  1. Re: How to change screen resolution without video

    You can use ALT-F2 and type "terminal" (then enter). This should open a terminal, and then you can use command line to change the resolution.

    This looks promising, but you'll probably have to...
  2. Re: Another 'back to ubuntu' thread : )

    I'm going to try using online Office 365 instead of native Office 2016. And I'll try to use Audacity instead of Audition.

    The next step is to get OneDrive working, which is also essential. I...
  3. Re: Another 'back to ubuntu' thread : )

    Good idea. I thought you had to pay for online Office, but I guess not. At least, it seems to be free for me. All I have to do is login with my (free) MS account.
  4. Another 'back to ubuntu' thread : )

    Yup, it's back to lubuntu for me. Why? Because Windows 7/10 are both incredibly slow on my aging Athlon X2 64 5000+ system.

    Windows 7 didn't used to be slow, but for some reason it is now. I...
  5. Re: Best Linux distro for 32 bits old computer with 2GB ram?

    For an advanced user, perhaps so. But for a user asking a question like this in ubuntuforums, almost certainly not. I mean, I'm not a newbie anymore since I've been using linux for over a decade. ...
  6. Re: Will update wipe out all my data?

    Last I checked, Hitachi made the most reliable HDDs, whereas Western Digital and other mfctrs had seriously high failure rates. Not sure if that's still the case.

    Also, I wouldn't buy a used HDD...
  7. Re: Will update wipe out all my data?

    Not if you know what you're doing, no. However, since you're asking, that means you're new at this, and had better take precautions. So, definitely back up any important data. Hopefully you won't...
  8. [all variants] Re: I re-installed windows 7, did I just kill my lubuntu partition?

    Good news! I tried testdisk and I believe I have recovered my partition perfectly. Well, almost perfectly. (Grub2 won't install for some reason so I can't actually boot into it.)

    But...
  9. [all variants] Re: I re-installed windows 7, did I just kill my lubuntu partition?

    Thanks it sounds like testdisk is my best option. I'm going to search for more info, but in the mean time, if anyone has any experience with testdisk please feel free to chime in : )
  10. [all variants] Re: I re-installed windows 7, did I just kill my lubuntu partition?

    Well, what used to be the lubuntu partition is now showing up as the "extended" container (sda4). But I've read that extended containers aren't mountable, because they're not really partitions, but...
  11. [all variants] I re-installed windows 7, did I just kill my lubuntu partition?

    I knew re-installing Windows 7 would kill grub, but that could be fixed. Apparently though the Windows 7 installer screwed with my partitions. When I boot into a live usb lubuntu I get this from...
  12. make a usb linux installation with more than 4GB persistent space

  18. [ubuntu] re-encoding downloaded videos to HD video

  24. [SOLVED] Re: encoding video at low bitrates, any suggestions?

    Awesome! Thanks so much!

    For some reason the m4p extension didn't work, so I used mpeg instead. Any further suggestions there?

    Otherwise it worked great! Thanks again!
