Thanks for the reminder about code tags#-o It has been so long since I last used this forum.

I thought about starting a new thread before posting here but there is no point now. For some reason...

Hi MAFoElffen,

I don't know if you can help me. I am a mere simpleton when it comes to computer software. However I can at least use the terminal to run commands when instructed in a very basic...

OK. Not my intention to crash someone else's thread, I just thought the thread was relevant to my problem, and looking for answers here. Will post a new thread anyway.

I have a problem with duplicate sources when running apt-get update after using Ubuntuzilla to update my UbuntuGnome 14.04 repositories for the latest Firefox (ver. 80).

Can anyone here help me...

Just noticed and read this thread. I am surprised you needed reset the login. With my experience of Ubuntu, having installed various Desktop Environments on top of the original one, after choosing a...

I initially had a similar problem as the one reported here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2304606&highlight=serious+problem+update+virtualbox with the same message: [VT-x is disabled in...

I am sticking with 14.04 LTS because it is a perfectly good system that has worked on other computers with few problems/issues.

So now for the second issue. Every time I boot up my computer,...

Just a note on ubuntu 12.04. It is still popular with many people. It appears that some people prefer the 12.04 Desktop Environment, maybe because they got used to it and liked it, and didn't want to...

Btw, I prefer the LTS versions. I am afraid of more bugs, because I have more than enough already.

Almost, but I gave up on the 2+ hours download/upgrade process! If you are using 15.04, perhaps you could confirm whether it has the same issue or not? It would be nice to know.

Yes, all the reports in your link suggest something similar or identical with my experience.

I noticed one post in the link: Bug #1282542 Comment #10. It is about a possible cause due to the...

I will list all the issues with separate posts just to keep things clean here. All are concerned with the same computer: a Dell Optiplex 755 desktop system running a recently installed Ubuntu Gnome...

Hi deadflowr (nice name but makes me sad :( ... )

My deepest apologies for not getting back to you like I promised. Too many current computer issues made me forget. Many thanks for your helpful...

deadflowr thank you (I have a very slow connection and I did not see your post until I had posted mine). I'll let you know how I get on.

OK thanks. Do you have the codes for resetting the user account as administrator?

Just finished reinstalling Ubuntu 12.04 on my HP laptop. I only have one 'first user' account, and for the purpose of better security I changed my account from 'administrator' to 'standard'. When I...

Thanks cariboo907. I checked the apt archives, there are some recently installed packages there. I use bleachbit quite often, so I think I probably removed most of the packages I installed a while...

Hi. Thanks QIII.

Umm... Thanks for the reply fugu2. The command didn't work ... :confused:

Hi. i am posting this here because the title fits and I don't want to duplicate it with a new thread. I don't intend to hijack this thread, but if anyone thinks my post should not be here, pls tell...

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I forgot to mention that I lost access to Ubuntu the day after my first post on this thread. After selecting Ubuntu on the grub menu, it appears to be is booting...

Re: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2192967



Thank you for your assistance. I booted into Debian and followed your instructions for reinstalling the grub. I haven't succeeded yet as...

Just a note to say that GNOME started to appear as it should a couple of weeks ago, without any attempts by me to solve the problem. I am sorry I have no idea what cause it to stop showing and then...

I own an HP Pavilion Sleekbook 14 with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS installed. A few weeks ago I installed the latest Debian (Wheezy?) as a dual boot system alongside Ubuntu. Both work fine, but I have decided...

I have searched for a similar post or thread to this but haven't found anything.

I have just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a new HP Pavilion Sleekbook 14-b039TU and everything appears to be OK....

spc_hicks09 thank you very much. Where would all us sleekbook ubuntu users be without you? Back using windows no doubt. You are flipping marvellous.
