My Ubuntu is stuck in a login loop when trying to enter my desktop. When I login, the screen gets black and soon after that the login screen comes back.
I've read that the problem might be caused by an error depending on the graphics, here's my graphics card: ATI Radeon 7670M
As the title says, I would like to know the difference between a hard link and a soft link created by the command ln. The command man ln does provide information, but does not sufficiently answer my question.
Also, it would be nice if someone could provide a setting where hard link might be preferable over a symbolic link.
I've seen animated GIF images of screen casts (like the one below) promoted a few times on this site as a way to improve answers.
What toolchain is being used to create these? Is there a program that does this automagically, or are people taking screencasts, converting them into a series of static frames, and then creating the GIF images?
A SSH private key as generated by ssh-keygen contains a public key part. How do I retrieve this public key from the private key? I've lost my public key and need to put the contents of this public key in the servers authorized_keys file and do not want to create a new key pair.
Alternatively phrased: how do I create the id_rsa.pub file from a id_rsa file?
I downloaded and installed Ubuntu from the official site. However, I don't know if I installed the 32-bit or 64-bit version.
In Windows 7 I could right click My Computer and it listed which version it was.
Is there an easy way to check in Ubuntu?
