  1. Re: Wifi stopped working soon after new kernel upgrade

    This problem cured itself without me having to do anything. I noticed that the lshw command no longer showed the adapter as unclaimed, so I removed the ethernet plug and the laptop immediately...
  2. Re: Wifi stopped working soon after new kernel upgrade

    Of the two firmware load errors shown below, /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-QuZ-a0-hr-b0-50.ucode exists on the system, but iwlwifi-QuZ-a0-hr-b0-49.ucode does not. Is this what is causing the problem?

    I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15-IIL which came preloaded with Windows 10. I have installed Ubuntu 20.04, as a dual boot.

  8. Re: df command shows negative value in 'Used' column

    That is the entire output (did you scroll it?). The smartctl -t command, however, did not take minutes but finished immediately (with 0 return code).

    Anything out of the ordinary here?

  11. Re: df command shows negative value in 'Used' column

    It was a pre-installed Windows 10 - the partitioning was done as part of the Ubuntu installation process. fdisk command shows the Windows partition as 'Microsoft Basic Data'.

    Re: mail.log not rotating

    I know, but this is not a support issue as such. In any case the problem predates the end of 14.04 support. What I really need to know is whether there is anything else in the config that I should be...

  22. Re: System Settings... doesn't work following upgrade to 16.04

    Ah, you meant 'upgrade vs fresh install' - yes that makes sense now. I may well end up doing a fresh install, and go straight to 18.04 while I'm at it.
