I tried a few methods online, but none worked. Then I found a method posted at Ask Ubuntu that says to press Fn-R-Alt, then release Fn while holding the others to trigger a command key. This...

Thanks for the replies. But 176 was the value returned in the example I linked to in my OP. When I used "REISUB" on my Lenovo, I did not have to change any of the configurations for it to work. Are...

I was previously able to use the magic SysRq key (see <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key>) to do a graceful reboot of my Ubuntu computer by pressing Alt-PrtScr and then, in order, R, E,...

Thanks, both of you, for getting back to me. I see I can view logs with the GNOME System Log Viewer ("Logs"). But I don't know which type of or portion of the logs you want. I'm guessing these logs...

Could you tell me how to look at the system logs? Sorry, I'm a noob!

I installed inxi and ran inxi -Fz. I think this is a safe program, but can you prove it to me? Anyway, here is the output:

One of the reasons I use Ubuntu Linux is it's supposedly more stable than Windows or Mac. However, since I installed Ubuntu on my current computer several weeks ago, it has crashed twice because of...

The download from Pair Networks completed.

Thanks again.

I went to the Ubuntu Mirrors page and chose to download from my Web host, Pair Networks (www.pair.com), as they are reliable and have been in the Web host business since 1995 (they...

Thanks.

I don't have a BitTorrent client and have never used one before. Is it safe?

I'd rather not use BitTorrent. Is there any way I can download the .iso file normally? Do I just have to...

I have tried to download Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop three times, and each time the download failed early on. Two of the downloads were from .edu's (princeton.edu and arizona.edu) and the other one was from...

It seems this issue corrected itself after I updated my computer yesterday and did a restart. Strange, as I believe I had done updates before that didn't correct the issue. The shield icon now shows...

For the past few months, in the upper-right part of my screen -- next to the icons for Wi-Fi, sound, and battery -- there's a shield icon with a circle with a red exclamation point. When I click on...

Hi,

I was wondering if there is any simple way of changing Ubuntu's encryption password. If possible, please provide official documentation.

If a laptop model (say a Lenovo ThinkPad X270) is said to be fully compatible with an OS (say FreeBSD), will all configurations (RAM, storage, processor, etc. [note: I think other things like Wi-Fi...

You're awesome! Thanks!

So I made the mistake of blindly entering sudo code from a forum, which didn't work. I was trying to add exFAT to my system, so my computer could read my camera's memory card. This was the code I...

Hi, what is the simplest way to generate, say, 20 random numbers that are all 10 digits long using Terminal in Ubuntu? I am new to Ubuntu and don't know anything about coding in Terminal....

I just did a clean install of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS last night and already I feel like I might have messed up something. First of all, I am new to Ubuntu and not much of a computer person. My problem is I...

Thank you so much for your reply!

Yes, "nick" is my username.

I will take a look at everything you mentioned when I get home from a restaurant I'm about to visit. Could you please take another...

I just downloaded my first .deb file to be installed manually. It's a program from Corel called AfterShot Pro 3, a RAW photo editor.

After I paid for the program on Corel's website, a download...

Does anyone know how to fix this? I should note the OS booted normally the first couple of times.

I upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04 from 16.04 last week.

Now, when I restart the computer, I am bombarded with a BusyBox command line with the first command preceded by "initramfs."

How do I get back...

I will wait until 18.04 LTS to try some of these options. I was hoping there was an easier way to fix it. Just for the record, here is the message I get in Firefox:

Thanks for the replies. It is now my understanding that the password was created for the Ubuntu Software application.
