Hello,

I recently updated Ubuntu to 12.04 and ever since then the webcam of my Siemens AH530 laptop is simply not being detected. Before, when using an earlier version of Ubuntu, the webcam would...

Update: the HD cable had come loose. The repair man fixed it for me. All OK now. Hooray!

Thanks for all the advice.

Thank you very much for taking the time to try and help me but you seem to be misunderstanding the aspect of data. I've already explained twice that there is no lost data. Everything was backed up...

Well apparently it was not showing up on Scan Disk. Apparently that's not good. Edit: oops, I mean Disk Utility. I don't know the names of all the things. Sorry.

I have switched it off now and am...

I'm a she, not a he.

My "helpless clueless female" vibe ought to be a dead giveaway. :D Plus not many men I know quote Anne of Green Gables.

PeterP24: there is no "lost data" because I have...

No I am not hearing a "new" whirring sound. As I explained, when booting up via LiveCD it made the usual "thinking" whirring sound. I don't know what it really means so I have always jokingly said...

Is there no way of me accessing that file? I've got copies of everything else but just hadn't updated the changes to that one. :(

Oh dear. I don't know how to do any of this... :(

I think I will just have to take it back to the shop. They have a workshop there.

Thanks but please elaborate and tell me how to do that. I'm a beginner. Please don't assume I know what I'm doing!Thank you very much everyone for trying to help me.



I had no idea there was...

OK I managed to find Disk Utility and opened it. The following things are there:

Local Storage (Ubuntu@localhost)
SATA Host Adaptor
CD/DVD drive
Peripheral Devices
700 MB File...

I don't know what you mean. Thank you for replying though.




Yes it was running while I dropped it.

I don't know if I can mount the HD from the LiveCD or not because I don't know how to do...

I dropped my laptop on the floor. :( When I picked it up again, things all appeared to be still working at first, but then after a few minutes things froze up. I could not get any response from the...

Thank you for that suggestion. I am looking into it now.

:)

Update: problem partially solved; new problem. :confused:

Another user on the Denemo forum said that it's a case of missing menus. If they open Denemo using sudo via a terminal instead of opening...

Does anyone here use Denemo (a music software)? I have just begun using it today and cannot find the answer to my question in the manual and their forums are not very active.

How do I add multiple...

That's really cool! It would make a good avatar. :lolflag:

I wanted to know a bit more about keyloggers. I do not (to my knowledge) have any virus problems, but someone I know does (they use Windows). Hopefully I can persuade them to change to Ubuntu. :)

Oh thank you everyone! Especially Haqking and Winh8r :)

I will keep reading it over and over again and hopefully like Haqking has said it will just suddenly sink in. Thank you to everyone for...

Thank you, Haqking. I still don't understand it really. If it was explained in my other thread I think I must have missed it. There were a lot of long complicated replies that were too bewildering...

Thank you, Ms Daisy. I didn't read the link you are talking about on my other thread because my other thread was not a thread about me wanting to understand. It was a thread about me wanting to fix a...

Thank you. I don't really understand what all of that means, but your general conclusion appears to be that it's OK for me to have just one user account and it's safe for it to have admin status. Is...

Hello! I recently got myself into a right old mess:

That's good, megaptera! :) It's certainly an ingenious idea!

Just to clarify my original post: I wasn't really thinking of using "padding" for online account passwords, which normally have a...

Thank you Haqking. I remember reading that thread, but not really understanding it. :redface:

As in, 3 million years as opposed to 25 billion?
