I have recently obtained a generic PS3 compatible USB controller, but my 19.10 box cannot detect any input from it.

When I run "lsusb" my system reports :

Bus 004 Device 008: ID 045e:028e...

The output to lspci |grep VGA is :
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Tahiti XT [Radeon HD 7970/8970 OEM / R9 280X]

The additional drivers tab does not even...

I am having an issue with my monitors suspending correctly whilst my system is idle.

When my PC has been left idle, a number of things might happen when the system attempts to suspend the display...

Hi there,

I have just had to run a fresh install of 16.10, after my upgrade refused to load the GUI under any circumstances.

One of the symptoms of my previous issue was that my system suddenly...

I gave up and chose to reinstall ... as I suspected, the 16.10 installation media fails to load.

The last time I had to do a clean install, I had to go back to 15.04 and then upgrade from there. I...

I have tried purging Nvidia drivers, but no joy.

Unfortunately, reconfiguring my system as it was will prove to be a bit more work than a 1 hour reinstall (otherwise I wouldn't be bothering with...

Bump ... I have some fairly urgent university assignments to do, so I am a little desperate.

Does nobody have any suggestions?

I recently had an issue where many of those packages failed to upgrade because my boot partition was full.

Have you tried removing your older linux images to free up some space? Simply running...

I appear to be stuck in a login loop, as Unity does not seem to be starting.

After upgrading to 16.10, I booted into the LightDM login screen and found that any attempt to log in caused a screen...

**EDIT**
Moved to new post (see next comment)

Sorry ... I had some new components on order, so I figured I'd wait until I'd completed my rebuild before coming back to the problem.

I will bare this in mind for the future.

Bump ... anybody?

Hi there,

I have just lost a 4 disk Raid-Z partition and I can find no way of getting it back.

It is composed of 4 2tb disks (SDC/D/E/F) and it literally just vanished after a reboot.

Interestingly, I have found another person with the same motherboard reporting similar symptoms on a windows build :...

I have lost all sound in Ubuntu 16.04 and I cannot work out why. Pulse Audio Mixer clearly shows that it is detecting an audio stream, and the audio was working only yesterday. My cables, speakers...

Interestingly, I was just adding some new media to my plex server and THAT picked up my VFS drive immediately. So it seems that it is just GTK based apps that can't see the VFS pool as a drive, if...

I've checked it out, but I've not found anything that helps. The problem isn't so much mounting the drive (I am in the middle of transferring over 1tb of data to it now) just that the GUI isn't...

As 16.04 has announced it now has native ZFS support, I thought I would test Raid-Z. I have had a number of issues with MDADM corrupting my superblocks when a drive fails, so I thought trying...

Hi there,

I upgraded to an SSD last year, cloning my existing OS installation from the old root drive because I didn't want to have to reconfigure everything from scratch. As the new SSD was 40gb...

Hi there!

I have used Guake for many years, enjoying the convenience and aesthetic of having a drop down "quake style" terminal on my desktop. Unfortunately, it has broken since I upgraded to...

Hi there!

The window decorations for all GTK native applications (such as Nautilus, Disks, Videos, etc) have broken after upgrading to 14.10 ... they worked perfectly in 14.04, so I would like to...

I never had this problem with 14.04, but it struck as soon as I installed 14.10 ... PLEASE can somebody tell me that there is a fix before I go posting this issue as a new thread?
