Thanks!

Thanks, Xian.

All of a sudden, the message displayed after logging in at the console no longer shows how many package updates are available, or the number of security updates pending. Instead, there's just some...

In answer to the O.P.'s second question -- you might want to take a look at https://linuxhint.com/update_all_packages_ubuntu/.

I have cron jobs on a number of Ubuntu servers (some 18.04 LTS and some 20.04 LTS) which launch
/usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check --human-readable and if the string "\n0 of these updates are...

Well, I gave up and rebuilt the box, and the problem is gone. Not the first time an Ubuntu upgrade has borked a machine.

OK, I'll keep trying. :-) It has occurred to me since posting my original message in this thread, however, that most people who gravitate toward helping people in this particular forum are probably...

Thanks, I tried to change the title of the thread myself, but I was only able to change to for subsequent messages, not for the original thread. I appreciate the desire to avoid redundant threads,...

Bump.

I tried reporting this problem in the Installation and Upgrades forum, which I had assumed was the most appropriate one, but no one there seemed to know what was going on. Ever since I updated to the...

Another data point is that the machine responds to ping requests even when sshd is not listening on port 22. So we know the machine isn't asleep (so I'm changing the title of this thread).

Thanks for the link (and apologies for the late reply -- for some reason thread subscription/notification isn't working).

Unfortunately, this isn't an authentication issue (I ran into and solved...

Bump. Is no one else experiencing these problems with 18.04?

A possibly related symptom (also new with the 18.04 upgrade) is that after a reboot I am unable to ssh into the machine without first walking up to the console and logging in locally. Makes it...

BTW: apologies for the delay in replying to your suggestion. I had subscribed to the thread, but never got an alert for your posted message (and yes, I checked the spam folder). :-(

Thanks, I had made sure that while the screen was allowed to blank out after an interval, automatic suspend was disabled.

After upgrading to 18.04, I can no longer ssh into the system without first going to the console and waking it up. Never did this before.

Responding to my own post (a little disappointed that no one on Ubuntu Forums -- which used to be the most valuable go-to resource for Ubuntu users -- had any insight to offer). I compared packages...

I've got a fresh install of Xubuntu 16.10 and every time I launch emacs the console window from which I run the editor fills up with (many times over) with dozens of the same warning message:


**...

Same thing happened to me. I was forced to upgrade from the LTS 16.04 when the Python paramiko package started spamming my cron job messages with "future" warnings, and I wasn't able to upgrade...

Mostly for curiosity -- does anyone know why sometimes Software Updater asks for a password and sometimes it doesn't? I'm pretty sure it's not one of those "we've already asked for your password...

Am I really the only one who's seen this problem?

Anyone know why the desktop icon for a mounted external USB disk on Xubuntu 14.04 sometimes thinks the disk has a capacity of zero bytes (see attached screen shot). Doesn't happen all the time --...

I found a bug report for this problem (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/790450). It appears that they thought they had fixed the bug as far back as natty, but it's...

Still submitting. Should I be expecting an answer (to my original question) in days instead of minutes or hours?
