View 5 RepliesI could use some help running fsck. My SDA1 appears to be having issues. I cant get my netbook to load.
I popped in a USB drive with Ubuntu on it so I could try to run fsck on it, but I ran into an issue.
According to Ubuntu, this drive is using the "ext3/ext4" file system. I read an online guide for using fsck and it mentioned that I must designate what file system I am running or it will default to ext2 and corrupt my files. So what command should I run so that fsck knows that I have the ext3/ext4 file system?
Also, could someone check to see if the commands I am running are correct (these are starting from the terminal from the USB drive)?
# init 1
# umount /dev/sda1
# fsck.ext3 /dev/sda1
The third command is where I am confused as to what I should type.
I burned a copy of the netbook 10.10 edition to a CD and tried to run it on my Acer Extensa 14" laptop to see the new interface. After loading files and about to load the interface nothing happened. I was left with the background and nothing else. What could be the problem? Can't you run it live from a CD as well as USB stick?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm running Fedora 15 with Gnome 3. I installed Gnome-Do using 'yum install gnome-do'. I opened it from the Terminal by typing 'gnome-do' but I keep getting an error message that says
Could not load desktop item: libgnome-desktop-2.so.17
Gnome-Do opens but it doesn't display any application I search for and when I try opening the Gnome-Do preferences, it quits.
I installed gnome-desktop-2.32.0-8.fc16.i686.rpm from here: [url] and then installed Gnome-Do. Everything works fine now.
what the actual differences are between the different versions?Is it simply in the interface or does netbook have different services running by default, different hardware detection or anything else that makes the system run any differently? I know netbook doesn't have compiz installed by default but is the rest of the package set the same? I ask because I have been having various problems with boot and audio along with a few other niggles. I was running the desktop edition through the betas and the RC with no problems at all but I installed lucid final from a netbook edition iso and have done two more fresh installs from netbook iso and seem to be having a lot more issues.

I've got a computer running 10.04 LTS desktop and I was wondering if there is a way to convert it to the netbook remix os.
View 2 Replies View RelatedBasically in the files and folders section on the netbook edition desktop i would like to add another folder (my dropbox folder)
I think i read somewhere that you had to bookmark it or something but i dont know how to do that.
I suppose its the same as adding a folder to the files and folder menu on any normal distribution of ubuntu.
I love the theme that the Netbook remix 10.04 LTS has, but I jumped the gun installed desktop onto my laptop (not a atom based laptop). It works no problem.Is there anyway I can get Netbook remix theme loaded into 10.04 LTS desktop that is default with netbook 10.04 LTS? Searched the gnome sites for theme, background, art, etc, nothing.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just bought an Asus EeePC 1201PN and am planning on installing Ubuntu on it. I prefer the traditional desktop interface and thus would like to install it. I have read accounts of people having no problems with it on the 1201N and am assuming it will be the same for my netbook.My question is is there really any difference if I install the Netbook Remix Edition then get the Desktop-Switcher and change it to the traditional interface? I heard that the NRE doesn't use Nautilus. If I install NRE then use the Desktop-Switcher will I be able to use Nautilus or will it still be the NRE with everything else to "optimize" the netbook's performance?
Would it be possible to install the Desktop Edition then get repositories for things that will help my netbook perform better?
Dell Latitude XT
N-Trig touch screen
ATI x1250 Video Card
Ubuntu 10.10
If I install the Netbook packages (either with the Netbook CD or by installing them into a Desktop installation), I just get garbage on the screen that is unusable.
A picture says it all:
Any ideas to get the Netbook edition working?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to install Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.10 on my Acer Aspire One A0751h, but when I boot from my USB drive (I have multiboot ISO) I only get Ubuntu Desktop 10.10.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am making the switch to Linux and I really love Ubuntu. My DVD player isn't working, so I'm using my flash drive. It was too small for the desktop installer, so I used the netbook. I'm installing it as I type this (having the browser thats available for browsing while installing is awesome!)
Is there a way to upgrade to move to the desktop version after I finish? Also, what's the difference between the two. Links are fine. I tried google, but my google-fu must not be too strong today.
I have netbook 10.10 installed on a Acer Aspire One on part of the disk and Windows 7 on another part. (There is no information worth saving in the 10.10 "home" file.)
Can I just install Ubuntu 10.04 as if I were doing it for the first time (as I did with netbook 10.10)? Will 10.04 simply replace 10.10?
I'm having some serious issues using Synergy between my desktop and my netbook. Both are running Ubuntu 11.04.
I installed quicksynergy from the software center and everything started ok. I wanted my desktop to be the server, I opened quick synergy and put in the IP address of my netbook, which I got from connection infromation>IP address, then hit execute and close. Next on the netbook, I opened quick synergy put in my desktop's IP address (acquired from the same location) in the "Server hostname/IP address:" box and my netbook's name in the "Screen name:" box. I hit execute and close.
Now when I move my cursor from the right side of my desktop's screen where it should move over to the netbook, the cursor jumps to the middle of the screen on the desktop and does nothing to the netbook.
I have been trying to convert my standard 9.10 desktop installation into the Netbook Remix version.I assumed that all I had to do was add �Netbook Remix Launcher� from synaptic and set it run at startupAccording to the Wiki these are the packages that constitute the UNR:Desktop Switcher - Allows the user to switch between two desktop modes. Currently supports switching between Ubuntu Netbook Remix mode and "Classic Ubuntu" (two panels, gnome-like) mode.
Go Home Applet - A gnome-panel applet that, when clicked upon, displays the desktop. Used in a netbook-based desktop, the desktop-window will normally be the launcher. Go Home Applet also works in conjunction with the netbook-remix-launcher whereby dragging and dropping a file/url/application to the go-home-applet will automatically add it to the launcher's favorites section. Human Netbook Theme - A gtk theme for use with Ubuntu Netbook Remix Maximus - A desktop daemon which will automatically maximise and, optionally, un-decorate windows. Has support for exclusion lists and will work with any EWMH-spec compliant window-manager.
Ubuntu Netbook Remix Launcher - An easy-to-useprogram/places/favourites launcher which resides on the desktop, replacing the main-menu. indow Picker Applet - A gnome-panel applet that displays open windows as icons on the panel, and has integrated window title-bar functionality. Optimised for use on netbook-size screensNone of them seem like dependencies for the Ubuntu Netbook Remix Launcher itself, so I cant understand why it isnt working. Ive turned of compiz and disabled AWN.
I am running Lucid Lynx, Desktop Edition on an asus eee 1005ha netbook. i've noticed a strange issue. there are two accounts i've setup, one admin and one normal user. when i click on logout and login as admin and then boot into the admin desktop and then click on logout again, i get a blank screen and nothing happens. i have to remove the battery and restart the system to get it running again.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen i run the KDE 4.6.1 netbook plasma desktop, there's a icon in the right upper corner telling how many applications i've running. When I click it, the desktop zooms out and shows me the applications in a graphical way, wich is pretty nice....but...then i can not select an application to switch to and have to wait a certain time out to go back to the running program i had in the foreground allready.
When i change the settings of this icon to show it always in a menu, it does work allright (but is less nice)..

or
b) change to the standard desktop?
