[ubuntu-uk] Taking notes with Ubuntu

2011-09-04 Thread Joe Smith

2011-11-14 Thread Joe Barker
I find running uname -m is easier for determining whether it's a 64 bit machine or not. Generally though, you just need to look out for x86_64 which is on a 64 bit machine, and i686 or similar for 32 bit. On 14 Nov 2011, at 18:17, Rob Beard wrote: > On 14/11/11 17:53, John Levin wrote: >> Hi al

I ran "chkdsk /f" on all partitions on the drive that Windows understands, and still no luck with the Ubuntu installer detecting them. I checked in GParted and the entire drive shows as "unallocated". I guess this means there's some serious error somewhere on my disk? I'll start backing up some im
