I still have no sound...

These forums are making things difficult for me too... I cannot upload a screen shot of my sound settings. If I could, one would observe an empty "Play sound through" list...

Indeed, there is nothing in the "Play sound through" list box of the Sound Settings>Output tab. This tab displays installed drivers? As for the BIOS settings, I can test the speakers and they work...

Hello Ubuntu forums.

I have just decided to upgrade my LTS from 14.04 to 16.04 on a Dell Lattitude E5570 laptop. I have noticed two problems:



The Ubuntu Version displayed in the...

I got to the above quoted instruction and couldn't find the driver. The link is broken. Please help.

Naahh,,, forget it.

Thanks shantiq, that appears to have given me what I want.

Hello.

I recently used HandBrake to rip a track from a DVD. The only format supported by this software is .mkv, and while I can watch the video, others that have used their own devices to view the...

I ended up reinstalling 14.4 from a USB. The problem appears to have gone away; the inconvenience has perhaps underscored to me the importance of making use of the official installation channels...

Hello again.

Thank you Irihapeti for your ongoing assistance. It acknowledge your comments about Synaptic, but I'd rather just prefer to have things back to what they were before I tried to turn...

Thank you to both of you for replying. I understand that trusting what people say is risky, and unfortunately I'm seeing these risks play out here. Although I'm a Java developer, I'm rather inept in...

Thanks for your reply.

Although a version of xsane is given in the Software Centre, I didn't install it from there. I got the xsane software by following this link. I have removed the packages...

It has been about two days since I posted my question to the forum. I have received no assistance, and hence conclude the only action I can take is to uninstall xsane to be able to continue receiving...

Hello again Ubuntu community.

I recently installed the xsane package to assist me with scanning documents, and yesterday, I did some regular software upgrades since I installed the xsane software....

Thanks howefield for getting back to me.

I had a look at that page, but found that this page gave me concise instructions to follow, so follow them I did.

When not running as root I do lsusb...

Hello Ubuntu community.

I have just purchased a Canon LiDE 220 flatbed scanner so I can scan documents, only when I plug the scanner into a USB on my HP Laptop (which runs Ubuntu 14.04 LTS),...

Thanks for the tip ajgreeny.

I could install the software, but that doesn't answer the question of why my problems have decided to start happening right now. Do you know why? Could it be something...

Thanks for the tip. I tried and got the message: "error: invalid compressed data to inflate". I found this suggestion, and am wondering if it applies to me seeing as it was published in 2009? Still,...

Hello.

When I compress files, I try to have some protection by encrypting them with the .zip extension. I use the Archive manager that comes with Ubuntu. I'm using Ubuntu 14.4.

I tried to...

Truth be known, I'm still having what appears to be some complications. I too get the sign that says that I need a plugin when watching some (not all, but perhaps the more recent) Youtube stuff, but...

It was frustrating to see this appear, but I've apparently fixed it. The problem appeared to be with Firefox's configuration parameters being progressively perverted by the machinations of competing...

I have just discovered that I can no longer watch Youtube videos. What's happened?

I am running Ubuntu 14.4, and Firefox 39.0 on my HP laptop.

What would be nice is if I could disable the touchpad by double-tapping its top left corner is I am promised by operating instructions...

So my question remains to be answered... :)

Hmmm....

The "Disable while typing" check box of the OS's Mouse and Touchpad settings dialogue is checked. Yet, my pointer is racing around the screen while I type this... not happy!

Okay...

I found this, but still I'm not sure if this would work for my computer and no mention of a driver... has any materialised since this was posted?

Hello again Ubuntu.

I have recently installed Ubuntu 14.4 on a new HP laptop. The OS has installed fine, yet I find that the feature where I can double-tap the touch pad in the top-left hand...

I unpacked the image to a USB, booted from this USB, and killed Windows.

All appears to be good now. Thanks for your help.
