I upgraded my laptop to the latest release of Ubuntu and now its not loading the normal way from the Grub menu. By normal I mean, picking the "Ubuntu" option from the grub menu.
To load Ubuntu, I have to pick a new option showing up in grub named "Previous Ubuntu version". Why is it acting this way? I have also attached the snapshot where the loading process just gets stuck.
My machine is always showing an hour ahead of the actual time. I am in Texas currently but the time never picks Day light savings. Any time I click on Set Time(Top Right Corner), my system just hangs right there. I have to turn off the machine each time. how do I fix this issue?
This is what happens when I try ntpdate: still 1 hour difference.
ntpdate time.nist.gov
13 Dec 21:44:37 ntpdate[3098]: bind() fails: Permission denied
sudo ntpdate time.nist.gov
[sudo] password for ubuntu: ntpdate[3237]: step time server 192.43.244.18 offset - 12.151112 sec
I posted yesterday regarding how to configure easytether on Ubuntu. I followed the steps and everything looks good from the terminal. But I am not able to connect to the Internet. Currently I am connected to a Wireless network, I tried disconnecting to it, in hope to connect to Internet using my phone but with no help. How do I make my notebook use my cell phone's connection. I have attached the snapshot from the terminal.
Could you please suggest me a good anonymous internet browsing application for Ubuntu?
This question is going to be little incomplete but I am sure you will guess what my problem is. So 2 days back When I restarted my machine I got 7 options on the Boot Screen instead of 5. Earlier Windows was the 5th Option (I made it default), but now some Memory test is the 5th option (Being Defaulted). How did it automatically happen? I didnt configure or changed anything.
I just installed logkeys from Software center. I am finding it hard to run it. Its documentation page doesnt help much either. 1. How do I run it? 2. Can I bind the start up with a key combination? 3. How to see the logs?
Thanks in advance
I am using WiFi Radar to connect to Wireless Networks, but it never connects me. I can see all the available networks, when I pick one and try to connect, the connection screen never goes away and it never connects.
Is there any free keylogger software for Ubuntu. If yes, How can I install it?
Recently started playing with Ubuntu. I am playing with few shell scripts written for Korn Shell that I want to edit in Ubuntu. What shell does Ubuntu runs on? I guess its Bash? If it is, then is there any way to install or run a particular script under a particular shell?
I have been playing around with Ubuntu installing new themes and and docks. Sometimes during the installation, whole screen just hangs. What is the best way in Ubuntu to Kill a process/application? Anything similar to Ctrl + Alt + Del of windows?
I recently lost all my Windows data. I tried running Photorec and I was able to recover some 18 GB of data back. Photorec threw an error after recovering 18 GB stating "Segmentation Fault". Was it because my windows drive was hardly ever defragged? If so, what routines/precautions I can take to make sure if something like this happens again on Windows or Linux side, Photorec wont throw the "Segmentation Fault" error.(Of course one precaution being backing up data regularly :-) )
I am not sure if its only me or someone else has experienced this as well. I moved to Ubuntu from windows and everything is rocking except the touchpad mouse sensitivity. I have tried keeping it to a low level but its still super quick. How do I make is move across the screen just like windows.
Is it possible to find the exact configuration and model of your systems graphics card in Ubuntu 10.10?
I am completely new to Ubuntu and I must say AskUbuntu and you folks are of great help. So now when I have started installing and playing with apps, my question is what is the best place to install/download apps? Like in Windows it usually goes under your C: drive and then you manage it under Program Files. Linux structure is quite different with a different folder hierarchy. I have attached the directory structure of my machine as well. I thought this question would help lot of beginners.
I never had any problem with display. This morning Ubuntu gave me an option to install drivers for Wireless Card and Nvidia drivers for display. There were two options for wireless driver and two options for NVidia display.. For NVidia driver one option was marked as Recommended (I remember installing this when I installled Ubuntu), so today along with two Wireless Drivers (Broadcom) drivers, I installed the other NVidia driver as well. After restarting I am seeing this lag which is quite irritating. Is there anyway to rollback to previous configuration like windows?

I am very new to Ubuntu and after spending a day or two with it, I think I really liked it. its very flexible and there is so much that you can do.
I want to install nice themes on machine. Whats the best place to get it?I found this link, but it talks about Ubuntu Jaunty? Will this work for me on Ubuntu 10.10? If you have any other nice suggestions for themes please share.
I installed Ubuntu 10.10 with Windows 7 Ultimate in dual boot configuration. Everything seems to be working fine. I have a small doubt, is it possible to Re-arrange the Boot menu that appears when you start your machine? Currently Ubuntu is at top and Windows is the very last one. If we dont make a choice for some seconds, it automatically boots Ubuntu. Can I swap this with Windows being default if the user doesn't make any choice?
I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 on a machine running Windows 7 Ultimate currently. I have few doubts, before I moved forward with installation regarding partitioning (I have lot vista last time without any back up :( ). So I am following the tutorial here
My current machine config is:
My doubts are: The author has mentioned about making multiple partitions under Ubuntu and windows-
Windows data partition (user files);"You can share it in Linux". I definitely want this, if I can at least open my media(pics, videos n all from both OS)
Linux Root, Linux swap, Linux Home
1.Do I really need all this? 2.If I do need these 3 Linux partitions, considering 37GB for Linux, how would you suggested me distribute it?
Your help is highly appreciated.
I lost my Windows Vista while installing Ubuntu. Few people suggested me to use Photorec to recover the data. I already installed testdisk. The place where I am confused is: I attached an external drive, got an icon on the the desktop, but I am not able to run the exe file which unlocks the drive. The drive is showing up under "media" with permissions drwx------. My question is even if I am not able to unlock it, am I safe to proceed to back up data onto this drive?
