[ubuntu-uk] Upgrade woes

2010-10-11 Thread Barry Titterton
I have just tried to upgrade my sickly install of 10.04 to 10.10. The
install process failed just after half way when it threw up a window
which appeared to be asking me what I wanted to do with my modified
version of GRUB2. This window was positioned behind the progress window,
and I could only see the top quarter of the window, which contained a
drop down list of options of what to do with my current version of GRUB.
The bottom three quarters of the window were hidden so I could not
select any 'Accept' button. I was unable to move either window to one
side, nor shrink either window. The install stopped at this point and my
only option was to press the power button. My computer is now dead. I
shall have to download the ISO and try a fresh install.

Please note that I had added boot options to GRUB in an effort to solve
my reliability problems in 10.04.

Has anyone else seen this problem? I do not know if this is a bug that
needs filing, or another symptom of my faulty install of 10.04.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Banks and Ubuntu support for business users

2010-10-11 Thread michael
I had this problem once when I upgraded to a beta of the next version of 
firefox.

The website refused to let me in due to the browser not being recognised 
and being a possible security issue.

One quick install of the User Agent Switcher plugin and pretending to be 
a different browser problem was solved.

Have had no problems recently with the banks but The Freemans mail order 
website has now decided to deny me use of the checkout facility even 
though it was fine last week.

Oh to live the life of a software outlaw in the eyes of businesses.

Whoops, that was me, sorry.  I think that I started entering a Reply,
saw that it was going to the previous individual rather than the list
(as someone had copied me rather than just sending it to the list) so
I pasted in the ubuntu mailing list address.  Unfortunately I put the

even more people.

They do have!!  And the problem still occurs.  I'm booting from the SATA
drive partition that appears as /dev/sdb1, and for some weird reason,
automount then tries to mount the partition that is on /dev/sda at '/'
where the boot filesystem (at /dev/sdb1) is already mounted    makes
no sense at all to me, and I know the problem would not be there if I
booted from the IDE drive in the caddy.  Still, Glen's solution works OK
for me.  

The saga began when my wife's computer died and I gave her the one I
mentioned.  I put a caddy in so I could swap between her old IDE drive,
and a storage drive that I could also swap with my computers. Eventually
when I know she no longer needs to access her old drive, I'll swap it
for a SATA caddy  but in the meantime, it's doing what I need it to
to do.

That shouldn't be the case. I have 2 IDE hard disks on my primary IDE
channel & 2 DVD burners on my secondary, with no issues. Most of my
PCs have had multiple drives - some up to 6 HDs + 3 CDs - and I do not
have any PCs with SATA.

Not the case since about 1995 with the appearance of Intel's 82430
"Triton" chipset for the original Pentium. Since that appeared, almost
everything (apart from one or 2 really rubbish SIS chipsets, for
instance) has supported busmastering on IDE, which means overlapped
IO, as I understand it. The 82430HX and 82430VX chipset's PIIX2
controller allowed 2 different IDE devices on a single channel to
operate at different speeds, as well, so one can be (say) PIO4 and one
UDMA2, without conflict.

I'd just make sure the drives in the caddy had distinctive labels on
all their partitions, myself! :¬)

I think Steve is making a confession here (he doesn't use it), rather
than an order! :-)

Also, I think it's called 'nm-applet' with just 1 T.

OK, let's give it a try and see how we get on. There are a couple of
cafe/bars in Heaton Moor with free WiFi and probably other places away
from the town centre, so we could consider moving to one of those at
some time. Although, they do tend to get crowded at 3pm on a Saturday
afternoon!

(And when O2 decide to release Android 2.2 on my phone in a way that
does not turn it into a brick, I'll be able to enjoy the delights of
tethering!)

Hi Barry,

Glad that helps. I would guess that the Automounter is having trouble 
with 2 drives on one IDE channel. It should be /dev/hdb1 (the DVD drive 
should be /dev/hda) You should remember, too, that if you have 2 devices 
working simultaneously on one IDE controller will result in 
significantly degraded performance (essentially, the controller can only 
use one device at a time).

