I just bought an SSD to replace the 2 hard drives (primary Ubuntu, secondary Windows 7) in my main computer. I was planning on cloning the Windows drive and then do a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04...
I have Ubuntu 16.04 LTS installed as listed in my profile here.
I figured I could boot directly to my Windows drive by selecting it in the BIOS, but it no longer show up in the Boot Drive Priority...
I restarted to boot to my Windows 7 drive and the GRUB came up with a Windows 10 loader in place of the old Windows 7 loader. I had not upgraded to Windows 10, so this was unusual. I selected the...
My system (cursor) froze up on me and after several minutes I pressed the reboot button and it simply shut down instead of rebooting. So I restarted, (and after clearing bad inodes), 2 files (a...
So I'm guessing with 32 GB RAM, I can delete the swap partition entirely? I'm pretty sure all my computers have at least 4 GB RAM, so probably want to check the swap partition sizes on all of them...
I have an 80 GB drive that I had installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on and was a spare for a while. I put it into a new build to test the hardware. Everything worked fine and I updated it to 16.04 LTS. After...
Another reason I stopped using/installing Windows is that when I need to move drives between computers for a new/refurbishing build, Ubuntu simply works. Windows, on the other (annoying, frustrating,...
I'm getting extremely slow file copy speeds (450 kB/sec) over gigabit Ethernet. I've power-cycled the router and both switches (all gigabit ports) and rebooted both computers I'm copying from and to,...
Actually I had found some instructions on configuring the wireless in Linux. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to boot to try that out. I'm not sure either the SuperGrub2 or rEFInd solutions will work...
I have a 2008 MacBook Pro (2.4 GHz) that was given to me with the keyboard unscrewed and missing a hard drive. I put in a hard drive with Windows 7 from an old non-powering Dell laptop and it booted...
My main computer and an old laptop are still dual boot. I'm thinking about pulling the PC's Windows 7 drive and reformatting the laptop to only have Ubuntu, but I think I need to keep a copy of...
I opened the case and made sure all the SATA cables were tight, then rebooted and was able to run a Short self-test. When I try to run a Conveyance or Extended test, I get the below errors:

I've been having trouble copying files to this data hard drive (on my file server through local sharing) and a few times lately the drive won't mount. All the SMART data is OK, but when I try to run...
I just found this thread about remapping a superblock: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1245536
However, when I run
$ sudo mke2fs -n /dev/sdb1
it says:
mke2fs 1.42.13 (17-May-2015)...
I just got the error again, this time with a completely different file and directory. I rebooted the server and the data drive in it that I use to back up my data from my main computer wouldn't...
I have owner read/write permissions and am logged in as the owner on both computers. I ran into the problem again last night and the only fix was to reboot the server.
I have noticed strange sounds...
When I try to open a shared directory, gedit opens with a message "smb://[path] is a directory", where path is the directory that I shared. Before, I used to be able to view the local network shared...
I fixed the problem (again) by rebooting, deleting the directory locally, then was able to copy the directory back from the other computer. I'm basically using this computer as a file server for...
I get the above error when I try to open a file. When I (local network) share it from this computer and tried to open it from another computer, I get a permission denied error. Somewhere (I can't...
That fixed it.
Thanks.
When I select the upper right menu, "About This Computer", the panel always comes up with the button in the lower right saying "Install Updates". Even after I click "Install Updates", and it checks,...
I got the above error trying to copy a file from my main desktop 16.0.4 PC to my file server 16.0.4 desktop. I first got this error a couple of days ago and when I tried to open the file from my...
Lubuntu 16.04.1 installed ok on the laptop as well.
I guess I need to try upgrading to the latest version that was released last month when I have more time like over the Christmas to New Years...
I wasn't aware of Lubuntu-core. I never tried Ubuntu-server because I didn't want to deal without a GUI and using command line to copy files (the oldest PC and newer/faster replacements were simply...
