I've been using Lucky Backup, well, forever and have had no issues with it. It's based on Rsync if I'm not mistaken. I, however, have not tried to back-up to DVDR, as my DVD recorder hasn't worked,...
Well after an afternoon with at least a dozen tabs open in Chrome and several reboots and the odd curse word, I can now say that my external NTFS drive now allows media to show up in Plex. This last...
Thanks, I just started to get this error....and now I don't.
I found that (as far as my own experience) HP printers were the easiest to set up, as the drivers worked just fine with the least amount of screwing around. It was even easy to set up in Android....
If it's any help, I have a 2010 Dell 1012 Netbook with an Atom processor, 2 GB ram and have been running regular 14.04 since, well 2014, and it runs just fine. It dual boots with the XP that came...
Thanks for that, works great.
I don't know how long you have had 16.04 on your system, but I know for awhile after updating from 14.04 (not a clean install), I noticed more HD activity. After having it now for over a month, the...
Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but OMG Ubuntu has an article that may help:

Nope, not what you're...
This is the first time I've successfully upgraded (dirty flashed - sorry:)) Ubuntu since I started my Hardy days. There was always problems which ultimately forced me to do a clean install. However,...
Speaking only for myself, I found that those lap-top mode tools either did nothing over and above the default configuration, or caused other issues, so I removed them.
Wasn't longhorn Vista?
I'm not sure what you mean by "freeze", but I changed my wallpaper back in 14.04 and still use it in 16.04. It doesn't really freeze, but it does delay by a couple seconds while booting to the...
That pretty well describes me. I have absolutely no imagination nor ambition so programming isn't likely to happen.
I like to tinker (break) either my computers or my android devices, so that...
I was given a install CD of Hardy by my BIL who came to visit from out west. That was December 2008 and soon after, I installed Intrepid. Used it until Jaunty came out and then moved to it. Karmic...
10.04 - Lucid Lynx
12.04 Precise Pangolin
I have had this issue for years and, frankly, I got tired of trying to get it to work. What I do is right click on the magnet link and copy it, then open it with whatever torrent program I use at the...
Thanks, I never knew that existed. I just tried it in ubuntu 12.04 and it works. Cool, two clipboards. Not sure I'll use it much, but I'll try to remember it's there.
Rats, you beat me to it.):P
Certainly not as a slight on the OP, but after 4 years working the phones for Road Runner Business Class, if I had a dollar for everytime I had the caller go through that routine.........(sigh)
^^^ Ditto. Even though on this laptop I have a separate "home", by doing regular backups using lucky or grsync it makes it rather redundant as a complete backed up "home" is on another partition or...
I have the original WDTV Live since 2009, and was never able to get it to work properly to see my USB NTSF drive connected to my Dell laptop running ubuntu 9.04 up to 10.04. However, I could...
Not sure what you mean when you say "take control" of the camera. But if all you want is to remove or access the pictures, then the camera should allow it to be seen as an external storage device. At...
I'm kind of in the same boat as you. I have an old Athlon XP 1800+ computer with a GForce 5200 video card that causes ubuntu to choke. I had been running lucid on it since 10.04 came out with no...
