How do I do these things exactly - both the expansion and the making of a new "logical" NTFS (I'm not on ubuntu exclusively so sorry for not being up to date)

Are you suggesting it's easier to create a whole new NTFS partition (on the unallocated) and then be done with it? (so that I don't have to move the ubuntu stuff (ext4)?

That's fine by me.

At...

Hmm... your terminal command seems to have revealed a third one - must be one of those "Q" drive type invisible things

- 1 HDD,
- 2 drives/disks
- multiple partitions on each


Model: ATA WDC WD5000BPVT-2 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 500GB

I have a dual boot laptop w/ Windows on one disk (in windows parlance "disk 0" or "C drive") and Ubuntu 16.04 installed on the second disk aka "1" aka "D". I have enough unallocated space on so I...

Yea I didn't do backup - I skipped it since I wasn't prompted at the installation. Now I know that's a must. I do have the live CD.

OK things have gone from bad to worse - I can't even get the GUI started now Looks like I should do what I should have done earlier anywayv (reinstall the whole ubutnu - what I need now is a...

I have no idea what you mean.

Whatever banned IP I ping I get "destination port unreachable"

No it has nothing to do with any of that because I did have access to those sites yesterday.

Nothing happened overnight that caused half websites to shut down here.

Now I did a ping and the...

@TheFu - I can't connect to that site (jdpfu.com) evidently one of the blocked ones.

And one more thing: some sites are half-connected (for example I can access some yahoo pages while I can't...

So far I'm only able to make out that it's def. not a browser, firewall or wifi network issue.

16.04's inbult help (F1) has nothing whatsoever on offer. The only troubleshoot in my help section...

Can someone help please?

I come from windows and therefore I have no dedicated compose key and it really is a hazard to combine a set of keys in order to simulate a compose key since compose key...

Can somebody at least verify whether this is the right place to ask?

I really want a way to rearrange keys on my keyboard (none of the programs suggested in other threads including the already...

It may not have been clear but I'm asking for a solution.

I read on this forum to try KeyTouch in order to program a MultiMedia key/button but that resulted in nothing - that program seems to be not effecitve on ubuntu 16.04. Other programs are even worse...

Everything works perfectly in the windows part of my machine. It boots into it without a hint of a problem.

Only ubuntu fails and even that is not predictable or regular. And even that is strange...

Now half the programs can't even start

I can't turn on update manager, synaptic etc etc, none of them even open. Terrific.

Browser just crashed multiple times in a row

Right now I am unable to continue using Ubuntu

Is this normal expected Ubuntu behavior?

Strange how Ubuntu is beginning to act like a 10 year ago Windows-XP machine infected with malware

And the mess continues:

A minute ago the login (not the entire computer but only the GUI part beginning with my username and password input) decided to abruptly shut and restart (completely...

This problem must be solved

The latest crap of a login was in only after I tried it 6 times!

Also this time I tried to to boot via "recovery" kernel and that too failed to boot.

This was...

you mean /var/log?

What file should I open in that folder?

Now my computer "hanged" after it logged in and after I used it for an hr.

In other words this week's update of Ubuntu is nothing short of clusterf*ck
