I would like to upgrade Ubuntu from the 32 bit version to the 64 bit version in the quickest and easiest way possible. Ideally I would like to do this from within Ubuntu if possible. I do not mind wiping the computer and losing all data. Any help appreciated.
I have Ubuntu 16.04 running on a HP Desktop with two monitors. The launcher is currently located on the left edge of the right hand monitor which is very inconvenient. How do I move it to the left edge of the left monitor?
I am able to move it to the bottom with:
gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Launcher launcher-position Bottom
But I would like to move it to the left edge of the left monitor.
I want to open a .PS (postscript file) having produced it from a .csh script running a series of GMT commands preferably using ghostview. I am trying:
gv plot.ps
This however opens ghostview but not my plot. Instead I just get the spinning wheel. The plot itself can however be opened through the file viewer and is fully functional.
I have been looking at this thread: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10310397/i-want-to-view-a-ps-file-through-ghostscript-9-05-command-prompt
which suggests:
GS> (c:/Users/Ankit/Desktop/abc.ps)
But this also does not work for me.
I am using Ubuntu 16.04.
When I try to run the spell check in Libre office I get the following error.
I have MATLAB 2016a installed on Ubuntu 16.4. I can launch MATLAB from the command line but I am unable to successfully launch it from the icon in 'Search' or if I try to create a shortcut. Does anyone have a solution that will allow me to create a working shortcut?
