    Re: Clementine Crashes adding/playing files

    I just found out that Clementine is available for Windows so I just installed it on my Windows machine. I actually prefer it to my older Windows player, WinAmp.

    Sorry for the late reply but I never got a notice of your comment, in fact this is the first notice I have gotten from Ubuntu forums in a while. I like both Clementine and Gnome. Really don't...

    I would suggest that you have a dual boot computer, with Windows and Linux (whichever flavor you might prefer). Free software, even in the Windows environment that can do top quality editing, is...

    Thanks yancek, it was the F10 tapping! According to the Bios info, the computer is in UEFI mode.

    Now, how to install Ubuntu without messing up my Win7 install.

    It is an HP Envy 700PC Series, model # 700-327c.

    Of course when I insert the DVD for 14.04, it does not boot from it at all, which is what I expect. However, it did do something I have not seen...

    I know that I did not choose encryption--I am not that crazy. The last thing I need is to try to remember some encryption key. As to the LVM, I must say that I just don't remember! I set...

    [ubuntu] Re: Strange notice not seen before

    When I run that command I get the following warning:

    dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove linux-image-3.13.0-27 which isn't installed


    Any ideas?

    The synaptic approach did work.

    That worked!!! I selected the image with the lowest number, linux-image-3.13.0-24.47, had complete removal. That freed up the necessary space.

    The synaptic trick is a good one, but I have been...

    No that does not look familiar. basically I told it to use the whole disk for my 14.04 installation. I did not see anything about encryption when I did this. Further, I was never asked for a security...

  17. [ubuntu] Re: NVIDIA Geforce Driver installation in Ubuntu 14.04

    Good point. My NVidia card came with my rather older (5-6 yr old HP Pavilion computer, a Geforce 9800) so that may well be the reason the non-proprietary driver works with it, they have had more time...

    I really did wonder what the proprietary drivers offered over the ones that came with the install. I do remember, ever...

    [ubuntu] Re: Which version?

    Unless Ubuntu is your "be all and end all", stick with the recent LTS version, i.e., 14.04. If you have "geek tendencies" and want to be a regular contributor here with ever increasing problems, then...

  25. [SOLVED] Re: Help. Grub 2 from 14.04 replaced with grub 1.99 from 12.04

    I could not agree more! I did not realize that just about every kernel update is retained since I began running 12.04. How do I clean them out? Where are they stored?

    Strangely, I got into 14.04...
