Well, oldfred and darkod, this has been an enlightening discussion. Thank you both for your time.

What is the advantage of putting /home on its own partition. I've seen that in different places, but I wasn't sure what the purpose is.

Yes. There is a large amount of unallocated space because I was trying to decide how to use it. Let's say I delete the windows partition and resize the swap space. I've decided that, though I wanted...

One more thing. I do have a swap partition of 7.45GB. Should I resize that? I am not sure why I choose that size?

Oh my goodness. I completely forgot that I originally was dual booting Vista and XP because I wasn't sure which one would work best on this machine. I'm sorry I forgot about that detail. I deleted...

Okay, I am confused. Here is the output of the script:

Hello,

I installed windows XP on a Dell Inpiron 530. It is on partition 5 of the only hard drive (I do not recall why it is on partition 5).

Then I installed Ubuntu 11.10 from USB. Grub did...

Well, it works partially....

Immediately after installing firmware-b43-installer the wireless worked. But after a restart, I couldn't get it to work with out doing this:


~$modprobe -r b43 ssb...

I will try to keep this straight-forward.

Yesterday I was able to access an ubuntu 10.10 (edubuntu) desktop using the tightVNC viewer that I installed on my Vista laptop. I never set anything up...

SOLVED! Ubuntu 10.10 works great with my old Dimension 2400! Let it run for nearly a week (started it an restarted it, too) not one problem.

Solved! I had to tell code:blocks to add the directories with the header files to the project, the release, and the debug directories of the project. Need more details? Just ask!

Yes. It is installed and running the newest version.

No. What is contained in it?

Hi,

I would describe my c/c++ programming skills at Intermediate level, and I am looking to develop GTK applications with codeblocks as means of trying something new and as a practical way to...

Wow. I stopped checking this thread after going to opensuse 11.2 thinking it would solve my problem--it didn't and (sad to say) the opensuse community couldn't help me. I have learned that the ubuntu...

fieldyweb,

Did you figure this issue out? I installed ubuntu 10.10 two days ago and I am having the same problem.

I'm going to try ltsp-build-client tomorrow, but I'd like to know more about...

I thought I did a thorough check before I posted but fieldyweb is having the same problem.

Please answer that post and I will stay tuned.

I setup Ubuntu 10.10 (edubuntu) along with ltsp. I have an environment with a windows network (192.168.1.0) and a subnet (192.168.0.0) that the new terminal server is on.

Everything seemed to be...

Update: I turned off the screen saver at 10:30 last night and it is still working great (no freezes) at 7:00 am ( I left it on all night and let power management turn off the monitor).
But this...

I've seen a bit about the display being frozen on intel integrated displays, but I do not see the answer anywhere. Does anyone know how to fix this problem:

Ubuntu 9.10 boots and runs just fine...

Thanks. That worked well. I had to type the full path into the address window to locate the icon, but no big deal.

As for my second question. This program resides in it's own folder with all of...

I've downloaded a program called Aptana to my Ubuntu system it is available as a plugin for eclipse, but Eclipse would not install it this way so I got the stand-alone version. I unzipped it to a...

Well, I guess I had the idea that there were many toolkits, but I needed some direction as to which one might be best to get started with since I am somewhat new to programming and an absolute novice...

Okay. So I'm ready to delve into learning to create/modify applications for Linux/Ubuntu. My skills in C/C++ are coming along and I've been searching for a "getting started" tutorial for programming...
