Hi there.
Install the deb file from the Skype website with gdebi or software centre, I think.
Hi Impavidus.
That's worked a treat.
I was able to boot the 104 kernel & do an update, normal boot resumed thereafter.
Thanks very much :)
Hi everybody.
I went to boot my Ubuntu 16.04.3 install a day or two ago & got the following error message, which I can't make heads or tails of.
Sorry it's a photo, but it seemed like the easiest...
Hi there.
Just my opinion:
1. Stick with the LTS (Long Term Support) release, which you have. (16.04 - that's the year & month of release by the way, so 17.10 is October 2017 release).
LTS...
Hi there.
Many years ago I had an issue with a Realtek chip on a second hand laptop. (Unfortunately I don't recall which chip it was now & laptop has long since been disposed of).

Hi there.
If I recall correctly I got 2 x 2Gb DDR2 for £7 a stick (£14 total) in a second hand game/tech shop named CeX in the UK. It's a chain & they have all kinds of things, games, phones,...

I've not played Goat Sim for a while - yes I actually bought it, & I bought copies for a couple of friends too.
It makes me smile.

Hi sudodus & thanks for the info.
I don't want to come over as an ingrate but, I was hoping to use a 64 bit OS so I can install google chrome for Netflix.

Hi DuckHook.
Thanks for the tips & info.
Currently the MSI works well with Lubuntu - I'm going to leave that alone for now.
I'm running the Lubuntu openbox session on the Presario with a couple...
Oh I see, my bad, sorry.
I don't think I can help you with the firefox thing. It's outside my sphere of knowledge.
Sory man, good luck.
Hi again.
Perhaps I'm not being clear.
I've never used Rufus & have no intention of using Rufus.
I make my install USBs using either Unetbootin (available on Windows) or Startup Disk Creator....
Hi everybody.
I've a couple of old/low end machines I'm trying to keep alive using minimal installs:

Hi again.
I've no experience with Rufus, nor am I about to embark on that journey, sorry.
I generally use Unetbootin for creating Live USBs. (It will make a USB with persistence).

Hi again.

Hi again.
For me lscpu yields the same result as your second code box. (Showing 64 bit architecture).
Yes, 64 bit uses more resources, but as I'm not doing a gazillion things at once with my low...

Hi there.
I gave up in the end, mainly because I had another issue with my HP touchscreen laptop, not because I couldn't get Ubuntu installed. (My machine froze every time I tried to shut it down...
Hi there.
I believe it's a recognised bug.
I had this issue a few days ago &, luckily I guess, running
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
from a terminal fixed it...so far.

Hi there.
I recently had an issue with gnome software crashing. I believe it's installed by default in 16.04 rather than Ubuntu Software centre (center? /shivers at spelling).

Looks like sudo apt-get upgrade has worked for me too.
Awesome :)
