Thank you. I get it now.
BTW, I signed up for protonmail about 7 years ago FoC.
About 2 years ago they offered their version of VPN with a paid subscription.
I upgraded to the paid subscription....

Thank you. As I said, I'm back to where I was prior to my curiosity with openvpn.
Before I did that I was doing just fine logging into my protonvpn account using it through my browser and also...

About two weeks ago, I decided I would "try" using OpenVPN instead of my ProtonVPN paid acct.
Things went well for a while and it seemed to perform as expected; but I decided to go back to my...

Update:
I checked my BIOS (dated 2012) and yes, it shows TXT technology disabled.
I plan on leaving it that way because I don't have a reason to use a VM session.
However, now that I...

Thank you MAFoElffen

I appreciate the additional information and reference.
I'm certain I'll want to use it at some point.:)

Thank you. I will check the BIOS at boot and see if the VMX or VM-x feature is there.
I don't intend to create, setup or use a Virtual Machine. So I'll leave well enough alone regardless.

I have searched for this error msg already here to no avail.
I'm running an HP Elitebook 8640p 8GB memory 250GB storage

I get this error msg during boot, prior to ubuntu loading.

Initially, in the year 2000, I "heard" about Linux as a recreational user tool at IBM, from one of the software techs in my department.
I paid no attention because my primary work machine was...

Thank you! That's a bit of a relief.
With your advice and what you showed here re: x11vnc & ssvnc not requiring lightdm, then I'll go back to your original advice and drag my /home directory to a...

Hi DuckHook,

I have hesitated to do the manual copy of the /home directory to an external HDD.
Why?
Because I remembered or realized that, during an installation of a dpkg that required lightdm,...

Ok. I'll give it a try tomorrow and let you know what happens.
Thank you DuckHook!

I am considering installing again, however the only backup I have is in deja dup format, ie compressed.
So unless I can restore selectively from deja dup, I have no way of knowing which files to...

Thank you for the reply. You guessed correctly.

I used the Backup (deja dup) on 18.04.5 and the Restore option on 20.04.5.
What other details would help?
I'm guessing there may be a difference...

Hi.
I recently upgraded my HP Elitebook 8460P laptop from 18.04 LTS to 20.04 LTS.
I had backed up the files from the 18.04 version.
I installed the 20.04 version with a CD and all went well.
I...

I got my Downloads folder back with ALL files included. I found it in my /home/rick/.cache folder.
Thanks again for all your help.
I'll be upgrading to 20.04 LTS soon!

I discovered why the Restore failed. It was a powered USB hardware issue on my laptop.
I found that out when I tried running a fresh backup with a different external drive.
Once I switched to...

Thank you TheFu, for your reply.

As I said, I ran Backup (Deja-Dup) and selected 'Restore'.
It seemed to be going okay until it came up with an error that said the Restore Failed.

So I didn't...

Hi all,

I wasn't sure where to post this. I hope here is okay.

Yesterday I was trying to create a boot-able 20.04.4 CD from the iso in my Downloads folder.

I didn't even get to select the...

Thank you grahmmechanical!
Advice accepted.

Thank you. ActionParsnip

I'll jump to 20.04 LTS and then wait for April to jump to 22.04 LTS.

I don't use the SSD. I ordered it with a 250 HDD with Windows 10.
I switched out the Windows 10...
