Hello,

Yes, I think thats what it was. Sorry I had not checked in, I was busy. It does seem to be the startup script. Thanks!

Hello,

I left my laptop briefly unattended while I used the restroom at a coffee shop. I asked the owner to keep an eye on the machine for me. Later, I wanted to see what type of encryption they...

Hello,

So, I tried playing with totem from command line. Here is one error I got:

(totem:2851): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: _gst_util_uint64_scale_int: assertion `denom > 0' failed

Hello,

I like to play music files with the movie player. Sometimes, the player will get stuck after playing one or two seconds of the song. The program remains responsive, but the progress bar...

Hello,

You could also try Xubuntu, its less resource intensive so it should be a little smoother on a VM. It is also very similar to ubuntu (the only difference should be the window manager) so...

This was one of the first things I tried since it has always been the cause of my webcam issues! However, it did not work this time. I'll try booting from a live cd and seeing if its detected that...

Just for the record, my post also clarified this point. :(

I suspect the files you were unable to backup are owned by root and you may not be allowed to read them (some files owned by root are readable by any user.)

Backing those up may not be worth it....

I run two mint (nadia, one cinnamon and one mate) guests on an ubuntu 12.04 host and I have noticed that they are generally slower than the windows XP guest. I give them the max allowed video...

I would not worry about that. Also, if you are sharing these files via email, some email servers like gmail scan files for you. I imagine others do the same. clamav is also a good option, but if...

I dont know if I am understanding correctly, but you mentioned the utilization of a vritual machine running a windows guest. My impression was that you wanted to use the virtual box to utilize...

Also, the password requested by sudo is your user password. For example, in my computer, my user name is joe, so when I do sudo, I enter the same password I enter when I log in as joe.

Sound Converter (software center) allows you to choose an entire directory and it will convert all files in the directory to a target file type specified by you. This is a GUI, so if you need...

I wanted to make sure it was hardware before I contacted them, since, if its a hardware issue, fixing it will probably involve shipping the machine, and I cant do that. right now. Oh well... I'll...

Since it works with cheese, there might be a way to make it work with skype. Have you tried:

EDIT: Also ...

I have been trying with cheese. I also tried the tests in


gstreamer-properties

and that did not detect it either. Most tutorials I saw said to try v4l1 and v4l2 but I only had v4l2 as a...

Well, I am assuming that your windows installation has its own NTFS partition. If that is the case, delete anything you dont need and resize the partition. That way the resulting virtual hard disk...

Also, I think if you did not install the restricted extras you wont have java. So, if you are only using the restricted-addons (but not the entire restricted extras package) you should be fine.

I dont know. I would try parted magic or gparted to resize the windows partition before doing the move. That said, I have never resized a partition to make it smaller (only bigger, it was a virtual...

I was wondering, do you think its possible that the UEFI installation was installed along a legacy installation? I have never dealt with the UEFI stuff, and it looks like a small mistake can grow...

You could try dd the image of the disc onto a vdi file stored on an external hard drive with enough space. I doubt these boot the same way, so the virtualization software may not be able to boot it....

A bit off topic, but Ophcrack cant be used to crack an encrypted HDD, its only for the windows password, correct?

Hello,

I have a PanP6 purchased in Dec 2009. Everything has been great. I installed ubuntu 12.04 and cant seem to get the webcam to show up. I tried the Fn Keys. I also tried a few commands...

I think the /dev/sdXY refers to something else. To see the name of your device, type


mount

That will give you the info of all your mounted devices and partitions (thats where you will see...
