mahdiar's questions

I had a simple password for years! Yesterday I changed my password to a stronger one, but I forgot it. So I used recovery mode and changed my password. After that, I couldn't login to my account. It returned to the login page. So I reinstalled Ubuntu. ( It's in another hard drive so my home folder is safe and unchanged. ) But login loop was there. So I reset .ICEauthority and I can login to my account now. But the problem is my home folder is encrypted and now I can't see my files. ( I know my last login password and I know my passphrase, too, and I have used them before to decrypt the data. ) Now : When I click on Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop nothing happens.

I remember that first I changed my password graphically and when I forget it I use passwd to change it . So should I use that forgotten password ?

I know 9 characters of password . Maybe 4 or 5 first characters are forgotten .

I'm using kubutu 14.10 plasma 5 . Its plasma version is 5.1 but I'd like to upgrade to 5.4 and newer versions. How can I do that ? Should I wait for updates or there is any ppa to do that ?

Thanks

Sorry for my simple question but it is important . I have many ideas for ubuntu . How can I give them all to ubuntu team . Is there Any webpage for that Or just an email ?

I don't know why but after a while I can't add any working ppa any more! When I try this:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/tor-browser

the output is:

Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:webupd8team/tor-browser'.
Please check that the PPA name or format is correct.

I have ubuntu 13.10 64bit.

What is the easiest way to create an android html app ? In windows I can create it by using dreamweaver and phonegap . How about ubuntu 13.10 64bit ? Thanks

In Ubuntu 13.04 I used to use the ppa:upubuntu-com/tor64 PPA to install the 64-bit Tor Browser Bundle. However, in Ubuntu 13.10 it doesn't work anymore.

How do I install the Tor Browser Bundle in Ubuntu?

After the boot loader completes the screen goes to the following image !

My VGA : xfx geforce 9600 gso 1.5g

What should I do ?

I reinstalled 11.10 , 11.04 and 12.04 but I have my problem yet ! Another point is that I install ubuntu file system in another partition . Maybe Some Wrong config file is still in my home folder .

In my opinion it's not about driver problem because I have 11.10 with driver without any problem and I think this problem occurs when I try ubuntu 10.04 live CD !

I try ubuntu 12.04 final release too ! and the same problem occurred !

I installed ubuntu 11.10 and after a while it get damaged and I install another one in another partition . After I boot to the new one I delete the old one ( I format its partition ) . When I restart I couldn't boot . What is the solution ?

I was using Canon MX420 printer properly until I upgrade my ubuntu to 11.10 . After that I can add it to my printers but I can't print or scan any page ! What should I do now ?

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 dassault-systemes-draftsight:i386 : Depends: sendmail:i386 but it is not installable
                                     PreDepends: libdirectfb-extra:i386 (>= 1.2.7-2) but it is not going to be installed
                                     PreDepends: libxcb-render-util0:i386 (>= 0.3.6-1) but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
