I've installed Ubuntu 21.04 on a Microsoft Surface Book 2 - and yes, there are limitations that I can live with for now.

I am returning to Ubuntu after seven years and much has changed. One issue...

I have tried skype and the camera app.

As for patching Linux to support the webcam and touch that is beyond me.

I have had to go back to Windows because of the webcam issue (cannot live without it). The webcam is an Intel AVStream 2500 built-in. I have been googling to look for a driver that will work in...

First of all, I was successful in installing Ubuntu 20.04 on a Surface Book 2 - it went quite smoothly.

I have been away from ubuntu for several years, so I have forgotten a great deal:

Your mystery port looks like an old telephone modem connector. In the olden days, before cable and DSL, internet was delivered over a telephone modem that was connected to your computer through an...

Hi,

You will get a lot of opinions - all of them valid for that user's circumstances. My suggestion would be to select the buntu flavour that seems appropriate to your workstation. Personally, I...

I think that 'powerful' is a loaded word. Having been, at one time, a Windows guru and now being an Ubuntu desktop user (and having been so for several years), I'd like to share some thoughts:

Hi,

I remembered that there is a setting in the gnome-media configuration file that you need to change.

If the Gnome Media tool was installed, by default it will not be displayed. To correct...

In the HUD, type multi. It will be identified as Multimedia Systems Selector.

Sorry that I didn't mention it.

I ran into a similar issue - I have Bose speakers driven through a USB port.
There is an application, gnome-media, that I have installed from the repositories. It provides a GUI based way to set...

2/ go to keyboard layout in system settings and add English us international keyboard with dead keys. You should...

There are a number of different desktop GUIs that you can use with Ubuntu. In addition, you can do further customisations for the desktop that you select. In the screenshot below, I selected one of...

Seiji:

Thanks for that. I'll have to figure it out - it definitely doesn't feel intuitive, especially when you have been using sound juicer in ubuntu. I've adopted the philosophy of "crawl, walk,...

I found the solution - quite by accident. It turns out that flac is not installed by default.

When I did sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras flac the option to extract to flac was...

The flac package is installed. There is a flac decoder, but there is no flac encoder. I could probably do it using the command line in the external encoder, but I don't know how to set it up.

I like to putter. I do like ubuntu, but I am intrigued by the possibilities with KDE. There will be some challenges - KDE does things quite differently - but it is also quite mature. I took a brief...

Hi,

I've been using ubuntu for several years - including the Unity Interface. I am interested in trying out Kubuntu 14.04 - the desktop is intriguing.

It is a steep learning curve, and I've...

What is the right grub-install. If I disable secure boot, then ubuntu doesn't boot and I'd have to reinstall from scratch, which I would prefer to not do.

Thanks,

Just an update to this post. As far as I know, there are 32-bit specific requirements, primarily in how EPF handles windows. When installing on Windows 7 64-bit, 32-bit Java and 32-bit browser are...

I've been using ubuntu for a few years. As a general rule, if I want to change to a new version, I will do a clean installation off of a CD or DVD (depends on the release). If you download and...
