Computer issues

Mar 08, 2013 13:30

My previous OS, Linux Mint, had some kind of bug and I finally grew sick of it, so I asked my father to install something else. He chose Ubuntu and let me test it on his computer to see how I liked it. It seemed pretty cool. That was two days ago ( Read more... )

Good to hear your computer is back to normal! That sounds like quite a frustrating experience.

I had a milder case of this with Chrome. One time I tried it out in Japanese, only to find it refused to be put into any other language. The only way to get it back to English was to reinstall it, but I didn't want to lose my bookmarks. So it's still in Japanese. ¯\(°_o)/¯

Turns out my computer is not working again. It's not over... orz

I'm pretty sure it's possible to save your bookmarks by exporting and then importing them. I'm not sure how this actually works, though, (or if it works with Chrome...) so I suggest that you look it up in the 'net. There might be a way!

It's terrible when you think you've got it working again and then ... no dice. I hope you can find out what's wrong with it!

I thought I'd leave it in Japanese since it actually forces me to compute in Japanese. XDDDD But that might be an option as well. Thanks!

Damn, not working again? That sucks. D: Hope you'll get that solved, too.
(But I'll take you forever for NOT taking a pic of your father's face when it turned out the whole system was in Japanese. It must have been priceless. XD)

Yeah, I just don't understand what the problem is. The PC is practically brand new and yet it's been giving me this kind of trouble for many, many years. I'm beginning to think that either my old HDs are corrupted somehow, or the problem is me.

Nah, actually, I wasn't present when my father first discovered the system was in Japanese. I'd taken a break for a quick snack, fully believing that my father was just making sure all the programs were installed, then I came back and the dialogue was as follows:

Me: Hey, dad, you must be tired, why don't you get some res--WTF, WHY IS EVERYTHING IN JAPANESE?!! ºДº

Dad: I don't know! XD;

Me: What did you do?!?!?!

Dad: Nothing! D: It was like that after we rebooted it! (I'm innocent, I swear!)

... So, I suppose my own face must have actually been funnier than my dad's. XD
