Thanks, that did the job.

...just for clarification here is a screenshot of what I'm referring to:

I recently installed Ubuntu MATE 22.04.4 LTS, and noticed that the checkbox to disable the Welcome banner(booting to desktop) is no longer there. It's not a big deal, but I really have no use for...

The Ubuntu installer Ubiquity will give you options for creating an encrypted partition.

Thanks. Yes, I am obsessive about backups.

I just installed Noble Numbat, used the ISO available on Thu 18 Jan 2024 . Is it possible to just update / upgrade like a rolling release, rather than doing a whole fresh install ?

I found a post on reddit where an Arch-Linux user made the statement that the "bug" was associated with Mate's compositor marco and a new version of the nvidia driver. he referred to a bug report...

Never had this occur until recent times, now it's happened on 3 different machines. Google search shows that the "Ubuntu Login Loop" associated with a recent Nvidia driver installation is happening...

OK so I did a tty login, removed the nvidia drivers and enabled the Nouveau driver. So now I can work on what happened, because I want to know(yes, I'm jiggy like that). Although, I did earleir...

This was/ is release 20.04.4, Mate DE. Since this conversation began, I've since re-installed and am staying with the 470 drivers, there doesn't appear to be any benefit to upgrading to the 512.xx...

This machine doesn't have Secure Boot, has legacy BIOS. I had just installed Ubuntu, and chose the 510 Nvidia Proprietary Drivers from the "Software & Updates / Additional Drivers feature. Upon...

After installing Nvidia drivers and rebooting I've encountered the " loop back to login" situation. If there's a solution to get past this ,I would love to know.

I'm glad someone else brought it up first...[/QUOTE]

It's a shame, I was just braggin' on Ubuntu forums for it's not being snarky...you guys proved me wrong.

It's an erroneous message that popped up, probably shouldn't have mentioned it, apparently something to do with Celluloid, as VLC would play the .ISO just fine.



? Of course not, I just...

I used Brasero to rip backup copies of several DVDs, creating .ISO images which I can open and play with VLC, or burn to disc. Most are 4.7GB in size, but one (the Martian) turned out to be 7.9GB. ...

This little jewel actually may be useful still, it has a dual core Pentium D and Windows Media addition. Of course you wouldn't want to take it on the internet, but it could function as a HTPC.

I use CentOS from time to time as a desktop OS. Adding additional repos isn't difficult, just a different system of package management than that of Debian and derivatives. I did have a problem...

I did love the Unix machines as well. I loved the keyboard that came with this Sparc, I think it was a Type 6. Of course it wouldn't plug into a PC, someone on the planet somewhere came up with...

This machine had a 333MHZ UltraSparc IIi processor(see thumbnail screeny).

These are all complete and original hardware, which is the main appeal for nostalgia buffs. Not shown is an old Sun Microsystems Ultra 10 3D Creator that I ended up gutting, and fitting with an...

I've got numerous beige boxen from the early 2000s that I can't bear to simply send to e-waste. They're old, but all are functional, and have Linux installed within the last 2 years. I'm old...

Thanks, I just started playing with SimpleScreenRecorder and I believe that will suit my purposes. I had made a couple .mpgs with Kazem but something's wrong with them, VLC crashes when I try to...

I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 MATE on this desktop, and would like to capture a video playing on the display, and save it as a .mpg file. I want to share but there is no external url I can link, and it...
