  1. Going from triple boot to dual boot, and moving partitions around on hard drive

    Hi everyone,

    So here's my situation. I have a triple boot on my laptop. Windows 8.1, Ubuntu 14.04, and Fedora 19. I hardly ever use the Fedora boot, so I want to remove it. Plus, I want to move my...
  2. [ubuntu] Re: Issue loading with External WD HDD on Ubuntu but not Windows 7

    Hi Durabys,

    When you first plugged the drive in on Windows, did you run any of the Western Digital Utilities? If so, you probably locked (encrypted) the drive. You'll have to re-run the utilities...
  3. Re: Hiss sound with Ubuntu 64-bit LTS 14.04 and Nvidia GT610

    I'm going to be one of those "me too" people right now. I've got the same card, and am using the 331 drivers also. The TV is an Apex 32", so it's not the tv itself that's causing the issue. Right...
  4. triple-boot ubuntu/fedora/Windows 8 grub2 issues

    Hi everyone,

    I'm running into some strange issues with a triple-boot (Windows 8.1, Ubuntu 14.04, and Fedora 19). I've got both Windows 8 and Ubuntu loading fine (using Ubuntu's GRUB bootloader)....

  8. [SOLVED] Re: Python stopping and creating a new timer with the same variable name

    Thank you for the reply. So, if I want a minimum of one hour, I'd use 60*intUpdateInterval then right? (the code would be set up so if the intUpdateInterval < 60, it will default to 60).

    So...

    [SOLVED] Re: help make code shorter?

    It appears that you're using an array for the kanji, and english translations. So, you should be able to do something like this:


    index = random(10)

    Without having read kevinharper's reply, I'll say this:

    DBA is Data Base Access (for Berkley Databases) (I'm guessing this based on ODBC)
    ODBC is Open Data Base Connectivity.

    They are the...

    Re: infinite loop

    I'll take a stab at this (the explanation).

    The while runs if $name is null (or empty).
    The first thing it does is prompt for a name.
    Then it reads the response.
    It checks if the response is...
  13. [SOLVED] Python stopping and creating a new timer with the same variable name

  15. Re: What would you call the stripe at the top of the screen?

    I know we hashed this out on the mailing list, but I wanted to throw my two cents worth in.

  19. [ubuntu] Re: automatic login built-in guest account

    This might get you started. It's about setting Ubuntu up as a Kiosk. Although it might not solve the problem of erasing the files, but I'm sure that's covered somewhere.
