  1. Re: Frozen Mouse and Touchpad after turning on screen sharing on my Smart TV (SOLVED)

    Thanks for looking. I was able to find the solution. Running dconf reset -f / from the terminal solved it. I had done very little tweaking so a full reset was not a problem.

    Thanks

  2. Frozen Mouse and Touchpad after turning on screen sharing on my Smart TV

    I have screwed something up and my efforts to correct it have fallen short. I am running 22.04 on a Dell Latitude i5. I wanted to cast my screen to the TV (which I do all the time on a...
  3. Re: Which version or distribution fits better in this computer

    I have an old Asus Aspire One with an Atom N27o and 1 GB RAM. It runs Bodhi Linux quite briskly, but in my opinion it's a crappy distro. I agree with the previous post. Puppy would be a good...

    Re: The New Apple M1 Chip

    Well, just like the hackentosh, it will eventually happen. I've been an Ubuntu user for years and haven't used the macOS much at all. But, I'm amazed at how similar they look and act. They even,...

  8. Re: Confused about memory max for my laptop Dell E6420

    Thank you, I have all that documentation. My question was why DMIDECODE reports 16GB as the maximum since it gets it information from the mother board.

    Regards

  9. Re: Confused about memory max for my laptop Dell E6420

    Thank you for the replies. I'm aware that factory specs say that 8GB is the max. But, in searching for an answer I found a number of old Dell forums where people have successfully installed 16GB...
  10. Confused about memory max for my laptop Dell E6420

    Hello Everyone

  11. Re: Terminal Command to determine how much video ram I have

    Thank you, but I've already added to the max of 8GB. This old laptop runs amazingly to be so old, but the editing software I want to use requires a minimum of 2GB of dedicated memory to run.

    I'll...
  12. Re: Terminal Command to determine how much video ram I have

    Thanks again. According to that, there is only about 300mb going to VRAM.. Not much. But, Cinelerra GG seens to run fairly well. I can't afford a higher end laptop right now (spent too much on the...
  13. Re: Terminal Command to determine how much video ram I have

    Thanks, CelticWarrior

    I was afraid of that because there is no setting in the BIOS to adjust what is shared. Nothing to do but just try it, I guess and see the results.

    Thanks again

  16. Re: What happens if I disable secure boot on a Windows to set up a dual boot?

    Thanks for the replies. As I mentioned above, I got it sorted. But, I'll mention that the only ISO on DVD I had available was Mint 19.3. That may be too old for Microsoft to have signed, and that...
  17. Re: What happens if I disable secure boot on a Windows to set up a dual boot?

    Thanks for your help. Finally figured it out. It was in fact the secure boot. It was attempting authenticate the Linux boot disk and of course it couldn't, so it just booted the hard drive. I...
  18. Re: What happens if I disable secure boot on a Windows to set up a dual boot?

    Thank you for your reply, but the issue is I can only boot from the hard drive, not from any other installation media. I have the boot order set to boot from the DVD drive first, USB second and hard...

    Re: Failed NAS

    Thanks CelticWarrior

    I assumed that to be the case. I'd also heard that about Seagate, but only after I already had the drive. It's not a major disaster as I have the date backed up but it will...
