    Re: Secure file remove low speed issue

    You say you are using the Gutmann method. That can mean several things. My initial guess is that your 'problem' is the number of overwrites you are trying to do. At one time the recommendation was...
  3. [lubuntu] Re: trouble installin 16.04 trying to preseve the /home partition

    What DuckHook advised is absolutely correct. I will be a bit stronger. Trying to 'update' across that many versions is an exercise in frustration and futility which you are discovering. At this...

    [SOLVED] Re: Bluefish

    First, make sure your two installations (14.04 and 16.04 I think you said) are not sharing anything bluefish uses. Second, when you uninstalled, how did you do it? Manually, apt-get remove or apt-get...

    Re: I'm in trouble for using linux at school?

    How long have you waited for the boot to finish? An unaltered installation of Ubuntu will go to a blank screen with a flashing cursor and remain there while it boots. This takes however long it...
  13. [SOLVED] Re: Tired of Reinstalling Ubuntu - How Backup the whole system

    I have never tried it before but I suppose most any backup program would work. Personally I use rsnapshot. Whether that would give you the same LVM errors or not I don't know. However, my guess is...

    To determine your kernel version, use the command 'uname -r'. Then run the compile command they say. What directory the source file is in should't matter. It may be necessary to compile as root, i.e....

    [lubuntu] Re: black screen when booting computer

    I can't speak for Lubuntu, but for xubuntu the blank screen after Grub is normal until just before the xubuntu/login screens. It can actually seem to last a long time. If that is the problem the...

  19. Re: Accidentally deleted Windows 8 and Ubuntu wouldn't install

    Don't feel bad. There are two kinds of people: those who will, and those who have. You have moved from the first to the second category. Congratulations. You probably won't make those mistakes again....

    What do you mean, start the JDK? The JDK is not a single program that you run. You create files that are then processed through a compiler or you use Netbeans or Eclipse or some other IDE to create a...
