Some keyboards have a LED elsewhere on the keyboard. So there are three possibilities: on the CapsLock key, elsewhere on the keyboard, or not there at all.

I sometimes wonder whether keyboard...

For me, the question comes up when I'm buying a new laptop, and all I have to go on is the online information. It's rarely mentioned in the description, not even in the detailed specs. And of...

My Acer doesn't have a hardware CapsLock LED; had I known that, I wouldn't have bought it. If you're getting a laptop by mail-order, you'll discover that in most cases the online information doesn't...

I'm coming here because I haven't been able to get an answer anywhere else, and I'm a Kubuntu user. I'm looking for a laptop with a real, hardware-implemented CapsLock ndicator LED. There are of...

I'm trying to kill usb autosuspend with no success so far. I've also raised this issue in AskUbuntu. The answer I get is to set /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb*/power/autosuspend to "-1", and to make the...

Which programs in Ubuntu Studio provide the functionality of the Music Downloader provided by Yamaha?

Even as a nonexpert, xorg seemed to me to be something that should have been there. The fact that bootup died after displaying the Kubuntu banner was proof positive that something was wrong. So...

Well, after poking around the net for a while I actually managed to solve the problem:

1. I booted into the recovery system (a Grub choice),

2. After the gears whirred for a while, I got to a...

I spent quite a few hours getting a Kubuntu system set up, and when I powered down the computer it was still working correctly. But now when I power it up again, I get the Kubuntu banner -- and then...

I'm moving to a new laptop, and I want to duplicate current desktop environment on the new machine. I particularly want to duplicate the multiple desktops and their wallpapers I tried copying my...

I wonder whether there are any similar Toshibas without that impossible screw. An example of screwed-up design. I wonder what they were thinking when they designed that screw. It certainly...

I looked up the Dell 5420, and it's a pretty old machine with limited memory and, I'd expect, sluggish performance. That fits with my observation that manufacturers have been removing the CapsLock...

Which current laptops have a CapsLock light? It used to be that they all did, but most manufacturers seem to have decided that it's dispensable. Software indicators just don't do the job. It's...

I had been having problems with my Internet connection frequently dropping out and then recovering automatically. I think I've found the cause: having both a wired and a wireless connection active...

Thanks to The Fu for lots of useful information. The context here is apparent misbehavior by a program (Dropbox) I didn't write. I naturally expected that "Open Dropbox Folder" would do just that. ...

I'm running Kubuntu 14.04 and also Dropbox. I encountered what seemed to be a problem with Dropbox but really is a problem with how Unbuntu handles file associations.

The precipitating event was...

Is virtualbox.org actually Oracle's website for VirtualBox? In other words, is there any difference between what you can get by going to virtualbox.org versus what you can get by going to oracle.com?

Does the website virtualbox.org contain all the Oracle files relating to VirtualBox, and nothing else?

At one time the version of VirtualBox in the repositories was missing some functionality that was available in the Oracle version. Is that still the case?

I've manage to install VirtualBox 5.1.2 under Kubuntu 14.04, but not without a major disruption. I retrieved it from the VirtualBox website and followed the defaults to use QApt Package Installer to...

I still can't get USB to work, even though I think I've done all the necessary things:

1. I installed V 5.1.12 r112440 (Qt5.6.1) from the VirtualBox website.

2. I installed the Extension Pack...

This is a bit old, I know, but I did solve the problem by sudo cp -a /home/pwa/.config /root. It turns out that initially, /root is totally empty. That surprised me.

I found this on AskUbuntu and it worked for me:



To enable Bluetooth audio device discovery in Pulse Audio we need to make sure we had loaded the bluetooth packages for pulseaudio...

I can't find anything with the literal name "Sound Settings" within System Settings". Under "Audio Playback Device Preference for the Music Category", the headphones appear but they are greyed out. ...

I'm running Kubuntu 14.04 and I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones. I've succeeded in pairing the phones to the computer --both the phones and System Settings confirm that. How do I actually...
