Opinion of Ubuntu

What do people in this forum think of ubuntu?
There are many people in the debian forum who hate it.
I am in the process of switching from ubuntu to arch. My laptop is currently booting vista, ubuntu and arch, and I am just about to remove ubuntu.
I still think ubuntu is great for beginners.

I'm like you as well. I'm a new arch user, and I'm keeping buntu around until I'm fully transitioned over, it's great in that aspect as well. One I have arch how I like it , have everything moved over, I'll have to say good bye to bunt.
This is a good way to to it. It helps to refer to programs installed on ubuntu to see how to set up arch. I deleted ubuntu yesterday. Now this laptop only has arch and vista. If I hadn't had the tri-boot for a while, I might have had to use vista, and we don't want that.
Some see ubuntu as bloated. Because I have used vista, which takes 35% of RAM with nothing open, and 10GB of disk space, I will never see ubuntu as bloated.

Satellite A100-1k7:Need Atheros 5007eg driver for Ubuntu 7.10 Linux

Hi
I'm the proud owner of an A100-1k7 laptop upgraded to a total of 2Gb Ram.
I tried to install my new discovery, Ubuntu 7.10 onto it. I succeeded of course:)
However I do have on issue which I can't figure out myself.
My wifi adapter is not running. It's one of those atheros 5007eg's.
I tried to find a driver but couldn't find one.
Madwifi doesn't support it yet and ndiswrapper, well that's a bit out of my league I suppose.
I tried different tutorials but all of them didn't work for me.
I got this far:
When i give ndiswrapper the driver install command (i'm using a winxp 32bit driver) it shouts driver already installed.
But when i try to see if it works i get the message wrong driver.
Could anyone please give me a good working tutorial on how to install drivers for this wifi adapter?
And please bare in mind i'm an absolute new regarding linux based operating systems.... so a tutorial which i could simply copy and paste into my terminal would be a gift of the gods to me:)
Please forgive me for my poor English since it is not my native language.
Kind regards,
Bas

Hello Martyna
>because it's not good answer that Linux is not recommended for Toshiba.
In my opinion you have misunderstand something here. I really do not know where you have founded info that Linux is not recommended for Toshiba notebooks. Believe me it is definitely wrong. There are many different Linux distributions and versions that you can use with Toshiba notebooks.
I see there just one problem and it is official Linux support. As you know Toshiba does not support Linux and at the moment you are on your own. Linux OS is very popular and I hope that more and more notebook manufacturers will start with official Linux support.
Bye and good luck!

Recovering 'Mysafe' folder from infected HDD in Ubuntu

Hi,
my wife's laptop was hit pretty hard by 'protectmypc' virus. went bsod on me.
followed howtogeek.com img iso brnt ubuntu to run and recoeverd most of my files.
Now before i do a clean install, i can't recover anything in the mysafe folder....
How the heck can i get these files?
The folder is empty when looking at it from Ubuntu
any help pls, some vip docs in there.
thanks

Hi
MySafe seems to be an 3rd party tool. Has nothing to do with Toshiba.
Ubuntu is also not supported.
However, in my opinion you need installed MySafe in order to get access to these files
Without installed MySafe you will not be able to recover the files secured by MySafe.
This is my personal opinion

Instalar ubuntu 14.04

Hola quisiera saber como se puede instalar ubuntu 14.04 en mi lenovo g50-70 sin perder mi licencia de windows 8.1????

Hola nacer89 que tal,
La licencia no la pierdes esta inyectada en placa, en todo caso te recomiendo que solicites los disco de restauración al centro de llamadas Lenovo de tu país.
Para realizar una instalación dual te recomiendo seguir este enlace http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Android-Linux/Instalar-Linux-en-Lenovo-G580/td-p/1509616 aunque los modelos son distintos la teoría es similar.
En el enlace encontraras:
Mantener Windows 8.1 de fabrica mas Ubuntu u otro distro Linux.
Volver a instalar de cero ambos Windows y Linux, recomendable prestar atención a mantener el Windows 8.1 de fabrica.
Particionar el disco, realizar un respaldo, crear una unidad para instalar Linux y las configuraciones de BIOS para poder lograr la instalación dual.
Es un poco confuso porque el tema es algo extenso pero muy útil si no quieres desfallecer en el intento de una instalación dual.
Si tienes dudas especificas comentarlas por aca.
Un saludo.

