Hi All,

I tried to use the sound recorder which comes with ubuntu. It won't allow me to select a low bandwidth recording more and insists that it uses cd quality wav format.

Please delete this thread. My other 12.04 installations have the same issue, so it's NOT an issue/bug specific to 14.04!!!

At http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTQ5OTk it's stated that the mesa driver will be available as default starting in...

Thanks Danny,

I was looking at Oibaf's PPA while you were replying to the last message.

I've had this processor and mobo for awhile now, and there has been no signs of a video problem....even...

I am saying that I do not have an added video card, I am very confident that I am using the 'card' built onto the mobo. I built (actually updated) the system myself and there are no cards plugged...

Hi Danny,

I confess I didn't try any other kernels. I wonder if a newer kernel included with 14.04 is the reason why I have some success video recording the game?? I also had no idea that an open...

Glad to hear both your systems run well in 13.10. I wish mine worked as well as yours do.

I don't blame anyone and I do not gripe or bitch about 13.10 performance. Ubuntu is free and offered as...

Hi Danny,

I certainly did try simplescreenrecorder (in 12.04 Xubuntu, and 13.10 Xubuntu, before switching to 14.04 Xubuntu daily release version). I read absolutely every single bit of docs and...

This one is going to be marked as 'solved', although I think it's a bit of a cop out::>

Hi all,

I've tried just about everything to record criticalmass game sessions on my desktop. I have plenty of processor power, but the recordings come out with a black screen (sound is normal). ...

It works the same on my 6 core AMD desktop and on my I5 Dell laptop. Both (of the mice) were purchased from the same vendor on the same day-I'm stuck. I suppose they might be manufactured with...

I left out the fsck results.........

They indicate SDA7 was not cleanly unmounted. Is this a possible bug associated with 13.10??

Hi All,

I've been struggeling with 13.10, recentl;y trying to run Gnome 3.

I have a dual boot system with Xubuntu 13.04 and Gnome 13.10 on a 128 GB SSD. The 13,04 xubuntu runs well. But,...

Hi all,

I recently discovered that I can use an existing (and properly operating) linux partition to clone an exact copy of itself in another partition. This makes fresh installs lightning fast...

I still think ubuntu is headed in the wrong direction, but I can only hope that the problem is corrected. I did find that the changes needed to correct the problem(s) are documented and that the end...

Thanks to all who replied. I am going to mark this one as solved.

What I discovered is that the default screen for grub ver 1.99 has a bunch of output data that most users don't need. But, grub...

Hi All,

I have to do a quad boot system to do some experimenting. I have installed all 4 partitions. Two of them are 12.04 unity and 13.10 unity. The other two are 13.10 unity and 13.10 xubuntu....

Hi Danny, thanks for replying.
