Double-check that file. Your file manager may be calculating in 1000's instead of 1024's or something like (kib vs kb). Or you might not have the full file.

Images I create under Linux will never boot, while images produced the few times I've ran the program in Windows would occasionally work.

I haven't used it in a while, but my experience has usually been that the Linux version will die horribly while the Windows version works just fine. It's sad that they manage to gently caress up such a useful program.

Apache is the most regularly used and best 3rd party supported server, but it's a real resource hog. You might want to look into nginx or lighttpd if you expect more than a few site hits.

I have a little ubuntu server machine with no KVM that I've had connected by ethernet for a while now and it's worked great. But now I'm evicting it to another part of the house that has no ethernet access so I got a pci wireless card for it. I've gotten it set up and works great. I've been learning a lot about connecting to wireless networks via the command line and these are the magic words that get me an ip address: code:

I found this thread on the Ubuntu forums, looks like it's exactly what you're looking for. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=320282 Edit: you have to manually bring the adapter up with ifconfig after a reboot everytime? If that's the case for that script to work after a reboot you might have to add "ifconfig wlan0 up" without quotes to your /etc/rc.local. Hell you might want to add all 3 of those commands to your /etc/rc.local, that will at least connect after a reboot but it won't help for reconnecting after you get disconnected from your AP. I would add those commands to your /etc/rc.local BEFORE you go messing around with that script, that way if the script doesn't work and breaks your connection you can just reboot the machine and it will connect to the network and you won't have to drag the computer across the house. Now I have my own question. Anyone know if the cpufreq ondemand governor it just supposed to skip between min and max without hitting any of the available frequencies in between? It just switches from 800mhz to 1.73ghz but it stays at 1.73 ghz about 95% of the time even with nothing really running in the background. In contrast the conservative governor goes 800mhz -> 1066mhz -> 1333mhz -> 1732mhz and usually hangs out at around 800mhz. If the ondemand governor is supposed to only switch between min and max frequencies then that is fine and I can stop beating my head against the keyboard trying to figure out why it's not using the other two available frequencies.

When CPU usage goes over 80%, it clocks the CPU to the maximum available speed, then if it goes under 20% it clocks it down a notch. I guess theres something keeping it above 20% at the maximum speed while you're using the ondemand govenor?

System is idling, I'm watching top and it hasn't gone above 2% CPU usage and for some reason the ondemand governor thinks my CPU needs to be maxed out for this. It goes to 800mhz but only ever minute or so and only for 1 or 2 seconds. My CPU usage does not spike at all.

If you are getting so far that you actually get sounds from the OS, its booting properly and it probably just didn't auto-detect your video card or display settings. If you do ctrl-alt-F1 or other F keys you can switch between virtual terminals and see if you can get into the system. Most installers have some sort of text based install option that wouldn't require X.

You might have to grab the Ubuntu Alternate install CD which does a text install. Then you can get installed and mess around with X.

Question about running X programs from a remote server: Is the graphics card used at all on the remote server? My server has the cheapest PCI video card I could find (some ancient 8mb ATI junk). It's not even powerful enough to run the Xserver on the machine itself, but I didn't think that mattered. But when I try and X forward anything on my desktop the program basically freezes, and even my terminals freeze. Although file sharing through Samba continues to work. Would a beefier graphics card solve this, or does this sound like another problem?

GregNorc posted:Someone suggested I use the alternative install cd, so I used unetbootin to put that iso onto my usb drive. This worked. The alternate install should have still installed the desktop. Run this command: aptitude search ubuntu-desktop If you have a desktop installed, you'll see something like this: p edubuntu-desktop - educational desktop for Ubuntu p edubuntu-desktop-kde - educational desktop for Kubuntu p kubuntu-desktop - Kubuntu desktop system p lubuntu-desktop - Lubuntu Desktop environment i ubuntu-desktop - The Ubuntu desktop system p xubuntu-desktop - Xubuntu desktop system If you don't see any 'i' then you don't have a desktop, in which case you would 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' (or sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop, if you prefer aptitude). If you do have the package installed, try and X11. If you're using xubuntu or ubuntu, it'll be 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start' or for kubuntu I think 'sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start'. If those fail, X11 should give you some debug info, and there should be a log file /etc/X11.

Also, your problem looks related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/515246 which is supposedly fixed. I just skimmed it. Edit: I would recommend using apt to update to the newest kernel first because this bug was fixed as like 10 days ago. Edit: The bug is that the lid closed sensor always sends back "closed" so not even virtual terminals can be used as long as X is running. waffle iron fucked around with this message at 19:56 on Apr 18, 2010 |

That looks like it will install the official Gnome without any of the Ubuntu changes. Looks like it's a carryover from Debian. Depends on if that's what you want or not. I don't have that package installed on my Ubuntu system, but it looks like it just 'requires' all sorts of Gnome stuff, so I probably have most of it installed already anyway. E: That package actually isn't installable. It fast-user-switch-applet, but that package can't be installed because it's been replaced with gdm. So don't go that route.

Did you by any chance download the "server" image instead of the "alternate" one? If it's just not installed, it should be as easy as running "sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop" as FISHMANPET suggested. If not, there should be some errors. The Intel video drivers are open source'd, so it's weird your running into so much trouble with your new laptop.
