I've noticed something which may (or may not) be connected. I'm missing the "sleep" option from the kickstart menu. It only has restart and shutdown. At the original lightDM login screen the sleep...

So I've been running the last several releases of Kubuntu or a KDE+base install of Ubuntu system on my T500 Thinkpad.

To upgrade versions I always do a fresh install, as I find it usually makes...

Yea... the same thought occurred to me, I just think it's silly that a release should move backwards in capability. Having said that however, I just came to this board after attempting just that:...

Sooooo.... I tried version 14.04 clean install using minimal cd and pulling other needed packages and desired desktop several months ago.. so many bugs I went back to 13.10 (Have been using this...

That thought actually occurred to me as I was writing my last post but, having no experience contributing to the community doc's, didn't know where to start, and assumed contributers would be need to...

I got the Adobe .deb to install fine, but it refused to run. The problem was solved by installing some libs:


sudo apt-get install libxml2:i386 libstdc++6:i386

I'm sure there are more libs...

Thanks piotrl,
I did actually have all the drivers installed from the Epson site. I figured out my problem though! There was an old job in the print queue(from a windows computer on the same...

Hi Piotri, I have the exact same printer and version of 'buntu (although I am running KDE instead of Unity).

I just installed this printer recently, and am having some trouble with it. It works...

I'd love to hear a real solution or link to a real solution for the correct way to implement this much vaunted, but so far just a pain-in-my-A$$ "multi-arch support" for ANYthing that used to rely on...

marking this thread as solved is very innapropriate...

I normally have a great bit of sympathy with open source developers. i understand it takes time to reverse engineer code, or write your own to run on new hardware with little help from...

Thanks for the input! Sounds like it might be one of those "quirks" of ubuntu being so gung-ho on sudo this or sudo that.

I'd love a more definitive and final answer if anyone out there in...

I hate the Unity interface, I agree with you on that. However, the rest of you're "rant" is a bit unfair. You can still configure Ubuntu however you like, especially given that you can change you're...

+1 for Mastablasta's suggestion.

I'm actually running that exact setup of 13.10 on this laptop. First I used the mini.iso to install a base system, which you can dl here in your preferred...

anyone care to chime in?

When using the command "kdesudo" in the kde4 desktop on ubuntu 13.10, the terminal spits out a long string of information, some of which looks like error messages to my untrained eyes (and I also...

So I recently upgraded my Thinkpad T500 from 12.04 to 13.10. I was disappointed to discover that the proprietary drivers no longer support my discrete graphics card, a an ati Mobility HD 3650.

Solved this one. So simple it was ridiculous. The kde-plasma-desktop metapackage does not include the audio package you need to integrate sound control into your desktop.
terminal command:

sudo...

Thanks for the responses, I appreciate it!

Seems like enough commands are already "abbreviated" to an obfuscating degree... and now your telling me some of them also have aliases? *facepalm* :D

Anything? Would love some help with this.

I'm was troubleshooting another issue when this came up.

I found a website with a suggested solution for my problem, but it contains a terminal command I'm not familiar with, and it apparently has...

Yes, I figured that the Kubuntu version would have most little snags like this worked out. When I installed KDE it gave me an option at setup to choose LightDM or KDM. I chose KDM becuase that is...

No kde gurus out there to give a suggestion?

I'm thankful for any help and input offered on this. First, a brief background of the situation to help with troubleshooting:

In my quest to learn more about Ubuntu and linux in general, I decided...

In response to Vasa1 and Philinux,

This is a fresh installation of ubuntu 13.10. I made a base-system only install from the minimal.iso. Then rebooted into base system tty prompt. From cli, I...
