Really?

Isn't it declared pretty old and useless today?

Okay, I have to add that the BASIC I used was MS QuickBASIC 4.5, which is about as old as DOS 6.0... And feels like that.

Hi guys, I'm trying to upgrade from 14.10 to 15.04 using LiveUSB. But the installer does not offer any option to upgrade.

Only the typical "Install alongside Windows", "Erase and Install" and "Something else" options are given.

user136984

@reversiblean: Why don't you just install by using the in-built upgrader in Ubuntu?

user136984

@ByteCommander: You should attend some dancing lessons, maybe then you can do the rain dance and attract the rain! ;D :P

I have the iso. That's why.

user136984

But there is no point even if you have the iso to battle with the iso if you can simply just upgrade inside Ubuntu, why, do you have a reason other than you have the iso why you don't want to use the standard method?

user136984

Because if you want to keep your data you probably don't do it through an ISO, you do it through the built-in upgrader.

Q: LinuxMint "File System" shows no space when many GB exist

I have a VM running LinuxMint 17.1. I just resized the virtual disk, then used a live CD to resize the system partitions. I now have 18GB+ free.

so this question was posted in Turkish..

translate: Ben resmi sayfasından Chrome'u indirilmiştir. Indirmeden yapıldı keresinde Yüklemeyi başlatmak için tıkladım çift. Bu Ubuntu'nun SoftWare Merkezi'ne götürdü, ve ben tıkladım "Install". Bunu tıklandığında kez, portakal bar başından öbek her zaman görünür, google chrome ama sonra sadece şişme havuz sebepsiz durur.

(from Turkish) I downloaded the official page of Chrome. Was done I clicked to start the installation once download double. This Ubuntu SoftWare Center took, and I clicked on "install". I clicked this time, from the beginning of the heap of orange bar is always visible, google chrome, but then just stops for no reason inflatable pool.

anyone make sense of that?
