My current laptop is T420/Ubuntu 14.04. Like you I never shut it down, just close the lid. Both suspend to RAM and hibernation work without problem. It's...

Any Thinkpad T470 users out there?

Yes indeed, I get an error:


$ eject -t
eject: CD-ROM tray close command failed: Input/output error

If I only knew what is causing it!

Time to time, my Ubuntu 14.04 laptop tries to access the DVD drive. The tray is empty, and I cannot see any reason for the system to try to mount the drive. It's not a big issue but is somewhat...

I resolved issues with my MFC-9330 scanner by installing using the Driver Install recommended by the Brother Technical support. The website is a little confusing, and when I first downloaded drivers...

For the benefit of others, the Brother Technical Support suggested to reinstall the drivers using their driver install tool:

Thank you for sharing your experience. Unfortunately I need to use scanner more often than 5 times a year. Installing VM just for that purpose is rather combersome. The list of supported Brother...

I am using Ubuntu 14.04, kernel 4.4. My multifunction printer/scanner is Brother MFC-9330CDW, it is on the home LAN connected over WiFi. I installed the proprietary driver brscan4-0.4.4-1.amd64.deb...

I have seen many posts about overlay scrollbars in Xenial, but none answered the question I have.

No matter what setting for scrollbars I choose in the Unity tweak or dconf-editor, I have a thin...

Doug S,

Thank you. You are correct, it was IGMP! I disabled IGMP settings on the router, and these messages stopped.

An interesting piece of information.... I am attaching the router status.

Firstly, it appears that 74:DA:38:04:10:48 is the one of the router's MAC addresses, it shows as part of the...

Two weeks ago I installed lots of updates (after a long time) on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS laptop, which seemed to break my VPN connection. I went to check syslog, and noticed a suspicious traffic blocked...

I meant DVD of course. The problem is I cannot boot that PC off 14.04 or 12.04 DVDs, they produce "No Operating system found" error. I am certain there is no issue with the media - When I pop the...

Thanks kansasnoob and ajgreeny. Xubuntu or lubuntu should be fine, I prefer the old style gnome legacy interface anyway. The PC is Lenovo M58 tower. Here the output of the cpuinfo, lspci and free...

I have an old PC (2010) dualbooting Mandriva 2009 (the main OS) and Ubuntu 9 (either 9.04 or 9.10). There is no Windows on it, and the GRUB is installed in MBR if I recall correctly. I would like to...

Anyone?

I would like to uninstall the classico font for texlive, which I installed using getnonfreefonts-sys on my Ububtu 14.04 laptop. Can somebody please guide me through the uninstall procedure?

Thanks

bump?

Does anybody have it working correctly?

Thanks for the pointer, however where on that page do they talk about two-step authentication? What they discribe works fine until I turn the 2-step authentication on. Once I turn it on, I can only...

Solved. If you have this problem, open file /usr/share/themes/ambiance/gtk-2.0/gtkrc using an editor, and change fg_color from #4c4c4c to #000000.

Solved... My PC was configured to sync time with an ntp server. This is the default setting (The Network time slider shows ON), however it appears that the ntp package was not even installed! I...

I now recall that in 10.04 I was able to customize the theme by making the fonts darker. Does 12.04 allow themes to be customized?
