Well, I can't help much really as I haven't used Virtualbox for years. I don't know why some people using Linux keep posting for Linux help on this forum when so few people here use Linux. Isn't it...

Very interesting clip ... reminds me of the "Person of Interest" TV show from a few years ago. A few more surveillance cameras around and we wouldn't be so far off that scenario.

Try turning off hardware acceleration in Chrome settings (Advanced) as it seems to be a problem in many Linux distros. I have it turned off here in Kubuntu. This Reddit thread might interest you: Why...

Chrome 86.0.4240.75 is working fine here in Kubuntu 18.04.

I use Chromium in Manjaro because it is in the main repositories and updates very quickly while Chrome is in the AUR repository and...

You had me scratching my head there for a while. There are actually three official versions (Desktop Editions) of Manjaro (Xfce, KDE and Gnome) the fourth one featured on the download page is...

My favourite Desktop Environment for about 10 years now is KDE. Plasma 5 is the latest version of KDE. I've tried most Linux DE's but I've never liked any of them more than KDE. It's super...

Yeah, you pretty much described my brother exactly. He's just so used to Windows and isn't really interested in Linux. Each to their own I guess. :thumbs: Unlike me, he's not a computer nerd. :nerd:...

Dare I say the "L" word here ... Linux to the rescue!

I'm running Manjaro Linux on two nine year old HP EliteBook laptops without problems. If you haven't any Linux experience Linux Mint might...

Yes I agree, Google really is the fastest way to find fixes for these problems. I google everything for Linux problems, I just prefix the query with "Linux Kubuntu" or "Linux Manjaro" or whatever...

I'm in the process of switching to Manjaro just now. I've been running Manjaro KDE on my laptop for nearly two years and when Kubuntu 18.04 gets too old on my desktop PC I'll be installing Manjaro...

Unfortunately the alias Kame suggested didn't work correctly because it contains the same syntax error at the end. To fix this try--

"echo "alias skypeforlinux = "env...

I can answer this one: try "cp ~/.bashrc ~/.bashrc.bak"

Just a simple syntax error ... I thought you would have spotted that by now B.M? ;) :blush:

Finally, after so long we get a Linux question and it's about something I know nothing about not having a smart TV or a Chromecast device and no experience with "casting" to date. :lol:

Sorry, I...

+1 for "I don't care about cookies" Chrome extension. I've been using it for about a year without any issues and it certainly works.

I'm going to do the same here. I am in the process of getting fibre hooked up via Voyager/UltraFastFibre and I went with the upfront purchase of the HG659 router as well. It's in limbo though as I...

I can recommend Voyager ... I didn't know they were rated by Consumer so highly, thanks piroska.

I've phoned them a couple of times over the last two years and had an immediate reply both times...

I wouldn't leave the battery in the laptop if you are always leaving the charger plugged in. My brother learnt the hard way about doing that as his laptop battery died after about a year doing that....

That's a really helpful site. I've bookmarked it, but hopefully won't need it. Now, it's about time I did another backup!

The thing with finding answers to Linux problems online is to be aware how old some of the answers are. If it's more than five years ago (definitely if more than ten years) it will quite probably not...

I really meant Linux is immune to Windows viruses, etc. Even running Windows applications in Wine (Linux Windows compatibility layer) you are unlikely to infect the Linux host system. Not saying it's...

I've been a Linux guy for over ten years now, and exclusively for most of that time. Currently running Kubuntu 18.04 LTS on one desktop and Manjaro KDE on two laptops. I really like Manjaro myself...

I think it's a hardware problem, most likely their server is about to die.

I've been watching TVNZ On Demand for years without problems using Chrome in Linux (currently Kubuntu 18.04). There were issues some years ago necessitating the use of HAL, etc but not now. Firefox...

It sounds like the fan bearing has just worn out. It's common for desktop fans to wear out and make more noise as they get older, so it's just the same for laptop fans too I suppose. Although you say...

I think even 4Gb ram isn't enough for Windows 10 now. My Kodi box with a Core-i5 CPU came with 4Gb ram and worked OK for a while with Win10 Pro (build 1809) but ever since I upgraded to build 1903 it...
