"parityboy" using raid0, just dosn't seem right. The 0 in raid0 is for how much data you will have left when something goes wrong. anyways what does the following give. # cat /proc/mdstat # mdadm --assemble --scan -v

for the background, the quick and dirty way is to replace /usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png with the image of your choice, or you could make a custom dconf profile. something like: create a profile similar to /etc/dconf/profile/user with the following user-db:user system-db:local...

what version of ubuntu, 18.04? are you looking to set the image on just the desktop, or also the greeter screen? is the desktop env gnome?

I believe at this point he has 2 separate issues: - the original issue of being unable to write to his ntfs shared disk partition. - box is not properly booting because there are partitions not mounting, such as the swap file. it seems odd to me that he has both a /swapfile and a...

post the boot messages again with the /swapfile line commented out.

networking will not be enabled in rescue mode. you would have to bring up the interface manually if you want to use apt. but to me it still looks like you have filesystems that aren't mounting on boot.

you put a # sign at the start of that line, which means when the config is read it will not use that line, it will treat it like those other comments. i see in your post #10 during bootup your system is having problems using the /swapfile. so if you put a # at the start of that line, it wont be...

it seems like its not finding /swapfile, you might try commenting that out in your /etc/fstab and reboot.

from the errors in the commands you provided it looks like maybe its mounting as read only. did you happen to run mount when you were in the command line, and was it rw or ro? looks like this is a fairly coming problem when sharing a filesystem between windows and linux, you might need to do a...

I learned a large chunk of my basic linxu/unix knowledge by running only Sun Solaris (8) at home on my main desktop for ~3 years around the time winXP came out. Anything I wanted to do i had to figure it out in a painful way, mostly command line. Want to listen mp3s, find some random project...

yeah, i agree it would be nice to have putty in windows default, its one of the first things I end up installing on the the few windows boxes I do use. Also since its web page is in some guys public_html dir, and i end up tripple checking i am at the right place before I download it.

Disabling the telnet on the server for security reasons was fine, i don't think anyone would argue that. On the other hand taking out the client is annoying, it is useful for things other then actual telnet.

Had no idea that Windows had dropped telnet, I am pretty sure it was included by default at some point 98/nt4.0 days. Yeah it can be a pain when its not there and you need it, and while it is probably more of a pain to add it back then say doing so in centos. I prefer not to use window did...

Don't get me started on that, It drives me crazy, hehe. ifconfig is considered deprecated these days. I started with unix before linux so its hard for me to let it go. It seems like my list of 'standard' tools i got to install on a fresh machine is always growing. People love to reinvent the...

Sure its possible netplan has a bug, well i know it has bugs, but before everyone goes throwing that out there as the cause of this issue take a look at what it actually does, and dosn't do. It doesn't actually configure the interfaces, setup routes, change dns, all it really does is shove the...
