Can somebody explain how everything runs silky smooth under 13.10 and earlier, but 14.04 runs at a tenth that speed and 14.10 beta is probably even slower than that, and now has graphical corruption....
Nope, not fixed the issues, in fact the issues are even worse in 14.10, with an even lower frame rate and now graphical corruption. So I'm here stuck on unsupported 13.10
The catalyst drivers are...
Under 13.10 I got 45-60fps solid. Under 14.04 I get 7-20fps, which is unplayable. I've always used the open source drivers. My graphics card is ATI HD4870. I've tried Wine 1.6 and Wine 1.7, with no...
I tried the compilation guide on the ffmpeg website, but it fails on the fdk-aac step.
Can't exec "libtoolize": No such file or directory at /usr/bin/autoreconf line 195.
Use of uninitialized...
Last time I tried using ATI's graphics drivers for my HD 4870, I found out that they no longer supported graphics cards pre HD 5xxx.
Not that the closed source drivers were very good anyway.
...
I have multiple OSes. One that I'm using has virtually no HD space left.
How can I temporarily use the space of a Ubuntu installation that's got lots of free space, from within a different Ubuntu...
I've just read this http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-19909106
Does that apply to Ubuntu too?
sudo apt-get install wine
Reading package lists... Done

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer...
x11grab isn't working for me. I've installed ffmpeg using the tutorial on the wiki, and ffmpeg seems to work, except for x11grab
For example, if I try
ffmpeg -f x11grab -i hw:0 test.mkvI get...
I've looked at pretty much every setting I can find, I've spent an hour searing various websites, and I can't find anything.
As far as I can remember, I'm doing the same as I've done in the past...
No it isn't. I use a graphics card.
I have 4GB of RAM in my computer. But Ubuntu and the BIOS screen itself reports it as 3.25GB exactly.
I found a BIOS option called "memory hole remapping", which when enabled causes BIOS to see...
I have a floppy disk image of freedos
I need to stick a bios update file into this image of freedos, then get the whole image onto a floppy. Only, I haven't a clue how to do any of this.
Could...
If I have a script running that depending on some conditions starts a programme, is there a way to have my script kill that programme?
Semi-related question
Is there an easy way to run a...
It would be much more convenient if I could save on a USB drive the driver to my laptop's wireless internet, instead of having to find a network cable every time I reinstall Ubuntu.
Is there a way...
Okay, apparently after searching through every directory mentioned in various googled LXDE main menu editing guides for the menu entry, one directory seems to never get a mention till I found it now....
I've been searching for hours, and I've tried dozens of things, but I still can't remove some items from the main menu.
Does anyone know how I can remove them?
So, I just accidentally deleted /usr/lib64
About 0.5 seconds after I hit enter, I realised what I'd done. I expected Ubuntu to come to a grinding halt. Surprisingly it didn't.
Even more...
Very old thread here, so sorry about the bump, but I think it was relevant.
I was also having this problem and this thread came up on google. After another hour of work I managed to figure out the...
Thankyou! The solution was in that thread here http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11507971&postcount=23

When I boot my computer, I get the grub menu with my OSes and their various kernel versions to select from.
But the latest option I can use on one of my Ubuntus is 2.6.32-34, despite 2.6.32-35 and...
Ubuntu Kernel 10.04 isn't updating.
I wouldn't even have noticed, except I have ubuntu 10.04 installed twice. One auto-updated its kernel to 2.6.32-35 ages ago. But the other is still on 2.6.32-34, and doesn't seem to think it needs to...
