  1. Chrome freezes at random intervals

    I'm having a weird issue that seems to be specific to Chrome in Ubuntu (don't have this problem with Chrome on Windows or Firefox on Ubuntu) -- every 10 seconds or so it will freeze for about 10...
  2. [SOLVED] Re: Boot volume has only 886.8 kb disk space

    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...

    [ubuntu] drop down menus blank

    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...
  4. [SOLVED] Re: mouse sensitivity greater horizontally than vertically

    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.
  5. [SOLVED] mouse sensitivity greater horizontally than vertically

    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...

    [ubuntu] Re: boot options

    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...
  8. [ubuntu] Re: Netflix on Ubuntu -- "firefox is already running"

    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...
  9. [ubuntu] Re: Netflix on Ubuntu -- "firefox is already running"

    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...

    [ubuntu] boot options

    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,...
  13. [SOLVED] Re: Apache downloading PHP instead of running

    Thanks for all the helpful information and advice. I'm marking this as solved.
  14. [SOLVED] Re: Apache downloading PHP instead of running

    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.
  15. [SOLVED] Re: Apache downloading PHP instead of running

    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...
  16. [SOLVED] Re: Apache downloading PHP instead of running

    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...
  17. [SOLVED] Re: Apache downloading PHP instead of running

    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...
  18. [SOLVED] Re: Apache downloading PHP instead of running

    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...

    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...

    [ubuntu] Re: my-weather-indicator not refreshing

    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...
