No matter what Ubuntu version or kernel version, some time after install it comes to the point where keystrokes take a long time to register. Sometimes it misses a character or duplicates a...

I fixed it. I edited FSTAB to get rid of auto mount for the partition and booted in recovery mode and executed the e2fsck and repaired the file system. I rebooted and put the auto mount back in the...

I can't do the e2fsck. It says the device is in use. This makes sense because automount during boot is hanging and I can't kill the process.

I attached screenshots to show result of e2fsck and...

I have around 40 partitions on 16 hard drives. It is a mix of ext4 and ntfs partitions. One of the drives (the boot drive) is an SSD. Seven of the drives are in external USB enclosures. The rest...

OK, I did some research on VirtualBox forum. There is a thread that explains that by default vbox does not allow VMs to create symlinks on shared folders. But that there is a way to enable it: ...

Thanks SeijiSensei. I will experiment with that. I was coming to the idea that vbox VMs can't create symlinks on vbox shared folders. There is no problem doing it inside the VM, but to try to do...

Yes, it was easier to use an EXT4 file system.

CREATE TABLESPACE dontest
OWNER postgres
LOCATION '/media/sf_LinWork5/test-tablespace';

Works fine. I had to pre-create the folder...

I have Ubuntu host with VirtualBox. I have ubuntu guest. I have defined an NTFS vbox shared folder of a large partition different from where the host is and from where the virtual disk file is...

Success! Thanks a billion.:)

OK, this will take some space, but here it is:


don@don-Stubuntu-16-04-03:~$ ls ~/.local/share/applications ~/.local/share/desktop-directories
/home/me/.local/share/applications:...

Thanks guber2. Well my education is begun.

I deleted the files from .local/share/desktop-directories and rebooted but the original menu list did not restore. However, no the audio production...

Ubuntu Studio 16.04.03, it uses xfce desktop. K3B was not installed by default so I used Synaptic Package Manager to install it. Afrter it was installed I didn't see it in the video production...

I have PCIe ide/SATA controller card into which I plug my IDE drive. Hopefully the Mobo bios will detect them thru this card.

I couldn't find anything on here that is like this question so I am asking it. Please forgive if it is a duplicate. Also I know it might not be exactly germaine, but I hope someone will answer. I...

BTW, I recode the recorded file with this command: ./ffmpeg -r 30 -deinterlace -i /media/LinWork2/VidRecord-6.mp4 -q:v 2 -c:v mpeg4 -c:a copy -y /media/LinWork2/VidRecord-6a.mp4
and it comes out...

I tried out all of the derivatives. The only one that I liked was "Ubuntu Gnome". But none are as user friendly as my 11.04 Ubuntu Studio. In any event I will try my command on 16.04 with current...

Yes, I have a 16.04.1 partition. I absolutely hate the desktop that comes with it. I use the 11.04 because I have compiled a lot of software in there and don't wish to upgrade it because it ruins...

It is the official ffmpeg. I entered the following command: "ffmpeg -f mpegts -i /dev/video1 -c copy /media/LinWork2/VidRecord-6.mp4 -f mpegts -c copy - | ffplay -f mpegts -s 1920x1080 -" It works...

Yes, I marked it as solved. I noticed your link. :)

Also, it was your other thread that led me to the resolution to the problem. Also, QIII helped by keeping me away from unnecessary tedium of...

I can't see where to mark this thread solved, but it IS solved.

Let me give a rundown. It was simple. If you read the different posts you'll see there are TWO host computers involved: an Ubuntu...

BTW, is it possible to get the current VirtualBox source and configure/make/install it in my 11.04? Or does it have a bunch of requirements that I can't get?

I know it's out of support. I have built a version of Lives on there with every codec enabled -- compiled and installed with all the requirements. It is my video editing OS. To upgrade could ruin...

QIII,

Thanks for the clarification. That and with what Halogen says I think I've got some things to work on tonight. Thanks for reading and helping on these boards. :)

Thank you Halogen. I edited my original post to say my other computer is duplicate hardware but the host OS is 11.04 and VirtualBox is 3.3?? A 12.04 guest works fine on both computers. I will read...

QIII,

Thanks for answering. First let me point out that I edited my original post a bit to clarify that the duplicate computer I refer to is identical hardware but has Ubuntu 11.04 host OS and...
