[other] All the sudden I can't boot from external HDD with other Linux Mintview story

http://ubuntuforums.org – I installed Linux mint on an external hard drive and everything was going fine. I next wanted to test my windows to make sure it still worked. I set the Windows boot manager as the default boot option in the bios. Once I confirmed Windows was still working on my internal hard drive, I went back and to the bios to change the boot priority to the external drive with Linux. (Hardware)

[ubuntu] How to disable power button?view story

http://ubuntuforums.org – As I have mentioned the school MinecraftEDU server before, now I need to disable the power button. The computer is in a place where many kids are a lot, so we need the power button disabled so nobody can turn off the computer. I tried just unplugging the power button, and it didn't like me for doing so. All the fans sped up and the hardware went a bit nuts. (Hardware)

[ubuntu] SSH-RSA Keysview story

http://ubuntuforums.org – I can create RSA keys that work for Ubuntu-Ubuntu or Mac-Ubuntu but when I use puttygen to create keys on windows, I can't get them to work. I have read several tutorials and know about converting the private key for use with putty and filezilla.
