@msPeachy If everything works at night after repeated reboots, but then you get grub2 errors and filesystem/fsck errors in the morning, it isn't a software problem...
@msPeachy In all seriousness, the problem is not Grub, or Ubuntu, but the fact that your hard drive is dying. You can blame the doctors and say the medicines don't work, but ultimately, hard drive death is a fact of digital life.

I just install Ubuntu 12.04. I want to change the boot order of grub. Previous versions of grub.cfg I was able to change the permissions and the do a gedit. After reloading 12.04, I was able to change permissions for grub.cfg, but gedit will not let me save it. I am a little irritated that Ubuntu...
@msPeachy it's interesting, but not the same to set up/manage at all. start with something simpler like PCBSD...then when you understand the package management stuff, ports tree, etc and have a weekend to keep going back to "the manual" for configuring - try FreeBSD
Localized close: cat removed USB drive, didn't work, now "rebooted and is now working and I can now access my server again from another computer via the web":
I had a perfectly working Ubuntu Server system with U12.4 and Server installed and was setting up the mail system.
When I was absent from my computer room my cat (furry type) apparently got to play with a USB dongle on an extension cable and removed it.
The system went berserk and now will not ...
I have Windows 7 as my main host OS, and then i installed Wubi Ubuntu 11.04. Later to this i installed a partition Ubuntu 11.10 ( beta 2).
So altogether i have Windows 7, 11.04 (Wubi) 11.10 beta 2
Now basically what I want to do is move some files from the wubi installation via a USB and move ...
I have an LG Optimus One P500 and am using Ubuntu 12.04. Has anyone tried syncing the contacts between P500 and 12.04? I did search on the internet, but couldn't find much.
You must never use wubi (the windows installer). It has a lot of issues like no hibernation, slower data I/O rate, etc.
Download the Ubuntu iso.
Create a partition in Windows allocating at least 20 GB HDD space for Linux.

The answer is pretty negative and advises users against using Wubi

@nitstorm I friendly-ed it up a bit (I prefer as opposed to you must never)...because I sort of agree, but I don't upgoat if I have to edit to friendly something.
I am black. Put stuff in a sack. The base is under attack. We don't be takin' no flack. To beat this would be a hack. So I be takin' it back. For this game I gotta a nack. Must be on some kinda crack.
there's a really handy python wrapper. i'ld never done anything with it until i started considering something for app-showdown and it was really simple
JSONP basically is the same thing only prefixed by a function call and returned with the application/javascript MIME type:
callback({
'something': 'value for something'
});
The need for JSONP arises from the cross-domain restrictions placed on client-side JavaScript to prevent cross-domain attacks.
Because the browser will happily load scripts from any domain, the JSONP request injects the <script> on to the page, and because it's basically a function call, that function is invoked with the results of the request.
I know exactly what you're talking about. A year and a half ago, I sat down to write my first line of C# code. Three days later I had written a multithreaded bot that used a JSON API to fetch data and tweet it to Twitter, using OAuth for authentication.
It's amazing what you can do when you force yourself to do it.
@RolandTaylor There are only three kinds of people. Those who will always use ruby. Those who haven't realised how awesome python is. And those with quasi-religious devotion to python.
the configuration tab has all the command-lines that get run to do things with an add-new button. this way jrg could add a ruby template if he wanted... take it all back to tying together scripts/commands and it magically works
You will need to boot into recovery mode, then issue apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-installer sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-current on the root option) Then run the original NVIDIA drivers, and select the command line at the bottom: blacklist nouveau.
talk to people about things you're working on/problems you're having...sometimes it digresses quite a bit. it's more active than a lot of places though
@user75798 if you don't have an upload button you could always just upload to imgur and dump a link directly to the image. it's all that really happens anyway
I found a very cool tool yesterday for doing screenshot stuff - shutter - it is in the repositories - it has lots of features, but I haven't used it properly yet - do you know it?
I cannot see an upload button in chat.
Why is this? Maybe you require a certain amount of reputation to get this feature. How much do you need?
The fixed font button is missing, too.
Perhaps it should be listed as a privilege in this page.
nope. i just answered questions mostly. i've asked more questions possibly that i knew the answer to recently to try and build the useful knowledge-base of the site
@user75798 well, the content all becomes creative commons (free-ish with attribution). but parts of the engine that serves it up are not. so it's awkward. it's just a complex moral ground
This worked for me and I am running VirtualBox 4.1.8 and Ubuntu 11.10.
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-guest-utils virtualbox-ose-guest-x11 virtualbox-ose-guest-dkms
Found it on this site under a slightly different question Higher screen resolution in VirtualBox?
'it is a comment and adds very little to the answer' <-- my reason for rejecting the edit
@user75798 I like the QA format because it provides atomized knowledge. UF is interesting in that it allows freedom of discussion. I have more than once cited UF in an answer on AU though

A fellow on ubuntuforums thinks it's the 2010_0709_RT2870_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.1.tar.bz2 that will work for that stick.
I can't test it, but it compiles fine for me.

@aking1012 For example, there are free software clones of the Stack Exchange software. Do you think that this software could well handle discussions, instead of just Q & A?
I don't think that's what a voting based platform is built for. If there were a chat module for them...then maybe. Discussion in chat, then a modular/atomic answer.
I'm working on a clone of the Stack Exchange chat. Many of the UI aspects of the SE chat are cloned entirely. The back-end, I'm guessing, is very different.
While I don't, of course, use a single line of code from Stack Exchange, and I know there are no legal problems in what I'm doing, I want t...

While i don't have much rep on AU, another thing is to try to answer a question a day. If you can't, you need to work on your skills (as i do). if you do, you get a solid average amount of rep.
