I agree, my lack of experience working with the terminal command would make this a big hassle for everyone who attempts to help. I have an external USB HD enclosure that I back up my files to and...

I though there was a way to turn threads off or mark them as answered on here but I'm not finding that option???

I just looked at the EFI partition in the "discs" utility GUI and it gives me the option to mount the EFI. As I mentioned, I'm already over my head on terminal commands so I am going to try two...

stan@stan-MS-7A37:~$ sudo mount -tvfat /dev/sda1 /boot/efi

I use the "DISK" utility to mount my MP3 player. I believe that the partition hilited in orange that says FAT32 is the EFI partition so couldn't I mount it using the Disk utility? I took a screen...

This is the error message as noted in my original post.

I appreciate the suggestions but I don't think you're understanding me. I am attempting an online upgrade as prompted by the software updated and not trying to install from a thumb drive or disc. I...

It's showing UEFI.

I purchased my desktop from Zareason approximately two years ago and it is not a dual boot system and is only running 18.04. What is UEFI mode and how do I determine that? This is a relatively new...

I have been a Ubuntu user for ten years but any time it becomes apparent that an issue will require anything beyond the basic terminal commands to resolve I am lost and require help. This time I got...

I love Linux and have been using it exclusively since 2010 when XP support was discontinued for home users. I had experimented with it on an old computer that was gathering dust so I knew what I was...

I'm calling this thread solved as I found that the real problem was user unfamiliarity with webcams. Thanks for the feedback.

Update, I just went to this site (onlinemictest.com) and it detected my mic. The site has a flat line and when I talked into the mic I saw the waveform line moving and the site verified that my mic...

Unfortunately it appears that I can't post the photo without a URL and I don't have any photo hosting space at this time. Basically the screen shot shows the webcam mic and when I speak into it the...

I tried the alsamixer but got lost when the directions in the thread with screen shot examples I was following looked different than I was seeing on my screen. I have the Gnome Alsa Mixer installed...

I'm not familiar with Omegle but I presume it's similar as there are many sites that detect camera and mic after allowing access. I give permission but it only finds the camera and doesn't detect...

I'm sure that's the issue, that the webcam mike isn't being directed to the 2i2, however, I'm having the same issue with a Dell laptop. The camera records sound when I do a video and I can hear it...

I first tried it around 2006 on an old computer and when XP support ended I decided to dive in head first. I was first exposed to computers at work in the mid 80's and by 1989 worked with them as an...

I recently purchased a Logitech C270, installed Cheese and it basically worked right out of the box except for what appears to be a sound problem. The sound works when I record something but I got...

Just a quick follow up. I was able to get the Epson working. As close as I can tell there was a low ink cartridge but it wasn't a low ink message on the printer's LCD screen. I'm not really even...

Thanks for the suggestions. It appears that HP is the way to go for trouble free setup. Since this Epson printer has worked fine and simply quit working apparently due to changes in the 18.04...

Something changed in Ubuntu 18.04 as my scanner still works but my Epson XP-300 no longer works. By way of background I have been using Linux exclusively since around 2010 and this printer worked...

I have decided that since I got my print sharing working and home networking is not critical to anything we're doing here to call it a done deal. If my wife wants to view family photos and videos on...

No, I decided when I had trouble with Studio and Mate to go back to the basics. I'm running Ubuntu now with the standard desktop. Studio was actually kind of an overkill because I am only using...
