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!
I was able to undo and rename the files back to their original names as you suggested. It now boots straight into Windows with no problem. Is there any hope of...
I tried using the boot-repair-disk to fix a version of Ubuntu which never had a bootloader properly installed during the installation process. Unfortunately, this is now preventing me from booting...
Hello everyone!
I decided to try installing Ubuntu 12.04.2 to dual boot with Windows 7 on a custom-built desktop. I have the Windows system files and the boot files on a SSD (/dev/sda). On a HDD...
I mean I can't type a single character. I can use the onscreen keyboard. When the keyboard is functional, xinput lists the following:

I would try loading Windows XP just to see what happens. That could be your Vista partition. I am dual booting Windows Vista and Ubuntu 12.10, for some reason Vista shows up as Windows 7 on my boot...

I'm dual-booting Windows Vista and Ubuntu 12.10 on a Sony Vaio laptop. This is a fairly minor annoyance, but while running Ubuntu, the touchpad is more sensitive in the left-right direction than in...
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...
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...
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...
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.
Hello all,
I am trying to get started using c++ on Ubuntu 12.10. I saved the following code as "first.cpp"