Can't create symbolic link on a cifs mount (on a linux VM 14.10 Ubuntu)

I created a file share on an azure storage and mounted the share on a VM using:
# mount –t cifs //ACCOUNT_NAME.file.core.windows.net/SHARE/mnt/DIRECTORY
-o vers=2.1,username=ACCOUNT_NAME,password=ACCESS_KEY,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777
Everything works fine except I can't create symlinks inside the share! I get the following error:
"Operation not supported"
cifs should support symlinks....I am using a VM with Ubuntu 14.10.Been researching this for 2 hours and no solution as of yet! All suggestions appreciated!

Thanks Malar,
In my opinion, there is something wrong in the smb.conf file of the server. In order to support symbolic links, unix extensions must be disabled there. Also the sfu option needs to be enabled. I tried everything possible on the client (VM) end. The issue
is clearly from the server
Best,

UBUNTU, PARTICIONES Y ONERECOVERY

Muy buenas a todos. Hace poco solicité un disco de recuperaci´n para mi Z500 Touch, el cual ya tengo en mi posesión. Tuve problemas con OneKey y así que próximamente haré uso del disco.
Ahora bien, cuando restaure el equipo, me gustaría instalar Ubuntu en una partición de C:. Ya lo hice en un par de ocasiones y todo fue bien, dejándole 50GB al SO sin problema alguno.
En las instrucciones de OneRecovery viene algo así como que no se recomienda particionar el disco porque podría dejar de funcionar correctamente este programa. En las dos ocasiones en las que ya particioné e instalé Ubuntu anteriormente, como os comento, no tuve ese problema, pero con estos PCs tan delicados nunca se sabe.
Me gustaría esta vez tomar 100GB del TB de C: para dedicárselo a Ubuntu.
Os pregunto, ¿existe algún límite para particionar el disco y que OneKey deje de funcionar? Es decir, ¿qué cantidad de GB me recomendáis particionar (como máximo) para que OneKey siga trabajando correctamente? Gracias de antemano.

Hola Aorest3 que tal,

Hola tengo un lenovo E73 comprado sin SO y quiero instalar ubuntu,tengo que tocar los bios ,enciendo el ordenador e inserto el DVD y no pasa nada .Gracias

Hola javiermf que tal,
No tengo tu modelo de Pc pero si colocaras una imagen de la BIOS donde dice StarUp y security o comentaras que es lo que has modificado hasta el momento.
También aunque parezca básico asegurarse que el DVD sea auto-arrancable, este arranca en otro ordenador?, de ser el caso que si este sea auto-arrancable solo faltaría descartar alguna configuración en BIOS.
Por cierto que versión de Ubuntu intentas instalar?

I'm back from ubuntu.

Only because there is more software there, but all of it is out of date.

pjeremy, again you misinterpret my words. I never said that a over advertised product isn't good quality. Ubuntu is a good quality distribution and there's a lot of Debian devs who contribute to it.
I said that it is quality that should drive people towards a product and not shiny advertisements.
Ubuntu is doing what is does best, get people to try Linux and that's a good thing.
pjeremy, I never said that if Ubuntu's kernel 2.6.22 is buggy, it's Ubuntu's fault.
I said that *if* 2.6.22 is buggy, ArchLinux will upgrade it's users to 2.6.23 while Ubuntu won't.
And yes I know how to compile kernels, I've been doing that since at least 2.2.0
"Where do you come up with your opinion that Windows users like to look at Distrowatch?"
I know over 300 university students who do so every day plus at least 5 coworkers and none of them uses Linux.
In Lebanon, only ISP uses Linux. Less than 500 people in the whole country have even heard of Linux (unless they work for an ISP). But my ISP still gets 1000's of hits to Distrowatch from unique IPs per month.
You're still misinterpreting my words. I never said windows users like to look at Distrowatch. I said that a lot of Distrowatch visitors are windows users.
And I never said Ubuntu lacked quality. I said that people who use over publicized products try it at first because of the popularity and not the proven quality. If it does turn out to be of good quality, then that's good. In ArchLinux, people come here because of the good quality even if ArchLinux doesn't advertise much. You don't have to over advertise a good product. It's good reputation will slowly and naturally spread.
If you're an engineer and you work for popular engineering firm and there a bid for a project, would you rather be invited to the bid because of:
1. Your successful record of completed projects.
2. or because they keep hearing about the firm you work for and they invited you because you were the first engineer available?
Also, you obviously prefer ArchLinux, right? You did say you are back and as community, we are happy when people come back to Archlinux.

