    It says on vim PPA manager Jonathon F's launchpad page that:

    "This account belonged to a deceased user and has been archived."


    (In fact, Jonathon F. died in January of 2023.)

    But on the...
  2. [SOLVED] Re: I'm suddenly booting into BIOS/UEFI instead of to 22.04 login screen

    SOLVED. It's the CMOS battery.

    I always turn off the power supply as well as the motherboard. Yesterday I left the power supply on all night and booted today directly into the preferred OS...
  3. [SOLVED] Re: I'm suddenly booting into BIOS/UEFI instead of to 22.04 login screen

    I am also at this point suspecting the CMOS battery, but could I maybe get some clarification about running the the above commands?

  5. [SOLVED] Re: I'm suddenly booting into BIOS/UEFI instead of to 22.04 login screen

    The problem doesn't occur on reboots. It also doesn't occur after complete shutdown and waiting a few minutes.

  7. [SOLVED] Re: BORKED CAJA: Desktop icons blinking on/off

    One thing I've discovered is that this problem appears to be NOT profile-related. I created a passwordless guest account, and the same thing happens in that account - if I click on a JPG file, the...
  8. [SOLVED] Re: BORKED CAJA: Desktop icons blinking on/off

    For awhile it did appear that folks were having trouble with anything after nvidia driver 470. I did not go above that until I installed 22.04. (I still use 470 on my 20.04 install.)

  9. [SOLVED] Re: BORKED CAJA: Desktop icons blinking on/off

  14. [SOLVED] Re: UEFI BIOS update (Asus) causes black left monitor on restarts

    So, by trial-and-error, it turns out that all of firmware versions 4501, 4402 and 3904 caused the black monitor problem on restarts.

    (I didn't bother trying 4406). These are all the versions...

    So the original problem was that whenever I turned off executable for the /etc/grub.d/10_linux script, I would always get the error message:

  18. [SOLVED] Re: grub error: can't find command 'gfxmode'.

    06_custom contains:

    (a) the menu-entry code for the first six menu (and submenu) items that are in the pic above;
    (b) the 41_custom script because I have a small custom.cfg file that...
  19. [SOLVED] Re: grub error: can't find command 'gfxmode'.

  21. [SOLVED] Re: grub error: can't find command 'gfxmode'.

    No, I get unwanted entries in the grub menu when I make 10_linux executable, as stated in my original post.
  22. [SOLVED] Re: grub error: can't find command 'gfxmode'.

    Thanks for the suggestion but this didn't get rid of the error message.
    There must be something in the 10_linux file about gfxmode that I need to put in 06_custom.
  23. [SOLVED] grub error: can't find command 'gfxmode'.
