Currently I'm trying to install 19.04 on my fairly new computer, with a Gigabyte GA-z270 motherboard. When attempting to install, I will get the purple splash screen, the orange/white dots will show up briefly, and then my computer will stop outputting video. After this failed attempt, my motherboard no longer recognizes my flash drive.
A while back when I had Windows and Ubuntu on the same hard drive, I defragged from windows and it messed ubuntu up. Is there a way so that I can defrag it without touching the ext4 partition?
I have tried many different things to try to format my USB drive, but none of them work... how might I do this using the mformat commands? thanks!
I installed 10.10 to try the Macbuntu theme (evidently enough, it didn't work). I am trying to uninstall it, but I also have 12.04 on the same hard drive. How would I go about removing 10.10 without affecting 12.04? Thanks!
I have just donwloaded the application FrostWire. I was trying to open it, but it just won't open. The icon does it's flashing, and then it goes back to the normal background, no windows from that app at all. I checked the syslogs, and there isn't anything that I could find that had to do with it not opening. It's not appearing on System monitor either. I do have OpenJDK 7 as it is required to run the program. Any ideas?
I have just upgraded to 13.04, and i'm noticing that the graphics aren't as smooth as they were in 12.04, and there is no driver option in the settings menu. Is there a way to change the driver? I have an Nvidia Quadro nvs 135M and I used the "recommended" driver for it in the additional drivers. Thanks!
I'm trying to jailbreak my iPod touch with a tool called evasi0n.
I have downloaded the package, but I have no idea how to run/install it. I am trying to do this on a Dell Latitude D830 with an Intel Core 2 Duo and 4GB of ram.
On Ubuntu Tweak, it says that Janitor can be run to free up some disk space. Is this safe? I am running 12.04.

I just downloaded an OS X theme for CairoDock. I have already extracted it and put it in my documents folder (just so I know where it is). I am completely clueless on how to apply it. Thanks in advance!
I remember hearing bad things about java 1.7 on windows and OS-X, but are the same security holes present in Ubuntu?
I was in a video call with someone, and I would receive a notification that somebody else has logged on. a second or so later, skype would crash. I have checked for updates, and there were none. Please help!
