http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/05/26/dropbox_kernel_access/ has a few more opinions on it. I think 3rd party cloud storage can easily be replaced with a small server running Own Cloud which gives...

Looking forward to installing this weekend! (Leaving 14.04 on there as well just in case... :) )

As has been mentioned, encryption uses more CPU cycles to access things that if it wasn't encrypted. The whole idea is security if someone gets hold of your computer/harddrive. Without encryption,...

CryptLocker/SynLocker do not encrypt your whole drive, they encrypt your files but allow the system to boot so they can extort you.

If it helps, I have one of those too and honestly I've never had the battery run low (I dual boot and sometimes check the power level on Win7). The panel charges even in a room with a single low...

As long as it is a fairly thick paperclip, you won't do any damage at all. The voltage running through that is only a control voltage and very low power. Of course, any bare wire may be a fire hazard...

I agree, I specc'd out a new desktop and found that System76 was cheaper. Then I added the import tax and found it was more expensive :/

The command looks right to me. How big is the HDD and how long has it been going? It can take a very long time.

Hello

Your heads are damaged. Don't worry about the PCB too much. They only thing you will get out of this drive is the learning experience so I hope you enjoy it!

WRT the comment about...

SMART data will catch a lot of up coming errors, but will not get them 100% of the time. If your Barracuda is going wonky, then try to back up everything on it and take it back to Seagate as it...

FWIW Google gets upset with some of the servers on my VPN and also insists on making me use the CAPTCHA. I can usually switch to another random server until I find one it likes.

Quick update, I ran Compiz settings so I could switch the Desktop Cube on (I love it) and now it appears with some other things. Unfortunately I get this error: Error launching OpenVPN subprocess

Hello Everyone

I have an HMA-Pro VPN account and it works great under Windows. I am now trying to get onto Ubuntu full time so I would like to be able to use it there. It should be easy. The...

I think that's a mini display port socket (standard on Apples). AFAIK it's the same as HDMI.

Hello

Do not use CHKDSK as the how to wiki suggests. Also avoid anything else that "fixes" bad sectors, your data will get scrambled.

Follow a-tim-r's excellent instructions. Where he says...

I believe Webmin is no longer compatible with Ubuntu. I managed to install it a few months back and it didn't really work properly.

If you still want to try it out though run:
sudo apt-get...

Sounds like a fine plan to me, and if you run into problems come back to the forums :)

IIRC it used to be 50 posts...

Sorry, I meant the .deb files, I think I'm not so with it today :/

Yeah, I noticed they used "download" inappropriately which is weird and unhelpful! Did you unpack the tar with -zxvf?

There are some free AV programs that work well on Ubuntu. Is there a...

Heya squakie

A lot of what you decide will be based on what you want to do. I have my OS on one drive and back it up to a 4 disk RAID 5 where I keep a huge amount of my data and backups from my...

Are you sure the rpms aren't in the tar? I'm reading the manual now and it just says download and install with dpkg.

Have you tried using gparted as fdisk suggested?

I would still take a look at your cpu temp. It might not be the problem, but it might have just started at the same time you upgraded by coincidence.

I found this: http://blastmagazine.com/technology/tech-news/computers/bitlocker-to-go-thumb-drives-cracked-in-20-minutes/

My general advice is to give up though, anything that can bust through it...
