Ubuntu Boot Process
Published (2009-11-08 08:44:00)
In Linux, it does not matter if a partition is active. The bootloader (most commonly GRUB) will attempt to boot the partition named in its configuration file (typically /boot/grub/menu.lst) What you call the "volume boot record" is also called the partition boot record (or partition boot sector). This and the MBR can have boot code, but the BIOS always sends control to the MBR, defined as the first sector of the drive.

You do not install them. They are the options to turn off apic. Edit menu.lst file that is present in /boot/grub directory. You need to do it as root like: sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst Find an uncommented line that looks something like this: Code: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=UUID=3359d0de-47e2-4e70-a221-d50c43046ce2 ro splash vga=788 Then add noapic and acpi=force at the end of this line and save. So that it looks like Code:...

As per ghostdog, you're best off learning how to program or you'll be forever asking qns and unable to make the most of the answers, which may a take a long time to arrive. Start with the Perl docs as per his link, then look at search.cpan.org . Search on XML. XML::Parser http://search.cpan.org/~msergeant/XM...2.36/Parser.pm is comprehensive, but probably overkill. Try XML::Simple http://search.cpan.org/~grantm/XML-S.../XML/Simple.pm...

Try
Code:
echo "DEBUG \$0: '$0'"
before the call to basename to see if $0 has the value you think it has.
There should be no space between $ and ( in $(<some command(s)>)

Hi,
You'd better get it from here . Slackware is different from other distros. Download the source file and the Slackbuild file. Unpack the Slackbuild file, it will create a directory into which you move the source file. Next execute the Slackbuild script.
For more info read the Howto on http://slackbuilds.org/ .
Kind regards,
Eric

Looks like you may not have installed the build-depends; ie the packages required to do the build.
On my system /usr/share/gnome-pkg-tools/1/rules/uploaders.mk
is in the gnome-pkg-tools package. To automatically install required packages you can run:
Code:
apt-get build-dep gnome-python
Where gnome-python is the package you want to build.
See: http://www.debian.org/doc/...

Please use useful intelligent thread titles if you wish to get help. "help me!" just makes a mess of the forum.

Try to install gparted and try to fix trough there. It's a nice gui tool
that list your partitions, and you can try to fix it from there.

Check the man page for find. The definition of the return status is rather
broad, but it basically refers to all files having been processed
successfully, not whether it found what you were looking for. There are
other ways in the shell of asking whether a file exists or not.

Use Synaptic instead of apt-get
I only read about half your post. That was probably a lot more than I needed to read. Apt-get can be confusing for beginners. You don't like apt-get. I don't either.
Synaptic is a GUI front end for apt. It is easier for a beginner to understand and use.
What Linux distribution are you using? I found Mepis significantly more beginner friendly, ...

You need a C-compiler to compile the compiler.
Use the package manager of your distro (RH or derivate I assume) to install one. It's the easiest.
