I have accidentally deleted all my files on my one account two days ago. I can still see them in
https://edge.one.ubuntu.com/files/trash/root/
but when I click restore, the service is down. Will i ever be able to get my files back, or is there another way to restore them.
Thanks.
Has anyone managed to get any of the Advent AW series printers working with Linux? Advent support states
"All-in-one printers do not support LINUX OS at this time.
The all-in-one printers are designed to work with WINDOWS XP, WINDOWS VISTA, and WINDOWS 7 Operating Systems and with MAC OS 10.4.8 or higher."
I wish I had read their website before purchasing the thing!
Any help much appreciated
I am using Ubuntu 16.04. How can I fix the following issue?
Software index is broken
This is a major failure of your software management system.
Please check for broken packages with synaptic, check the file
permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and
reload the software information with: 'sudo apt-get update' and
'sudo apt-get install -f'.
In addition to this error I'm also still getting the same error in the terminal as I got while trying to install an .rpm package in my previous question: Restoring system for a crashed installation. I also got an error message about an obsolete PPA and another xenial repository that can't be authenticated.
I can't install any packages at all. I can't use apt-get, can't use gebi installer, and I can't even open the Synaptic package manager.
I'm hoping to revive an old netbook I have laying around by installing Linux on it. I did what I gather most of us are supposed to do: I created a Xubuntu 14.10 Live USB with Unetbootin, plugged the stick into my computer, tried to fire it up...
and was faced with a black screen and this error:
Failed to load COM32 file menu.c32
boot: _
The darn thing won't respond to any key presses and I can't do anything except turn it off and cry. I've tried reformatting my USB drive, redownloading the Xubuntu .iso, and remaking the Live USB. Same error.
What can I do to fix this?
This problem also occurs with usb-creator, otherwise known as "Startup Disk Creator". It's also a problem with all ubuntu variants, including those based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 14.10, and Ubuntu 15.04.
After doing some digging, it seems like this is a fairly common problem for some folks who try to create a Ubuntu Live USB with Unetbootin. The bug hasn't been fixed yet, but luckily there is a workaround.
You'll need:
The workaround:
/usr/lib/syslinux/bios/ in your file manager. (In some installations, the path you need is /usr/lib/syslinux/modules/bios/.libcom32.c32, menu.c32, and libutil.c32.This solution was based off a blog post found on AjoPaul.com
Alternative Workaround From the command line:
After you install Ubuntu 14.10 to your USB drive, run the following commands:
cd /usr/lib/syslinux/modules/bios/
cp libcom32.c32 /media/path/to/usb/drive/
cp libutil.c32 /media/path/to/usb/drive/
cp menu.c32 /media/path/to/usb/drive/
I'm learning a little about fsck on the fly, but what I am finding so far doesn't seem to do very much when I apply it. What would be the next step from this prompt to repair the errors I am having when booting?
i have recently installed ubuntu 11.10 on my system along with windows xp.
Previously i have ubuntu 9.04, i have deleted those partitions and installed 11.10.
installation is complete but i am unable to boot into ubuntu. Following is the error.
error: can't read file
error: load kernel first.
Any help is really appreciated.
I would like to know which repository contains a specific package, in order to add the PPA link to the sources.list file.
The package can also be outside of the official repositories (multiverse or similar).
I dont want to find only the repository name but also the full qualified PPA link name to be added to the sources without any additional struggle.
y-ppa-manager can do that for you:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/y-ppa-manager
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install y-ppa-manager
Search the package and use the button Add selected PPA to add the PPA.
