Can anyone recommend a disk partitioner for formatting to NTFS, please?

I think (but am not certain) that VLC will do that.

Hello,

this is a newbie question, which I'm sure I know the answer to, but simply need a little reassurance!

I've received a virus alert in my email which apparently when opened will delete my...

Hello,

Would someone be able to tell me the benefits of using Firestarter, or indeed any firewall, please? I understand that Linux doesn't need anti virus software, but don't quite understand the...

Fantastic! Thanks for this, especially as it looks so good.

Hi, I've recently installed Lucid on a dual boot of my Vista machine. All went well until I got to the screen where I can select Ubuntu/memory test/Vista and found there was no vista available! I...

Hi,
Not sure if this is the right place, but here goes.

I did a fresh install of 9.10 to an external HDD where grub2 was obviously written. Now I can only boot into Vista (on my internal HDD)...

Yes, as previously mentioned, copy your files then download Ubuntu 9.10. Burn it to a CD (preferably CD-R) and checksum before and check for defects after. Then put it into the CD drive and press...

Might I suggest that you do a fresh install? It might be better to start at a clean installation than correct an installation that's corrupted. Regards.

Hi,

I use Ubuntu and Vista, and at present run Yahoo mail to send/receive email. However, I've become disillusioned with it, and having tried and not liked gmail (hotmail is not a valid...

Thanks to you both, much appreciated! Regards.

Hi,

I want to buy a couple of MP4 players for my kids, whilst travelling in the car. IPods abound, but I'd rather not use one, so can anyone recommend a 8GB, or greater, MP4 player please, and...

Well done for making that decision. If you follow the other thread you'll have no problems installing. However, a small word of caution: I too deleted everything MS and then found I needed it for...

Since my last post I removed all things Virtualbox, and then reinstalled Virtualbox 2.0 using the download and not the repository. It's working fine now. So in answer to your question; I don't know...

I've tried all of these suggestions but to no avail. However, when inputting /etc/init.d/vboxdrv status the following output is given;
Virtualbox kernel module is not loaded. Does this mean I...

The first screenshot shows what happens when I run the first command; the second when I administer id. I'm still having exactly the same errors come up.

As I understand it - and of course, I may be wrong - but Windows prefers to be the on the first partition. When I tried to boot from Windows on a secondary partition it failed until I reversed the...

Hi,

I've read somewhere that Absolute Beginner Talk is where to post on problems with Intrepid. If this isn't the case perhaps a mod will move it?

Forgive me if I've not got this completely clear - if anything sounds dodgy please re-post - but you want to install/boot Ubuntu onto something without an OS? Essentially, you'll need to boot from a...

Upper speed is set by the drive, but set the burn to run at the lowest speed to ensure accurate transfer, and then do checksum.

I personally have tried Ubuntu 8.04 and found that it ceases to load at various points on a 1GB. However, have a go but I feel it will probably fail and you'll need at least a 2GB drive - which...

Thank you, both. I didn't realise that Unix based web hosting made up approximately 50% of the market. It shouldn't be too difficult to find a suitable host now.

Bump? Linux - not just Ubuntu - is certainly acceptable.

Hi,

I hope I'm posting this in the correct place.

I'm looking for an Ubuntu based web host, preferably free, but if not, for a minimal monthly fee. I don't have the time to learn HTML at...
