I've moved on, and no longer use Ubuntu. Could an admin please delete my account?

Alternatively, Google Chrome comes with flash.

It wouldn't be a wireless mouse? Often a nearly empty battery can cause this.

Don't bother getting preload yet, it won't help.

Is Ubuntu installed to /dev/sda5?

If it is, prepare for another reinstall. Select the 'something else' install option. Format the partition you...

I don't use AMD graphics personally, so can't confirm whether these work or not, but https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI has installation instructions for the AMD graphics driver.

How did you install your graphics driver? The sluggishness + extremely high RAM usage sounds like a graphics driver issue to me. Just checking, this is the gtx 660 and NOT the gtx 660m?

Grub = the boot loader ;)

/dev/sda is where your Master Boot Record is. Perfectly safe to install grub to that.

4gbs should be enough to live without swap, but I'd still make a 4gb swap partition. If I were you, this...

Sure you want to install it on /? My advice would be / and /home.

If you do want to install everything on /, I would combine D and G. Format is whatever you like.

Then, when installing Ubuntu,...

If you just have a / partition, everything goes there.

If you have / and /home partitions:
Your distro, and all programs you install, go to /
Your files go to /home

What it looks like to me, is that the Ubuntu installer failed to install grub.

In my view, the easiest way to fix this problem is to reinstall Ubuntu (I'm assuming you haven't been able to boot...

Brother HL-2140 Foomatic/hpijs-pcl5e (recommended)

On advice from someone, I changed the drivers to this. (which is why it now shows as recommended). This works fine.

Sigh. Doesn't work. :(

Haven't had time to try it out yet.

Here's hoping it works :D

I made the switch to Ubuntu from Mint (Mint 14, moved to Ubuntu 13,04). My printer,a Brother HL-2140, was automatically detected and worked fine in Mint 14, Kubuntu 12.10 and Xubuntu 12.04, but not...

RIght click on the panel, and there should be a way to access the cinnamon settings from there.

Are you using Unity? If not, which desktop environment are you using? Don't believe you can delete the applet in unity, at least now without a hack.

If you have an ISO file, use Imgburn to burn the ISO to a dvd, then select the USB-CD boot option. It should work now.

Thanks :)

Is debodas taken? Otherwise I'll stick with my current name for now :)

Can't this be done under date and time settings? Usually accessible by clicking on the time in the panel, and by changing the time manually from there.

Download Gparted from the software center, then you can run it as a program from within Ubuntu.

Note - to format the Micro SD card, you will need to unmount the SD card, which you can do easily...

Personally I don't see what the problem is? Most likely your master volume is lower than is was in Windows

How about a dual SSD/HDD setup? A 128GB SSD for your / partition, and a large (1 or 2 TB HDD) for your /home partition.

Hi,

I'd like to change my name to claws - the reason being my current one can come across as arrogant (the king part), something I did not think about when making my profile.
