If you have this message:
“Waiting for /home [SM]”
or something like that. The cause is because of your home partition (or else) is in another partition. Just press “s” and you’ll be fine. Very annoying! I had to reinstall and go forth and back to Debian just to eliminate this one.
There are times when you want to do funky things to your computer. Sometimes, it messed up your zen. Well, when that happens, just do the Debian way. Oh, btw, it also means you could do it in Ubuntu.
#1 Regenerate your settings
$ sudo update-grub
#2 Reinstall GRUB on MBR
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc

Well, the new hype. :lol:I like the new Ubuntu Logo. It looks human-friendly enough for me. It really looks professional.I don’t like the theme and, especially, the new wallpaper. It kinda making us like mac-impersonator. We have our own theme. Take a look at Hardy’s wallpaper. That was a great wallpaper that made me never […]
Dear, otaku and, yes, you, Ghost In The Shell fans, Drool!
Now, you could pinged the network router, yet, you couldn’t access google.com. It’s because the way internet runs is by using IP, not names. So, when you type google.com, actually your system is trying to translate it into IP.
There are two ways of setting it.
#1 Using /etc/hosts
This is an ARPANET legacy and still holds true. […]
There are several reasons why this basic skill is important:
Your network is failing because of your experimentation.
You want to be an l33t and impress your GF.
You are stranded on an Debian/Ubuntu server.
To configure a basic networking, usually we use “/etc/network/interfaces“. Every network interface (e.g. ethernet card) can be brought up and down by using command

This morning I upgraded my workstation which runs Lucid. I have found that there are 2 failed upgrades. The solution to those packages are trivial.
INITRAMFS fails
The first problem encountered is initramfs-tools that failed to found “./lib/udev/firmware.sh“. After a quick check on “/lib/udev” directory, I found out that the given file was named “firmware“. Thus, solution […]
I’m trying to use Bespin from SVN but the build failed at configuring. According to [BUG], there are two ways of solving it:
Reinstalling libqt4-phonon-dev
$ sudo aptitute reinstall libqt4-phonon-dev
Create a symlink (symbolic link/shortcut) from /usr/include/qt4/phonon to /usr/include/phonon
$ sudo ln -s /usr/include/qt4/phonon /usr/include/phonon
With my current Lucid, I get the second one successful.The complete error message when installing:$ cmake .– Found […]
Today’s update on Lucid, Firefox is on the 3.6 version and still using firefox-3.5-branding. However, Ars reported that Canonical made a deal with Yahoo! to include their search engine as the default, not Google. So, I will expect the next update would change the default search engine into Yahoo! search engine (Bing).
The neat feature of […]
My Ubuntu Lucid now running well. I use KDE plasma-netbook and looking great and stable. KRunner occasionally crashed, but it’s acceptable because of Alpha version. But, all-in-all, my computer is rocking solid:
