  CTRL + SHIFT + T doesn't work anymore, I tried it on Windows and Ubuntu. If I go to history > recently closed tabs and click on something, it works, it's just the keyboard shortcut that broke. The other tabs keys work fine.

  Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

  See basic troubleshooting: make a new profile:

  There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

  If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

• Is it possible to install Windows 7 and Ubuntu on the same partition?

  I'm a grad student and for my studies I need to ubuntu and Windows the long withit. Unfortunately in my laptop that only one partition is free. I would like to install Ubuntu inside Windows. Is this possible?

  No, this isn't a plausible scenario, the two operating systems use different file systems, Windows 7 uses NTFS and Ubuntu uses ext4.  Even if they use a common file system, it would still not be recommended.  If you have enough free space on the disk, you can shrink the partition, and then create a new partition on free space for Ubuntu, note that it still may be a bit difficult to implement correctly, you must have a knowledge base of the operation between the MBR and the boot so that it works correctly on the same hard disk.

  Have you considered installing Ubuntu in a virtual environment in Windows 7?  I think that this may be a better option.  Personally, the engine virtual without going I prefer VirtualBox , but some prefer VMware Player , which is also very popular.

• As of Windows XP support ends in 2014, will I still be able to get anti virus updates and all the months of security beyond 2014 patches

  As of Windows XP support ends in 2014, will I still be able to get anti virus updates and all the months of security beyond 2014 for Windows XP patches?

  As of Windows XP support ends in 2014, will I still be able to get anti virus updates and all the months of security beyond 2014 for Windows XP patches?

  From April 2014, no security/more operating system patches released at Microsoft (for the most part) for Windows XP.  It's a BONE death in the eyes of its creator.
   
  Your anti-virus software may or may not be supported - which depends on its own end of life such as decided by its supplier, and even if it is a Microsoft product, is not directly related to the lifecycle of Windows XP (you can say that as Windows XP came with no native antivirus/antimalware features.)

• How can I get rid of the top of the case. offers4u and "go around the web" pop-up windows and unwanted when links pop up windows is already turned off on my laptop

  I tried this software ad/malware and tried the launchdaemon corrections responsible extensions suggested and still can't find where they are hiding on my computer.  One of them adds unwanted links with green circular arrows on other Web pages and advertising windows with offers for similar products pop - up on Safari and Chrome.  They are driving me crazy, I even paid for the software adblocking, which serves to block the sites I want to open and still allows popups!

  You may have installed ad-injecting malicious software ("adware").

  Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

  Save all data first.

  Some of the most common types of adware can be removed by following the instructions from Apple. But before you follow these instructions, you can try an automatic removal.

  If you are not already running the latest version of Mac OS X ("El Capitan"), update or upgrade in the App Store you could adware to automatically remove. If you are already using the latest version of El Capitan, you can still download the current update of the Apple Support downloads page and run it. Still, some types of malware will be deleted, not all. There is no such thing as the automatic removal of all possible malware, either by OS X third party software. That's why you can't rely on software to protect you.

  If the malware is deleted in your case, you will still need to make changes to the way you use your computer to protect you from new attacks. Ask if you need advice.

  If the malware is not automatically deleted, and you cannot remove yourself by following the instructions from Apple, see below.

  This simple procedure to detect any type of adware that I know. Disabling is a procedure distinct and better still.

  Some legitimate software is funded by advertising and may display advertisements in its own windows or in a web browser while it is running. It's not malware and it may not appear. In addition, some Web sites display advertising intrusive popup that can be confused with adware.

  If none of your web browsers work well enough to carry out these instructions, restart the computer in safe mode. Allows to temporarily disable the malware.

  Step 1

  Please triple - click on the line below on this page to select it, and then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

  ~/Library/LaunchAgents

  In the Finder, select

  Go ▹ go to the folder...

  from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + v press return. Open a folder named "LaunchAgents", or you will get a notice stating that the file cannot be found. If the file is not found, proceed to the next step.

  If the folder opens, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected. Please don't skip this step.

  There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. If necessary, enlarge the window so that all the content show.

  Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "take a screenshot of a window." An image file with a name starting in 'Screenshot' should be saved to the desktop. Open the capture screen and make sure it is readable. If this isn't the case, capture a small part of the screen indicating that what needs to be shown.

  Start a reply to this message. Drag the image file in the editing window downloading. Alternatively, you can include text in the response.

  Leave the case open for now.

  Step 2

  Do as in step 1 with this line:

  /Library/LaunchAgents

  The record which can open up will have the same name but is not the same as in step 1. In this step, the folder does not exist.

  Step 3

  Repeat with this line:

  /Library/LaunchDaemons

  This time the file will be called "LaunchDaemons."

  Step 4

  Open Safari preferences window and select the tab 'Extensions'. If the extensions are listed, post a screenshot. If there are no extensions, or if you cannot launch Safari, skip this step.

  Step 5

  If you use Firefox or Chrome browser, open the list of extensions and do as in step 4.

• Satellite L855D-10J - 13.04 along Windows 8 Ubuntu Installation

  Hello

  the laptop came with a 64-bit OS of Windows 8 to address preinstalled.

  I wanted to also install Linux Ubuntu 13.04. 64-bit office.

  At the start of the installation of Ubuntu, is not giving me the opportunity to install Ubuntu with Windows 8. It is said, that it has not detected a different OS (called OS) on the disk. But there are 8 Windows installed!

  I am not competent in Linux operating system installations, I like fooling around with manual installation.

  In BIOS it is selected "UEFI Boot" and "Secure Boot" is disabled.

  The installation procedure has worked, but why he recognizes that there are already Windows 8 is installed.

  See you soon.

  Hello

  It seems that Ubuntu has problems to install alongside Win8.
  I've seen several posts in the various bodies in this regard.

  I have no solution 1 button for you. In fact, I have no real solution at all.
  Instead, I'd like to direct you to a (global) guide that may be helpful.
  But I suggest you to keep that you:

  (1) create a recovery media for Win8! In case things go wrong, you can freely download Ubuntu as many times as you want. WIN8 recovery media will cost you money in case where you have not created them.
  (2) make backups of your important data!

• The mouse no longer works on Satellite Pro A200-1F9 (on Windows and Linux)

  Hello. Suddenly, my USB mouse doesn't work on my satellite pro A200-1F9 laptop. I had this same problem on my Linux (Ubuntu Feisty) for the last week or two, but today was the first time that the mouse no longer works in Windows. Ideas for what's gone wrong? (If I boot Linux with the attached mouse, I get an error message when loading upward.) The mouse does not work it is logged at startup or I plug it later).

  Under Windows and Linux, the laptop still recognizes my external HD which also has a USB connection...

  Thanks, Shoko.

  In my opinion, you should test the USB feature. If you are 100% sure that the USB ports are working well check your mouse or try to use the other.

  Laptop mouse pad still works?
