Fun facts: F11 creates a shell at the top of the screen, across it with Ubuntu Mate; hitting F11 again, makes the shell full screen; hitting F12 removes the shell and puts you back into the GUI...
I solved this - I downloaded the run file from HP and let it run under a terminal screen, now scanning works well. Also I suggest running the script from /tmp, otherwise you will have to clean up...
The issue is scanning. The printer is setup as a network printer and the stock driver for Ubuntu mate works well for printing, but scanner software cannot connect. Its no problem on Windows. Thus...
Hardware technology changes over time, as well as software; where's the standard? If you consider the Munich experience, clearly standardizing on Linux is relatively complex. And that's just one...
Why the megabyte act? Why not a gigabyte or terabyte act?
Ubuntu Mate 16.04 is very good, on a 4 month old Dell Desktop, ~$300 in cost, very good. Why this constant diss of Linux by some individuals??
Just discovered a great Linux application for Pandora. Really loving it - it's one less reason to use Windows 10, and one more reason to use Linux!!

Presumably this kernel does not have the bug?
which vmware? 12.5?
I switched to Mate because of similar issues with Xubuntu and thus now, I no longer support Xubuntu. But Mate is very good, and I liked it so much, I became a Patreon, because if it weren't for...
at the terminal yes or no agreement. Obviously its a bug, in the apt-get utility, but software boutique will fix it for you in a graphical menu. It's just a warning from me to not install these MS...
I went to the irc help and used the software boutique to "fix" the problem. Someone there gave me the tip
So I have Ubuntu Mate 16.04 64 bit, and I decided to try and install the sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras, which was the recommended procedure on "Ask Ubuntu", now the installer is stuck...
it took a couple hours, but I reverted back to 16.04; All's well that ends well!
I know. I know. my bad.
I upgraded to 16.10 but, alas, RStudio is now broken. I am loathe to switch back to 16.04, perhaps I should try another R GUI ? It's a pity, because RStudio is really super.
The above upgrade...
thanks for the tip!
Thanks for the above link of files. On my Inspiron 3655 with an A8 processor, onboard ATI graphics, the playback is quite good. I am using 64 bit Ubuntu Mate, version 16.04.1;
There are hardware options out there - Dell equipment usually runs fine with Ubuntu. I suggest that people use common sense when making computer purchases, if their real plan is to run it with Linux...
"Sometimes it breaks entirely, not shutting down, but telling me it would, when I try it again. The 'shutdown' command on terminal works fine in all situations. To make power management complete:...
I prefer xubuntu & mate, but I would wait until version 16.10;
I find GNOME3 very annoying, and KDE to be too overwhelming, much more than I need for a UNIX-like OS. I used to use Unity, and I liked it because Canonical keeps it up to date well, but I find...
I'm a Mate "Patreon." Best OS, that I've ever used on a PC, and I go all the way back to card reading.
