I have tried to set up a VPN with IPVanish, following their instructions for Ubuntu OpenVPN Setup. This calls for installing network-manager-openvpn, and I have confirmed with Synaptic that I have...

Well, sadly, I have had to resort to Photorec, which seems to have recovered my raw photos, without metadata. I have been able to restore more than half my photo collection from backup and will now...

After reading stuff about the Partition Table, it seems it can be edited if it becomes corrupted. Is it possible to add a partition to the table, using addresses below the ones that have shown up?...

The hard drive is 80G, though gparted only listed the top 40G.

I didn't use ctrl C at any point.

On the last attempt, I issued the first command string and immediately got the response indicated. Then I issued the second command string and immediately got the...

I had success installing gddrescue with the live USB and started with the first command line. It appeared to be running fine, so I left it running. After an hour or so I came...

Reviewing the terminal output, after all the Gets in response to: sudo apt-get update, there are two lines:

** (appstreamcli:5163): CRITICAL **: Error while moving old database out of the...

More complications, probably because of running from a live USB.

When I enter the first command string, the response is:

I have downloaded gddrescue and looked at the info page. Also have rerun testdisk, with slightly different...

Thank you for the advice. Cloning the drive to safely experiment seems the best next step, but I won't be able to get to that for the next few months, so I'll mark this thread 'solved' and perhaps...

The results I sent are after following the testdisk step-by-step up to "Quick Search". It seems to inicate it found 3 partitions, with Linux Swap Primary Executable. I thought the Linux partition...

Yes, that's pretty accurate: I thought I was reformatting the USB stick, but instead was trying to reformat the hard drive. The hard drive, as I recall, showed up as two major partitions, each about...

I have used Ubuntu for some time, but am acting like a new user.

My system has two 80 GB hard drives, one with the Ubuntu system and another partition of about 40 GB for storage. The other drive...

I posted a problem with Unity 3D, then another concerning the rendering issue, then thought the problems were resolved and marked the posts solved.

Turns out I still have the rendering problem,...
