I've now tested this with 4 different distros and observed the exact same behavior. If I boot a live disk via USB on my 2012 iMac, my Apple keyboard and mouse remain paired with the iMac without so...

the solution is simple. /dev/sdb1 needs to be mounted at boot. You can add a permanent mount point by creating a folder somewhere (/mnt/ or /media/ are good choices, ex; /mnt/data) and then add...

I kind of figured that might be the case. unfortunately, my router is not on the compatibility list for DD-WRT or OpenWRT (I've checked...)

Okay, this isn't really an ubuntu specific question but I figure this is a good place to ask.

I am running ESXi and have about a half dozen guests on it. If I want to enable a service, say SSH...

you are probably right about needing to make a VBA macro at some point. But as for right now, it gets the job done and it automates a process that used to take a technician a couple hours to do...

YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!! I had to dig a bit to find a Win32 build of Gnumeric but I found one and I'm happy to report that now with the help of one .bat file, 5 .sh scripts, a couple Linux binaries on...

thanks. unfortunately for me, this is on cygwin. I'm a Mac/Linux guy but my new position requires me to use Microsoft. I think I already made some of my coworkers paranoid when I told them that I...

I figure I'll ask the question here, even though it's probably better suited for a site like superuser or VMUG.

Specifically here is what I'm doing. I administer a few thousand virtual machines...

I have set up an L2TP VPN server following the instructions found here https://raymii.org/s/tutorials/IPSEC_L2TP_vpn_with_Ubuntu_14.04.html

If I'm at home on my network I can connect to my L2TP...

I may be way off base here, maybe I am not understanding what the point of a VPN is. It was my understanding that connecting to your VPN will give you a secure way to expose ALL of your network to a...

You are not listening to what I'm saying. I HAVE A CORE 2 DUO. My computer is 64 bit as well. I am running Windows 8 Pro 64 bit, Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit and Mac OS X 10.6.8 which is ALSO 64...

I know that you said your computer supports up to 8GB of RAM, but are you absolutely sure about that? I am on an IBM Thinkpad T60 right now which has 4GB of RAM installed in it. It has an i915...

no one is demanding anything, least of all customer service. I'm in a minority of one apparently so this conversation has obviously run it's course. Apparently I am the only person on this thread...

No, once again you are missing the point, and bordering on trolling. Unity is fine if you like it. I personally don't, and I don't care for Shell either. I would probably find them tolerable if...

no Haqking, I'm not complaining that I can change distros or DEs, I'm pointing out that I HAVE TO in order to regain functionality that used to part of the Gnome Desktop's appeal. The number of...

As I said, I paid for my copy of OSX. I purchased Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion all from Apple directly. Apple could certainly sue me or hit me with a cease and desist order, but I doubt...

I agree, KDE is a prime example of what I'm talking about. There aren't 15 different versions of KDE, there are effectively 2. There is Trinity, which I already addressed and is for the most part...

F-Spot was awesome back in the day. Haven't used it in a long time though.

I've been around for just as long, and we clearly have differing view points. However, there is no reason why our different preferences are necessarily incompatible with one another. I don't view...

I fail to see how my preferences are incompatible with yours. If I had my way, Gnome 3 would be perfectly capable of offering you and I the desktop that we would like without the current...

And therein lies my problem. Ubuntu is essentially turning it's back on it's long standing user base and their preferences in favor of pushing their brand on emerging markets. Granted, from a...

well played. But you can admit that you are a singular anomaly in a world dominated by Windows.

not exactly, but close enough for government work I guess. I want the robustness and customizability that Gnome 2 had in Gnome 3. They never should have released Gnome 3 with LESS functionality...

What exactly do you mean? In my experience, the forums have always been a great place to ask questions and share ideas. I can't speak for everyone but I have gone out of my way since joining the...

Paddy, I am speaking solely on the state of Linux on the Desktop, not embedded systems, smart phones or tablets. What happens to Gnome 3 does not affect ATMs, wristwatches, or Android phones, so the...
