Hi all,
I get a cpgz file when trying to extract the contents of a file created on an ubuntu system.
Tried with 7zip, rar, zip, tar, nothing works... I really need to get this to work, so if somebody had a lead or a solution, that would be great !
I am having problems with the refresh rate if the screen .
In the the refresh mode of the monitor in the monitor options have only one option 60Hz.
I have LG 24 + ATI Radon 3870, and have already installed the ATI driver via Ubuntu download center.
Any idea how I solve that one?
Thanks.
hey all, I'm trying to create a local user on a new ubuntu box my admin set up. I'm unable to change the password, I keep getting the error below. The user gets added to the shadow file but I can't get it to set a password. Any ideas? I've googled for over an hour :(
thanks!
admin@theserver:~$ sudo useradd jamz
[sudo] password for admin:
admin@theserver:~$ sudo passwd jamz
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
passwd: password unchanged
admin@theserver:~$
I noticed that the username I used to install Ubuntu got added to a bunch of groups in the /etc/group file. I'm getting rid of unneeded accounts. Would anything break if I removed that first account?
Hello,
I've just installed ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop its all great but the screen resolution is a bit crap i have it set 1200:800 and when i do xrandr it indicates that the i can have a bigger screen resolution but i dont seem to to be able to increase it more 1200:800.
another interesting thing is that xorg.conf does not exist on the /etc/X11/

I am using a BlueProton USB wireless network adapter and an Ubuntu 9.10 machine and the machine says that it is connected to the internet but it won't see other machines/devices on the local network and only a few websites work.
Is it possible to dual boot between Ubuntu and W7.vhd? If anyone knows please tell me how.
if you can answer to [email protected] would be perfect. Thanks
I created a partition on USB harddisk in windows and it reports to be an NTFS partition.
Yet in ubuntu 9.10 fdisk says it a FAT16 partition. If I mount with -t ntfs I see nothing, but if I mount without it I see all the files.
Can anyone tell me whats going on here?
Windows computer disk management definately says its NTFS, and a quick look at the raw data suggests it is NTFS, as I know the FAT16 very well.
I installed Ubuntu on my external hard drive but it won't boot on my laptop. It works fine on my desktop but not my laptop. It says it can't find root... what do i do?
i have ubuntu 10.10 x86_64 with nvidia 9800 gt and nvidia driver version 270.41.06
my video card has two DVI sockets, but i only use single monitor configuration. Now, i think the main DVI socket might be busted, so i want to try to enable the other as the main one, however, i don't know how to achieve that. I tried just plugging the monitor in that socket but it won't just auto-detect (it would have been way too easy to just work)
I saw the intel-microcode in the ubuntu repositories and was wondering if it was worth installing on my Yorkfield-6M based system. If so, what are the benefits from this package?
I'm using Firefox 3.5.9 in Ubuntu 9.10. The "Clear recent history" menu item on the Tools menu is greyed out. I tried launching Firefox using sudo from the command line, but no luck. What gives?
I was using my LCD monitor with my laptop properly with Windows 7. But I am facing a problem in Ubuntu.
It connects in a proper way but on pressing backspace it automatically moves back to my laptop screen. Sometimes pressing any key moves back to my laptop screen.
How can I fix this behavior?
My laptop harddrive has developed some serious read errors in the windows partition. Windows 7 still boots but every single action takes an aeon, and it is definitely due to a harddisk error not due to any spyware. I'm using the Ubuntu partition now. I've ordered a new harddrive but my laptop didn't come with a Windows 7 install disk (I think I was meant to make one with the windows 7 tools).
So how can I install Windows 7 on my new harddrive?
I'm currently running Windows XP, but have ordered Windows 7. I want to keep Windows XP on a separate partition, and install Ubuntu as well.
In which order should I install the OSs, and is there anything differing from an ordinary single-system install I should keep in mind? For example, does the order of partition make any difference? If I want to have the system drive as "C:" drive in both Win XP and Win 7, what should I do?
What is the standard/correct way to re-install grub2?
I am using liveusb right now and i am unable to boot into Ubuntu on my hard drive.
Partitions are as follows:
/dev/sda1 1 3917 31463271 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 3918 10444 52428127+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3 10445 15671 41985877+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda4 15672 19457 30411045 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 * 15672 17711 16386268+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 17712 19457 14024713+ 83 Linux
Pleas help.
thanks
I need to have two instances of Tomcat 6 running on Ubuntu 10.04. I know it should be doable pretty simply by something like:
copy /var/lib/tomcat6 to /var/lib/tomcat6-2
modify ports in /var/lib/tomcat6-2/conf/server.xml
copy /etc/init.d/tomcat6 to /etc/init.d/tomcat6-2
modify /etc/init.d/tomcat6-2...
...but my problem is that I'm unsure what I should modify in /etc/init.d/tomcat6-2. Chaging the NAME in the beginning of the file clearly is not enough.
I've just made a fresh installation of Ubuntu 10.04 on my Dell Inspiron 1420. Without updates, I'm not able to play media files. Is there any procedure to install updates via offline as I don't have a internet connection at home.
Thanku.
My only issue that is stopping me from moving to Linux is the dual monitor support. If I use TwinView, maximizing an application causes it to take over both monitors, not maximize in the current monitor the way it works in Windows. If I use two separate X windows, certain programs default to a specific monitor with no way of moving it to the other desktop. Has anyone else had these issues? Are there any detailed dual monitor resources.for Linux/Ubuntu I can read?

Normally when I read a book I use a bookmark held horizontally under the current line I'm reading to help me keep my eyes on the right spot. When I read a PDF or other document on my computer I would like to be able to do the same thing, only with a line on the screen controlled by the up and down arrow keys. Any suggestions for an application which would do this? I'm a Ubuntu Linux user.
