Q I have a Samsung ARM Chromebook with Ubuntu 16.04 armhf. Is it possible to run virtualization software, specifically for running an x86 OS?
A What you need is emulation, not virtualization.
Q I tried to run Lubuntu 16.04 on a Compaq d530 computer to no avail. The live version will not work. The installer will run, but it will not boot once installed. Is there any hope?
Here is the hardware: Pentium 4 cpu 2.60 GHz 2573 MB RAM Integrated graphics
A Go to the Community Docs and figure out how to use nomodeset. (Thanks to ajgreeny in the Ubuntu Forums). Also install xserver-xorg-video-intel.
Q Having an issue with Xubuntu 16.04. When I insert a Video DVD, they will not auto-mount. I can force the system to mount the DVD by going to VLC and pointing the program to /dev/sr0 and then everything works.
What makes this strange is that Data DVDs and CDs both automount with no issues.
A (Thanks to kansasnoob in the Ubuntu Forums) It's a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1577768
The fix will land in Yakkety very soon, then we'll have to do a SRU to get it fixed in Xenial. https://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/util-linux/util-linux.git/commit/?id=55ad13c26fe5d0e606be5a83937f31b8cf576588
Q I have an external USB hard drive which I use with my laptops (running Ubuntu or Linux Mint), but also with other computers running Windows. It is currently NTFS formatted, although reformatting it would not be an issue. I wish to protect its content by encrypting it.
A (Thanks to atl45 in the Ubuntu Forums) You could encrypt the drive with VeraCrypt; create a VeraCrypt file container on the drive, or create a Veracrypt partition on the drive. VeraCrypt works just fine in Linux and Windows.
Q I have an Intel Skylake i5 NUC on which I have Ubuntu 16.04 LTS installed. I use two monitors, both of which have a DVI connection. I plug one monitor into the HDMI port using a DVI cable and an HDMI to DVI adapter, and another into the DisplayPort using a DVI cable and DisplayPort to DVI adapter. After installing the latest updates, the system hard freezes seconds after logging in.
A Installing the 4.6 kernel fixes the problem. The instructions are on the Ubuntu Handbook web site.
Q Can I run Corel Video Studio x5 on Ubuntu?
A It would appear not. There are alternatives in Linux. My preference is Cinelerra, mostly because of the tutorials available at the Cinelerra for Grandma website and on youtube.
