I've recently been experiencing an issue with the kernel USB stack crashing. I had at first identified this as an Xorg crash that seemed to be an interaction between Xorg, the proprietary NVidia...
I think what's actually going on here is that the machines are set up as kiosks for a specific company-internal application or a small set of internal applications, and are explicitly not meant to be...
The various systemd unit files are supposed to contain dependency information that systemd uses to make sure that it starts services after the services they need. I suspect something there may be...
No, virt-manager is not being started at boot, or even with my X session. You're confusing virt-manager with libvirtd. libvirtd is a daemon started at boot time, that should be bringing up the VM in...
I have a VM set to start on boot, and libvirtd itself does indeed start. However, qemu:///system fails to come up at boot, along with all of its VMs. If I try to access it in virt-manager, I get a...
That does seem to be what was missing. I now have connectivity on the 5.3 kernel.
Looking into it further, I figured out what went wrong: The linux-generic-hwe-$UBUNTU_VERSION packages bring in...
dmesg | grep ath returns nothing, either before or after the modprobe.
The modprobe itself emits the following on stderr:
modprobe: FATAL: Module ath9k not found in directory...
Yes:
The exact package name linux-image-generic depends on the working 4.15 kernel that I started with.
For the 5.3 package, linux-image-5.3.0-40-generic, I have the corresponding linux-headers...
My home desktop, running Ubuntu-Mate 18.04 has a PCI AR9287 Wireless card, which has until recently been using a linux-image-4.15.0-91-generic. The machine has had 14.04 and 16.04 installed over its...
As of today, whenever I try to ssh out from my user account on my main desktop, the ssh client hangs right after prompting for my password. When running with the -v option, nothing is printed after...
I have a Pangolin P5 purchased in 2009 that is basically in perfect working order, but, of course, the battery is pretty much shot after nine years.
I checked the System76 website, and was not...
I recently updated my desktop form Trusty to Xenial. Unfortunately, due to some brokenness in the release upgrade process, I was unable to perform an in-place upgrade, and had to perform a fresh...
In preparation for switching my main desktop over, I upgraded my laptop from Ubuntu-Mate Trusty to Xenial. I have a setup where I use compiz window rules to overlay a transparent, borderless...
I'm looking at setting up an LDAP domain between the Linux machines on my home network for SSO and career development purposes. From what I'm seeing, I'm thinking it may be a bit of overkill for SSO...
I managed to regenerate 1.06 packages by using dpkg-repack on the system I have that hasn't upgraded yet. Anyone who is also having this issue can use these debs to restore fingerprint-gui to a...
Nope. It was replaced by the deb for 1.07 when the upgrade was performed.
I can only find debs for version 1.07 there. I have tried contacting the repository maintainer, but haven't heard back...
Fingerprint-gui no longer works on certain systems after being upgraded from version 1.06 to 1.07. (See http://home.ullrich-online.cc/fingerprint/Forum/topic.php?TopicId=481&Posts=18)
After being...
I am running an Ubuntu 14.04 setup with the Ubuntu-MATE repositories added after installation. My desktop setup includes MATE as my DE, Compiz as my WM, and Emerald as my window decorator.

Yes, but...
I was using that feature, but unfortunately, there is no backup before the one I've screwed, because I managed to screw all the ones. The entire backup drive is screwed, not just a...
I've been using Back In Time as a backup solution, and in a fit of complete idiocy attempted restoring a whole-filesystem backup with the system I was trying to restore booted, instead of from a live...
On a related note, while I have a bell in terminals running under my X11 session by way of Pulse, I do not have any console bell. I've tried unblacklisting and loading the pcspkr module, to no avail...
I have /etc/pulse/default.pa set up so that Pulseaudio intercepts the X11 bell and plays a sound. My problem is that the default bell volume is too low for my liking (set at 50%). The X11 bell volume...
hosts.allow is empty, hosts.deny whitelists hosts for sshd with an ALL EXCEPT directive. Both the bare hostname and the *.attlocal.net hostname are whitelisted in hosts.deny.
I have a laptop and a desktop/server on a home LAN behind an AT&T U-verse router/modem.
My hosts.deny file on the desktop is set up to allow the laptop to connect to the desktop:
sshd: ALL...
