That's just skill. Ksplice used to do this. What's the point if you have to reboot?
Not ready for prime time I guess.
I turned on live patching, I know I did, yet I still get "The computer needs to restart to finish installing updates". This has happened a few times. It happened again today so I decided to look into...
... and the background changes.
I'm using gnome-flashback-session and compiz, etc. I like transparent panels. I like my backgrounds changing periodically. But if I have a the panel set to be...
Answering my own question for the benefit of others... Note that there can be many reasons why this broke down so my solution may not be your solution.
Somehow I got the idea that perhaps my...

I've been running an email server for years but after about 3 months my server was no longer responding so sadly I had to reboot it. After coming back up my email client (Thunderbird) started...
Sorry but this doesn't do anything.
The problem for me is that Firefox cannot cast a tab! I don't want to watch Hulu on my computer - I want to watch it on my large screen TV!
This is...
Perhaps some good news, at least on the Google side. My Google Chrome Beta browser at work on Windows is Version 46.0.2478.0 dev-m (64-bit). On this browser Hulu works. Additionally there is a thing...
I don't have a problem with Firefox playing Hulu videos, provided I use the popout player (http://static.huluim.com/images/icon-popout-hover.gif?1309930979). I have a problem with Firefox not being...
Considering my normal mode of operation is to play Hulu (free - I'm not paying this jackasses) videos in a tab then cast the tab to my Chromecast, Firefox is not an acceptable workaround because I...
No I don't use unity - I'm a gnome/compiz/emerald guy. That "sid" thing is in sources.list but it's commented out:

So I decided that I'd try the above but first I ran the update-manager to see if there were any updates for 14.10 and there were so I applied them. Since there were kernal updates it wanted to reboot...
I started synaptic and immediately it said I had 2 broken packages. I'm gonna ignore that for now. Looking at Settings > Repository > Other Software I see Debian 'Sid' (unstable) as the first entry....
I may have started an upgrade to 15.04 then canceled it.

I'm not gonna be re-installing everything any time soon. I shouldn't need to.
Actually I'm just trying to update. I don't understand what you are saying here. In the repos gconf-service_3.2.6-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb exists? Ok, fine. So what do I do?
I believe I was using the upgrade tool when it came back and said it couldn't only do a partial upgrade. I believe I selected Continue. That failed in some manner. I don't remember how. I think I ran...
When I try to update to 15.04, synaptic tells me "Trying to recover from package failure".

It never succeeds recovering from the package failure and I cannot close the dialog box....
Running Ubuntu 14.04 using gnome-panel with transparency. Whenever the background changes (and I have a script that changes is every 30 minutes) these two applets die. How can I debug this? How can...
Just about every time I come here I'm not logged in. I have to go through the procedure of logging in with my SSO thing or whatever and a few days later when I come back here I have to log in again....
Apparently I found that my Thunderbird cache (.msf files) were corrupted. Thought it might be an IMAP server settings. Sorry.
Nobody?!?
I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 server with Dovecot IMAP. I also use k9 on my cell phone and Thunderbird at home on my Ubuntu Desktop as well as on Windows at work with Thunderbird also connecting to my...
Suddenly my gnome-terminal lost the ability to do background. In the past I had nice profile set up with nice backgrounds. My machines are named on the theme of planets so I have things like earth,...
