So i installed the nvidia 550 driver. Great. The flickering has stopped but i have another problem. I know nvidia will not save preferences as it anticipates other users using the same computer ( i...

I'm on 6.5.0-21-generic at the moment and as i explained in the post, it was the recommended driver in the software and updates section in settings, under additional drivers. All i did was follow the...

Hi guys, i recently posted this on the multimedia forum so if anyone in admin can kindly delete it that would great.

My problem. I have a lenovo t570 thinkpad laptop with Ubuntu 22.04.4. My ...

Hi guys, I'll apologise in advance if this is being posted in the wrong forum, if it is, then by all means move it to the correct one.

I wanted to do that in first place actually but i still wasn't sure. You have clarified things for me. Thank you. I have tried the latest download, that is to say i created a live usb and tried it....

Hi guys. Got a lenovo t570 here. i7 7th gen with touchscreen and fingerprint scanner. Is there a specific ubuntu that will work on this laptop or can i just download any ubuntu version and forgo the...

Hi guys. Recently bought a lenovo thinkpad t570 touchscreen. This question may sound silly but is there a specific version of ubuntu for this laptop or can i just download plain ubuntu and assume...

just an update guys. To my blessed relief i found one my usb sticks which contained most of the medical data i was trying to retrieve from my hd because i made a complete hash of trying to reboot the...

I'm a little lazy sometimes. I really should make back ups though and I will after this error

Hi guys, rEFInd hasn't actually worked although it's probably because of something i did or perhaps DIDN'T do. I have done something which might help you guys to help me a little as my brain cells...

hi guys, as it turned out i didn't have enough time to do much other than find out what i deleted from the grub menu and it turns out that i am missing the initrd.img-5.13.0-27-generic kernel and the...

I should have time today to try a few things and to also look into your suggestions. I've loaded rEFInd onto a usb drive and I believe I've place the same file in the correct area of the hard drive...

That's because I don't remember which entries i deleted. This boot repair looks interesting but I'm not sure of the correct procedure to use it. The only way i can access the hard drive is with a...

It's been a while since i was using Ubuntu so I'm not sure where exactly in this forum this question goes... Anyway. I have ubuntu 20.04. I went through the grub customizer, there are usually 4...

Your response is very enlightening and helpful and i almost regret asking about this as I now see the implication of my question/query. I think what i want to do simply isn't done in this way....

I think for me it would be very practical to have a script that i can run from terminal. As i am still a bit of noob with ubuntu i'm asking for help on this. What would a bash script look like if i...

Sorry for the confusion...you are right to ask which cache indeed. Any cache that gets written to when i am online.

i have it on good authority that when in "private or incognito' mode, the cache does not always get wiped. I've actually seen this myself a number of times already but on android devices not a...

Hi guys, I've been away from ubuntu for a little while and I ask for patience as i am not sure if i am asking this question correctly.
I currently have an alias which wipes my cache. Its really...

Recently upgraded from 18.04 to 20.04. Boot up is (I think) unnecessarily slow. So I read some forums and started some investigating. In a nutshell I discovered networkwaitonline service was a bit...

thank you very much actionparsnip, that did the trick. I edited the bash rc file and all is well

Exactly what actionparsnip just indicated. Maybe i worded the question incorrectly but ultimately i want a number of commands for 1 alias.

Hi guys,

I've searched google for a straightforward answer that i can understand but no luck so far.

I need to put 2 commands or multiple commands for a single alias and i don't know how to do...

Hi guys,

I'm still new to ubuntu but i simply didn't realize what a mission it would be to get ubuntu 18.04 to recognize my canon MX536 printer. I working off a Asus X55E AMD laptop.
