I've a new Dell Inspiron special edition with Intel® Core™ i7-3612QM and Ati Radeon HD 7730M. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 in dual boot with Windows 7.
Yesterday after a kernel upgrade from 3.2.0-26 to 3.2.0-27, Ubuntu doesn't boot anymore. I see the grub and when selecting "Ubuntu with Linux 3.2.0-...
I've experienced a similar problem after upgrading to 3.2.0-27 kernel. I could select which kernel to boot from in grub but can only boot completely via recovery.
What I did was boot up into 3.2.0-26 recovery, removed 3.2.0-27 as well as the graphics driver. After rebooting, I picked 3.2.0-26 ge...
Hey guess what... Now i have to reinstall Ubuntu xD i think im going to go for 11.10 or 10.04 xD which one do you guys recommend
@MatthewKaulfers what? just do a boot repair with the install disk and install whatever linux you want after you've had some time to become not irritated
and unfortunately in my PC's current state there isn't any way for me to get to cmd to remove the sp1 and if I did then I would have a whole boat load of registry issues to repair. xD easier to reinstall. Wasn't anything important on this machine anway
I have one lol I run a computer repair business xD

I am simply trying to pass the time while I am waiting for this thing to install then I have to reinstall drivers. Then to install ubuntu I have to completely remove Nvidia graphics card <--- anyone know why I have to do this?
Can you answer this? My computer ejects the CD while loading Ubuntu for install http://askubuntu.com/questions/166399/my-computer-ejects-the-cd-while-loading-ubuntu-for-install?atw=1 #installation
i suppose it's to encourage only bountying worthwhile questions
you know...keep people from bountying things as a way of saying "answer me now!" instead of "someone needs to get points because this is hard" subjective opinion
@ObsessiveFOSS You may want to ask this on meta. But I think this explains the reasoning behind that Stack Exchange design decision. "Give the community a chance to answer your question normally first." Questions should start out equal. A bounty is something to use when the system doesn't work otherwise.
@MatthewKaulfers I never edit, only posted three questions, I don't have a lot of problems, I know how to do everything I NEED, and a lot of what I want. Now answering wise, I just don't have those problems, nor do I have an immediate solution, and my ideas I feel are better spent at work than spending my entire day answering posts that other people will in the end answer or at least bounty. I also use an entire different architecture than most, PowerPC.
@Flabricorn fair point...but sometimes a question prompts an app. like lenstoggle for a question here... or bumping the version on aircrack from universe to get it to a precise repo
The one's with many thousands rep, and @aking1012 See? I'm not experienced enough to answer that question, I could probably look it up on the Internet, but then I think that the people I work for would feel I'm wasting my time.
@aking1012 I feel as if you're mocking me. :) I only halfway understand what you've said, and that's why my rep doesn't help me climb the ladder of open source success.
I AM learning, however at a slower pace than some.
think of the ruby railscast with "gather up all your jars" and the fact that you're supposed to dump jars wherever they're needed with java. now look at repositories. you're supposed to do source only builds and manage file dependencies so things get added and removed properly. they're opposite ways to manage things. trying to make them agree can be difficult
I already figured out a couple ways to slip compiled binaries past debuild, but I shouldn't have to. Anyway, you see my point. It's an internal conflict. Do I make things easy to install? Or do I help impose limitations on users for ideological/stability reasons?
I have just installed Ubuntu 12.04, along with the updates, and then installed Mame via apt-get.
The installation went fine, but now when I run it I get "Illegal Instruction - Core Dumped".
Any ideas?
There should be a tree-view for AU as a wiki-ish thing. Think distribution, application, issue/configuration/installation, tree-items. It would be way easier to navigate
@JorgeCastro just a note. i prefer to DO it your way, but i think it would help people seeking information the other (possibly people that aren't very good at searches or google-fu)
good point. that's not magic tag maintenance though
for it to work, every indexed question would have to have either an issue/configuration/index tag, a distribution or universal tag, and an application tag. it would be a lot like a tree-view for launchpad bug-trackers i guess. anyway. lots of ideas on how things could work.
I just asked a question related to "avconv" and I was surprised that the tag for it did not exist. I do not have enough reputation to create a tag. I posted the question with "ffmpeg" tag instead.
Would request anyone who is reading this to create a tag : avconv.
You may even consider to make ff...

In earlier versions of Ubuntu (10.10-) there was an option in the "open with" tab in the properties window, to add a custom command to open a file. However, this is no longer the case in Ubuntu 11.10. Is there any way that I can add these file type associations with a command of my choice rather ...
Aha i know why I was having so many issues with ubuntu now. It was because I used the wubi installer and it wouldn't work with graphics card in and then i went ahead and removed it from the PC and installed. Now this time I used a USB stick and didn't use the wubi did a clean install and now the installation looks waaay different. Cool beans xD
I am looking for certification on Ubuntu server technology or possibly Debian (as long as its supplied by Canonical, is that even possible?) which Ubuntu is based on.
Is there such a thing provided by Canonical? In what regions are these services available? Can someone get Ubuntu training and ce...
@BrunoPereira there was a recent link/question on that one, but it linked to a wiki page that noted the information was out-dated and black-holed to a general page
I can certify you, granted no one will recognize the certification, so certifications are only as good as the company that offer them, and If the company you work for wants the certification. certification.comptia.org/getCertified/certifications/…
@mateo_salta well, I am fishing at the moment for a new work environment and I can tell that most companies will be looking for a RHCE as a pre for working with RH / Centos, I know that certification is only worth something to those who seek it (your right on that one), but why the heck not?
@mateo_salta yeah, I am sure that what you said is true, I have found only a few companies that ask for "debian" experience, but to proof that you are at least familiar with different distros and are able to work alone, via a certificate, would be nice ;)
afaik LPI tried to focus on agnostic stuff and it led to a bunch of crap questions...maximum ram for x86 with and without PAE, maximum number of processors and the like
here's installation media and an internet connection. in 4 hours we need a mail server with 10 email addresses, 3 booting workstations where you can't change system settings, and nfs shared home. good-luck
