I know what openbox looks like. The thing is: I cannot leave the login screen at all! It just freezes when I select "openbox" and type my password. I would love it if it was all just black with only...

Hello
I have a freshly installed Lubuntu 20.04 and it feels great and polished. I would, however, like to use openbox - but: there is no way to login to openbox... at the login screen I type my...

Where is Ubuntu 20.04 LTS mini iso to download? I can't find it anywhere. All links point to either a wiki page that only TALKS about it (and has outdated versions of mini iso from a few years back)...

Anyone please?

Hi,
I wanted to make an .iso image of my USB drive (/dev/sdb) to another USB drive (/dev/sdc). The result I got:


ubuntu@ubuntu ~ $ sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc bs=64K...

Don't know how to do it in pdftk, but try graphical jpdftweak instead. It can add page number to a pdf in a flash. ;)

no clues?

Hi
I downloaded ubuntu minimal ISO 16.04
The installation went smoothly. I configured the wifi (hidden ESSID and the password) and the Base system downloaded all the needed files.
After reboot...

Big THANK YOU to all the contributors to this thread. My problem is officially solved! My system runs perfectly now. :)

Heeeeeeey, ptn107!
I can see my /home partition contents now after doing what you advised. WOW! A million thanks.

Wait, wait.. I don't want to get too excited. Let me try something here, will...

I've done this:
Restored one of the backup blocks, rebooted, fsck my drive again. The result:

~ $ sudo fsck -a /dev/sdb5

I shrunk my /home partition to get additional space in front of it and take this space over by my root. Unfortunately, the freed up space was created after my /home partition and that's when I could...

Thank you, I will try that. :)

I wonder if it's at all possible to extract a specific file, e.g. only pdf files, from a zipped archive that contains also other files and zipped folders in it. Example:

Great! Is there a manual/tutorial available?

I'm having a problem with distiso. What does it mean "cd filesystem must have been completed already"? How do I complete that task? Thanks.

Thank you, that was informative. When you say most of the Wacom ones, which ones should I steer clear of? With my luck lately, I don't want to get the one that won't work. ;)

I'm new to graphics tablets and I'd like to get one to be able to draw in GIMP. I'm an amateur in need of advice, I need one that would work out of the box in Ubuntu. Nothing fancy or expensive -...

Thank you, oldfred. I suppose it will be much easier for me to just do a fresh install to get rid of the problem. I have an LTS 12.04 so it will be a couple of years before I do so. In the mean time,...
