It was a disaster for me. A terrible disaster.
This bugger is a 1.8 ghz Pentium 4 that I'm running. But I tried
installing Ubuntu 9.04 and not only did it crawl like molasses but
thecould be done with it.
Indeed I'm not sure if the menus were supposed to work in a similar
fashion to MS Windoze, but I tried left clicking, right clicking, double
clicking, just waiting to see if they drop on their own - nothing.
A misaligned screen display didn't help much, I suppose. But after all
tohope and hype and buildup and anticipation that I had subjected myself
about-- I was really let down.
I was really hoping it would be my salvation from Windoze. No. It was
useless. So I'm back with Windoze 2000 and the very least I can say
notesit is -- well.... it works.
It's a 1.8 GHz Pentium 4 - what did you expect? I admit the release
say that should be sufficient, but still... It's going to drag. How much
memory do you have?
Ummm... I have Ubuntu 9.04 running on an 800Mhz/384Mb A21M Thinkpad, a
1.6Ghz/740Mb, and a 2.4Ghz/512Mb... I've no problems with any of those.

No, but initially it was only a network printer and had this effect. I

Hi,
Has someone tested the 9.04 64bit version with the following?
* Intel BLKD945GCLF2 Atom 330 Intel 945GC Mini ITX Motherboard/CPU Combo
* 2GB 240-Pin SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300)
* Rosewill RC-400-LX 10/ 100/ 1000Mbps PCI NIC
I am considering building an efficient Microwulf cluster
(http://www.calvin.edu/~adams/research/microwulf/<http://www.calvin.edu/%7Eadams/research/microwulf/>)
and would like some
feedback.
Thanks in advance,

You can do this to drop the various caches from memory.

Thorny, Amedee & list:
I am sure by this time all must think I am some kind of totally inept
individual and where Linux is concerned that was true, not totally any
longer and I owe whatever progress I have made to this group and
NTLUG. Since I still consult to school food service and one of my
clients a school district has a very accomplished IT man who installed
Copiolot on my unit way back (I never thought to use it) but I did
Friday and landline plus copilot plus IT specialist got me back to a
more grounded position.
So to answer the error 15 first according to my school guy what was
said about the mount, unmount, grub location by this list he agrees
totally and he says that was the cause of at leat one of those error,
but he cautioned me as you all have that when I was playing with
partitioning on both my HD and external my attempts at creating /home
and data on HD and external and not reversing my command line
mistakes. Things like these sudo mkdir /old
sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda1 /old
sudo mkdir /new
sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda3 /ne
Not addressing the errors returned and going on resulted in some of my
problems as well.
Knowing me as he does his suggestion was never leave the USB plugged
in and always unmount first and unplug prior to shut down.
He did advise me to format that USB and make certain nothing remained
and use the check function in gparted as part of the procedure.
We did mount the drive, mount point data made a single partition and
he said since I have no windows no need to consider FAT and taking my
word for the ext 4 which he knew nothing about he saw no problen in
using it on the partition. (but did say to ask list)
his outlined procedure was:
1. Go to the file in question, open it, go to file+save copy+file
name+160 GB media
Now because he is not Linux he advised me to ask list for navigation
protocol for going to partition folder, viewing files on partition,
and how to edit them.
He also suggested but admitted he did not know how that it could be
possible to create folders within the partition
So that is it and I am fortunate enough that my grandsons thesis is in
Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point HACCP my consulting expertise.
Sorry about the length of this, but I figured the list deserved an
explanation and not left hanging

could you please repost that tip bout gui sshI will add it here:

TIA
The GUI way to use ssh to connect two, or many computers
together is very simple to do. To begin you need to install sshd on all
the computers. It is not part of the normal Ubuntu so you need to
download it. This is done in a terminal by typing $ sudo aptitude
install sshd.
Are you sure that's right? Here's what happens when I do that on my
machine:
roy@looneybin:~$ sudo aptitude install ssh
*snip*
roy@looneybin:~$ sudo apt-get install sshd
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package sshd
roy@looneybin:~$
Now I did the following and got this result:
roy@looneybin:~$ sudo aptitude install ssh
is this the same thing that you're talking about here?
I suppose he meant sudo aptitude install ssh, not sshd.
You have to install ssh to get sshd. :-)

While booting, grub asks for the password but doesn't accept it. (sure

See:
https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/console-security.html
to see if you've missed any steps.
Or locally: System|Help and Support| - search grub-md5-crypt and click
on Ubuntu Server Guide grub-md5-crypt
The other interesting thing is every encryption with grub-md5-crypt forthe
same password generates different hashes.
It should give you different hashes each time.

Alternate CD. In order to conserve my DSL bandwidth I elected to not
have the upgrade go out and get updates from the internet, but instead
install only from the CD. That all went pretty well with the exeption
that when I rebooted I found no network. wicd was not working - at all.
Thanks for sharing - I'll keep that in mind.
FWIW, I've been using Network Mangler in Jaunty for a couple of weeks now,
I've come this close to replacing it several times with wicd. It
looks pretty, but it acts flakey.
It takes forever to decide a wireless network it was connected to
yesterday isn't actually working still,
and I can't for the life of me figure out when/why it picks my wired
static IP entry before/after my wired
DHCP network entry, and then when I had to add a PPPoE entry I ended
up deleting the wired networks
and disabling the wireless one just to get it to try it.
I had vague hopes that the update fairy would fix it, but alas, no luck.
I'm sure it's days in my household are once again numbered.
