Kind of a dumb question, but which file format are ubuntu icons (in apps and dash to dock) are they .png or .ico files? I want to create some icon/themes for ubuntu. But I'm not sure which format to use, also is 256x256 the resolution like in windows?
Thanks in advance :)
I know that this question has been posted already (kind of) but those seems not to apply to my case, as with the tutorials I found online, seems to be different.
So I have a samsung laptop (AMD APU A6-1450 with integrated grapichs) i was trying to play some games, then i realised that CSGO for example runs at 15/20 FPS, which make me wonder, so i check and seems I'm using the ubuntu open source drivers.
I went to AMD website and download my drivers from their website, which for my current APU and GPU its "Crimson Edition 15.12 Proprietary Ubuntu 14.04 x86_64" so I downloaded and here is the first problem, I realize its a .deb package, not a tar.gz with a .sh file inside to run (which shows up in all the tutorials online to install propietary drivers), i check just in case the .pdf in AMD website which said would help to install the drivers, but that pdf is beyond complicated and misleading, (and also refers to a .tar.gz file with a run file inside, not a deb package). Anyway i thought it would be easier since its a deb, so i tried to install it by dpkg -i amdblablabla.deb fail becasue fglrx-core dependence not installed and other "libtq4" (something like this i forgot the name) also "missing dependecies or not installed".
So i tried, sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get check and sudo apt-get -f install
but it didnt help (dependecies didnt installed) it just suggets me to delete the fglrx deb I installed previously
I tried the following (according to AMD pdf file if missing dependencies) sudo apt-get build-dep fglrx-core and apt-get build-dep "libtq4" which are the dependencies missing, but fail because it didn't recognice the packages or doesn't found those packages.
So here is where I stop because I fail to find a tutorial for a .deb package to install AMD propietary drivers, I'm missing something here? or what I'm doing wrong, i ask becasue i'm not that knwoledged of ubuntu, i read somewhere that first you have to uninstall the open source drivers or purge it, but not Im not 100% sure if i have to do that for my case, since my ubuntu is very clean install...
Anyway thank you in advance. :)
I want to try Ubuntu again, (I just check have the new stuff new version have 18.04), it's almost 1 year since I stopped using Ubuntu. Now I have a new computer. It has a 128GB SSD including all the programs I need for work on Windows. There remains less than 24GB, of course the best (and most simple) would be to install Ubuntu alongside Windows, using grub to manage the boot, but with only 24GB it isn't enough, and won't be possible.
I have a 320GB WD external HDD, I thought installing Ubuntu on it would be easy.
The first attempt failed to install grub on it. Then I read I should made boot partition, because is recommended, and also turn on internet would help the installation, (which I didn't).
I also read in a tutorial for installing Ubuntu on an external HDD that the installation would mess up Windows 10 boot, but how and why? This is the main reason I'm asking this question. Since I don't want to go through all the fixing windows boot stuff. Why will installing Ubuntu on another will mess up windows boot?
I'm chosing my external HDD for "Device for bootloader installation" which is the /dev/sdb (my WD external HDD) not my actual SSD where I have Windows installed (which is /dev/sda).
I'm new, recently I was trying ubuntu, (I used it before like 9 years ago) this is the second time I install it and use it, (I wasn't sure about to install it). But now I like it, even more than windows, that I use it as my primary O.S.
Since my Windows 10 is working very slow. To be more specific now I'm using the Boot Menu of ubuntu to chosee between Ubuntu or Windows 10. I want to format Windows 10, but I wonder if doing this will mess up the boot menu of Ubuntu. Since I don't want to have to fix this thing in case something happen.
Is this possible? Or formatting windows 10 will not change the stock Ubuntu Boot Menu?
