samsolite:
I'm installing from a USB flash drive. Can I locate the gdisk on it?

Sorry for the late reply. If you have internet connection, you can install gdisk from the internet : apt-get install gdisk

samsolite:
I'm having the same issues as you are. I want to dual boot my HP650 with Windows 8.1 already installed on one partition.

When I tried installing Linux Mint the installation process couldn't recognize the other disk space.
(See attached photos)

I've also tried using GParted, yet same thing.

Has anybody successfully dual booted HP650 please give me tips on how to go about this.

I'm guessing the partition table is gpt, not mbr. If you're sure secure boot is not enabled in the bios settings you can install gdisk, apparently it's a tool that can convert gpt partitions to mbr. You can install it from your Linux bootable disk

FrankLampard:
It seems Microsoft and this Hardware Manufacturer have signed a deal that won't allow other OS's to install on the hardware.

How do you know? You can't disable secureboot in the bios?

check this link:

You would probably have to delete the ubuntu partition before you can create a new partition

FrankLampard:
In tutorials online I normal see, install along with Windows

Well I always use the last option, it's just that it's a little more technical than "install alongside windows" , but if you're familiar with partitioning your harddrive and all that sort of thing, you can select the last option

FrankLampard:
I don't understand Sir.

The last option on that screenshot

FrankLampard:
What is wrong guys, I can't install Ubuntu along with Windows 8.1 on my HP 650.

I have disabled fast boot, yet still getting the pix below.

Pls help.

What's wrong with choosing "something else"?

Hello,
Some useless apps keep installing themselves on my
android phone every time I connect to the Internet.
I'm using OPSSON P9. I uninstalled those apps
several times they still come back whenever I restart
my phone , I've even disabled my android from
installing apps not from Google play store still the
same results . I don't know if there's anyone in the
house that has the solution to this problem. Has this
happened to anyone here too ? How did you stop it?


Cc honsule, puskin , dragnet

Is your phone rooted?, install from unknown sources unchecked? Maybe you should get a firewall app like opera max or no root firewall and disable internet access to all apps and enable one by one - so you can identify which app you enabled that initiates the apps downloading (and your phone doesn't need to be rooted to do this). Afterwards, if it isn't a critical system app you can uninstall it

guyXander:
My data is turned of in settings after flashing on cm 12.1-20150527-OFFICIAL-d2att.
I don't know of I'm in the right place but I'm thinking of flashing on the newest nightly available. Would that solve my problem?

Note: I'm okay with my present upgrade except for this glitch/bug
If I'm in the Wrong thread please direct Me to the right one.

Go ahead, try a nightly, maybe it will work better than the stable. I have tried a stable that was a lot more buggy than the nightly before. Might be a good idea to read the changelog of the nightly first

holuphisayor:
It worked on the main terminal..but not working on terminal running a script..thanks

if you ran a script, you can redirect the output to a file with either ">" or ">>" command e.g.: script.sh > file.log

of course if it's boot messages you're looking at, that is not going to work

holuphisayor:
thanks

Hope it worked

holuphisayor:
How do i copy from terminal to notepad?
Am on archlinux

From the terminal type ctrl+shift+c or ctrl+insert, either of them will work
and to paste use ctrl_shift+v or shift+insert

Seequadry:
Thanks...... The problem av been resolved

Funny enough i got a similar problem on my infinix hot note last night when i tried to install a new update. I had to download the stock lollipop rom and tools from their website and install that before i could boot my phone properly

Seequadry:
Av tried all dat..... It's not going still

You might have to google stock rom for your phone, copy to your sdcard and install that like vakinola1 said

samuel19222:
please help, since i bought my phone (alcatel one touch pop) since december last year, i cant send text message, when ever i tried to send it, it always saying text not sent

What network is the sim you're using?

pharmtech:
Pls gurus in the house help amateur, how would I know better Android phone that has faster internet surfing. I'm using innjoo fire with airtel subscription of #1000 for 1g, unfortunately it cant surf with almost applications due to bad network but doing well in friend's Motorola hd.

What applications have you used to try to surf? Does it surf well when you are connected to a Wi-Fi network?

fabolakers:
That's the problem. I don't see the sent messages. What I get is just a pop up message that says last SMS cost 10 or 15 naira. But I don't receive it sometimes. It just happened again. The first charges was from my mtn line this morning and this one is from my glo line which is 10. No trace of SMS sent in sent folder. I've installed a new OS then I started installing all my apps one by one to monitor it. At first I wasn't charged throughout last night till this morning until I started using internet and the first app I installed was MTK engineering which I used in tweaking my IMEI number in other to use GLO BIS. After that I installed Nova launcher and the charges started after that. So I don't know which is giving me the problem. If it's between changing of IMEI, installing MTK engineering or the Nova launcher.

