Hi guys,

So I just got a new touchscreen laptop (Acer Aspire V5-571PG-9814) but I can't seem to get it to boot from the disk. I don't really get an option on what to click as well and it goes...

Hi,

So, in the interest of nostalgia and related emotions, I'm interested in possibly recovering files deleted files from my flash drive. So with that, I have a couple of questions:

Thanks!

So, for some reason there's this 524 MB File System that's appearing now on the left hand corner when I open my Home folder.

It seems to contain folders titled grub and grub2 among others such as...

So it works temporarily but then I get an error. I close Terminal and then it reverts back into the original problem.

Sorry, noob here.

Hey guys,

So I have GNOME, Unity and Xubuntu for desktop environments on my laptop. On the Xubuntu side, the frames seem to have a problem. I don't see any of the close,minimize and shrink/expand...

Basically just hard disk space. I just checked and it's just a few MB so I'll just stick with it. And as pointed our by Pacqman, it's part of it. So I think it'll be best for me not to touch it.

So, I did a full update and installed Xubuntu-Desktop. Now I seem to have an Xfce session option and a Xubuntu option (in addition to the Unity and GNOME options). In the interest of saving space, I...

I did a true dual-boot install.

I got it to work now, but I didn't solve the problem per se.

I removed Ubuntu 11.10 and installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. After installing, I just updated it to...

Thanks! I'll give it another shot. Please let me know what you find and I appreciate you taking the time to help me.

I didn't see any GRUB menu when I installed Ubuntu 11.10 or Xubuntu (whether it was the first Linux OS or second, it didn't come up). I just repartitioned again and I realized that I may...

Use an administrator account, that should solve the problem...in theory.

Hmm, I think I'll try virtualbox out if the other way suggested doesn't work. I think having separate dedicated partitions would be better. But this seems like a nice backup plan. Thanks!

Sweet! Awesome, I'll do that right as I get this other problem cleared up.

Hmm, I thought GRUB was supposed to install itself automatically with the installation of Ubuntu 11.10? If not, how am I...

Thanks!! I think I'll do that. Would I be able to choose the kind of desktop I'd be using every time I boot?

I initially just had Windows on there and then later installed Ubuntu 11.10, but when...

Hmm can the Ubuntu server edition run on a laptop just fine?

Hey guys!

Has anyone solved this yet?

Hi I can't seem to view or use my webcam using my YM via GAIM. Is there a way I can view others webcams and use my own through YM via another way in ubuntu?

Thanks, but I can't seem to delete the other files. Or even execute the files I got. I copied them to another folder so I can be its owner, but I still can't execute them.

Hi , I accidentaly delted a folder which contained important documents, is there any way I can retrieve them? I also deleted them from the trash bin.
