I don't need as much help as I did 'back in the day' as Ubuntu gets better and better as time goes on.
Thanks to all...

I started with Breezy Badger.
I can remember getting free CD's from ship it, I think I got like 6 or 7 of them and
was giving them out and still have some laying around in the covers they came in.

Yes rebooting did solve.
Sorry to have bothered with such a 'simple' issue.
I should've know better.
Thanks

I actually found a way to install gnome-schedule and got 'saytime' working!
So gmone-schedule is no more.

Great thread!
12 years ago this forum would really be 'hopping'.

I used the link provided and have always installed using gdebi package installer.
I have 4.16rc1 installed(using) but rc2 & rc3 giving error.

Trying to install the 4.16 kernel.
Getting this from terminal:

dpkg: error: unable to read filedescriptor flags for <package status and progress file descriptor>: Bad file descriptor

I tend to use this method during testing cycles:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

Thank you:D
Now boots all the kernels past 4.15 rc5 and up!

When doing update via terminal this appears:

Wondering if this is the issue and how to fix it?

x session

This messege only shows in the log when I try to boot rc6,7,8 & 9
