Is there a font you would recommend?

Running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Firefox 36.0 is unable to show some of the Unicode symbols.
For example 1F422 which is the emoji for a turtle. http://www.iemoji.com/view/emoji/666/nature/turtle

I ran the Common Ports test at https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?rh1dkyd2
and FTP and SSH ports shows as Closed but not Stealth.

Anything I can do in Ubuntu to fix this?

I may be taking a temporary job out-of-state.

If I stay at a hotel with public wifi, would the best option for me to get a VPN account even though I am using Linux?

No, there isn't a /dev/sda3.
Not sure what happened to it.
The extended partition appears to be /dev/sda4.

I had followed a tutorial for triple-booting XP, Win7, and Ubuntu.

I guess there...

My hard drive originally had partitions for XP, Win7, and Ubuntu 12.04.
XP was /dev/sda1
Win7 was /dev/sda2
Ubuntu was /dev/sda5
swap was /dev/sda6


Can someone explain to me why there isn't...

I have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS installed in a triple boot with Windows XP and Windows 7 on a Dell M6300 mobile workstation aka laptop.

It has worked fine for over a year.

Tonight when I turned on the...

Thank you.

Yes, this is an old laptop, so I am going to keep the default video driver. :)

In that case, I have no idea.

I use Windows XP for my very simple DVD authoring and burning needs.

Thanks for the reply.

The install is on an ancient Dell Latitude C840.

Since I had just installed the OS with nothing to lose, I decided to re-install Ubuntu again. The next time it suggests...

Sometimes it is the blank media that you are using.

There is only Ubuntu on this laptop.

I don't even get the Grub screen to try any fixes.

It just boots straight into Ubuntu, and then I hear the drumroll.

How do I fix this problem?

When I browse to http://localhost/drupal I get a blank web page.

It seems that Drupal expects to be in the web server's root directory. Numerous pages on the web about trying to install Drupal...

I want to try out Drupal on this old laptop which has Ubuntu 12.04 LTS installed.

I installed Apache2, PHP5, and MySQL per http://funwithlinux.net/2012/05/ubuntu-12-04-web-server/ and all went...

I followed the instructions at http://alexsleat.co.uk/2012/04/11/ubuntu-12-04-moving-the-windows-buttons-back-to-the-right/ to move them to the right.

That worked fine.

But now after one of...

Post by Maximus_ARNP works beautifully for Ubuntu 12.04 with wired connection.

With 12.04 I did not have to install any drivers.

I deleted the external hard drive's entry from /etc/fstab file.
Ubuntu was wanting to automount it at boot.

I have some data files on an external hard drive.

I just did a clean install of 12.04.

I noticed this morning that if I don't have the external hard drive connected, Ubuntu won't boot.

Why?

Thanks everyone.

I don't want to host a website on this server; I just want to use it to share files across the various PCs in my own network.

I currently have a cable modem connected to a router by Ethernet cable.

And I have powerline Ethernet devices so that other PCs throughout the home connects to the internet through that router.

Happened again to me this morning.

I don't have Newsfox.

It is quite annoying.

It happens when clicking any link not just bookmarks toolbar.

Ubuntu 11.04 32-bit

Thanks.

I went to Applications Menu -> Settings -> Desktop, but there wasn't an option for either volumes or partitions.

Looks like it isn't available in xfce.

Is there a way to have the icon for the XP partition show up on the desktop?

The partition is mounted.

The above steps worked for the Broadcom 4311 in my Dell Latitude D620 though I didn't do step #5 about the firmware installer.

I don't normally use wifi, but it bugged me that I couldn't see any...

My ultimate goal is to edit out some of the 3 minute video while at the same time replacing some of the audio. Purely as a learning experience.
So I thought demuxing and then editing each of the...
