Thanks. But the lock is not the problem though is it?

The error message referring to a lock is a failure in this case. Pushing the user to go online to find all sorts of over-complicated or...

Is it safe to do those commands? Maybe the error message should include a button to do it? So the user can continue and the problem is really solved.

Thanks. I assume, once the Option is set to 'Daily' or whatever, and then the install error message occurs, switching it to 'Never' will not fix the problem right away? The install is still blocked....

Thanks. Sadly the error message did not say that. My daughter is talking of going back to Windows. Maybe changing the error message to add what you said would help people.

My daughter can't install Zoom because of this error:

And then attempting to Update gets:
All the online help we found suggests complicated IT solutions. But we need a user friendly solution. ...

On a new (vm) install of Ubuntu 19.04 in the Software center, a search for "arc" does not find the Arc Menu Gnome extension that is actually in the store.
I found it eventually by searching for...

It is called that because if you push your finger on the mouse wheel or track-pad UP, whats on the screen moves UP. Just like if you had a piece of paper on a table, if you pushed it UP, and it moved...

Thanks. I'd not seen ppa warnings before. I didn't really want to mess with ppas. But Digikam, which came installed with the distro, so is not some unknown source, had a bug which was fixed in a...

EDIT: See below:

Thanks.
I ran those commands and have no ppas, but still get the same error at Digikam install from the Software Manager:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:...

Yikes! How do I track them down?

Thanks. I added that ppa and tried to instal Digikam. But got the same error: Details:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

digikam: Depends: libakonadi-contact4 (>= 4:4.10) but...

Hello I upgraded Kubuntu from 14.04 to the released 14.10.
Before the upgrade I had been using a ppa to get the latest Digikam. 4.4.
During upgrade to 14.10 yesterday it warned that the ppas were...

It's horrible to install compared to Ubuntu one. You need some tech knowledge for Copy. And the installation instructions miss out important things that only geeks would know. Ubuntu One was easy....

I finally found out some answers.
1) Does it store the backed up data in a browsable folder structure. ANSWER: In compressed files. Not what I need. :-(
2) Can I select a non mounted backup...

OK. Thanks. Some forums prefer that.

Questions about Deja Dup:
1) Does it store the backed up data in a browsable folder structure, or in some format that I need a special program to access?
2) Can I select a non mounted backup...

Having used Ubuntu since Karmic and seen many improvements along the way, one thing that is a really inconvenient experience, that has not been resolved in all this time, and is partly caused by the...

The limitations of Unity bumped me off Ubuntu via Mint and Fedora onto finally Kubuntu. Kubuntu has the benefits of Ubuntu quality but with a flexible desktop environment. You just need to install...

If you don't know what a desktop environment is, then you probably don't know that you can install a new one and then you would not go searching for information about it. You would also not know if...

<facepalm> Luckily Canonical don't think that way.

Most won't even get as far as a wiki.

You have just used a load of terms that newbies have have never heard of before. Their first use of the friendly software manager will be an adventure. Nowhere, in the default interface of Ubuntu is...

Yes the flexibility is great. But most complete newbies giving Linux a try for the first time will not get as far as finding solutions to their problems deep in some forum. And changing desktop...

I replied to your post where you, personally, seem to get on with Unity. Whereas I think it is important that Unity is suitable for many different user types. Which is where it has been currently...

Yes. But desktop designers have to take into consideration all different types of users. Some are happy with the dash. Some are happy using the command line only. Some prefer using the mouse.
