  1. Re: Malware bringing up websites on mouse clicks

    I installed Ghostery, though that seems to be about website tracking, HTTP Switchboard, and NoScript Lite. Problem seems to be gone. I suspect NoScript is doing its thing: not letting any unapproved...
  2. Malware bringing up websites on mouse clicks

    I was surfing with Opera (latest version & Ubuntu 14.04LTS) and suddenly new tabs started opening at random times. I investigated further and discovered it happens on mouse clicks, left or right,...

    Re: Parental controls for 14.04

    That seems to have fixed it, thanks. One weird thing, though; when she first logs on in the morning, it immediately pops up with the time remaining from the day before. Yesterday, it said she had 2...

    No pop-up warnings

    First, thanks so much for reviving Timekpr!

    My daughter isn't getting any popup warnings that her time is running out. She got quite upset when she lost about an hour of work on a paint project....
  8. Screen resolution screwed up, can't fix (Gnome)

    xrandr and the system control panel say it's 1920x1080, but it's "zoomed" into the upper left quadrant. Running xrandr --scale 2.0 x 2.0 sets the screen correctly, but the cursor, menus, etc. are...

    So once again, the Ubuntu forums come to the rescue. I'm trying to recall in the ~5 years I've been coming here (under a couple of different names), if I've ever gotten useful help. None comes to...
  10. Re: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: Firefox can't open profiles on server

    Yes, I'm running only one instance of FF at a time. Firefox v. 30.0 works fine under Windows, even the Windows VM I'm running under Ubuntu 14.04, but not under Ubuntu itself. Clearly a problem with...
  11. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: Firefox can't open profiles on server

    I've always kept my Firefox profiles on my Network Attached Storage devices (currently a Netgear Ultra 4). I just got a new computer with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS pre-installed. Firefox opens the "default"...
  12. Re: 14.04 LTS: How do I start the archive-manager?

    Never mind; I figured it out myself. file-roller is in /usr/bin. Thanks for the help.
  13. 14.04 LTS: How do I start the archive-manager?

    When I click on a zip, rar, tarball, etc., they do not open in the archive manager (I assume it's still file roller). And right-click does not give it as an option, only something called...

    Yes, under Software Sources | Updates | "Automatically check for updates" the options are "Daily, Every two days, Weekly, Every two weeks, and Never." I have mine set to Never (which works), because...

    How do I stop daily software updates?

    I think I've had this problem in every version of Ubuntu I've run (starting 5 years ago with 9.04). I set the Software Updates to "Weekly" or "Every 2 weeks" and it still wants to update every single...
