Update for anyone interested...

Have now set up two Lenovo Yoga 500s - one for myself and one for a family member. Both installed with Linux Mint 17.3 and very pleased with the end result. There...

Robert,
Many thanks for taking the time to write such a complete and helpful reply. Doubly helpful as I had one delivered from the same supplier yesterday - an act of faith in Ubuntu! First...

Am looking at obtaining a Lenovo Yoga 500 14" as the physical format suits my needs. Having looked around at the usual sources I have been unable to find any comprehensive information of the...

Great. Many thanks for the detail.

Thanks for the suggestion. What is needed in the installation of that TV stick on 14.04?

I would like to add a second DVB-T dongle to an old Freecom device already happily working on a media server (Ubuntu Server 14.04). I have referred to the likes http://www.linuxtv.org but am still...

The problem with MySQL issues in XAMPP is that by default there is no error logging in MySQL.
So if you are having problems getting MySQL to run, add the following line to /opt/lampp/etc/my.cnf...

General > Save session on logout, or Session > Save Session has no effect on this.
However the tip to watch the files is a good one. I had assumed that they only got updated on shutdown, so had been...

No - unfortunately not.



Er - fairly conventionally. My log-in is the user generated on installation, with sudo powers if necessary.

This is an Xubuntu 12.04 desktop PC with encrypted Home and Swap folders.
Adding or changing order of launchers in a panel reverts to the previous setting after a reboot, but not after a panel...

Just done a clean install as suggested, and getting the same symptoms. At start of install there is an error message about "undefined video mode 314", but otherwise install was OK.

I think a reinstall on the new hardware might be the appropriate way forward here, just in case something else has been corrupted.

Thanks for your thoughts on this.

Ah thanks - doing that shows same patterns of text, but with garbled fonts on each TTY channel.

Further experimentation shows:
- hit E during Grub menu and then F10 (nothing edited) and terminal...

Switch TTYs? - I'm not familiar with that concept.

Have reinstalled Grub - no change. "nomodeset" may be a red herring - terminal fonts are normal if restarting after any "live" edit of the Grub...

Yes, I moved the hard drive to a new box. Solved the problem whereby the network conection moved from eth0 to eth1 because of new hardware, but this font thing has go me stumped.

This is Ubuntu Server V12.04 32- bit (updated to latest) installed on one system, then moved to new hardware.

On normal startup, terminal output text appears on attached VDU screen in the pattern...

Hmm, "changed" the password for "Passwords: login" in Seahorse (Settings > Passwords and Keys) but used exactly the same password (my system login password) for both the old and the new passwords. ...

Yes - it's back again here. :(

Just had the same problem here with Xubuntu 12.04 when running DejaDup backup.
The Seahorse data encryption and digital signature app. is not installed by default in Xubuntu. It seems to take care...

Nautilus etc. has always been poor when compared with Windows Explorer, but it looks as if M.soft are looking to raise their game with Win8: - see here.

Why don't we have something like this in...

I find that the appropriate scanner utility from avasys and the associated plug-in work fine here with a V350 scanner (dig down from the URL above to get the appropriate installation .debs). Though I...

A slightly indirect answer to your question, but if you want to learn how to build something there's no better starting point than tearing apart someone else's work to see how they did it.

And the...

Have you tried the Ubuntu "cups to PDF" printer that I mentioned in my previous post - it probably does exactly what you want? I said "most" as it adds a document title to the metadata, but it's not...

Possibly the simplest thing to do is to print your PDF file using "Print to PDF". That should retain the content but create a new PDF file with a mainly blank set of metadata.

If you haven't yet...

I'm using the standard encrypted disk installation from the alternate CD, which includes the swap and the home/system virtual partitions on the encrypted partition.

Since - as I understand it -...
