Hehe.

Thanks for that! I've tried changing the settings on VLC and it didn't make any difference.

I installed SMPlayer and it worked straight away :) The only thing that made me jump was that it...

I've tried to play three old DVDs earlier and am wondering whether I've got to change settings on VLC? The first part of the title plays fine, but when I chose the episode I wanted I end up with the...

Hi,

I'm looking at my Dad's computer that has apparently been continually re-booting every few minutes once it gets to the log in screen for about a week or so (perhaps longer). I've now seen the...

Initially I stopped getting notifications for Telegram and text messages. Then I realised a few days later that I had missed a lot of phone calls, at which point I realised I hadn't been getting...

It works! :) I just plugged it in using an adapter and then changed the settings so that it picks up the second monitor.

Thanks. I'll give it a go ....

Hi,

I've got a bit stuck trying to work out whether I can use two monitors or not with my Dell XPS 8300. I've got two ports at the back of my desktop. It's a DVI -D one (I learnt there were...

I've been waiting for it to finish copying and I've just re-read your post. I must have been more tired than I thought as I didn't remember the part that said about hardlinks. I've used: rsync -avz...

I'd completely forgotten about that (don't ask!). So I set that running once I'd figured out how to do it, and it's been running since a couple of hours after you posted. I've got about 1.5TB of data...

Hi,

I've already got one drive that I save backups to, using Back In Time. I'm now trying to set up my new drive so that Back In Time will also save exactly the same back up to this new drive. Is...

Hi,

I've just run autoremove and gtkorphan.

If I've got this right, these are the last two times that it froze.

Hi,

I've never had this happen before, until about a week ago. My computer crashes, seemingly randomly, regularly. Sometimes up to four times a day. Sometimes not at all. I've tried key...

Thanks. I wasn't 100% sure about the CD drive!

I'll see if I can find a Windows disc then.

Thanks for all your help :)

When I use "sudo parted -l" it says "Warning: Unable to open /dev/sr0 read-write (Read-only file system). /dev/sr0 has been opened read-only. Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!...

Hi,

My brother's Fujitsu Lifebook A series laptop isn't booting into Windows so I've just inserted a liveCD to try to copy the data off his hard drive as it isn't backed up. When I try to click on...

Hi,

I installed Ubuntu (I think 16.04) from a live CD last week on my Advent laptop. It used to be my sisters and it also has Windows Vista on another partition. Yesterday I lost power to the...

Yes - I am using the unity desktop. I've just had a look and installed a PPA for unity at https://launchpad.net/~fixnix/+archive/ubuntu/netspeed following the instructions, but I can't see any...

Hi,

I'd like to be able to see the download speed of files I'm downloading in the top bar. Can I do that, and if so how? I'm using 16.04.

Thanks,
Naomi

Thanks! Sorry for wasting your time ... I've had a busy morning and forgot I'd moved to UBports!

Hi,

Maybe I'm using the wrong search terms - but I'm looking for an app that can take screenshots on my Meizu MX4. It's running 15.04. I can't seem to find anything suitable ...

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm using my Meizu MX4 on OTA-15 but I can't seem to be able to listen to the radio station that I want to whilst having the screen off.

First I tried http://www.ucb.co.uk/listen.html....

I think my router is an N. It's an ASUS one: https://www.asus.com/Networking/DSLN14U/ .

Even in that case is it sensible to buy the AC card so that if I get a faster router I'll not need to mess...

Right, I think I know where it should go now! :)

Again, learning loads from the links :)

I'm going to have a look at my router later and work out whether it's AC or N!

Thanks,
Naomi

Thanks a lot for all the info! I've learnt loads :)

Can I just check that this one on amazon and this one on ebay are the same as the one you refer to?

Also, I took off the case of my machine...
