Ubuntu :: Break-through And Install Windows XP?
Jul 28, 2011
I have probably ranted so much about not being able to remove Ubuntu, how-ever I believe I have found a break-through, allowing me to once again install Windows XP onto my laptop.I was looking through the Microsoft/Windows website for something relating to XP, and I stumbled upon this bad-boy...Apparently it's an .iso for Windows XP! So I read over it and without hesitation, I downloaded it...I was then referred to something that was actually installed with Ubuntu called'Start-Up Disk Creator', which allows me to make an .iso bootable from a pen-drive...
So, because I recently re-installed Ubuntu (It broke after trying to install a game..) via Pen-Drive, I used the Universal USB Creator on the Ubuntu Website and it is quite similar to this..I will keep posted on my possible break-through on removing Ubuntu

The libxml2 update specified by CVE-2010-4494 causes a notification that it will break Adobe AIR and TweetDeck on my machine.How can I blacklist this update so it won't keep showing up in the Updater applet?The applet says I should go into Yast and manually apply the update. When I do that and tell it not to apply the update, Yast exits and the Updater applet just tells me the update is still pending. I want to get rid of the update at least temporarily until Adobe fixes the dependency (assuming they ever do).
This is a major problem for me as I clearly don't intend to uninstall TweetDeck and AIR just for some security patch. Why didn't openSUSE test this patch for AIR compatibility?

So I have this emerald theme I wanted to install on my Ubuntu 10.4 gnome installation that has compiz. I didn't know how to do this so i looked at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=495997 to understand how to do this and when did the steps which you will see her shortly, I got some errors and my windows broke to the point you can move them, close them and all you see is the menu bar and then the rest of the window down.
Code:
adam@adam-laptop:~$ sudo -i
[sudo] password for adam:
root@adam-laptop:~# compiz --replace -c emerald &
[1] 7435
root@adam-laptop:~# compiz (core) - Warn: Unknown option '-c'

I saw an interesting distro on Distrowatch, but the *.iso file needed a DVD rather than a CD. The target computer does not have a DVD player, and doesn't warrant spending any money on it. Is there a way to break the iso into CD lengths so I can install it? Or some other trick to get it going?

Im running ubuntu 10.10 with the default gnome. I have dual 23" LED monitors and I would like to take more advantage of my width by breaking up my screens into multiple custom size zones/grids. Basically so I can maximize a window and it only takes up that custom sized "grid zone". I remember there being a windows app to do this easily, but I havent found anything for gnome. Any recommendations? I dont think compiz grids has much flexibility into the sizes/locations of the "zones".

So a few weeks ago, I was running Ubuntu/Windows7 Dual Boot, and I installed the proprietary FGLRX ATI graphics card driver. This rendered my Ubuntu system command-line only, and I had to install all over again. If I install FGLRX now, will this happen again or has the bug been fixed? If it does happen again, is there any way to revert to the open-source ATI driver from the command line?

Is there a way to break wubi out of its box? As in, resizing /dev/sdX and moving the current partition data onto there? Or would I have to do a fresh-install, and then copy over the post install data? The reason I'm asking is because, The desktop Wubi is currently running on, has migrated into a router(has some epic umph), and its reached its 30GB limit, and I also have the hard drive space to support it now.
System Specs:
AMD Phenom II 1090T @ 3.7Ghz(6 cores)
16GB DDR3 1600Mhz
2x AMD Radeon HD 6850s.
+2 NICs forgot brand :/
Off Topic but slightly relevant: Nic 1 = Server Switch, Nic 2 = Non-Server Switch.
Onboard NIC: Modem.
-facepalm- didn't look hard enough. [URL]

Do you know a tool that forces me to do a typing break like the one in GNOME's keyboard preferences? I did some search on the net but I only found references to GNOME's typing break tool.

I'm buying this unit from deal extreme: it's a bitorrent downloader, with NAS capability. I'm interested in sharing an external HD in it, with media and backup purposes. I'm afraid of energy problems (don't know if this is the correct term), corrupting my mounted drives (like after a storm), so I thought about buying an UPS that sends a "signal" to my Linux box, and a script in my Linux box would unmout everything to avoid problems.Do this "UPS signal" feature exists? Do you have model suggestions?

I set up a LAMP server using tasksel and it works great, but I'm not sure about much of the specifics of it. It just works and I have not had a need to find out much about it. So I was wondering if installing updates through the update manager could possible break my LAMP server and if so what types of updates should I look for that could break it?

