Apparently, I messed up my config somewhere. After deleting everything plasma related in my home folder, everything works as expected.

Today, plasma started locking up. LXDE works fine, KDE does not. It will work for a few minutes. After several minutes, krunner (Alt-F2) locks up. Soon, plasma is not responding to input. I'm using...

At this point, this is really my last outstanding problems with Linux on the Surface Pro 3. If anyone knows what I can do to help debug this, I would greatly appreciate it.

I reinstalled upstart. Relying on systemd made it impossible for me to test other aspects of the system, so I gave up.

This isn't a snipe against systemd, but it isn't really working very well on...

Based on this GitHub repo, it looks like this could be a common problem under the 3.19 kernel, which is interesting because it apparently worked on older kernels. 3.19.x is all I have ever installed...

Truthfully, I bought the Surface for two reasons.

1. I was curious how much harder it would be because the hardware is made by MS.
2. This is some genuinely awesome hardware. The possibilities...

After installing Ubuntu on a Surface Pro 3, I am not able to see the status of the battery and when I unplug the laptop, the computer does not enter into a power saving state. For example, if I...

This is a few weeks old, but what happens if you hover your mouse over it, or right click on it? It shouldn't be hard to remove.

Good thread. Just installed Vivid onto a brand new i7 version of the Surface Pro 3. Most hardware worked out of the box. After following some of the advice / links here, I was able to get a few more...

After resetting a couple of times, I got tired of it and installed upstart. I reset the computer, and it booted like a greased pig.

Whatever the merits / demerits of systemd, Ubuntu isn't quite...

OK. I think you are correct. I just did a quick update and reset my computer.

And it got worse. A lot worse. I have to start X manually now with a good old-fashionned startx after logging into a...

I apologize. My comments should have included that information.

Yes. I am running Vivid and I am running Kubuntu.

I did not think about switch to systemd would cause such a slowdown. Ouch....

Howdy!

I have been installing linux onto computers and laptops since 1999 but this weekend something happened I have never experienced before. I bought a new laptop / tablet (Microsoft Surface Pro...

I have installed Ubuntu onto a Microsoft Surface Pro 3.

I confess - it is snazzy hardware.

But, my computer takes a long time, well over a minute to boot. I am not familiar with UEFI systems,...

Glad it worked for you.

It took me a few days, but I have more or less beaten this bug. I hope the OP logs in and sees this AND I hope it is useful for anyone else fighting this bug.
Disclaimer - I am running Kubuntu...

I upgraded my kernel last night and now the touch screen seems to work. But, Synaptiks still complains about not being able to find a touch pad (clearly it is mistaken) and I can't find any way to...

I am having almost the exact same problem you appear to be having. I haven't had any luck either and I don't see much written here about it.

Brand new Dell XPS 13 Developer edition. I did a clean...

Hey, thanks for that. I have been pulling my hair out at work. I'm on vacation next week and I hope to play with your ideas this weekend.

No. I do not have a MySQL login. I'm trying to VPN into a SQL Server database. The SQL Server system is not at .126. The .126 address is just a headless Linux box with PPTPD running on it.

The...

The database is not the problem. My configuration of PPTPD is the problem. The SQL Server system is a hosted server that is accessible only from a select set of white-listed IP addresses. I have a...

I have installed PPTPD onto a server that I control. I want to use it as a VPN to a SQL Server database that only allows connections from a white-list of static ip addresses.

I can connect to the...

Agreed. I commented that this bug affects me too and offered to test any updates or ideas.

This morning I did some poking around in Launchpad and found a bug that sounds exactly like my problem.

I just ran the updates. I'm...