Anyone running ubuntu 11.x on a t420?

if so, any thoughts/comments/tips/suggestions?
i'm hopefully going to be doing this soon, in a dual boot configuration with windows7, and am looking for any info that may help me out.
thanks.

I cannot answer your question directly, as I do not own a T420. However, since no one else has replied, I can tell you the following:
* I own a T61, which is a predecessor to the T420, but less capable. I have successfully installed Ubuntu 11.04 on it, as well as previous Ubuntu versions. I have installed these in both single-boot and dual-boot configurations. I have also installed other distros, such as Fedora, Xubuntu, Kubuntu, and maybe a few others.
* I find that Thinkpads have very good compatibility with various Linux distributions. It is possible that some function or another does not work, but I have never had an insurmountable obstacle. The issues I faced with a Thinkpad under Linux were different, but in my opinion, preferable to the ones I faced under Windows.
My current setup is a dual operating system, but not dual-boot. Is there a particular reason you want dual-boot? Have you had dual-boot experience before? If you are not sure this is what you want, there may be alternatives that will meet your needs as well or better.
If you do a dual-boot, I recommend installing Windows first and then Ubuntu. Ubuntu is set up so it can be installed alongside Windows with little grief. Windows does not play as nicely if Ubuntu is already on the system.
A few resources I have found helpful, besides the ubiquitous Google, are ThinkWiki, which contains installation instructions specific for Thinkpads; also ThinkpadForums (or was it notebookreview forums), which had a good discussion section for Thinkpads and Linux; and also the Ubuntu (or whatever distro you choose) forums.
My experience is that battery life has been better under Linux than under Windows. However, I understand the latest Thinkpads have optimized the Windows battery life, and have pulled ahead of what Linux does.
If you have any specific questions, feel free to post them up.
Hope this not-quite-direct reply helps some.

Installation problem on Ubuntu 8.04

When I tried to install SJSWS7 on Ubuntu 8.04 (Chinese Simplified), words on the installation windows are all unreadable words (except for the English characters). Please tell me what I can do!
Thanks.
Owen

to sandycn: You are really a treasure Sandy!!!! Thanks a lot. Last night I used your way and it really worked! ^o^
to joe.mccabe: Your solution, I believe, will work too! I'll write down both you and Sandy's suggestion and for further reference!! But I really want to know what is the default font used in WS7? I have several Chinese fonts installed in my Ubuntu 8.04, but you see none is right for WS7! Not every people is an expert for WS7, someone might be just learning how to use WS, so I believe we can make it easier for beginners!!! Or maybe all these have been written in the distribution document and I didn't find them! :-(((((((
By the way, where can I find a handbook on how to use Netbeans6.5? My feeling is that the Java language is difficult to learn, and the IDE is also something we should learn thoroughly if we want learn Java really well! There are a lot of things written for Java, but nowhere can I find a document about how to use the IDE! The online help is not really so helpful, and the infomation provided in the Netbeans6.5 HELP is not very complete!
The problem I encountered now is: I'm trying to write a small application for looking up phone numbers. The phone numbers are listed in a CSV file. The problem is where I should put the CSV file and how to access it! (I'm using the Netbeans IDE, and the application I'm doing on is a desktop application)
I guess the solution must be quite easy, but I just cann't find any document to tell me the way!

