Well I just wanna give a heads up to people considering to use BleachBit and have systemback installed.

I found that bleachbit has done something to systemback on my system. It actually takes more than 20 min to load systemback. Not sure how to fix it but I been itching to install 2.8 LL.

Just wanted to let everyone know that after reinstalling systemback it still doing the long loading time thing.

Even after deleting all restore points the SystemBack is still taking forever to load (showing the drive working at 100%)

I've been having slow Web page loading for several weeks now. Finally, I ran tests against a couple of Windows boxes, and isolated the problem to my LL box.

The status bar of the browser almost always hangs for a second or more on "Resolving host...". This doesn't happen on the other units. All units are set to get their DNS addresses from the local router, which in turn points to quality DNS services such as OpenDNS. My Linux box is on ethernet, and I've tried Windows boxes on both ethernet and wifi.

It seemed odd that this would happen even when I had visited the same domain just prior, so I began to suspect the DNS cache. I did a little research and ran the command sudo /etc/init.d/nscd restart, and got back: "command not found"

I ran service nscd restart, and got back "unrecognized service".

It seems that I don't have DNS cache running on this machine. That would explain the problem. Does anyone have any insight on how to troubleshoot or rectify this?

Thanks.

I had a space problem: Oracle VB stopped working with the message:-

Location: '/home/citrixmanager/.config/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml', line 1 (0), column 1.
/home/vbox/vbox-5.0.18/src/VBox/Main/src-server/VirtualBoxImpl.cpp[534] (nsresult VirtualBox::init()).


Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
VirtualBoxWrap
Interface:
IVirtualBox {0169423f-46b4-cde9-91af-1e9d5b6cd945}

I copied the files across to another directory
I uninstalled VB Rebooted and Reinstalled but I still get the same message.
I sure hope some out there know exactly what to do!

Ubuntu Mate is running a poll at http://www.strawpoll.me/10006772/r on which Ubuntu based distro do you use. For fun let vote and confuse them.  ;D

Google Chrome broken again (Video)


I don't get any video just a black bock when looking at video on Youtube and Vimeo, I have updated Google Chrome and flash but made no difference Probably as youtube is not using flash player. HTML5 Video Player

Going to see if mate got an graffix card I can have or save for one.

I am trying to auto mount a hard drive connected to my router.  I have tried the suggestions from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1806455 but no dice.  Can you guys point me in the right direction? Thanks.

LL 2.8 Control center says I need to update.  I get a general failure error and it creates a log.  I have removed chrome a while back.  Any ideas?

I think I read on this forum that you could not upgrade from 2.8 to 3.0 because you have to reinstall 3.0. (I couldn't find it searching.) Why would something like what is this article http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/04/how-t...-16-04-lts for upgrading from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS work?  ???

It would save having to install/uninstall software, themes, icons, etc.

I recently installed the Ubuntu Software Center on Linux Lite as Lite Software is horrible (I would love the Ubuntu Software Center to be built in  LL, or at least an option in the installer). When I installed it, it also installed the Ubuntu Update Manager (which I also find better than lite-updates and every time I update using the Ubuntu Update Manager I get the following message:

My question is, is it safe or will it overwrite LL with Ubuntu?
