• "new" laptop

    From Orbitman@46:1/138 to All on Thu Jul 6 20:21:38 2017
    Just got another "new" laptop. By that, I mean it was given to me. Only
    problem this one has (and still does) is the previous user set a BIOS supervisor passwords so I'm limited on what I can change in the BIOS. After searching everywhere, I have found that only Toshiba could clear this
    password. Every trick I've tried has not worked :/ I'm not able to change
    the boot order and it's set to boot the hard drive only.

    So, this evening, I took the drive out, put in my main system (The
    Mothership) and loaded up Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with Gnome Shell. Popped the
    drive back in the laptop and updated everything. Only think that doesn't work is the touchpad. It worked on the live CD...so I'm sure I'm missing
    something. I'm posting from it now with a wireless keyboard and mouse.

    It's a nice Toshiba Satellite 64 bit machine. It'll make a good addition to
    my other three systems! Two laptops, two desktops and one server.

    On to the next project!

    Thanks!