Lenovo Yoga 2 13, Kali Linux 1.0.7, Ubuntu 14.04, Windows 8.1 install, config, and wifi fix.

Lenovo Yoga 2 13, Kali Linux 1.0.7, Ubuntu 14.04, Windows 8.1 install, config, and wifi fix.
I wanted to share an experience with everyone I hope will help others avoid what I have gone through the past 3 days. I bought a Yoga 11s that I loved but had some issues with the wireless, Lenovo being awesome replaced it with a Yoga 2 13. I love this laptop but ran into some issues with Linux install/wireless, which I wanted to show how to resolve in one place. Hopefully this will help someone else get through this quicker
I am going to try and write this for someone with little Linux experience, if I miss the mark please let me know and I will clarify the best I can.
For work I need Windows 8.1 and Kali Linux, while for home I prefer Ubuntu.
My Yoga 2 13:
I5 1.6 ghz
8 GB ram
256 GB SSD
ORANGE!
My requirements:
I need Windows
I need Kali Linux (livecd, even with persistent mode was not an option as it would not save the wireless fix or system updates) – I would also like this on a USB drive and not the internal SSD
I would like Ubuntu
Needed to do this:
1. 2 USB thumb drives (at least 8gb in size each) I used 2 Leef Supra 32GB drives. They are my favorite right now and are only about $27 at amazon.
2. Phone that can USB Tether or a USB Ethernet card (External USB wireless will show as "Hardware Locked"). Again you can pick one up for sub $10 if you need the USB Ethernet route. I used my Galaxy S5, you will need to download 200-300 mb of items through this so make sure you have the data if you go that route.
3. You may be able to get a USB wifi card to work if you do the following after boot. This only worked once for me.
                a.Type ‘sudo rmmod iwlmvm’
b.Type ‘sudo rmmod iwlwifi’
4. ISOs of Ubuntu and Kali Linux (I used Ubuntu 14.04 and Kali Linux 1.0.7)
5. Software to unzip the ISOs. I recommend 7-ZIP and will be referencing this in this guide.
6. I will include the EFI boot files and the WiFi fix files if I can attach. Otherwise I will provide a link to them.
   Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
Recommended (these are just in case you corrupt something making your system not see any OS
1. I would call Lenovo beforehand and get a set of recover disks (this will take 2-3 days)
2. In the meantime a USB Windows 8.1 or 8 ISO (the repair feature may save you)
*Note: At many points in this guide I detail steps and commands. Please double check that you understand the step before proceeding. There are multiple points where a mistyped command or clicking the wrong option will cause your entire system to fail and you will need to reformat the entire drive and start over. This also will make One Touch recovery not work. Proceed with caution.*
I did not need to disable ‘secure boot’ to do this, but keep in mind that you may need to.
Steps:
First let’s go through the installs, and then we will go through grub config and wireless fix
1. In Windows scroll to computer and right click, select manage.
2. Go to “Disk Management”
3. Select the main HDD (notice Lenovo puts a stupid number of partitions on here)
a. I deleted the D: drive on here, if you do this make sure to copy the drives over to your main C: drive. You will want to run each of the installers and repair the drivers after.
4. I used the space from the D: drive and pulled a little more creating a 50 GB partition for Ubuntu and my swap file
a. You can also add more space by right clicking your C drive and selecting shrink
b. Do not format the partitioned data as this will make identifying it later much easier.
5. Open a command line
                a. Swipe from the right of the screen and select search
                b. Type ‘cmd’
                c. right click and select ‘run as admin’
6. For Ubuntu: Type ‘diskpart’ into the command line
                a. type ‘list disk’
i. You should see 2-3 disks depending on if you have one or both usb drives in the laptop at the time. I would suggest only doing 1 at a time so you don’t lose track.
                b. type ‘select disk $’ (Replace the $ with the number of the drive)
c. ***** Before proceeding make sure you have the correct drive selected or you can ruin your Windows install and Lenovo one touch recovery will not fix it since we have changed the partitions *****
d. type ‘clean’
e. type ‘create partition primary’
f. type ‘active’
g. type ‘format fs=fat32 quick’
h. type ‘assign’
i. type ‘exit’
6. For Kali Linux: Type ‘diskpart’ into the command line
                a. type ‘list disk’
i. You should see 2-3 disks depending on if you have one or both usb drives in the laptop at the time. I would suggest only doing 1 at a time so you don’t lose track.
