Flabricorn is a username I've used since I read the "Ask A ninja: Ninja Handbook"
The page reads with an image of a morbidly obese unicorn, "A flabricorn basks in the sun daydreaming of fried sticks of butter", or something along those lines.
@GeorgeEdison Well the Screen is totaled, and I'm currently in a relationship with the person who gave it to me, and @aking1012 I'm not actually, in fact I will be away from my home for about a month as we near the end of the summer, so I'm going to be renting an apartment in Montreal Canada, within the French Quarter. A true SAFA (Super Awesome Fun Adventure)
@GeorgeEdison Well, I'll enjoy all I can being that cheezy tourist that photographs everything and while I'm away I can't fit any of my computer stuff into the car, (Driving up, living in Ohio, so not too far away... 2, 3 days at MOST.) because I only seem to own towers, and I'm just to lazy to really bring a G5 all the way up, IF I could fit it. So, Ubuntu-less for a month.
@Takkat Regarding your bounty here for an alternative to ppa-purge while bug 831768 prevents aptitude from resolving multarch package conflicts: Is there any reason ppa-purge -i ... won't work (the -i flag makes ppa-purge try to use apt-get instead of aptitude)?
I want to remove Ubuntu 12.04 and want to install Windows XP on my laptop; the problem is that whenever I try to install my Windows XP from my CD the setup says:
Setup did not find any hard disks drives installed in your computer.
Make sure any hard disk drives are powered on and properly con...
@aking1012 Do you mean XP may not support SATA (without added drivers), or that it might not support the particular SATA controller in the OP's machine (without added drivers)?
@aking1012 I'm not sure it's too important--the OP will likely take your meaning, and if it gets worked on elsewhere, the details can be fleshed out. But if you think it should be more specific, you could always replace your comment with a new one.
evidently they know it's missing a ton of models and don't particularly care...if you want to start a ppa for holding these things i'll google look around for it a bit
he wants a model. the only place we've found it is in a free trial of some windows software. posting links to models extracted from free trials, good or bad? -- ask meta -- write the question for me please
I would like to buy a new laptop in the near future on which I would like to install Ubuntu. The sad truth is that most of the laptops - including the one I'm looking at - come with an installer of Microsoft Windows for which I'll have payed.
There is an option to try and ask for a refund as exp...
askubuntu.com/questions/154460/…. This question is closed , but the duplicate link is not answer my question. The answer from @izx already hidden that's the best answer for me. Now, I can't see the answer.
depends i think...they have to find a way to tie it to ubuntu. like my bios boots some exotic os fine, but it won't boot ubuntu. some thread [link] indicates that if i flash the bios with this image from the manufacturer it will work. what steps can i take to do this?
or i'm having weird issues under heavy memory utilization, how can i check my ram and hd for faults
@AnwarShah I commented asking him to post an answer with the method he found that works. He probably will. If not, we can post a community-wiki answer and get 2 upvotes for it so the question no longer appears unanswered.
@msPeachy I think if you're trying to use Ubuntu to figure out a hardware problem, it's on topic. I do agree it has to have something to do with Ubuntu, but Ubuntu doesn't have to be what's causing the problem. For example, I think this question of mine is on-topic.
@aking1012 To appear answered, a question has to have at least one answer that is accepted or has 2 or more upvotes (or both).
@AnwarShah Sorry, I pinged you instead of @msPeachy by accident. I edited my chat message to correct it. If we're talking about the same message. Maybe we're not...
@aking1012 My monitor froze - i saw something on the screen lines and colors then it froze, mouse and keyboard does not respond, restart button did nothing either, now the computer just powers on, the fan is on, but nothing else.
I was watching a movie with totem, then it just froze but the audio was on, keeps on a loop, when I pressed the restart button, it restarted but nothing boots, the power indicator of the monitor turns to orange
@msPeachy unplug it and do like you're trying to boot it a couple times, then plug it back in and boot. see if that doesn't fix it at least temporarily
@klox Sorry for the confusion. No, you should not repost the same question. I was suggesting @izx repost his deleted answer in the question yours was closed as a duplicate of.
@aking1012 I've opened the case and saw that only the fan is on, i've tried to let it rest for the day, but the next day same issue, it powers on but nothing boots. I've restarted it several times already.
Bounty offered: How do I open .jar files without using terminal in manually installed java? http://askubuntu.com/questions/159612/how-do-i-open-jar-files-without-using-terminal-in-manually-installed-java?atw=1 #nautilus
i would suspect not. it should just give you some message about applying defaults or pressing f1 to enter bios in that case. you're down to probably power supply
well if something wiggled loose it can fix it, just hold on to the metal part of the case right before you touch ram/memory parts (poor-boy's ESD wrist-strap)
if you're not relatively comfortable doing it, don't do it. you can break some of the plastic parts...
if you don't know which parts to stay away from yes...it can be bad for you. it'ld be like saying guns/knives are or aren't dangerous. if you know to stay away from the pointy end it's not as dangerous
and this is why i should only have one coffeecup. i just refilled an empty one only to notice a full one on the other side of the workspace when i sat back down smh at myself
My Ubuntu 11.10 was having login Sound after I installed it. But, after few days, the sound is not playing!
However, the sound is heard when logged on using Guest account, the sound is being played!
I could not hear the sound on Administrator Account.
@AnwarShah i don't like using it though. makes me feel lazy. if i had to do the conversion more often i might remember it instead of typing it in the magic answer box
I think one of these should be duped to the other, but I'm not sure which is a better master question. After duping they should be merged. I can't really see how they're substantively different.
Does anyone have any good ideas as to native MySQL GUI clients for Ubuntu?
So far I've tried MySQL Workbench, which never seemed to work properly, phpMyAdmin which I found a bit slow, and Navicat which is a windows port and runs under wine, but none of these is perfect. In an ideal world, I'm lo...

when doing/proposing a merge of two questions like that i tend to vote in the direction towards the higher point value if they're substantially different so if someone has a search term and sorts by votes it's easier to find was already true in this case
@AnwarShah the thinking there is if a lower point question has more views, it's more found...not necessarily more helpful. the closed banner will get them to a possibly more helpful question
@Takkat Ah, I understand. I thought you meant that it would be difficult to test effectively. I didn't post it, because I haven't tested it myself. I'll try to do that ...but it will probably be tomorrow. If someone does the work of testing it and posts about it first, I would not have a problem with that.
Come on, @EliahKagan post it, we'll test it and in case it works your get +100. What ppa-purge version is in the repos? We mqay have to download a newer one for option -i...
@Takkat You're right--the manpage doesn't list it. If you run ppa-purge with no arguments, you get much more info than is in the manpage. A bug should be filed about that if one hasn't already. I'll try to look into that (and file the bug if appropriate) tomorrow too.
@Takkat OK sounds good I'll post it now, I'll just make clear I haven't tested it yet.
@Takkat I'm using the version from the repos, and this is on an Oneiric system. Let me check on Precise.

Here's my guesswork. Considering that the system does not remove normal badges and only tag based badges can be withdrawn, I narrowed my focus on the number of votes you got on tags. I see you have 96 score on 12.04 right now.
From this, I conclude that you got a 12.04 badge earlier and that ta...
Solved!!
It is the right answer. But only devs can verify it.
