Fri, 16 May 2008 11:31:27 GMT

Package: linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic Version: 2.6.22-14.52 Severity: important Every morning, without fail, I cannot boot my Athlon 64 x2 machine. Grub loads fine, and launches the kernel. Then the boot sequence dies (Kernel Panic with various different types of message, 'tried to kill init' is popular, but there are myriad others) or just hangs; the keyboard is dead and I have no option but to do a hard ...

Xsane and Lexmark X1270

Fri, 16 May 2008 10:29:38 GMT

Hi, I am installing Ubuntu in my company and I am surprised that the solution for Xsane to be compatible with Lexmark all-in-one Scanner X1270 is not integrated. I tried it on Gutsy and now on Hardy. It works. Without this, le scanner is still inoperant. The solution is on the website : http://www.indexdata.com.br/Linux/Drivers/Impressoras/LexMark/ What is the way to make this fix official because this ...

Upgrading an IPv6-only host?

Fri, 16 May 2008 07:18:50 GMT

Hi there. We have an IPv6 -only host. That is, it doesn't have an IPv4 address. I want to upgrade it - but it seems all the upgrade sites are IPv4 only. So - how do I upgrade this host? Are there any IPv6 apt sources around?

Why so big?

Thu, 15 May 2008 23:58:37 GMT

I loaded this Ubuntu system with a Live CD which was close to 700 MBytes. It has been updated a lot and is the Gutsy version. I was just checking and the hard drive has 6,796,024,000 Bytes now!

Screen Resolution Change Using GUI Not Working

Thu, 15 May 2008 23:43:43 GMT

I am trying to modify my screen resolution by GUI. I am in Gutsy, updated to today. I go to System>Preferences>Screen Resolution. I go through the three choices on the window and click apply. Nothing happens to the resolution and the timer starts timing out to accept previous resolution. I need to change the resolution of my monitor. Small print is bad for old eyes. I have read the help linked to the resolution window, it did ...

from fedora to ubuntu

Thu, 15 May 2008 23:33:29 GMT

Hi; After many years on Fedora and Redhat, I am considering jumping ship. My immediate concern of course is how quickly I can get up to speed with ubuntu. Is there a document that details fundamental differences for folks coming from fedora? For example, can I use yum out of the box? More importantly is the location of key files and directories off /etc, etc. [pun intended]. Thanks nat -- ubuntu-users mailing ...

Turn off autorun on dvd's

Thu, 15 May 2008 23:24:12 GMT

Hi! How do you turn off autorun of dvd's so it doesn't start the movie player? I looked under 'removable drivers and media' but can't find any options there. I got it to work under Ubuntu 7.10 but after a fresh install of 8.04 I can't get it to work. -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users ...

Help I get loading error

Thu, 15 May 2008 21:03:22 GMT

I have done the CD. If I do an install from the CD and check it from the disk it says it has no errors. However, if I try to install with Windows and put the disk in, I at first tried with 30 rather than 15 onto drive D:. It goes through the stuff then reaches the load thing of 733 rather than 731 then seems to just loop. Runs through it, but doesn't give opportunity to go to next. I have tried resetting at the default of 15, though ...

hardy apt-file error

Thu, 15 May 2008 20:56:56 GMT

Hello, I installed hardy last night, and in my excitement, I edited the /etc/apt/sources.lst file because I cannot use the software sources applet with orca. Now when I try to run apt-file update, I get an error saying that apt-file cannot read one of the repository files headers. Is there somewhere I can get a default hardy /etc/apt/sources.lst file to go back to ground 0? -- ubuntu-users mailing ...

hdc: Drive not ready for command

Thu, 15 May 2008 20:34:48 GMT

Hello, I am running an up-to-date copy of Ubuntu 8.04 on an IBM Thinkpad R30. The issue I'm having is the boot up and running of the OS is very slow and the hard drive light on the laptop goes solid during the Ubuntu start up and stays solid after that, even without any actual hard drive activity going on. I switched over to another terminal during boot and I see the follow line intercut with the regular start up messages multiple ...

Hi, I'm running Vinagre VNC, which seems ok, except when I hit ctrl-n in Emacs, for example, VNC tries to intercept it. Is there some way to control, or turn this off?

Change Server to Static IP without GUI

Thu, 15 May 2008 14:34:42 GMT

When I set up my server I set it up so it would get a dynamic address. Now I want to change it to a static address. What file do I have to go to to change it? I do not have a GUI, just command line. (I know how to do it with the GUI, but the server does not have it.) Anything I need to watch out for?
