Thanks for the advice mattharris4. I had been debating, now I'm glad I looked at this thread. I intend to install a MEAN Stack (MongoDB, Express, Angular, Node.js) to develop a few thing for myself...

I'm confused. Why would I try to change someone's opinion? I'm genuinely looking for information and advice. Maybe someone knows something that I don't. I'm fishing for fair warnings. A lot of...

Looking for opinions. I run Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Am about to load the MEAN Stack (i.e. MongoDB, Express, Angular, and NodeJS) along with npm to write some software for myself and to force myself to...

I'm sure this info is somewhere, but I don't know the wattage draw for my Ratel PC. Here's the config:
Ratel Performance ( ratp1 )
3rd Generation Intel Core i5 3470 (3.20GHz, 6MB cache, 4 Cores, HD...

Thanks Bucky.

Going to upgrade soon from v12.04 to 14.04LTS. I'm anxious so will ask a simple question. The System76 Ratel Performance that I bought has an Intel CPU. The config is below:

My year old System76 Ratel Performance is running Ubuntu v12.10 and I wish to upgrade to Saucy Salamander (v13.10). I'm an Ubuntu sys-admin newbie and this is my first shot at an Upgrade, so there is...

In my newbiness, I went on-line looking for answers on how to connect our printer. So much on-line info, I don't know where to start. So I come here with some questions to get started.

I tried to...

Thanks again, schragge. It worked fine, plus I learned a couple of things. I will take your suggestion about a common file the next time I need to add a setting that functions the same in both...

Thanks for the help. I set umask in ~/.bashrc and it worked well for my bash CLI. That was a good start. It's also the bulk of my need.

I did not find a place to set umask for Nautilus. The file,...

Rookie Linux-user here, bought this System76 in Jan. I'm looking to set Default Permissions. My research found umask. My question is this: According to "Best Ubuntu Practices" where should I set...

Done - Fixed! Your suggestion to re-check the local sound controls on the YouTube player did it. I definitely tried to get those controls to work before my first post, but they were completely...

Does this answer what you are asking: YouTube videos load and play. The video plays, pauses, skips, etc. The only thing that does not work is the audio. I presume this is because "Shockwave Flash"...

I ran the apt-get remove and then the apt-get install as you suggested. This is the result from my terminal on the latter command:


$ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
Reading package...

The Ubuntu Software Center has me confused. It seems to say this installed package "Downloads and installs the Adobe Flash Player plugin ...". It seems to say the name of the relevant file is...

The problem is that there is no sound with YouTube videos. Google draws so many hits on this problem, that I’m confused about which option to take. I’m a Linux Newbie. This is a new computer from...

Thanks for the help. After that post, I did find/read an informative article on sudo, so that added plenty of context to your answers. The answer to #3 sounds like it's going to be the key. Thanks...

A Linux newbie here (as root, or sys-admin at least). I purchased a new Ratel Performance for my first Linux box, it should arrive in a couple of days. Looking forward to getting good at this. I have...
