Osama Ahmaro's questions

I currently have a Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04 dual boot on my PC. This issue happened because i have installed windows after Ubuntu.

I have tried to boot from a live-USB and reinstalling Grub using the terminal following this link http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd

Also using the grub repair tool but with no success!

And now I am stuck in this grub2 command line screen:

Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions.
grub>

I got this output after running lsblk; sudo parted -l

I have noticed lately that whenever i try to resize any window in Ubuntu 16.04, i get very slow performance.

I have checked my graphic driver and everything in my GUI seems to work perfectly except for this.

Thanks

I have dual boot with Window 7 And Ubuntu 11.10.

Yesterday I tired installing Ubuntu 12.04 LTS , by Manually removing all Ubuntu 11.10 partitions, creating new partitions and installing Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, But then I got this error.

error: unknown filesystem
grub rescue >

The thing is when I let Ubuntu do partitioning for me it solves the problem, But I always do my own partitioning and it was working with me before, what had changed in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS?

I have both Windows 7 And Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on same Hard Drive, And the Partitions for Ubuntu that I have are :

1. /
2. /boot
3. swap
4. /home

I am not an experienced Ubuntu user And I hope I am not missing any necessary details, But please feel free to ask.

Thanks in advance

I can't get my microphone working on Ubuntu 11.10, I tried all the hardware profiles in the audio settings. without any success.

I am sure that i don't have any issue with my mic or input since I have dual boot and I got it working on windows.

When I try to run Maya from the terminal, I get:

error while loading shared libraries: libtiff.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

How do I solve this?

Note: Maya is a third-party software.

I have a .mov file that I am trying to run using VLC and totem movie player.

When I try running it with VLC I get audio but no video, and when I try running it using totem I get the following error message:

Internal GStreamer error: negotiation problem.  Please file a bug at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GStreamer.

When I go to the properties in totem movie player it mentions that the video codec for my video is Sorensen video v.3.

I have a creative SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio, And i faced so many problems with this card regarding compatibility with Linux.

Now i am looking for a new audio card and want to make sure that this time it will be compatible with linux.

If you don't know a websites that has a list of supported Linux audio cards just tell me what audio card you are using on Linux.

Thanks for help!

I need to extract a .bin file and I have no idea how to do it in Ubuntu. In Windows I usually used to do it using MagicISO.

The microphone is not working on UBUNTU, I checked ALSA mixer and i don't seem to have any channel muted.

I believe its a driver issue, since i already faced a lot of problems regarding driver support for this audio card.

Its ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64-bit, and the kernal is Linux 2.6.32-27-generic

thanks for help.

I have two monitors and I want my wacom to only work on one monitor.

When i try to login it takes about 2 to 4 minutes and after that it shows an error that says:

P2P connect failed.

Note that Skype was working with me yesterday.

Thanks in advance

I asked a question on how do I get an SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio CA0110 working three days ago. And they told me to install the Alsa driver modules from this website:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules

This answer did work and my audio driver was working until I updated my kernel...

Now the new kernel is Linux 2.6.32-27 generic. How can I get the Alsa module driver to work on this new kernel?

Or at least, how can I go back to the old kernel?

I tried to run this command:

apt-get install linux-alsa-driver-modules-$(uname -r)

And this is what I get:

Couldn't find package linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.32-27-generic

I did a lot of searches on Google in how to install Intous 4 driver, but I couldn't find anything that worked until now.

I am looking for step by step installation tutorial to install the driver.

and how can i check that everything is configured correctly?

Alsa does not support my (SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio CA0110) audio card as shown in their web page.

Now my question is how can I configure my audio driver without using ALSA? And should I waste my time trying to make this audio card work or it is simply impossible for linux?
