I decided running 64 bit version of Ubuntu was a pain in the ass, so I blew away everything and started over. My first attempt to start over didn’t go so well: Edgy Eft didn’t recognize my mouse (an off and on problem in my Ubuntu experiences) and my network connection. So that sucked and was my first real problem installing Ubuntu. I went back to 32 bit Dapper and then upgraded to Edgy, which seems to work well. I even got the Flash 9 beta to work in Firefox (and it works quite well). My project for this evening was to make an ext2 partition for my music and videos (after discovering this) so I didn’t have to deal with Linux’s sketchy NTFS drivers anymore. Sadly, it may have been too late, as Partition Magic refuses to resize my main Windows partition. Annoyingly, Ubuntu had no problem doing so during installation and I hadn’t written anything to my NTFS partition from Ubuntu. I was warned, though, so I have no excuse. Chkdsk is ineffective; maybe defragging will help. [...] [...] I blame Shane. I decided running 64 bit version of Ubuntu was a pain in the ass, so I blew away everything and started over.

I'm planning on making backups soon. I keep telling myself that, but I’m not being particularly careful. I’m planning on making backups soon.

It would suck to see all the data gone because of a bug. Be very careful with having your NTFS partion read/writable. It would suck to see all the data gone because of a bug.
