We use BackupPC at work on an Ubuntu server. It has gotten extremely slow during the past 2 weeks and I haven't been able to figure out why. It always worked perfectly before. It takes about 10-15 minutes to start back up after shutdown. Any commands issued via SSH are also extremely delayed. There is more than enough RAM and the CPU is barely touched. Here's my out put of top: Code: top - 14:56:10 up 1:10, 1 user, load average: 1.04, 1.38, 2.14 Tasks: 116 total, 1 running, 115 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 0.0%us, 0.1%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.8%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.2%si, 0.0%st Mem: 8080268k total, 658308k used, 7421960k free, 281704k buffers Swap: 419430…

When I was using Zorin OS I was having a problem with it freezing up for no reason. I did a lot of investigating, that included taking my computer to a profession shop to have the hardware tested, ram reseated etc. Therefor I know that all my hardware is currently fine. Recently I installed LXLE 12.04.4 64bit RC LTS, and then I erased it and installed LXLE 14.04 64bit. I'm experiencing a problem with it. When I click on "shut down" you can hear the computer start to shut down but not completely. I think what I'm hearing is the hard drive turning off but then the motherboard and video stays on. The system completely freezes in this position. You haft to hold down the p…

by Guest John Callaham- 0 replies
- 541 views
Apple is reportedly increasing the amount of time buyers of its iPhone and iPad products can take before choosing whether or not to purchase its $99 AppleCare+ extended support from 30 days to 60 days. The new policy, which was previously rumored, will certainly give buyers of Apple's two biggest hardware products more time to decide if they really want to pay close to $100 for AppleCare+. The program adds two more years of support for its products, along with replacement plans if an owner breaks an iPhone or iPad up accidentally up to two times. The new 60 day period will be available everywhere except for Japan, where it will remain at just 30 days. At the same …

Editor’s note: The following is a post from Thomas Kohnstamm, a writer for microsoft.com/stories. To say that a lot was at stake would be an understatement. The San Francisco launch event for Office for iPad was Satya Nadella’s first appearance as the CEO of Microsoft in the Bay Area tech industry and media epicenter. And Office for iPad represents Nadella’s determination to create a mobile first, cloud first Microsoft that is committed to making cloud services like Office available on every device, no matter the platform. As Nadella’s co-presenter, Julia White, general manager of product marketing for Office, was praised for her energetic hands-on demo – but also h…

I used my computer, casually and Windows Explorer keeps crashing and restarting. Not way too much of a problem(although it's annoying and irritating), I have XWindowsDock and 8Gadget on the desktop. I use them to open programs although some don't work and say you lack privileges to open Opera and other programs . Google Chrome doesn't do anything, Mozilla Firefox says it's already open but might not be responding, and Internet Explorer and Safari work fine although Internet Explorer takes a significantly longer amount of time to start up. I also have Steam, which says it's checking for and update but closes itself. Windows Explorer(File Explorer) would work but started…
