Thank you for the reply. The device isn't dual boot, only Ubuntu. It was only a simple BIOS when I last installed 16.04 which I'm still using today. I'll have to dissect and digest these UEFI details...
I do realize that. It's the how that I'm not sure about.
I have a new Dell PC with a 1 TB normal hard disk and a 500 GB M2 SSD. I've always installed Ubuntu on a single normal SATA hard drive but this new configuration is not as straightforward. I'd like...
There's a bug report on Launchpad.

It might help if you log in and click on "Does this bug effect you?". I guess the more people...
Same issue here with Ubuntu and Ubuntu Mate (both 16.04). The Laptop I'm using had no sound issues with 14.04 or any other Ubuntu release since 2005.
Thank you again for the detailed explanation.
So 'dereference' basically means list whatever file or directory the symbolic link points to.
In your examples you seem to have used two types of shells. In the first, ls did not dereference the...
In the manual page for ls, the -d (--directory) option is described as
-d, --directory
list directory entries instead of contents, and do not dereference symbolic links
Can someone...
I found an actual solution to my problem here.
The steps are:
You need to edit the file /etc/default/grub
$ sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
Go to the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet...
That's a neat workaround. And it did work. Thank you.
Today I tried 14.04 live from USB on an old LG (S1 Express Dual) laptop (Centrino Duo, 1 GB RAM) which never had any serious problems with Ubuntu since 6.10 however the keyboard isn't responding at...
In a networking lecture I took to today, it was mentioned that Windows has a file WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc/services that has a list of all the supported protocols (and their port numbers) on the...
Problem solved. Thank you.
On 10.04 I created an account for a normal 'Desktop user' but each time that user logs into his account the wireless settings are lost as seen in the screen-shot. I've also attached the user...
I still face this problem with Arabic fonts on Youtube. None of the mentioned solutions resolved this issue.
Indeed this is what I actually meant
I'll take note of this advice for my future readings. Thanks.
Thinking at the bit level does confuse. I meant rightmost.:D
Understood. Using 0xFF and 0x000000FF had exactly the same effect. So in the code
value = value & OxFF;
the leftmost 8 bits of value would be preserved and the rest (24 bits) would be zeroed...
Sorry, that was my mistake.
I think the 8 bits of 0xFF will be aligned with the rightmost (least significant) bit of the 32 bit 'value' but will the rest of the bits be padded with zeros or they...
This is not for my 'homework' and your answer isn't of any measurable help.
In C, if value was an int type (2 bytes)
value = value & OxFF;
would this statement change the rightmost or leftmost 8 bits into zeros or would it change all the 16 bits of value into zeros....
It did. Thank you again.
I'm trying to compile this simple C program on 10.04 but without success. The code is from a C programming book. I get the following error messages:
$ gcc program2_11.c

I'm trying out an example from a book that shows how to compile a program on Linux from source code. The program used is called 'diction'. Everything went fine but I was wondering about the last...
