I hate NM applet, I'd rather stick with the command.

I'm downloading ubuntu 7.04 rite now and this is my first time venturing into linux.I am really keen on trying it out but now i have a single hdd with no partition whatsoever.How do i install my ubuntu without the need of reformatting my hdd which currently is only on one partition which is drive C.

Thanks for helpin me out.

I'm currently using Xubuntu 7.04 with MySQL PHP5 and Apache2 installed.

I think I'm experiencing memory leaking from one of the aboved mentioned software package.

Before are graphs I've recorded between system crashes from the memory leak.

System Load:


Processes:


Memory Usasge: (I have 256mb of ram, the graph displayed the value incorrectly as 'K' should be 'M')


The empty part of the graph is due to rebooting from previous crash and crashing again.

The system didn't exactly crashed. With all the physical and swap memory used up, the system became so unresponsive that it was unusable.

Anyway for me to track the cause of the problem?

What is your current OS? Windows XP?
Might have to repartition it though.

With just 256MB of RAM, I believe you need further tweaking of Apache and MySQL to conserve memory though.

This is a good startup point.

chuafc, either you install realplayer 10 or another player called totem

i had this PITA with real player decoder..somehow, totem works for me.
you might try this. Do google it. It tooks me a couple of hours before I finally solve my own problem

I'm assuming that you've already have beryl installed and runnin'-- emerald will only work with beryl runnin!!. If you couldn't find emerald in d menu, press alt+F2 and type



in d box and press enter...dat should open a menu to select it.. hope dat helps!!

Oh, thanks ...really appreciate that.


Ic ic ...need Beryl to be installed.. Consider I'm a beginner,
so, what is Beryl actually? I heard of it before I install the Emerald Theme Manager too.. is it like an expansion of Ubuntu? or a is it a Theme manager?
Could you please teach me how to get Beryl installed in my set of Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04? What file should I download from http://www.beryl-project.org/ and save it in which directory then install it using what command? or double clicking the files?

Thanks

projector problem!

have you guys use projector with Ubuntu?

i cant get the projector display on ubuntu laptop, i am using nvidia go 7600 with restricted driver.

another problem is i cant get ubuntu to hibernate!

You can go to beryl website to find out more about it..

emerald is a window decorator...that allows you to customize you window border-just like metacity(gnome default)..but emerald must be used only with beryl/compiz desktop and provide much more customization option(transparency n etc).

You can find a lot of howtos-just google for it...gudlak

I installed the Beryl Manager, Emerald Theme Manager can be used.
Thanks

Isn't it /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf? (On Ubuntu)

can anyone share this source list with me ? cos i think i have mess up mine (/etc/apt/sources.list)

Right now link to US got problem in few day. The connection so slow, use Singapore for fast update.

Well, I'm just install Ubuntu 7.04 in my computer. So, now running Ubuntu and Vista under 1 harddisk. When i start my computer, it will enter into a OS selection screen to let me choose which OS i want to load.
Initially, the system set Ubuntu as default OS, is there any ways to set my Vista as default OS to be loaded? So, even i dun click anything, after the time count to 0, it will load vista automatically.

You have two options:

1. edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst and put windows vista to be the first in the list.

2. you can install easybcd (free download) and easily configure and manage your boot sequence in window vista.