Eeyah sorry. Now I have one question, does it ever work when you're not connected to the internet? If not maybe you can install an internet firewall app like norootfirewall and use it to enable only certain apps from connecting to the internet

fabolakers:
It's Gionee M5 running on Android 5.1
I've done update twice, cleared my phone cache, did factory reset twice and it's still happening.

Maybe you should try using a different sms app. Do you see the sent message in the message log?

fabolakers:
Engineers in the house, please help, ever since I started using my android phone, it has been sending premium text messages without my permission. Both sims are sending the message. MTN charges ₦15 which is sim 1 while GLO charges ₦10 which is sim 2. I've called customer care of both network and they're not helping. Glo said the number is not showing on their side. Just a name which is USA 1. I've lost a lot of cash to this rubbish. My phone is Gionee M5. Please help.

Note: I don't see any trace of text message in my sent message folder but I some times get a pop up message which says "last sms cost ₦15 or ₦10 and sometimes I don't get it.

I think your phone might be infected. What's the model of the phone? I'm guessing it's running jellybean (android 4.3 or earlier)?

Habholarji:
my architecture is 64bit and that Linux I loaded before is also 64bit....I have downloaded ubuntu15.04 and and also mint 17.3 but I'm yet to load them. just don't wanna go over the ish I faced before

you can safely install ubuntu

austino677:
Am just having hard time booting manjaro os on unetbootin....error 15 file not found..but if i go back to main menu selecting start it will boot up..at times kernel will fail..but in linux mint i don't face such....no error 15 am running them thru my hard disk no pen drive or cd..dunni if someone can help out

I haven't tried manjaro before. what version is it by the way? By the way if you want help on booting, you will have to upload a snapshot of the boot error message. Also, what's you pc model and specs? Am i right in guessing cam with win8/win10 preinstalled?

Barywhyte:
A system with windows8 preinstalled is a good hardware with capability for virtualization. U can't lose ur license that way. Hardware are cheap these days.

Actually, if you buy any new low end pc today, it will probably be running win8 or win10. That doesn't mean it can handle virtualization properly (i.e. without significant performance lag)

APCLyingBastard:
Since I was born in this Nigeria I know of only 4 religious holidays - Christmas, Easter , Eid el Kabir and Eid el Malaud.

Just today Buhari has added another religious holiday by declaring December, 28 a public holiday.

According to Buhari we will observe mohammed's birthday for the first time in the history of Nigeria. The Federal govt has declared December 28 as a public holiday to celebrate mohammed's birthday.

Waiting for them to declare Friday a work free day and Sunday the beginning of the work week. They can also replace our Gregorian calender with that of the Islamic calender and take us to 1426 since we are heading to the stone ages.

Yeye

Actually December 28 is a public holiday because boxing day (december 26) - which is usually a public holiday, falls on a saturday

Nigeria has always celebrated 3 muslim holidays - Eid el Kabir, Eid el Maulud AND Eid el Fitri. Eid el Maulud is actually Mohammed's birthday, so it's not new. The only thing different about it is that we already celebrated it earlier this year. This is possible because the Islamic calendar (354 days) is shorter than the Gregorian calendar (365 days)

Barywhyte:
Compare to the advantage of havin access to several hardwares/OSs at the same time? And by the way, how much is this hardware you are talking? Of what use is celeron processor to windows 8 or windows 10? Except you are using Linux where hardware is not a big issue. (excluding redhat)

Yeah, but what if the system came with win8 pre-installed? should the person just forfeit his license?

Barywhyte:
I just don't understand why people keep talking about dual boot when there are free virtual machines out there. And for those having problems with dual booting, just know that if your machine's firmware is UEFI, probably preinstalled with legacy OS, u can as well forget about successful dual booting, thanks to the Microsoft jealousy

I will give you one reason why dual boot rather than use vms: performance, shared resources. Especially if your hardware is not that powerful. Imagine using a vm on a celeron processor or atom, or if you have limited ram. Not everyone can afford the latest/most powerful hardware. Does that mean the person has to suffer horrible performance because he wants to try out a new os?

Zico0:
Something is eating my data on my techno android phone but I don't know what. Maybe some app. Someone help me out, I beg.

Why not install opera max? It compresses data to an extent. Also with it you can see the amount of data each app uses, and also restrict any app of your choice from using the network

That 1.3 GB should be for 64-bit system and the 600 MB for 32-bit architecture.

Actually, going by that link, the 32-bit is about 1 gb, the ~600 mb is for the server version
