I'm getting this error message in Debian:



Can't locate wxDate/wxDate.pm in @INC (you may need to install the wxDate::wxDate module) (@INC contains: ./lib /etc/perl...

The answer is it doesn't exist. No option:

https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkSettings.html#GtkSettings--gtk-font-name

GTK makes things more difficult than they already are.

Does anyone know the option to set the font pixelsize (as opposed to size) for GTK apps?

.gtkrc-2.0 does this by default:



gtk-font-name="Sans 10"


But the value 10 defaults to font size.

My Ubuntu got attacked last night.

That's the Windows way. When in trouble reinstall.

Anyway set a root password. Ubuntu install does not set a password for root by default.



# sudo passwd root

Does anyone know why native display/backlight brightness control seems to only work with UEFI Secure Boot turned off?

On the Ubuntu Live CD (16.04) all of the function keys for brightness, volume etc work. In my own Ubuntu distro they don't. How does the Live CD configure these keys?

Ah ha, you are mistaken Sir. Obsolete packages were id'd and removed. But not quite in the desired order.

Running:



sudo aptitude search ?obsolete

Why are you repairing the boot loader if you can't log-in?

As others have suggested switch to a tty terminal (CTRL+ALT+F1). Log-in as root. Assuming that the root password has been set. It's...

There is the wise (or unwise for that matter) way of doing it. And then there is the natural way of doing it.

;)

This package has been removed from 16.10. So we are now forced to install systemd along with init.

Anyone know if we can get upstart-sysv back into 16.10?

I had to chroot from a Live CD and dpkg --configure -a.

It's a mystery why it didn't work first time around. I suspect that libc6 needed updating first and when that didn't happen and as some...

There's plenty of free space on /boot.

If I (auto)remove some of the packages like friendly-recovery say, apt just hangs at this point.



Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency...

I'm trying to upgrade from 16.04.1 (LTS) to 16.10.

I have changed all xenial keywords to yakkety in /etc/apt/sources.list. Then i did apt-get update && apt-get upgrade.

Most packages have...

I have now realised that there are two flaws in the kernel. One of the major flaws is the way in which the kernel creates a hibernation image. It does this in RAM before scratching the image to disk....

In continuing to look at this problem I seem to have managed to suspend to disk even with a tmpfs on the system. My previous conclusion was that this was impossible. There were still issues with that...

I have now managed to isolate the problem.

I have /tmp set as a tmpfs. The test I was running was to load /tmp withh data such that it populated RAM in excess of 35%. Seems that this was the...

I managed to carry out further diagnostics by issuing the following in a standard vanilla kernel:



echo platform > /sys/power/pm_test


The error reported was "Write error to swap device."

I've been able to narrow this issue down. I reinstalled the entire system without encryption. After running the same test the problem doesn't arise. So this means it has to do with the swap partition...

I would appreciate any further ideas..

The machine is one of the new DELLs built around the Skylake platform. I have set Ubuntu up with UEFI. Using Secure Boot or not it's still the same issue. This is what the partition layout looks...

If we look at a similar issue experienced by this user:

The issue described herein appears to...

The partition layout is correct and hibernation works in principle but only to an extent. This is the heart of the issue.

I changed the LVM arrangements around and also tried a fully encrypted...

Sorry but the process isn't critical, convoluted or significant. The swap partition can be anywhere and in any form really, even part of a LVM. /boot is an unencrypted primary volume.

I am having an issue suspending ram to disk (aka. Hibernating).

I am simply issuing this command to the kernel (4.4, 4.7) as root user:



echo disk > /sys/power/state


On a freshly booted...
