Thanks Tropcon. Your fix is similar to the one on the Ubuntu wiki page: "Position Reporting" https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/PositionReporting. Unfortunately, this fix makes the problem worse on my...

Thanks Tropcon. Your fix is similar to the one on the Ubuntu wiki page: "Position Reporting" https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/PositionReporting. Unfortunately, this fix makes the problem worse on my...
I have a Toshiba C855-S5347 laptop, and I installed 64-bit Ubuntu 13.04 beside Windows 8. The system won't boot into Ubuntu. Boot-Repair failed. I took a look at the partitions with GParted and...
Can it be wrong for us to be polite, and check for viruses ourselves? BitDefender Scanner for Unices is made specifically for Linux. I've been using it for years. A whole lot of Windows users are so...
Philipsense, everybody's throwing jargon/buzzwords at you that you may not yet be familiar with. When you created a live USB, you have an option of reserving up to 4GB of space on the flash drive to...
It's hard to tell without you pasting the terminal output after entering your install argument. If there's no error message, you may have had a package manager conflict (2 or more open). Did you have...
Hey there, tbetty! You're in luck. This one is very easy to fix.You need to run Ubuntu from your live CD/USB and install Boot Repair. Here are complete instructions:

I forgot something. You didn't use any keywords when you posted this question. That makes it harder for people to find it. Something like: wireless, toshiba, ubuntu 12.10.
It's not necessary to use the root account; that's why it's disabled by default. Your system is much less secure this way. Even worse, an inexperienced user running the root account can do major...
Hi, chrissy.millichamp. Toshiba users have been reporting that they needed a wireless driver upgrade. The package for that is "linux-backports-modules-cw-". Also your wired connection is usually at...
Cinnamonbun23, get rid of that filthy tarball, and just install: "linux-backports-modules-cw-" from Synaptic. That package contains compat-wireless. Easy enough? Now, let me go get you some paint...
Hi, PraveenP. Did you use Startup Disk Creator to ensure making your CD/USB bootable? The image file alone can't boot your system. If you're already well aware of this, my apologies.
'Lo Blade4! There are always problems with Wubi. I think Ubuntu should stop offering it. The Windows filesystem always tends to degrade a Wubi install, until it becomes so unstable it's worthless. If...
What the other respondents on this thread are neglecting to tell you is that you are absolutely correct about one thing. "i was told you need it so you do not pass it on to windows base computers"...
I see you're not that comfortable with "going under the hood", and you're afraid of making a critical error. I understand, I was you once. This company makes a very painless HD cloning kit, which...
Good for you. On my first dual-boot, I messed up in Gparted, and wiped my whole NTFS partition! You live and learn...
Hi, JSF16. This problem is actually pretty common in Ubuntu when people do a new installation, or upgrade to a new version. What you can do is to open Pulse Audio's controls (package name =...
Airycat, I almost forgot. Sometimes Ubuntu installs don't "take" properly, and are very buggy. A fresh install may be your answer.
Airycat, just like many math teachers who used to confuse me and make me think I was bad at math, until I realized they were bad teachers, 2F4U has advised you to shut down crash reports if you like,...
Hotspot Shield's free service doesn't seem to be a real VPN, just secure-only (HTTPS) browsing, which you can add as a browser extension, and an anonymous proxy, which is done much better in TOR....
I have never heard of Usenet newsgroups, and if I ever had heard of them, I wouldn't be willing to discuss them. Especially alt.binaries. :cool:
My eight-year-old ThinkPad sincerely thanks everybody @ the Lubuntu team. Congratulations all around on a spectacularly lean but fully functional OS. I tried Xubuntu for the same reason I'm now using...
Does anybody have this problem with Gnaural? I'm using Ubuntu 11.10. Gnaural runs fine for awhile, but then starts running wild, going at 2-3 times the normal speed, and the sound files sound like...
Arr, me Hearties! Wine be garbage. I'll buy Windows emulation when I can run iTunes, and stream Netflix movies...and not a moment before. [-X Shiver me timbers!
Another possibility is that you may have corrupted part of your Windows filesystem, with the attempted install and uninstall of Wubi (I hate using four-letter words like w___). Wubi is a horrible...
I've got the exact same problem. :( Transmission was too bare bones to be able to really troubleshoot/tweak, qBittorrent gave me a lot of tips, like changing my port settings, but has ended up doing...
