I've installed Windows 10 and then installed Ubuntu 17.04.

I've also disabled fast startup and UEFI secure boot.

When I start ubuntu the Grub display is shown, but there is no Windows entry.

I've tried to use:

sudo update-grub
sudo grub-install /dev/sda4

(sda4 is where the Windows Partition is at)

But none of this commands worked, the first didn't list the Windows 10 partition and the second one prompted an error message.

I've also tried to install boot-repair but I couldn't launch it in Ubuntu 17.04.

I've installed Grub Customizer but it does not list any Windows partition and I didn't found how to add a new one.

At the moment in order to run Linux or Windows 10 I have to enter the Bios and select the desired OS partition which seems very cumbersome to do every time I need to do this.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Is there some kind of filter or smart playlist that would allow me to show only albums that have never been played before or that have been played a specific amount of times?

The smart playlist "never played", it seems that picks random songs that have never been played, instead of full albums.

Any suggestions?

I use Clementine 1.2

I have in my /etc/fstab file this line in order to mount my Windows ntfs partition:

/dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1  ntfs rw,noauto,users,permissions 0 2

I've changed the owner using chown and set the permissions to 777 using chmod.

If I make an ls -lt it shows the owner and the permissions properly changed.

However I still don't have permissions for writing there, if I execute mkdir test it says:

mkdir: cannot create directory `test': Permission denied

Any suggestions?

UPDATE

I found the solution, these are the steps I followed:

1. Type sudo blkid

2. Get the UUID related to your ntfs partition.

3. Change the /etc/fstab file adding this line:

   UUID="your UUID" /media/"any name" ntfs users,defaults 0 0

I'm using Ubuntu and I'm trying to connect to another machine in a different network using remote desktop.

In Windows7 I have made the following in order to activate remote desktop:

1. I've gone to computer -> properties -> remote settings
2. I've selected the option: "Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop
3. I've opened "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security"
4. In inbound rules I've enabled the rules for remote desktop (public and domain)

I have also installed Remmina in the Ubuntu machine.

For configuring it I did the following steps:

1. Selected the RDP protocol
2. In the server input I have written the Windows machine public IP.
3. In username / password I have typed my login credentials (the same as my Windows admin account)

But when I try to connect I get this error message:

"Unable to connect to RDP server 89.130.251.160"

If I ping my Windows7 machine, I have a correct response.

Any suggestions?

I have a machine with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.10

In Ubuntu I have about 30% packet loss when I make pings either to my router gateway or to an external site such as google.com, so my internet connection goes very slow.

Since the network works perfectly fine in Windows 7 (without any packet loss), I assume it's not a problem of the line.

Is there anything I could change in network settings or something similar in order to make this work correctly in Ubuntu?

I edit to say that I found my solution here (the problem was defective realtek drivers):

How do I stop my ethernet network connection from dropping?

I have Ubuntu 11.10 and I'm trying to set up extended display for my two displays.

I have an AMD 6870.

fglrx and fglrx-updates are installed.

When I launch amdcccle trough the terminal (using sudo), I select in tab "Multi-Display" the option "Multi-display Desktop with Display(s)".

Then it says for changes to be done I have to reboot my computer.

Being a good an obedient lad I do just that, but after rebooting the displays are still in the same "clone" option as before in the Catalyst Control Center and no changes are made.

Any suggestions?

I want to fix this because it seems the reason why I cannot share ubuntu folders with my Windows machine.

Windows 7 machine network configuration:

IP: 192.168.2.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.2.1

dns: 8.8.8.8, 4.4.4.4

Ubuntu machine network configuration:

IP: 192.168.2.3
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.2.1

dns: 8.8.8.8, 4.4.4.4

I can ping my Windows machine from Ubuntu but I cannot ping my Ubuntu machine from Windows.

Any suggestions?
