  1. Re: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS won't resume after suspend/won't hybernate/log off

    I think my issue may have been hardware related. I unplugged my laptop and let it completely drain the battery. After I plugged it back in and restarted it, the issue went away.
    Perhaps it may be...
  2. Re: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS won't resume after suspend/won't hybernate/log off

  5. [ubuntu] Re: virtualbox Gutsy guest, Mac host, Guest Additions don't work

  6. [ubuntu] Re: virtualbox Gutsy guest, Mac host, Guest Additions don't work

    Just to be specific, it's VirtualBox 1.6.2.

    I'm using Gutsy because I tried Hardy and it was a mess. Mouse was funny, couldn't get Guest Additions to install, and it just kept freezing on me.

    Try your local public school system. The one in my area has a surplus store where they sell old desks, calculators, etc. Mine sells laptops for under $100.

    Re: Court forces pirate to use windows

    Fair enough, I stand corrected. Yes, this poor schmuck got caught and part of his punishment is to obey the court's orders. My righteous indignation was misplaced. Thanks for explaining it to me.
