Thanks for the tip but increasing font size in GUI is not what I need
I made a few other test:
When booting in "advanced settings" from Grub it starts with a fail safe low
screen resolution then...
Hi
I upgraded to a 4K TV set.
So after checking the rares demo UHD test transmissions I decided to try connecting a Ubuntu PC to it.
Instead of staying to the old 1920x1080 resolution it was set...
For video downloading there is a nice Firefox add-on called:
Video downloadhelper.
Just make sure to have a big swapfile and /tmp directory
At boot in the grub menu if you choose advanced options you can try
an older kernel.
This menu is very useful each time you suspect an update and for
many other things.
It is exactly the behavior when your WIFI is subject to interference.
Try another channel.
Some received a computer or device for Christmas and want to use WIFI too.
I totally agree with that.
And if you have a big hard drive Grub allows you to install a lot of distributions or even twice the same one.
This is the best backup strategy IMHO.
Stupid error messages on a perfectly working system telling me that I must look into a log file
without telling me where to find it.
VLC and Kodi are very good at it.
The mysterious "keyring" is...

It may be OT but I recently tested an HDMI to USB dongle and it may be a nice solution to
many problems:
It is cheap
Does sound too
Capture a lot of modern devices.
It is supported out of the...
WIFI aerials inside a metal box can give very poor and unreliable results.
If you want to use WIFI I highly recommend using a USB stick at the end of a
USB cable.
Thus it can be moved and you can...
VLC is also useful it plays and record streams from the Internet.
Plays and record channels of air from a DVB dongle or card too.
Looks and works the same in its Windows and Linux version.
In fact I found a better solution:
Instead of the rather obscure UUID this is what I now use in my /etc/fstab file:
LABEL=LINUXhome /home ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
#...
A tip to avoid accidental deleting of partitions is to give them a useful name or label.
I recently discovered that /etc/fstab allows to use Label to mount partitions.
This too can be very useful....
So you mean that an old computer with an old OS is a critical risk for all the brand new ones fully up to date with all their bells and whistles.
Do you sell computers or OS's for a living ?
No just reporting what I believe is a small bug.
It seems that this software is listed under the video editing category.
In fact it allows receiving digital terrestrial radios in Europe and I think Australia.
I believe it is useless anywhere else...
Even on very old devices provided they have gigabit Ethernet I get at least twice that speed and it is the processor that limits it.
The main advantage of samba is that it allows easy sharing of...
Does it allows amazon prime videos in full HD ?
Other than that why should I leave Firefox that has been available on lots of OS's since decades ?
Using 20.04 this is the result of sudo lspci:
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 0c)
It worked "out of the...
I think I'm the winner as I have 2 more options:
Kodi and Ubuntu studio. :-)
They all seem to work but I mainly use Ubuntu.
It's nice to be able to try other environments.
The idea of having...
I do not agree at all with that.
Linux is the best tool to understand what Windows is actually doing behind your back.
On the contrary never use a Windows program to access the content of your...
The most I have seen is three kernels plus two low latency kernels if you use ubuntu studio.
If you want to compile your own kernels you must have room to test them.
IMHO it doesn't deserve a...
I believe the mistake was that you don't format a HD (sda)
You first have to create at least a partition (sda1,sda2, etc)
I found a more permanent solution it is to use only UUID in fstab.
In fact since the beginning internal EMMC was called mmcblk0 and the SD-card mmcblk2
With no mmcblk1
The last kernels seemed to...
