How do I correctly encrypt the entire partition when installing Ubuntu 12.10? I ask because the new Ubuntu installer now shows two encryption options.
After choosing "Encrypt the new Ubuntu installation for security", the "Encrypt my home folder" option is still offered later on. Do I need to check both options to have full encryption, or just the first option?
What will happen in each case?
The "For Purchase" section in the USC is empty.
Why?
After startup, the mouse cursor keeps spinning...
This doesn't happen every time but at 50% of times. After a relog it works as espected.
This is very annoying. How can I fix this? Anyone else having this issue?
Please i don't want to login twice every time.
ps. Autologin is active
Why is ntfs-3g not included anymore in Ubuntu 11.10?
Now I can't write to my NTFS partition.
Just curiosity, why the change?
Is it really safe to choose the "Install Ubuntu alongside Windows" option from the Ubuntu installation program?
I never used that option, instead I used other tools such as partition magic or windows 7's disk tool to resize my partitions.
Since I'm going to install Ubuntu across a lot windows (XP, Vista and 7) machines. It would not be nice to damage those Windows partitions.
What is your experience? Can I use this feature without concerns?
When autologon is active, lightdm will start the Unity 3D session, not the 2D (or any other shell that I want to auto-login to).
Is there a way to start the shell I want automatically (autologon)?
Anyway, if autologon is disabled, the last used session is launched, and that's fine. I just want to choose which is default with autologon.
I installed Kubuntu 11.04 64bit today.
First let me expose some issues, this is not a rant, just some observations on Kubuntu 11.04 :)
Flash doesn't work. The package "flashplugin-installer" was installed by rekonq. But still no flash.
Additional Drivers (jockey-kde) doesn't show up automatically after first login.
I tried to delete a large file (19,2 GB), an error appeared: "Please empty the trash first, no more space available" or something like that, but you know what? My trash was empty! (Then I found in Dolphin the settings to increment the max size of the trash).
Amarok has no play/pause/forward/back buttons, only after changing settings to show those buttons on the top bar.
GTK applications like ubuntu software center, inkscape... are in english, but my default language is "german". Only gimp allows to install the "de" language pack.
The numblock turns off after each restart. In the KDE Control Center, the "remember last state" of numblock is set. But this is not working.
I had some crashes: Nepomuk, Policy-kit, plasma-workspace and gimp.
But now to the important stuff. I really need Gimp to work. After starting it, I get a crash:
giowck@giowck-desktop:~$ gimp
(gimp:1899): GLib-WARNING **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.28.6/./glib/goption.c:2132: ignoring no-arg, optional-arg or filename flags (8) on option of type 0 Speicherzugriffsfehler (in English: "Memory error")
What can I do to run Gimp?
Thanks
I'm using Lubuntu 11.04 and I installed Dropbox.
Every time I click on the tray icon, Dropbox opens Chrome to show my files.
How to change this behaviour? It would be nice to open my files from the tray with the regular file manager (PCManFM).
When I try to open a flash site or Java applet, Firefox tells me that there are some missing plugins available.
But once i click on that button of the top bar, Firefox doesn't find anything. Only manual install is then available.
I remember that in previous versions of Ubuntu, Firefox recognized automatically all plugins and installed them trough apt etc...
Is this a bug? Only me with this problem here? Because for new users this is an important feature!
ps. the Ubufox extension is still installed
