Hello AI and thanks for your quick response. I clicked the link above. It showed that I do have it enabled. I had not seen that setting before. Thanks for sharing that info with me and the forum. If...

Hi All, I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04. Now, when I launch Evolution I'm getting this message, "...Failed to connect address book 'gpeck157@gmail.com :Contacts'" with a large button...

Hi All,
I'm having a problem with Cheese since upgrading to v. 15.04. When I use the video recorder, it works just fine, but when I try to take a still photo, I get an error message that says,...

I've been using KMyMoney for years and like it a lot. It's one of the reasons I stay with Ubuntu. I haven't used anything but Ubuntu for 3 years.

Thanks ajgreeny. That worked just fine.
I appreciate your quick response.

Thanks, I'll do that. I guess I'm just nervous about messing with it. LOL. Is gedit ok for this?

Hi All,

My external USB drive has failed and I have disconnected it from my computer. My fstab is still trying to mount it. If I simply # comment out that line /dev/sdb1 will that mess up anything...

You apparently did not understand my post. I already tried that! By the way, to your Windows thinking comment, I've been using Ubuntu since v. 5.04 and exclusively for the last 3 years. Your...

... and do you have any constructive suggestions, or are you just bitching me out for my "... Windows mentality?" Your "observations" are not helpful but thanks anyway.

Hi all,
I recently upgraded to v. 15.04 and since doing so, Evolution constantly hangs requiring a reboot of my computer to clear it up. After rebooting, it will finish downloading my email, but is...

Thanks again, I appreciate your input. It makes sense to try to switch back to systemd. Hopefully nothing will get screwed up.
As it turns out, I'm still having issues with my Evolution hanging up....

Evolution appears to be working now. Cheese is working better, but not perfectly; I can take a video, but not a picture. I purged it and installed it again, but that didn't help. I'm very pleased...

Success! After installing upstart-sysv I shut down and then powered back up. My system booted normally! Awesome!
Thank you very much for your help! Now, I'm going to try the applications that were...

Thanks both of you for your input. I just installed the upstart-sysv. I'll let you know what happens.

Thanks for your quick reply sudodus. My computer is a Toshiba Satellite laptop Model C55-5302 with 4 Gigs of Ram and a 500 Gig HDrive.
It has an Intel Celeron Processor N2840 2.58 Ghz. Originally...

I upgraded from 14.10 to 15.04. Since doing so I can't log in normally, my email (Evolution) locks up, and I just discovered that "Cheese" is not working.
When I start my laptop, Ubuntu takes a...

Thank you. All is working fine.

Hi chili555,
The output from my grep was this < Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4320] (rev 03) > Thanks.

Excellent. Thank you!!!

Thanks for your response, but I'm not certain what you're referring to. When I log out, I have two options for logging back in, my account and guest. Could you please clarify. Thanks

Hi All,
I just upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04. In 10.04 I was able to turn off Compiz. My computer ran much better with it off. I'm running an HP Pavilion ZD 7000A, Pentium 4 / 3.06 laptop with only 1...

Hi all, this is strange. I just recently upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04. Tonight a bluetooth icon suddenly showed up next to my networking icon in the upper right hand corner of my screen. When I click...

Hi All.
I just upgraded my Ubuntu version from 10.04 to 12.04. When I click a Launcher icon, such as Firefox (just an example), the application will not start. To start the application, I need to...

Your solution worked for me. Thanks!

Help! I was in my CompizConfig Settings Manager, (I know, it's dangerous.) I went into Preferences. Then I went to Profile and changed from unity to Default. After a few seconds, I lost all my icons;...