                b. type ‘select disk $’ (Replace the $ with the number of the drive)
c. ***** Before proceeding make sure you have the correct drive selected or you can ruin your Windows install and Lenovo one touch recovery will not fix it since we have changed the partitions *****
d. type ‘clean’
e. type ‘create partition primary size= 3272
f. type ‘active’
g. type ‘format fs=fat32 quick’
h. type ‘assign’
i. type ‘exit’
j. By doing this we can maintain a portion of this drive as the install CD and still have linux install/ liveCD if we need to run it on another machine.
7. At this point the drive is ready to have the contents of the ISO copied over.
8. Right click the ISO and select 7-zip then ‘zip to /’ This should unzip the ISO to the location of the ISO into a folder named exactly the same as the ISO.
9. Once this is done for Ubuntu ISO it is done
10. Kali requires a little bit more to be ready
                a. Kali will need some files added for EFI boot. --$--
                               i. Thanks to: https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?271-How-to-EFI-install-Kali-Linux
                               ii. EFI files are located within the wifi fix folder https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
11. Now let’s start with Ubuntu
Ubuntu install
1.     Place USB drive into the laptop and press the “Lenovo boot” button next to the power button
2.     Select ‘Boot Menu’
3.     Select ‘EFI USB Device (Name of drive)’ Mine stated Leef Supra
4.     Select ‘install Ubuntu’
5.     Go through the Ubuntu install until you get to select the install drive
6.     Once you get to the install portion it will ask you to select from one of 4 options. Select ‘Manually select partition’
7.     Select the “Free Space” where we opened up some of the drive
8.     You will need to create 2 partitions, I usually create the swap partition at the end of the drive
a.     First I create the swap
                                          i.    Set at the end of the drive
                                         ii.    Set size to 1024 mb
                                        iii.    Set type to ‘swap’
b.     Second create the ext 4 partition
                                          i.    Set to beginning of drive
                                         ii.    Set to remainder of the space
                                        iii.    Set type to ext4
                                        iv.    Set mount point to /
9.     Finish the install and boot into Ubuntu
10.   You will notice that your wireless is ‘disabled by hardware’ This is fine for the time being and we will worry about this after the kali install. If we fix it now for some reason after installing kali we get the error again and would just need to fix it again.
Kali Linux install
1.     Place USB drive into the laptop and press the “Lenovo boot” button next to the power button
2.     Select ‘Boot Menu’
3.     Select ‘EFI USB Device (Name of drive)’ Mine stated Leef Supra
4.     From the grub menu select ‘install kali linux’ both graphical and text work. I much prefer text install
5.     You will get a few errors through the install but that is fine
6.     The first we see is about network hardware and ‘load missing firmware from removable media?’ – Select ‘no’
7.     Then select no ethernet card
8.     It will have you name your machine then it will ask you for the root password
a.     If you want to just use root *not recommended* place the password here
b.     If you wish to use a non-root account then leave these blank and it will ask you for a name, username, and password of the new machine *Very Recommended* - this will also add this user to the sudoers file
9.     It will then ask you to ‘partition disks’
10.   Select manual
11.   Now here is where it can get a little confusing so read twice click once
12.   Select the USB drive from this list
13.   Mine shows up under (sdb) – Leef Supra
a.     It could be sdc, sdd, sde, etc… depending on how many drives you have plugged in.
14.   You should see one primary drive that is 3gb or so that is formatted as FAT32. – DO NOT TOUCH THIS PARTITION!
15.   You should see the remainder of this drive as ‘FREE SPACE’ select that
16.   Create a partition at the end at size 1024mb and swap
17.   Then create another one for the remainder of the drive and set it to ext4 with mountpoint of /
18.   Continue through the install after you should see an error warning you that ‘you may not be able to boot’ that is fine, select continue
19.   Then select from the menu of all the options ‘continue without bootloader’
20.   It should finish up then reboot on its own.