Ubuntu has been great and it is a great Linux distro. Unfortunately, the update of 9.10 desktop edition to release 10.4 failed on a couple of fronts.
1) Xserver is no longer working;
2) An upgrade of grub-pc causes an exception.
The system ran perfectly before the update was performed. The update resulted in Attempting to install GRUB to a partition instead of MBR. This is a BAD idea. usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and is use is discouraged.
Based on information found at [URL]... an attempt was made to execute the following command. sudo aptitude dist-upgrade But that resulted in E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run sudo dpkg configure ato correct the problem The later launches an upgrade of grub-pc. This routine requests the selection of which devices are to be used to store grub-install. When that was done ... GRUB failed to install to the followed devices: /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd4
Do you want to continue anyway? If you do, your computer may not start up properly. GRUB installation failed. Continue? Questions:
1) Can / should the upgrade of grub-pc be bypassed in order to get the system running?
2) If not, what values should be selected when selecting the devices to store grub-install?
3)Because the computer is a RAID configuration, would someone advise are there special considerations which should be considered?
4) Once grub-pc is resolved or bypassed, should the commands found in the aforementioned article be used to repair xserver.
5) Are there additional measures which will be needed to in order to complete the update to release 10.4?
Here are some helpful details on the system configuration
The computer has four disk drives using RAID 1 and RAID 5.In the following configuration RAID5 Device #0 750.2 GB Sotfware RAID device
#1 750.2 GB ext4
SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) 320.1 GB ATA WDC WD3200AAKS-2
#4 primary 250.1 GB K raid
#3 primary 16.0 GB F swap

I want to install SSMTP to (hopefully!) simplify sending MDADM notifications via Gmail. On issuing the command...
Code:
sudo apt-get install ssmtp
I'm informed that...
Code:
The following packages will be removed:
postfix
The following NEW packages will be installed:
ssmtp
However, I believe that MySQL (which I need for my Squeezebox) depends on Postfix. So can I install SSMTP without removing Postfix? Will removing Postfix actually break MySQL? BTW, this is on Ubuntu Server 10.10 64 bit

I have used Thoggen; however, there is no way to break the output in to multiple files. I encoded at 1000MB, but now I want to break the file into 40MB chunks. Is there an app that can do this? Does ffmpeg support these feature?

breaking a software RAID 1 disk array so I can remove one of the drives permanently. I've found a couple suggestions to make the drive 'forget' that it is a RAID drive by "zeroing out their md superblocks", but I don't know enough about superblocks to know if this is destructive or not. I used this guide to create my RAID-1 and it is working fine. This is my current setup:
Code:
$ cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10]
md0 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda1[0]
149864384 blocks [2/2] [UU]

I've recently setup LAMP on my VPS.I believe I may have broken the PHP configuration somehow, not 100% sure exactly how, but I'm getting internal server errors upon loading .php files.
*Edit* phpmyadmin still runs fine so maybe there's an error in my Apache configuration or my VirtualHosts?

Sometimes I type 'sudo su - user' in linux and then realise I'm typing it from an application account rather than a user account. I want to ctrl+c to abort the password entry. When I do this, it always freezes for a couple of seconds before it aborts the process and returns me to the shell.

I have some variables that are loaded from mysql - in mysql, the line breaks are not indicated by ' or '<br>' or anything -they are just line breaks. the variable is loaded into javascript and then inserted into a <pre> element. the line breaks are not showing up.
pre1 = pre1.replace(/>/g,">"); - this works well, naturally. but how do i get those line breaks to show up as line breaks in a browser?

If I install a totally different Linux distro on my existing Ubuntu 9.10 system, will it break GRUB 2? I was thinking of installing Debian Lenny, but have held off because I do not want to inadvertently wreck the boot arrangement.
I've previously installed Windows after installing Kubuntu, and had to reinstall GRUB as the bootloader as a result. It wasn't a big deal with the old GRUB, but I don't know if it's that easy with GRUB 2.
I am not sure what bootloader Debian Lenny uses. I've been looking but haven't found the answer yet. I guess if it also uses Grub 2, I wouldn't have to fix anything.
I want to try out Lenny because an app I want to use (Teamspeak 3) doesn't play nicely with Pulseaudio. Pulseaudio is integral to Ubuntu 9.10, but I have other options with Debian Lenny. I'd like to see whether the app works better there w/LXDE.
I guess I could also just make a virtual Lenny machine in Virtualbox, but I wouldn't get full use of my hardware, so I wouldn't be able to play Urban Terror (which is why I want to use Teamspeak 3).

I attempted to install restricted drivers using jockey-gtk, was told to reboot and drivers would take effect. Rebooted and got no graphics, after some finagling I was able to delete xorg.conf and I now have horrific looking graphics. Defaulted to current version or 195 (which is also the only option I see in the jockey tool, however in synaptic/apt I see I can install other versions.

I noticed a very very high cpu usage on my webserver. All four CPUs were running on 100%.
Top shows several perl processes from apache that run for a long time, with a high %CPU.
Since the server was fc10, I did a fresh installation to fc13, and the fresh installation didn't have this issue. Then I loaded back all the user-data, and it started again.
Several, 4, 6, 8, ... 100 perl processes from apache.
lsof -p with the pid of such a process
Code:
The estabilished connection is sometimes "proud2pirate.com" wich is a non-existing domain.
