startx was one of the commands I tried early into this fiasco update. Didn't work . . . too many pieces of the graphic system were not present.

I don't have them written down, but there are...

Well . . . I wish I'd known more about this faulty update before I tried to to run the standard updater gui. It's 2am now here is Nebraska so am going to bed and will ask wife (her computer) to...

OK . . . . good news! I ran the commands from your latest post and that didn't resolve the issue (still had same error message) - - but apt suggested another purge command which I ran, and then I...

OK -thanks - - here is the output:

I could use some help to fix my broken package manager (running Ubuntu 22.04.2)


I've tried inactivating 3rd party sources and rerunning the update - no luck.


It's been YEARS since I've had...

Well . . . I read the linked thread closely, and then all the comments from users,, devs, sysadmins, etc. It seems a large majority (80-90 percent) of the power users, devs, admins, devops,...

The description seems clear to me.

If you toggle the WiFi off, it is off and you will save on power when running the Laptop or Notebook PC in "offline mode" (like updating a spreadsheet or...

Hi,

Although you don’t need to do anything, we wanted to let you know that...

Good points . . . but there's more flexibility on price than used to be (like the mini-PC's like MintBox & Sys76 Meerkat).

Still, the way PoBoy (oops, . . . Poor Guy) is doing it makes sense...

So far, these youtube videos are not especially accurate or informative.

Attempting to run an OS off a usb flash-stick (even a usbv3) is not a great experience if you are changing the system...

Yes. People really do use Pop!_OS.

No. System76 does not charge "Apple Tax". But one must look at the specific components & chipsets of each machine (these are the "Tangibles") . . . AND...

Fascinating . . . sure throws this "must use a Mac cuz it's SO uber-kool" . . . implication into the proverbial toilet. [-X[-X

According to "Professional Developers" . . . OS used for development...

Now, in 2019, any new computer can have any & all programming languages, IDE's, versioning software (GitHub, GitLab etc.) installed. Then a all that's needed is a high end large monitor (26-32").

No . . . . just not so. Mac hardware is not even allowed at most organizations. Developers use all platforms including Android. Overall, Linux based development is greater (more hardware,...

Seems updater process not working here also. Major kernel updates & thunderbird just will not complete. I've tried to change mirror servers to get fastest connection . . . updates are just not...

Maybe high time to save important data/files, then get latest LTS 18.04, create a bootable usb flash-stick and do a clean install. That would be the simpler and faster route (typically).

"Porting" is done by professional developers or very experienced Linux systems engineers. Not for new Linux user, home users, etc. BUT, have you looked at:
...

If you can . . . buying a pre-intalled Linux PC is the simplest and best option in my view. Since the widespread adoption of uefi versus legacy or standard bios, it "can be" quite complex to...

In my view, the easiest way to edit the sources data (file) is to go through the graphical front end "Software & Updates" and click on the "Other Software" tab. Then highlight the line in the...

Need simple instructions? . . . well, just disregard that link you posted entirely . . . unless you are running an IT Department & WAN out of your house with dozens to thousands of users. That...

Comparing "home" or consumer users with "Corporate" or company users is faulty. For example, how many home users have the policies & practices corporations do such as ITL's (Integration Test Labs),...
