Looks like you got your problem solved, but just wanted to mention that I've really liked Ubuntu Tweak for this purpose -- every week or two I check for any old kernels are have UT remove them. I've...
I've been experiencing an issue recently where every once in a while, suddenly all my drop down menus become blank. This applies to all programs, whether it's the File menu in LibreOffice, or...
Awesome -- that worked! I guess with the increased acceleration I just noticed it more horizontally since I have two monitors and so have more horizontal space than vertical.
Just finished installing 16.04 64-bit on an old system that previously had 12.04 32-bit. Under 12.04 the mouse worked normally (Logitech M705), but since the upgrade the sensitivity seems to be...
I have an rsync script that runs nightly to back up critical files, and for some reason it's recently been unable to copy the files -- I get, for instance, "change_dir "/media/Pictures" failed:...
I tried each of the options in turn, but none of them booted from USB. I'm trying to figure out which one is supposed to be the correct one to do some troubleshooting. I've done a lot of booting...
There was indeed a .parentlock file in the folder, but after deleting it I still get the same error trying to run the Netflix app. Trying it in a browser still gives me the old "Silverlight not...
I'll clarify some stuff I probably should have mentioned in the original post. I'm trying to get Netflix working on my System76 laptop just to make things easier. I do have a Blu-Ray player with a...
I've gone through a lot of trouble to try to get Netflix to run on my Ubuntu laptop, with no success yet. I've tried pretty much every suggested solution with pipelight, but I always end up with a...
I'm having an issue I've seen posted in a number of places with no tangible solution. Each time I connect my iPod to my 14.04 laptop (and this issue has persisted since 12.04, when it first...
I'm trying to set up my Gazelle Pro to dual boot Ubuntu and openSUSE, so I have a USB drive that I'm trying to boot from. The problem is that the boot options don't have the usual names like CD-ROM,...
Thanks for all the helpful information and advice. I'm marking this as solved.
The former (file://) downloads the PHP file, while the latter (http://localhost), which is what I have been using successfully, parses and executes the PHP correctly.
Proper execute permissions are set. So even if I select "Open in Google Chrome", what's happening is that Chrome is being used to open it, but the actual PHP5 mod isn't parsing the code before...
I did a little more playing around and found that I CAN get the files to parse if I type the address (e.g., "localhost/test.php") into the browser. They just won't open if I try to open the files...
Thanks -- but I'm still not clear on what these commands are. Maybe this is a case of RTFM and I just haven't familiarized myself with Apache enough yet, but are these lines in a config file, or...
I did try reinstalling libapache2-mod-php5, and still no luck. I've done less with the .conf files because I'm not quite sure what I'm doing there. In fact, I can't even find httpd.conf -- has this...
I've seen this topic posted a number of places, but I though it might be worth posting my own thread since my situation seems different from ones others have posted (and none of the posted solutions...
I had a system crash earlier today, and suddenly my sound card isn't recognized. It's a Soundblaster XFi that's been working pretty perfectly for 4 years. I'm starting to think that probably the...
When using Skype, if I let it automatically adjust my volume, I get garbled/staticy output, but if I don't, I get no output. All other audio works perfectly (and the video works perfectly), so it...
I've established that the failure to auto-refresh isn't a time issue. It happens when you manually hit the "refresh weather" button. After that it won't auto refresh again until you reboot. This...
I'm looking to get a new wireless mouse, and wondered if anyone has suggestions for good ones that work well with Ubuntu. I've always used Logitech, but I'm on my second with a failed...
I haven't had a lot of great experiences with external displays in Ubuntu. From the little I know, it seems that the left-most window in Displays is the one treated as primary. Is your laptop...
I've established that this is an intermittent problem: for the first couple hours after I reboot, it auto-refreshes, but after that it gets stuck on "Updated Now". I've run apt-get update && apt-get...
