I have a new SDXC card (Sandisk Extreme Pro 64GB) for my camera, the camera has formatted it as EXFAT. I'm running KDE Neon 5.11 (Ubuntu Xenial) on a Lenovo Z580 with built in SD card reader.

Sounds like a memory leak. Try if you can to get htop up to see what it is but I had the same after updating today and it was deja-dup-monitor eating up memory.

Anyone could potentially include malicious code into an application but the nature of Ubuntu being open would make it very difficult to do so. Any software from the software centre will be virus...

8GB is quite small by today's standards, 15GB would be better for root. Are you able to resize with an adjacent partition?

With apt you can also try: apt-get autoremove to get rid of any redundant...

138.4 GB is the total size of the files in the directory or in this case the partition as it's a mounted partition.

175.2 GB is the total amount of space used on the partition.

I went for the Lenovo :)

Now I'm waiting for the Home Delivery Network to pull their finger out. It was out for delivery yesterday but never turned up, they say it will arrive today but I don't...

shouldn't that be ntfs?

I'm not completely up to speed with EFI but I think you'd only need it if your boot drive is bigger than 2 TB.

I went and had a look at the Samsung in a shop, the build seemed quite cheap. I'm definitely leaning towards the Lenovo. I'd like to keep Windows (I don't currently use or even have a copy) but it's...

I've been a desktop user for years (building my own) but it looks like I may need to move in with my Mum for a few months and she doesn't have space for my desktop setup so I'm going to have to get a...

Very tedious watching him trying to use the workspaces.

But very interesting that he never found the Dash until 23 minutes in. I think that in itself is very important.

A further observation,...

The biggest threat, as always is social engineering. I've used MS Windows (the most vulnerable system) for years with nothing more than a hardware firewall and not had any issues.

My first glimpse of Unity was after upgrading my netbook to 10.10 and I thought it was awful. The whole point of the Netbook Edition was that it was supposed to increase productivity on netbooks and...

It comes back with

su: Authentication failure
I'm pretty sure I used the password I set it too so I guess that means it's locked?

Thanks both for the information, very helpful.


I did this and it reported:

but when I do
sudo cat /etc/shadow | grep root
I still see the...

Just a recent install of Linux Mint. The only thing I enabled was sshd which I thought shouldn't enable the root account.




Well there is a Hash there now, but I did change the password...

Hi there,

If root is disabled by default, how is it possible that someone managed to SSH into my computer using root? I never enable/set password for root, it's always left as the default as per a...

lol, well 10.10 is released but Unity is far from a final product.

Would it not be a good idea to have it's own as it's not the same as UMR, which I think is no longer in Development anyway.

Hi there,

Either I'm going blind or there is no Ubuntu Netbook Edition forum (only UMR). Could someone point me to it?

Do any of you have more than one monitor attached? If so try removing them so you only have one monitor attached...

I was umming and ahring about the Moto Droid. Reading the comments about the hardware has confirmed I should stop umming and ahring and get the HTC Hero with the lovely Sense UI.

Social networking sites are only as boring or interesting as the people you follow...

I think they got their time zones mixed up and did the maintenance at 14:00 CET instead of UTC/GMT.
