and it did another weird thing a little while ago.
when you quit it gives a dialog box about how many tabs you are closing.
I got multiple copies at once of that dialog box.

I saw no malware, it looked like a real thing to me.

What I did notice, though, is that the address that showed up in the input line of Firefox when I tried to open the shortcut was the location...

This is a recent fresh-install dual-boot ubuntu 14 and Windows Vista.

While using Windows, I found an intersting URL about something I wanted to install in Ubuntu.

I saved a shortcut into a...

So I still have the same problem, even after attempting reinstall of HPLIP. Is there a way to roll back my printer driver to the previous state, in case what happened is some system file got mangled...

On startup, the HP program gives me a message saying it can't detect the system tray, and then force-exits. (though for some reason it doesn't do that every time I boot)

When I try to print...

What's a tray, and why do I fail to have one?
Also there were earlier error messages about a missing python package and a "System Problem Detected"

As far as I've tried it, it works fine in Windows, but I feel more at home in Ubuntu, so I would not want to keep doing the shut-down-and-reboot dance every time I want to print something out.

Thank you, oldfred. I tried it. Not quite there yet. Same quit-in-the-middle problem as before. Also the auto install script screwed something up resulting in a bad boot which I had to recover from...

So I sometimes send a thing to the printer, and it dies after printing only half a page.
So far I have only experienced this when I print a thing that has a lot of color, off of a web page. In one...

It seems that my scanner utility scans grayscale, rather than black/white and I see no setting to reset for that. Is there a good utility for changing the image so it's strictly black/white...

I just acquired an HP6310 All-in-One printer-scanner and it works. But I am still working out the best ways to use it.

One thing I noticed, it only scans one side of the page. So if I scan a stack...

I lost the view by clicking into the "search contacts" pane, and now I do not know how to go back to it.

When I am on the go and I don't want to carry lots of stuff with me, I sometimes do some writing on the "Notes" app in the iPod Touch.

Then I can send them to myself by email and open them in my...

Thank you. I ended up reinstalling everything clean, since I figured that even if those fixes worked, I wouldn't understand what I had.

thank you, darkod. This sheds some light. But how do I run a bootinfo? Is that something that can be done from within windows? within linux if I could get to it? from a cd-rom? and how do I use it?

I should add, Thinkpad uses three partitions, one for Windows and two for its system utilities and recovery software. I can create a fourth to run Ubuntu in, but it does not allow the machine to have...

So I have a dual-boot Thinkpad, with Vista and Ubuntu. I decided to re-install everything because Vista was getting messed up.

I installed Vista from disks provided. Okay so far. Have Vista...

Orange Crate, you misread me. I have exactly seven problems dealing with Ubuntu, as described above. I have an infinite number of problems dealing with Windows, which I only go near when I absolutely...

pqwoerituytrueiwoq, I tried your command for installing Microsoft fonts, and it went a little wrong. It gave me a Eula, but when I tried to click "accept" it somehow read me as having hit "decline"...

I like Ubuntu most of the time, but I am still not sure whether the grass is greener on the other side of some other fence when I feel frustrated by some things.

Things I like:
It's Linux.
It's...

Thank you, Kostkon, but still:

a) I don't see anything named evince on my machine.

b) I am wondering whether these are just plain djvu files or whether they are encrypted in a way only...

I got a copy of the eight-cd set The Complete New Yorker, and as it is, I can read it on my Windows partition [I have a dual-boot machine] with the reading software provided, but I am wondering if...

I use a Thinkpad T500, dual boot Ubuntu and Windows Vista.

I have very short battery life, which I have blamed on a decaying battery.

But it occurs to me: my OS is a one-size-fits-all distro,...

Habitual, I typed that command and the terminal output is reproduced below, as you requested.

It seems entirely possible that I accidentally merely added a URL to the menu bar with an accidental...

So immediately after running the latest update, I saw a new icon on the menu bar I have never seen before. (I use the "classic" view.)

The icon looks like a picture of a globe. If you mouse over...
