Ubuntu 14.04 crash ...

[fairbird]

I have problem with this version of Ubuntu crash each 10 or 20 minutes as photo shown ...

Ubuntu 12.04 and 16.04 work just fine without any problem on in this version 14.04.4 ?!

How can you fix it ?!

1GB ram
Intel® Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2180 @ 2.00GHz × 2
Intel® 945G x86/MMX/SSE2
32-bit
80 GB

install side to side windows 7...

Thank you

It looks like a graphics crash. I'm curious why you'd choose to run 14.04 (Trusty) if you know 16.04 (Xenial) runs OK on that hardware?

Something to consider is that installs performed with 14.04.4 media will reach HWE EOL around August:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

(I see that page needs to be updated with 14.04.4 data)

More about HWE EOL here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack

May be best to see the kernel support period for Trusty:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack#Kernel.2FSupport.A14.04.x_Ubunt u_Kernel_Support

So I think it would be best to just use 16.04 (Xenial) unless there is a specific reason not to. If Trusty is required for some reason I'd use the archived 14.04.1 installation media because it avoids HWE EOL and is supported until April 2019:

http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/trusty/

Note: That web page includes downloads for 14.04, 14.04.1, 14.04.2, and 14.04.3 images. You need to be sure and use the 14.04.1 images to avoid HWE EOL.

If you are using Ubuntu for business, you might do many tests on a specific version carefully then you could use for a long time (not to need update)

You need to remove this PPA file it may be outdated and no longer availabledo the following in order to fix this error message, just open your Software & Updater look for this PPA highlight it them click on the remove tab

[fairbird]

You could try removing your sources.list then load up the software sources application, select some repositories, eg main, to start off with, select the "Download from" server if the default doesn't look the best for you.


sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list ~/Documents

sudo -H software-properties-gtk

When you close software-properties-gtk you will be prompted to reload your sources.

Worst case scenario you can move the old sources.list which will be saved in your Documents folder back to /etc/apt/.

[fairbird]

Thank you So much ...
Fix it :)

[howefield]

Thank you So much ...
Fix it :)

Cool, in that case you can delete the saved copy of the sources.list that is now in your Documents folder, assuming you followed the above :)

[fairbird]

OK ... I will ..
Thank you .
