Today I can't access Google using Chromium. This isn't the end of the world, as I also have Firefox installed and that plays with Google just fine. But it is annoying, as Chromium is the browser I use default; and as Google won't let me in, I can't get to Gmail.

This is what Google says:

Any ideas? Help me, Ubuntuforums, you're my only hope!

Cheers.

I was amazed at what you can do with a Chromebook. First if you are looking for a cheap way to get a nice light weight, long lasting battery that will run both Chrome OS and another Linux based OS and run them very fast the Chromebook will do all of this.
I took a $100 Chromebook and tu it into an all around machine that is now running Kubuntu with the KDE desktop and I am able to switch between the Chrome OS and KDE with a hotkey. Both run very fast for sharing the memory. I installed a 64 gig SD card so I have more than enough storage. I installed all the programs I use on my laptop and they all run great. Here is a screen shot running installs from the terminal.

I am able to edit graphics, do word processing surf the web, send emails, and do anything you can do on a $1000 laptop running an expensive OS.
This is going to be my travel with me unit from now on. The only thing this thing won't do is run Android apps, but I can do that on my phone.
I did try running unity desktop on it, and it runs okay, but for some reason I like the KDE desktop on this smaller screen. (11.6") And by the way, this is not a touch screen so i don't really need Unity. I find I have to tu off the touch screen on my laptop because it interferes with my typing. The focus changes once in awhile. I tune it off using the command:

I used Crouton to do the Linux install. Here is the Howto: https://www.linux.com/lea/tutorial...k-with-crouton

There are ways to install the full Ubuntu and remove Chrome OS but I like to use Chrome for all my Inteet stuff and use Ubuntu for all my on computer stuff I do. I think I have the best of both worlds.

Here is hoping others will pickup on the idea. It would be great to see a bunch of these being used in a coffee shop near you.
Have a great Ubuntu day.

I'm trying to create an install image of server 15.10 that I can deploy to a few dozen machines by running through the OEM install, customizing packages and settings, then running "oem-config-prepare".

After running oem-config-prepare and rebooting (leaving out capturing the image for deployment elsewhere), while running through the install steps again, it asks me to manually input the name server addresses. If I leave it blank, resolv.conf does not auto populate from DHCP - even though DHCP is still assigning the rest of eth0's IP settings.

In the OEM install everything was set for DHCP and DNS auto populated, and that's what I want to carry over into the deployment image. I'll provide whatever further info might be needed, but does anyone have an idea as to what's going on to cause DHCP to work but resolv.conf to not populate once I run the install again after OEM prep?

I would start looking for physical reasons why a laptop is overheating.

If we want to keep an eye on what the OS is doing, there are some applications we can install to monitor various sensors. I have installed Psensor & System Load Indicator (indicator-multiload). They both put an app indicator in the top panel which gives us easy access to the information being collected by those applications.

Psensor records temperatures & fan speeds. And it does that for the CPU, Motherboard, hard drives & video adapter. Psensor allows us to set temperature alarm trigger points.

System Load Indicator monitors CPU, Memory, disk read & write activity & swap usage.

Both of these applications can be installed from the software centre and will load at startup,

Regards.

Hi there,
right now i'm using ubuntu 16.04 with an additional KDE plasma5 dektop
on a Pansonic FZ-g1 toughpad with an exteal gechic hdmi touchscreen

so i think the solution with forcing x to display the second monitor to show is not the solution, cause it's neither "design integrated" in unity or plasma nor arandr and other graphical convenient tool recognize the second display.

i tried the following unit not

added following grub bootoption

Starting yesterday I get an

ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

any time I try to access Google anything from Chromium: gmail, maps, blog dash, even Google forum where I wanted to look for an answer to the problem. I don't have this problem with Firefox or Chrome (for which I got an update this moing via update manager). I compared settings > advanced > HTTPS/SSL > manage certificates in both Chrome and Chromium and they appear to be identical. Now what?

Hi
I write this post because I don't feel confortable with the default theme of my distro, but I know there are many infected themes. Do you now about a safe repository o website to download a nice lightweight theme? In fact, I just need one, similar to numix (I tried numix, but, in my distro doesn't work eficiently).

Because of BADUSB attack by firmware viruses (hardware embedded keylogger programs that are build in, straight from the factory, in any device, mobile or not, because there is lots of money in mission critical information from companies). This makes the OS run in a kind of "sandbox", and no keylogger can fool the CPU that it is a genuine keyboard with a human typing code.

Help please, not sure if I even posted in the correct area, this forum is huge!

Unrecognized VM option 'MetaspaceSize=128m'
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

Somewhat new to using Ubuntu as my only/ primary OS due to constant problems such as this.
Using TDameritrade's trading platform known as Think or Swim ( TOS)

I am getting the java errors I posted at the top of this message when I try and fire up the TOS trading platform On a new install of Ubuntu 15.04 ( I had this running for the past 6 months with some glitches but now that I tried to re-install on to new ubuntu install I am having no succes).

per thinkorswims install notes I am using Java 7 and the following instructions to install TOS https://mediaserver.thinkorswim.com/...r/install.html

Linux Instructions:

Install thinkDesktop (10 MB)

Thinkorswim needs Java7 to run. To install java7 on the machine: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:webupd8team/java sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer To install Thinkorswim: Click "Install thinkdesktop" to download the thinkorswim installer to a directory on your PC. After downloading open a shell and CD to the directory where you downloaded the installer. At the prompt type: sh ./thinkorswim_installer.sh Note: For clients who intend to run the software on Linux, Solaris or other Unix variants, manual update of the software may be required on these systems and we have no official support for configuring these operating systems.

Thanks in advance for any help you can pass my way. hopefully prior to me pushing computer onto floor
