My current Openshot is 2.4.
I have the 2.6.1 appimage in my home folder. Is...

Thanx for the suggestion re killall dhclient. Maybe I will read up on it first before trying it. KILLALL sounds ominous.
But after reading several threads about DNS problems, I still think my...

Already tried that. I ALWAYS use Google's 8.8... DNS servers.
Well, sometimes I use OpenDNS at 208.67.222.222 and 220... but they have a habit sometimes of arbitrarily blocking some sites for...

um.. I mean pings specifying IPs (and Tracerts specifying IPs) work.
But obviously Ping google.com does not. I have a nameserver or DNS problem.

On a desktop that dual-boots Windows-10 and Ubuntu 16.04, the Ubuntu system cannot resolve any urls.

I just upgraded from 14.10 to 15.04, and I happened to have a hardware clock set about 8 minutes behind. (Don't ask why)

Sorry, but lots of "newer" BIOSes no longer incude a floppy drive.

In my case it's an AWARD BIOS from 2011...

Anyhow I solved my problem - see below

Well,
sudo modprobe -r floppy

Now- how do I make this permanent? Well...

I added modprobe -r floppy to the /etc/rc.local file. This seemed to...

I spoke too soon!
There IS NO "floppy" or diskette device in my BIOS, as far as I can see... :mad:

Hi -
Just a minor annoyance-

I just upgraded an old Ubuntu 13.04 to the latest 14.10
I notice a device- "Floppy disk" on the side when I display my files with the FILES icon.
How do I...

OK will look at this.

Old Fred? Hey.. I am older than you...

I checked Windows "fastboot" and yes I had previously set it to "off" AND had completely shut Win8 down.

I managed to...

But I may have pressed the...

All apt-gets and Synaptics seem to be OK, and GRUB shows the Ubuntu 64bit 14.4 upon boot.

Upgrade? No, I was just doing the weekly update to 14.04.
And after updating about 30-40% it sat there for two hours whilst updating one program. So I finally cancelled the update.

I have the same "not syncing. No init found" on my laptop.
I just upgraded my Ubuntu to 14.04 on a laptop and on my desktop.
Both systems were dual-booting Ubuntu and Windows-8.
