I just had to rebuild an Ubuntu 22.04 machine due to a lack of disk space on the boot drive. It was only a 120GB SSD which is plenty to run on, but one of my applications filled it up and brought...
What are the pros/cons of adding swap partitions???
Wayne
This command returns column headings, but no entries.
Dang. I guess I really need to start paying more attention to release notes. I didn't know that swap partitions were a thing of history.
OK, so a swap file is created somewhere. Where is it,...
I a couple of old I7 computers that I have installed Ubuntu 22.04 onto. They have been running ok (One has some startup/shutdown issues, but runs ok when up) for a couple of weeks, but I haven't...
Thanks for all the info. I am in no hurry to upgrade to 22.04 since 20.04 has been rock solid for me, but keeping up-to-date with some of the latest features can't be a bad thing (he says with...
Just curious. I have 2 machines running 20.04 that I would like to upgrade to 22.04, but I prefer using the "standard" upgrade path instead of going rogue and doing it manually. I have read that...
Sorry for the confusion. I am not usually this disorganized, but did I mention the chaos in the house? (including one old self-centered ******* with prostate cancer and dementia) Anyway, Yes, THIS...
All hell has broken loose in the household, but I finally got the boot info done. Here is the link https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Y5sdKpX5Nr/ .
I have an Ubuntu 22.04 installation that has been running perfectly for 2 years. Today when I turned the machine on, I got the subject message.
I booted a start-up disk, and using gparted I see...
I am trying to install Ubuntu 21.04 as a Virtualbox guest vm on a Ubuntu 20.04 host. With the host machine booted all the way, I insert the dvd, wait for it to get mounted, and then launch the guest...
I have been using gedit to update config files for a 3d printer connected to a RPi3 for a while now. I have not used it for a few weeks (3? 4?), but now it just does not work. When I open gedit...
I read that, and it applies to "Removable Drives" like USB drives, SD cards, and the like. It doesn't apply to fstab mounted network drives. Network mapped drives are not removable in that sense.
Nothing major. Everything seems to be working as it should. It's just trying to get everything customized the way I like it. I'm almost there but this one thing bugs me. On 16.04 with Unity,...
Thanks Morbius. Your first option "vers=1.0,sec=ntlm" did the trick. I had tried putting in just the vers=1.0 by itself earlier and it had no effect. Adding the sec=ntlm to it works, but now I...
I am having a devil of a time trying to get a cifs volume mounted in fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04. I've been working on this for two days (off and on, mostly off though). I have copied settings...
I have Ubuntu 16.04 installed on my desktop machine. I think there was an update to the nVidia drivers not too long ago and that is when this started. I can have several windows open like Firefox...
I knew I came to the right place. Thanks guys.
For this desktop file the %f parameter was just the ticket. That got me to the point where I could select it as the default program to open .stl...
I have just started dipping my toes into 3D printing and one of the applications that seems to be very popular is Cura. I have downloaded the appimage and it works fine, and I have made a .desktop...
Mc4man - "pkexec gedit" and "pkexec nautilus" commands will launch the applications, but the menu at the top is missing. This makes it a little difficult for many operations like find/replace for...
Sorry for the late reply, but nautilus-admin was already installed. I cannot find the "as administrator" for neither gedit nor nautilus (now files).
Wayne
I tried that, but I still don't get the menu bar at the top for gedit.
Wayne
This is a fresh install of 16.04 desktop today. When I went to try and use pkexec to start gedit as root, after the password prompt I get:
Failed to connect to Mir: Failed to connect to server...
mv .Xauthority .Xauthority
exit
When I tried the move command it just came back ans said the two files "are the same file" and I presume didn't do anything. Is one of them supposed to be a...
