    [ubuntu] Re: putty and ubuntu 17.1

    Just curious why you would even need PuTTY in Linux? Ubuntu includes regular ssh for ssh client, scp, sftp, or sftp is somewhat easier as a gui using your file manager. I only use PuTTY in Windows,...

    Does the mouse work on any other computer or OS? Are its batteries good? I am not familiar with that brand of mouse. Linux usually has no problems using multiple mouse devices (mousepad & mouse)...

    The blue FN key modifies the function of any keys to whatever those keys have in blue on them, similar to a shift key. Some keyboards (like many laptops and Logitech K400) actually have function of...

    [SOLVED] Re: Automatically turning off hard disks

    Since modern hard drives no longer support hdparm settings to do that automatically, I wrote a script that I call "hd-standby" which I put in /etc/cron.hourly/. You give it a list of drives and if...

    Which Ubuntu version are you running and what shows up in output of lsusb for the mouse? So when you said "Yes" that means that another mouse works on that PC and just not this mouse?
