HiI have to buy a replacement laptop and have been looking at the Ubuntu Certified Hardware page.My priorities are:I don't mind if Ubuntu is pre-installed but whether it is or not I want to be able to load different linux OS from scratch, on separate partitions, so I can compare them. I have some experience in installing dual boot systems.I want SSD drive. Minimum 128GB. I could install myself but prefer not to.14” screenBudget £500I have narrowed my search down toDell Latitude 3470 cost £390: Dell wireless card, Intel graphics, 128 SSDLenovo Thinkpad 13 cost £530: Intel wireless and graphics. (I see some Lenovo models have a locked SSD)Both are on the certified hardware website as pre-insta...

I read on this forum to try KeyTouch in order to program a multimedia key/button but that resulted in nothing - that program seems to be useless on ubuntu 16.04.So how do I do it? KeyTouch seems to recognize the key: I selected my keyboard then got into the interface and pressed "New" and then pressed the key I wanted and programmed it and then savd it - though no idea what file name extension that needs to be (KeyTouch documentations and manuals everywhere on the inteet give zilch information about what the nature of the file is and how that is related to when and how it is activated). Thus after all that the end result is: nothing happens.In Microsoft I used SharpKeys and that did all the ...

Hi,i have on my laptop Kubuntu since v14.04 and upgrade it to v16.04.Under ubuntu 14.04 and later 15.10 i had the standard saving energy tool for laptops and my computer was very quite and sometimes fan run high do to workload (which was normal).Since i upgrade it to 16.04, my CPU or Graphic fan runs at 100% (it seems at least based on the noise level) even if i do nothing and that laptop is on login screen.my CPU range is about 68C to 83-84C degrees max.For an unknown reason FAN runs at max and i dislike it especially when i do not require anything from it.Some people told me that room where i was was hot or that it is normal in summer.... the problem is that even in a room at 20C degrees i...

Hi Community:I upgraded my wife's laptop from 14.04 to 16.04 today.She has an exteal 24" monitor, and I set it up with the "Displays" on "System Settings."I was successful in getting 16.04 to detect the 24" monitor.However, the mouse cursor wonders from the 24" monitor to the laptop monitor. How do I restrict the cursor to stay on the 24" monitor? Thanks,Old Jimma from the Old Country Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I am having this issue on a System76 Ratel, new this spring, ruing a 6th generation i5-6500 3.2GHz CPU, a Samsung 850 SSD, and the optional NVIDIA GeForce GT730 video subsystem. I updated to 16.04 about a month after it came out, with no issues.Recently while doing updates, I get the following message: Code: W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_dmc_ver1.bin for module i915_bpo This shows up on the terminal window that reflects your update progress. Each time it occurs, a lo-o-o-ong wait ensues, after which the update finally seems to complete. It runs normally otherwise. If I run Software Updater again, it just says that software is up to date - no error.This hasn't actuall...

Hello,I recently installed ubuntu 16.04 and decided to fully encrypt my SSD hard drive.I did so by creating one small separate /boot partition and another one encrypted with luks split in 4 logical volumes : swap /root and /home.It works well except that hibeation randomly crashes. I goggled the issue several times, tried to several hibeation tools (uswusp, tuxonice), nothing improves.I tested the hibeation process with another partition, a real one not just a logical volume. I still get some crashes if I encrypt the partition, tried several ciphers,but it works well if I keep it unencrypted, I can hibeate ten times one after the other, which never happened otherwise.There is no clear debug ...

I've been dying to try Ubuntu for years now, so glad I did. I will NEVER go back to Microsoft!!!! I'm a retired desktop support tech who spent the majority of his career battling Microsoft products. Thank God those days are over. An inteet friend tried to persuade me years ago to give Ubuntu a shot. Don't know why I waited so long...old programming, I guess.Anyway, I should mention that I pulled this screen from an unknown and quite beat up Compaq laptop, so it's very likely the screen itself is no good. It works fine when I first boot up the laptop, but as the laptop warms up it will blink off for about 5 seconds, then come right back, then continue like this about 10 or so more times until...

Hi there,I'm trying to intall Lubuntu on an old laptop to use as a NAS / web server / for general messing about.... The laptop is ancient, has 128mb ram and a 800mhz processor. It's ruing Win XP.I have tried various installation methods without success:- Unetbootin install to HDD (same partition as Windows - there is no other option in unetbootin) - The installation competes but no grub bootloader appears and the Laptop just boots into Windows.- USB stick intallation has the following issues: - The laptop does not seem to boot my Lubuntu usb stick (which boots on all other boxes).- I think the BIOS settings are correct, but the laptop keyboard doesn't work, so I can't change the BIOS setting...

Good evening forum, I just purchased the Asus 2 in 1 13.3 Touchscreen Intel Core i3 6gb Memory 500GB Hard Drive-Black Hairline Laptop and I want to dual boot Windows 10 with Ubuntu. I have done this for years but this is my first (I Think you call it) UEFI and I have seen videos of installations and they all are confusing. I have Ubuntu on a flashdrive already and I used Unetbootin.Question 1. Is using Unetbootin ok or do I have to use something else?Question 2. Do I have to go and resize the partition in windows by freeing up space first or can I do it the old Fashioned way by just booting up from the flashdrive in Ubuntu and just choose Install alongside Windows and size it from there?Ques...

Hi,My laptop was heating up a bit too much (temperature above 90’s in normal load, and sometimes shutting down after hitting 100C), so I finally decided to open up my Dell XPS 15 (L502X) and replace the thermal paste. I have few questions:When I opened it up, apart from the thermal paste on the cpu (i7-2630QM) and gpu (Nvidia GT-540 2gb), there were several white pads, and one grey pad. The grey pad was above the motherboard HM67 chip. This is the first time I ever saw a heat sink with thermal pad needed to cool down the motherboard. Or am I missing something? And what are all these small white pads? They seem to be covering different chips on the motherboard. Does anyone know the width of t...

Hey there,a few hours ago my Ubuntu has stopped letting me use my laptop keyboard (Lenovo Yoga 13). I suspended it earlier and when I wanted to resume my work I got no input from the keyboard. Touchpad and Trackpoint still worked.After forcing it to reboot I recognized a very strange behavior:Before the initial ramdisk is loaded everything works fine. I can use it in the Bios, I can fiddle around in Grub, but the moment I continue booting the keyboard shuts down (FnLock- and microphone-LED go dark)I did not do a system update before and the system was working fine for months before the incident. Only thing I changed was fs.inotify.max_user_watches, but I doubt that this is the issue. I am us...
