Thanks to TheFu, I have taken up your suggestions with nice and sleep. However (and this is going off topic slightly) my bottleneck is not really the CPU but the nfs file server. So nice is not going...

anacron is confusing. In the documentation it says that entries in anacrontab define the period and the start delay for each script.

I want my daily scripts to start after a delay because I hate...

Actually the repository now only has the one entry and it does not say what version it is. I only assumed it was V4xx.. without loading it up because

Holger, thank you for the reply. The version in the repositories is V4, I prefer using V5 now. I knew it was going to be a mistake loading up the 17.10 version of Lubuntu.

So I'll just continue...

I have Digikam5 installed onto a 32bit virtual machine under Lubuntu 16.04.

After switching my host onto a 64 bit machine I now want to install Digikam5 onto a 64 bit Lubuntu at 17.10. When I try...

Thanks for the example and for your time. I use Cron on my file server for internal actions which is fine there because it is always on.

My desktop however is on only for limited periods and at...

TheFu, thanks but I don't follow that answer.

In /etc/anacrontab I have this line so that it auto runs on a daily basis:

oldfred thank you for the advice - unfortunately it did not solve the problem as the resultant system would not boot. When I ran GParted it reported a mismatch between the actual drive sector size...

Thank you oldfred. What I have right now is the following:


/dev/sdb is a data only drive used for storing images and I think can be safely ignored.

What you are saying I think is that sda1...

Hmm. The windows drive is MBR and boots OK on it's own, at least it did yesterday. As far as I know it is a Windows 7 original with Windows 10 updated onto it. I don't know how it would have...

The essence of my problem is getting a new Ubuntu install to dual boot with a legacy Windows 10.

The specific issue right now is that Boot-Repair is returning the following message:

To ensure my system drive drops into idle I think I need to stop cron from doing it's hourly check.

/etc/crontab contains an entry that initiates an hourly check of /etc/cron.hourly. The entry is:...

Thank you BenginM but the route trick showed the correct gateway. Found I could access the router by adding /admin to the address (192.168.0.1/admin). After that I can access it without the /admin -...

Using my browser (firefox) I am unable to reach the admin page of my Linksys router from my Ubuntu 16.04 desktop via my wired LAN. I can get there from my wifi connected phone. Similarly I can no...

Sorry no, I think forget the VM guest, that is just doing a normal update (whatever version to whateverother version) .. nothing special. My problem is with the software-centre on the 14.04 host,...

Actually I was wrong my desktop is 14.04. How I got into this problem is through trying to update a vbox machine from 14.10 to 15.10 ... which failed because my vbox needed updating, so I downloaded...

Don't know why or when but the Software-Center on my 14.10 desktop has stopped working. Google gives me solutions but none of the fixes I have tried have worked so far.

9d9 thank you for replying. In fact I have just previously discovered/realised for myself that the GT218 already supports two outputs (not well documented) and I was about to update my original post....
