Yep, problem solved they actually called me from Sweden herself! This is real customer service! I'm going for a 3-day vacation in Rome so I don't think I'll be easily reachable but I'd like to thank...

Thanks!
I only mentioned the EU because of customs...tariffs? Sweden doesn't use the Euro but we're both part of the EU, so no tariffs applied here! :)
There's a weird registration process though,...

My apologies, I've only noticed your reply last night, probably didn't notice it because this forum has been *extremely* helpful. Kudos to all of you, really.

3 hrs was of course an exaggeration,...

Correct me if I'm wrong, I often am, are you suggesting to use a different installer? How would I accomplish that?
Or maybe, what about using the Server edition? IIRC it's very manual and text only,...

Thanks, I just mentioned the idea of doing it the easier way and just buy another laptop. Your quote about refurbished enterprise class computers made me ponder though -- I fondly remember installing...

Thank you, it is! Every comment is much appreciated!
Yeah I suppose I could do that with a desktop but unfortunately this otherwise nice Huawei laptop doesn't allow me to do what you suggested: the...

Sorry, it just happened so many times that after searching a while and couldn't find anything 100% pertinent I'd reply to a thread that seemed to be about 90% so. It seemed more polite, and...

Done!

Sorry,it's 6.30am and I slept very little. So my brain is not fully functional yet. One quick question though: what if I lost three hours of my time on this Earth physically disconnecting...

Erasing the ubuntu EFI directory from Windows makes booting Ubuntu impossible, either via BIOS (it doesn't show at all) or F12 "select boot disk" but at least GRUB has gone. It shouldn't be there at...

Hi everyone, I tried to search these fora but I couldn't seem to find an answer, so I apologize if this has already been dealt with.

I've got a Huawei Matebook D (Ryzen 5, 8/256), so since my...

I've been out the Linux world for a while and it just now occurred to me to actually identify the process before killing it... :lolflag:

It turns out it's packagekitd that keeps respawning, and...

Aaaand now it's back. :roll:

What is going on?

Hi, have you solved the issue?
I always had the same problem (countless HW configs, AMD Ryzen 5 laptop right now on Ubuntu 20.04). The weird part is, (I'm talking about Netflix on Firefox) if I...

Oh I'm not complaining about that :D
I just wanted to understand better how the update process works in this "mixed" snap/apt environment exactly because I knew that in a development version updates...

Thanks for clarifying that, I just wasn't sure if and when snap updates would occur.

Does this mean that when I daily run apt update/upgrade snap packages such as VLC (I installed it via Ubuntu Software and checked the details, and *it is* a snap package) and basically all of the...

Very interesting! How do you do that?

I admit SW packages is a very interesting concept in the fragmented Linux world (but of course, it has been already fragmented as well... :roll: ) but not...

The problem seems to be gone with the latest updates (since a week or so): I don't have to kill any process keeping the whatever/it/is locked. apt update and apt upgrade always work now, which I much...

Thanks ajgreeny! I'll try that!
My apologies for my language not being family friendly--it was just frustration... Cheers!

I tried opening Ubuntu Software just to check the settings. Same Error msg.

How many package managers are running at the same time???

Synaptic is NOT running.
Ubuntu Software is NOT running....

Hello everyone, please forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere but I couldn't find anything.
Less than a a week ago I updated the distro from 19.10 to 20.04 (on a spare laptop) and I check...

I've had very similar problems with an Acer Aspire 7535 (IIRC), which had a double ATI card (can't remember the exact models now), one low-end to save juice, the other high-end that should have...

Yeah, two:

1) next time I'm gettin' an Nvidia card, that's for sure, as much as I love AMD

2) I tried Fedora 16, Debian Wheezy, Precise Pangolin, and the result is always the same: the user...

I had no problem so far with that... :shock:

It would seem that there are many different machines out there, bearing the same name but built with VERY different components.

Which leads me to: a...

Same here on an Acer Aspire One 522 (C-50): I gave up on Linux on this one. Hell, even Windows 8 DP is light years more functional AND stable than any distro I've tried on this baby.

I was going...
