I fell asleep last night while watching a Youtube video. I woke up for a second just to see a black screen which I closed. Upon awakening I lifted the laptop screen (totally addicted to it) and heard voices before logging in. So does Youtube playlists roll on when Ubuntu is suspended or did it just start over from where it suspended? Have I been downloading all night or...???

I have a laptop which had Windows 7 pre-installed. I did dual boot it with Ubuntu 12.04 and I have never since booted to windows. What happens now if I install the third OS, Fedora 17 or Opensuse 12.2 by CD? Will the next installed OS become the default or will I be able to choose?

You've heard this a million times but the "tap to click" is a pain in the behind and I want to disable it. There is no touchpad in gpointing-device-settings and neither in mouse and touchpad in system settings. I've tried some commands in terminal but it's all crap. Dconf-editor doesn't react. How about solving this once and for all?

EDIT:

I think someone fixed it here on launchpad

Can someone explain the fix like I was a four year old idiot? (using precise pangolin)

I had Ubuntu on my laptop a few days ago but a professional installed it for me. Soon after I got it from the guy I messed it up. I uninstalled Ubuntu with easybcd and now I'm scared it will complicate things.

Does it?

I'm sure I downloaded Ubuntu to disk on this site:

http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download

And got this file:

ubuntu-11.10-server-amd64

which I burned to disk.

When I put the cd in my laptop it shows me a wubi.exe file.

When I reboot with the cd it boots straight to windows 7.

What's wrong? Teach me

uninstall cd windows-7 installation easybcd

Since I´m getting more and more into linux I got the idea that I should start dualbooting on the family laptop.

First I downloaded wubi to dualboot Ubuntu with Windows 7 home premium on an Acer Aspire 5732Z laptop.

Then I restarted and looked forward for Ubuntu but the screen is almost black. I can barely see some ad about "excellent apps" but not enough to be able to do anything about it.

Beside being a newbie and computerlexic, what´s my issue?
