I have been trying Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu Studio on my Acer laptop. Using Windoz or Elementary the track pad allows me to click or double click anywhere on it. With Ubuntu it seems that on the...

I see your points but disagree. Just because something is open source doesn't mean somebody won't create a virus and use it. I honestly don't know what percentage of users actually review code or...

DuckHook thank you for your wisdom. You have stated many good reasons to not disconnect a computer from the internet. You have given me more to consider.

I have worked with companies that still...

With so many stories of manufacturers updates screwing up hardware (mostly Apple), companies spying on user information, and user data being sold, I want to build an off line computer using...

I found a video that explained root, swap, primary, boot, and a few others. Notes were taken. It showed the purpose of each type of partition and how to create them using Gparted. I went into the...

This is good information. Thank you for giving me some insight.

I looked at the installation again by clicking custom installation. It is using Gparted for creating partitions or altering...

Impavidus I don't understand. I've got a live USB thumb drive ready to go. I gave it a try and like it more than Budgie. When I get to the point where it asks me to either try it or install it what...

Thank you Impavidus. Does this mean that I must keep partitions 1-4 to save windos and the only one that can be deleted is 5?

Hello people. I've got an Acer Aspire One laptop running Ubuntu Budgie. It is dual booted with windos. I want to get rid of Budgie and try the new LTS while keeping the existing windos.
I used the...

Dragonfly41, have you done such a setup recently to know if it would still work? New versions of all of the Ubuntu based distros are due this month. It would be good to make this happen in April.

I have an Acer Laptop dual booted with Windows and Ubuntu Budgie. Mostly I use Budgie. The other is just there for specific programs. Budgie has gone nuts lately and I want to get a different OS but...

I downloaded SMPlayer and tried different settings in the General tab at the top. The choices were mpv, mplayer, and other. Which had a box with mpv in it. I went to the View tab and got the...

I have a movie file that lost sound. Can it be fixed? How would I do it. I've played other videos and they have audio. I've played this movie in the past and the audio was good. I tried using VLC...

Thank you for the information. I went to that spot and looked at the page. The internal audio speakers were listed. Then I plugged in the USB headphones. They then appeared in the list of audio...

Tonight I was watching a Netflix show. When the show ended the audio stopped going through my USB headphones and it came out of the speakers. Nothing was touched.
I unplugged them and plugged them...

I downloaded an Ubuntu 64bit file.

For two years I've been using a Chromebook. It is getting old so I got a new Acer A3 today with an Intel i3 chip. It's running Windows 10 and I hate it. It took over five hours just to complete its...

Thank you Frogs Hair. I'll check it out.

I have an Acer C720P Chromebook which is driving me crazy because it is screwing up docx files. I've had enough. Chromebooks are fine for e-mail and videos but too many files have been destroyed by...

I won't be able to do this for a while because I am in the middle of moving. The external drive has been disconnected and packed. Perhaps in a week or so I'll be able to do this.

Thank you.

Hello oldos2er. I just tried using that command with and without the external drive being mounted. I get this message:
tune2fs: Permission denied while trying to open /dev/sdg1Couldn't find valid...

I do see the letters NTFS. Perhaps that is just a record of past information. The drive is formatted in EXT4. Opening GPartED shows that it is using EXT4. What I want to do is remove that folder that...

Here is the correct information with the L instead of the numeral 1.

Thank you for the article Ann. It isn't working for me. I must be typing the wrong thing or not enough information.

At first I tried the command with the name G_Tech. That didn't work. Then I...
