I could not get my Brother HL-2280DW scanner recognized by sane in Kubuntu 17.04. The printer works great with the Brother driver and sane-find-scanner would find the scanner every time, but not...

I upgraded from 15.10 to 16.04 with no problems. NVidia driver updated fine. VMWare Workstation 12 even still works. Very smooth upgrade.

I upgraded from 15.10 with no problems. My NVidia driver updated correctly and VMWare Workstation 12 even still works. One of the smoothest upgrades ever for me.

Upgrading theoretically preserves everything in your setup, including apps and settings. You should still backup, though, as there's always possibility of disaster (hard drive crash, comet impact,...

qishoushi,

Read post #12 on how to fix Yahoo mail.

Thanks, Jenks141, for the info on the Yahoo mail webapp. I, too, had it already installed on my desktop before upgrading. I disabled all webapps in Unity Tweak Tool and then Yahoo mail worked fine in...

Upgraded from 12.10 on my desktop last night. The upgrade process went flawlessly. After restarting, I had a few small issues. Yahoo Mail no longer works right in Firefox, though FF is the same...

You have to manually uninstall Workstation 9 before upgrading Ubuntu, then install Workstation 9 and then a patch for the new kernel. The specific instruction and patch are on the VMWare forums.

This problem was solved long ago with updated NVidia drivers, which have been in the Ubuntu repository for months now.

You're welcome. I'm sorry that we couldn't sort it out.

Once you manually load the driver as I described, you do not need to go to Additional Drivers. However, if you do go to Additional Drivers it should offer you (probably older) drivers for your card....

OK, that was not the correct approach. Download the README file from nVidia that goes with the 295.53 driver and read through it. Then enter 2D mode in Ubuntu, hold down Ctrl-Alt-F2 to get a terminal...

OK, then for some reason, Ubuntu isn't finding your video card in order to suggest a proprietary driver. There is another approach. You can load the updated 295.53 driver manually. Try to search the...

Yep, the output looks OK. Have you tried to force it into 3D? Logout, then type your password in and then click on the icon in the upper right of the password dialog. Select Ubuntu, then hit Enter....

If you have an nVidia card, it should show up under additional drivers. Sounds like the system isn't recognizing your card. Type "lspci" in a terminal without the quotes, and see if your nVidia card...

Got to the gear icon on the upper right of your screen, click on it, then on System Settings. Click on Additional Drivers and wait for the system to check your video card. When the window with the...

It looks from that error message like you have a mix of architecture packages installed. i686 drivers are for 32-bit installations, not 64-bit.

Just boot into regular Ubuntu Unity desktop, start Compiz Configuration Settings Manager and set whatever you wish. If the settings manager isn't installed, you can install it from the Software...

I am on 64-bit with an 8800 GTS card.

They have a Linux forum on their website. Once I uninstalled the 295.40 drivers, then installed the new ones according to their README, everything worked fine here. I'm not sure why it would fail on...

You need to uninstall the default drivers and install the 295.49 nVidia manually in a text environment. Please search this forum for the instructions, or read the README on the nVidia site.

AFAIK, you cannot view or access the file systems while an installation is running.

I don't know about backing out, but the user name must match exactly. Upper case counts.

You can always guess, and if you guess wrong, you can add the real user with all appropriate rights once...

Can you run Ubuntu in 2D?

Thanks for the heads up!
