I noticed that as well. I didn't actually do anything different. There is only one script on the page, from ubuntuforums.org. It's whitelisted already (it had to be to log in, before I even...

In this thread I just posted the formatting all kept getting stripped once it was posted.
I edited it and added a link to a pastebin post I made to make it readable,a nd to show you guys how it...

OS: Ubuntu, Win 7, Kali, Mint I've tried a LOT of troubleshooting techniques, but nothing has helped so far. :(

The basic problem: My usb adapter ( Alfa AWUS051NH v2 ) constantly...

I already tried system monitor, but i could never find out which process was using the HDD so much. I'll keep your suggestions in mind, though. Thanks

Also, Thanks for the TOP suggestion. That...

wow, that's odd.

Have you considered making a new folder in that folder, and then putting everything in that subfolder? Then you would still get the ./ but it would be empty at least.

What I said is 100% true. I've used win 10 since before it came out. (Unfortunately,) I work with it every day. Unless they have released an update that is stopping the ridiculous restrictions,...

you might find something useful on this thread. I didn't see a simple --no-parent option, but there seem to be other ways...

All I will say is give it time. Back in 2011 when you started, there were basically no mainstream games on Linux. Very few. Steam recently passed 1500 Linux games. Something like 30% of their...

I have a process that is a major resource hog atm, and I am all out of guesses. How do I identify the culprit?

I assumed it was a file indexer, but all the ones I could find (nepomuk, updatedb)...

I'll look up rsync. Thanks for the suggestion.

I also considered a shell script,, but I have no script-writing experience at all. I've never even used them. I know the general idea of their...

I suddenly noticed my hard drive grinding full-out and not stopping. all i hear is the hdd grinding, and closing programs seems to do nothing. caja is using 60%+ cpu, 100% HDD, all my RAM, and...

the only thing I need to do that I can't figure out with wget is, given the attached basic file structure, download:

A,B,C,C,B,C,C, and so forth

instead of the default method of recursive:

I apparently have metacity as my default (window manager?), but I would like compiz. I have the compiz config settings manager all up and running... but when I try

I remember Doom, the Wing Commander Series, Myst, and others in the early 90's, but there were others before that. I remember putting in hours and hours on the Oregon Trail in our computer lab on...

OK, thanks for the explanation peeps! It simply being opt-in now really guts all the potentially negative effects.

thanks!!! I drag-n-dropped it. it started, then said I needed to run it as superuser again. So I did the same thing, but before hitting enter,, I arrowed to the beginning of the string it...

Looked up "FUD" ( a new term for me) and unity and came up with this: http://www.datamation.com/open-source/fallout-from-ubuntus-new-shopping-lens-1.html

This appears to be a site that dispells...

(FWIW, I'm trying to install AMD graphics drivers so I can use Steam for Linux.)

So I went into preferences and set .run files to run as default. I right-clicked the file to make it executable. ...

I was doing some troubleshooting before, and after many hours I figured out that my problem was the channels I wanted to use were muted, so I simply unmuted all channels (see bottom of...

I've noticed that the default sound is modified... the bass and treble are turned up, basically. This is causing audio distortion and clipping in music and in games I play. Since this is done at a...

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So everything was working (probably since the very beginning... sigh). However, the most common outputs are muted by default (for whatever reason). So I muted all...

down the rabbit hole I go...

so I found this command to list active sound modules (devices?):
mint@local ~ $ cat /proc/asound/modules
0 snd_hda_intel
1 snd_hda_intel
2 snd_hda_intel

I've attached 2 images. one is the alsamixer once I navigate to the sound devices. The other (SP DIF) is what I see when I open alsamixer in terminal.

It almost looks like SP DIF is default and...
