I bought a device from ThinkPenguin specifically created for Linux that stopped working when I upgraded to 17.04. I left a message with their support people and will post again when I have a reply.

As I tend to use GUI solutions to pass on to Windows refugees, I solved it with Nautilus via the administrative plugin available in Synaptic. Opening the Properties in administrative mode allows one...

There's a neat, dead easy to use app called Aptik which backs up all your apps and settings. The latest version of Ubuntu doesn't want to install it via the terminal, but you can get the .deb file on...

I don't have an answer, but I'm running three flavours of Ubuntu; Unity, Gnome and Mate. The Unity one is slow at reading the package list but there's no problem with the other two.

My disk...

There's a nice GUI application called Aptik which is available in the PPA's. If you have an external hard drive you can easily backup and restore with a few clicks. One caveat - use the same username...

Some kind soul posted this fix on AskUbuntu:

sudo rm -fR /var/lib/apt/lists/*

It will take you to another command prompt and you should be able to run apt-get update normally. It worked for me.

If you're expecting a bug free version before Alpha 1 is released, I don't know where you're going to find it.

I've been running Ubuntu Gnome 14.10 on newer and older (2006) laptop partitions since Alpha 1, and backward compatibility doesn't seem to be an issue. There is a problem with...

For what it's worth, this is not a universal fix and breaks the wireless connection on some machines. Mine runs fine on the bcmwl-kernel-source but not at all on the nonfree version.

You will probably need to install the pepperfhashplugin for Chromium, if that's what you have installed. I use Ghostery and also needed to enable Conviva.

The pepperflashplugin installs the latest...

I expect it will have to wait until 19 December.

For a pre-alpha, it's quite stable. I found it easier to get my Broadcom internal wireless adapter working than previous versions, not even requiring a reboot after installing the needed files.

I use Cairo-Dock for my frequently used apps. The latest version has a search function.

If any of you are using cairo-dock, disable the auto-starting, reboot and see if the problem persists. It resolved my suspend problem and the reboot/shutdown functions were reactivated as well.

It's probably easier to install grub-customizer from the PPA. It doesn't reorder the grub menu, but it does allow for choosing the default boot.

It happens to me when opening a pdf from a Microsoft Help Attribution Definition File source. Opening others from the web isn't an issue.

Mine, at least the 32 bit version of 12.10 hangs for a full minute at nf-conntrack, but only for 5 seconds on my 64 bit version of Quantal.

Any ideas why this is happening?

I have the same issue in 12.10. It would be appreciated to get some response.

Get rid of all your fglrx and nvidia files except nvidia-common. Worked for me, and they aren't installed at all in 12.10.

I just did a fresh install of 12.10 on a desktop that was originally built on Hardy Heron. All the stuff accumulated over the years was slowing it down.

Now it boots in seconds and runs much...

I have the same problem with my 64 bit Quantal partition. It doesn't happen on every reboot, but it's annoying when it does.

I had copied a file from my other partition into the folder containing the encripted files. Moving it out solved the problem.

In Firefox, right click on a blank area of the page and select 'view page info'. Under the media tab there may be what you're looking for. Select and save the file.

Thanks - changing from 'freedesktop' to 'ubuntu' restored a host of missing sounds.

If gksu is installed, try alt+F2 then gksu nautilus.

You should be able to open and edit any file from there.
