Please keep an eye out for my mom's navy blue 1996 Miata stolen from her office a block away from the Gladstone DMV. It has a red Retriever Towing sticker in the rear window.

Most recently happened with ~28 tabs, most of which were reddit, but a couple were imgur and youtube.

I have 16GB of ram with a 4GB swap, and after closing the imgur and youtube tabs and reloading the rest Chromium's task manager says it's using ~2GB of memory and Lubuntu's task manager says total memory use is ~3GB. I have no extensions installed.

How do I figure out exactly why all of my tabs keep crashing, and stop it from happening? I have run memtest for several passes with no errors.

The router is a TP Link TL-WR741ND that I put DD-WRT on. It works just fine right up until I connect it to a Comcast router/modem. Once connected it stops responding entirely until I disconnect it and reboot the router. The comcast modem keeps working just fine and connecting my laptop to the same port as the TPLink was connected to works normally.

edit: The modems IP address is 10.0.0.1 and the router is 192.168.1.1, so it shouldn't be an ip address conflict.

I'm trying to set up a wifi bridge using 2 dd-wrt routers with directional antennas, but can't get it to work.

My router is in one building and I'm trying to set up a bridge to connect an access point in another building. Running a cable is not an option because there is a road between the buildings.

Every guide I've found for setting up a bridge is for an old version of dd-wrt that has different settings from the current version, and every time I try to set it up I can't get the DHCP forwarding to work and the routers start refusing connections.

Is there a current guide for setting up a transparent point to point wifi bridge using dd-wrt?

I started the upgrade in a terminal window by running "do-release-upgrade" and accidentally closed it when it was asking me to verify that I wanted to remove packages.

I am able to boot into recovery mode, and I tried running DPKG from there to try and fix the system, but that hasn't resolved my boot issue.

My /var/log/boot.log file is empty, so I don't know where to look to see what's going wrong.
I would rather avoid having to do a complete reinstall, so how can I fix this?

edit: fixed it by tethering my tablet to get online and running 'apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade' in the recovery terminal.

I'm using Windows 7 pro 64bit and Lubuntu 15.04 64bit with an Intel pcie wifi card. Nothing has changed (except maybe software updates) from before the problem and after (it started a few weeks ago), but it has slowly gotten worse.

Kernel: 3.13.0-39-generic

wifi: Intel 7260 AC

How can I track down the issue?

EDIT: Well, I've gone and broke it, so I'm marking this as solved because there's no "I made it worse" flair.

I don't actually use it as a phone because I can't afford a data plan that I don't use, so carrier doesn't matter as long as the device works offline.
I mostly use it for offline gps maps, games, and music/podcasts/audiobooks, with some voice calls over google voice on wifi (cell reception in my apartment sucks).

Must haves:
removable battery
micro sd card slot
headphone port
gps
wifi, 5ghz preferred.

Would likes:
16GB+
5-6 inch screen
long (8 hour+ in use) battery life
Android 5.0+

I have a tablet that I use and like, but it's unwieldy on the go, so I like using a phone as a more mobile tablet. What are my options for a low budget ($100 preferred, $250 max) replacemen

It kind of hurt. It was a powerful one that snuck up on me.

All of my google searches have only turned up info from 2 years ago that just talk about replacing Android with Ubuntu and using WINE in that.

Is it possible to run WINE or and Windows VM in Android on and Intel Atom based tablet?

The GM did the same thing to the players too. It might have involved one player stealing from the party, but I'm probably getting my stories crossed on that one.

My computer lost power while I was in Windows with an ExFAT formatted usb drive in use. When I rebooted Windows wouldn't show the drive, and when I went into Drive Management it said the drive needed to be initialized. I booted into my Ubuntu install, to try and recover the files first, and the drive works as normal.

Can I repair the drive without formatting? Or would it just be faster to format it and copy the files back on?
