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

Hello
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...
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...
I use DaVinci Resiolve. I can tell you that for a FREE program it is close to the best there is. Highly sophisticated with a multitude of features. It started out has a video colorist software and...
Well, I am just blown away by how powerful this little computer is. But, the Mac Mini needs a monitor, and ironically I have mine connected to a 65 inch Sasmung Smart TV, which of course is run by...
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,...
Hello Everyone
First and foremost, I am an Ubuntu user since 2006, and remain so. A couple of years ago, I took up the hobby of drone photography. I have a few drones in the Mavic series, and...
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.

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...
Hello Everyone
Just thought I'd get an experienced opinion about the maximum memory that can be installed in my old laptop. It's an old i5 and the business I usually buy my memory from says that...
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...
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...
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

Hello Everyone
I have an old laptop that i want to do some video editing with, using the most powerful software my laptop will handle. I know I can use some lighter editors like Openshot, but I...
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...
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...
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...
Hello Everyone
I have an HP laptop with an A10 AMD processor and 16GB RAM. It's always had Windows 10 on it. I've been predominately a Linux user since 1999, but I'm not very techy. I know my...
Hello Everyone
I use an old Dell 6420 laptop for most of my work and up until today it has worked flawlessly with 20.04 LTS. I rarely use a the integrated web cam but I had Zoom meeting to attend...
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...
Hello Everyone
i have a Seagate 4TB personal cloud NAS that has failed. According to Seagate support, it is not repairable and the data is not retrievable. This drive was only 2 years old and it...
Thank you, that is very helpful. I wrote the entire book in LibreOffice then imported it to Scrivener. I am not very familiar or good at this type of software. It has taken me years to write (with...
Thank you for your reply.
Yes, I have Scrivener 1.9 Linux installed on 18.04. However, when I import the project that I started in the Windows version, it results in a number of formatting...
Thank you that is useful.
