Thank you, @broti! I'll keep messing around with this... It's still happening for me every day.

Well, this problem seems to be resolved now that I'm on Mantic Minotaur (23.10).

After upgrading my desktop to 23.10, I've been pleased with it, other than with Firefox. On a daily basis, Firefox crashes or I have to kill it to move on. Sometimes (not always), other system...

I upgraded to Ubuntu 22.10 the day that it came out (22 Oct), and have been enjoying it. However, ever since 24 Oct I have been totally unable to launch Nautilus.

The real trouble is, I have no...

Well, that did not work either. Can anyone guide me on how to troubleshoot this situation? For now I've removed Libreoffice completely.

Wow. I just learned that my Libreoffice version is WAAAAY out of date! I just installed 6.4.0.3, so hopefully that will fix my problem. Will report back.

On my Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS system, every time I open LibreOffice Impress (version 6.0.7.3), my entire system freezes. I can't kill the GUI and must hard reboot by power cycling. There's a thread from...

Thanks for the reply. In the GNOME GUI, I don't seem to even have an option to choose a solid color! Weird. I had to use:


gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri none

to remove...

Oops, my bad!

I recently upgraded to 20.04, and for the most part everything was fine. My computer's power management setup is configured for the machine to suspend/sleep (Automatic Suspend) after 2 hours.

Wow, weird. The forums started today which is also my birthday! Good work to the team - I've really enjoyed this site and found it to be a tremendously valuable resource. I have both given and...

Long story, but I ended up reinstalling Ubuntu to solve other more pressing problems.

Well, I'm sorry to report that I tried every combination of default, binary, external, and experimental video display driver I could verify works with my NVIDIA card, each with multiple combinations...

Truthfully, I was hoping to avoid messing with grub if possible. But after reading the articles you shared, I gave it a shot. I added the following lines to my boot statement, but none of these have...

Yes, I did try that and still no luck.

Thanks for your reply, sudodus, but I do not have that kind of backup in place. Yeah, I know, shame on me, but I've never had a display problem this serious with any Ubuntu release.

Friends,

I recently performed an inline upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10. My Ubuntu desktop is one I built a couple of years ago. Usually that spells "sketchiness", but this computer has been running...

Me, too! Thanks again.

ian-weisser, thank you! I did what you recommend, and that solved my problem. I had to purge a few packages dependancies, but that was no big deal. I'm now able to update my system correctly with no...

Yeah, I failed to do that, but the Software Updater prompted me to disable them, to which I replied in the affirmative. I'm afraid that this did something to my system. I have seemingly overcome...

Thanks again, ian-weisser, for being willing to help me. I ran the command you recommended. Seems like no luck...


root@eminem:~# apt-get autoremove openoffice-debian-menus libreoffice-core...

ian-weisser, thanks for your reply. I don't recall exactly when I installed OpenOffice.org, but the problem is, I can't execute any apt-get command without being smacked with this error. Also, I...

Friends, I cannot seem to update or remove any software from my systems due to some whacky apt-get issue related to Libreoffice. When I attempt to upgrade anything, I see the following message:

...

So, for some strange reason I cannot open the gnome-control-center (a.k.a. System Settings applet).

This is what I see in the syslog file:


Oct 24 17:03:23 kernel: [17986.819005]...

So, even with my problems I have been able to use my Ubuntu 13.10 system. However, today I had an X server crash and now I cannot launch anything but low-graphics mode. I've tried the NVIDIA...
