Tbh, this is the gaming machine that my partner built and I don't have a brand/model as components came from all over - however the important part for this thread is probably the graphics card: Palit...

Perfect, installing the recommended nVidia driver has done the trick! Thanks!

Thanks also for the tip about Windows turning fast boot back on when it updates - I had turned it off, but it's...

Ah, yes - the symptoms fit and this is my partner's gaming machine (I want to use it because my work vpn is overloaded so I am having trouble getting to our cluster) so it probably does need the...

Hi all,

I am trying to set up our Windows 10 desktop computer to dual boot Ubuntu 18.04 so that I can use it to work at home. The desktop has two M5 hard drives. One already had Windows 10...

I've tested this several times now. In the WPA2-AES mode I get disconnected after 5 mins. In WPA-auto the connection is maintained. It seems the reason I could connect to 2G but not 5G was because...

I seem to have fixed it. I changed the encryption mode from WPA2-PSK(AES) to WPA-auto. I can't find what WPA-auto actually means - it is separate from the the mixed mode which is listed as WPA/WPA2...

And this time, I re-connected to the 5G network temporarily and ran it again before it kicked me off...

Attached. I made this while connected to my 2G network as I am still having trouble maintaining a connection to the 5G network.

Hi,

Thanks for your advice. None of this has helped - sorry! I had already tried disabling 11n before posting this.

I noticed that when the connection drops, not only do I lose the SSID for my...

Hi,

Running Ubuntu 14.04.

When I boot, I connect to my usual wireless network automatically with no problems. After ~5mins my computer will disconnect and the SSID of my network will not show...

I am trying to use VLC 2.0.8 on my laptop running Ubuntu 13.04 as a DLNA client receiving video served from a QNAP NAS with Twonky 7.2.5-2.

No-one??

When I click on a link in Evince, it won't open in Chromium (my default browser). The error at the terminal is:

Well, we got it up and running again. I still don't know what caused the problem with grub not recognising the kernel upgrade, but it seems to be ok now.

Thanks all!

Cheers guys, that worked :-)

Now having another problem with it though. I upgraded the kernel and the grub entry for Linux didn't update.

This is quite easy to fix by running boot-repair...

Thanks, that makes sense.

Now I just have to wait for my friend to finish her coursework so I can give it a go! I'll let you know how it goes :-)

Thanks!

Just to clarify, do you mean backup, reformat and restore the EFI parition, or something else?

That makes sense. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about UEFI or Windows 8 (I didn't have these problems with my own UEFI Win7 dual-boot system) to sort it out. Hopefully someone else will be...

Just to add;

I also tried the solution described here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2112273

However the described file was not present anywhere...this is possibly the problem, but I...

Hey,

I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 to dual boot with Windows 8 on a friend's laptop.

I don't seem to have had any problems with partitioning the disc or getting Ubuntu on to it (as in, if...

Excellent, I'm glad my struggles will make it easier for other people to solve the same problem :) Thanks for your excellent piece of software, and for the support you provide along with it!

Dual boot is go!

Thanks to everyone who helped out, especially oldfred and Yann :o)

Turns out I had closed a bracket in the wrong place when I wrote my GRUB entry for Windows UEFI. I didn't...

Hi again,

I have now tried all the paths listed above, and tried each with root set to hd0 and hd1.

I am getting the "error: invalid filename `'." error with every combination.

My grub.cfg...

I think that should be


update-grub

I don't know enough to know if that will solve your primary problem, mind you!
