I installed Ubuntu 16.04.1 about a week ago on a partition from my Windows 10 OS. Since then, I have been able to successfully use Grub to choose either windows or Ubuntu to boot. Just now, however, I restarted and the Grub menu didn't appear. The bios menu also did not appear. It then booted straight into Ubuntu. This happened after I tried to hard restart with the power button and the prompt appeared suggesting that I save files first. My files were all saved, but I exited out and saved them all anyways, and then shut down just from the actual software option. Settings seem to have changed as well. For example, my desktop is now stuck at 1024x768, while before I was at 1920x1080. The only ...

I'm often ruing a simultaneous VNC window alongside a regular native X session. From time to time, and with no rhyme or reason that I can detect, my X window session hangs, producing a black screen. The keyboard isn't frozen (I can see the caps-lock go on), but hitting Alt-F4 or Cntl-Alt-F4 doesn't bring me to a terminal.I'm talking about weeks or months...it's not common!The odd thing is that my VNC session still is fine, and I can access everything fine. But to get back to a working X session, I've had to always close everything out and hard power down the computer. Then reboot.Is there a way to just type something via the command line that will keep the VNC session going and just refresh ...

Hi,I have a new mainboard Asus B150M-C with an Intel i3 6100 CPU.It runs very well under Kubuntu Xenial with vdpau disabled and va enabledThe only problem is that there is very little video RAM assigned.Here's the lspci output: Code: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Sky Lake Integrated Graphics (rev 06) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) DeviceName: Onboard IGD Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

Hi All,since there are media providers blocking data center IPs am no longer able to enjoy some services. I was a little bit upset, but then this idea hit me:I am still an owner of a VPS which I used as a VPN-Server/Gateway using PPTP. The idea is to set up Raspberry Pi which will be placed in a friends house and act like a gateway. (my friend has unfortunately a dynamic IP and does not agree to use any DynDNS services) I was thinking about creating a virtual adapter which will coect to my VPN-Server with a static IP on this Interface. The VPN Server will route the traffic from other clients through the Raspberry Pi at my friends house.Has anyone tried this yet? Would you recommend another s...

So I consider myself if not an uber computer geek at least a "power user", and tried to keep my dual boot setup of Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04 for as long as I could. I need Windows currently because of some Windows-only software I need for my classes (hopefully won't need these ever again after I graduate). I was really fed up with Windows 10 (don't like all the telemetry crap, don't use the Windows app store, Cortana, forced updates, confusing settings options, interface in general). My last straw was the other night I had some school documents open and unsaved, and Windows decided to just restart on its own to apply some updates.So I backed everything up, completely wiped Windows 10, did ...

I agree with the recommendation to have separate home partitions for each of the installed systems. (You can also have /home as directories inside the root directories.)If you want to share personal files (documents, music, multimedia files) I suggest that you have a separate data partition. When you have Windows alongside linux, it is a good idea to use the file system NTFS in the data partition to make it available for both linux and Windows. Otherwise you should use a linux file system (for example ext4).(Linux can also read and write the Windows [system] partition, but it is risky, it is better to have a separate data partition.)

Hello.Am a Linux novice. Performed an on-line update from 14.04 to 16.04 on my laptop which is an Asus Ultrabook. It has an 1T SSD and is dual-boot with Windows 8.1 via grub. Have done the same upgrade on my Intel i7 desktop without issue. It however DOES NOT have an SSD.During boot, there are errors reported that I caot decipher and, I believe, has to do with Ubuntu recognizing my SSD (sd9?). It is a Corsair SSD. During boot it performs some sort of disk diag that runs for 1m 50s? Sometimes it won't boot at all and I have to do the three-finger-salute (control-alt-delete).Have a copy of my dmsg file and have attached it... (after I looked up where to find it)Again. It's an Asus Ultrabook S5...

Recently, I caught a virus on an old HTPC ruing windows 7. So, I decided to expand my horizons and try Ubuntu 16.04 LTS as I've started to lea some coding recently and thought it could be interesting. So far, it works great for Youtube and most other videos. However, you try to watch Hulu/HBOGo, and it's a no go. It just sits there at a black screen. I tried various solutions, like these:1.) https://www.maketecheasier.com/watch-hbo-now-ubuntu/ - gives a nice write-up and how to in order to get Firefox working using pipeline and a Flash version for windows (I think).2) http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2015/09/h...ubuntu-1404-up - talks about updating HAL and some other digital rights stuff (DRM), v...

Installed Ubuntu last night and have spent the last 10 hours today trying to get my old adapter working, alas I have given up. Does anybody know of a adapter that will just install and work without having to fiddle with anything? This seems to be the closest I have found, but it only mentions 15.10.My last attempt at solving my previous adapter can be found here, if you feel like helping that way.Thanks.

Tonight I got a popup on my machines that says: New important security and hardware support update.WARNING: Security updates for your current Hardware Enablement Stack ended on 2016–08–04:* https://wiki.ubuntu.com/1404_HWE_EOL I thought 14.04 was supported for five years, and it looks like this is trying to force me to upgrade to 16.04 or else not get keel security update. I DO NOT wish to upgrade to 16.04 at this time for a couple of reasons, first I have seen too many reports of people having problems after an upgrade, but more important I am ruing an older version of Kodi and I do NOT want to be forced to upgrade that because it has some bugs I don't want to deal with.I really don't under...

thanks for the quick reply - using disks, it displays all the partitions but displays the ubuntu partition as unallocated free space and is uneditable.ruing fdisk shows this though: Code: Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sda1 63 80324 80262 39.2M de Dell Utility /dev/sda2 * 81920 37269503 37187584 17.8G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda3 37269504 450111487 412841984 196.9G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda4 450113534 1465147391 1015033858 484G 5 Extended /dev/sda5 450113536 1434427391 984313856 469.4G 83 Linux /dev/sda6 1434429440 1452673580 18244141 8.7G 83 Linux /dev/sda7 1452675072...

Hello there, I work in a lab with 13 PCs, 12 of them ruing Lubuntu and the last one ruing Ubuntu. Recently I dicided to update these systems so I did update 2 of them (the Ubuntu and one of the Lubuntu, I've used apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade). Since then the Lubuntu and the Ubuntu that I have updated are freezing randomly (the PC freezes and I have to restart it using the power button of the case), I can't find any particular reason that would lead these PCs to freeze, they have 4GBs of RAM (Lubuntu) and 8GBs of RAM (Ubuntu) and run all the time with more than 2,5GB free (the Lubuntu run most of times with over than 80% of CPU utilization, though). These two PCs with problems run ...
