anti-Virus and Spam-filteringI started with this guide How to set up a mail server on a GNU / Linux system), which seems very, very good I might add, but it is for Courier, and when I bumbled along with the Dovecot equivalent ... that is where things broke.

Jun 15, 2011I have internet access and a semi-working Ubuntu install via command line / SSH. XBMC has been running fine until I did an update, then the xorg.conf got ##$@ed and I've spent the last 4 hours googling and trying to fix it. I'd love to just reinstall, but I don't have a blank CD or a USB Drive to use. Is there anyways I can just erase everything and start from scratch? AFAIK it's not possible to run the Ubuntu Minimal install from anywhere but a CD-ROM or USB Stick.This PC also has access to a Windows directory so I guess I could use WUBI, but would like to avoid that if possible.

Mar 1, 2011I've been using Ubuntu for quite a while, several years, though several upgrades. Experimented with various things, uninstalled some and various other messy activities. Some things don't work as well as they used to. Sometimes my system crashes, or hangs for a while before coming back. I still get a KDE screen when I shut down, though I attempted to uninstal that desktop. I would like to start over, that is with as little trouble possible to reinstall from scratch. Have to save my user directories, also the directories for my LAMP applications.

Nov 9, 2010I want to reload windows xp + Ubuntu from scratch, I have no experience with dual-boot installation soNow we start with a blank 250GB harddrive in my Samsung N310 netbook, and then,Plan 1: partition the whole 250GB harddrive into 2 logical disk, namely drive c: and d:, both of them are NTFS, and then format them ==> install windows xp to Drive C: ==> boot from USB drive and run Ubuntu USB installer, and let the installer do its partition for Linux's EXT3Plan2:partition the whole 250GB harddrive into 3 logical disk, namely drive c:, d: and e:, with drive c: and d: being NTFS while drive e: being EXT3 ==> install windows xp to Drive c: ==> install Ubuntu directly to drive E:
The bottom line here is that 1) there must be 2 logical drives (both are NTFS) for windows xp; 2) I want a EXT3 partition where Ubuntu resides. Can any expert kindly advise me which plan mentioned above is more viable or feasible?
Ubuntu :: Setting Up A Dual Boot From Scratch?

Jun 18, 2010I was wondering if anyone could provide resources on creating and installing keyboard layouts from scratch. I am a conlanger(I create languages), and I need to be able to map certain unicode characters to certain keys. I could do this via creating a font, however, It would be easier if I could just switch between layouts which is easier than switching between fonts. Especially, when I am using more than one program at once. I'm sorry because I have never used the Ubuntu forums before and I probably posted this in the wrong forum.

Ubuntu Installation :: Install From Scratch / Package - Grub Failed
Aug 20, 2010i tried my first linux installation with Fedora distro. using the live 64 usb boot version, everyhing looked fine. BUT i had issues with WINE so by recommendation, i went with Ubuntu and flushed Fedora. So, technicaly, the install works fine, during the process of installing from the live usb 64 bit 10.4 ubuntu. BUT at the end, when installing GRUB, it just simply failed! thats's a shame for me what i can tell you is the following. (thats what i think is my problem, but i need some expert help tho!)
my motherboard is a ASUS, im using 3 HDD 500GB sata2 drive, configured as a RAID in the bios, strip 0. so it presents to the OS one partition of 1.5 TB. Fedora detected it correctly, and was able to install grub on that now, during the Ubuntu install, i can chose to pick up a partition that was not used on my 1.5 TB ( i reduced my partition to 1TB and allowed 500GB to linux). Windows 7 reside on the first partition. on this disk, partition 1 is a 100MB windows bootmanager. partition 2 is windows 7 itself 1TB.
during the install of ubunto, i tell him to create a / partition, using 480GB as the third partition, and i created a 4th partition as a swap for linux. the install process the information, install the DATA on the third partition... BUT grub, can't !!! it failed... it keep looking for a /dev/sda disk... when installing GRUB, i can chose the drop down, for the 1.5TB disk, and when i press OK, he just simply try again to access /dev/sda disk... which is full of course and within a BIOS raid..........
