  1. Re: Is it safe to enable a Bionic repo in Focal?

    Right, but I had been thinking that if I had the 18.04 repo enabled, I would see the same as your screenshot, but for the 4.15 kernel since it is what I have on my system and it would be in that repo.
  2. Re: Is it safe to enable a Bionic repo in Focal?

    Yes, mörgæs, I do see the slow boot in a live boot of 20.04. I can see why you ask this, though. There could be something on my upgraded system that is causing the problem.
  3. Re: Is it safe to enable a Bionic repo in Focal?

    That's what I have been doing so far, and it is easy. I was concerned about not getting notice of security updates, although when one is issued, I seem to find out about it quickly enough from...
  4. Is it safe to enable a Bionic repo in Focal?

    My problem, in a nutshell, is that the 5.4 LTS kernel doesn't work properly with my iMac computer; it takes over 3 minutes to boot, about 2 minutes to wake when the display goes to sleep, and about 2...
  5. [ubuntu] Re: 20.04 software update wants to remove my working kernel

    Well it seems that the decision has now been taken out of my hands. The Bionic repo that must have contained the 4.15 kernel files I needed to boot has been removed from my installation, and I didn't...
  6. [ubuntu] Re: 20.04 software update wants to remove my working kernel

    I installed the 20.04 beta over 18.04 on the day it was released. I have run Software Update every day, and the option to delete the 4.15 kernel only came up today. Maybe that was because today was...
  7. [ubuntu] Re: 20.04 software update wants to remove my working kernel

    Hmm. If you're right, this could be a problem. I know that deadflwr is right in that I only see the 4.15 kernel because I upgraded from 18.04. (On another computer where I upgraded from 19.10 I see...
  8. [ubuntu] Re: 20.04 software update wants to remove my working kernel

    Thanks for the reply, speartip. Do you mean that 4.15 will no longer be updated in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS? That would surprise me because this kernel is an LTS version that is supposed to be supported...
  9. [ubuntu] 20.04 software update wants to remove my working kernel

    I have upgraded my 18.04 installation to the 20.04 beta when it was released. Up until now, everything has worked well. This morning when I went to update 20.04 (using Software Update), among the...

    [ubuntu] Audio in browser but not music player

    This is actually a carryover from a problem I had two years ago, but was never solved. I am running Ubuntu 19.04. My internal speaker audio works in some applications, but not others. It always works...
  12. Loss of charge at hibernation - Dell xps 9365

    I recently purchased a Dell xps 13 2 in 1 (2018 edition) with the i5-8500Y processor. I installed Ubuntu 18.10 on it, and it is working perfectly except for excess battery drain at sleep. I am...

    [ubuntu] Re: cannot change default office application

    Maybe I wasn't clear and my last post might have been misleading. After an uninstall, everything goes back to normal and I can choose what app I want as default. It's only after I install that the...

    [ubuntu] Re: cannot change default office application

    nlee2, you were close, as the command pointed to /usr/bin/textmaker18free, but that file appears to be a script to run textmaker. And 1fallen, you were right as to where the mime file is; it's...

    [ubuntu] Re: cannot change default office application

    Thanks for sticking with me on this, nlee2. I once again reinstalled FreeOffice 2018, but could not find the target path of freeoffice2018/mime. Not sure what you mean by a portable app. Does this...

    [ubuntu] Re: cannot change default office application

    I discovered that installing FreeOffice 2018 either generates a file ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list or adds to it, and looking in that file, most of the entries are for FreeOffice 2018....

    [ubuntu] Re: cannot change default office application

    Irihapeti, I checked your forum link and this seems to be a different issue focused on icons rather than locking the default application for opening a file. But maybe they're related?


    Again, I'm...

    [ubuntu] Re: cannot change default office application

    I just did, but it neither moved FreeOffice from being the default application, nor allowed me to change that default. It must be doing something nasty to lock out that option.

    [ubuntu] Re: cannot change default office application

    nlee2, I found the setting in LibreOffice that you are referring to, but I don't see any options in Paths to set the default application for a certain mime type.

    [ubuntu] Re: Audio in Firefox but not in music players

    Thanks, Temujin. I did try the reset before, both with the command line and by deleting the files by hand. Sometimes this worked, but most of the time it didn't. This is what has been so frustrating...
