Ubuntu :: Switch From Windows 7 (32-bit) To 10.10 (32-bit)
Feb 19, 2011
I want to switch from Windows 7 (32-bit) to Ubuntu 10.10 (32-bit), but I can't install it on my PC for some reason. I've tried burning the .iso onto 2 or 3 different DVD+ROM discs now, I keep getting the following message when I try to install it.
Message:
BusyBox v1.15.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.15.3-1ubuntu5) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
(initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Input/output error
Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs
Edit: I got it to work, I'm not sure if this actually made any difference, but I formatted my hard drive using my Windows 7 installation DVD before trying to install Ubuntu 10.10. But it worked fine after that and I'm now running it on my PC without any problems (at the moment).

I am using Wine to play Sim City 2k, and the game doesn't show up in the taskbar. Conky shows that SimCity.exe and winserver are both running, but I can't get to them. How can I use the Terminal to swap windows?
EDIT: Oh, great. I think a fire just broke out. I can hear the sirens, but I can't stop them! Crap!
EDIT2: You know, listening to these sirens really sucks. I had my city up to 130,000 people. I was just saving up enough money to buy an arcology when I tried to move SimCity to Desktop #2. Wine was not happy with this decision. My city is probably burned to the ground by now.
EDIT3: Ok, I just realised that I can stop the process from the System Monitor. Too little, too late I imagine. Oh well, I can probably rebuild it if I could just get to the window...

I installed Ubuntu 10.10 over Windows 7, getting rid of Win7. I have decided that I want to switch back to Windows 7, because of more compatibility. Windows 7 came pre-installed on my laptop. Is there any way I can recover it? I did a full install of Ubuntu 10.10.

I have my current computer set up with 2 HDDs in it. A 500GB with GRUB and Windows 7 on it and a 160GB HDD with Ubuntu on it.
I would like to someone replace Windows 7 with Ubuntu on the 500GB drive, but I'm not sure how I would be able to do this and still keep GRUB and such .
EDIT: I'd like to do this without re-installing anything.

I somehow managed to screw up my 'switch between windows shortcut' when changing the settings for compiz. Now I cannot get it to work at all, despite trying to solutions on this and other forums. I removed compiz with the software center and my alt-tab shortcut still didn't work--although it IS enabled and set correctly in the System Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts menu. I reset the alt-tab combo so something else (alt-space, which works for its normal setting of bringing down the window's dropdown menu) but it still did not work to switch between windows.

I recently bought an asus eee-PC 900HD set up by its previous owner to to boot to either ubuntu 10.10 or windows xp.how can I get rid of xp and install vista in its place? As a side-note; the eee-PC has no optical drive. It has USB ports and an SD card reader. Is it possible to install windows through one of these? I do have an old laptop optical drive I've been meaning to house in a USB enclosure. Is the cd/dvd route my only option?

I am switching to Ubuntu soon for security purposes. I have 3 hard drives, one with my OS, one with nothing, and one with all my junk. I was wondering if there is anyway that I can only reformat and install Ubuntu onto the drive with windows, reformat the empty drive, and then transfer files from my junk drive onto the empty drive, and then format the junk drive and move all of the files back onto the junk drive? Or is the junk drive accessible from Ubuntu and not worth trying to switch formats on?

I recently installed Ubuntu desktop, since I had been running my server as Ubuntu Server on a guest OS on Windows 7 and never really used the Windows part of the computer. Since then, I've been unable to use the mouse in a graphical environment for longer than a few minutes without it starting to act crazy. The mouse moves around normally, but won't respond to clicks (left, middle, or right) but the keyboard shortcuts still work. I'm not sure if things have changed since I last used Gnome though, but Alt+Tab is not working for me either when this happens. Sometimes, the active window is even behind another window, and isn't pulled to the foreground.
After a bit of frustrated clicking and jamming of buttons on the keyboard, sometimes the mouse kind of starts working because I'll notice a right click menu open. But, I am still unable to move windows or click on them to bring them to the foreground, and my mouse presses only work on the current window. And then, eventually, after about a minute or so, it'll stop respond again too.
I saw in one thread that someone had dead spaces where he couldn't click, so he installed and ran Gnome and that fixed it, but I tried using Ubuntu Classic and it is still giving me the same behavior. I'm actually posting this message now in links, because I can't use Firefox or Chrome well enough when it's hidden behind other windows.

When working in an XP VirtualBox I can't use Alt-Tab to switch to my Linux Apps as VirtualBox captures the keys for Windows. So I tended to make a lot of use on the Application list on the old System Tray/Taskbar. I could click on the application's entry in the taskbar and that application would come up. When I needed to return to the Windows App, I clicked again and the application would then minimise so I can see the Windows app. Also I have been using the SUPER button in conjunction with 'E' to raise the Home Directory (just to keep it consistent with Windows).

I thought it would be cool and easy to install Windows 7, ended up being a headache and worthless so far. Now I only have the windows bootloader with vista and windows 7 as options. How can I get grub going again? I have all 6 fedore core 10 cds and a live cd in case those will help, I am using the live cd to play in fedora right now, but I am not sure how to get access to grub.conf and what to change in it, because I am pretty sure I have to add Windows 7 to it.

