It depends. If the "partitioning" used the entire disk-drive, rather than "preserving" the existing partition in which Windows was loaded, then you need to re-install Windows.

Either use the set of "System Restore" CD-ROM disks that were provided with your computer,
or telephone the manufacturer and order a replacement set of those disks (probably $20, plus $20 for overnight courier). Or, borrow a "retail" Windows XP CD-ROM, and install Windows,
using the 25-character product-key on the decal on the side/bottom of your computer.

when you turn on your computer choose

the recovery mode than write this line sudo apt-get upgrade
hope it works or reinstall it again :(

Try their site, This link is for the Server Edition. Hope this is what you are looking for. Free Ubuntu Server Download here..

Try this site "Brother drivers for Linux "

Welcome to Ubuntu :), first of all make sure you can see wireless networks so that your wireless driver is functioning properly, find the wireless icon in the system tray in the upper right corner of your screen, right click and select edit connections, select wireless connections, here you can configure your wireless networks..

It seems that your file system is formated or some system directories are removed by accident, you need to reinstall your Ubuntu..

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot Check out this link in the section where it talks about maser boot record. Explains grub.

http://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/fix-mbr-xp-vista/ This link should help you repair the mbr.

Yes, you can dual boot ubuntu with Windows. The installation is a bit too technical for the "novice' user.

No, as there is no actual 3D support in the driver in Linux. Even on Windows, 3D support is abysmal, so you're not missing much.

Your question is somewhat confusing. If the password you set is not the same one that your parents originally set, they will of course know that you changed it. If the password tool is complaining that the password is too simple, then it is most likely not the password your parents set, because they would have encountered the same message.

You can set a password of arbitrary (non-null) length from the command line using the command sudo passwd

This indicates the the root file system has been damaged in some fashion, removing the init program and destroying the /proc directory, and possibly others as well. The only real solution is to try to reinstall. If the problem reoccurs frequently, you may have a damaged hard drive.

here are three sites for this , the first one is very good

Make sure that you have samba installed, that will allow you to share folders as shares that Windows can see.

If you want to get tot he CLI on the ubuntu server from the XP machines, just download PuTTY (just google 'download putty'), and then you should be able to SSH to the ubuntu server.

Hope that helps!

You can try sudo apt-get remove mozilla-firefox

or just use synaptic from the GUI

if you have vista format the ubuntu partion then use EASY BCD to fix the bootscreen.

if you have ubuntu use your live cd and go into the partition manager and remove it from there.

you can choose which packages you want while installing the server..

Hi Josh

First of all check system setting.

It seems like your modules are not loaded, if you just installed, I recommend you to
re-install Ubuntu, if this is not the case, try to run -

sudo apt-get -f install

If everything fails, try this - sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils start

wen u get plz inform me tooo.......plz
