Hi guys,
I'm new to ubuntu,I just installed MATE 16.04.I have issues with my wireless adapters.
Firstly I tried to get my NETGEAR WNA1000M to work and tried a lot of solutions posted throughout most of the forums,
It did not work and then I tried my friend's adapter,MEDIATEK 802.11n which is supposed to be supported but is also not working.
The coections always display Realtek or Mediatek based on the adapter but looks like it is disabled,I haveb een trying for a whole day to get a fix.
I'm afraid I messed up the etc folder with the tons of solutions I tried out,The information for the NETGEAR adapter is
RTL8188C_8192C_USB_linux_v4.0.2_9000.20130911 I.
Thanks in advance,

Hey, I just installed Ubuntu 16.04 on my dad's old Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop, as a way of getting it up and ruing again. I myself use Ubuntu on my own machine, but am not all that technically skilled.

So my dad is 100% new to Ubuntu, has never used any Linux distro before. When I installed 16.04, the machine was able to coect to the inteet via etheet, and under the DRIVERS section in settings, we were able to locate the proprietary drivers needed to coect to wifi. Well, after installing the driver and rebooting his machine, we were still not able to access the web via wifi - but now, even the etheet coection wasn't working!

I'm hoping someone would be able to help me out here. My dad was really psyched to be able to get his old computer up and ruing again (with a much better OS than the Windows Vista that had previously been installed on the HDD), but we've run into this snag. I'm fairly new to Ubuntu as well so unfortunately I wasn't much help.

Any help or advice would be hugely appreciated!

I need help finding the right program to use for sketching electronic schematics and doing analog circuit simulations. So far I've mostly used LTSpice through WINE, although recently I've been trying a web-based program called EasyEDA. I'm still more comfortable with LTSpice. I also tried (but did not like) Oregano, and gschem (gEDA Schematic. I use Fritzing for PCB making, but it doesn't have circuit simulation.
I honestly don't want anything with a big leaing curve, but something intuitive relatively "plug-and-play". I'll share my experience with these programs so far. I don't want to have to lea too much that doesn't have to do with the electronic circuit itself.

LTSpice is alright but it has stupidly weird keyboard shortcuts, and it has no obvious way to scroll around the schematic. What I like that has kept me using it is that doing simulations on it is rather painless. It's more difficult than it should be to find documentation on stuff as simple as "How do I enter the capacitance value in microfarads?".

EasyEDA is a little less simple to get a simulation ruing. The first time I tried the simulation it failed because some capacitor which appeared to be coected wasn't actually coected. Unfortunately, the simulation didn't appear as accurate as LTSpice. It also has a strange time limit for transient analysis. However, the AC analysis (frequency response graph) was more plug-and-play than I expected.
I like it that it gives default values to components right when they're placed (so it won't tell me "No value of resistor 4" and I won't struggle to figure out how to set it. I also like it that when a component is coected, it will move the wire if I drag the component.
I would prefer to have a program installed locally on my computer.

Oregano was awfully buggy, and not so intuitive to navigate. I had to remake a schematic because the file of the old one got bugged-up. It doesn't even have documentation. Forget it!

Gschem was actually the first that I ever tried, but I have occasionally looked back at it. But it's not a particularly smooth GUI, and setting the value of a resistor is not slightly straight-forward. I couldn't manage to ever get the circuit simulation to work.

Here are my requirements for the program that I want;

• Easy to do a simulation with minimal set-up after making the circuit. Not too likely to say "simulation failed" for some stupid bug-related reason.
• Doesn't have stupid bugs to get in the way of the process and make the simulation fail, or give me headaches.
• Keyboard shortcuts that aren't terribly weird. Ctrl+Z should be undo by default. It would be nice to also have shortcuts for drawing wires, rotating/inverting parts, and placing basic parts such as resistors. Middle-click or right-click to scroll around.
• A GUI that isn't painful to navigate.
• Setting basic values of parts (such as resistance of a resistor, capacitance of a capacitor, maybe even voltage drop of a diode) should be straightforward.
• Parts that default to realistic behaviour, rather than ideal behaviour. One exception to this is voltage source, which I prefer ideal behaviour. I don't mind if it has both (labeled) ideal & realistic varieties of parts such as op-amps.
• It should have documentation.

