F8 is the key for that on my machine, and it worked like a treat! I didn't know the Windows boot loader is a boot option, just like running a live CD or flash drive; Windows booted like nothing had...
So my hesitation to try that option was more justified than I realized. :oops: That sounds disastrous, thanks for the information.
Here is a link to the summary report:

I disabled hybrid boot some time last year, yes, and haven't updated Windows 8.1 since I first turned on the system. (This later helped me avoid Microsoft's rounds of forced Windows 10 upgrades! My...
Hello! Recently upgraded to Kubuntu 18.04 on my ASUS desktop, and I'll say this upfront: I've never been happier to run a flavor of Ubuntu on it. Everything just worked out of the box, I only spent...
Thanks! This is much better.
It's good to back on these forums. :smile:
Hello again, Ubuntu forums! It's been a few years since I last checked in, and I totally forgot about having this horrible uncreative nick! :P Can that be fixed so I don't have to make a new account?...
It is good knowing that Suspend mode doesn't commit a write to the hard drive, so if my HDD hasn't failed, it should be fine.
In the first two weeks, I have tried all of those things, as well as...
I'm currently typing this from a new Windows 8 notebook, and I am in serious need of help; weeks of research has helped me learn a lot, but not enough to actually fix the problem I have. Three weeks...
Okay, so it turns out Numix Bluish had a dead useless GTKRC file for GTK2 theming, so everything was going to default Ambiance. (Thankfully, I wasn't experiencing QT theming problems.)
So I copied...
I've reviewed that page as well, but a lot of those are for KDE users, and KDE's system settings manager doesn't play nice with Unity, according to reviews. KDE sure is sounding more appealing,...
Ouch, I completely missed the lacking quotation mark. Normally, directories wrapped in quotations are okay with spaces in folder names, but I still went ahead and removed the spaces in a local Home...
That's a good thought, Frogs Hair. I'll list what I tried.
I added this line to my .profile file. I also created a similar file named .xinitrc with this line for the heck of it.
#apply gtk2.0...
I have tried several different solutions across the Internet, and I still can't get Skype, VLC, Pidgin, or any other QT dependent app to be consistent with my GTK theme. (I use Numix Bluish, a mod of...
It's kinda funny nobody's equating Windows 8 as a criterion for the worst, in this case. :P Which is a good thing. Windows 8 is faster than 7 and only changes the desktop experience, rather than...
That is pretty sad, WinterMadness, I thought it was a given for them to ask someone else onsite who actually knows what the customer wants. I've seen that a lot at RadioShack. I also talked to one at...
Downloading it right now so I have it for later. Good thing I have a re-writable mini-DVD to burn Trusty Tahr onto, a typical CD-R couldn't hold this one.
I'd like to wish you Happy Birthday too, SanteFe! Not everyday your favorite OS releases a new version on the same day as your birth date, it's pretty convenient.
That is a huge relief to me,...
A specific time would be nice too. I got over my case of butt hurt over the sudden realization that 14.04 was the next LTS, so I'd like to have it downloaded and burned to a disc myself on release...
Okay, that had me in a slight panic there for a moment. I had still thought LTS were every three years because of 8.04 LTS, and it was some time before I got to install 10.04. (So long that 12.04 was...
Wait, this is an LTS release? When did LTS's start getting pushed out in two years time? I've been on 12.04 since its final beta to avoid breaking possibly everything during an upgrade every six...
People like that must extract their knowledge on electronics from the Fiction section of a book store. I know relatives like this, and it outright disgusts me.
The only reason the family PC ever...
I've only been using Ubuntu since 8.04, but I probably would have loved and hated 5.xx versions at the same time. It's easy to take auto-mounting drives for granted these days.
All the issues...
Suggesting Ubuntu, the most user-friendly distro out there, is harder to use than Windows, is very uninformed. I had a far easier time installing Ubuntu on my new hard drive than I would have with...
Well, nevermind, installing the latest patch for Ubuntu 12.04 off of Synaptic fixed the crash. (Edit : It was barely a new version number, 1.12.2.ubuntu1.3, versus 1.12.2.ubuntu1.2, but definitely a...
