I have a laptop with Ubuntu 18.04, with a large collection of music, and would like to listen to it on an iPhone, preferable connected of WiFi. I remember being able to do that with Clementine and an Android phone, and used to absolutely love that feature, however: (1) I now use an iPhone (because that was what was available as hand-me-downs) and (2) Clementine seems to not have had a release since 2016.
Any idea how I could set that up?
When trying to enable Livepatch with the "Software & Updates" GUI on a derivative of Ubuntu Budgie 18.04, I get the following error message:
Sorry, there's a problem in setting up Canonical Livepatch
I tried to do it manually by using the steps on https://auth.livepatch.canonical.com/ and running the commands, but I get the following:
2018/12/13 11:11:21 error executing enable: This machine ID is already enabled with
a different key or is non-unique.
Either "sudo canonical-livepatch disable" on the other machine, or regenerate
a unique /etc/machine-id on this machine with "sudo rm /etc/machine-id /var/lib/dbus/machine-id && sudo systemd-machine-id-setup"
: {"error": "Conflicting machine-id"}
I am sure I have never set Livepatch up on this laptop. What could the issue be here?
What could be the risks of generating a new machine ID like suggested in the error message? i.e. what other elements of my system could be using the current machine ID?
I have a 2TB external hard drive that will primarily be used for backing up important documents and storing big files from an Ubuntu-based distros.
I have had issues before with NTFS as a broken file system would often require to use Windows to fix it, which definitely rules it out for me.
Is there a file system that would be suited for this use, while being both interoperable (i.e. usable on OSX, Windows and GNU/Linux) and (ideally) an open standard?
The question is in the title. I have seen a few articles and answers talking about configuring .xprofile, file that is supposed to be in my home directory. I have selected "show hidden files" but .xprofile is nowhere to find. Any idea?
I reported this as a bug already (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1272621) but as I think this might be useful to other users, I thought I should ask for a fix here.
I use Ubuntu 13.10 64bits on my Asus F201E, and when I plug in my Acer x233h via VGA as an external monitor, the maximal resolution available in "System settings > Screen Display" is 1024×768 (as well as 800×600), but the maximal resolution of the screen is supposed to be 1920×1080.
I have no proprietary drivers available in "System Setting > Software & Updates > Additional drivers", and I installed the latest version of the Intel Linux Graphics Drivers from https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads, thinking it would help (version 1.0.3), to no avail.
This seems it should not be the default behaviour. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this external monitor ends up having a maximal resolution that is inferior to my tiny laptop... :)

On my Asus F201E with Ubuntu 13.10, I have used headphones without problems until a few days ago, I opened Clementine and Audacity at the same time, and now my headphone port does not work anymore. I am not sure if those two apps are related to the issue, but this is the only thing I can think of.
Reading other similar questions around AskUbuntu (about 8 of them), I could not find a solution that would work for me.
The problem is not related to the headphones (same issue with three sets), and the internal speakers of the laptop work fine. The headphones are still recognised as the speakers are muted when the headphones are plugged. The issue is not a hardware issue as I could boot into a usb startup disk with 13.10 and use headphones without any problems.
When a sound is supposed to be sent to the headphones (music, or sound when changing the sound level for example), I only get a little "breathing" sound or a crackle. I played with the sound settings to no avail (changing the output manually), as well as alsamixer. I also tried reinstalling (and purging) the following packages:
But nothing changed. I also tried editing the following files:
as suggested in that question, but still no results.
I am sure I could reinstall the whole system but I have so many apps, ppa, configuration files and documents everywhere that I would rather find a smaller fix.
I was wondering if you had any idea of other packages I could try to uninstall ; purge ; reinstall?
Or any other idea?
Cheers!
Update: I edited this as I now figured out that it is Audacity's problem. Every time I try to use it, my headphone port stops working straight away, and even when Audacity is closed, I can not use anything else with my headphones. It takes a few days before the problem fixes itself somehow.
I have noticed that I have not been able to play audio or video from a few different players in Firefox for a while, namely videos from the Canal + Zapping website and music from the Free Music Archive website; however, most other websites, like Youtube, Dailymotion and Soundcloud, work perfectly in Firefox.
Also, this problem does not exist in Google Chrome.
I am using Ubuntu 13.04 and Firefox 22.0 with proposed and backport updates, as well as ubuntu-restricted-extras 57 installed.
Cheers
I have been asked by the IT people at my work to uninstall and reinstall my Ethernet driver in order to try and fix a connection problem.
When looking in Software Centre, I find those packages when searching for the word "Ethernet":
Which package do you think I should uninstall and reinstall? And will it also disable my wireless connection? (i.e. Will I be able to reinstall the driver afterwards if I end up without Internet connection?)
Edit: here is the result of lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net :

