I was following the instructions of this tutorial HOWTO: Purge and Reinstall Grub 2 from the Live CD, when I encountered an error at step 1, as I launched the command
sudo chroot /mnt/temp
The error was the following:
chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error
Where does that come from? How do I get through?
When I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop from the CD, I choose for encrypting my home folder. Just after, I copied a lot of files to ~, but that copying might not have worked.
Since then my computer is running very slow. I restarted my computer enough times to have the system file checks be done during some boots: no change.
As a consequence I analyzed my /home/ folder using Baobab. It indicates my home is full up to 75%. Nearly the half of it is occupied by /home/.ecryptfs/, the other half by /home/grandoxymore/. They both share precisely the same tree structure.
Is this normal? If no, how should I fix this? If yes, how can I improve my computer performances? And, how can I unencrypt my home folder?
I want to use Empathy which is provided by default with Ubuntu 10.10. Unfortunately, it seems unable to take account of the proxy settings I applied system-wide.
On the contrary, other programs are able to connect to the Internet, like for example Pidgin. Is there any solution to make Empathy also use my proxy settings?
