I am having short in disk space in my ubuntu /dev/sda6 and i have 11.08 GB of free space unallocated in the sense.I have followed different article about the repartition but they are not working here when i try to move/resize sda6 the there will not be any free space to extend but it reduce if we...
Managing large hard disk farms by allowing disks to be added and replaced without downtimes and services disruption, in combination with hot swapping. On small systems (like a desktop at home), instead of having to estimate at installation time how big a partition might need to be in the future, LVM allows file systems to be easily resized later as needed. Performing consistent backups by taking snapshots of the logical volumes. Creating single logical volumes of multiple physical volumes or entire hard disks (somewhat similar to RAID 0, but…
@sammyg if there are 2 persons on a windows disc doing stuff I bet you can not resize the disc ;-) thing is: in linux we -assume- there will be more than 1 even when there probably is not.
I never gave Linux a good chance to learn it, I would normally just use it to fix my Win/DOS system when it goes south. But I thought I would give this new Ubuntu release 14.04 a chance. But I will need Windows to fall back on.
It's unfortunate, but some things just don't work, or don't work as well on Linux as they do on Windows. One example is Netflix. I love Netflix, but it is based on M$ Silverlight.
Not that it can't work well on Linux. It's just that the big companies choose not to support it.
so that went out the door quickly :=) the 1st Ubuntu though worked perfectly for me and that was when I made the switch. Now I mainly use Ubuntu (even at work :) )
my 70 year mom wants to start with internet so she gets to use Ubuntu 14. (never seen windows so I do not think it would be wise to show her 8.1). Gonna be fun though: all the kids from my stephdad side use windows and they alltold her to get windows 8)
it was a "that would be great" vs "that would be superfluous" argument since you ultimately have to have a significant portion in the browser, and there's no way to prevent someone from grabbing the chromium framebuffer. i have no idea how it will eventually resolve.
when sony releases a rootkit into the wild and thinks it's no big deal, you know drm isn't going away any time soon... yes, that was like a decade ago. if i did that, i would get arrested. a company does it, and it's all "our bad it made your optical drive un-usable by accident and cost you a $100 repair fee"
I just installed lubuntu 14.04, all is nearly functionnal and i really love that OS. Though, the following issue bothers me :
The hardware switch for wireless network is not working on this version. It used to be functionnal on lubuntu 12.04. It basically does nothing, while it should hardware-...
if a new driver tells the firmware to disregard the hardware toggle, it reduces bug reports. which is a win for me. just make it soft-block and disallow hard blocking is a step forward.
the reason I drink cola is cuz of 2 reasons: 1 have 1 bad eye (the nerves behind the eye never developed) and I was once pushed against a concrete edge of a playground resulting in a severe double sided concussion)
after that I go so many migraines the doc adviced to start drinking coffee
I did not like coffee so changed that to coca cola :=D
yeah, if i don't get the obligatory two pots or more a day i get mind-blowing headaches. it's not just caffeine either. i tried substituting in caffeine pills to see if that was it, but i still got them. so it's something else in the coffee my body needs.
So @Rinzwind - you think there's a call for something that monitors ~/Download, moves to ~/Music, parses all mp3s, and auto-tags using echonest and acoustid?
I only processed one flag Mac mini (mid 2011) dual boot ubuntu 14.04 bluetooth problem, and yes it was helpful, since it is about keyboard and mouse. The others are still active.
Wish me luck. in 30 minutes my mom (nearing 70) and stepdad (nearing 80) are going on the internet for the 1st time. Oh and if the intenet crashes do not blame me!
I took time, from the moment I press power button (00:00:00), until I see the login screen (login), and then stopped when network was ready and all programs ready (boot total).
@Mitch If it was helpful, an action should be taken (aka: somebody from the operators should edit the tags again). If not, the status of the flag should be declined (not helpful as it is)

@lazyPower No issues on the misping, but you're misguided, Ask Ubuntu and the Ask Ubuntu chat room are both support mediums. you can give support here.
When I try to play Flash videos in full screen, sometimes - but not all the time, which makes this bug so aggravating! - the video gets very, VERY choppy, and UI controls do not really respond at all. Sound works fine. Disabling Compiz does nothing to alleviate the problem (switching to Ubuntu Cl...
I'm using Firefox 28.0 with Adobe flash plugin 11.2.
"MacOS and Linux flash plugins from Adobe are lacking GPU Acceleration, which is present in the Windows versions. Thus, decoding higher quality video tends to be choppy at times, even on high performance machines."
Is "gnash" the way to go? Does it support GPU acceleration?
@sammyg it's not related to linux performance. it's related to lynda.com not filling your buffer fast enough. it's a bandwidth problem, not a rendering problem.
if you're going to use flash. just use the restricted package that is real adobe flash. it's like being a meat eater or not. there are no half-measures with flash.
@Braiam Com'n most of the new users aren't aware of the system, different places have different tagging guidelines -- some prefer all the questions to have distro version tag, some prefer to append [SOLVED] once the question is solved. That is the reason why we get so many questions with only version tags. You need to give new users some room and edit the tags yourself..
I know I also made a couple of those mistakes myself (like appending SOLVED when the question was answered).. :)
I might not have stripped out the version tag, but again. I don't talk about tagging. It's bad for my blood pressure if I do. Either way is fine with me.

1) Plug in headphones during boot. 2) Notice there is no sound. 3) Reboot 4) Now there are no sound devices listed. 5) Faff around, sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio* && sudo apt-get install pulseaudio, 6) No settings in system settings... can't even change desktop background :/
@Braiam nope. i did something somewhere totally outside of a gui to tell pulse to forget everything. i totally wish i could remember. if it helps i was troubleshooting doom3 breaking my soundsystem because i killed pulse.
@Braiam yes. I can see my devices in the alsamixer, and sound is now working, although I can't use the ubuntu sound controls as they are not there in the indicator panel.
laptop volume control isn't working either.
ears damaged from speaker-test (wearing headphones)
@sammyg stop trying to find ways to install other flash engines. just install vanilla flash. it works. if you have problems, it's the server or your isp not your box.
unless you're running a raspi or something... then flash might just not be fast enough... but then the answer is get bigger gear or don't depend on flash.
@blade19899 I can heartily recommend my laptop. It's a Samsung np900x4c, had it a couple of years, perfect Ubuntu experience, and quite a nice bit of kit too.
