I think you're asking a lot. I assume you started 8-mm video tapes. Those do not have great quality by today's standards. But then you have two analog conversions, plus you will have to reincode...
I can't help with the crashing, and I don't have Aisle Riot on this computer, so I can't check this. But the user data for that program is probably in ~/.local/share/aisle or something like that. ...
Ubuntu 18.04
I would like to display a different image besides the default beaver on the login screen. Since at least the last version I have used lightdm, but with version 18.04 I can't change the...
No, it was understood all right, although I thought I'd leave it open in case there were some gotchas that I didn't know about.
Thanks for the replies. I'm marking this solved.
Not autofs. Just cifs and samba-client. It is mounted from /etc/fstab.
What kind of negative results do you have in mind? This is a link to a samba share. The share and the link are unlikely...
Thanks. There should be a menu item, but there isn't.
However, I got it the hard way.
ln -s /mnt/<dirname>,
and added a line to .config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks to put it in the side bar and the...
I have Ubuntu 20.04 with flashback, Files 3.36.3-stable (aka Nautilus).
I have a network drive that is mounted automatically in /mnt/.
The file manager shows "Home", "Documents", etc. I need...
It's in the Ubuntu repository (Graphics -- universe) through 18.04. As far as I know, there's no need for an external source unless they want to package it for more recent versions.
This isn't the first time that they broke Bombono. Somebody needs to compile it into an AppImage and be done with it. The reason it has been "abandoned" is that the developer, whose name is Ilya...
That's nice but it appears to solve a completely different problem.
Ohmygosh, thank you very much. That does work. The interweb is full of bogus excuses, useless and partial information, and blind alleys. Pages and pages have been written on this, and the solution...
It's time for a follow-up. I have had mixed results with USBGuard. The 32-bit PPA I am using works on one computer, but the 64-bit version does not. There may be a workaround, which I have not...
I've found some more information. I'm astonished that there isn't more discussion of this. It was news in 2014; after that, discussion of it is rare, despite the fact that it infected 60% of...
Thank you for your candid opinions. That sounds like a good suggestion, and I'll consider it.
I know that some people share your opinion that a BadUSB attack is difficult to pull off, but I'm not...
Thanks very much for the reply. I really appreciate it. It's a shame that this has been known for years, and almost nothing has been done about it.
The link advocates the following:

The existence of BadUSB is well known, or should be well known to all. The USB standards allow any USB device to be used to infect your computer and possibly any USB device that is subsequently...
Solved, I think.
It was a matter of getting it to accept the right target drive. There were different drives with subtly different names. I had some difficulty in getting it to accept the right...
Other info: Ubuntu 16.04 flashback (or fallback?), 32 bits.
There are some errors that I haven't been able to decypher, including "rsync ...returns 5120". By default it's set to continue after...
Back in Time worked very simply and quickly on a small backup job with a few GB. On a bigger job (>400 GB) it fails completely. It reads the hard drive continuously, but does not write data.

OK, I just noticed the first line in the first reply, with the reference:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/529437/computer-not-suspending-when-inactive-in-the-main-log-in-prompt
I followed the...
Thanks, but this looks scary. There's a lot to configure, and it looks like the times have to be set just so in order to prevent disaster. It looks like the default time to shutdown...
I want to be able to suspend the system automatically when no one is logged in.
System settings > Power > "Suspend when inactive for 5 minutes" works only when someone is logged in. On one...
OK, gnome-tweak-tool works with 16.04, and does the job.
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences focus-mode 'sloppy' is also said to work in 12.10 and later; also in 17.10. More...
How do I configure focus follows mouse? I'm using Ubuntu 16.04, Flashback Metacity. I have it on another computer, but can't find it on this newly configured computer.
I tried gconf-editor, but...
