How do I select the drive to install on to on the "Installation Type" page of the Ubuntu installer? You can highlight one in the tree that it shows, but there's no indication that it will actually install to one or the other.
@MayukhNair Just to be clear, 'don't use' means that it will not be modified? I have two drives, one with Windows and another empty one. I don't want to modify anything about my current setup (including the boot record), just to add a separate bootloader and Ubuntu installation on a separate drive.
Really, most of this questions are about either:
xorg
xserver
mir
unity
other DM
Alone this tag doesn't tell what the question is about, and there are already tags that fit within that specific category.
After having edited the question and created an appropriate answer I flagged the comment

This flag was declined, the comment is still there - was that a mistake or purposeful?
The localhost has been on the burner for some time now. Users that know the term, will know that it is the name of the system itself, a network loopback. In the last 30 days, nobody answered any of those questions and nobody seems to continuously use the tag. It should just get removed as it get ...
@AvinashRaj kind of ambiguous of a question considering i dont know if the partition itself is completly gone, or what. And we don't normally do support in AU chat.
@AvinashRaj join #ubuntu on irc.freenode.net and I'll try to help guide you through mounting a chroot to recover your /boot
@xiaodongjie - dont ask for support in here. This is not a proper support channel. Use irc.freenode.net #ubuntu for support related questions, or patiently wait for your question to be answered. Thanks
No, its not bad to ask for assistance with a question - but repeat posting is seen as spam, and typically results in responses like the one sent above ^
@lazyPower Hm, never known that rule. You can do support here if you want. Or you can create a new room if you feel bad about it. (Not saying you can't use irc however)
@lazyPower Well they might have. We do support here all the time. If it is going to be a big task it is a better idea to move it to your own room, but unless you start causing problems helping people here is fine :)
@AvinashRaj You need to mount with a LiveUSB. if you still have the EXT3 partition around, you chroot into your system, and reinstall grub. There's posts on AU about reinstalling grub and recovering a broken bootable system.
@xiaodongjie bzr push lp:~userid/project-name/branch-name and here's the documentation on the rest: http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/beta/en/tutorials/using_bazaar_with_launchpad.html
@AvinashRaj if the parition is no longer around you will need to add the partition to your disk again. If its there but "unallocated" you can simply reformat it, add the boot flag, and re: my instructions above.
@AvinashRaj if for some reason you cannot re-create that parition, you will need to invest some time in learning how to boot a system from grub on USB. And thats beyond my skill set at 1 am.
I have Ubuntu both as guest and as host. I use VirtualBox 4, just downloaded from the official repository. After installing the guest extensions, I got this strange problem:
When I activate the resizable screen mode with Host + C, the GNOME desktop won't resize with the screen. Only the wallpape...
I am not able to activate Num Lock on Ubuntu 14.04. I installed Leafpad and gksu. Thereafter I ran the command:
gksudo leafpad /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
An empty file opened, and I wrote:

On reboot the system refused to work, and I reinstalled Ubunt...
USB Desktop Coffeemaker This one is decidedly less complicated. As far as calorie savers go, however, you can bank on saving at least 8 by not walking to the kitchen and back. Plus if you're only in the market for one cup, you won't have to make a whole pot. Yup, the reasons to have one of these just keep piling up. Have they made a USB milk frother yet? They have not. $31.39 from firebox.com
@Rinzwind that's only for coffee warmers. there seems to be a gap for usb controlled coffeepots. NEW ARDUINO PROJECT. definitely a gap that needs to be closed...
@Takkat The coffeepot is definitely easier and more practical. On freeze behavior would more logically be that scene from Elysium where the probation officer automaton says "Elevated levels of aggression detected... Would you like a pill?" cabinet flips open
Previously, I have installed Windows 7 on my 320 GB laptop with three partitions 173, 84 and 63 GB each. The 63 GB partition was where the Windows was installed. The rest were for file containers.
Now I changed my OS to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I installed Ubuntu by replacing the entire Windows 7 on th...
