    Re: New to Linux and Ubuntu

    Re: Trying to install OpenOffice

    In that case it is quite possible that you should not have installed OpenOffice at all. LibreOffice is what everyone uses nowadays, and it is installed by default on Ubuntu.

    [SOLVED] Re: Upgrade advise

    I hope the OP realizes that the stability of LTS releases does not mean that the interim releases crash more often, because they don't. LTS releases are stable by definition: their stability means...
  4. Re: Regular freezes with HP ENVY x360 (Ryzen 3300U)

    I am pretty sure they have not dropped the support for 3000 series Ryzens in the 5.8, so it is your best bet.
  5. Re: Ubuntu 20.04 touchpad not working on Lenovo Thinkbook?

    Thinkpad is not the same thing as Thinkbook. Is the OP running the 5.4 kernel? It might be too old for the Thinkbook.

    So it used to work? Perhaps Nvidia drivers were upgraded as well and caused the issue?

    [ubuntu] Re: photos are disappearing in Shotwell

    Did you import the pictures in place or copied them to another location? For example, if you imported pictures in an external hard drive, they will disappear if the hard drive is not connected.

    [SOLVED] Which fonts Ubuntu installs by default?

    I have installed font-packages from the repositories and would like to remove all, except the ones that Ubuntu installs by default. What are these?

    OneDrive is not supported. I think there might have been a commercial product for this purpose.
  12. [ubuntu] Re: Fan is spinning all the time, maybe related to video?

    4000 series Ryzen laptops are so new that dusty fans are extremely unlikely. The OP needs to upgrade the kernel as 5.4 series did not fully support the 4000 series cpus.

    Re: Ubuntu 18.04 running slow

    Reinstalling 18.04 was pointless as 20.04 is available. The browser or a browser extension might be leaking memory. Disable browser extensions or change the browser to test.
  15. Re: Could SUSPEND work on Ubuntu with AMD Ryzen 5 4500U + Radeon graphics?

    The kernel on 20.04 might not be new enough, but you could install linux-generic-hwe-20.04-edge for a newer kernel if you'd want to stay in LTS. Otherwise you could install 20.10.

    Remember to purge all PPAs if you have added any.

    The camera should appear in Files when the cable is attached and be mountable. Otherwise you will have to remove the SD-card from the camera and insert it into the computer's card reader.

    The optimal size of swap is 1-2 GB for most use cases regardless the amount of RAM.
  19. Re: New Kernel Updates Backported to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS?

    You probably meant 5.4, because 3.8 must be like 10 years old. Hardware enablement stack to be released early 2021 will backport kernel from 20.10 to 20.04.

    Are those the apps that look like in 18.04? If not, then the problem is not in the snap app themes.

    The failure could be related to snap theming. Are the apps with the old theme snaps?

    Yes, you need to. All upgrades for LTSs are security updates and bug fixes.
