A month ago I got a dell xps 13 and installed Ubuntu 15.04. Getting the wireless was a pain as it involved tethering my phone to the laptop and then installing the broadcom proprietary drivers....
As a gamer, I find it annoying and impractical that whenever I alt+right click the game window minimises in order to bring up a dialog regarding the current window. I lose focus, and because I...
I think this problem is specific to chrome/chromium; the sound cracks occasionally. I looked it up and found it might have something to do with the audio buffer size. If I want to change the audio...
Remember that in Linux terms 'remove' is absolute. Not all Linux distros have a trash folder, so be careful next time.
I'm surprised you managed to install Ubuntu on a machine with 512 MB of RAM! ;-o Google Chrome has its own flash-player in it, and you don't need to install flashplayer because that's included in the...
Typing all that just to check the weather? You should try My-Weather-Indicator! It's great because I can view the weather and temperature in celsius.
You could always use the command line method, but I found that it screws up your USB insofar that gParted/startup disk creator won't even recognise it. Do this only as a last resort:
dd bs=3M...
Linux in general is better than Windows solely because the former doesn't give you root access by default and is very password-oriented. That's just the tip of the iceberg tho; there are many things...
I dunno, but your best bet is to disable the setting if it bothers you.
Xubuntu has a feature which disables the touchpad while typing. There are also other options regarding a touchpad. I don't have an XFCE DE right now, but you'll most definitely find the appropriate...
If a touchpad isn't recognised, then it's safe to assume that the drivers haven't been installed or configured correctly. I suggest scouting for the driver on the repositories, which should really be...
The proposed Linux recursive acronym would be an allusion to GNU's recursive acronym which suggests that there is a relationship between Linux and GNU. I don't want to light the fires and guard the...
If a program freezes, open up the terminal or tty1 (CTRL+ALT+F1) and:
pkill -SIGKILL ##PROGRAM YOU WANT TO KILL##
e.g....
pkill -SIGKILL firefox
Joli OS development is (unfortunately) going to be discontinued, but are there any other cloud-based distros that are similar to Joli OS? I'm very interested in cloud computing and things like Joli...
I have disabled DHCP on my router's configuration page so I can use a static IP Address. How do I go about this? I tried using the Network GUI on Ubuntu 13.04 but when I choose 'Manual' and then...
I am trying to compile an openGL program using freeglut which I installed on my Ubuntu installation. When I try to compile my program under Qt creator, I get the following errors:
error:...
I'm not really that convinced with UEFI, and prefer the old system because it works for me. In which case I'll boot Ubuntu without an EFI partition; with legacy boot enabled; with all other...
Last I checked everything seemed to work flawlessly.
I just need to know if I am required to keep the EFI partition or not.
I got a new laptop which had Windows 8 pre-installed (yuck!) and am determined to completely erase Windows 8 and install Ubuntu over the entire hard drive instead. I disabled Secure Boot and enabled...
Can you make a list of problems you're receiving? Also, upgrading to the latest version is probably the best choice since it has more up-to-date drivers through the kernel, which can be installed on...
If you really just wanted to try out Ubuntu, you should have installed it on a Virtual Machine or simply try out the LIVE CD. It's possible that you might have done something that causes your Windows...
Why did you format your USB through gparted? It's unnecessary since your USB is formated anyway through Startup Disk Creator. My USB is formated as NTFS but still works. What did you format your USB...
I've now installed Ubuntu, overriding my previous Linux installation: Xubuntu. I had 8GB of swap with the latter, and now I have partitioned my hard drive to accommodate 2GB instead. In both distros,...
I've just migrated from Xubuntu 13.04 to Ubuntu 13.04 and I think the experience I'm having with Unity is overriding my previous experiences with Unity on my other machine through previous versions...
