Hmmm.

Okay, but if I understand correctly, I will then have two Ubuntu instances: the image file I load into Hyper-V, and the one I boot into going the multi-boot route. Over time, these will get...

I'm dual-booting Win10 Pro and Ubuntu 16.04 on a quad-core Xeon box with 8GB RAM. Win10 and Ubuntu are installed on and boot from and SSD. Data is mostly kept on a SATA HD.

Since Hyper-V is an...

What Canonical has done is work with MS to develop libraries that will be used in providing bash and friends in a CLI under Windows. This [i]won't[/t] be a full GUI Ubuntu installation.

It's...

And this may be even more annoying.

Googling on related issues pointed me at some things I could try. When I switched back to the Ubuntu box, the problem had mysteriously solved itself. ...

Okay, this is annoying.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. The box it's installed on uses onboard Intel video, and I normally use XFCE4 as my desktop.

I have a 27" AOC monitor that uses 1920x1080...

I'm having a different but related problem. I have Ubuntu 11.10 installed on an old Fujitsu Lifebook p2110. It was installed originally from an older version Minimal CD and upgraded in place.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on an old Fujitsu Lifebook p2110. It's a low-end box, with an 867mhz Transmeta Crusoe CPU, a 40GB UDMA 4 HD, and 256MB or RAM (which the Crusoe grabs 16MB of off the top for...

I just upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.4. The target box is a Fujitsu Lifebook p2110 circa 2002, with an 876mhz Crusoe processor, 256MB of RAM, and a 40GB UDMA4 HD, multibooting Win2K Pro, Ubuntu,...

The rule of thumb I use is twice installed RAM, but whether I use a swap partition at all depends upon installed RAM.

Swap is part of virtual memory. If more physical RAM is needed for something...

I may do that at some point. I have Ubuntu 9.10 in a triple boot on mydesktop with Win2K and XP, and it's a 1.8ghz box with 4GB RAM and much faster drives.

I have Fluxbox on the Puppy slice on...

I didn't expect to try to use it as a PBX. It was mostly just to learn about it, and a matter of "Why? Because I can!" :)

Yeah, I know the specs on the Linksys. I saw people doing insane...

I remember dial up. I moved to DSL as my first broadband because that was what was available where I was. When cable modem service became available, I switched, but kept the DSL as a high speed...

If you have either module, I'll happily reimburse you for postage, or provide a FedEx # for shipping.

So what does it do?

Blame IBM, for choosing to reserve RAM above 640K for the system. I recall the chap who wrote what became MS-DOS (Seattle Computer Product's 86DOS) had some snarky things to say about the design...

Puppy uses a 2.6 kernel, and is fairly sprightly. (It's intended for low end kit, and the devs are always looking for tinier programs to substitute in the base install.) Third-party apps like...

I'd hardly expect any version of Linux to run in 1MB. I just shake my head in wonder.

I still have my first PC (acquired after my 3B1) sitting on a shelf. It had a motherboard with a 10mhz NEC...

And in fact, I did just that, in the process of upgrading Puppy to v4.31. It helped a lot. Puppy is still sprightlier, but Ubuntu installed that way is actually usable on the Lifebook.

Thanks...

Oh, there are lower end things. Someone on the Puppy forums detailed how he got it up on an old Toshiba box that had run Win95 and had a whopping 16 MB of RAM. (Essentially, he stripped out just...

Thank you. That looks quite promising. It will have to wait a bit, as I need to check what the minimal CD leaves out, and will need to wipe and reinstall, but it looks like a good way to go down...

I'll look at LXDE, thanks. Puppy comes with JWM as the lightest window manager they could find, but I use XFCE 4.6 by preference, and have Afterstep, Blackbox, Enlightenment, EvilWM, Fluxbox, IceWM,...

Hi, folks::

I'm relatively new to Ubuntu, but not to Linux. I started on Unix variants in the AT&T System V Release 2 days, have used several flavors of "real" Unix, and Red Hat, CentOS, SUSE,...
