I don’t see how this is unique to snaps though. All of these issues could affect ppa’s or .deb or even tarballs. They could even affect the actual repo in a distro as well in that the repo isn’t...

Ah. I see. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks.

But if a software developer orphans an app, isn't it simply orphaned everywhere (i.e. it will not be updated in the official repository of any of the distros as well, right?)

I thought (and I may...

I am still very new to snaps and was excited to use them - only for that excitement to turn to disappointment when I realized I cannot actually open any of my files, or prevent automatic updates.
...

I am just now starting with snaps. Prior to this I wound up "rolling my own" app management system (not package system) to be able to run multiple otherwise incompatible versions of apps on my...

EDIT: I rebooted my system and it seems to be working now. I will leave this post up in case anyone else has the same issue. Still no snaps listed in the software center though

Hello,

I am new...

Wow, thanks for all the fantastic help! I'll make the changes tonight!

Hi,

I've tried to search around the web for an answer to this question before posting here. Unfortunately I have not been able to figure it out. I am running 17.10

I have a machine with...

I just installed 16.04 LTS GNOME onto a 2014 Thinkpad X1 carbon (i5, 8GB RAM).

I completely wiped out Windows, repartitioned the 180GB drive into a single 8GB partition for swap, 20GB partition...

Thanks for taking the time to look at the script. Everything you mention makes sense to me (after a few readings). As I mentioned, this was originally a script that I modified from another source. ...

Hi,

I have finally (mostly) successfully installed Mudbox on my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS system. Most of this work was done by others, but it was either not completely functional, or it was for debian...

Ha! Yeah, I am getting up to speed on Linux in a very short time so some of my command constructs may be a little weird :)

Thanks again so much for your help so far. I finally got Mudbox to work...

Ok, so I got my license from Autodesk and installed it and Mudbox starts up just fine. But it quickly stops with an error:

void Mudbox::LoadPlugins(): Failed to load the following plugin(s):...

Thanks!

I took your suggestion and found a package that had the necessary files. I installed that and now I have the libraries I need. I looked in the directory and can see that the files live...

Edit:

I found this page:

https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0/filelist

It shows the files in the package I described above. I did a quick search to see...

Hi,

I'm trying to get Mudbox up and running on my 16.04 LTS install.

One of the things it is complaining about is not being able to find:


libgstapp-0.10.so.0

Doing a little sleuthing,...

Thanks. Once I am able to get back to it I will give that a shot.

I'm kind of having a conversation with myself here :)

So, the latest is that the install on a mechanical drive seems to have really helped. I did get one complete lock up since I did that, but I...

I did a complete re-re-re-install of 16.04.3 LTS Gnome.

It does not like to download updates and 3rd party files while installing (I have to leave both of those turned off in order for it to...

Just an update. I tried it both ways. First 16.04 LTS with unity and then gnome installed separately. But somehow a lot of the unity layout was left intact when I switched to gnome, and I couldn't...

Brilliant! Thanks so much everyone. This has been very helpful.

Here is the output of sudo fdisk -l:


Disk /dev/sda: 465.8 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors

Windows seemed to be relatively stable, but I haven't run it very long. I really want Ubuntu to work.

So I downloaded 16.04 to my Mac, made a bootable DVD, and installed that over the top...

Another new user here. These are some useful links, thanks!

I installed 17.04 Gnome but am having frequent, whole system bugs that force me to reboot. I am thinking of doing a fresh install of...

Thanks for the quick reply.

It happened again. This time I spent a little more time trying to diagnose it. But to little avail.

I ran dmesg | less right when I rebooted this morning. Nothing...
