It's recommended that you configure Ubuntu to download, update, or upgrade packages from the main server rather than using location-based servers. You can do this as follows:
I have set up hardware raid 1 with two SAS drives using the Adptec 6405E controller. I am having a problem when installing Ubuntu 10.04 LTS as it hangs at 43 % when partitioning disk drives. So far my Googling suggests that Ubuntu does not scan raided drives well. What can I do to finish my inst...
I was sort of happy when I saw that the day after release we had 0 incoming new questions in the review queue! Aww man, nothing for me to do, everyone's taken care of all the incoming questions! Then I investigated by just manually reviewing the 12.10 tag.
Many are missing any kind of informatio...
While playing Nexuiz on my Ubuntu in fullscreen mode the volume control buttons on my laptop don't work at all, externally after minimizing the game increasing/decreasing the sound solves the problem but there is no in-game vol control?
Also when on headphones the game music plays on the laptop s...

when i went to run my sanity checks, the 2tb external i was going to crack open and drop in there was complaining.. now it just refuses to do much of anything
@MarcoCeppi: Ah, just the fellow I was looking for. We have a question for you. We were planning to switch over to Django (from WordPress) for the 2buntu blog.
Other family members use this machine sometimes so it's anybody's guess :P
I need a new optical drive - or I need to get this one cleaned. It's not recognizing stuff I've burned (stuff that another machine recognizes no-problem).
Having tried all day to reinstall grub and trawling the internet I have had no luck. I can no longer boot into ubuntu and have tried boot disk frin yannubuntu but the grub tabs are greyed out.

I was trying to decide if I should upgrade to Ubuntu 12.10 from my current 12.04 LTS. There are many reviews around the internet regarding the new features of Ubuntu 12.10 and I enjoy some of them, but I wouldn't upgrade if those features were brought to Ubuntu 12.04 later.

@GeorgeEdison yeah, i had to go searching for dos 6.02 installation media the first time i installed linux then upgrade to 6.22 for some software i had at the time after thoroughly borking my first install.

well, the first thing was getting just the cables pressed. then the usb to controller bit. that way you could simplify RW slaving or get the "forensics pack" with the read only neon yellow cables or whatever
i know right...if you sold it modularly and as packs (like the ide to laptop ide adapter board that markets for 10 usd). just put it all in one place. make.it.simple.
they are HORRIFYINGLY SIMPLE. it's like one or two disconnected pins. saying it's horribly complicated is ridiculous. if the controller does some readback test i could see where that cable would cause a problem, but i can't see ALL off the shelf IDE/SATA controllers requiring a readback test or reading at all
i understand. there's a balance that is always found between the expense of litigation and perceived benefit. electricians are cheap, so i think it would skew the balance and rightly so
i thought the frying pan thing was a frying pan in to the fire joke...it was wasn't it? (i didn't take any points in humor while i was building my character)
