Not planning on dual boot, never liked windows, XPS 8940. Install screens say need secure boot for third party drivers, which will be unavailable later -- is that true, that it's now or never for...

Trying to install 20.04.1 LTS from a thumb drive onto a new Dell XPS running Windows 10 512 G SDD and 1T HDD. Once I got it to boot thr thumb drive I ran it off of the thumb for a while and then said...

The back-up I found is Deja Dup. Is it recursive? If I back up home, do I get everything?

Thanks.

IIRC, that gives me a tar, and if I'm stuck with unpacking it to the new hardware I'll overwrite the new drivers and such, won't I?

I have an older Dell with a 1T HDD running ubuntu 20.04 LTS 64 bit, under 200 gig in use, issues with machine so I intend to upgrade to a Dell XP with 512 gig SSD and 1 T HDD which will be delivered...

I have no knowledge of or experience with zim, but have been using NoteTab Pro for 20 years or so. I use it more as a nestable, hot linkable flat file database generator than as a pure editor. For...

I obtained a solution for this from the wine forum. I had placed a copy of my old /.wine directory in my new machine in the hopes of shortcutting things and that was the problem. Once I deleted...

I just installed wine. after many "file not found" errors using "open with wine" on an old NoteTab 6.2 package, I downloaded a brand new copy of NoteTab 7.2, changed to my downloads directory,...

I tried quick reply and that blew up. Here are the results of the sudo apt-get commands. I note that my launch pad now shows the updater icon seemingly indicating that updates are ready. Once I post...

As of a couple of days I have a red circle with a horizontal white line in my top (notification?) bar. If I click it, faint text says: "A problem occurred when checking for the updates". On other...

OK, I have a new machine upon which I installed Ubuntu (Classic) 11.04 after first installing 10.04 by accident. I have 4 main problems:

1) I have stuff in Almanah diary I would like to transfer...

This generally works as of 6/24/2011 except that the command wineprefixcreate doesn't work and isn't needed, the method works fine without it.

I made a 10.04 live disk and got it to boot. I had no luck with fsck, but was able to run sudo ls /media/HP_PAVILION/ after mounting /dev/sda2. I got a directory listing, of course, but it included...

NOt good, seems worse. ******* chkdsk/r fixed some stuff, but I still get same error when trying to dual boot ubuntu. Worse, live disk now won't load, I got a multi-line panic which locked machine on...

jmszr - I'll try that right now. I was doing some clean up in win in case i found a was to mirror it and noticed that it does show ubuntu in the installed programs list, at 15,103 MB.

Additional Information:
Using 11.04 live disk sudo fdisk -l says:

I don't understand BUMP.

I either installed Hardy heron or its predecessor by accident, but began running it exclusively. I did it way back when while trying to create a test drive disk, and I did not repartition the drive,...

[QUOTE=tedallal;5005957]That's a little bit misleading!

DOSBox is an MS-DOS emulator. <SNIP>

Hmmm - I don't see any relevant difference. "Emulator" or not, it allows programs written for one...

Ah, thanx. It appears to be application specific, so one must write a config file or set up the preferences for each video app I take it.

I'm running Hardy.

DosBox. I installed it last night and it has run everything I've thrown at it, including stuff wine wouldn't run, whilst wine, on pure windows programs, is only batting 500 for me ('Tripmaker 2000'...

And how is this done? Where does one even find out which one is enabled?