I modified a .bin file for the software ELAN so the path to one of my libraries is correct (after installation, ELAN can't find the library because the path is not right). So I used Emacs to correct this.
But when I use the commands to install the .bin file:
sudo chmod +x ELAN_440_linux_novm_install.bin
./ELAN_440_linux_novm_install.bin
I get the error message:
Preparing to install...
Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive...
The size of the extracted files to be installed are corrupted. Please try to download the installer again and make sure that you download using 'binary' mode.
Please do not attempt to install this currently downloaded copy.
This is probably because I added a few characters to the problematic string.
Is there a way to force the installation, as I know that the file wasn't corrupted before I edited it?
I recently installed a oracle jdk from a webupd8ppa on Ubuntu 12.04 beta, but apparently it didn't work out, and now it is giving me errors at every update or install I make, even after deactivating the ppa from my sources.

Thank you for your help in advance!
I was wondering what could be a good app (with a GUI ;) ) for making a video from a bunch of photos or images, to create a time-lapse video, or a stop-motion animation, or even a video like this one.
The idea is to set a really small time between each photo, but also to be able to change this time every so often, or add some effects, to make the succession smoother in particular.
What would be perfect is a function that allows automatic cropping of the photos as well as exposure adjustment so they all have the same background and so the time-lapse video looks smoother.
I know about the slide show app "Imagination" but the interval can not go under one second.
Edit: here is my progress, also thanks to the first answer:
I tried several diaporama apps:
Imagination doesn't handle more than 1 image per second;
PhotoFilmStrip (repo version and latest version from website): same problem even though you can go down to 0.1 second per image, it still behaves wierdly (going back to 1 second automatically);
Any other suggestions?
I was after a word processor that can manage left and right pages separately so I can have my text on the right pages and my illustrations on the left pages. I know LibeOffice can set "left page" and "right page" formats, but there is no simple way to make the text jump from right page to right page when writing. I don't know what would be the best way to do that, but I guess I need an app that is designed for writing books and do that kind of thing, or an app that can associate a page format with an object format (so the "illustration" format can be exclusively associated with "left page" format, and "text body" exclusively associated with "right page", for example). Or is there an extension for LO or OOo out there that I didn't hear about?
Cheers!
I really can't find anything that can solve my problem. Here it is:
I tried to install 11.10 32bits on my Dell Studio Hybrid from CD, but I would directly get a blank screen and my screen would turn off. So I found on the Internet the "Nomodeset" solution (shift, then F6) that let me install the OS.
After installing, of course, same problem after the first purple screen: just black, screen turns off. I used Grub again to use the safe mode, chose in the menu "resume to boot normally" and it went fine, I could use my desktop and do the updates, but problems remain:
I can't boot without using the safe mode;
My pointer flickers every time I go over a button or something;
And my display is stretched and ugly (can't fix it in "display").
I really can't use Ubuntu like this. Could anyone at least explain to me what the problem is, and maybe help me to have a usable computer?
For info, the only proprietary driver available is for my bluetooth card, and this is my configuration:
Processor: Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU T6400 @ 2.00GHz × 2
Graphics: VESA : Intel(r)GM965/PM965/GL960 Graphics
2.9 Gio memory
I am looking here for the best simple and intuitive application that is designed to produce neat looking graphs, for example "number of Ubuntu users in the last 10 years" or "average amounts paid by windows, mac and linux users for each Humble Indie Bundle edition".
I just want it to be easy to produce (not too many functions), and nice looking (no ugly business charts)!
Thanks for your help!
I always add words to my LibreOffice dictionary (standard.dic), but I would love to make those words available to other users by contributing to the project's dictionaries. Is there a way LibreOffice can produce statistics about how often a word is added in dictionaries from users wishing to help? Or is there a project I can join to participate in the dictionaries editing?
