reordering options in GRUB

Hi, I recall before GRUB 2.x that it was not difficult to change the order of which the menu choices would be listed. Then with GRUB 2.0, it seemed to become difficult. Is it still difficult? Could someone lay out the steps for making permanent changes to the order in GRUB? Thanks. Glenn--

Ubuntu Mate 15.10 and WIFI

Hi, I just got a NUC PPYH for Xmas, and I installed a CF to SATA converter inside as the HD, and it's got 8GB of RAM. I booted to a live version of Ubuntu on an SD card, and seemed to connect to WIFI successfully, by going into Internet and networking and adding a WIFI connection. But when I

Installing Ubuntu on a partition without GRUB

Hi, I just installed Windows 7 on a NUC PPYH, and its BIOS seems to present boot options for separate partitions. During my install of Windows 7 from a USB stick, I messed up and wound up with two partitions, and one is a bit more than enough for Ubuntu. With sighted assistance, I have found

Re: gnome shell versus mate

Hi, With the exception of not being able to connect to hotspots other than my own router, I like Mate very much. This inability with Orca is indeed frustrating. In Gnome, one could access the top panel and locate available networks and connect. If anyone has found a way to do this with Mate, I

Re: Ubuntu 16.04 with Ubuntu Mate is it possible?

I have heard all the suggestions before that you have already gotten, and none of them work in Ubuntu, since version 15. You can go into networks and add a network, but you need to know the SSID and the type of network. I don't know why this has not been fixed to work with Orca. I have installed

Installing Gnome

Hi All, Thanks for the assistance so far. It seems that I have permission to my USB port for programming the radio after going through setting the dialout command. But I have a new problem and I wonder if it is the lack of a driver for this USB cable. The error is: an error has occurred failure
