This thread will detail how to place a menu entry in Grub 2 to allow booting an ISO file stored on your computer without a CD/DVD. Not all ISOs will work with Grub 2. The ISO must be constructed in a manner to allow this method of booting. Currently the Ubuntu family ISOs (9.10 and later), Gparted CD, Parted Live CD, and SystemRescue CD, among others, support this feature.

How to install Ubuntu 10.04 on Thinkpad x201

Keywords

thinkpad, x201, 10.04, lucid, blank screen, black screen, install, suspend, change brightness

Summary

As of August 2010, installing 10.04 on a ThinkPad x201 is non-trivial. The fixes have been worked out in many different forums, but I thought there might be value added in consolidating the process in one place. I'll try to present every step simply, since more experienced users probably don't need this HOWTO in the first place. If I miss any steps, or explain anything wrong, please let me know.

Hi,
this is a renewed guide for optimize flash on firefox browser based on my old guide plus new hints.

This guide is intended for poor old 32bit pc (like mine) with Lucid, Firefox 3.6.6 and Flash 10.1.x. Of course, anyone can give a try.

I do not guarantee that these instructions works for you. On my box these settings improve the performances pretty much.

This is for everyone who owns an Acer laptop with this webcam. How long have you gone without being able to record video? Does YouTube's "Record from webcam" feature not even work for you? Taking pictures worked fine for me, but it always the video that was messed up.

In connection with the Windows viruses and impossibility to start regedit or Windows in whole, sometimes Windows users need to edit the registry from outside. I've found, so far, the only utility in Linux chntpw, which was originally designed to reset passwords, and then acquired the registry editing ability.

Soo, I got bummed that there was no way to search and install PPAs from the command line. So I created my own program to do it! It works pretty well, just don't stray off the path i.e. don't put in a letter when it asks you for a number. But, let's get started.

How to manually migrate a wubi 9.10 or 10.04 install to partition

These are the steps required to manually migrate a wubi 9.10 or 10.04 install to partition (grub2 only).

The partition(s) must be created already - there are plenty of guides on how to do this. This example assumes the new install will be on /dev/sda5 and that there will be a swap on /dev/sda6. If there is no swap, just ignore lines containing /dev/sda6. If there is a swap partition it must be of type 'swap'. Change the device names as appropriate.
