You must be right with 40 GB. The minimum requirement for Kubuntu is 25 GB of free space but it's better to go above to work and experiment the system with more freedom.

Media files in USB device? Except few important text documents, all my data are on external Hdd and some other on the internal one.

In fact it's simply because of financial difficulties. I needed at least two Hdd but was obligated to go with only one and it's to tight for all the things I have. I need to see what I can sacrifice...

Thank you TheFu. In fact I hoped that a good usage of some native commands could do the work but I know now that I must first install mediainfo and probably also FFmpeg. The problem is that I have...

Thank you TheFu. You told what I suspected. Since I only have one Hdd it will always be in demand and will never stop spinning. Now I know why I must forget this idea. Thank you very much for all...

Hi there,

There are pros and cons of shutting down hard drives when not in use. Some say it increases their longevity and others say it's the opposite. I thought about it because mine easily...

Hi there,

I'm looking for a command to log in a file the full name, resolution, size (in megabytes or gigabytes) and path of all video files in a tree.

Thanks for reading me.

Please guys help me understand this point. My UPS is connected on the output of the voltage regulator. I've made researches about voltage regulators and it seems that I should not suffer voltage...

Very good question. But at the same time I ask myself if they really know what they are talking about. My laptop is an Asus G74SX-TY032V. It reached 10 years just the last November. It suffered a...

Certainly, QIII. After discovering the problem we are in since so many decades with nobody being aware of it, I realized that this situation can allow someone to make much money while still really...

TheFu, thanks to your comment I went checking the atmospheric data of the town I live in and I received a shock. It's just crazy lol. I live in Libreville, capital city of Gabon (Central Africa). At...

Thank you men for your reactions. Just under my eyes I have the manual of the voltage regulator and the LG Tv. In the voltage regulator's manual it's written:
Input voltage: 120-280V (which is...

Good morning all,

I have a really big problem with TVs and I need to figure out what's going on. Let me show you how annoying it is.
Every day of the week, I generally only turn on my tv for 1h...

Thank you HermanAB for this great advice. I will read about this software and use it from now on. Too many people recommend it.

I don't have the impression that it can solve my problem (perhaps I should try auditctl) but this page shares good informations. Thank you schragge.

Hello everyone,

Using Dolphin I got copy errors while copying directories from my old HDD to my new one. I had to choose the option to ignore all of them so that the operation could finish without...

Sorry, I'm in a hurry so I missed that mistake. This command is not the good one. What I should have sent is:


sudo ddrescue -f -n -b4096 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST4000LM016-1N2170_W801B8DY ...

I have another desktop Seagate of 1 Tio which works fine after about 10 years, so I'm a bit surprised by what you say. What happen to Seagate from 2005 please?

Hello everyone,

I have a 2.5" Seagate 4 TiB external HDD, bought new about 5 years ago, which let me down several months ago (ls /dev just gives sdb and not sdb1). It has never suffered physical...

Thank you all for your good shares. I've read a lot about these devices and learnt many useful things. For example for my case (need to connect External desktop Hdds of about 1 to 4 Tio), I really...

Hello everyone,

On my laptop I only have a USB 3.0 port but I have several external 3.0 HDDs. I know that Usb Hubs divide their speed according to the number of connected devices. I mainly intend...

Thank you TheFu and I deeply loved your last phrase. The world would be very much wonderful if most people had this in mind. About the actual question, I started to think of this possibility but...

Hi everybody,

I would like to know if some access points have the ability to use protocols (802.11g or 802.11n) according to devices capabilities or if they can only choose one mode according to...

I'm sorry oldfred and I'm aware of all that you said. It's a mistake caused by the fact that while I tried to submit my post the page freezed. So I thought that I should tried again. It's just the...

Hi men,

I've ordered 2 2,5 inches Hdd of 4 Tio each to save all of my data (mainly video files) and also to have a backup space in case one of my Hdd would fail. I already know that ext4 is for...
