I have just installed subversion and the repository is hosted on Assembla.

Normally when I use windows I just use tortoisesvn and it prompts me for a username and password.

When I try to checkout from the terminal I don't know how to manually specify the username and password and it just freezes when I try to checkout without them (can't ctrl-C the hell outa there).

Here is what I am trying:

svn co https://subversion.assembla.com/svn/comcal/trunk

When I was trying to copy the command line just then I got this:

svn: Server sent unexpected return value (502 Proxy Error) in response to OPTIONS request for 'https://subversion.assembla.com/svn/comcal/trunk'

I am attempting to set up the LAMP environment for the first time. I normally use Windows and just install XAMPP.

I have followed the instructions on Ubuntu forums and have duplicated the file in sites-available.

Currently I can access my site via localhost, but not via either the ServerName or ServerAlias directive.

Here is the file in sites-avialable:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName www.example.com
    ServerAlias www.example.com
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

    DirectoryIndex index.php
    DocumentRoot /home/username/example
    <Directory /home/username/example>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

    # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
    # alert, emerg.
    LogLevel warn

    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
    ServerSignature On
</VirtualHost>

What is the best quality Apple IIGS emulator for Ubuntu that is relatively easy to install?

I've just started using Ubuntu (10.10) so I have a reasonably fresh install.

Regardless of if I use the Firefox 4 latest beta or 3.6.13. Google image search is dead slow and sometimes intermittently freezes.

It's exceptionally slow compared to the same versions of Firefox when I was using Windows.

As an aside Microsoft's Bing doesn't freeze.

I previously had Heron 8.04 installed. Today I decided to upgrade.

During the partition phase of the install of 10.10 it asked me what portion of the drive I should use. There were a few options:

  • Drag the partition size to indicate what I wanted to use
  • A button that said use entire partition
  • A button that said use entire drive

I selected use entire partition as the Windows partition did not appear on the screen I assumed this was just displaying the existing Ubuntu partition.

After install I think I have wiped my entire Windows partition, I can't see it anywhere.

I would appreciate some advice as to find if it really is gone forever (My stupidity I didn't back up my Windows partition which includes 3 years of baby photos).

UPDATE: Thanks all for your great answers. I read on a forum last night about Active Partition Recovery. I didn't realise it was a commercial product, so the demo doesn't let you recover, but it did allow me to see that the whole partition still exists somewhere on the drive. It even let me see the individual files.

As suggested I have stopped doing anything with the drive until I can give Testdisk a try. If this works I will confirm it in a separate answer for future reference.

I have downloaded the Ubuntu 10.10 ISO file and am trying to burn it to a blank disc so that I can install it, using Ubuntu 8.04. I have a dual boot system with Windows and Ubuntu.

Here's my experience so far:

  1. Boot up my current install of Hardy Heron
  2. Go to install updates. Click on Check and informed that 8.10 is available. Firstly install any other updates.
  3. Click on Upgrage, get error 'Could not find release notes'
  4. Manually download entire 10.10 image from the internet
  5. Attempt to burn to disc using Brasero.
  6. Burn fails
  7. Can no longer mount any discs
  8. Restart
  9. Can no longer mount any blank discs, but can mount audio discs
  10. Restart, now I can mount blank disks
  11. Right click on .iso image and choose "Open with CD/DVD creator"
  12. Attempt to burn image to disk
  13. Wait 20 minutes while disc is apparently burning, for some reason when it is finished it is still blank
  14. Attempt to burn again with Brasero, burn completes. Asks me to reenter disk for checksum. Checksum check freezes after 10 minutes. I attempt to eject disk and it tells me 100% success.
  15. After restarting from newly burned CD it shows me a screen with Ubuntu and 5 dots, it stays like that for 10 minutes and then eventually I get an error cannot mount disk.
