I have tried for over a year to get my HP Deskjet 2540 to work wirelessly. I have read all post which purport to explain how to do it - all say that their method is...

It's a 10in tablet , not a phone, but it's battery indicator shows it is charging, Nautilus shows it is there but there is just a blank space where files and folders should be.

Have now read, marked and inwardly digested the link you provided. Original post now edited to show terminal output 'between code tags' - hope I did it right :-)

Thanks for your comment; you may well be correct but, sadly, I have no idea what is meant by 'using the code tags'.
I apologize for the long terminal output in my post but I wanted to include it all...

In complete desperation I downloaded the latest version of Ubuntu 16.04 and installed it. MAGIC! Everything works as it should; can 'see' my two Seagate drives and Permissions allow me to Read/Write....

I'm so sorry to be so thick, but I don't understand the kind replies so far received.

Sorry to say Oldfred, your post doesn't mean a lot to me, though the bit "Sector size (logical/physical): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes" rings a bell, I think my drives have such sectors.
If it is of any...

In desperation I abandoned hope of being able to use the Seagates with the Ubuntu 14.04 that I had installed. Rebooted and installed a fresh 14.04. NOW I can't open either drive and my Logitech...

Hadn't used Windows for over 15 years, but about 2 years ago I dual-booted a Windows 7 OS at the same time as loading Ubuntu 14.04. I only did so because my grandson (an IT manager) suggested it as a...

Both Seagate drives are formatted NTFS, a single partition in each. Up until very recently I was able to use them without any restrictions - can't fathom what went wrong.
Very grateful for your...

Thank you, tried to do what you suggest but it didn't work for me. After I had pasted your code into
gedit ~/.local/share/applications/QCAD.desktop nothing happened,
what should have happened?

Yes, locked on by right click in the usual way, however QCAD only stays locked to Launcher whilst it is running, unlocks when closed.

I use QCAD a lot. For those not familiar it's a CAD program, the 'standard' version is open-source, free to download and use. There is also a Pro version for sale (which I use) which is slightly...

Downloaded free version (which is QCAD 3.12.5 btw),reinstalled and everything is back to normal.
Many thanks for everyone's help.

Many thanks for your reply, sorry I confused the issue by using Launchpad instead of Launchbar.
Sorry too that you couldn't help me - here's hoping someone else can!
