I haven't tried it, but this post says you may be able to specify

subiquity --bootloader=none

I'm a "no bootloader" type myself, I've used "ubiquity -b" and, with the Calamares installer, just...

I noticed this. Is this a typo? Do you really mean a 2TB USB stick? If so, how much did you pay? Or did you actually mean some sort of USB attached SSD, or some different capacity?

I just upgraded the Intel microcode package (along with a load of other updates) to this version:
intel-microcode (3.20180108.0~ubuntu16.04.2) xenial-security

I wasn't expecting this to have any...

It's more than the bare OS. You get TSO, JES2, all dataset types (of that era) supported including VSAM**, 3270 terminal support (via BTAM/TCAM) and you get the Assembler and the MVT COBOL compiler...

This doesn't seem to be just a package - it appears to be a whole system - boot from the iso and it wipes your hard drive and installs a specialist version of Linux with the voicemail system etc....

Deleted.

I got this working a few years back, got MVS 3.8 up and running, it wasn't too difficult. Don't think there's any real risk of messing up your install, it's just another application as far as...

Closing thread as it's not going anywhere.

This applies to all ppas, but people still use them. I understand the issues.



No. I'm quite happy to use other methods when appropriate. I've installed from official repos, ppas, debs,...

10.4 is not just any old obsolete release. It's the last Gnome 2 LTS, and a lot of people would have stuck with it if possible (e.g. if it had 5 years support like the current LTS desktop versions)....

I realize I can get a tarball to install manually. As I stated, I was particularly hoping for a ppa, which would then form part of the normal update process without me having to update manually every...

10.4/Lucid Desktop version is now out of support. I know I should upgrade but I'm still weighing the options etc. and in the mean time I want to at least keep Firefox and Flash player up to date...

I realize that you've sorted this out now, but for future reference if you want to clear down a whole disk and start again, Gparted does have a 'new partition table' option, which will effectively...

No, that's not true.

See this link: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplatform/whitepapers/roadmap.html

And note this bit: "Adobe will continue to provide security updates to non-Pepper...

One thing I used to do but don't anymore is compress data. My reasoning is that nearly all 'large' files are already efficiently compressed internally by specialist methods relating to the data they...

Actually I wasn't referring to this (presumably a gimp option?), I was referring to the Linux swap partition, which acts as a (slow) extension to your RAM and is not application specific.

Here are...

Looks as if some of the psd files require more memory to convert than you have. Is it actually the largest files that fail in this way? How much RAM have you got? How much swap space?
If this is the...

Highly likely!

Yes, you should be able to fix this by booting from a 'live' CD or USB stick, then check/correct the file you edited.

I would say that if the BIOS isn't recognizing the HD, then it can't possibly be anything to do with "certain motherboards not running Linux distros"; the motherboard doesn't even know you've got...

I would recommend using the search facility in the 'Synaptic' gui package manager to search for automake, this might be a package naming issue.

If synaptic isn't installed (not sure if it was...

A VM is a program that runs under Ubuntu that 'pretends' to be a whole PC, so you can install another operating system such as Windows 'inside' it and Windows thinks it's running by itself on its own...

If you are going to resize a Windows partition, you should use Windows, otherwise for creating, resizing, deleting Linux partitions use a LiveCD/USB and Gparted as advised above.

Looks like a typo, should be 'dstat', not 'dmstat'; also, sda7 is a partition, not an actual disk, and you need '-D' not '-d'.

Try

dstat -D sda


I'd check this myself but I'm not at my...

I think this might be difficult, particularly to get all three dimensions of a solid object (might need two cams with overlapping field); also you would probably need some sort of calibration scale...
