I recently bought a new laptop (Lenovo ideapad 530S-14ARR). While testing the 5.x series (now currently using the latest 5.1 RC) I had 1 main issue - my touchpad doesn't work. With the 4.18 it works...

Well... that was quick... I only just realized that my options had changed (and I'm sure I didn't do it myself) in the terminal profile. Under the command tab, both items were ticked. After unticking...

Yesterday I had a partial upgrade on Ubuntu 18.04 (with developer options enabled). After the install, I am no longer getting a bash shell when I open Gnome Terminal. I just see the cursor in the...

Thanks everyone for helping me out with this.

So what I did today was, as suggested,
1. removed the HDD from my computer
2. Booted the computer with a live USB (I don't have a CD/DVD drive) ...

Thanks so much for your help.

My issue is with this (and I see the problem)


Since my "new" HDD already has the same LV PATH as the old HDD (both we formatted during a fresh install of Ubuntu...

Some time ago my old PC (with Ubuntu 14.04) died on me so bought a new one. The HDD on the old one was not doing so well (but still usable) so I just went ahead and used the new HDD with a clean...

Hi all, it's been a long time since I started this thread... until yesterday when I saw the posts about BB working I had pretty much given up on it. Thanks to you I have BB installed and it does seem...

Thanks for the feedback guys. Most appreciated. I can confirm I've seen the updates this morning coming through. This is definitely looking to be the best release of Ubuntu ever.

Is anyone else having issues with the new lightDM lock screen? After entering my passord to the lockscreen, my desktop is displayed (expected behaviour) but then with a few seconds I have to log in...

I have a similar issue after updating 14.04 this morning. It seems any application that requires root cannot be run from the desktop anymore (including pulseaudio).

Hi All,

Has anyone else expereinced issues with 14.04 after updates this morning? Since updating, I can no longer run applications requiring root (for example, synaptic, shutdown,...

Thanks! That worked!

Hi all,

In Ubuntu 13.10 I have installed the 3.13rc2 kernel (Ubuntu Mainline). It runs fine except that I get errors with the virtualbox DKMS when installing. As a result I cannot run virtualbox. ...

Hi All,

Today I compiled the 3,12rc5 kernel and though it resolves an issue for me with compiz (I saw a checkerboard strip to the left of my screen in 'expo' mode with everything before) it's...

Thanks Fooman. I just tried it with my laptop monitor and it works. Thanks for the tip. I'll try it tomorrow at work where I have the second monitor. I'll look for a bug reprt on this. If one doesn't...

@fooman - no problem. Glad I could be of some (indirect) help.

The funny thing is I tried the technique you described but it still didn't work.

P.S. This kernel rocks!:guitar:

I use virtual machines often in full screen dual monitor mode. Since I moved to Ubuntu 13.10, whenever my VM is in fullscreen mode, I cannot access dash when I switch to another workspace (i.e. the...

Hi All,

I finally thought to compare the LSPCI from the 2 kernels and what I found on the standard kernel for Ubuntu 13.10 (k3.11) was that this module is loaded (unlike the 3.12 customer kernel I...

Hi Everyone,

So far I've managed to get almost everything on my laptop working better (much better with regards to wifi) by compiling the 3.12rc4 kernel. However, I have one last stumbling block...

Thanks a million. That did the trick. It was driving me nuts.

Hi all,

I need to use the 3.12 kernel because of my hardware so I compiled it according to the instructions here. The kernel is working great except for the fact that scaling doesn't appear to be...

@Paul - In the RC3 thread you provided a great tutorial on compiling the kernel. The thing is, it doesn't produce the 'all' headers. Is there a way to compile that as well? I really need to run...

@Paul_in_London

Wow. Thanks for the post (#3). This was the easiest kernel compiling how-to I've seen in a long time. Are there any caveats about this method that users should be aware of (beside...

I recently had to buy a new laptop quickly as my old one died shortly before an important business trip. I got lured into the build quality of the U430p which I simply assumed everything would work...