I have a very basic problem: My computer is attached to various light switches, central heating, powered windows etc. via RS232 and USB, using homemade custom logic boards. With this I can switch on and off lights, regulate room temperature, open windows etc. all by running some shell scripts on my system. I would now like to create a simple web frontend for this home automation.
What I want is a basic website with buttons, and when someone clicks a button on that website I want the webserver (apache ? ) to execute a script on the the server machine, triggering the rs232 hardware. The website is to be served by apache to make use of an existing structure. How (in what language) could I accomplish that? Javascript and Java are obviously out since they execute on the client, as far as I know PHP can't access the shell (which is probably a good thing), so what's left?
CGI? This will be deployed on an isolated private network secured the old-fashioned way (steel doors, guard dogs, landmines...), so I am not overly concerned about security, but of course it would be nice if the implementation offered at least some basic resistance to bored script kiddies...

Can the fibre channel switch in the centOS5.3 cluster edition be switched for a regular router or hub?
If so how would one do this? If not why does the switch have to be fibre channel?

I wondered whether there is a way in Compiz (or some other way) of not just assigning particular applications to default workspaces, but also, when an application is opened, to switch to the designated workspace automatically.
(That is, "follow" the active application) So suppose: Firefox is assigned to workspace 2. I am currently in workspace 1, where I launch Firefox. Firefox opens in workspace 2, but I myself am still in workspace 1.What I wonder then is: Is there a way of following Firefox, so to speak? That is, in my example, that I switch automatically to workspace 2

I am using a Fling KVM switch (by Belkin), to connect 2 computers to my monitor One computer is running XP and the other is running Linux. My wireless switching mechanism has just gone the way of the saints but Belkin has supplied a software solution for this occurrence. There is a small app called Fling (surprising) that allows me to switch from the XP machine to the Linux machine but nothing to switch back to the XP. What I need to know is there a similar app for the Linux computer. (NB I have tried Synergy but have no idea how to set it up - I've been told that synergy might work).

Whenever I try to "Switch from [username]..." I get locked screen with the options to "Leave Message", "Switch User" or "Unlock".If I click to "Switch User" the password box just disappears (as if one tried to unlock with an incorrect password). The only thing I can do is unlock the screensaver and resume my login session.I can not seem to switch users.Does anyone know why "Switch User" is not working?

While rearranging my keyboard shortcuts in the control center, I noticed that in the Desktop Switching subcategory, there are "Switch to [Next/Previous/Left/Right] Desktop" and "Switch to Next Screen." What is the difference between switching to another desktop and switching to another screen?

Is anyone using a kvm switch without any problems? I've been dealing with this for 3 years now & still haven't solved it. I've got two different kvm switches & they both have the same problem. Ubuntu no matter what version will only work correctly on the first port. The two switches I have are a 2- port trend-net & a 4 port Alluratek, they both do just monitor,keyboard & ps2 mouse. The problem is only with the monitor. The resolution is stuck at 800/600 or else it only covers part of the screen. After messing with xorg forever in Hardy I finally got it working but upgrading to 10.04 I just give up. Windows never has a problem detecting my monitor with the kvm switches but Ubuntu does.

I have a HP Mini netbook. I wanted to switch to Ubuntu but the only CD I had on hand was an old Ubuntu 9.10 cd. so I used that, since I didn't have internet access at the time. Now I do, and I want to switch over to Netbook Remix, and then upgrade to 10.04. I do not have a Thumbstick on hand, and my external CD drive does not burn cds. am I totally screwed here? How can I get this done? what exactly are the differences between the full Ubuntu, and Netbook Remix. is Netbook Remix just the full Ubuntu with a different style Desktop Environment? or is it a completely different distro, with different programs and such?

Currently running a Windows XP computer and an Ubuntu computer through a new TRENDnet 2-computer USB KVM switch, a wireless laser mouse and a brand new GigaWare multimedia USB keyboard. A 20-inch picture tube.
I can switch between computers using the buttons on the switch, and I can use the universal hot-key command on the Windows side to switch to Linux, but the universal command won't work on my Linux computer. The universal command is two presses of the Scroll Lock key in succession.
In Windows, the Scroll Lock light comes on, on the first press and goes off on the second, as I switch computers. In Ubuntu, the scroll lock light never lights.
The Windows computer is a 2002 model HP, 2.6 GHz Pentium 4, while this computer is similar to the K7S5A mainboard, different manufacturer, 1 GHz Athlon processor.
Any programs, commands or anything I might use on Ubuntu to determine the status of the keyboard's scroll lock, or would that more likely be a bios issue?
Edit: TRENDnet TK-207K kvm model number.

I'm using a 64-bit machine, and naturally everything is based on the 64-bit. However I need to get the Juniper Network Connection running, which only works for 32-bit java. How should I download the 32-bit java so that it won't interfere with other application using 64-bit java, and set the PATH so that the 32-bit java is used when I use Juniper Network.

I have bought three different kvm switchs to connect a Win 7 and a Ubuntu 10.04 system (two different towers). After plugging in any of the KVM switchs the ubuntu system wont display correctly. It either blinks or is completely black.Because of this I researched this problem and decided to go with a manual switch. My question is if anyone has had experience with a manual switch and if adding an agp video card would hinder performance with a switch.
