I installed Unity 24.04 on a Latitude 6420 a few days ago, and have been working at building up the rest of the system. I've had a bit of trouble getting the trackpad to work smoothly, so I install...

I've done a lot of searching, but I cannot find a full list of applets for the most recent version of Unity. I understand that their development is separate from that of Unity itself. I'm...

Thanks, Yellow Pasque! That's what I needed to know.

Hi, I recently rebuilt an older machine with an ASUS Prime B450M-A II AMD AM4 motherboard, 64G of RAM, 1 TB NVME M.2 drive, and a Ryzen 5 5600GT processor. I'm not a gamer; I'm running Ubuntu...

Thanks for responding, I'll give that a try.

I'm running Ubuntu Studio 22.04, but this problem goes back to at least the previous version. I frequently reformat USB drives to either make a bootable drive, or store music. Whenever I do, the...

I ran ddrescue to no avail, and referred my friend to a local data recovery service.

I was asked by a non technical friend to try and resurrect a corrupt USB drive. The story is that it's full of family photos; it was a backup for a laptop that died, and was used for a photo display...

I'm using Xubuntu on an old Dell Latitude E6410. I had weak reception with the internal Broadcom chip, and so I installed the Broadcom proprietary driver via the Driver Manager app. Immediately, my...

I've just updated to 18.04, and installed the Messaging and System-Monitor extensions, but the latter overlaps with the system date and time display.
Is there a way to move the extension icons...

Found it. One has to right-click on the dock, and then go to Configure/Advanced Mode/Appearance/Views. One can then select 3D. But you have to choose the Advanced Mode to find it.

Hi, I just installed Ubuntu Studio 16.04? (can't tell; sysinfo crashes when I click on "system", and Ampere only gives the kernel number 4.13.0-36). In any case, the menu is missing the categories...

I uninstalled and then reinstalled Rhythmbox, and then the first link worked. The second one did not, but worked last week on another machine I have running Ghost BSD/MATE. On that machine, it now...

Rhythmbox includes several HBR1 streams, and all are ogg but they don't play. mp3 streams play quite nicely, so this looks to me like a plug in problem, and not a sound stack or config problem. Has...

The Gnome "kill" extension doesn't work. Xmarks doesn't work. Wayland problem?

mc4man: that worked, you're two for two. Thanks again so very much!

mc4man: thanks so much, I looked for system monitor in software, but for whatever reason, failed to find it. But it's there, and it works.

I installed 17.10 yesterday, and opened extensions.gnome.org to tweak the desktop. I installed Gnome Shell Integration, but got an error message that stated that native host detector was not running....
