    @FinalMacGoz hehehe yeah its nice

  2. FinalMacGoz permalink

    I love the buttons on the left since I’m a Mac user I love this Ubuntu

  3. OSGUIShow permalink

    @x2thebox there is a much more user friendly easy way of doing it that I show in another video

  4. x2thebox permalink

    Put the buttons on the right (make it like a PC again):
    in terminal type: gconf-editor
    This will bring up the gconf-editor window. Scroll down to App->(Your theme)->general. On the right, double click on the button_layout and change the content to ‘menu:maximize,minimize,close’ (without the quote). Click Ok and close the gconf-editor.

    Not sure if will work with the new version, but give it a try.

  9. lopbox permalink

    it is actually really really easy to switch the position of the buttons on the windows there from the left to the right size in any theme u want to do it. Google it :P

    I have two a monitors configuration. I cannot setup the extra monitor on my laptop as my main monitor in extended Setup. I have tried all the options that comes with Ubuntu but I cant. I have Intel GMA 965. When I activate the second monitor in extended mode my laptop monitor switch to main monitor.

    A simple task like that one should be easy..

    @OSGUIShow voltage10101 is asking about the wobble effect in compiz

  16. ajazaad permalink

    @Voltage10101 its done with compiz application

  17. Frankfurtxxl permalink

    @Voltage10101 he is using compiz … you can change the effects of maximizing minimizing etc. of all windows

  18. Ericboy780907 permalink

    @Voltage10101 Just download CompizConfig setting manager(using software center), and at “special effect” section I think there’s one on the middle, enable it

  19. OSGUIShow permalink

    @Voltage10101 im sorry i do not understand

  20. OSGUIShow permalink

    @J0RDSKI okay I not seen that bug
    sorry to hear that

    @ZERONiCEhacker714 yes
    did you miss the annotations link and video reply follow up

  22. ZERONiCEhacker714 permalink

    wow… you know you can switch the buttons

  23. J0RDSKI permalink

    When I had 64bit lucid linux it randomly froze and went to log in screen and all programs close, also sometimes stopped working so I had to do a hard reboot. It sucks because I know it is nothing to do with my hardware which is like the most popular and has worked with every other os and previous linux distro’s. Basically they need to improve it.

    How long do i wait to reach the welcome page because i put in the live cd and restarted my laptop then it took me to this black page and at the bottom (left to right) there was a rectangular box with a H on the right side in the inside and an equal sign then a bubble with a person in it?

  25. OSGUIShow permalink

    @solankiashish yep

  26. ScrillaDamage permalink

    will this work if data is lost through system restore?

  27. kbtrumpeteer permalink

    Does it work with a corrupted external HDD?

  28. SpaceRitual permalink

    @SpaceRitual Disregard my post, the problem WAS fixed after a deeper search and a little research independent of your excellent video. THANK YOU once again!

  29. SpaceRitual permalink

    Thanks so much for the video, this is all very foreign to me. I tried to delete the partition off my hard drive to install windows xp to dual boot: It switched my C: drive to my external hard drive. So I ended up deleting the partition of my external hard drive, now I can not access the drive at all!

    If Testdisk doesn’t fix the problem, I’m out of luck, right? If I can not recover the partition, do I create a new one and then I’ll at least be able to start over?

    Thanks

    what if i deleted all my data from my hdd accidentally from were you first partion and format the hdd at the beginning would i still be able to recover my data by using this application? , and also would i able to burn it to a disk and boot from it?…..thanks

  31. SPYinSoFla88 permalink

    I loaned a WD 1TB My Book to a friend and it came back w/o being able to access the files – over 350GB of music and 200GB of photos! The error stated that “the disk was not formatted do you want to format now?” I chose “No” and used TestDisk (on Win XP) to try to find the partition. It found the right one in a backup sector (the primary sector was bad) and rewrote it. Works great now, all files are accessible. Thanks! You might want to tell people where to download TestDisk.

  32. willsam100 permalink

    I had an external hdd 500gb with two partions – one a mac time machine back up (HFS+) the other FAT32. on ubuntu i hit the format button with the wrong hdd seleted and it deleted both partions and created one fat32 partion. should Testdisk be able to get back my partions or at least my FAT32 partion?

    @XohshitztonysbackX I never tried it myself on Windows but I believe it does.

  36. tq77 permalink

    @fukctubeyoupricks ÷ I managed to recover 10 GB worth of file mostly documents but am facing two problems.
    1. I can’t open doc files on openoffice. 2. Can’t search for the file name since it’s renamed to such f29874732857.
    any luck of solving that ?

  37. fukctubeyoupricks permalink

    @tq77 Yes, if there are still errors that way it uncovers more informationthat way, if all is ok no need to :)

  38. tq77 permalink

    THANK YOU SO MUCH GOD BLESS YOU , I AM A PHOTOGRAPHER AND LOST THE PARITION WHEN TRYING TO REZISE IT! I had tons of very important files !! thank you so so much !!

  45. XohshitztonysbackX permalink

    Can I restore the partition to external hard drive? because I have 1tb and internal hard drive I have 350 but the partition file size is 400gb

  46. XohshitztonysbackX permalink

    does this really work because alot of videos I’ve seen people claim that it really works but when I’ve tried it it doesn’t work….

    I need to know this really works because I called Gateway to get the restore discs and they said they don’t make restore disc anymore for my model. Which is stupid because it was made 4 years ago.

  47. K1NGD1M1 permalink

    thank you very much!!!!!

  48. csgrabben permalink

    i wish this would have worked for me… i deleted 465 Gb movies, music etc… right now im trying Active undelete enterprise edition and I hope it works…

  49. Xphearous permalink

    - OMG Thank you sooo much!! You saved me from a $500 dollar data recovery service locally!! That was just the estimate too, it could have been more!!

    I thought I had tried everything!! Including “SpinRite” which didnt help.

    Again, thank you soo much!!
