    [all variants] Re: /home partition - is it worth it?

    Well, I would personally say it's worth it mainly because of the file system security. It's a lot easier to back up /home if it has its own separate partition in my opinion, and if a portion of your...

    If i'm not mistaken, much like how the windows operating system has an "uppers and lowers" filter located in its registry, I think that Linux does as well. The way to correct the issue within windows...

    [ubuntu] Re: Audio CD not mounting (DVD + blank discs fine)

    Hmm, well it just seems odd that it will mount a DVD but not a CD. It doesn't sound like the laser in the optical drive is bad because of that reason, which is why it leads me to believe there is a...

    [ubuntu] Re: Speakers weird noise on shutdown

    Yeah it is a common issue, however I don't think there is a way to fix it. If there is I'd love to know because I also have an HP with the same issue! It seems that it is a power based issue on...
  10. [ubuntu] Re: Everything lags (sound, mouse, graphics) every now and then

    Both "Pulse Audio" and "Totem" are taking up a decent chunk as well. Do you need both of those programs running at the same time constantly? I know you may be listening to music, but by only running...

    [ubuntu] Re: Malfunctioning system or Ubuntu related?

    Hmm that brings up a good point as far as the encryption goes. I will do some research and see what I can come up with. I have previously heard mixed reviews on whether data encryption is recoverable...

  17. [ubuntu] Re: Everything lags (sound, mouse, graphics) every now and then

    Do you have any processes running in the background that are sucking up a lot of your system resources. Generally system-wide lag is caused from a spike in processing, essentially due to a process...

  19. [ubuntu] Re: Lost partiton table on encrypted hdd
