Ok, but what do I need to do to get it to boot and work successfully without recovery mode?

Oh, I misunderstood your reply. The alternate cd installs successfully. But, upon reboot, the new system only shows the boot screen with the Ubuntu logo in the center, and five dots under it, and...

The process I experienced is outlined in my original post, see the "Boot from CD" section.

Sorry about that, you replied before I had a chance to add that info to my original post. Also, I have tried this from two burned cd's and they both have the same problem. Desktop and alternate cd's...

I have been using Ubuntu since 2005 and I use Ubuntu because it has always been rock-solid and trouble-free for me, I love this distro. I build my own machines because this allows me to pick and...

That works, I'll make that change.. thanks!

The name of the variable doesn't really matter, I was just worried about error checking, which is why there is so much more code in my script. What if the user doesn't enter anything but hits the OK...

I'm guessing this isn't easy

Years ago (2001?) I was already fed up with Windows when a friend told me about Debian GNU/Linux - I almost fell over when I found out it was free, Debian GNU/Linux had become my new best friend. I...

Very good point, I'll use double quotes. Thank you very much.

How would I change that to be technically correct?

I have written the following bash script for a friend to add as a menu item and would like some input on it:


#!/bin/bash
# Filename: browseropen.sh
# Version: 0.1
# Date: April 13, 2010

Thanks for the location. Yet something else I have to add to my cleanup.sh script:


rm -rf .local/share/Empathy/logs/*

Hey, I didn't know that.. very helpful. Thank you :)

I am currently in the market for a netbook and, as is my habit, I am doing quite a bit of research before making a purchase.

I have done some research onto Amazon's offerings and have come up with...

Yeah, I figured it was a false positive. Thank you very much for the bug report link.

I just performed a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 from a livecd that I received from Ship It. The install went well and I ran chkrootkit and rkhunter before putting the system online. The following...

Thank you! I didn't realise this required patching and compiling but it's worth it to get the end result.

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10. The notifications messages/bubbles that popup at the upper right corner are dark with light text. Is it possible to change the look of these (background color, text color,...

That works but is not acceptable as the new chosen icons stick when changing icon themes and don't fit in with the other icons in the new theme.

Just installed Ubuntu 9.10 this morning and am happy with it except for one thing. I have some folders in $HOME that have images on them, these are the special folders listed in...

Hmm.. maybe the graphite version of Mac4Lin, there's no blue in that screenshot. I'll give Mac4Lin Graphite a try.