The automounter's really more set up for hot-swappable drives. Another 
solution might be to use IDE=>USB cases, but it sounds like you're 
sorted. Glad so.

Hello Alan,
Sorry, this has been a long thread - there are two Ubuntu workshops - one
run by Paula on Tuesday 12th at

on Wednesday 13th at UCL .
We are helping each other out with our respective workshops.  If anyone else

Ubuntu mounts removable drives (really, any not in /etc/fstab)
in /media/LABEL. LABEL is either the filesystem label, the word "disk",
or UUID.

I'm guessing that the problem is that one of your other drives is
mounting on /media/disk and your IDE drive wants the same location.
Ubuntu usually tries to mount on /media/disk-1 in such a case, but I
don't have enough information to be sure.

However, what you might try doing is giving the filesystem on the IDE
drive a new label. How to do it depends on the filesystem. For ext2/3/4
and FAT, the commands are:

sudo tune2fs -L newlabel /dev/sdb1
sudo dosfslabel /dev/sdb1 newlabel

Once it has a different label, it should auto-mount on another
directory.

-- What happens in Ubuntu when you do sfdisk -s /dev/hdb (or whatever 
the IDE hard drive comes up as)

You should be able to have it mount by putting in fstab:

/dev/hdb1/path/to/mountpoint defaults00

the old school way

Obviously, it needs to be the right /dev path. And this assumes that the 
filesystems are always the same. (you have to replace  with 
ext4/vfat/ntfs/whatever)

I don't intend hot-swapping.  I shut down, change the caddy and re-boot.
It has to be IDE for compatibility with what I have already.

I would expect it to be same as on windows except the config is in
~/.config/google-chrome

To purge it
sudo apt-get purge google-chrome
but check man apt-get before doing anything like this just in case you
are being given duff info.

Google would have given you this information much quicker than asking here.

[ubuntu-uk] IDE drive mounting ....

2010-10-11 Thread Barry Drake
Here's an interesting one for you.  I have a PC with a motherboard that
has 6xSATA ports and one IDE port.  I've put two SATA drives in plus an
IDE DVD-R drive and an IDE drive caddy (as slave and master) so I can
swap storage drives between three desktop pcs.

One of the SATA drives is Windows 2000.  When I boot this, it finds and
mounts all drives with no problem.

Ubuntu 10.10 finds all the drives OK but refuses to mount the IDE hard
drive saying it already has a drive mounted at the same mount point.
The only way I can mount the IDE drive is to put a line in /etc/fstab
that tells it to mount UUID=[UUID of the drive I'm going to use].  This
allows it to work just fine, but is a bit of a pain, as I have to
edit /etc/fstab before I re-boot with a different drive.  If it finds
the wrong drive, ubuntu hangs during the boot when it tries to mount the
drive that has gone!

Currently I have all the drives I want to swap (four in number)
in /etc/fstab so I comment out the ones that aren't there.

Any thoughts?

Regards,Barry Drake.

Google for   google chrome profile   yields many hits, alternatively
you could uninstall and purge google-chrome and re-install it.  That

Do not use XFCE, but can you launch from alt+f2 run box or "nm-applett &" in
a terminal, no quotes.  Look for somewhere to add it as a start-up item.

Sorry I didnt notice your post about the version I was using. As soon as

[ubuntu-uk] London release party - Thank you

2010-10-11 Thread John Stevenson
Hello all,
Thanks to everyone that came along to the London Ubuntu release party
yesterday, despite a problem getting into the venue due to a broken lock, it
was a great event and a good turn out with over 35 people upstairs and about
the same again for the 42day party goers downstairs.  It was a full house,
so may need to find a bigger venue next time!!

Special thanks to the Matt Zimmerman  and the
rest of the release team for doing a great job with the release and still
having the energy to come along to the release party, it was great to meet
and talk to you all and I had some very interesting talks with members of
the design team.

Once I get my energy back from all the talks and conferences I've been to in
the last two weeks I'll do a write up of the event and update the report
page.  I have some (hopefully okay) pictures taken on my phone which I'll
upload to flickr this week too.

Looking forward to the next release party.

Thank you.

If the petsathome site is completely awful HTML then that's rather a
