Edit: lol, just noticed...

Would it be possible to add an advanced option to wipe the extra space between the MBR and the first partition where stupid applications like to write? I had to manually write zeros on sectors 1 to...

Thanks for that article. I've been exploring other solutions to this, and they're all flawed in one way or another. For instance after a pretty complicated set-up (and sorting through half-functional...

Why can't people read the bug description I linked to???
Anyways ctrl-alt-backspace is now alt-sysrq-k.



I did vote for the brainstorm idea you linked to, however look at the stupid answer...

I appreciate your trying to contribute to this thread, but if you had read the bug description I linked to in the OP, you'd know I already mentioned this.:roll:

Summary: those keys avoid...

Actually I think there are two parts to this problem:
- Regarding frozen apps, it's a serious usability and reliability issue with Ubuntu, which can make users lose data or their OS. (Plus Windows...

People, I won't say it again: read this bug description before making any suggestions. And let's take a proactive attitude, otherwise this'll never get fixed.

Recently I had Battle for Wesnoth...

Hey, glad I could help! ;)

The alternate CD has a text-based installation "for experts". Well, it's not that hard, and you can find many guides on the 'net. If you never downloaded torrents I'd avoid it, you have to configure...

The CD you download, if it passed the md5 check, is exactly the same as the "official" one you get in the mail. Except for the pretty picture printed on the latter. It definitely sounds like an...

Socref:
- First, I doubt your 8.04 cd is bad. This version of Ubuntu probably introduced an incompatibility with your hardware. Hopefully it is fixed in 8.10.

- Still, you should check your iso...

For those who don't want to use the command line or manually edit routing tables, this post describes how to direct only the needed traffic through the vpn with the Intrepid NetworkManager applet.

The fixed .deb has been on ppa for almost two weeks, and it has not even made its way into intrepid-proposed. Seems like nobody in the staff cares.

But! As we all know from...

Lol, I suspect Ubuntu-like behavior is already worse: just copy from a random blog these lines of script that begin by sudo in your console, type your password and hit enter. Don't worry, it will fix...

A simple solution to this problem would be to have apt-zeroconf install only signed packages by default. Advanced users can always edit the config file and allow sharing of unsigned ones at their own...

Hey thanks for researching this!

I found the following about irqpoll:

Happy I could help!

One thing bothers me, however: I know those options help, but I have no clue about what they do: can they hamper performance or cause other problems? I'd appreciate if someone...

I just bought a P5Q-Pro and it's running fine under Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.1 64bits.

I installed winXP (before ubuntu) in IDE mode, and ExpressGate only works in that mode, so switching to AHCI was out...

Hello, I upgraded a few days ago from Feisty to Gutsy...

On my end, at least the system is working, but I have many weird bugs:

- lost boot splash. Note that I had upgraded from feisty to...

Hmm... that's true. I wasn't thinking about rootkits, maybe more about the "traditional" types of viruses which try to damage your system as much as they can. If the malware stays hidden and waits...

Hello people, I understand all the worries about a virus/trojan/direct attacker gaining root access, but I wonder: is it that bad?

I think the worse security risk is an attacker gaining access to...

I did many win98 installs on many of my friends' desktop computers. I think this is a good benchmark, since I did the install myself on several different computers. And I can assure you that it is a...

People, I can't believe what some of you are saying in this thread:

- "**** people with old computers, they just have to upgrade": hey, first of all, where's your ecological sense: should we just...
