hey I found the system monitor. you were correct; the cpu runs at about 50% until I start running a video. At that point usage spikes to 100%. I guess I will need to get a video card with gpu. Can anyone recommend a low-profile card (I think that is what I need). :-)~MIKE~(-: On Mon, Jan 5, 2

I'm an Archlinux user, and I would certainly NOT call that a good simple desktop oriented distro. Manjaro Linux, however, is derived from it, and it is very simple and well oriented for desktops. On Mon, Jan 5, 2015 at 7:39 PM, trent shipley wrote: > What is a good, simple desktop oriented dist

yeah? I remember uploading a video that was jumpy to youtube and it played normally. Does that bit of information narrow the problem? what is the command to get the monitor up? 'apropos monitor' isn't much help. :-)~MIKE~(-: On Mon, Jan 5, 2015 at 6:54 PM, Joseph Sinclair wrote: > Mike, > Th

I have no idea about GnuCOBOL - I remember being fond of Cobol though. WOW I took Cobol in 1983 and 1985. Back then it was required at the UofA and I think Pima College as well. I'm sure there must be high demand for those skills today. The City of Tucson had millions of lines of Cobol in 1

Re: vlc

Mike, There are a few probable sources of the behavior you're experiencing: 1) You may have a video chip that doesn't have good support in Linux, or at least not good enough with respect to video display to handle AVCHD video. 2) Your computer main CPU may not be up to the task of decoding the v

libvlc and avcodec.make sure these are updated to latest, also see if there are alternatives to these codecs for Ubuntu. I once had installed the "minimum" of codecs and ran into issues. The problem was resolved updating to a different codec. Id look into and see what these do, then look for

Otherwise, if they logged in as root, you can see all root logins via: last -da | grep root The latter won't tell you what they did, only: history | less will show you recent commands, but on most systems that's limited to the last
