  1. [ubuntu_studio] Installing faust on Ubuntu Studio 19 removed a bunch of programs

    Some of which I was using. I went and complained about it on the Faust mailing list but then I realize they don't supply a deb package.



    Package: faust
    Status: install ok installed

  2. [ubuntu] Trouble with fan on Macbook Air 2010, Ubuntu 16.04

    We have managed to install macfanctld, and it gives the following output.


    martin@LinuxBookAir:~$ cat /var/log/macfanctl.log
    Using parameters:
    temp_avg_floor: 45

  3. [ubuntu] Re: Ubuntu 16.04, keep getting read-only file system

    Thanks for the replies. It is conceivable that I power cycled the laptop because it seems to lock up from time to time, no particular pattern other than it doesn't like to come out of a suspend...
  4. [ubuntu] Ubuntu 16.04, keep getting read-only file system

    Now that this has happened a few times I now recognize the symptoms. First symptom is browsers not working, or unable to save anything. Then I see Package Update manager icon at upper right, red...
  5. [ubuntu] Re: After running dpkg, disable secure boot, reboot, no networking devices are availa

    I appreciate your efforts to assist. I just needed to get back to productivity and while not completely back to where I was, I'm pretty close. If it happens again I'll certainly come back.

  6. [ubuntu] Re: After running dpkg, disable secure boot, reboot, no networking devices are availa

    I guess this one stumped our panel of celebrity judges! Something bad and out of the ordinary must have happened although I cannot tell you what it was. I did a backup of my home directory to the...
  7. [ubuntu] Re: After running dpkg, disable secure boot, reboot, no networking devices are availa

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    To summarize, everything was working fine up until last Thursday. It is not a minimal install. It is a default install.

    I got a warning from the package manager...
  8. [ubuntu] Re: After running dpkg, disable secure boot, reboot, no networking devices are availa

    That was the full error message. To my knowledge I did not upgrade the kernel. Wifi worked when booting from Live DVD.

    Out of curiosity, how do we exhaust fully the suspicion of "Secure Boot and...

  10. [ubuntu] Re: After running dpkg, disable secure boot, reboot, no networking devices are availa

    All right, I tried it with sudo this time, and renamed the script to .sh from .txt prior to running it.

    Report follows:





    ########## wireless info START ##########
  11. [ubuntu] Re: After running dpkg, disable secure boot, reboot, no networking devices are availa

    I downloaded the wireless-info.txt file to a USB drive from Windows then rebooted into Ubuntu. Ubuntu did not mount the USB stick automatically, so I went back to Windows and put the file onto the...
  12. [ubuntu] Re: After running dpkg, disable secure boot, reboot, no networking devices are availa

    I will try. I'll have to save all the commands and then copy them when I'm booted into the actual hard drive. Whether I enable Secure Boot or disable it (in BIOS) makes no difference. I'll follow...
  13. [ubuntu] Re: After running dpkg, disable secure boot, reboot, no networking devices are availa

    I created a new Ubuntu 16.04 DVD and booted up in Live mode. My networking adapters are found and working. I was able to go find the /var/log/dpkg.log from last Thursday when the disaster occurred....
  14. [ubuntu] Re: After running dpkg, disable secure boot, reboot, no networking devices are availa

    What precipitated all of this was a red ball notification saying something was goofed up and I should run the package manager.

    Specifically it suggested that I run sudo dpkg --configure -a.

    I...
  15. [ubuntu] Re: After running dpkg, disable secure boot, reboot, no networking devices are availa

    That procedure is probably going to be harder than reinstalling, though I appreciate it. I did manage to run the backup mgr to make a backup of my home directory. I have no network connections so I...
  16. [ubuntu] Re: After running dpkg, disable secure boot, reboot, no networking devices are availa

    Wow, lots of traffic here. All I can say is that I have rebooted probably a dozen times. I either enable or disable secure boot in the BIOS setup. It makes no difference to the situation. However...
  17. [ubuntu] After running dpkg, disable secure boot, reboot, no networking devices are available

    I am running 16.04 LTS on my Asus laptop. It is a dual boot with Windows 10. Ubuntu has been working fine for months.

    Today, I saw a big red dot in the upper right, and clicked on it. Got a...
