I've recently purchased an HP Envy Touchsmart 15 and so far the touchscreen has worked excellently and I'm very pleased with it. I know of the 4 finger to open the dash and the 3 to move windows so I know the multitouch does work... but it is possible to enable features such as pinch-to-zoom and the like? Things that you'd typically see on a smart phone or tablet?
Grayson's questions
I have an HP Envy Touchsmart 15 and I can't find a way to emulate a right click on a touchscreen. I remember there being an option for it in way older versions of Ubuntu, as to hold the left click button for so long and it'd emulate a right click. However in 13.10 I cannot find any such option under any accessibility or mouse settings.
I have a HP Envy Touchsmart 15 and it has a hybrid Broadcom chipset that's both Wifi and Bluetooth. Wifi works excellently however the Bluetooth doesn't work. Ubuntu recognizes that the computer does indeed have Bluetooth and sometimes will detect other Bluetooth devices, but it cannot interact in anyway with them. It can sometimes see, but will not connect, and it is not visible to any other Bluetooth device.
All Bluetooth settings are correct.

How do I resize my current ubuntu partition?
I have a 750 GB hard drive and it's been entirely dedicated to my Ubuntu installation. I want to make 2 100 GB partitions for two other OSes and I'm not sure how to make these partitions. How do I go about doing so?
After a fresh install, and various other tests (troubleshooting), I have concluded that my laptop (an HP Envy 14 - Beats Edtion) will not play DVDs, however it will play CDs.
When I first got the laptop, up until recently it played DVDs perfectly, I doubt there is a hardware issue sees as it loads the DVDs and can view the files in them, but not play them, as well as read and work with CDs perfectly.
Was there an update or something of the like that may have caused this? If so, is there a fix? I typically use this laptop 's HDMI out with my TV as a DVD player... so it would be very beneficial if there was a solution to this problem.
There was a similar issue with the touchpad that there was a fix for... so I'm hoping that this is something similar
I installed libdvdcss2, and it worked for a while, but now whenever I put in a DVD as of late, and try to play it, it'll tell me the DVD is encrypted and that it cannot be played... do note that all codecs are installed. What do I do to fix this problem?
How do you mount a Motorola Xoom in Ubuntu to sync your music? I recently purchased one, and unlike my other Android devices, it doesn't seem to want to mount. I tried using a Windows computer to sync the music but the services aren't as well refined as what we see in Banshee (especially with metadata and album art).
Well on my computer, I can't install Ubuntu to my 750 and boot from it, but it does however, work from my 160, and I use this as a work computer, and I have 280+ GB of information that I plan to put and use on it.
So, it was suggested to me, after much frustration, to use the 160, as the OS drive, and the 750 as a storage drive. How do I get all of my files on that other harddrive and make it work as though it was all on one harddrive.
The programs would know to go to whatever folders for whatever they need, such as Banshee for music, etc. This is really... odd, and I didn't expect this to happen, so how do I do this?
Recently, my computer stopped being able to play mp4, 3pg, avi, mkv, and more media. VLC will get it to work, nothing else does, and when I try to play it with the normal player it always tries to find codecs to install, when just yesterday everything worked fine
I have an iPod Classic, and it's full of duplicates and it's a complete mess and would like to start anew, and I was curious if there was a way to restore an iPod like you could under Windows/Mac?
So on my desktop, I decided to install Ubuntu 10.10, so I wiped it, the 10.04 system wasn't working anyway, but whenever I try to boot from a USB it tells me that there's a boot failure issue, and to hit enter, and when I put in a disk, the hardware doesn't load; keyboard, mouse, and the like, anything I can do? this hasn't happened before
I click the icon, the splash screen will come up, and then about half way, it will disappear, I can't get it to work at all, any possible solutions?? I tried to get Terminal output, but I couldn't seem to get anything
I'm not sure what kind it is, it doesn't use a propriety driver, it runs out of the box. In 10.04 it worked fine, in 10.10 it'll work, but randomly lose connection, though it won't state it, then it'll work again, and then stop working, very on-and-off behavior.
The laptop is an HP Pavilion dv6.
Everything worked fine in Ubuntu 10.04, flawless in fact, I admired the way the Operating System had handled such a unique touchpad so well. I have an HP Pavilion dv6.
The touchpad and left, middle, and right click buttons are all on the trackpad, and it the bottom end depresses to click accordingly for each kind of click.
In 10.04, everything worked fine, upon upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10 things became... odd. The scroll on the side would work, as would the left click. The right click wouldn't work however, but if you would lightly tap the exact right corner of the touchpad, the right click menu would come up, though it was inconsistent and difficult to make it do so.
I have applied a fix I found on the older Ubuntu Forums for a similar issue, and it restored the normal left and right click, but it isn't as fluid, and there isn't the vertical scroll feature, which I do rather like to have...
I would just like things to be as it was, if this is possible, please, please tell me how to do so.
Thank you.
