Ah - thanks! That would explain why the dropped packets are happening at irregular intervals too.

Networking is more complex than it appears! :D

I've got a mail server (running Ubuntu 16.04) which I'd like to see if I can secure by only allowing OUTBOUND connections on the various ports it uses. Inbound is working fine.

Here's the script...

I've recently done a clean install of 17.04 on a machine with an Nvidia 750Ti card and a Dell 4K monitor. I'm using the Nvidia binary driver 381.09. This works great apart from the fact that the...

Ah OK. I'll try that and see what happens. Thank Chris. I mean, Vlad.

After several hours of research on this - I think the situation is hopeless.

In theory, if you check "Enable Xinerama" (would it have killed them to call this "Use both displays" or something?...

Hi - I'm getting exactly this problem too (just posted a separate thread question though). I see this thread is marked "solved" though - is it?

Using Ubuntu 14.04 with these two cards (reported by lspci):

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF116 [GeForce GTX 550 Ti] (rev a1)
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA...

PGP/GPG signing and encrypting files used to be sort of easy using Ubuntu. For a few years I was using a Gedit plugin that allowed me to do it via the clipboard for plain text files, for example....

OK thanks. When I installed 12.10, it went with the Nouveau drivers but they didn't run in 3D, so I didn't get things like the HUD, for example, and the system dies every time it went to sleep.

A couple of months ago, I merrily installed (from scratch, not an update) Quantal 12.10 64bit after having run 12.04.2 LTS just fine with my GeForce GTX 550Ti.

Big mistake. Nothing ran properly...

Do you have an NVidia graphics card? If so, and you're trying to install Ubuntu 12.10, there is an amazingly huge bug right now that prevents you from being able to install the right video driver for...

OK so a I take it that this is a "no" to my original question. Deja Dup doesn't work on 12.04. Kinda strange as it's installed by default.

Oh well.

I could use grsync, but I'd rather use my 5GB of free space on U1 (and I'm not sure if grsync does incrementals).

I'm a little unclear after searching through the bugs - but is anyone able to use Deja Dup on 12.04 at all? I've tried it with a fresh install using U1 and it backs up manually OK, but if you put it...

I've been able to set up my printer using system-config-printer (you may need to install it if it's not on your system already). The setup wizard on that works fine.

But really, WTF Ubuntu? I'm...

I solved this by buying a new FireWire card in the end, it seems it was to do with that and not the camera itself:

Ever since I installed 10.10 I can't capture video from my (admittedly very old) Sony DCR PC110 DV camera.

Linux monolake 2.6.35-23-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 24 11:55:36 UTC 2010 x86_64...

Ah - that's better!

Since IOS 4.2, Ubuntu no longer mounts my iPhone, nor can Rhythmbox see the music on it.

Oh well, that's the last Apple product I'm using then. Looking forward to Android! ;)

Yes. I think this is a known problem, at least, as I type this I'm transferring some photos from my Canon Ixus 70 and it says it's going 43KB/s, but the camera goes to sleep before they can all...

Hello wonderful people.

I have a crappy old laptop on which I have a minimal install of Ubuntu Karmic. I am using this to connect to a remote machine (running Karmic as well) and run a Gnome...

Excellent! Works great! Thanks!

OK thanks all - seems like there's hope at least until the new version of Vuze, and others, get into the repos.

Now that everyone in the world (well, mostly everyone) wants to use BitTorrent without a tracker, does anyone know which BT clients in the repos support magnet links in hex format?

The ones I've...

Ah! Thanks for that!
