I know how to create a bootable USB stick on Ubuntu using a downloaded ISO file (http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu). I want to create my own ISO file of my Ubuntu so...
OK, so I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Ubuntu is my only operating system on this computer and I have next to nothing stored on it. Yet, I get an error when I try to do an update that claims I'm out of...
That's how it is supposed to work, but when I paste the URL and hit "OK" nothing happens.
I just recently did a clean install of Ubuntu 12.04 on my computer and upgraded LO from 3 to 4. Now I can't get the Firefox themes to work. I know I had this problem the last time I did this but for...
Nevermind. Further tinkering found the problem. They are bleeding some of the improvements from 14.04 into 12.04 and one of those was the improved "Brightness and Lock" feature. I unchecked the box...
Thank you! :)
I would like my name switched to NDER. If that is unavailable, I would like MagisterDixit or CuffsAlister. Thanks!
So how do I get to use a real name instead of FpCrPnW? I have been on here for about a year and am decidedly not a bot.
I took the plunge on a back-up computer and the settings stayed, but now that computer is glitchy as all hell. I will just wait for the next update to 14.04 (for stability) and try with a clean...
I run Ubuntu 12.04 and since my last update, caffeine has not be keeping my computer awake. The icon still shows that it is on but it does nothing. My computer dims and then goes blank just like it...
Jumping in the middle of this thread- I have my 12.04 LTS set up to look more like Mac with their style buttons, etc. I also have yellow folders because the orange is a hideous color. Will I be able...
Thanks, Slickymaster!
Every update that I get in the update manager gives me the same error when I try to install it:
Requires installation of untrusted packages
The action would require the installation of packages...
The only articles I have read for the new LibreOffice 4.2 are for Ubuntu 13.04 and up. I really like the new icon theme and would love to use it. Can I update LO to LO 4.2 in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS? Can I...
Nevermind. It just took about 4 hours to sync. It would show each one as it "completed," but they didn't really show up until all of them were completely loaded.
Can you sync music on your computer with UbuntuOne free? I tried and apparently failed. I put my music folder inside my One folder and it began syncing. The problem is that the folders for the...
I have a new Droid Maxx running Android Jelly Bean and a computer running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. When I plug in my phone using the usb cable provided, the phone shows that it is plugged in as a media...
I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my wife's computer (dual boot) and I have hit a weird problem, the restart button only logs the user out and the shut down button does nothing. How do I fix this?...
Thanks, SeijiSensei! I will probably try to keep 12.04 just because I am still a noob and the risk of user error is high. But if I get an Android and it just won't work, I'll know what to do!
I'm still using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. You say the MTP wasn't as good before 13.04. Should this concern me? Will it be a real problem? I use my computer for home and work and am really not interested in...
I am finally joining the smartphone movement and I have one question: Does Android work well with Ubuntu? By that I mean, can I backup my purchases and can I easily sync music that is on my PC with...
Thanks, mc4man! With that error message I was able to google the solution that you posted for another person way back in the day. I put
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
in the...
Sorry. I had a duh moment. Here are the terminal results:
VLC media player 2.0.8 Twoflower (revision 2.0.8a-0-g68cf50b)
[0x9660908] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc'...
After entering "vlc" in terminal, it opens VLC. From there I'm lost. I pasted "> ctrl+d" and nada. The name@nameUbuntu12 doesn't come back up for me to actually use the command- or any other. Did I...