First setup/boot/fix grub
1.     You should be able to boot up into GRUB2 menu now.
2.     You may not see kali linux in this menu (make sure you have your towel and don’t panic!)
3.     Boot into Ubuntu
4.     Once you log in you should see that you still cannot use wireless due to being locked by hardware
5.     This is expected
6.     Let’s fix grub then we will come back to fixing wireless
7.     Plug in your device to connect to the internet (USB Tethering or USB Ethernet)
8.     Once you verify that you now have an internet connection run the following from terminal
a.     ‘sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer’
b.     ‘sudo apt-get update’
c.     ‘sudo apt-get install grub-customizer’
9.     You can also edit the grub.cfg manually if you know what you are doing… I did not
10.   Open grub customizer
11.   It should auto populate and you should see ‘debian (kali linux)’ somewhere in the list
12.   It should be mounted to /dev/sdb2 or /dev/sdc2 depending on how many devices you have
13.   At this point go ahead and save
14.   Reboot and test that you can get into each OS
15.   This is where my inexperience got me. I spent 2 of my days so I am including this error: If when you boot into Kali you get an error somewhere that says ‘/bin/sh: can’t access tty: job control turned off’ look above it for an error that looks similar to ‘ALERT! /dev/sdc2 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!!’
a.     That error is due to the mount point being incorrect in grub, reboot and from within grub highlight the kali boot. Press ‘e’ then towards the bottom you should see ‘root=/dev/sdc2’ change this to ‘root=/dev/sdb2’ again the number doesn’t matter just make sure it stays the same.
b.     Press F10
c.     If this boots fine then you will need to go back and fix the grub.cfg or load into Ubuntu and open grub customizer again, it should fix this
16.   Now you have 3 working OS on the machine with one being on a USB! Congrats!
17.   You can remove the USB with no worry of screwing up your install, but you will not be able to boot into Kali Linux until you replace it. I would suggest only removing it and replacing it while the machine is powered off, but that’s just me.
Fix Wireless
Now is the time to do what probably ¾ of you came here for. FIX THE DANG WIRELESS. This is a huge problem from Lenovo’s side that I hope they realize how important Linux is and will fix. I won’t hold my breath though.

His has you download quite a large file, mine should be much smaller.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
1.     Download the attached package with the fix.
2.     Connect your USB internet device (tether or ethernet)
3.     Place the packages somewhere easy to access, in this example I will place them under ~/Desktop/WiFiFix
4.     Type ‘cd ~/Desktop/WiFiFix/’
5.     Now we need to prep the tools we need.
6.     Type ‘sudo apt-get update’ – we did this before, but you know, just in case
7.     Type ‘sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname –r`’   Note around uname-r they are the ` symbol not the ‘ this is located just above the tab on the same key as ~.
8.     Type ‘make’
9.     Type ‘sudo cp /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/ideapad-laptop.ko ~/ideapad-laptop.ko.backup’
10.   Type ‘sudo cp ~/Desktop/WiFiFix/ideapad-laptop.ko /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/’
11.   Type ‘sudo modprobe -r ideapad-laptop’
12.   Type ‘sudo modprobe ideapad-laptop’
13.   Type ‘sudo rfkill unblock all’
14.   Type ‘sudo modprobe -r ideapad-laptop’
15.   Type ‘sudo mv ~/ideapad-laptop.ko.backup /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/ideapad-laptop.ko’
16.   Next we need to blacklist the ideapad module
17.   Type ‘sudo echo 'blacklist ideapad-laptop' > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
a.     The first time I tried this it wouldn’t work. So I did the following
b.     ‘sudo touch /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
c.     ‘sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
d.     Enter     blacklist ideapad-laptop
e.     Exit and save
18.   Reboot your Yoga 2 13
19.   Boot into kali and see if you have wireless, if you do then you are done. If not we will need to repeat this process with one small little change.
Kali Wifi Fix
1.     Copy the sources.list from the package provided
2.     Replace /etc/apt/sources.list with the included
3.     Some of the file path changes but the process remains the same from here.
Congratulations you now have 3 OSes one portable to other machines and working wifi!
Thank you

Ubuntu, Windows, and iTunes can't see my iPod. What can I do?