I like making bass/guitar effects circuits (pedals) as a hobby. This is much of what I'm interested in doing. I like to see exactly what a circuit would do to a waveform.

Thank you to anyone willing to help me.

I have installed Ubuntu 16.04 (Unity 7) on my Intel laptop and most everything works, but the computer runs a little hot.

I set my power controls to Suspend when the lid is closed (whether or not it is plugged in), but it never does. I find the fan ruing and the system ruing warm.

I can get Suspend working when I use the menu (cog in the right of the top panel).

Anybody know how I can get it to Suspend when I close the lid?

I'm not sure what information would be helpful so if you let me know I'll run the command and post the output.

Thanks.

I have been waiting to use Firefox 47.0.1 in an Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS VM, but the Software Updater keeps assuring me that the 47.0 I have is up to date.

I know that 47.0.1 was released on 06/28/2016. How long does it usually take for new updates to make it into Software Updater?

I'm aware I an download and install the latest directly from Mozilla, but I wonder what will happen to future updates if I do that.

Thanks

Currently have Xubuntu 16.04 Thunar set up so that middle-click opens folders in a new Thunar window. However, middle-clicking on the Back, Forward, or Up toolbar buttons does nothing; and middle-clicking the items in the Go menu behaves exactly as if I left-clicked them.

How to get middle-clicking the Back/Forward/Up toolbar buttons, and items in the Go menu, to open the destination folder in a new Thunar window, same as middle-clicking folders?

I'm currently a doing a "dry run" install of Ubuntu in VirtualBox to test it out before I install it on my main computer.

Here is my partition setup. This mirrors the setup I have on my current Debian PC:

Setup: https://i.imgur.com/n9rok0I.png

For those who don't want to look at the picture, it's:

/dev/sda1 - 500MB ext4 /boot
/dev/sda5 - Encrypted ext4 /

/dev/sdb1 - Encrypted ext4 /home

Boot loader on sda1.

Here is the problem I get: https://i.imgur.com/zJwLCFy.png

Anyone have an idea as to why this is happening? Thanks!

I would like to suggest the following tweak for future versions of Unity
Unity is my favorite interface. There just one thing that aoys me. The close/minimize/maximize buttons of a full-screen window is tucked behind the launcher. This is an eye-sore and it places the close button directly next to the launcher, causing windows to frequently be unintentionally closed.

Please run the launcher bar all the way to the top (looks cleaner) and separate the close button to the right-side of the bar. This isolates the close button from everything else so it won't be hit on accident. For full-screen windows, put the close button to the right of the system toolbar. To access the toolbar, I can click anywhere on the toolbar and go to the item of interest. To close the window, I can just jam the pointer to the coer. This arrangement prevents any accidental proximity clicks from haveing negative consequences and I believe it looks much better.

Please consider this suggestion.

I have a 3 TB hard drive and installed Ubuntu as a second operating system on my computer. I made the Ubuntu partition the final 300 GB on the drive. When I restarted, I got an error "attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'" and neither operating system will boot. Googling, I leaed this can happen if grub is installed after the first 2 TB on a disk. (Side note- it's crazy to me that the Ubuntu installer doesn't check the disk size and give a waing and/or automatically perform a workaround). Then I found these instructions on how to Install Ubuntu on a large disk (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/In...buntuOnBigDisk). First I tried boot-repair, checking the 'out of disk' option, but it still wouldn't boot. The final option is to create a boot partition at the start of the hard drive. BUT the problem is that my Windows partition is at the start of the hard drive. I read online that I should not use gparted to move the windows partition (shifting it from the left, rather than resizing from the right). Trouble is, I do not have a Windows boot CD (just got a computer with an image) and so I caot boot into Windows and use the Windows partition tool. What can I do???

I am looking at my ntp server and not sure how some of these entries got in there. Two questions - what does the *,+,- mean next to those entries

and how doe I get rid of them - no need for them. and they are not listed in /etc/ntp.conf

I do use DHCP but they are not listed on my DHCP server
