Does Ubuntu need some special magic to allow Windows 7 to mount an nfs…
I'm absolutely new on Ubuntu.
I was gonna learn Ubuntu, so I installed VMware 7.0.1 build-227600 on my Win7 x64, afterward I've installed Ubuntu 9.10 on it as a Virtual Machine.
I just enabled root account, and when I log in as root for once, I received the following error :
What's wrong with it?
Am I miss something?
I have an existing Ubuntu 10.04 desktop system setup and running on a hard drive (Drive A).
I'd like to add 2 more hard drives (Drives B & C, same size) to the system and mount them as a RAID 1 array.
How do I do that?
I know how to create RAID arrays during the installation, but I don't want to reinstall my system, and I shouldn't have…

When i'm using 2 external displays, Gnome should add an additional Panel to the second…
I had a partition setup with Windows XP and Ubuntu 8.04 dual booting. I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 by installing fresh from CD but leaving the previous /home folder as is. Things seemed to be working fine, but started finding that my mouse and keyboard were freezing.
After a quick search on the internet, I found the following…
I do have XP on my PC. I want to shift to Ubuntu 10.04. I want to format whole PC & want to keep only Ubuntu.
Should I have to keep partition for it like we do in previous version of Ubuntu. Doesn't it waste my space ?

I won't use 2, 3 or 4 for a while though. Can/should I turn these off somehow?
I have turned home…
Some programs are about to make me epileptic with excessive screen flashing/blinking (terminator etc.). In Ubuntu Hardy Heron I could solve the problem by unchecking System-Preferences-Sound-System Beep-Visual system beep. However on Karmic Koala there is no such option.

I wish to convert (print) my MS Word files to pdf on the fly. I am on Ubuntu 9.10 and using Wine 1.1.40. Can someone help? I have heard that a pdf printer can be installed using Wine Cups.
As I recently upgraded to karmic I started to see the following stuff in the logs when I run VirtualBox:

I installed netatalk on my Ubuntu Server a few weeks ago and configured it so that I could use Timemachine from my mac to backup on a server instead of a external hard drive.
It worked really good until yesterday when I installed Samba to be able to share certain folders on my server to my mac.

The title pretty much says it all. My experience w/ubuntu is VERY limited. I did find the system test feature and ran an audio test. It found my device as Intel 82801DB-ICH4.
