I am running Debian right now, but I started out with Ubuntu and was an Ubuntu user for many years (since 2004.) Just wanted to say that just tonight I watched the movie "In My Country," based on...

@0n0w1c: Thanks for your interest. The output I get from 'lspci' is identical (17 lines) on either kernel 5.4.0-21 and -24, and does 'see' the network controllers:

07:00.0 Ethernet controller:...

I wanted to make this information available to anyone else running Focal beta, not so much to report a bug.

But, thank you for the suggestion. I could find no bug report facility on Launchpad, but...

I wish to report here that the current Linux kernel linux-image-5.4.0-24-generic breaks networking in the current beta release of Ubuntu 20.04:

BACKGROUND
I followed instructions for forcing a...

@archi2: I never saw such convoluted disk partitioning before. Looks like there are unused disk space, remnants of previous OS installations, with multiple filesystem formats. And there seems...

@archi2: Absolutely do not feel stupid! You're doing very well for someone who claims to be uncomfortable at the console, and you succeeded in attempting to boot previous kernels as Impavidus...

@archi2: The current version of Ubuntu is 18.04, but the following information is not version-specific.

I don't know if this is too late to ask, but did you try forcing a hardware shutdown by...

In response to MadMonkey1966's initial question, why Font Viewer has stopped working:

I saw the same behavior as you described consistently in Ubuntu 16.04 Unity (amd64, radeon graphics if it...

Ubuntu 15.10 wily: I recently used Unity Tweak Tool to simply reset defaults in the "Unity" group of settings, which immediately crashed the launchbar and menubar, leaving an empty desktop....

I upgraded my HP Pavilion dv6 3012he from 15.04 to 15.10 tonight with no major issues, very impressed.

Partway during the process I was prompted for a sitekey password for Tripwire, and had no...

Thanks for the script, CantankRus. I'm no programmer, but I'm guessing you're quite experienced with BASH. If I get a chance to test it, I'll report here. I do think it should work in 14.10 Utopic as...

@ben2talk: Thanks for a good contribution! As a test, I used the GUI methods, installed it from Software Center, where searching for "chameleon," it appears as "modern but not gaudy X11 mouse theme,"...

HP DJ1000 prints web pages with fore/background colors reversed
I haven't been able to locate any other user posts describing this symptom which probably first appeared several weeks ago. I only...

@Djzn.BR: Thanks for your confirmation. I use Xcursor.size 48 and cursor-scale-factor 2 on my HP dv6 laptop, and these settings were preserved in an upgrade from 14.04 Trusty to 14.10 Utopic.

@grumblebum2: Thanks very much for your clever testing and new key information. Your instructions are a keeper! All my cursors are now large. The Tweak Unity tool as well needs to be updated with...

Stinkeye's redglass-Large.tar.gz is also available in message #54 of this thread. I don't know how to link it in this message, but this collection may come in handy on future Ubuntu upgrades!

Best results I could have hoped for Upgrading! Apparently Adobe Flash Player for Chromium is no longer supported, as it was removed, which I easily replaced with Pepper Flash Player. Also, I was able...

Stinkeye,

Upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr has broken the .Xresources file setting. The cursor size (medium or large) set on the desktop in that file reverts to the default 24 when starting...

FWIW after 4 months, this also works (in Terminal or TTY1) without having to install anything:

> ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel && ls -l ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel

The second command...

The Privacy Options you refer to, except "include online search results," records the user's usage history, and doesn't have to do with the DASH Search function. On my system immediately after...

FOLLOW-UP FAILURE
After multiple successful suspend-resume tests, there are still some instances when the HP dv6 does not resume. Resume succeeds when Suspend is forced from the Shutdown menu or by...

Morphyxx, sorry you didn't get a timely response. This problem seems to occur with only a small number of hardware components. I recently tried the solution below after YEARS of avoiding 'suspend' --...

Stinkeye, thank you for the DMZ icon theme sets, they're definitely keepers, masterpieces of consistency. Oh yeah, you did a redglass-Large as well.

Oh, just a moment. I thought I'd tried an entry in ~/.Xresources before, but i think I was confusing it with an .Xdefaults file in the same location, that didn't work. This might just be a new...

Stinkeye,

I am confirming, Unity is now parsing the ~/.Xresources file, and it DOES fix the cursor size problem.

As you'd expect, this takes effect AFTER logging in. The LightDM/Plymouth...
