I'm confused about the software center suddenly telling me I need Ubuntu Pro to update stuff applications on my computer. I may have some applications that aren't from the standard Ubuntu...

I think it was the dock, although not sure why. I tried putting the drive in a hard drive enclosure, and it instantly worked.

I bought a new SSD for installation of Ubuntu 22.04. I took the old SSD with Ubuntu 20.04 out of the computer. I can usually put an old HDD in a hard drive dock "toaster" and browse the contents, but...

So, I use left handed mouse, and although (ctrl + alt + up) and (ctrl + alt + down) are not terrible for switching workspaces, I want to try to change that to the pause button + mouse wheel...

Yes! A quick log out and back in, and now everything works! I had closed the terminal and started a new one, thinking that was all I needed to do for the group to be applied, but the log out/in made...

In the past I've set up my development webserver by adding myself to the www-data group:


sudo usermod -a -G www-data gottier
sudo chown -R gottier:www-data /var/www
find /var/www -type d...

I know that support for 14.04 is facing EOL. I have been thinking about switching to 18.04 before then. I was just trying to point out that there's no urgent need to upgrade. I'll probably do my...

I'm typing to you from Ubuntu 14.04. Still works fine. No reason to upgrade yet.

I'm still on 16.04, so this might not apply for long, but the fact that I can't make a window's style shortcut simply by copy and paste of executable to the desktop has always annoyed me. The process...

Yeah, like how to hijack domains and get away with it.

Sorry, since I use FF for development I had not tried Chrome. Truthfully, I'm just super annoyed with this, because I still find myself clicking links to dev, and I see the error daily. It's just a...

There's no sane way around this. They've decided that any domain that ends in "dev", even if it's not a dot dev (.dev) domain, must have a valid security certificate that's not self signed. You can't...

Nope. I just went through the whole process, and it does not work. Same error regarding self signed certs.

Let's Encrypt might be the "normal answer", but try applying that to a domain like "https://dev". As far as I know, you can't do it because of the domain validation that Let's Encrypt requires. So...

For years I have used a setup on my development machines where http://dev is an index that links me up to all of the projects I'm working on, and common stuff like phpinfo.

I'm sure you're aware,...

It's been a while since I posted this, and the good news is that 7.2.1 is available and working nicely in Ubuntu 18.04. I downloaded the daily build, and have been successful in installing and using...

Today I had a computer die. This computer was built in 2009, and was used daily since then. It had Ubuntu as the operating system. I quickly swapped out the motherboard, CPU, and RAM and I was able...

I installed Ubuntu 17.10 in a VM last night. I needed to test out some code in PHP 7.2, and decided to use 17.10 because I wanted to check out the new Gnome desktop.

I was able to accomplish my...

I may be in my own little world, but for what I do (professional website development) there is no better choice of desktop operating system than Linux, and I prefer Ubuntu primarily due to my using...

When Ubuntu 16.04 was released, it seemed that many people wanted PHP 7.0 to be the version that was installed by default. PHP 7.2 was released today, and it got me wondering if it will be in Ubuntu...

I had seen that article, but it's rather vague. Seems impossible that those are the only differences, and if they are, that's pretty sad. The article links to a repo where Unity is supposedly forked,...

Doesn't have to be GNOME necessarily, but wondering if there is a comprehensive list of the differences between Debian and Ubuntu. I know Ubuntu is some sort of derivative of Debian, but what are the...

One of my favorite extensions is FirePHP. It works with Firebug, and Firebug is no more. So, in order to still use FirePHP, I run a second version of Firefox when I need it. I use version 48. I also...

I have strange lines around any window, even new windows, if I use suspend. I attached a picture of it. Help please.

Unfortunately, jounalctl was not set up as persistent, so I couldn't go back far enough to see the relevant logs. I set it up as persistent for next time. Thanks for the advice. I'll know where to...
