Hi folks,

I am not 100% sure this is the right forum, but it is the closest that I could find to my problem. If a mod feels that it should be moved to a more fitting place please do so. Thank you!...

Nvm, I got the solved bit.

Can't find a +1 for you, sorry :(. Thank you nonetheless!

@grahammechanical:

*sigh* what can I say? It was late yesterday and I saw sda4 straight away not looking left or right. Now you know why I still put this in "New to Ubuntu" ;)

Thanks a lot! One...

Hi Guys,

I have a strange problem to which I could not find a solution. After re-install of Windows 7 thanks to a Windows 10 upgrade that essentially made my PC a random blue screen creator, I now...

Apologies, but I am still stuck on this one and I feel lost without my ubuntu :(

Hi folks,

I just finished the installation of the 14.04.1.

Thanks for your comment and the link FWIW.

I installed 14.04.2 newly and I cannot find an iso with 14.04.1. Could you link me to a repository where I can still download the older release?...

Anyone has an idea about this?

Thanks in advance

Hi folks,

A new PC, the usual ubuntu installation problems. This time after installation, GRUB does not want to show its beautiful grimace.

First my specs (the ones I think can be important):

Hmmm..., I want to mark this thread as solved, but I do not have the option in thread tools. Has this policy been abandoned or do we just edit the title now? I saw in the sticky that it is still...

Ok, folks, I solved the problem. It turned out to be the same issue as here:

@dino99: Thanks a lot for your reply. That is so weird. I just double-checked again. I wasn't thinking straight for the first post. Just typing the facts ;)

Hi folks,

I recently switched my OS on my old laptop from Ubuntu to Xubuntu12.04 and ever since then I can't import certain libraries into python anymore. For some reason, many new modules are...

Ok folks,

I am still stumped on this problem, but I have made progress. I have adapted the example below from this post here that describes the procedure for pygtk. This example works fine.

@bird1500: Thanks for your input! I think gtkmm is just the name of the library for C++ (I may be wrong though, but this page suggests it)

I will try to look for a Glib::signal_idle() equivalent...

I've been trying to use a progressbar in GTK+ 3 lately, but during the processes where a progressbar is needed to show that it's working, my GUI freezes up during the call. At least when...
