when /etc is 777 or deleted ssh does not work. mysql is dead (/etc/my.cnf) ssh is picky about permissions because you gave public read access to your private key files.
I have tried many burning the ubuntu 12.04 iso file on to a dvd but it always fails to do so. The windows burner displays an error while burning. No problem with the iso as i have checked its integrity. Please someone suggest an alternative way of installation.
i tried installing from a usb but i...
@Seth If not using WUBI - which 13.04 does not... because it can not... then make unallocated space using Windows Disk Management. After booting to live cd make your partitions for Ubuntu using the unallocated space.
Which would be root, boot, home and swap if not using the default installer. thingy.
Allowed, unless it's a) very likely to change until release or b) related to the nature of an ubuntu+1 (f.e. "when will the next beta be released?") - afair.
This obviously changes back to what it used to be, once 13.04 is released.
@guntbert Please do take opportunity to clarify. Basically OT. "This obviously changes back to what it used to be, once 13.04 is released" and the viewing the amount of questions in main and meta may indicate there is no stance!?
I have not been visiting askubuntu for a while and was now confronted with OpenID.
I will never be able to remember a password from 8 unique digits with upper and lower characters and special characters! I am sure I will ask them to reset my password every time I want to login...
Is it possible ...
If you login for first time, you should see alternative options for login instead registering. Is that possible that all of alternatives (OpenID, Facebook, etc) synched to one account?
My sony vaio VPCEH27FD (E series) will not sleep after I close the lid, it stays on i can hear the fan and hard drive on, when i wake it up sometimes it wont respond and I have to force power off. Please help ;'( I really want to stay on ubuntu.
Usually the stance is "It's off-topic, because it constantly changes and it is unlikely to be helpful in the future (because these versions will never exist again)"
Shortly prior to a new version, we allow questions on those - because they are now unlikely to change that much, and they're essentially released already.

@guntbert This is an issue that existed before. There is probably both an old Q on it and a bug on Launchpad.
And, in general, it looks like a bug - in that case it's off-topic regardless of version.
After some updates recently, Youtube videos now run extremely jerkily. Almost like they are swimming in superglue. It also slows my computer down to a speed akin to a snail on diazepam. Running Ubuntu 12.04.01 and using Google Chrome Version 26.0.1410.63.
Firefox seems to run videos fine, but it...
Looks like it. But on that one, the question could just be looking for "what causes this?" rather than "how to fix this?", so I, personally, would keep it. Would need an answer along the lines of "apparently there is a bug in Chrome, as reported [here]".
"How to fix {bug}?" is bad. "What causes {problem}?" with answer "It's a bug." is ... well, not good, but should only be closed with a bug report located, if at all.
Story: I was given a couple old pentium 4 computers so I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on one thinking (this is where i go wrong) it would be "fun" to add a file server to my home network, while I enjoy a challenge this endeavor has just become a joke and a total waste of my weekend.
I am not looking ...
@TheLordofTime Maybe give an answer to give examples of how hugely advantageous it is to be using Ubuntu? Make a negative a positive. ? Maybe explaining open source is not free (in cost) as it involves a lot collaboration, time and effort as well as resources which are openly shared. Shift it to meta?
"You should only ask practical, answerable questions based on actual problems that you face. Chatty, open-ended questions diminish the usefulness of our site and push other questions off the front page."

I need to re-run the network configuration, as everything has changed. How can I re-run the auto-configuration?
This is on 12.04 Server