I have an iPod 5g and i have been messing around with it and i discovered the problem of iTunesLock preventing me from accessing the iPod and putting itself back on. Well in a stroke of genius I deleted the Play Counts and iTunesLock files also trying to see if that would stop iTunesLock from reappearing every time i plug in my iPod.
Now my computer (running Ubuntu 7.10) does not see it at all. Also windows does not see it, until i remove it then it says my iPod is corrupted, but when i connect it, iTunes denies any knowledge of seeing it.
I tried to use this website to help and it did nothing for me.
http://www.macworld.com/article/38851/2004/09/trubipod.html
Right now when i turn it on it shows the "Connect to computer. Use iTunes to restore iPod."
then it goes into disk mode. Strangely, even in disk mode neither windows nor Linux can see it.
I went into the diagnostics menu and everything seems to check out fine.
i know there is a .Trash-matthew file on the iPod and i have a great suspicion that if i can get on the iPod and see the hidden files then i could just put the file back.
Also BIOS does see it so I don't think its completely bricked yet.
I am using linux but I have access to Windows Vista. So I can work in either format.
for those versed in Linux here are some commands and their outputs for you to use:
This is the immediate output of dmesg
[CODE]matthew@matthew-laptop:~$ dmesg | tail

Realizing it wasn't mounted tried to mount it and got this response:
[CODE]matthew@matthew-laptop:~$ sudo mount /media/sdb
[sudo] password for matthew:
mount: can't find /media/sdb in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab[/CODE]
I tried to fdsk it and got this:
[CODE]matthew@matthew-laptop:~$ sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
last_lba(): I don't know how to handle files with mode 40755
You will not be able to write the partition table.
Unable to read /dev/sdb[/CODE]
The last thing that I tried was mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb2:
[CODE]matthew@matthew-laptop:~$ mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb2
mkfs.vfat 2.11 (12 Mar 2005)
]/dev/sdb2: No such file or directory[/CODE]
Any input would help would be greatly appreciated.

Could use help dual booting windows 8 and ubuntu 13.04

I have a Lenovo G580 with windows 8 + Ubuntu 13.04 installed. I've been trying to get Dual-boot to work for the past few hours with no success. I've been following this guide. After setting up the partitions similar to the ones in the guide i downloaded easyBCD on windows 8. I then added Ubuntu 13.04 to the grub menu. When i restart my laptop i get the menu with lenovo recovery, windows 8, and Ubuntu(not Ubuntu 13.04 like i labeled) when clicking Ubuntu it says windows failed to load, insert media for recovery. I can't do anything to access Ubuntu at this point. I don't know what it is i'm doing wrong but could use some help. Below are some pictures of the process. I'll post any needed info that i may have forgotten. When choosing OS it's in uefi mode.

How to Install the Forms and Reports 6i in Ubuntu 6.06 LTS

Dear All,
I need to install Forms and Reports 6i in Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.
I had downloaded the d2k6irelease2.tar also and extracted the tar file.
I don't know how to start up with the installation further., Is there any document available for the installation process inubuntu.. or what are the steps that i need to follow to make it work..?
Many thanks in advance...

Hi,
Here's the Forms and Reports Services Deployment Guide for OAS 10g 10.1.2:
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_11/web.1012/b14032/toc.htm
You will need to modify your default.env to point to the directory where your .fmx is located and formsweb.cfg to run the specific form, e.g. foo.fmx (default is test.fmx).
HTH,
Jim
