RE: 8.04 with Vista Home Premium

Newer HP laptops come pre-installed with either windows xp or windows vista. by default, the hard drive will contain two partitions - one for the OS installation and the other for the OS recovery files. installing if u have a version of "partition magic" that is compatible with windows vista, you can adjust the size of the OS installation partition. then restart your pc for the changes to take effect. you can then install ubuntu.
alternatively, u can burn your pc recovery files to onto a cd/dvd. once done you are free to delete all partitions and create your own custom partition sizes for windows and ubuntu.
cheers

I just upgraded a couple of machines to 8.04. I notice one significant

the tool bar next to the Back button that allowed one to open up a list of
the recent history, and jump back several levels at once is gone.
How can I get this back?
It's moved in between the forward and refresh button, if I got you right.
Yeah - I think the idea is to use the same list to move forward OR
back. Messed me up for a second there too...
Now if only Google Browser synch worked withthis version :-(

Installing Ubuntu with XP should pose no problems. At least it has not in the
past. I just need more room on a second hard disk, the purchase of which, my
wife wisely says, is contingent upon my losing 5 kilos.
The urgent question has to do with my HP Pavilion dv600 laptop with Vista Home
Premium loaded. There's plenty of room, but Vista uses a different partition
paradigm from that in XP, and potentially is more complicated to use as a
partner in a dual boot. I have read that 8.04 installs with Vista and have seen
reference to such dual boots in the Users' correspondence, but when I tried an
installation yesterday, there was no recognition of special conditions for
Vista. Ultimately I canceled the installation, because I feared losing the
existing Vista installation.
I would very much appreciate advice from some of you who have already installed
8.04 in a dual boot with Vista.
Thanks in advance.
Perhaps:

I have a grub machine with access to easily twenty thousand booting operating systems on 4 thousand machines, and i was wondering. Is it possible for grub to boot to another grub (or lilo, if necessary)? I want to be able to sort in a manner like a dichotominous key that you dont see everything at once. I know it seems crazy that i did this (i have been using linux siNce 2005) but i did. Can someone help me?

What is the significance of "No LSB modules are available"? That
line doesn't appear in NoOP's example.
It was my example, and as I said, I omitted it. Here is what I see
(without me omitting lines):
justin@zerolaptop:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 8.04
Release: 8.04
Codename: hardy
justin@zerolaptop:~$
It is normal it says no modules are available. You can read more
about LSB here: http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/LSB
Lets get this back on track to get you a solution. Do you really want
to downgrade to 7.10? Or are you just concerned that 8.04 didn't
install correctly?
perhaps if I could redo the upgrade from 7.10 afresh, the up grade
would install correctly and I'd be able to see evidence of that.. As it
is, everything, the bootup menu, the desktop still
look like 7.10 and menu.lst shows no evidence of 8.04. However, I know
that 8.04 is hiding there, somewhere.
I still would like to have the upgrade working correctly.

I don't think there is one, how would one search? I suppose a 0.* match would
reveal less than released versions but then is the version number standard
that well observed? What is the difference between alpha numbers and beta
ones?
Firefox 3.x is a beta, but easily replaced with the
current 2.x stable release, via Synaptic.
I for one was happy to see Firefox 3 as in 7.10, Firefox 2.0.0.14 and previous
never would open most of the websites I frequent. I had to rely on
Konqueror. I did not feel any need to reinstall the 2.x series of Firefox on
my computer, ...and I have found no fault so far with Firefox 3.
People have reported problems with gnash. My
add/remove app says my 8.04 has an Alpha of
that, but . http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
says a beta came out in March. If I installed
gnash and id ugrades, would I get the beta? How
would I know that, short of "try it and see"?.
There must be a different than gnash tool to play swf as I don't have gnash
installed here.

Hello,
Could someone tell me what ssh-agent is? I have the following process
running on my computer, and I'm not sure what it does:
root@monkey:~# ps ax | grep 5474
5474 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/dbus-launch

But none of these posts every say how they find this out.
In a terminal type this command:
lsusb
Then look for the line which seems to be the device in question. Another
option would be to compare the output of the lsusb command with and
without the device plugged in. The line which has changed is for the
device in question.

Adding to that; after you've found the device, you can then use the
verbose mode to show you more info on the device itself. Example:
$ lsusb
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 09da:0006 A4 Tech Co., Ltd Optical Mouse WOP-35 /
Trust 450L Optical Mouse
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
So I want to see the added info on the mouse (Bus 001 Device 002: ID
09da:0006), so I ask for the verbose output of the device on Bus 002:
~$ lsusb -s 002 -v
