Prasad RD's questions

• Kubuntu 14.04 64bit on a MS-DOS (MBR) type HDD (sda4)
• Kubuntu 14.10 64bit on a GPT type HDD (sdb5)
• Windows 8.1 64bit on a GPT type HDD (sda3)

these are my installed OSes, both kubuntu installations were made with "secure boot off" state. Now I need to turn secure boot ON. but enabling secure mode ignores the grub and head to windows 8. also it indicates an error with the boot saying "invalid signature detected..."

do I need to add grub-efi signature to efi-firmware? or how can I enable secure boot correctly?

Is it possible to have menus like this concept design in ubuntu 14.04? with static blur like dash,launcher?

I am using ubuntu 14.04 LTS (64 bit). I could access the 4GB memory of my fujifilm AV-150 digital camera through nautilus in 13.10, but it is no longer shown in 14.04!

dmesg

The camera is detected but not mounted as a mass storage. In ubuntu 13.10, it detects and mounts automatically without any hassle.

I have two Hard disk drives, as shown in the screenshot

First HDD (Sda) is a MBR Disk and second HDD (Sdb) is a GPT Disk (Which has windows 8.1x64). I have installed ubuntu on Sda4 disk and windows 8.1 on Sdb4. I need to setup grub to boot both windows and ubuntu OSes with EFI capable mode (my motherboard is intel DH77KC and it has UEFI bios)

I tried to install grub and search for Windows 8 but it doesn't detect win8, also the windows 8 disk is inaccessible on ubuntu... I have to disable EFI mode so I can boot grub before it automatically boots up windows 8...but without efi mode, win 8 doesn't boot, so I need to install grub on efi support without re-installing ubuntu. is it possible? only windows 8 is on efi mode, windows 7 is mbr mode.

I'm having a strange problem since the new installation of Ubuntu 13.10 x64. here is a screenshot as you see my badge icons are not loading and vote buttons are messed (I haven't even touched them-up voted or down voted) this is only with Google-chrome (Firefox and other browsers are good) and with askubuntu site only...other stack exchange sites render as normal...why is this? does askubuntu site has some kind of interfere with Google-chrome? I reinstalled google-chrome but the problem exists...

Ubuntu 13.10 x64 Google-chrome-Version 31.0.1650.63

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 with Gnome-Classic and I need to configure Work-space edge settings. In unity it can be easily done by Ubuntu tweak Tool... this is what I had in unity

when hovering bottom left-Shows desktop, bottom right-Windows, top right-Workspaces

but there is no such setting in Ubuntu tweak in gnome-classic, how to enable Workspace edges?

I want to make Cairo dock(with opengl) execute in the start-up only on Gnome-Classic but not on other DEs like cinnamon, unity or gnome.How to do that?

is there any way to reset fonts? my recent customization made the desktop ugly, now the fonts are not smooth and some are very small.I used ubuntu tweak tool to reset fonts. but it didn't work as thought.is there a configuration file to edit or delete to reset this?

I had a nVidia Geforce 6200 128mb AGP Vga card before and ubuntu was working fine and I had customized my Grub boot menu background, Today I installed a new graphics card which is same as above but it is 256MB, now the graphics of the grub menu is lowered (low resolution and color depth), what should I do to fix it?

I'm currently using Kubuntu 12.04 and after installing nVidia drivers and Setting resolution up to 1440x900 limit, fonts look ugly,only browser content fonts work well, I tried fixing them using Fonts-KDE contol Module, but it didn't work, Please help here is a screenshot

When ubuntu resumes from suspend the screen messed up!, I have installed correct drivers for the graphics card (nVidia geforce 6200 128mb agp) and updated to the latest. This also happens when switching user accounts without login off, I use Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit and my pc is intel p4 3.06Ghz HT 1mb cache LGA,1GB ddr1 400mhz, asus p5pe-vm MB, here are some screenshots. Please help

Ubuntu 12.04 won't come with the Windows Installer (Wubi) pre-added. But is there any way to install 12.04 using Wubi?

These days my heart pumps more blood to itself because of Ubuntu 12.04 release. I would like to download it about two or three days later.we know there is a wubi for the cd version included. I want to know, is there a wubi installer for the Ubuntu DVD version? and what will be the size of the dvd image? 4.7GB?

I really feel no error with my Ubuntu 10.10 system to date. but when it boots, I can see some messages display. I read the Boot.log in the /var/log directory and here it is!

Are there any errors when booting or what are the messages display below

Is it important to install chipset drivers on Ubuntu? I'm not using onboard graphics but in windows it is important I think, I got linux drivers for my chipset and never tried to install them (Hard way no .deb files, only manual installation) i'm not talking about installing VGA drivers but Lan and other motherboard drivers,except Audio

I'm looking forward to download Ubuntu 12.04. But which bit version will fit best on my computer?.

• Intel Pentium 4 3.06 1mb cache LGA,
• Asus p5pe-vm motherboard,
• 1GB Ram (512+512)
• nVidia Geforce 6200 128mb AGP graphics card.

Will I run out of RAM? Or is it good to use 32bit more than using 64 bit on this? This computer fully supports Windows 7 64bit edition and runs better than 32bit.

I'm currently using Ubuntu 10.10 32bit and it runs like a dream (11.10 is much slower on this PC) Please help me before 26th of April!

I'm using a Huawei 156g USB stick to connect to the internet. In windows it reacts lightning fast and loads pages faster than my Ubuntu 10.10 does, It's not the connection type (HSDPA, WCDMA or gsm) it takes more time to connect, download speed seems okay (But not full speed i think) what is the matter with it? do I need to install some kind of drivers for it? I'm not behind a proxy. please help, I just searched around ask Ubuntu and nothing matched my problem :-(

I haven't done this kind of work before but I really need Adobe Illustrator to get work on ubuntu! I don't care if it is cs3 or 4. I have installed CS3 and 4 master collection on windows and with wine on ubuntu can't run it (yes, no registry entries added to the wine!) I can copy all the needed file to the /home/prasad/.wine/dosdevices/C: directory with hidden files included, but how to add registry entries to them? (windows registry editor like thing to wine) is it possible to make illustrator run in ubuntu like that, i tried to install Master collection but it failed number of times. I use ubuntu 10.10

This is crazy I know, My recent experiment gave me a unforgettable experience, I usually use ubuntu as a Wubi installation because it is easy to backup my 10.10 system and give a try to new versions without any problems.

So after i booted to ubuntu 10.10 I can rename, move or even delete my root file in /Host/ubuntu/disks directory,Then I used to boot my 11.10 system directly by renaming current 10.10 root file and copying 11.10 root file to the same directory,

How is that possible, does ubuntu run completely on Ram? or is there a cached root file elsewhere? I'm confused,

I think I can even remove my hard disk when ubuntu is running (If swap disk not included in the same disk) but in the windows, it is a dream!!!, how is this possible?

first I apologize for asking a question like this, I have no interest in Inkscape, I've Tried installing Adobe master collection in ubuntu but it failed, Some people said to use Virtual box and try it but it is too slow- I tried it.Do i need to install any other package with wine or something
