I have a 20-min video that my friend has recently recorded, but the whole thing occupies 1 G. Is there a way to reduce it to something that can be emailed to people without completely using the quality?
I was wondering how I can install the adobe flashplayer from this site: https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
I have no experience with the formats that are available there.
There is no .deb version of it there and I need the flashplayer for Opera.
Thanks
Since this .deb bug is causing a lot of issues, I must resort to install the Opera browser using the terminal. Which is just fine, but I also need to add it to the repository for automatic updates.
Since I am no expert at all, I do not know how to perform the full installation of the browser. How do I go about it?
Thanks!
P.S. Please do not mark this as duplicate, because the other posts dont details how to go about installing Opera with adding it to the repository too for updates. Cheers.
I was wondering if someone could tell me how to install the adobe flashplayer for Chromium in Ubuntu 16.04.
Thanks
I have an exclamation point saying "The update information is outdated" which has appeared today (2016-10-03), and when I ran the update manager I got an error message that it failed to download information. (By the way, there is nothing wrong with my internet connection.)
The command: sudo apt-get update gives me this error message after an attempt to update:
W: Failed to fetch http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/Release Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Google Chrome seems to be giving me a hard time?
I have just upgraded from 15.04 to 15.10. I was asked if I wanted to have the obsolete packages removed, but since the option was going to take several hours...I decided to choose "no". I have found that it can be done via synaptic too, but is it necessary or useful at all?
I really like that synapse application launcher, but there seems to be no way of installing it in ubuntu 14.04. Any ideas why? Or does anyone know how I could get it?
How can I wrap text in a single cell in LibreOffice Calc??
I am wondering why chrome close/maximize buttons are aligned to the left while all the buttons are aligned to the right. The truth is that the chrome buttons are right aligned too when in the chrome settings I tick "use system title bar and borders". But since I dont want the borders, I unticked this option and the buttons got aligned to the other (left-hand) side.
Does anyone know why this is? By the way, I am using cinnamon interface on Ubuntu 12.04.
I dont really want to use linux mint 14 cinnamon, but I love the interface. Is it a good idea to stick to Ubuntu and run cinnamon on it? Does it work 100% fine?
Another thing: is it a good idea to put cinnamon interface on top of Lubuntu? Is it still going to be a fast, reliable system?
Thanks a lot and sorry for the newbie question.
A few weeks ago my chromebook got crazy and its OS got corrupted for an unknown reason. I'd like to instal Ubuntu 12.04 64bit on it using a bootable USB pendrive, but since it is not the usual installation that I am used to on PCs/laptops....I am a bit stuck and dont even know where to start. I'd simply like to make a pendrive that I can make bootable for my chromebook and do the installation.
I'd like to watch BBC Iplayer...but it only works in the UK. I am currently living in Spain. Is there a way to hide my ID and make the bbc website believe that I have a UK IP or something?
I am wondering what sudo apt-get update does?
What does it update?
Anyway....there is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and the normal 12.10 version. Is that the same with Lubuntu? On their site, for some reason, they seem to be promoting the 12.10 version while for me an LTS is always more appealing. I am wondering if they have the same ideology as the Ubuntu team.
UPDATE: Is it okay to talk about Lubuntu here at all? I understand that it is a flavour of Ubuntu...but still. Are they 2 very different teams?
In the List view in Nautilus, I can see datestamp, name, etc - but it would be great to add one more extra tab and make the size of everything contained in a folder visible at a glance as well.
Is there a command or a way to do so?
I am wondering if there is a way to compare folders in Ubuntu? I have tried to organize my photo folders many times...and for this reason I have several folders that contain the same files (maybe a couple of extra ones) and it would be great to have a tool to figure out which files are extra and which files are identical.
P.S. I have just found an application that works well. It's called FSlint. Here is a link to it with a detailed description: http://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/clean-up-ubuntu-remove-duplicates-with-fslint-filesystem-lint/
I am making a 10G partition "/" (root) partition that will contain my Ubuntu OS and the rest of the drive will be the "/home" with the music, home, download, etc...folders. (that come originally.....)
Do those general folders go directly on the /home partition?
I mean if I make a / and a /home partition....that means that one day when I wanna reinstall Ubuntu, I'll just need to do it on the / partition and all the data that is on /home (in the download, home, music...etc folders) will stay there after the installation. Am I right?
Where can I find the terminal in Lubuntu? I thought the CTRL+T option works as it does in Ubuntu too.
Can anyone provide me a walkthrough of how to set up Facebook on Pidgin?
I am experimenting with virtual box. One of my problems is that the mouse cursor only works within the box. How can I make it work both with the actual OS too and the virtual box at the same time?
