I'm looking to try out Natty with a liveUSB stick, but I've and internet access problem. I've only wireless internet access (Mifi dongle) and my laptop has a broadcom wireless adapter (BC4312) which needs a proprietary driver.
I was wondering if there was any way of adding the wifi drivers to liveUSB stick after I've created it using the startup disk creator in my maverick install?
My laptop has recently started to become a bit unreliable, and for some reason I started to suspect that my HDD was starting to fail. After a bit of hunting on the internet, I found Ubuntu's Disk Utility in the System menu and ran the long SMART diagnostics from this.
However, since the documentation for Disk Utility is very poor (palimpsest?), I'm not sure how to interpret the results:
For example, the Read Error Rate is over 50 million (!), yet the Assessment is rated "Good".
So would someone mind explaining to me how to interpret the results of these tests (especially the Normalized, Worst, Threshold and Value numbers)? And maybe tell me what they think of the results I got for my HDD? (Thanks)
Has anyone seen problems with git-svn not installing properly from synaptic in 10.04? Anyone know how to fix this?
Do you know of any URLs for PPAs of Google's Go Language?
After upgrading my laptop from karmic to lucid, my fat32 partition won't mount automatically. I get the message:
The disk drive for /osshare is not ready yet or not present
Continue to wait; or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery
Funny thing is, if I skip, then /osshare/ is mounted once I log in.
I've a similar setup on my desktop, and it works fine. Fstab on desktop:
UUID=4663-6853 /osshare vfat utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
/etc/fstab on laptop:
UUID=1234-5678 /osshare vfat utf8,auto,rw,user 0 0
