  1. [ubuntu] Re: Unable to Boot After Boot-Repair-Disk

    Gigabyte says that I will void the motherboard warranty if I alter the BIOS. Also, I just found on their website that they don't list any 'nix in the supported OSs. I don't think I'll be able to...
  2. [ubuntu] Re: Unable to Boot After Boot-Repair-Disk

    I've searched through my BIOS and do not see a SecureBoot option. I have tried booting in UEFI mode and "Legacy" mode and both go straight to Windows. I will try updating my UEFI in the next few...

    Thank you for the quick reply!

  8. Re: LibreOffice .desktop file contents wanted

    I'm glad I could help! I am pretty new to Ubuntu, so if you ask me to do much more than post the contents of a file, I probably won't be of much use.

    Okay, I've learned a few things. Using the following command:

  10. [ubuntu] Re: Touchpad More Sensitive Horizontally than Verticallly

    It's nothing like that. I've had my Vaio for four years, and haven't noticed any touchpad wear while running Windows. If I move my finger around in a circle on the touchpad while running Windows,...

    Re: Hey Guys small help

    Enthusiast, eccentric, fiend, freak, aficionado, maybe even connoisseur come to mind. I've probably given you more options than you wanted, but I got carried away with the thesaurus.

    I got started with Ubuntu because we use linux systems (specifically Red Hat) for the research I do, so I wanted to get familiar with a similar system. I recently installed lubuntu on the 10 year...
  15. Poll: Re: What keyboard do you use for programming?

    I'm using the standard QWERTY keyboard that came with my VAIO, but I'm using the Dvorak layout instead of qwerty. I can type a good 20 wpm faster, and make less typos, but that's probably only...

    Re: New Year's resolution

    I'm more of the anti new year's resolution type. New year's resolutions are notorious for being forgotten not long after January. But this year, I'll make an exception. My resolution is to get 25...

    Poll: Re: Do you like tea or coffee better?

    I prefer green tea. Who knows if the flavinoids are actually beneficial to health, but I like to think they are. Too much caffeine (on the order of two cups of coffee) makes me feel sick.
