Within the past day I've lost the ability to modify any CUPS settings via localhost:631 in Chome. I get a
Unauthorized Enter your username and password or the root username and password to...
That is still a large file if you just deleted it. Keep an eye on it - at some point you are probably going to have to open it up and find out where the problem is. If you find a recurring...
I wrote this about 8 years ago about how to analyze and recover lost disk space. I think it still applies:

You can install gnome-tweak-tool to give you different themes.
You can create/check some keyboard shortcuts via the Settings menu: Settings > Devices > Keyboard
If you are booting into 17.10...
Which version of Ubuntu are you using? For 17.10, click the upper right "Power" button, then the settings icon, then "Region & Language". Or just type "Settings" in the Activities button (upper...
In order to solve the "frozen password" box for many of the graphical apps we currently cannot run as root, one workaround - in conjunction with running the xhost command - is to include the apps in...
I agree with howefield's post. I've been using Ubuntu for over a decade. I overall like the new version, but the transition from Unity is taking a bit of adjustment. If you have a lot of scripts that...
I did a dist-upgrade to 17.10 and my HP printer failed to work initially even though the system saw it. Even though the scanner portion works, you might try re-running hp-setup (or whatever you used...
I have some keys reassigned via xmodmap. I've placed them in a startup script that includes the following:
# Tab key
xmodmap -e "keycode 82 = Tab"
You would need to make an executable...
Exec=bash -c 'xhost +SI:localuser:root && sudo gparted'
Combining the commands within the a .desktop file would eliminate an extra step.
"gksu" or "gksudo" is preferred over "sudo":
Exec=bash...
It is most likely a problem with a temperature monitoring setting in a.conf file (such as /etc/sensors.conf) or something similar. You can probably see the error by running "sensors-detect" as root...
I am having CCSM issues with window decorations and keybindings (especially xmacro assignments). I suspect the issue is the 17.10 update and/or Wayland integration with CCSM.
If you are running...
After reading the previous posts I reinstalled the gimp snap. When opened, it put an icon on the launcher and I was able to lock it to the Dock, so it isn't a pure snap issue.

I've only installed one snap program and uninstalled it shortly thereafter, so I can't speak specifically about snaps.
Were you able to see the snap desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications ? ...
In nautilus (Files), there is a trash bin icon in the top left panel by default.
If you want to add it to the bottom in your own favorites, add the following to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks:

When you right click the file in nautilus and look at the Open with Other Application, there should be a panel at the bottom to Find New Applications. Clicking on that should open Ubuntu Software...
Have you checked Files > Preferences: Search & Preview to see if everything looks ok? You might try limiting the search to only the computer if you have something else selected.
You could also...
You could try it from the command line using "sudo shutdown now" to see if any error messages are generated.
Can you suspend it normally? (in 17.10, you click the Power button, then click and...
I haven't found a "Recents" or "Show Desktop" button for 17.10 using GNOME/Wayland. I've come up with a workaround for both, but there must be easier methods. Please post them.
Until Then:

xhost +si:localuser:root
The command in the initial post just checks to see if you are running Wayland. If you aren't, gksu and pkexec will probably still work as previously.
I've been using Ubuntu for well over a decade. In recent years, I've mostly had to make just minor tweaks to my system to keep it running exactly as I wanted. I've paid little attention to the...
The recovery option may not be for your current document, but for an older one. Check the name of the file that LibreOffice is asking to recover.
Also, if you don't really need to recover the...
Jon02794,
I see you joined the Ubuntu forums last year. Do you happen to have Grub 2 on your computer for booting purposes?
If so, you can download the ISO file directly to your hard drive,...
I did an upgrade from Raring rather than a clean install and Dropbox continues to work normally for me.
