To check CUPS as ank2 suggested, open a browser and go to address 127.0.0.1:631. That will connect you to the CUPS manager on your computer. Once there select 'Printers' in the menu. See if your...

You say you are using the Gutmann method. That can mean several things. My initial guess is that your 'problem' is the number of overwrites you are trying to do. At one time the recommendation was...
What DuckHook advised is absolutely correct. I will be a bit stronger. Trying to 'update' across that many versions is an exercise in frustration and futility which you are discovering. At this...
You might try contacting the HPLIP folks at https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/support unless I missed that one of the above is from them. And apparently there is other support...
Working over a network is going to be slower than simply transferring files around on the computer. From what you describe I would get an external drive of at least a TB if I didn't already have one,...
A purge SHOULD get the necessary files, but may not. Often it will not delete config files in use or tha have contents for some reason. I think it has to do with the way the installation was written,...
First, make sure your two installations (14.04 and 16.04 I think you said) are not sharing anything bluefish uses. Second, when you uninstalled, how did you do it? Manually, apt-get remove or apt-get...
Just to alert you, the UEFI requirements make the procedure a little (?) different from the "old" way, so be sure whomever answers addresses Windows and UEFI or you could really screw things up. The...
How old is the printer? Have you recently upgraded your system? Are you connected to it by usb, ethernet or wireless? Are you using HPLIP or some other driver? What is your quality of print set to:...
As to letting them look through your computer, do you really think that would accomplish anything considering the obvious mindset? And even if they did, would they have a clue what they were seeing?...
Rafael, I have to ask: where are you parents in all this? I remember when something somewhat similar happened to my son. The teacher corrected her error (after pressure from other students) literally...
How long have you waited for the boot to finish? An unaltered installation of Ubuntu will go to a blank screen with a flashing cursor and remain there while it boots. This takes however long it...
I have never tried it before but I suppose most any backup program would work. Personally I use rsnapshot. Whether that would give you the same LVM errors or not I don't know. However, my guess is...
To determine your kernel version, use the command 'uname -r'. Then run the compile command they say. What directory the source file is in should't matter. It may be necessary to compile as root, i.e....
I can't speak for Lubuntu, but for xubuntu the blank screen after Grub is normal until just before the xubuntu/login screens. It can actually seem to last a long time. If that is the problem the...
I agree with DeadFlowr except I would go one step further. I would totally wipe the HD with Darik's Boot and Nuke, then reload Ubuntu or whatever. This is the only real way to be sure all your...
PGP is the original created by Zimmerman, is not open source and is copyrighted. Here's the story as I remember it. Some years ago PGP was only available for purchase/license. The government debated...
In my limited experience I have found laptops are designed one of two ways. First, and easiest to work with, is the type where the cpu and heat sink are accessible through the smaller cover that is...
Don't feel bad. There are two kinds of people: those who will, and those who have. You have moved from the first to the second category. Congratulations. You probably won't make those mistakes again....
I know nothing of 'TPL', so someone else will have to help you there. However, what you describe sounds suspiciously like a case of old thermal grease. The grease between the cpu and heat sink does...
What do you mean, start the JDK? The JDK is not a single program that you run. You create files that are then processed through a compiler or you use Netbeans or Eclipse or some other IDE to create a...
As I understand your situation you are simply trying to install ubuntu as the only OS and wipe/delete/lose everything else, i.e. start fresh. Correct? I also assume you are trying to install from a...
First, I would point out that no one knows who is being 'tracked' and by what means. Remember warrants served on Verizon, Google, AT&T, etc., include a clause that the organization being served is...
You should be able to set your display resolution through the settings manager so you don't have to use a script. However, if that doesn't work and/or you want to use a script anyway, put the script...
I cannot speak for other distros, but in Ubuntu you can also right click on the desktop and select 'Create Launcher' on the menu.Then fill in the information asked for in the dialog. The 'Command'...
