After dozens of successful dual boots with Ubuntu and other Debian-derived distros (3D!) I've encountered my first unbootable machine tonight, with the little-loved error message "Missing operating system". I've got Windows 7 back now with the boot flag on the primary partition device, but no grub

Just throwing this out there, but if you could find a Linux Format disk...or similar from another magazine that might fill the void. I think those would be limited to 32-bit though unless they included a 64-bit on it. On 12-06-03 04:06 PM, Neil B wrote: > Okay. > > If the package you want doesn'

Okay. If the package you want doesn't have a bunch of crazy dependencies, you can pin it to an older repository. As 10.04 is an LTS version, their repositories should still be available. I had to do this for a friend who upgraded to Kubuntu 12.04 on his old Dell box and had to pin X to the 11.10

If you pull down the notification bar and tap on the USB icon, you should get an option to select mass USB storage mode. You'll also need to make sure you have the 3G USB device driver installe

Is this a newer phone with Android 4+ on it? If so this *may* be related to the fact that the mass storage device option has been removed in favor of MTP and/or a Camera device connection. There are some decent reasons for this move away from the traditional mass storage device, but MTP suppo
