I also noticed that a process that is lingering in all sessions is: system-config-printer/applet.py and I found this bug report: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=863227

Same with a Dell PowerEdge T610.
I think it has something to do with the Matrox Video Adapter and the driver is not loaded properly.
Though it made progress on desktops and laptops, too bad...

USB connection not showing up in dmesg but show in lsusb
I have a laptop and I encountered a strange issue after resuming from suspend:
No USB devices work (except a USB fan).
When I connect the keyboard, there is no reaction, the "Lock" LEDs that...

On another note, I found that Firefox 46.0 that comes with Ubuntu Mate 16.04 has...

How do you search in software boutique? For linux-headers, for example?
Just to confirm. Upgrading to 15.04 did solve all the issues. Thanks for the heads up on the EOL. I am looking forward to go to the next LTS so I will keep upgrading.
Since it is possible that I might have upgraded a bunch of packages from 14.10, I decided to simply upgrade to 15.04. I figured that this should upgrade everything or at least leave it the same...
Thanks for the tips, I managed to get further and I found what caused all this mess.
After I installed Ubuntu-mate, I was disappointed to see that caja does not have the Video Properties tab, and I...
Thanks Ian for the quick reply.
How would I go about "determining which set of packages created the problem". Teamviewer for example has been long removed, and gThumb was installed from utopic...

The correct syntax would be:
sudo apt-get install xscreensaver
Alternatively, you can use Synaptic Package Manager to search for individual packages and install them. I find it much...

I think there is a bug somewhere but I can't find it now.

This drive is not critical for me, it is only the OS on it, and the whole computer is scheduled for decommissioning soon.
