Hi, the problem seems to have resolved itself.

To summarize:

- Water was spilt on to the laptop.
- afterwards, the wifi would connect but would not carry any traffic
- the wifi did connect...

The laptop will connect to the wireless network but only passes traffic while connected to VPN

EDIT 3: wireless info script results with the wifi turned on and connected to PIA VPN

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Elitebook 8540w

Hello,

Last week my partner spilt some water onto the keyboard of my XPS 13 while I was out of the room. Within (less than 5) minutes of this happening I saw the water bottle toppled over the...

Hello I experienced a problem while using a Kingston DataTraveler 100 G3 64GB. I had been using it interchangeably with my Dell XPS 13 (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS) my custom build desktop (Ubuntu 16.04) and...

This seems like the actual issue. All of my drives are mounted with root permissions rather than associated my user account. I looked at this information on fstab...

Update. I installed gksu and gparted. I used


gksu gparted

to format the drive to FAT32 (because I intend to use the drive as a backup for a windows computer at school).

Then I noticed...

Filesystem type: ext3/ext4

I would have formatted this from a different Ubuntu laptop within the last 3-6 months.

rene@XPS-13:~$ sudo mount
/dev/sda2 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
none on /sys/fs/cgroup...

Thanks.


rene@XPS-13:~$ gksudo nautilus
The program 'gksudo' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install gksu

That doesn't work but if I try this:

Hi. I'm not sure what is going on with my external drive. My laptop isn't allowing me to view the contents. I attached a screenshot. I can paste the results from any terminal commands necessary to...

I have an issue with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS where if I double click on the window's title bar xorg restarts. Anyone else experiencing a similar issue?

Lubuntu is okay. I use it and I like it.

Seems a bit behind my ability to do that. I'd still say I'm a linux novice. I was able to remedy my original problem, unable to update due to not enough free disk space on disk '/boot' by doing the...

sudo fdisk -l

1. Is there a way to increase the size of the boot partition without doing a new install?

2. How to install with a sufficiently sized boot partition?

I also don't know where to start. I downloaded the file:
Windosill-linux-1.0.7-1334787847
and, have no idea what to do next.

I was able to figure it out. Looked at a few different threads and saw that it was either a Flash Plugin issue or a sound issue.
I tried using the Firefox Add-on Flash-Aid...

What do the numbers mean?

That worked for me thanks.

I also get this when attempting to run in debug


$ cowbell --debug
Debug mode enabled.
Loading preferences file from ~/.cowbell
TagLib: MPEG::Header::parse() -- Invalid sample rate....

When I try to use Cowbell's Batch Tagging, the following error happens.
Who else has seen this and what did you do to fix it?
