hello everyone,

I'm on ubuntu 22.04. Frequently when rousing my box from a sleep state after I've been away from it for a few minutes, the screen lights up and shows my name correctly, but it...

Hi Holger and TheFu,

Holger: your solution fixed my problem, near as I can tell. What is now mysterious to me is what purpose LD_LIBRARY_PATH serves, since the simpler syntax does everything I...

Hiya Fu,

I'm going to repost this on the Development subforum, as you suggest.

Comments on your comments.

First, I don't understand your desire to have me "prove" my claims. An odd request...

Hello everyone,

In /home/mark/myso I have placed libtest2.so with a symlink to libtest2.so.1.0 and a symlink from libtest2.so.1 to libtest2.so.1.0. This is a conventional arrangement of shared...

Hello OldFred,

Sorry I'm slow to respond. Got hung up trying to fix a broken printer. Anyway, the answer to your first question is that wireless worked just fine using the unetbootin stick. I'm...

Hello everyone,

Yesterday I finally successfully installed ubuntu 18.04 on a usb flash drive. Everything works fine except networking. According to "system settings" window the network adapter...

Hello OldFred,

Sorry I am slow to respond to your post. As mentioned to CSCameron, I finally did get 18.04 installed on a flash drive using the "something else" control. Where I ran into some...

Good morning CSCameron and Yancek:

CSCameron: Later in the day I painstakingly followed a variation on your instructions and successfully (almost) installed ubuntu 18.04 on an external usb drive...

Mr/Ms Cameron:

Thanks for the very detailed response to my query. It is much appreciated. Owing to the presence this morning of my grandson ("the small tornado") I have not yet had a chance to...

Hello Yancek,

Thanks for the response. I'm new to 18.04 and so I didn't know the meaning of the icons in the upper corner. But, I did find finally the logout option. Thanks.

If I try to...

Hello everyone,

I have a live 18.04 image on a unetbootin stick. My question is how to install from the unetbootin stick to a different usb device. I don't want to install to my hard drive...

Hi TheFu,

I'd do it the way you suggest, but the printer associated with my Ubuntu machine is no longer usable. I thought from stuff I was reading that somehow SAMBA could do the necessary...

Hello,

I have a small wireless LAN. On one node I have a Ubuntu 16.04 box (32 bit). I have a printer connected to a Win 7 32 bit box. How do I set about sharing the printer between these two...

Hello everyone,

I am trying to upgrade an R installation from version 3.2.3 to 3.5.0. I've experienced dependency problems when trying to build from source, so I would like instead to get the...

Hello Autodave and Deadflowr.

I suppose you're right. I hate to abandon a lot of software that I took considerable time installing.

Thanks for your help.

Deadflowr,

Ah, dear me. Now when I try to reboot and go into recovery mode, I can't get to the recovery menu. I selected the "advanced options" to try to get to the recovery menu. The machine...

Deadflowr,

I ran "fsck", and then "resumed" the boot. Same result as before: No mouse, no interntet, nothing shows up on the screen other than the wallpaper and a unmovable arrow.

Moving now...

Hi Deadflowr

OK. I discovered it is "shift" and booted to a recovery menu. The screen shows 9 different items, starting with "Resume" and ending with "system-summary". I'm guessing that "fsck"...

Autodave, HermanAB, Deadflowr,

I have a CD/DVD with 14.04 on it. The cdrom drive will not read it. It will suck it in, the drive pilot light flashes a few times, and then nothing happens. I...

Autodave and Frogs Hair,

It is not a total brick. I'm able to select the hard drive in the boot sequence (F9, F1) and following this the screen does come on and asks me to enter my ID. When I do...

Hello Everyone,

Somehow I managed to completely crash my 14.04 Desktop. The crash has knocked out internet, cd drive, mouse, and I can't boot up. I have no idea what I did. Without internet or...

Good evening,

I'm attempting to write masm32 style code and assembling with JWASM. I like the assembler a lot. Assembles and runs nicely under Ubuntu 14. Problem is: How do I run a debugger,...
