Thank you for the info, I've had a quick search and read of the Mozilla page and Enigmail site. Not something I'd consider at the moment, given I'm only slowly moving non technical friends/contacts...
I've no idea if your account is secure as it is, if you're only using it on your iphone and Ubuntu then it's more likely to be.
If you really are concerned do the following:
1) Ensure your...
Unusual but given Windows is recognising it, sounds like it's an issue with the actual Windows OS rather than the Vbox. Can you get other USB drives/devices to work in the Windows guest OS?
A...
I may be giving you info you already know but the settings on Facebook allow you to turn off/on e-mail notifications for various features, mine are all off, I'd suggest you change/check yours to...
This is an old thread and 4.1 is the old version. Did you follow the instructions here:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
Just seen this:

That should answer a few of your queries (and mine).
Considering your experience, Virtualbox should be quite straightforward to set up. The instructions on their website are excellent. In answer to your question, you can share folders between virtual...
I can't fault Virtualbox with guest additions installed (for the features you want), it allowed me to make the switch from dual booting. I used it after reading a review in linux journal where...
Re the laptop being a piece of trash, I've given plenty of laptops older than yours a new lease of life, just requires tailoring your linux distro and packages to your hardware e.g Lubuntu/Xubuntu.
Did you check to see if there is a BIOS update available on the manufacturers website? I'd still be tempted to do that while you've got your Windows partition; typically the BIOS update tool will be...

Try to enter the BIOS by pressing F2 button when ASUS logo appears.
No problem and thanks.
1) What flavour of Ubuntu are you trying to install?
2)Are you using the 32 bit or 64 bit version, if it's the latter make sure your CPU supports 64 bit instruction sets.
3) Try booting the...
Agreed. I was emphasising the point that Canon's support was pretty good with .deb packages and a potential 'click' based approach to installing (all be it through a process of elimination re 32...
This is a very old thread but in case anyone comes across the same problem, it resolved with a later version of Ubuntu.
1) Are you happy with the iso, have you used md5checksum to check the data integrity?

2) Did you burn the disk as data rather than an image i.e...
Canon provide pretty good linux support in my experience. pdc has provided an excellent walk-through but for complete newcomers the process can be made even simpler using the deb packages and a few...
Would it possible to change my username to archery? My current one is my email address (or the prefix of_ and too similar to my name, archery is one I use on other forums.

Your laptop uses Nvidia Optimus hardware:

The setup is not as straightforward as it otherwise might have been. Have a read of this thread:...
OK, looking through your posts I can see you mentioned your vga out wasn't working. The laptop model you refer to has an Nvidia Graphics card. As a starting point I'd make sure your familiar with...
Glad that you have a solution that works, I tried Wine but some functions weren't supported for Office 2003, this was a while ago. Also it seemed a bit ugly.
With the hardware you've got, I'm...
I use an Lubuntu 12.10 x64 host to run Windows 7 as a guest OS in Virtualbox.
I assume the laptop is relatively new and has a CPU with virtualisation support and at least 4 GB RAM?
If so, don't...
Yep been through all that as well but thanks for the input.
Ok, it appears no one can help currently. To update I've tried the HDMI out on another monitor and the problem persists so was about to start by updating the xorg drivers from the post below but...
When using the HDMI out on my acer 1810tz the output blanks/switches off every 10-30s or so and then comes back on. There doesn't seem to be a pattern though it is less frequent on lower resolutions....
