2 days ago, I got a message saying something was almost out of space, only 24 MB left. When clicked on the choice to resolve it, it took me to an admin page, a colored circle with a trailing slash appeared in the tray, which would never fully load. I did not take good notes on what I saw, sadly. I t...

hey Fredeshay I had the same problem with xfburn, where one file would not load, and the file had a # in it. Once I took that out, it loaded just fine. Thanks for posting!

I signed up with IDrive for backups across multiple computers, for my household. In Linux, the program uses IDrive_for_Linux, which if you get it right, eventually works its way around to the vi editor. There is a good bit they don't tell you. I have just been through the ringer, so listen up. 1 Dow...

Once created you can't increase the HDD size. But you can clone it and then increase the size of the clone. To clone just right click on your guest OS in VB manager. To increase the size you have to go into terminal: Code: Select all VBoxManage modifyhd Windows7.vdi --resize 30000 Didn't work for m...

Orcus and others in hex chat helped me figure out that my downloads were not going to /brian/home/Downloads/ but to another directory Once i got that resolved I was able to find the driver file, and then it ran through pretty well.

Ok sometime earlier this year, my printer stopped working again. here is how I got it working again. I apologize this is a little bit of a mess at the top, you just need a clean entry in terminal to do this. Again, printer was installed but not printing, now it is printing.

I think I cleaned all this up by 10 going to a hard disk that is new and clean. My previous disk was 10 years old, and it had bad sectors, and a 97 spin rate, which I am told is bad. And 2) during install, I selected the Nvidia driver* ( duh) and the clicked on what was my processor, in my case amd6...
