I solve the partition doesn't exist by changing the boot sequence in my BIOS. Read it somewhere in the Internet, decided to give it a try and amazingly it worked.

maybe.... cuz my 7.10 really always hang.. now better can stay for few hours, but randomly hang is just annoying. i think its graphic driver prob, i now change from ori "ati - mech64...." to "radeon...." driver oni better.

can any 1 suggest a stable driver for ati and also nvidia? is it d prob?

I was planning to update to 7.10 but after knowing some issues with it, I decided not to. Well a lot are having some hang issues though.

is older version of ubuntu stable? or does any1 has a smooth 7.10 and never crash?
sometimes some weird prob will occur oso in 7.10

Just curious and would like to know how many of you Linux users have been infected by virus/worm ? If no, any anti virus program used ?

I dont think currently we need to use anti virus, since virus creator usually wont bother to design any virus target at linux because of small number of user.

Well there aren't many viruses for Linux but from what I read in the Internet, it is picking up. I guess sooner or later we will have to use it.

By the way, how much space do you allocate for Ubuntu ? I give Ubuntu 15GB only, do you guys think it is too little ?

i suppose if u just allocate 15gb for ubuntu alone it is more than enuff ... unless u are storing lots of data in the same partition as well ...

anybody facing the prob i am facing below ??? there is an outline/shadow of a previously opened window on my desktop ... it goes away sometimes but sometimes doesnt ... after reboot it clears up but will come back again randomly ..
refer to the screenshot below ...

lol. my ubuntu uses 7 gb

I might be a newbie in Linux but you're using 7.10 right ? It seems that the 7.10 has that problem if I'm not wrong. Even for my 7.04, I have that problem if I turn on desktop effects.


What do you store ? Data ?

my 6gb, swap 256mb haha. Data all other partition.

I just resize my third hard disk and gave Ubuntu a 30GB space for storing data and so on.

if I were you I would give disabling the blur windows options a shot. I trust you are using compiz fusion custom settings ?

Why store data in a OS partition ?? I scared to do so...

7 gb are for /.

1gb for swap.

It's more than enough actually. What do you wan wan to install in ubuntu.

Most of the programs in Ubuntu are relatively small compared to xp

I use my other partition for datas. mp3. movies. projects. and xp

Well just checking because it is just my second day of Linux. Well yea my datas are shared with Windows via FAT32 partition.

use a whole 80 gb for ubuntu. its my primary os now and bt machine. its been a month i didn't touch vista

yes i am using 7.10 .. i have my desktop effects turned ON .. when i turn it off then no such shadow/ghost image prob

Well, I'd say Ubuntu is user friendliest distro I've ever used.

And it's strong community deserves a mention. They are pretty helpful.

wanna ask.. i did enable my gc in restricted drivers manager and installed xserver-xgl and also compiz in the Synaptic manager, but when i try to open the desktop effect it says that the composite extension is not available.. and i tried also to enable GL desktop and it also not work.. can someone tell me wat to do?? i'm a newbie of ubuntu
