And this is my concern with snaps. I understand the concept of containerizing applications in such a way that whatever modules are required for the the application to communicate with the kernel...
I get it. A snap is completely self-contained, and therefore does not require use of common Linux libraries and modules and may duplicate many of these with its own such files in its installed...
Thanks for moving this to the right forum.
So pre-emptive strike "sudo apt autoremove --purge snapd"
When I install 20.04LTS, I'll do that again, until Kubuntu 20.04 (in my case) no longer works. Then I'll just move on :KS
I just want to understand how the snap packages will fit into future versions of an *buntu.
Specifically, will snaps be installed by default or will there be an opt-out process?
Personally, I...
The specs from an online source for the ACEPC T11 shows that for storage there is an eMMC of 32GB. With Windows 10 installed, there's not going to be much free space left for Linux. Now, that same...
Rufus is a fine application for creating reliable, bootable USB drives - I agree that there should be no problems from that.
I always do clean installs, and have a process with UEFI "BIOS"...
You made no mention of another OS. Assuming this is intended to be a single boot, Ubuntu machine, there should be no reason to use Legacy mode to install Ubuntu.
Enter the UEFI, change the boot...
Have you looked at this? This particular article discusses adding a boot device that is not listed - in this case a CD/DVD. However, it starts with a discussion of setting boot order in general. ...
The command line utility will help install the recommended driver for your Nvidia card. Yes, you could also use apt to install something very specific, but it seems like you just need to get your...
If this laptop has a USB 2 or 3 port, a USB to RJ45 ethernet dongle should give you the capability to plug into an ethernet connection to your router so you can grab whatever you need for your wifi.
A partition editor will allow you reclaim the Windows space and format that space to a Linux filesystem such ext4 or BTRFS and to set up a good partitioning scheme. You could use that new space as a...
Try this and see what is recommended. There is an option to autoinstall the correct driver version, which may have changed with the new kernel version.
I know nothing about Remmina, except what is at their web page. Did you use the install entries found there?

Apparently there is a snap, a...
Just guessing here, but maybe it's the old story of supply and demand. There's more demand for access to an easy download of a recognizable ISO file that doesn't require a lot of playing around. ...
I can understand your issues. I'm of an age where many things have escaped from memory, and I find the need to make notes and keep them visible.
I recently did a clean install of Kubuntu 18.04.1,...
Again, thank you. Good info and I have this in a text file (that gets backed up) for after I upgrade to Bionic.
Thank you jeremy31. I too bought one of those generic Realtek chipped wifi adapters from Amazon. Your instructions worked perfectly and the antenna does seem to have brought in a stronger...
What partitioning app were you using?
I've seen errors on SD cards and usually an error flag is set on the file system due to a bad write or incomplete write. Sometimes all it takes is opening...
After changing your hardware, did you reinstall Ubuntu?
Lubuntu 16.04.3
Toshiba
Satellite A135-S2386
Works fine with 2GB RAM and 500GB of WD hard drive!
I was having the the same problem in Kubuntu 12.04 after recently installing a floppy drive to access some old diskettes with some important information on them. I beat my head on that brick wall...
Yep, long-winded and short on helpfulness. Bottom line, someone dropped floppy drive support, and no one is interested in fixing the problem in current versions (including LTS) of *buntu. Have to...
At work, I use Windows, basically because I have to. I actually don't mind using Windows - with the possible exception of Win 8, and simply because I get sick to my stomach just looking at it. On...
