I recently installed this version of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC using the instructions at this page: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-adobe-acrobat-reader-dc-wine-on-ubuntu-20-04-focal-fossa-linux
It's practically useless to me because some basic features cause the thing to crash. How do I UNINSTALL it correctly?
About one out of five times, my Dell Latitude 3540 is unable to start from suspend mode, which I invoke manually when I'm done using the computer. It will accept my password, and then just sits there. If I wait a minute or two, it shuts down and lets me try again. Or, it freezes up completely, including mouse and touchpad and I have to do a cold reboot by holding down the power button. This happens whether there were apps running or not (typically Firefox, maybe Signal). This morning, it asked to send an error report, so I saved the accompanying screen shots and I have not hit "Send" yet, in case it would help to expand some of the entries to share more info. This is version 20.04 LTS with all updates installed except for one which popped up today and is still waiting. Ubuntu was installed on a clean disk - not a dual boot situation.
I just installed a printer utility which enables me to check ink levels. The deb file came directly from Epson's download page, and Ubuntu handled the installation smoothly. But I can't find the utility! It's not crucial because I can still print. Where does stuff like this vanish to? It's not in the "Show Applications" list. When I ran Windows, the utility would pop up when ink was low, but it could also be called from a desktop icon.
The install file is: epson-printer-utility_1.1.1-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb
I'm new at this, so please stick with amateur terms as much as possible! My hard disk contains a botched Windows 10 installation and Ubuntu 20.04. This was a dual boot system until I tried to do a clean Win10 install and that wrecked everything. Dual boot no longer works. I'm currently running from a USB stick. I'm at the point where I just want to use the entire HD for Ubuntu.
When I try to install Ubuntu, it gets as far as "Detecting file systems". It does its thing for a while and then stops. The only way to terminate the installation is a hard reboot. I'm guessing that it doesn't know how to handle the mess on the HD. What command would I use to wipe and reformat the HD so the Ubuntu installer see what appears to be a new HD? It seems like I need a blunt instrument to do this.
Running 20.04.2 LTS, using a Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000. The thumb button (left edge of mouse) functions as "forward" and I want to change it to "back". Any tips?
I have an external HDD with one NTFS partition. I need to shrink that partition and add one which is formatted as ext4 for use with Dropbox. The format utility built into Ubuntu seems like it can format the entire drive, but not part of a drive. Can anyone recommend an app which will do what I need?
After installing and running Dropbox (Ubuntu 18.04), I tried to move the Dropbox directory from its default location in the home directory, but a message said that Dropbox must have an ext4 partition in order to work. So, that's how I arrived at the question above.
Newbie here. I'm about to dump Windows 10 and install Ubuntu, but there's just one Windows app I find indispensable: EZ CD Extractor, for converting between various audio file formats. It will also convert a few video formats to mp3. I suspect it will run with Virtual Box or VMware, but I need to have a Linux app ready in case things don't work out. Any suggestions? I would prefer a GUI for this purpose.
